The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife-Chapter 1258: Stirring Up Trouble

"Fine, even if it’s a tiger’s den or dragon’s lair, we must rescue the Lord." Nightmare nodded, having already informed Illusion Fox at the European headquarters to immediately lead a large group of Hidden Guards to North America. He also enlisted Wang Kai to bring people from the War God Temple to join the mission. Speaking of which, Ye Shikai’s previous decision cannot be overlooked. By ordering the Netherworld Palace’s forces in Huaxia to contract, most of the Hidden Guards and armed personnel had withdrawn to Europe for recovery. With Illusion Fox and Short-nosed Crocodile training day and night in Europe, the repeatedly battered Hidden Guards were given the chance and time to regain their essence.

"Lord Moon God, Nightmare, someone is coming." At this moment, Soul Destroyer walked over, face sinking, and pointed not far away. Indeed, Tianjing, along with the Divine Weapon Special Group and a team of National Security members, was approaching.

"How can it be them?" Ji Qian’s face darkened immediately. Although Tianjing was not a bad person, the identities of both sides were destined to be oppositional. As for Ji Qian, being the eldest lady of the Ji Family, Tianjing wouldn’t do anything to her. However, Nightmare, Soul Destroyer, Demoness, and the Hidden Guards and Moon Guards behind her would be more troublesome.

"National Security Bureau." Tianjing walked straight to Ji Qian and presented his credentials to establish his identity. "Miss Ji, long time no see."

"Indeed, I wonder what’s brought Team Leader Tianjing here now," Ji Qian retorted. Due to Ye Shikai, as long as the members of the Netherworld Palace didn’t overstep any bounds here, they were generally left alone. But with so many of them coming, it’s certainly not simple.

"Of course, I am a person who values efficiency, Miss Ji. I won’t say much. I ask for your cooperation, as I have some matters to investigate." Tianjing pointed to everyone, clearly indicating this included the members of the Netherworld Palace. Given Ji Qian’s understanding of Tianjing, the key focus this time likely involved the figures behind her. He hoped Ji Qian would "issue orders" to avoid conflict. After all, if she spoke, the members of the Netherworld Palace would surely comply.

"Mr. Tianjing, I fear you may be disappointed. We have urgent matters at hand and will be boarding a plane shortly." Ji Qian had no desire for a dispute with Tianjing as she was eager to save someone. And if they didn’t head to North America, even if Wang Kai, Illusion Fox, and Short-nosed Crocodile led people there, it would be futile.

"Miss Ji, I hope you’ll cooperate. We’re in Yanjing; I think you should cooperate with our work."

"Tianjing, has someone said something to you?" Ji Qian controlled her anger. At such a critical juncture, Tianjing came over with people to investigate—it was no coincidence. Ji Qian understood Tianjing to be strictly professional and by the book; someone must have provided the National Security Bureau with information.

"Sorry, I can’t disclose that information, Miss Ji. The seniors of your family have helped the National Security Bureau before, so I hope you understand us."

"Very well, I’ll go with you." Ji Qian took a deep breath to calm down. If she guessed right, it was likely the Chen family that provided the National Security Bureau with information. As for the specifics, Ji Qian did not know; however, Chen Yuxin had anticipated Ji Qian would bring people to the airport and thus informed the National Security Bureau. The aim was likely the Netherworld Palace. As the leader of the Divine Weapon Special Group, Tianjing was always fair. He wouldn’t act on personal feelings. Besides, this was Yanjing. If a conflict arose, the one at a disadvantage would be the Netherworld Palace, which was probably what Chen Yuxin wanted to see.

"Nightmare, let’s go."

"What? Lord Moon God, our boss’s whereabouts are unknown; we must act quickly. I don’t care—I must leave today." Demoness was hot-tempered. If Tianjing came at another time, she might not mind. But at this crucial moment, a second late could jeopardize Ye Shikai’s safety—intolerable. Additionally, the members of the Netherworld Palace probably wouldn’t willingly comply either.

Upon speaking, the expressions of the Hidden Guards behind them changed, subtly... ready for confrontation.

"Everyone, listen to my order," Ji Qian sternly commanded, "Follow me."

"Enough, let’s all listen to Lord Moon God." At this critical moment, Nightmare remained calm. If they escalated now, it would be impulsive and only invite trouble, offering no help for the bigger picture. Additionally, Nightmare knew Ji Qian’s identity. If she were taken into the National Security Bureau, how could the Ji Family sit idly by?

North America.

"Kai, you didn’t sleep all night, feeling exhausted?" Chen Yuxin opened the cabin door, Ye Shikai lay on the chair, bloodshot eyes, and dried blood on his wrist.

"Sorry, I didn’t come last night to help deal with your wound." Chen Yuxin waved, and several attendants brought alcohol and cotton balls.

"What exactly are you going to do?" Ye Shikai’s tone was extremely cold, devoid of any emotion. Normally, someone would have already gone mad in such a situation, but Ye Shikai’s anger had been vented last night, as demonstrated by the wound on his wrist.

"Kai, I’m sorry for knocking you unconscious last night. I was too upset at that moment, but you also... I’ve apologized, yet you remain so indifferent."

"You’re... simply unreasonable." Ye Shikai’s voice was somewhat weak. He hadn’t eaten in over ten hours and hadn’t slept all night; exhaustion was taking its toll.

Ye Shikai didn’t expect the plane to fly for so long. If there wasn’t any intentional "circling," the only explanation was that the destination was indeed far, most likely already beyond Huaxia.

"Where is this?" Ye Shikai asked, as the attendant unlocked the handcuffs, allowing him to slowly get up and stretch.

"North America, didn’t I say it already? A new base has just been built here, so I came to look."

"Is that all?" Ye Shikai sensed something was amiss, suddenly breaking free from Chen Yuxin’s hold. North America was too sensitive a place for him; Zeus was his nemesis—who would like an enemy’s stronghold? Moreover, if it indeed was that simple, why did Chen Yuxin need to handcuff him? It was unnecessary and would arouse suspicion.

"No, you have other intentions." It was undeniable that Ye Shikai found this marriage tragic, having to guard against his partner as if against an enemy.

But did Chen Yuxin truly consider him her husband? Ye Shikai still had doubts. Perhaps she didn’t genuinely intend to harm him, but the love she expressed drove her to do many hurtful things to Ye Shikai.

"Kai, don’t overthink it. Since we’re here, let’s take a stroll first."
