The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

These three nurses were all assassins. Ye Shikai immediately understood their identity, and their target was Zhao Yanran inside the ward. Before this, she was being chased by those assassins in black, and these three nurses were very likely in cahoots with them.

Why is Zhao Yanran being pursued by so many people, wave after wave, and they're all elite cultivators?

"Who exactly are you?" Ye Shikai demanded sternly, brandishing the sword horizontally to block the ward door.

"None of your business." The two nurses revealed a fierce killing intent in their eyes, glancing at the handgun on the floor, eager to snatch it.

"Damn." Ye Shikai cursed under his breath, realizing he had blocked the ward door earlier, unintentionally distancing himself from the gun. Now, there was no way he could get to the gun first. Though unable to grab the gun first, Ye Shikai wasn't someone two small fry could defeat easily. He was confident he could act before they snatched the gun and subdue them.

Just as he intended to move, Ye Shikai suddenly halted his steps — there was still Zhao Yanran inside; an assassin had already entered earlier. If he acted now, Zhao Yanran, with her abilities, would not stand a chance.

"I owe you this." Ye Shikai grudgingly stopped and directly turned to rush into the ward, locking the door behind him.

"Murder!" Upon entering the ward, sure enough, Zhao Yanran cried out in a heart-wrenching plea for help, while the previous nurse held a syringe. It looked like she initially wanted to confuse Zhao Yanran, but hadn't had time to draw the blade before Ye Shikai intervened.

The nurse assassin had the syringe, pressing Zhao Yanran's body down onto the bed, and suddenly pushed it down towards her neck. Zhao Yanran stretched out both hands, resisting with all her might, kicking wildly. But being pressed by the nurse assassin, her legs kicked nothing but air.

Ye Shikai swiftly stepped forward, grabbed the nurse's shoulder, pulled her with force, and slammed her heavily onto the floor.

"Are you alright?" Ye Shikai knocked out the nurse and asked Zhao Yanran.

"No... I'm fine." Zhao Yanran, still in shock, trembling incessantly, made Ye Shikai finally breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily, he made it in time; a moment later would be disastrous.

"Hey, wake up already." Zhao Yanran's eyes were blank, appearing stunned out of fright. In this urgent situation, Ye Shikai slapped her directly.

"Ah, I... someone... murder..."

BANG, BANG, BANG.

Before Zhao Yanran could finish, gunshots rang out at the door lock, sparking from bullets hitting the iron door. Zhao Yanran immediately lunged onto Ye Shikai, causing him to nearly stumble onto the bed due to shifting weight.

"Damn, lady, you weigh a ton." Ye Shikai scooped Zhao Yanran up in a princess carry and headed to the window.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you crazy? This is the fourth floor." Zhao Yanran felt a cool breeze, instinctively nestling closer to Ye Shikai, pressing her chest against his abdomen — a touch that made him "excited" instantly. What was going on? Even in a hospital, they're being hunted.

"Less talk, close your eyes, hold onto my shoulders tight." Ye Shikai shouted loudly, and suddenly, a loud noise echoed from behind — the iron door was forcefully opened by two assassins.

"Close your eyes, don't open them." Ye Shikai took a leap, jumping from the fourth floor.

Whoosh...

"Are we dead yet?" After a while, Zhao Yanran kept her eyes tightly shut, clutching Ye Shikai's shoulders fiercely, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Miss, you can open your eyes now." Ye Shikai sighed, gently placing Zhao Yanran on the ground. He was a cultivator; his inner strength could counteract gravity, akin to Qinggong. But with his current cultivation level, he absolutely couldn't fly around like an airplane.

"How come we didn't die from the fall?" Zhao Yanran exclaimed, jumping twice in place to confirm solid ground beneath her, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

"We'll talk about this later." Ye Shikai grabbed Zhao Yanran's hand and hurriedly ran towards the hospital exit. Along the way, he saw many people running toward the exit, while security and arriving police were streaming inside continuously from outside, indicating the gunfire had caught everyone's attention.

.....................

"Slow down, my hand hurts, it really hurts." Zhao Yanran complained of pain while Ye Shikai pulled her wrist, trying to shake it off but failing until they reached the road entrance. Ye Shikai took Zhao Yanran into a car, finally breathing out a sigh of relief.

"What the heck, you're about to dislocate my shoulder." Zhao Yanran said with annoyance, shaking her arm vigorously, rubbing her wrist.

"You ask me, I want to ask you — who exactly are you? Why are so many people trying to kill you? And why are there cultivators among the assailants? Tell me." Ye Shikai questioned loudly, more of a demand than inquiry.

"I... I..."

"Speak up, if you still don't want to die now." Ye Shikai urged her loudly.

"How does whether I die or not concern you? It's none of your business." Zhao Yanran retorted fearlessly, directly stepping out of the car and slamming the door shut.

"Damn woman, what a waste of kindness." Ye Shikai fumed silently. Despite his anger, he couldn't bring himself to hit her, so he just let her be. But this incident surely wasn't simple, and Zhao Yanran's identity was likely far from ordinary, possibly connected to the wedding shooting incident.

BANG, BANG, BANG.

At this moment, Ye Shikai heard someone knocking on the car window. Turning around, it was Zhang Ting.

"Why are you here?"

"I should be asking you — weren't you just at the hospital? Coincidentally, I received a police alert about a shooting here." Zhang Ting explained, then pulled Ye Shikai's hand, wanting to enter. "Let's hurry in and check it out."

"No need." Ye Shikai grumbled. "The one who was shot at is my friend."

"What?" Zhang Ting couldn't help but exclaim. "Where is she? Is she hurt?"

"No, I jumped with her from above and got out quickly."

"So where is she now? Why isn't she here?" Zhang Ting asked curiously.

"Um... because... I got her angry, so she ran away." Ye Shikai had no better explanation than this.

"Ah, what's going on here?" Zhang Ting appeared puzzled, seemingly not comprehending.

"Um, I'll give you the details later; first, let's check if the assassins are caught." Ye Shikai said.
