The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1982: Storm Approaching

"The Chen family will definitely come to the East Sea, and it will be very soon, as fast as three days, at most a week; they will undoubtedly arrive." Ye Shikai analyzed.
"I agree with Mr. Ye’s view; they will definitely come, and the sooner the better. Once time drags on, we’ll be prepared, and the probability of the Chen family’s success will decrease." Zheng Ji expressed his agreement.
"If the Chen family comes, where will they go?" Zheng Li sat in the central seat, his expression grave. The current situation was still not optimistic; the Chen family was aggressive and in their prime, although their strategy was to rest and wait for others to tire. Nevertheless, the Chen family has annexed so many families, and so many families have submitted to them; they will come to ’join the battle.’ If the Chen and Zheng families are both fierce tigers, then behind the Chen family follows many ’evil wolves.’ Even if some families or the Three Temples might come to aid, their strength pales in comparison to their opponents.
"I have a location in mind, and I can say, there is an eighty percent chance the Chen family will come there first." Ye Shikai said confidently.
"Is that so? Mr. Ye, are you sure? Where is that place?"
"Actually, I’ve been there before with Mr. Zheng and Qian." Ye Shikai said coolly.
"Are you talking about..."
"That’s right, the Zheng Family Cemetery." Ye Shikai nodded, explaining that the Zheng Family Cemetery is located in the outskirts of the East Sea’s Outer Suburb Mountain. It is a feng shui treasure, which is why it was chosen as the site for the Zheng Family Cemetery. But precisely because of its special location, Ye Shikai can deduce that the Chen family will start there. What could be a more egregious act than ’desecrating ancestors’? Moreover, the Outer Suburb Mountain is conveniently located in the suburbs, making it easy for a large contingent to arrive. Incidentally, it is the only place the Chen family dares to send their mutants.
"Speaking of which, a person suddenly comes to mind." Zheng Ji suddenly said.
"Zheng Su." Zheng Ji said coldly.
"Are you talking about your cousin?"
"Yes, father. Although Zheng Su has the Zheng surname, she is not part of our direct lineage but rather an outsider. The crucial point is Zheng Su has always remained in Chang’an, managing our assets, and maintaining contacts with the three major families there. However, now all three families have pledged allegiance to the Chen family. Why hasn’t she returned? What he said makes sense, although Zheng Su is merely a woman, her methods are highly skilled, extremely talented, deeply calculating, and ambitious. Despite not being of the Zheng direct lineage, she has been ’usurping’ Zheng family power over the years, even recruiting numerous people. So why hasn’t she returned to Chang’an? There must be hidden intentions behind it.
"Mr. Zheng is right." Ye Shikai expressed agreement. "Although I’m not part of the Zheng family, and logically speaking should not meddle in Zheng family affairs, Zheng Su is indeed a hidden threat; I can even suspect she has secretly defected to the Chen family."
"Defected to the Chen family; what does she want to do?" Zheng Li’s face turned cold; upon hearing this, his hand involuntarily clenched tightly.
"It’s simple; she wants to rely on the Chen family’s strength to seize the Zheng Family Head position." If the two sides clash and the Zheng family falls, then once annexed, Zheng Su can legitimately become the new Family Head of the Zheng family. Of course, with her ambition, she won’t just meekly submit under Chen Yuxin’s command, but she has ultimately compromised Zheng family’s interests, even using the position of Family Head as a price.
"What Ji’er and Mr. Ye said makes a lot of sense; I cannot but guard against her."

The Zheng Family Cemetery is not just any place; it’s a large suburban area with dense forests and a mountain, making it a very suitable site for a decisive battle.
"The people from the Three Temples, along with the remaining Ji family members, have all been assembled."
"Members from various major families have also gradually arrived at the East Sea; we have already sent people for arrangement."
"All Zheng family members, totaling two thousand, are also ready and waiting."
The Chen family hasn’t shown any movements yet, but all Zheng family members have started mobilizing, even moving into around the Zheng Family Cemetery. This is undoubtedly a risky decision; if the Chen family suddenly attacks the Zheng family mansion, it would be a direct raid of the Zheng family’s base.
Two days later.
Deep into the night.
"There’s movement."
"Nightmare, Ghost, Soul Destroyer, Demoness, follow me." Ye Shikai ordered, telling the others to stay put while leading the four forward.
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Ye Shikai took the four forward; suddenly, there was noise from the forest, indeed the Chen family had arrived.
"Boss, look, it’s the people from the Shadow Organization." Ghost pointed ahead; several people emerged from the forest, led by Feng Ling, with Xue Ming and Limei following, and the person at the very end was not unexpected to Ye Shikai.
"Isn’t that Yueling?" Nightmare asked.
"Yes, it’s that very popular star, Yueling, who has another identity as well; she’s one of the four commanders of the Shadow Organization, Commander Yue." Ye Shikai had long anticipated her identity; since George was under Chen Yuxin, then appearing in the same hotel room with George, of course, Yueling was also under Chen Yuxin.
"The presence of the four commanders of the Shadow Organization means the Chen family’s main force must also be here." Soul Destroyer analyzed.
"Yes, the Shadow Organization is Chen Yuxin’s confidant; in the Chen family, they are her most loyal subordinates and also the most capable. With them appearing here, it indicates Chen Yuxin is also nearby." Ye Shikai nodded, his estimate was correct, and their chances of victory increased.
"Boss, let’s act. Now it’s just these four, we can wipe them out in one go. Most of our Netherworld Palace brothers died at their hands." Soul Destroyer suggested.
"No, we still can’t move." Ye Shikai shook his head. Although the four commanders of Feng Flower Snow Moon are here, it doesn’t mean anything. The real threat from the Chen family is the synthetic poison insects and mutant army, along with those ’vassal’ families. Rashly acting might at most take down four of Chen Yuxin’s subordinates, avenging the Netherworld Palace brothers from before, but it would expose their position, leading the whole plan to fail.
"Alright, damn it, just give me three seconds, and I can catch them off guard." Soul Destroyer said with great reluctance but had no choice but to lay low.
"Boss, what should we do next?" Ghost inquired.
"Wait, the Chen family has to show up again. If things go well, tonight will be our decisive battle, and we must win."
