The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

Su Qingyu's main concern was whether Zeus would hold a grudge against Ye Shikai and seek revenge. She wasn't worried about her own safety; she cared more about Ye Shikai's well-being. As long as Zeus was alive, she would continue to worry.

Fortunately, Yanjing had the power of the National Security Bureau and the Netherworld Palace, so Zeus didn't dare set foot here easily. Ye Shikai was somewhat fearful; Zeus's appearance wasn't accidental, indicating that he had been silently tracking them. However, today's incident inadvertently led Su Qingyu to forgive him.

Ye Shikai took a shower, both to clean his body and to adjust his inner breath. The battle earlier had cost him dearly, draining eighty percent of his Inner Strength from his Dantian. Fortunately, he wasn't seriously injured and could recover slowly.

Ye Shikai walked into the bedroom, lifted the corner of the quilt to get in, and was suddenly kicked by Su Qingyu.

"Get down." Su Qingyu shouted angrily. Ye Shikai was initially taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh, thinking Su Qingyu was unexpectedly being fussy.

"Qingyu, don't be mad, okay?" Ye Shikai got on the bed, ignoring Su Qingyu's gentle pushes and held her in his arms.

"You heartless man, let go." Su Qingyu blushed as Ye Shikai held her. Even after they had become intimate, she still felt shy. Ye Shikai chuckled and tightly embraced Su Qingyu.

"Qingyu, don't blame Ji Qian. Today's incident was truly a misunderstanding." Ye Shikai hesitated for a moment but eventually voiced his concerns. From today's events, it was clear that Su Qingyu utterly detested Ji Qian, as she had seen Ji Qian initiate a kiss, essentially wearing the label of "the other woman."

However, Ye Shikai didn't want the two women to be at odds. On the one hand, he acknowledged his own responsibility for today's events and couldn't entirely blame Ji Qian. On the other hand, if the two women's relationship soured, it would be difficult for Ye Shikai to handle being caught in between.

"I don't blame her." Su Qingyu's body trembled as she said softly, suggesting perhaps Ji Qian hated her instead.

"If you hadn't met me, she would probably be the one sleeping beside you now." There was a hint of jealousy in Su Qingyu's words. Ye Shikai gently held her, thinking that regardless of present or past, time moves forward; too much attachment to the past is a reversal of priorities.

"Alright, let's sleep. We have to return early tomorrow morning." Ye Shikai sighed, turning his back to the beauty beside him.

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

The next day.

When Ye Shikai returned to Yanjing, he felt as though he had been away for ages, even though he had been gone for just a day.

Perhaps because he had experienced too much.

Ji Qian didn't come to Yanjing to see them off. It wasn't clear if she lacked the courage to face Su Qingyu or was avoiding suspicion, as she wasn't even answering her phone.

"Don't you have a case to solve? You should hurry," Su Qingyu seemed to have found relief, saying blandly at the bottom of her company's building. Ye Shikai was initially planning to escort her upstairs, but She stopped him.

"Alright, I'll go then." Ye Shikai suddenly felt a wave of loss, but he nodded. Originally, he was supposed to arrive in Yanjing last night, but because of the incident, he was delayed by half a day, perhaps leaving Zhang Ting anxious at the National Security Bureau.

National Security Bureau.

"Hey, aren't you angry I came back late?" Ye Shikai, who was prepared to confess, was surprised to find the office seemingly peaceful. Zhang Ting merely greeted him calmly and didn't react by throwing things.

"Hah, this happens often, nothing unusual." Zhang Ting sneered, showing disdain.

"Oh, right. Has the demon exorcist posted anything online?" Ye Shikai remembered their wager; if they didn't capture him within three days, he would post online about his escape and Chen Lianfang's death. That day, they heavily injured the demon exorcist but didn't capture him.

"That's quite strange. Logically, since we haven't caught him yet, he should have posted." Zhang Ting scratched her head, saying puzzledly.

"I believe it might be due to 'Four Arms'." At this moment, Tianjing walked in from outside.

"What's Four Arms?" Zhang Ting seemed curious. When she arrived with the National Security Bureau's Armed Personnel, the demon exorcist had already escaped, so she didn't know about the demon exorcist having four arms. Because the matter was too "strange," it was only reported to Jin Li, adding up to the eight present, totaling nine people.

"Well, nothing much. Officer Zhang, continue watching the surveillance here. I have something to say privately to Mr. Ye." Tianjing coughed lightly, saying calmly.

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

"Why be so secretive and call me out?" Ye Shikai asked curiously after Tianjing dragged him to a secluded corner.

"Do you still remember the Mothman?" Tianjing looked around, speaking mysteriously.

"Of course, that monster nearly killed me back then." Ye Shikai rolled his eyes, recalling how if he hadn't been quick-witted, that day during his wedding, severely wounded by a mysterious masked woman with several Mothmen around. Who was that female assassin, and why? Where did the Mothmen come from?

"Remember Zhao Rou's HST project, transforming people into Mothmen? I suspect that maybe the demon exorcist was remodeled similarly to Mothmen."

After hearing this, Ye Shikai rubbed his chin thoughtfully. At the time, eight people battled the demon exorcist for hundreds of rounds, with Ye Shikai hitting each hand, finding the strength, speed, and techniques identical. Though hard to believe, the reality was the demon exorcist indeed had four hands.

How could a normal person have four hands unless special drugs were used or genes modified? This reminded Ye Shikai of another person.

Refining Mo, leader of the Tomb Spirit Organization.

During Nightmare's attempt in Hong Kong, he cut off one of Refining Mo's arms, only for the shocking scene of Refining Mo's limbs regenerating quickly, returning to normal in no time, a regenerative ability no normal human possesses.

Thinking this way, perhaps the demon exorcist having four arms was truly related to the HST project.

"Although Zhao Rou is dead, her backing is still operating. Last time, a SWAT team raid on a suspected base ended in an ambush; a bomb injured several officers." Tianjing continued, suggesting that the demon exorcist might indeed have other forces behind him.
