The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

Moving forward, Ye Shikai could clearly hear the situation inside, with people screaming in agony and sounds similar to beasts' roars. At the end of the passage, it seemed like the Netherworld Hell.

Ye Shikai hurried to keep up; this might very well be their most hidden hideout, and he had to be cautious.

"Damn, it can't be." When Ye Shikai reached the end and saw the situation inside, even he, who had walked the edge of life and death for many years and considered himself used to big scenes, felt a sudden tremor in his heart. In each isolated ward, people were tied to beds, groaning in pain. There were strong men and women dressed in office attire. Roughly estimated, there were twenty to thirty people, all subjects of the HST project. A surge of anger welled up in Ye Shikai's heart—these heartless beasts.

Outside the wards were guards, fully armed, vigilantly watching their surroundings. They all wore hazmat suits, and a few people—probably researchers—were gathered together, seemingly discussing something.

"Where is Boss Xing? Why can't I see him?" Ye Shikai's biggest concern was Boss Xing, who had never appeared. Could it be that this isn't the central base of HST? What should he do? If he acted now, would it alert them? If he didn't act, would he miss a great opportunity?

"Damn it." Ye Shikai wandered nearby again, still not seeing any sign of Boss Xing. There was a total of five basement floors, so Boss Xing's room could be on another floor. However, Ye Shikai clearly didn't have time to check each one. Not to mention that the Inner Strength he needed to remain invisible was almost depleting him.

Ye Shikai suddenly thought of a good idea. If he did something here to cause a commotion, wouldn't that draw Boss Xing out? In this situation, just a slight breeze would make everyone tense. If he was afraid of startling them, then why not lure the snake out of its hole?

Ye Shikai looked around at the machines, took a small stone from his Storage Ring, and threw it forcefully at a machine. The metallic clink was sharp and clear, especially noticeable in the quiet environment. A few guards rushed over immediately, but they obviously couldn't see Ye Shikai. Only emptiness greeted them.

"Huh, it's really strange. I clearly heard something." said one guard.

"Yeah, I heard it too."

"Could we have heard wrong?"

Thud.

At this moment, the elevator door slowly opened in the distance, and a man walked out. Ye Shikai instinctively turned his head, a look of surprise gradually appearing on his face. It was none other than the "hard-to-find" Boss Xing.

"What's going on?" Boss Xing, wearing a black mask, said. The guards immediately lined up and stood at attention upon seeing the boss.

"Boss, we heard some noise and came to check, but nothing happened," a guard said nervously.

"Be more vigilant, no slacking off, don't let any noise slip through."

"Yes, boss."

Ye Shikai covered his mouth, suppressing his excitement. De's information was really accurate. Now, let's see where you can run.

Hiding in a corner, Ye Shikai took out his phone and sent out a text message simultaneously to all four parties: the National Security Bureau, Netherworld Palace, SWAT team, and Dragon Teeth Special Forces. Especially the members of the Netherworld Palace—they were already waiting outside. As soon as he gave the order, they would rush in. Almost the moment the message was sent, the alarms in the base blared to life, and the red warning lights flashed wildly. Boss Xing and the guards immediately tensed up.

"What's happening?" Boss Xing looked around, furious. It truly was like the saying: the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.

"Report, a group of unidentified people have forcibly entered our base," a guard hurriedly reported.

"Useless, block them!" Boss Xing roared in anger.

"They... they're all top cultivators; we can't hold them off."

"Useless." Boss Xing drew a long blade and swung it forcefully, killing the guard.

"I think the real useless one is you." At that moment, a cold voice rang out. Ye Shikai took off the Netherworld King's Helmet and slowly revealed himself. Boss Xing trembled, clearly startled.

"How did you get in here?"

"I have to thank your staff for that," Ye Shikai said with a cold smile. A guard opened fire on Ye Shikai instantly, but it was too late. With a gun taken out from his Storage Ring and a few Instant Steps, Ye Shikai easily eliminated them. Ordinary people against a cultivator—it's truly not a fair fight.

"Mr. Ye, I never expected you'd actually dare to break in," Boss Xing said coldly, glaring at him.

"To tell you the truth, your base is already done for. I wonder how you'll explain this to your master," Ye Shikai said with a proud smile. He said it intentionally, believing there was a mastermind behind Boss Xing. He wanted to probe out the "person" behind him.

"Mr. Ye, I'll give you one last piece of advice: stop meddling in matters that don't concern you, or you'll face consequences you can't afford."

"Well, then I must give it a try," Ye Shikai retorted with a cold laugh. "My people are coming soon. If you're wise, surrender now."

Before Ye Shikai could finish, Boss Xing swung a slash down directly. Ye Shikai quickly drew his metallic sword to intercept, making a perfect block. Ye Shikai vaguely felt a pressure—Boss Xing's Inner Strength had unexpectedly increased since their last encounter, which was beyond Ye Shikai's expectations. It seemed a fierce battle was inevitable.

"Master, I'll assist you," came a voice as a figure flashed by, a white light crossing Ye Shikai's eyes. It was Poisonous Concubine. While parrying, Ye Shikai thought about retreating—not because he couldn't win, but because he needed to hold off two people now.

"Master, you should retreat first. Leave this to me," Poisonous Concubine said firmly, holding a dagger. Boss Xing nodded and pressed a button, revealing a hidden door in the wall.

Bang.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the elevator, and several figures rushed out. Ye Shikai took a closer look—it was Nightmare, Jeddon, and others.

"Sir, we're here."

"Stop him for me," Ye Shikai shouted loudly. Boss Xing couldn't hesitate either. Faced with an attack from several experts, he couldn't hold them off, so he hurried into the hidden door. Ye Shikai wanted to pursue, but Poisonous Concubine blocked his path.

"Your opponent is me."

"Get out of my way." Anxious, Ye Shikai unleashed immense Inner Strength, forming a shockwave that blasted Poisonous Concubine away, slamming her heavily into the wall.
