The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife-Chapter 1221: Restoring the Truth

No one knows what Ye Shikai thought when he announced the withdrawal of most of the Netherworld Palace personnel back to headquarters. For most of the personnel who came from the Netherworld Palace headquarters, this was just a work trip to Huaxia. However, for Ye Shikai, who has been back in Huaxia for a year, this has been an unforgettable experience. The events of this year are more unforgettable than all the years he spent in Europe combined.

Of course, now that he has married Chen Yuxin, he is destined to stay in Yanjing, with many things weighing on his mind. This is also why he has been selecting potential successors within the Netherworld Palace.

Thump, thump, thump.

"My guests have arrived," Ye Shikai murmured, standing up from the chair on the balcony and turning to go downstairs. Ji Qian and Soul Destroyer followed him down as well. The location provided by Zheng Ji was extremely secretive, chosen as the command base for the Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple, and generally, no one would visit unless... Ye Shikai had disclosed the location.

"Lord Ghost."

"Lord Ghost."

Before reaching downstairs, Ye Shikai heard several Hidden Guards respectfully addressing Ghost. Indeed, the guest he was waiting for was Ghost.

"Boss, long time no see."

These long-awaited words almost brought tears to Ye Shikai’s eyes, who usually disliked sentimentality. The twists and turns of this incident could be written into a movie script.

"Brother, you finally came back." The two embraced each other, and Ye Shikai invited Ghost to sit down.

"Haha, Ghost, I knew you were alright." Soul Destroyer and Demoness also called out excitedly when they saw Ghost.

"Everyone, so many things happened this time. I’ve caused trouble for the Netherworld Palace." Ghost seemed to already know the various events that the Netherworld Palace experienced during this time, from Ji Qian leading the team into Bai Mountain and barely escaping with their lives, to their experiences in the East Sea and with the Zheng Family, the losses were substantial for the Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple.

"How’s your sister-in-law?" Previously, when Ghost had not recovered his memory, Ye Shikai dared not presumptuously call him brother, but now that he had, Ye Shikai could directly call Gu Xin "sister-in-law." At least for now, everyone praised Gu Xin highly, and if nothing unexpected happened, Ghost and Gu Xin should get married soon.

"Xin’er is doing well, but... I haven’t told her about the memory recovery." Ghost spoke hesitantly; the experiences before and after the amnesia were so vastly different, like "water" and "fire," mutually exclusive. On one hand, there’s the "Think Tank" maneuvering in the Underworld, and on the other, there’s a young man living a quiet life as a hospital security guard in the East Sea—two completely different personas. Honestly, Ghost, after regaining his memory, took a long time to come to terms with "reality."

"So be it; I think it’s better not to let her know." Ye Shikai murmured.

Suddenly, everyone fell into silence. For some reason, after a month or two apart, they no longer had common topics to discuss. Maybe it’s because no one wanted to bring up "one subject."

"What do you think, have you made up your mind?" Finally, this topic was brought up by Ye Shikai, and everyone’s heart tightened as they all focused on Ghost, waiting for his answer.

"Boss." Suddenly, Ghost kneeled down on one knee, with his arm across his chest; this was the gesture of salute from the Netherworld Palace. However, at this moment, the usually strong Ghost started choking with emotion.

"Boss, I let down the Netherworld Palace." Ghost choked out. He knew the importance of his role within the Netherworld Palace and was keenly aware of the loss his departure had caused. All the efforts everyone made since he lost his memory came to nothing.

"Alright, get up." Ye Shikai personally helped him up. Honestly, he never expected everyone to follow him blindly and loyally. If they could lend him a hand in times of trouble, they were brothers and benefactors. Likewise, Ye Shikai and the others helped Ghost recover his memory not to bind him to serve this organization, but out of friendship.

"Actually...we had already thought about it," Ye Shikai comforted.

"Ghost, you’re our brother. Honestly, we’re all really happy for you and your sister-in-law." Soul Destroyer chimed in, "Just don’t forget to invite us to the wedding."

"That’s right, I’ll definitely bring a big gift then." Demoness added.

Everyone spoke one after the other, and the atmosphere finally relaxed a lot. Although Ghost intended to live with Gu Xin in East Sea, now that he had regained his memory, Ye Shikai could obtain a lot of answers from him.

"Ghost, do you remember what actually happened back at the rental when things went wrong?" Ye Shikai raised a question that baffled everyone. In that situation back then, besides Ghost, there were over twenty Moon Guards. Even if attacked, it shouldn’t have resulted in everyone meeting their doom, right? Ji Qian also focused intensely, as the Moon Guards were under her command.

"Oh... I remember everything now." Ghost gritted his teeth, recalling with some difficulty. Suddenly, he cried out, clapping his hands on the table.

"Among the twenty Moon Guards executing the mission back then, someone betrayed us." Ghost made a shocking statement, which genuinely surprised Ji Qian.

"What? There was a traitor among the Moon Guards?"

"Yes, yes, and not just one. There might have been... seven or eight." Ghost seemed to find this piece of memory a little blurry.

Among twenty people, seven or eight were traitors. Everyone exchanged glances, no wonder... Even Ghost would get caught off guard. Imagine half of your subordinates being undercover agents who might turn on you at any moment; it’s truly terrifying. If Ghost hadn’t been alert back then to notice something was amiss, it might not have just resulted in amnesia.

"We fought amidst the chaos in the rental, and then... the incident happened." Ghost couldn’t recall some details, but everyone understood the general situation.

Ji Qian’s face was grim, and everyone could vaguely sense her growing anger. If not for Ye Shikai and the Netherworld Palace members present, but rather Selena, Ji Qian would have probably exploded in anger.

The Moon Guards were her elite confidants. Yet among the twenty Moon Guards who acted with Ghost, half turned out to be traitors. Naturally, Ji Qian was furious. Of course, perhaps the forces behind it arranged this deliberately to deal with Ghost, but who could guarantee there were no traitors within the current Moon Guard squad?

The most critical point, regarding the truth that Ji Qian found herself culpable for inadvertently, was if there hadn’t been traitors among the Moon Guards, Ghost wouldn’t have been injured and lost his memory.
