The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1993: The Solution

Every action comes with consequences. Some results can be reversed, but others are irreversible. Chen Yuxin compelled so many noble families to submit and engaged in a decisive battle against the Zheng Family in the East Sea. This could arguably be the largest “campaign” among Huaxia nobility in a hundred years. No one knows the final result, but everyone understands clearly: once the battle begins, it won’t just stop. There are only two outcomes: either the Chen family wins, and the Zheng family disappears forever, leading to chaos among the Huaxia nobility; even if they don’t surrender, each family will fight on its own, and the final outcome is easy to predict. The other possibility is defeat for the Chen family, returning everything to the original state, but the Chen family could no longer remain, at least not in Huaxia…

The matter of mutant beings has become an open secret. Although the masses are unaware, the noble families know all too well. This is a blatant challenge to the world, yet most people still submit due to the mutants’ overwhelming power. But if the Chen family is defeated, they would immediately become street rats, reviled by all.

Since Chen Yuxin has already taken these steps, the only choice is to press on, one path to the end…

Ye Shikai is uncertain of the Chen family’s next move. Although Chen Yuxin verbally expresses no fear or concern about him knowing, Ye Shikai can sense that he is under “house arrest” here, fortunately still able to communicate with the outside world.

“Kai, you should stay here for a while. The Zheng family’s defeat is just a matter of time. We will leave soon. Once I control all the Huaxia noble families, it will be us who dictate the future as we please.”

“I’m not interested in your plans at all.”

“Oh, really? Aren’t you curious about my next move?” Chen Yuxin retorted.

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell the Zheng Family?”

“Of course I’m not afraid.” Chen Yuxin gave the same answer. She’s not afraid, and there are two possibilities: one is that she is absolutely confident, so even if exposed, it doesn’t matter; the other is that she’ll provide false information, misleading the Zheng Family. Either possibility is unfavorable for him.

“Alright, I’m done teasing you, Kai. The Zheng family is doomed to lose; you can’t succeed. If you get the Netherworld Palace people out of here now, I’ll forgive past grievances and it would save their lives,” Chen Yuxin shifted her tone, “By the way, speaking of which, you managed to produce the synthetic poison insects’ inducement agent, which was quite unexpected. How did you obtain it?”

Ye Shikai remained silent, averting his gaze from her.

“Alright, it’s fine if you don’t explain. Ultimately, it’s not my trump card anyway. Even without using synthetic poison insects, I can still achieve my goal. I’m leaving now.”

Ye Shikai remained in the Chen family’s camp. He didn’t know what was happening outside, but he could guess their upcoming actions. He even had doubts about Zheng Li’s resolve; if he couldn’t withstand the pressure, he might surrender directly.

I just hope he can hold out a little longer. Although Ye Shikai was in the Chen family, he still tried to come up with strategies, making sure not to waste time here. Since he’s at the Chen camp, he could find some acquaintances.

………………

“Looks like you’re doing pretty well here,” Ye Shikai found Li Changtian. Previously, he had the Li Family feign allegiance to the Chen Family, intending to make plans later. However, it seems he broke his promise, as he still had no plans.

“If Mr. Ye doesn’t have a new plan yet, this feigned surrender may just become a real one.” Li Changtian sighed bitterly.

“Then I’ve really let you down; I have no plan whatsoever right now.”

“Forget it, Mr. Ye, you’ve done your best. Honestly, the events of the past few days have been hard to accept, even for an old man like me. The Tang Family, the Gongsun Family, have suffered severe losses, and now it’s likely our turn.” Li Changtian was very worried. Although they were pretending to surrender, they still obeyed the Chen family’s directives. Li Changtian had no choice but to comply with their orders.

“Those mutants, even just one thousand of them can pose a headache to any noble family. Even now within the Chen family’s camp, we have no clue about their underlying power.” Li Changtian didn’t know how many mutants the Chen family had at their disposal, but just the ones known numbered two to three thousand, possibly hidden among the forest surrounding the Zheng Family’s burial ground. It’s practically invisible to outsiders. In times of crisis like this, it’s the best to test human nature…

“In fact, I still have a method, although it’s quite risky. But if successful, it could deliver a fatal strike to the Chen family.” Li Changtian suddenly mentioned.

“What kind of method?” Upon hearing this, Ye Shikai’s spirit lifted, and he quickly inquired.

“Yesterday, Jin Li visited me. Naturally, no one knows about his visit. He told me some news…”

Dusk.

“Kai, I heard you wanted to see me. Why not come to me directly? Why send Feng Ling as a messenger?” Chen Yuxin walked into the tent excitedly, finding Ye Shikai eating dinner inside.

“I have something to discuss with you. Have you eaten? Sit and join me.”

“Kai, what’s the matter? Just say it.”

“I want to discuss a serious matter with you.”

“Go ahead.”

“I can help you persuade the Zheng Family and the Ji Family to submit, but you have to end the fighting. I don’t want to see more deaths.” Ye Shikai said calmly, but his words left Chen Yuxin quite shocked. Just days ago, Ye Shikai was firmly against it; now he had chosen to compromise.

“Kai, what made you think this way?” Chen Yuxin wasn’t foolish, Ye Shikai’s attitude was almost a complete turnaround, so she was understandably curious and followed up with a question.

“I just don’t want more people to die.” Ye Shikai responded lightly.

“Is that really your reason?”

“Are you really set on fighting to the death? You want to dominate all Huaxia noble families. If I can persuade them, isn’t that a good thing?” Ye Shikai asked sternly, “If negotiation can settle things, why resort to violence? But what makes you think you can persuade them?”

“That’s not for you to worry about. I have my methods. Of course, you can choose not to believe me, and then I won’t concern myself further.”

“Haha, Kai, why wouldn’t I trust you?” Chen Yuxin suddenly laughed; though she seemed casual, Ye Shikai could tell she’d thought it over. Perhaps she deemed it beneficial, even if the negotiation failed, there’d be no harm.

“Since you say so, of course, I promise not to take action if you can persuade them.”
