The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

A few years ago, my team and I fell into an economic crisis. Helplessly, we conducted the HST project in Zhao Rou's biochemical industrial park. As the team leader, I knew that this project was illegal and inhumane, but I continued the research. It was my momentary greed for money that clouded my judgment. Later, I heard that Zhao Rou used our research results to create horrifying monsters. I bear unshirkable responsibility. After Zhao Rou's scandal broke, our research team was saved but forced to disband because of this incident. I am responsible for everything.

I thought that after Zhao Rou was caught, the HST project would disappear completely. But later, I heard that the HST project actually revived from the ashes. I originally wanted to secretly investigate this matter, but they started looking for me too. For safety, I had no choice but to feign madness and enter the psychiatric hospital. One day, two men said they came to "visit" me. At that time, I knew someone was trying to probe me, so I pretended to be insane. Perhaps they thought I was crazy, or maybe because the occasion was inappropriate, they did not silence me.

The HST project involves recombining animal and human genes to create half-human, half-beast monsters. I know my sins are grave, and I do not plan to come out again in this lifetime. Mr. Ye, I still must thank you for saving our lives, and I implore you to stop them.

Li Rongqi's words indeed gave Ye Shikai a shock. Honestly, Li Rongqi is a good person, though the HST project is indeed the "masterpiece" of his team. However, in such circumstances, Li Rongqi had no other choice. Zhao Rou is ruthless. Ye Shikai clearly remembers, the moment the potion was successfully developed, Zhao Rou planned to have her subordinates kill the entire research team. Such cruelty sends chills down the spine. It's thus inferred that during the research process, Li Rongqi and his team must have faced many threats, even life-threatening ones. They had no choice; to survive, they had to conduct research. Ye Shikai understands them. Li Rongqi also realizes his sins are grave and plans to pretend to be insane for life. Ye Shikai does not intend to push him too hard, but he must ensure Li Rongqi's safety.

"Dr. Li, indeed, has unspeakable concerns." Ye Shikai murmured. Since the HST project leaked, demon exorcists might be related to this project.

"What should we do now." Tianjing said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, those who want to eliminate Dr. Li are probably watching us."

"I know that, of course." Ye Shikai replied, "These people are eager for Dr. Li to show any clues so they can act."

"Tianjing, I need you to do something for me." After pondering for a while, Ye Shikai suddenly spoke.

"What is it?"

"Take Dr. Li away."

.......................................…

"National Security Bureau, please cooperate." Before long, a group of fully armed National Security Bureau members "rushed" into the psychiatric hospital. Seeing their stance, many were first taken aback, thinking something serious must have happened.

Ye Shikai planned to bring Li Rongqi to the National Security Bureau headquarters for strict protection. Those assassins had already been eyeing Li Rongqi, preparing to make a move. Today, Ye Shikai and Tianjing came, and they would surely report back to the forces behind the scenes. Unless they're foolish, that mastermind behind the scenes must know they're here for Li Rongqi. Seeing this situation, they would undoubtedly kill Li Rongqi without hesitation to eliminate future dangers. Therefore, even if Li Rongqi planned to continue feigning illness, Ye Shikai had to take him away.

"Dr. Li, someone wants to harm you, please come with us." Ye Shikai and Tianjing, with a few others, rushed directly into Li Rongqi's ward, disregarding any formality, directly getting to the point. Before Li Rongqi could react, he was already escorted away by Ye Shikai.

"I said not to come to me so ostentatiously." Li Rongqi was protected in the middle by several armed personnel, seemingly a bit bewildered, softly asking Ye Shikai beside him.

"You're being targeted now, we're here to protect you. Once we reach the National Security Bureau, I'll explain everything to you." Ye Shikai urged everyone to move quickly. The setup was already significant. Dozens of armed personnel held riot shields for protection on both sides. The National Security Bureau made such a big arrangement, those assassins monitoring Li Rongqi probably noticed immediately, possibly there are snipers on the high buildings not far away.

Bang, bang, bang.

Suddenly, several bullets shot through the air. Ye Shikai's heart skipped a beat; there were indeed people daring to attack. Seeing this unfold, Tianjing quickly operated Inner Strength, forming a protective shield above everyone. Armed personnel also gathered closely, raising riot shields to create a "shield wall".

Ye Shikai did not expect that in such circumstances, they would dare to use sniping. Fortunately, preparations were adequate. He had Tianjing arrange a bulletproof armored vehicle and several bulletproof jeeps to escort Li Rongqi.

"Tianjing, take people to escort Dr. Li onto the armored vehicle. I'll take people to catch the culprits." Ye Shikai "stuffed" Li Rongqi into the armored vehicle, finally feeling at ease. Even a sniper rifle couldn't penetrate this vehicle's armor. Ye Shikai didn't believe they had weapons with greater firepower.

"Alright, be careful."

"You ensure Dr. Li's safety." Ye Shikai shouted while rushing out to pursue the culprits. Judging from the shooting density of the bullets, there are at least more than three snipers, each shooting from three different buildings ahead. It's truly thrilling to think about, having arrived a little later, Dr. Li would have likely fallen victim to gunfire.

"You guys, go to that building; I'll go to this one." Ye Shikai shouted loudly, now in such circumstances, taking an elevator or stairs is too slow. Ye Shikai had to use a faster method. He took out an equipment resembling a belt from his Storage Ring, fitted the middle hoop into his waist, tied one end of the rope to the hoop on his waist, and the other to a gun.

"Ghost, I hope your equipment works well." Ye Shikai picked up the gun, aimed at the rooftop, and pulled the trigger. The iron hook, carrying the rope, shot out instantly, hooking onto the railing on the rooftop.

Ye Shikai pressed a button on the hoop at his waist, and the rope immediately retracted, pulling his body up rapidly.

A full thirty-six floors, he was pulled up to the rooftop in just five seconds.

Ye Shikai stepped on the railing, jumped onto the rooftop, and sure enough, a man in a black hood was packing up his sniper rifle. Ye Shikai didn't hesitate, rushing forward and punching him into unconsciousness—clean and swift. The gunman was not a cultivator, just an ordinary sniper.

Bang.

Suddenly, another bullet was fired. Ye Shikai dodged sideways, picked up the sniper on the ground, and immediately found cover to hide.
