The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

Ye Shikai had always suspected a connection between the HST project and Boss Xing, but due to the unpredictable nature of the latter, it was difficult to grasp his movements. Initiating an attack was even more challenging. Ye Shikai understood the genetic modification drugs in the HST project; it was like those from science fiction novels. Such a "villainous" substance - how deranged must the people behind its creation be?

Ye Shikai trusted Tianjing's words about seventy percent and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. If the demon exorcist had nothing to do with the HST project, then how did he achieve "Four Arms"? It couldn't possibly be due to radiation mutation, could it?

"I remember, back in Zhao Rou's biochemical industrial park, I saw a team of researchers under Zhao Rou who were specifically responsible for the HST project and they seemed to be coerced. They nearly got silenced in the end." Ye Shikai recalled those times; the first batch of drugs was just produced. If they had arrived a day later, the drug might have leaked out. Looking back now, it truly was a matter of fate.

"That's right, wasn't there a research team rescued at that time? We can go find them." Ye Shikai suddenly said, remembering Dr. Li, the one he personally saved back then.

"No way, they were silenced too, weren't they?" Ye Shikai suddenly voiced a deeply unsettling premonition.

"Not at all, ever since Zhao Rou died, the director has issued a strict order to protect every member of the research team." Tianjing quickly replied.

"That's great, let's go quickly then." Ye Shikai said excitedly, just about to leave but was stopped by Tianjing.

"Wait, Dr. Li is fine, but his mind... has a bit of a problem." Tianjing said awkwardly, pointing to his head with a look of lament.

"He's gone mad." Ye Shikai froze in place, Dr. Li had actually... gone mad. Seeing Tianjing nod slightly, Ye Shikai's heart sank instantly.

"No, I need to go see him. Where is he?"

"Sigh, I'll take you." Tianjing, seeing Ye Shikai's persistence, had no choice but to accompany him to the mental hospital.

Ye Shikai thoughtfully bought a fruit basket to visit Dr. Li.

"Excuse me, in which ward is Dr. Li Rongqi?" Ye Shikai asked at the front desk. Since it was a mental hospital, there were inevitably some "aggressive" patients, so the care staff included several young men.

Fortunately, Dr. Li wasn't among them.

"Please wait a moment, who are you?" As they reached the ward door, a female nurse stopped them.

"We are from National Security..."

"We're friends of Dr. Li, here to visit him." Ye Shikai smiled and said.

"Dr. Li Rongqi has a friend visiting, but weren't you two here before." The female nurse said curiously, which intrigued Ye Shikai and Tianjing even more. Could it be that someone else had visited Li Rongqi before? It was known that Zhao Rou had cut off all external contacts of the research team, so no one outside should know Li Rongqi was in the mental hospital.

Thinking of this, Ye Shikai had an ominous premonition that those who came to "visit" Dr. Li Rongqi were possibly here to kill him and silence him. Zhao Rou, the HST project leader, wasn't she silenced? As the leader of the research team, Li Rongqi was likely to be silenced as well, wasn't he?

"We're just coming over from Lingnan, it's normal that you haven't seen us." Ye Shikai randomly fabricated an excuse, and Tianjing instantly understood his intention, echoing along.

"Alright then, make it quick. His condition isn't very stable, talking too much isn't good for his recovery." The nurse reminded.

"Of course, of course." Ye Shikai repeatedly assured.

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

Opening the ward door, they first saw an old man curled up in the corner, with his back facing them.

"I haven't committed any crime."

"The drug, the drug is in trouble."

Li Rongqi slowly turned his head, seeing Ye Shikai, first stunned, then pounced like a leopard spotting its prey, grabbing Ye Shikai's clothes tightly, his eyes full of terror. Tianjing instinctively tried to intervene but was stopped by Ye Shikai. A mental patient wouldn't lie; what he's saying now might be what he truly wants to express.

"Dr. Li, do you still recognize me?" Ye Shikai said calmly.

"You, haha, you're not a delivery guy, haha." Unexpectedly, Li Rongqi began babbling, speaking nonsense before long. Ye Shikai felt somewhat helpless, difficult to comprehend his behavior. It seemed his mind truly had problems.

"Mr. Ye, I feel his mood isn't quite stable." Tianjing sighed; if they could understand a madman's words, they wouldn't be far from madness themselves.

"You really want to communicate with him?" At this point, the nurse walked in holding some psychiatric medication "If you manage to communicate with him, then you must be crazy too."

"Alright, just a look will do. What you say, he may not understand. What he says, you won't understand either. The intention exhibited is enough." The nurse spoke helplessly, though it was just the truth. Li Rongqi's current state was indeed beyond help.

"How about it, I told you it's useless." Outside the mental hospital, Tianjing grumbled while turning the car key, intending to start the engine.

"Wait." Ye Shikai suddenly stopped him.

"What's the matter, do you have more to say?"

"Dr. Li never went mad." Ye Shikai's expression changed, he spoke coldly, his tone unusually serious.

"What did you say?" Tianjing was shocked by these words.

"Look at this." Ye Shikai pulled out a piece of paper filled with dense writing.

"This is..."

"What Dr. Li wanted to tell us." Ye Shikai said coldly "He secretly slipped it to me just now."

"Dr. Li is pretending to be crazy to avoid being killed. This paper he gave me just now, so I simply put on an act, pretending he really is a madman."

"You're something else, quick, let's see what's inside." Upon hearing this, Tianjing immediately became excited. Dr. Li hadn't lost his mind, so he surely knew the details of the HST project.

Mr. Ye, this letter is specifically written to you. First, thank you for saving the lives of our entire team last time. After Zhao Rou's death, I found someone was investigating me and tried to set me up to be killed. Helplessly, I can only feign madness to escape a disaster, but I vaguely feel they won't let me go, so I wrote this letter waiting for your arrival.

I know you must be here to ask me about the HST project. To continue concealing that I'm feigning insanity, we should communicate via letters, and the contents should be destroyed after reading.
