The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife-Chapter 1229: Ghost Shadow

"This... The Boss’s safety is the foundation of the Netherworld Palace. We naturally don’t want to defy orders, but the actions of the Netherworld Empress are indeed puzzling. We just want to take a look at the Boss. If everything is well, I willingly accept any punishment without needing the Netherworld Empress to say more," Soul Destroyer said, neither arrogant nor humble, his tone very firm, seemingly leaving no room for negotiation.

"Soul Destroyer, you dare to confront the Netherworld Empress." At this moment, a reprimanding voice sounded from the side, as Jeddon entered holding the Dragon Sparrow Saber.

"Eating inside, siding with outsiders," the Short-nosed Crocodile muttered quietly.

"Since Ghost has already withdrawn from the Netherworld Palace, I hereby announce that all matters of the Netherworld Palace will be handled by Jeddon," Chen Yuxin said in front of everyone. The Netherworld Empress indeed has the power to appoint key positions in the Netherworld Palace, but only if Ye Shikai is absent. Yet now, no one can even see him.

"Soul Destroyer, are you thinking of rebelling?" Chen Yuxin coldly questioned.

"You..." Soul Destroyer was greatly angered. If the Netherworld Palace really lets Jeddon take over, it would mean falling into Chen Yuxin’s grasp. But what troubled Soul Destroyer the most was Ye Shikai’s current situation. Although Chen Yuxin confidently claimed Ye Shikai was inside the mansion, why didn’t he come out? Soul Destroyer dared not imagine it, but after all, Ye Shikai was Chen Yuxin’s husband, there shouldn’t be "life-threatening danger," Soul Destroyer could only comfort himself this way.

"Now, all of you, get out. This is an order," Chen Yuxin huffed coldly and walked away. Dozens of Chen family’s guards watched everyone vigilantly with weapons in hand. Clearly, if Soul Destroyer made a move now, the opponents would all swarm. The Chen family’s defense was strict; even Ye Shikai himself had suffered losses before, absolutely should not forcefully break in.

"Subordinate takes leave," Soul Destroyer said and angrily walked to the car.

"Soul Destroyer, what do we do now? The Boss is definitely inside, and he’s certainly facing troubles," the Short-nosed Crocodile also noticed something was amiss. Ye Shikai was not coming out, the phone couldn’t get through, the so-called explanation was just a cover-up. Chen Yuxin certainly had an untold secret.

"Let’s go back and discuss slowly," Soul Destroyer lit a cigarette and smoked, turning his head to instruct the Hidden Guard in the back seat, "Pay attention, be careful of someone tailing us."

"Yes, Lord."

Inside the Netherworld Palace base.

"What, how could it be like this?" In front of Ji Qian and Demoness, Soul Destroyer explained the whole story, and both women were furious.

"Now the Boss is inside the Chen family’s mansion, we must rescue him," Soul Destroyer declared righteously, his gaze landing on Ji Qian. He and Demoness were both warriors, brave and loyal, but lacking cunning. In terms of strategy, even combined, they couldn’t match Ji Qian. This time they asked Ji Qian to come from home, hoping she could come up with ideas.

"Lord Moon God, what should we do now?"

"Let me think carefully." Ji Qian’s expression was solemn; Chen Yuxin’s identity was not ordinary, as the head of the Chen family, young but skilled. In Yanjing’s upper society, virtually everyone had some kind of connection with the Chen family, intricate relationships like roots of a big tree deeply planted in Yanjing’s land. If Chen Yuxin were easy to deal with, the other three major families would have acted long ago, and now Ye Shikai was Chen Yuxin’s husband, which everyone knew. Ultimately, this was a private matter, and if Ji Qian acted rashly, causing a commotion, it would be "unjustified," and subject to external scrutiny and gossip.

"We only have one option now." Ji Qian slowly stood up, her gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"That’s to bring Ghost back."

"What."

"What."

Everyone lowered their heads dejectedly. Ye Shikai had just said to respect Ghost’s decision, and this was also everyone’s intention. Now only two days had passed; are they really going to find Ghost?

"Lord Moon God, finding Ghost, isn’t that inappropriate?" Demoness was somewhat troubled.

"Ghost has already regained his memory. Tell him the whole story, I’m sure he will understand," Ji Qian was also helpless. Chen Yuxin asked Jeddon to manage the Netherworld Palace largely because Ghost was not there. But if Ghost, the rightful ’Brain’ returned, then Chen Yuxin, if wishing to ’dismiss’ Ghost, must obtain Ye Shikai’s personal order.

"If that’s the case, we can only give it a try," Soul Destroyer nodded.

"Besides this, there’s one more thing I must do."

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

Europe, the Netherworld Palace.

"Greetings, Lord Nightmare." Within the palace of the Netherworld Palace, a man strode in from the entrance, approaching a white-robed young man.

"Ghost Shadow, you’re back." Lord Nightmare was looking at a map. Upon seeing the visitor, the tight face finally showed a slight relief.

"How is the situation?" Lord Nightmare invited the man to sit, personally pouring him a glass of water.

"The situation in Yanjing is quite complex, the Chen family’s ’Shadow’ organization is managed very tightly. I’ve collected data for a long time, which delayed some time," the man named ’Ghost Shadow’ took a file folder from inside his coat and handed it to Lord Nightmare.

"It’s alright, it’s good you’re back."

"By the way, Lord, why did you urgently summon me back? This time I took quite a big risk."

"Actually, I didn’t want you to come back at this crucial moment. It’s just that I recently received a secret message from Lord Moon God, urgently needing your intelligence, and a verbal order for you."

"Please instruct, Lord; I’ll accept any peril."

Ten minutes later.

"What, how could it be like this." Ghost Shadow was greatly shocked after hearing Lord Nightmare’s words but soon calmed down.

"Indeed, but this is the message sent by Lord Moon God, so I need to return to Yanjing as soon as possible," Lord Nightmare nodded, patting the man’s shoulder, "Ghost Shadow, you’re my best infiltrator. You’ve spent four months in the ’Shadow’ organization, accomplishing the task excellently. However, this time is different; this mission concerns the entire Netherworld Palace."

"Rest assured, Lord."

"Alright, quickly return so as not to arouse suspicion," Lord Nightmare nodded and said.

"Yes, Lord."

After Ghost Shadow left, Lord Nightmare paced back and forth inside the Netherworld Palace, looking somewhat uneasy and anxious. He slowly took out a metal block from his pocket, emitting a faint silver light. Outsiders didn’t know what it was, but those in the Netherworld Palace understood well; it was the Netherworld King Order, also entrusted to Lord Nightmare by Ye Shikai. With this Netherworld King Order, it was equivalent to having the highest authority in the Netherworld Palace.
