The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

Chapter 842: De's Intentions



"Those who gain the Dao receive much support." Tianjing said with a smile. Netherworld Palace has so many warriors and experts, with professional talents in various fields. Abroad, especially in Europe, they have even greater influential resources. Moreover, now the entire National Security Bureau also understands that Ye Shikai can fully represent and completely control Netherworld Palace. In other words, whoever Ye Shikai wants Netherworld Palace to attack, Netherworld Palace will attack. From a public standpoint, he is the instructor of the Dragon Teeth Special Forces and stands with Huaxia. Personally, Su Qingyu is a businesswoman in Yanjing, living and investing here. As her husband, Ye Shikai will definitely integrate into Yanjing and not have any other thoughts. Therefore, Tianjing is eager to gain Ye Shikai's help and even more eager to obtain the support of Netherworld Palace.

"I remember that your line of work is most averse to underground influences." Ye Shikai "mocked."

"Times change." Tianjing said faintly. Netherworld Palace is such a coveted asset, it would be better to keep it in Yanjing for own use, rather than letting it return abroad.

"I can convey your thoughts to my people." Ye Shikai tactfully declined. The people of Netherworld Palace, except for Ye Shikai, have no attachment to Yanjing. They're used to their carefree lifestyle abroad, so expecting them to stay in Yanjing is tantamount to a rejection.

"I've already reported today's operation and Netherworld Palace's performance to the National Security Bureau. They're quite satisfied."

"Cough cough, okay, that's enough for now. I've arranged to return the equipment we took from you, and I have other matters to attend to, so I won't be joining you further." Ye Shikai took a long drag of his cigarette, then turned and left.

"You should really consider my suggestion." Tianjing shouted loudly, but Ye Shikai didn't turn his head and just waved his hand over his head.

National Security Bureau, prison.

"You're living quite leisurely, I see." Ye Shikai looked at the man in front of him, sitting with his legs crossed and leisurely reading a newspaper, and said with a faint smile.

"It looks like your operation was successful, but... you probably didn't catch Boss Xing." De placed the newspaper on the table, looking as if prison life was not only comfortable for him but more like a vacation.

"How do you know?" Ye Shikai was initially taken aback, but then he told the truth.

"If you had caught Boss Xing, you wouldn't have this look on your face." The demon exorcist said with a smile.

"The intelligence you provided was correct. All twelve areas have been cleared. A total of eleven Mothmen were eliminated, but one got away." Ye Shikai poured himself a glass of water, took a small glass bottle from his pocket, and handed it to De. "This is what you wanted; see if it's right."

"Thank you, this is exactly what I wanted." De glanced at the glass bottle, opened the lid, sniffed lightly, and nodded slightly before placing it back on the table.

What Ye Shikai brought was the antidote for the third generation of the HST serum, enough for a ten-year supply, which was De's reward for providing intelligence. Besides the bottle Ye Shikai had, more had been confiscated by the National Security Bureau and stored in the lab.

"A fair trade."

"Actually, I already expected that you wouldn't catch Boss Xing." De suddenly said, catching Ye Shikai off guard. How could he be so sure?

"No need to look at me like that. I understand Boss Xing better than you do." De suddenly laughed. "A cautious person like him would certainly have Mothmen by his side. With Mothmen around, you cannot capture him."

"You predicted everything correctly." Ye Shikai smiled bitterly, looked at the bottle on the table, and said faintly, "Aren't you worried I won't bring you the medicine? Without it, by tomorrow you'll be..." Ye Shikai made a slashing motion across his neck with his hand.

"Haha, if I were worried about that, I wouldn't have given you the intelligence in the first place."

"I see." Ye Shikai suddenly smiled. If Boss Xing isn't caught, then De still has value; the National Security Bureau wouldn't dispose of him, otherwise it would be "cutting off its arm," and Boss Xing probably won't be caught then.

And the key is that De had long anticipated that Boss Xing wouldn't be caught in this operation, so he had no concerns for his safety.

Clever calculations indeed.

"Rest assured, I won't leave until Boss Xing is captured." De said with a faint smile.

"Of course, if you leave now, you'd fear Boss Xing's revenge." Ye Shikai knew how De thought: if he left like this, Boss Xing would surely resent and retaliate, so only by working with the National Security Bureau to eliminate Boss Xing could he safely leave.

"Of course, I've ruined his plans, and now he probably wants to tear me apart."

"Probably what Boss Xing regrets most is allowing you, as the third-generation HST project subject, to retain cognitive awareness. Otherwise, these issues wouldn't have arisen." Ye Shikai teased, though De's situation was a fluke; the loss of twelve research bases was significant enough to hurt Boss Xing.

....................................…

"You're finally back." After finishing his work, Ye Shikai hurriedly returned home. These days, he's been preoccupied with the cases, neglecting Su Qingyu. The last turbulence in Europe still lingered in his mind. Upon reaching home, he found Su Qingyu cooking in the kitchen, and she warmly greeted him when she saw him return.

"The case is over, so I'm back." Ye Shikai lay down on the sofa, feeling at home, physically and mentally exhausted, ready to rest.

"What is it? You seem to be in a good mood." Ye Shikai looked up to see Su Qingyu smiling with joy on her face.

"By the way, I received some documents today. Take a look." Su Qingyu handed over a folder. It was a contract. Ye Shikai was puzzled why Su Qingyu showed him something related to business.

"Why are you giving me this?" Ye Shikai asked curiously.

"Just take a look, and you'll understand." Su Qingyu acted mysteriously, urging Ye Shikai to open it.

However, as Ye Shikai flipped to the first page, his hands suddenly stopped. It was a cooperation agreement, and the company on the other side was Chen Group. Wasn't that Chen Yuxin's group? Why would she invite Su Qingyu to cooperate? Surely, she knew Su Qingyu was his wife.

As he thought about it, Ye Shikai suddenly felt a pang of sadness. Once so close, now they only guessed and tested each other.
