The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

Camping Mountain Base.

"Qingqing, you're back, this is great." Early in the morning, the Camping Mountain was crowded with people, including students from Yanjing University, police who came to search the mountains, and some rescue teams. Initially, those students planned to go down the mountain together to find people, but they were stopped by Han Ruoyao. It's better not to find people and end up losing themselves. Looking for people in such a forest, it's easy to lose direction and get lost.

The police searched overnight without any progress. This is understandable, after all, the forest is so vast; searching for a person is like finding a needle in a haystack.

At dawn, Su Ziqing was brought back by a mysterious woman in white gauze and several burly men in black, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Han Ruoyao was even more excited, hugging tightly.

"Alright, she's now terrified. Take her to the camp's guesthouse to rest." At this moment, Wuyan, who had been silently following Su Ziqing, spoke. Her voice was clear and penetrating through the noisy crowd, which made Han Ruoyao finally notice this "strangely dressed" beautiful woman.

"Qingqing, where's Uncle, and Mrs. Dongfang?" In the lounge, Han Ruoyao couldn't see the other two figures and asked curiously.

"Yaoyao, I have something to tell you, but you must keep it a secret." Suddenly, Su Ziqing said seriously, looking a bit nervous and frightened. Han Ruoyao immediately realized the severity of the situation, sat on the bed, comforting Su Ziqing while listening seriously.

Su Ziqing revealed everything. Afraid that others might hear, she spoke in a low voice, but her words were like thunderclaps in Han Ruoyao's mind. Even with her usual quirkiness, she couldn't connect Dongfang Lian with that kind of cold-blooded assassin, and never expected that all of this was Dongfang Lian's conspiracy.

"Qingqing, is what you said true?" Han Ruoyao's face was solemn, but she knew Su Ziqing wouldn't joke about such things.

"Yes."

"No, I have to tell my dad about this quickly," Han Ruoyao suddenly said, picking up the phone, wanting to call Han Jiang.

"I suggest you don't," Wuyan came in from outside at this time. Han Ruoyao looked at the woman in front of her and instinctively felt a sense of danger. This woman was very dangerous. If she knew this woman was only eighteen, she didn't know what she would think. However, Wuyan didn't seem like an eighteen-year-old.

In Ye Shikai's words, it would be age eighteen, temperament twenty-eight, and mind thirty-eight.

"Who are you?" Han Ruoyao forced herself to appear brave, retorting without a trace of fear.

"Qingqing, this is Sister Wuyan, a friend of my brother-in-law. It was thanks to her that we and my brother-in-law were saved this time," Su Ziqing said, tugging on Han Ruoyao's sleeve.

"Oh, I see, then okay," Han Ruoyao's hostility lessened a bit upon hearing this.

"You must be the daughter of the chief of Yanjing Police Bureau, right? I advise against it," Wuyan said without a trace of compromise; she had no interest in arguing with Han Ruoyao.

"Why?"

"If you tell your dad like this, it's basically equivalent to reporting to the National Security Bureau," Wuyan said bluntly. She was right. If they mentioned anything about cultivators, Han Jiang would surely report it to Jin Li, and then the National Security Bureau would definitely send people over.

Wuyan worried that people from the Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple would be implicated, and matters concerning the Underworld should be handled by themselves.

Moreover, if the National Security Bureau used this matter, it might not be favorable for Ye Shikai; she didn't care about anyone else's life and death, only Ye Shikai.

"But Uncle is still in danger. What if something happens if we don't call for help?" Han Ruoyao retorted.

"Hmph, I've already called for help long ago," Wuyan said lightly, "It seems you don't quite understand him yet."

"You..."

"Yaoyao, listen to her. Sister Wuyan naturally has her reasons," Su Ziqing also said, surprising Han Ruoyao, as Su Ziqing actually spoke up for Wuyan.

"Hmph, alright then."

"That's wise of you," Wuyan's lips curved into a proud smile.

Yanjing, Camping Mountain

"Dongfang Lian, are you really going to be unreasonable?" Meanwhile, in a cave at Camping Mountain, Ye Shikai was exasperated.

"If I were unreasonable, I would have fought you already."

"I assure you, my subordinates would never lie. Since he didn't kill your dad, it definitely wasn't us."

"Then show me the evidence. If you help me find out who killed my father, I promise not to bother you anymore," Dongfang Lian said resolutely.

"What, you're just making us take the blame," Ye Shikai said excitedly upon hearing this. What she meant was that if the Netherworld Palace didn't help her find the killer, then they would surely take the blame. Yet, incidents from two years ago, who would still have records, let alone find the killer? In the Underworld, it's a life of licking blood off blades; today you might be alive, tomorrow there might not even be a trace left. Who can guarantee that the 'real murderer' is still alive, for all they know, they might already be dead.

"Without evidence, you're the biggest suspect, and I swear I'll fight you to the death," Dongfang Lian said, pulling out a dagger and threatening him viciously.

"Alright, alright, I'm just unlucky. I'll help you find them, okay?" Ye Shikai reluctantly agreed.

"Then you agree, right?"

"Of course."

"Swear it."

"You... don't push it too far."

"Swear it. I won't say it again," Dongfang Lian threatened, holding the dagger to his throat.

"Fine, I swear by the name of Hades, the Netherworld King, that neither I nor any brother of the Netherworld Palace has harmed your father, and I will help you find the culprit. Is that enough for you?" Ye Shikai said word by word, hoping this would finally put Dongfang Lian at ease.

"Fine, remember your promise today," Dongfang Lian was about to leave when Ye Shikai stopped her.

"Hey, where are you going?" Ye Shikai suddenly shouted. With so many men in black, Dongfang Lian couldn't possibly stay in Yanjing, not even in Huaxia.

"Going back abroad to rebuild power."

"You silly girl, aren't you afraid I'll back out now that you're not in Yanjing?" Ye Shikai laughed.

"You... you dare, I hate dishonest men the most."

"How about this, you continue teaching at Yanjing University. Your people can stay at my base until the killer is found. By then, whether you stay or go, I won't stop you."
