The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

"What, glassware." Ye Shikai quickly stepped forward, the flashlight beam illuminating the glass fragments, which reflected light like the glassware in a high school chemistry lab. Back when Ye Shikai was failing, he remembered this stuff well, but how could regular homes have laboratory equipment? Could it be this homeowner was also into chemistry, or perhaps this place was originally a lab...

He turned to look, it was a steel pipe, which seemed like it used to be a sink but was hastily dismantled. Scattered on the floor were traces of "debris."

"There must be more clues in this house, can we contact the homeowner?" Ye Shikai put away the flashlight, speaking seriously.

"No, we checked the phone; it's a dead number. However, according to the new homeowner, the number was valid until this morning." Tianjing said blandly. The National Security Bureau was efficient; as soon as they arrived, Tianjing had the team turn the room's information upside down.

"Even the phone is gone, isn't the new homeowner worried about being scammed?"

"Heh, this house was transferred for twenty million, paid in cash, and the property papers are real. The new homeowner certainly wants to avoid extra trouble." Tianjing sighed, deepening Ye Shikai's suspicion that this house might have been Boss Xing's base.

"Forking out twenty million in cash; the new owner must be quite wealthy." Ye Shikai said disdainfully, "Alright, send over a few people to thoroughly search this house, and meanwhile, explain things to the new homeowner."

"Hmm, leave it to me, the inspection won't take long, half a day should do."

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

Ring, ring.

Ye Shikai instinctively took out his phone, and this call truly surprised him.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, you know who I am."

"Demon exorcist, I never thought you'd dare call me." Ye Shikai took a deep breath, forcibly calming himself, and said coldly. The person on the other end was the one who blew a scandal in Yanjing wide open, the demon exorcist. Ye Shikai never imagined he would dare call. Initially, he suspected Zhang Ting's injury was related to him, was furious, and now the demon exorcist was proactively contacting him.

"Mr. Ye, do you have time to meet?" Suddenly, the demon exorcist proposed something Ye Shikai never dreamed of.

Meeting, Ye Shikai didn't mishear, did he? A notorious, wanted criminal dares to arrange a meeting, is he truly fearless?

"Alright, I accept." Regardless, Ye Shikai seemed to have no reason to refuse. Seeing the situation, Tianjing came over.

"Mr. Ye, I know you must have many questions, but please be patient; once we meet, I'll answer them one by one." The demon exorcist spoke without arrogance, but rather with sincerity. Ye Shikai was curious why he was like this.

"Who was it?" Tianjing also came over, asking curiously.

"Our old friend."

"Who?"

"Demon exorcist." Ye Shikai turned his head, saying deliberately.

"What, the demon exorcist called you, what's going on?" Tianjing said in shock, quickly stopping Ye Shikai.

"I haven't said much about this; truthfully, I have the demon exorcist's number, but don't get too hopeful; most of the time, it's a dead number. Usually, he calls me." Ye Shikai said plainly.

"How does he have your number?"

"He's a hacker, having my number is normal."

"Why did he call you?" Tianjing asked one question after another, and Ye Shikai answered them all.

"He wants to meet me." Ye Shikai's tone was calm, as if speaking of something usual.

"What." Tianjing shouted excitedly.

"Don't be so excited; it's nothing significant."

"Is your head feverish?" Tianjing surprisingly reached out, feeling Ye Shikai's forehead.

"Meet for what, ambush him, and grab him when he shows up." Tianjing shouted excitedly; with preparation, not just Four Arms, even Eight Arms, he'd have confidence in catching the demon exorcist.

"No." Ye Shikai immediately said, "I feel something's off. The demon exorcist dares risk capture by us to meet, which means he must have something crucial to tell us." Ye Shikai said firmly.

"This is the perfect opportunity to catch him; we can't let it slip by." Tianjing still wouldn't listen to reason, insisting on capturing the demon exorcist. He was standing from the National Security Bureau's perspective; if the demon exorcist leaked his escape online, the hard-earned stabilized public opinion would stir up again.

And if they caught the demon exorcist, there'd be no worries and perhaps even extract some intelligence.

"Alright, then watch my cues when the time comes." Ye Shikai hesitated for a long time, coming up with a compromise.

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

"Mr. Ye, thank you for waiting." In a high-end coffee shop in Yanjing, Ye Shikai sat quietly, waiting. Five minutes later, a man in black slowly walked to his side.

"Demon exorcist, you actually dared to come," Ye Shikai said casually.

"Mr. Ye, the demon exorcist is just a nickname; you can call me De, it's more personable." Ye Shikai looked at the demon exorcist, whose voice seemed weak, and even his movements were shaky.

"First, I don't wish to get close to you; second, what I call you appears to be my prerogative, right?"

"Haha, Mr. Ye, let's get straight to the point." Demon exorcist sat across from Ye Shikai, "You probably want to know why I sought you."

"If you have rubbish, spill it." Ye Shikai said impatiently.

"You probably want to catch Boss Xing and Mothman." Demon exorcist spoke shockingly; Ye Shikai's hand suddenly stopped.

"Yesterday, my colleague was injured; this... is related to you, right?" Ye Shikai didn't directly answer, instead asking another question.

"She was knocked out by Boss Xing. Actually, I wished to save Officer Zhang then, but they injured me." Just as the demon exorcist finished speaking, Ye Shikai seemed struck by lightning, "How did you get injured."

"Of course, by Mothman, four of them." Demon exorcist sighed, speaking softly.

"What's your relationship with Master Xing, what do you know about the HST project."
