The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife-Chapter 1228: Not Allowed to Meet

"This..." Soul Destroyer and Demoness looked at each other, actually, they had tried to contact Ye Shikai, but the perplexing thing was that although he was perfectly fine upon returning from the East Sea, as soon as he arrived in Huaxia, Ye Shikai seemed to have vanished into thin air, unable to be reached by phone or seen in person.

Since marrying Chen Yuxin, Ye Shikai had been living in the Chen family’s residence. The downside was that if the Chen family did not permit entry, they had no way of seeing Ye Shikai.

"What’s going on with you two? Have you met the Master or not?" Short-nosed Crocodile was puzzled. Had Ye Shikai truly gone missing?

"To be frank, we haven’t seen the Boss in the past two days either, but... given that he’s at the Chen family, if we insist on seeing him because of our identity, it might lead to a conflict with the Chen family, which wouldn’t be good." Soul Destroyer understood that in Yanjing, the identity of the Netherworld Palace was a "gray" area; they must act discreetly. Suffice it to say, the Hidden Guards and Moon Guards in Yanjing never have holidays, and even supplies are procured and transported back by designated personnel to minimize public appearances, acting low-key.

"How can it be like this?" Short-nosed Crocodile was astonished upon hearing this, unable to reach the owner of the Netherworld Palace—wasn’t this absurd?

"After all, this is Yanjing; generally, nothing goes wrong here, and another point is that the Boss hasn’t come out since returning to the Chen family."

"Even so, that’s not acceptable; we must contact the Master quickly."

"Alright then, let’s prepare, take a few people, and head to the Chen family’s residence immediately." Soul Destroyer nodded, turning to instruct Demoness, "You stay here; the heads of various sub-bases are arriving one after another, and someone must manage the base."

"Fine, you all be careful." Demoness wanted to go too, but since the responsibility of the Netherworld Palace now rested on their shoulders, all affairs required their attention. Soul Destroyer had his reasons—Demoness had a straightforward character, could become irritable when things went wrong, and almost all members of the Netherworld Palace held hostility towards Chen Yuxin, so Soul Destroyer wanted to avoid a conflict between the two sides.

Calling a few close confidants, Soul Destroyer and Short-nosed Crocodile drove to the Chen family’s residence.

....................................

"Who goes there?" At the entrance of the Chen family’s residence, seeing a car approaching, a dozen security guards surrounded it, appearing ready to take action.

"Young man, please inform your Family Head; I have an urgent matter." Soul Destroyer got out of the car, speaking quite politely. Since Ye Shikai was at the Chen family’s residence, there should be no danger. Soul Destroyer believed it was a misunderstanding, and since it was just a suspicion, he didn’t want to be too aggressive with these guards. Clarifying things was the priority.

"Who are you?" Several security guards glanced at the car; perhaps because they were dressed mostly in black, Soul Destroyer’s group didn’t look like good people. Of course, they never considered themselves good people.

"Ahem, our Boss is your Family Head’s husband." Soul Destroyer quickly explained.

"Quick, go inform them." A security team leader gave a subordinate a look, motioning for everyone to wait.

"Please wait a moment."

Twenty minutes later.

"Soul Destroyer, I feel like these people are guarding against us as if we’re thieves." Short-nosed Crocodile leaned against the car door, throwing away his cigarette butt, while Soul Destroyer stood beside him smoking as well, with the Chen family’s security guards not far away, staring intently at them like wolves eyeing prey. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Nonsense, look at what we’re wearing." Soul Destroyer mocked himself; if it weren’t for a suit jacket, they’d be guarded against everywhere they went.

"Look, someone’s coming out." At this moment, Soul Destroyer pointed to the gate; sure enough, the security guard who went in to report had returned.

"So, can we go in now?" Soul Destroyer quickly asked.

"Sorry, everyone, our Family Head is handling affairs and is not seeing visitors." To everyone’s surprise, Chen Yuxin refused to see guests—could it be that they traveled all this way just to receive a closed-door rejection?

"Alright then, please leave quickly." The security guard urged again.

"Wait, please let us in for a moment; we just want to meet." Soul Destroyer sought compromise, but those guards were elite confidants carefully selected by the Chen family, trained to obey orders unconditionally. Soul Destroyer’s request was of no use.

"If you don’t leave, don’t blame us for being impolite." Some security guards, becoming impatient, waved their hands as dozens more guards rushed out from behind to encircle them.

"What do you plan to do?" This angered Short-nosed Crocodile; no one in the Netherworld Palace dared challenge him. He drew his dual daggers from his waist, standing in confrontation.

"Put the knives away." Soul Destroyer quickly said, and although Short-nosed Crocodile and the nearby Hidden Guards were displeased, they knew to obey orders.

"Soul Destroyer, how dare you." Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind the crowd; everyone turned to see Chen Yuxin arriving, with Chen Ruoya following beside her.

"Greetings, Family Head." The security guards knelt on one knee upon seeing her.

"So, Soul Destroyer, staying in the Netherworld Palace for so long, are you unaware of the hierarchy?" Chen Yuxin exuded a strong presence. Although she was a woman, her gaze was as sharp as two daggers, intimidating to the point where one dared not look directly.

"This... Greetings, Netherworld Empress." Soul Destroyer slowly knelt on one knee, placing a fist against his chest.

"Greetings, Netherworld Empress."

"Greetings, Netherworld Empress."

Short-nosed Crocodile and several Hidden Guards also knelt on one knee. Indeed, the Netherworld Palace had a strict hierarchical system to ensure execution of orders. The Netherworld King held supreme authority, followed by the Netherworld Empress. Even the four war generals of the Netherworld Palace had to heed the Empress’ commands, especially in the King’s absence.

"Alright, what do you want by coming here?" Chen Yuxin coldly questioned.

"This... We haven’t been able to contact the Boss for two days, and he hasn’t left here, so..."

"He’s fine. We have personal matters to discuss. To avoid interruption, he turned off his phone." Before Soul Destroyer finished speaking, Chen Yuxin interrupted him.

"In that case, can I take a look?" Soul Destroyer pursued the matter.

"No."

"This... Netherworld Empress, the Boss’s safety concerns the entire Netherworld Palace. Since he’s fine, I request to meet with him." Soul Destroyer wasn’t foolish; if you’ve done nothing wrong, there are no ghosts to fear. Why was Chen Yuxin preventing a meeting? Was her claim true...

"So, you intend to defy orders."
