The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1987: Main Sacrificial Land Attacked

As the saying goes, “When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with anger,” and when Tang Can saw Ye Shikai for the first time, a trace of resentment indeed flashed across his face. Previously in Bai Qi’s Relics in Chang’an, Ye Shikai had caused endless trouble for the Tang Family, and at the Kunlun Ruins, the Tang Family also suffered heavy losses because of him without gaining anything. Last night, they were ambushed by the Netherworld Palace, resulting in a loss of nearly a thousand people. This was not something easy to swallow.

However, Tang Can was not a simple character. He quickly concealed his anger and instead greeted with a smile.

“So it’s Mr. Ye, I didn’t expect it to be you coming to support us.” The two stepped forward and shook hands, smiling insincerely, each with their own ulterior motives, which both were well aware of.

“About last night’s incident, I really must apologize. You suffered such a heavy loss,” Ye Shikai said with a cold laugh.

“This has nothing to do with Mr. Ye; it’s all because I listened to Chen Yuxin and brought this loss upon myself. That’s why I decided to change sides.”

“That’s good. Since that’s the case, we are now allies fighting on the same side.”

“Gladly.”

“By the way, Miss Zheng, didn’t you say there were people from the Gongsun Family? Where are they?” Ye Shikai asked in return.

“Sun is right behind. Their people are in the rear; fortunately, the Chen Family didn’t follow, or we’d be in trouble,” Tang Can exhibited a look of relief; he was indeed an excellent “actor,” his acting skills were quite impressive.

Ye Shikai didn’t believe that the Tang Family and the Gongsun Family could “retreat unscathed” so easily. At the very least, if the Chen Family didn’t want them to, it was absolutely impossible for them to succeed. Moreover, Chen Yuxin was always decisive in dealing with traitors, even if the opposition were two large families. Once a dual loyalty was detected, it meant certain death.

“But since it’s Mr. Ye coming to support us, I’m relieved. Everyone in Huaxia knows Mr. Ye’s skills, haha.”

“Alright, let’s get moving,” Ye Shikai waved his hand, and gradually, more and more people emerged from the dense forest, including members of the Gongsun Family; everything seemed normal…

Of course, Ye Shikai was very aware that things couldn’t be this smooth. The intentions of the Tang Family and the Gongsun Family, along with Zheng Su’s motives, were absolutely not that simple.

“Soul Destroyer, Ghost, each of you take a team of Hidden Guards and go check behind us to see if there are any Chen Family members tailing us. If there are, report back immediately. Do not engage, absolutely avoid confrontation,” Ye Shikai didn’t want them to get into trouble. If the Chen Family was indeed following, their numbers would surely be significant and most likely elite members of the Chen Family.

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

Zheng Li arranged personnel on both sides of the grove, precisely two kilometers from the rendezvous point. If the Chen Family caught up, they could turn the tables and ambush them.

Ye Shikai carefully inspected the surroundings; there was no sign of movement. The Chen Family had not caught up, and it seemed neither the Tang Family nor the Gongsun Family intended to act; could it be they truly wished to defect?

The group slowly reached the location of the Zheng Family’s ambush, yet still, there was no sign of movement.

“Sir, at this rate, we’re about to pass through the ambush zone, but there’s been no movement; what should we do?” Nightmare asked softly.

“Don’t rush; let’s see what they do first. You go relay the message, tell Mr. Zheng not to make any rash moves, and wait for my signal before acting.”

“Yes, sir.”

Zheng Ji didn’t rush to act either and chose to wait. Could it be that they were overthinking it all, and the Tang Family and the Gongsun Family genuinely wanted to defect? No, certainly not.

“It’s bad,” at this moment, a guard from the Zheng Family suddenly rushed over.

“What happened?”

“Mr. Ye, just now… a large number of mutants attacked the Main Sacrificial Land, we suffered heavy losses.”

“What did you say?” Ye Shikai said excitedly; the Main Sacrificial Land was their base camp. How did mutants from the Chen Family manage to attack there at this precise moment?

This was a conspiracy.

Ye Shikai’s gaze immediately fell on Tang Can, who seemed to realize something too, suddenly stepping back and dodging to the rear of the group.

“Attack, kill them!” Tang Can shouted loudly, and everyone immediately drew their weapons and charged toward the people from the Netherworld Palace.

“Be careful, sir,” Nightmare had already prepared, rushing forward with weapons, as thousands from both sides clashed in battle.

“Well, Miss Zheng, you really are a traitor.” Ye Shikai said coldly; it seemed he hadn’t misjudged. Zheng Su indeed was a traitor, and both the Tang Family and the Gongsun Family feigned allegiance but aimed to stab them in the back. However, he hadn’t expected that the Main Sacrificial Land—their base camp—had also been attacked by mutants, leaving the situation there unknown.

“For success, this is nothing. You people don’t deserve to be in this position,” Zheng Su said with a cold laugh, drawing a dagger from her waist and thrusting it toward Ye Shikai. She had some skills but was no match for Ye Shikai; within three moves, she was forced back.

“Humph, just look around you,” Ye Shikai said with a cold smile. Zheng Ji led the Zheng Family troops in a charge from both sides; they’d been lying in wait for quite some time. If not for that guard reporting the situation at the Main Sacrificial Land, Zheng Su and Tang Can would likely have continued their act.

“Kill.”

“Slaughter them.”

“Well, I didn’t expect you to hold a card up your sleeve.”

“This is called turning the tables, Zheng Su; we’ve seen through your petty schemes long ago, give up and surrender.”

“No way I’m surrendering.”

Half an hour later.

“Damn it, we’re caught in an ambush; there are too many of them, we need to retreat quickly,” Tang Can shouted. They were counter-ambushed here, losing many right from the start, although they supplemented some manpower to “blend in” among the two families, they were still far inferior compared to the Zheng Family’s elite. After half an hour of fighting, they’d lost thousands while the Zheng Family suffered almost no casualties.

“There’s no escaping.” Zheng Ji was unwilling to give up the chance, planning to pursue and exterminate them, but was stopped by Ye Shikai.

“Mr. Zheng, don’t chase them any further.”

“Why not? It’s a great opportunity.”

“Something happened at the Main Sacrificial Land; a guard just brought news that it was attacked by mutants, with heavy losses. We need to hurry back and check on the situation,” Ye Shikai persuaded. They had brought their elites out for this ambush, hoping nothing had gone wrong at the Main Sacrificial Land.

“Damn it, fine, let’s hurry back.”
