The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

"What, you don't dare to accept it, do you?" Ye Shikai walked up to Luo Shiqi and questioned Wang Hu, while also feeling amused. He glanced around at those "bigwigs" who usually act so arrogantly, yet now didn't even dare to utter a word. Perhaps they were wary of Luo Shiqi, or maybe, they feared Ye Shikai's "behind-the-scenes strength".

"Of course, since Ye has said so, to demonstrate my loyalty, I accept this proposal." Wang Hu replied reluctantly. If he were to bargain at this moment, it would appear as though everything before was deliberately done. Initially planning to take advantage and counterattack Luo Shiqi, he didn't expect to encounter Ye Shikai halfway through, inadvertently leading to his own downfall. This bitter fruit, he could only swallow himself.

Wang Hu wasn't foolish enough to offer the entire industrial sector of East City as a gamble, showing he had enough confidence to provide Luo Shiqi "an explanation". Indeed, since this conflict between the two parties was orchestrated by him, twisting black and white wasn't difficult. Wang Hu certainly had a way to resolve this, but Ye Shikai's target wasn't his East City industry. As they say, when a rabbit is cornered, it bites. If forced upon, Wang Hu might lash out desperately. Ye Shikai planned to use a slow cooking frog strategy, gradually consuming Wang Hu.

After all, behind Wang Hu stood the Wang Family, a super dynasty from Yanjing, impossible to gobble up in one bite.

"Very good, Wang, I admire you." Ye Shikai continued smoothly, since Wang Hu was shamelessly calling him brother, Ye Shikai wouldn't "betray" this sentiment.

Often born enemies always greet each other with smiles when meeting.

"Also, I'd like to ask everyone to be my witness. I, Wang Hu, will do as I say."

"Good."

"Good."

"How about it, Miss Luo, are you satisfied with this?" Wang Hu turned to Luo Shiqi at the center, bowing slightly. Ye Shikai bet that Wang Hu's heart was about to burst with anger, clearly wishing he could rush up and eliminate her, yet he still had to act gallantly.

"Alright, since Wang sincerely offers, I'll trust it." Luo Shiqi exchanged a glance with Ye Shikai and nodded slightly. As long as Ye Shikai took the lead, she only needed to watch the show from the sidelines.

"Ahem, Miss Luo, since this is settled, it couldn't be better. After all, unity between us is most important, all misunderstandings can pass." At this moment, another man stepped forward, timely acting as a mediator to ease relations. Underworld meetings were no ordinary business negotiations; a single mistake could lead to unfortunate events. Others also chimed in, signaling both to value peace.

In reality, the conflict between Luo Shiqi and Wang Hu wasn't new; Ye Shikai had heard about it before, but never addressed it. Now it seemed time to handle it properly...

Luo Group, Chairman's office.

"How did I do today, pretty well, right?" Ye Shikai lounged in the boss's chair, a pair of delicate hands massaging his shoulders. The owner of those hands was, of course, Luo Shiqi. Enjoying the warmth, tasting red wine, with a captivating beauty serving him—this was a man's ultimate life goal. Especially when served by the queen of the Yanjing Underworld.

"Just average, if you had directly taken Wang Hu's East City industry at the meeting, I would have been more satisfied." Luo Shiqi smiled charmingly, which was "the most lethal poison" for any man.

"You think Wang Hu would be foolish enough to hand those industries over?" Ye Shikai scooted forward leisurely.

"Of course, he's an old fox. My people have stalked and investigated for so long without finding a single flaw."

"What I did was just a delaying tactic." Ye Shikai sighed, "Shiqi, you know Wang Hu is from the Wang Family, but do you know who Wang Qian is?"

"Certainly, she's an even more dangerous woman." Luo Shiqi said grimly, "Compared to her, Wang Family's younger generation pales. If she weren't a woman, she'd definitely be the future head of the Wang Family." Luo Shiqi's high regard for Wang Qian wasn't beyond Ye Shikai's expectations. In terms of strategy, she's abundant and ruthless; in background, Wang Family is one of the four great families. Most crucially, Wang Qian lacks competitors; Wang Hai is a spoiled rich kid, and other branch family members are on par with him. The timing, location, and people are right.

"I believe even if she's a woman, she'd still be the Wang Family's heir." Ye Shikai added lightly.

"I imagine Wang Hu's expansion into the Underworld is also Wang Qian's intent. Wang Hu, to put it bluntly, is merely Wang Qian's pawn. Underworld expansion is her capital for competing for Family Head, so Wang Hu is just a puppet, still beholden to Wang Qian's orders." Ye Shikai analyzed.

"You're quite right."

"So, to thoroughly defeat Wang Hu, you must first deal with Wang Qian."

"Wang Group's financial power is formidable, might not be so easy to move." Luo Shiqi's face showed heavy concern, brows furrowed.

"Certainly not swallowing it entirely, I've met Wang Qian a few times. Though she's very shrewd, she still can't shake that aristocratic arrogance." Ye Shikai spoke somewhat vaguely, and Luo Shiqi seemed slightly bewildered.

"Wang Qian once tried to match Wang Hai with Qingyu, but surely Qingyu wouldn't choose that spoiled rich kid." Ye Shikai spoke with some delight.

"Though love is free, I bet Wang Qian wouldn't agree. Big families value face, and Qingyu's actions surely slapped Wang's face hard." Ye Shikai continued.

"So, Qingyu sold some shares to Chen Group, didn't she?" Luo Shiqi nodded and responded.

"How do you know this?" Ye Shikai was first stunned, then curiously asked.

"Of course Qingyu told me. She did this to find a backer for Tianya Group."

"I hope so." Speaking of Chen Group, Ye Shikai suddenly felt an inexplicable unease. Buying Tianya Group shares and becoming one of its shareholders naturally required Chen Yuxin's consent, but why did she agree?

"Looks like in these three days, I need to visit Wang Qian." Luo Shiqi showed a cunning smile; Wang Hu had to "twist black and white" in three days, and she naturally wouldn't idle.

"I'll accompany you."
