The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

It seems that in the future, if a beautiful woman offers to add you on WeChat, you shouldn't foolishly hand over your phone. Danger often hides behind beauty...

"Now you realize this? Don't you think it's too late? I'm going to send you both to hell right now." Dongfang Lian moved swiftly, charging forward with a dagger, while Ye Shikai stepped back, the blade grazing his nose.

So fast.

The next second, a jade-like hand suddenly reached out, grabbing Dongfang Lian's wrist. Upon closer inspection, wasn't it Wuyan?

"You want to hurt him? Did you ask my permission?" As soon as Wuyan finished speaking, she twisted her wrist, several silver needles suddenly protruding from her fingers, aiming for the acupoints on Dongfang Lian's arm. However, it seemed that Dongfang Lian had already perceived her moves. With a step back, Dongfang Lian dodged as Wuyan leaped up and shot the needles. Dongfang Lian sidestepped, and the needles shot straight into several men in black behind her. Coated with deadly poison, the ones hit fell instantly, lifeless.

"I didn't expect someone so formidable by his side. Who exactly are you?" Dongfang Lian questioned coldly.

"Yun City, Sect Leader of the Worm Sect."

"What, Worm Sect? Why are you here?" Dongfang Lian's expression changed, seemingly astonished by Wuyan's arrival. Indeed, she had planned extensively, yet had not anticipated Wuyan's timely intervention. What she couldn't have foreseen was that all of this had been divined by Dugu Tianke.

Could it be that there really exists a divine fortune teller capable of predicting everything in this world...

"Still asking why? You talk too much."

"All of you, attack!" Although Dongfang Lian was highly skilled, she hadn't anticipated that Wuyan was not only proficient in worm skills but also in combat arts, neither falling behind. Frustrated, she immediately ordered her subordinates to encircle the two.

"Watch out, Wuyan." Ye Shikai gripped his sword, charging forward to strike down the two in front. Unexpectedly, countless assassins poured toward him after he dispatched those two. Concerned that Wuyan might get hurt by Dongfang Lian, he wanted to rush over and join her. But confronted with these foes swarming like flies, Ye Shikai became consumed with killing. If what Dongfang Lian said were true, then Ye Shikai would indeed be the enemy that killed her father. However, he truly couldn't remember, perhaps something done by the subordinates of the Netherworld Palace, which led Dongfang Lian to harbor a grudge against Ye Shikai. She gathered former associates to form this "Death Soldier Legion," lurking in Yanjing, always ready for revenge. If so calculated, then when Ye Shikai returned to Huaxia half a year ago to marry Su Qingyu, she had already set her eyes on them. Yet, for half a year, she hadn't attempted an assassination, instead waiting patiently at Yanjing University until she seized this chance for revenge.

What speaks to a gentleman's revenge not being too late even after ten years? Dongfang Lian could endure—it was essential not to appear before Ye Shikai prematurely; otherwise, it would arouse suspicion.

In his frenzy, Ye Shikai focused solely on attacking, momentarily neglecting defense, resulting in several wounds. However, his fierce assault instilled some fear among the death soldiers. In Ye Shikai's hands, the sharp sword seemed like a razor-sharp electric saw, capable of bisecting both shield and person, becoming a veritable god of slaughter. As the killing continued, Ye Shikai's eyes began to turn blood-red, his consciousness starting to blur.

"You brat, calm down." At this point, the voice of the sword soul echoed, resonating like a bell, snapping the frenzied Ye Shikai back to sanity. Urban life had temporarily "put to sleep" his second personality. The second personality, essentially, was akin to split personality disorder, a type of mental illness—the best way to control it was to maintain composure. Should Ye Shikai return to the days of constant fighting, where swords licked blood, it wouldn't take three months before the second personality would fully dominate his body.

"That was close, he almost came up." said the sword soul, referring, of course, to the second personality. Essentially, the second personality is also part of Ye Shikai's body, something the sword soul couldn't suppress.

Ye Shikai retrieved two tear gas grenades from the Storage Ring, hurling them to the ground. In an instant, the forest was engulfed in suffocating tear gas. This tear gas was unlike the usual canisters; its fumes couldn't be resisted even by cultivators.

"Let's go." Ye Shikai grabbed Wuyan's hand in the smoke, and together, they escaped the crowd.

"Quick, take me to find Qingqing."

"Alright, follow me."

Ye Shikai took out his phone from his pocket and threw it towards the nearby river. The phone would be carried downstream by the current, making it impossible for Dongfang Lian to track him down.

.....................…

"Qingqing, are you alright?" Upon reaching a cave, Ye Shikai saw Su Ziqing shivering in a corner. Being left alone, she was still quite scared.

"Brother-in-law, are you guys okay?"

"Don't worry, we're leaving now." Ye Shikai certainly didn't want Su Ziqing to endure this fear any longer. Too much had happened tonight, and with daylight breaking, they wouldn't need to worry as long as help was on the way.

"Come with me, I remember the way." Wuyan took the initiative to lead them, which was best under the circumstances. The most urgent task was to escape quickly. Wuyan released Spiritual Bees for reconnaissance, allowing them to gain insight into the opponent's whereabouts. Ye Shikai carried Su Ziqing as the three hurriedly charged in the direction Wuyan pointed.

"Wuyan, have they detected us?" Ye Shikai asked curiously an hour later. The three had run ten kilometers, so the opponent shouldn't catch up anytime soon.

"No, rest assured. They are still at the original spot," Wuyan replied, using the Spiritual Bees' reconnaissance to keep tabs on the enemy's movements.

"Strange, why is there still no signal?" Ye Shikai took out his backup phone, which was only a wristwatch phone. While at the Worm Sect, Wuyan had confiscated his phone, so he had used it once for outside communication. Unlike the tracked phone, this wristwatch was "clean" enough.

"Because I still found you." Suddenly, a cold voice echoed from ahead. The three turned to see Dongfang Lian slowly approaching.

"What, how is that possible?" Wuyan was the most shocked. Why had Dongfang Lian avoided detection by the Spiritual Bees?

"Hmph, your little bugs are indeed interesting." Dongfang Lian seemed to have seen through Wuyan's thoughts, throwing a small pouch onto the ground, revealing the corpses of a dozen Spiritual Bees. Clearly, these "scouts" had been discovered by Dongfang Lian before they could even report back.

"Mrs. Dongfang, are you okay?" Su Ziqing was still unaware of the conspiracy masterminded by the "kind-hearted" teacher in front of her, relieved to see Dongfang Lian unharmed.
