The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1991: Hostage

That’s correct, the current explanation is that Ji Qian is gravely ill; she couldn’t have left on her own, and since her body couldn’t be found at the scene, Ji Qian must have been abducted by the Chen family. He must go rescue her.

“Boss, calm down first. We cannot be certain yet that the Moon God is in the Chen family’s hands. If you just go like this, you might fall into their trap.” Ghost stepped forward to advise, “Even if we take a step back—if the Moon God is truly with the Ji family—she may not be in immediate danger. If the Chen family really wanted her dead, they wouldn’t have kidnapped her.”

“Yes, sir, Ghost makes sense. We need to rescue her, but we can’t be rash. We should at least make a plan first.” Nightmare echoed, Ye Shikai was now emotional, and hearing this news, Ji Tao and Ji Yu were also in panic, even Zheng Ji was persuading.

“I’m worried about her injuries.” Ye Shikai sighed, Ji Qian was poisoned, and her wound continued to be infected, her fever unrelenting. Although she took the Shennong Pill and improved somewhat, she still needed proper treatment. Wuyan and Dugu Tianke were en route, who would have thought this would happen, Ye Shikai knew well that Chen Yuxin had long harbored deep hatred for Ji Qian, even if she didn’t want to kill her, she’d have other ways to torment her. If not treated in time, Ji Qian could die.

“In any case, this can’t be delayed. Even if we can’t rescue her, we should at least understand the situation.” Ye Shikai has already decided to meet Chen Yuxin, at least to confirm if Ji Qian is really held by the Chen family, then we’ll plan the next steps, everything needs to be considered, inevitable to negotiate with Chen Yuxin.

The Main Sacrificial Land has become a pile of ruins, littered with corpses. Those who came in first cleaned up the bodies, buried those of the Zheng family properly, and gathered and burned the mutant corpses. These creatures were not meant to “see the light,” but now, Chen Yuxin is increasingly crossing boundaries, dispatching large numbers of mutants during the day. In other words, she’s growing increasingly insane, reckless, disregarding consequences or costs…

This isn’t a good omen. Right now, all fights or casualties are limited to the Huaxia families, the general populace is not yet aware of what’s happening here, at least no civilians know. But Ye Shikai has a vague premonition that this matter won’t be “hidden” for much longer. If this battle between the families doesn’t end soon, the subsequent events, the consequences, no one can foresee.

Ye Shikai knows he can no longer persuade Chen Yuxin, she wouldn’t care about rumors, she isn’t even afraid of everyone knowing the secret behind all this, otherwise she wouldn’t dare send out so many mutants.

“Wait.” Just as Ye Shikai was about to leave, a woman stopped him.

“Ji Yu, it’s you.”

“Is my sister with Chen Yuxin?” Ji Yu asked directly, without beating around the bush, “I’m begging you, save her.”

“Don’t worry. If your sister is really with the Chen family, I would give up my life to save her.” Ye Shikai said with determination. Ji Qian is now missing, the only possibility is that she’s with the Chen family. Naturally, Ji Yu couldn’t remain calm; if she had the capability, she would directly confront Chen Yuxin.

“If my sister is with the Chen family, can you rescue her?” Ji Yu questioned with full anticipation in her eyes, hoping to see Ye Shikai smile confidently and nod gently.

“Rest assured, I will definitely save her.” Ye Shikai comforted her.

“Really?”

“Of course, have I ever failed in anything I promised? Rest assured, I will certainly save her.”

“Alright, I believe you.”

Ye Shikai hadn’t slept all night, in fact, the battle at the Main Sacrificial Land ended a few hours later, with daylight already breaking, everything fell into silence. The bodies were mostly cleared up, but too many died, they were hastily buried in the Zheng family’s cemetery, their ancestral “place of slumber” being desecrated like this. Zheng Li was infuriated and reportedly even spat blood from anger. Though unwilling to admit it, this time Chen Yuxin had everyone beaten quite miserably.

The next day.

“Who are you? Raise your hands.”

“How dare you, look who I am.” Ye Shikai slowly stepped forward, the guard, upon seeing the visitor, immediately lowered his head.

“So it’s the Young Master, I deserve to die.”

“Alright, take me inside.” Ye Shikai said calmly. It was indeed “strange” that on this morning, Chen Yuxin would proactively reveal the location of the camp, but Ye Shikai had already expected it. Chen Yuxin purposely wanted him to come looking.

“Young Master, please follow me.” The guard seemed to know Ye Shikai would come; he respectfully led him into the camp, perhaps Chen Yuxin had given them instructions in advance.

“Okay.”

………………

“Kai, you finally arrived. Were you alright last night? How come you’ve lost weight over the past few days?” Chen Yuxin walked up, showing great concern for him. If one didn’t know her, they’d surely think she was a good wife and mother.

“Alright, stop with that act.” Ye Shikai waved his hand, coldly questioning, “I truly didn’t expect you’d dare to let those creatures swagger around. Have you gone mad?”

“Kai, since you understand this well, why resist? I have as many mutants as I want; even if you fend them off once or twice, how much longer can you hold on? Eventually, the only result is a dead end. Is that what you’re pursuing?” Chen Yuxin spoke of reality. They are currently at a disadvantage, the mutants’ attack has depleted their strength. The critical question is—how many mutants are there…

“Alright, I didn’t come to beat around the bush. Ji Qian is with you, right? Hand her over to me; she’s poisoned, if not treated, she’ll die.” Ye Shikai asked.

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

“Are you still pretending to be clueless?” Ye Shikai’s face suddenly grew grave. Chen Yuxin knew he would be coming today, which meant Ji Qian must be here.

“We can negotiate everything else, but hand her over first.” Ye Shikai grew somewhat anxious; his tone inadvertently sharpened, “She’s poisoned right now, I can’t let her die like this.”

“Kai, is she that important to you?”

“Yes, very important, can’t do without her.” Ye Shikai nodded firmly, speaking resolutely.

“Then between her and me, who’s more important?” Chen Yuxin pressed.

“Meeting you is urgent, I don’t want to answer meaningless questions.” Ye Shikai rolled his eyes, responding coldly.
