The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife-Chapter 1261: Collapse

"That’s good. If the Family Head knows the First Miss’s intentions, he should feel more at ease." Chen Ligong nodded with relief. As Ji Tao’s most trusted subordinate, Chen Ligong is no longer considered an outsider. He is well aware of the matters between Ji Tao and Ji Qian, the father-daughter pair. In fact, nothing really stands between the father and daughter. Although Ji Tao did not agree to Ji Qian’s actions earlier, he silently supports her from behind, even deploying the White Mist Army.

"It’s my fault for involving him. When I return, I will apologize to him," Ji Qian said apologetically. But now that she is back at the Ji Family, her every move is inevitably linked to the Ji Family. To be honest, she really doesn’t want to drag the Ji Family down. If she indeed confronts Chen Yuxin, given her personality, she will certainly pressure Ji Tao. By then, the whole family will be ’dragged into the water.’

"Actually, the Family Head has long planned to deal with the Chen Family, but the timing is not yet right. It seems this time, a confrontation with the Chen Family is unavoidable." As Chen Ligong spoke, he gestured for the White Mist Army behind him to board the plane. A large group of people standing here has already attracted considerable attention, so it’s best to leave quickly.

"Nightmare, has Worm sent the information?" On the plane, Ji Qian seemed to be waiting for Worm’s ’progress.’ North America is vast; without a specific location, finding Ye Shikai would be futile. Tracking Ye Shikai requires Worm’s intelligence.

"Just sent it over. It’s the Boss’s path trajectory, and these are surveillance images." Nightmare handed over a laptop. Sure enough, on it, Ye Shikai’s path was marked as a line, along with timestamps. Ye Shikai left the airport, went to a restaurant, and then... nothing more, probably because the information hasn’t been updated yet. It’s also possible he’s still inside the restaurant.

Right now, Ji Qian wishes the plane could fly at the speed of light; she wants to be by Ye Shikai’s side immediately. Every second she delays, Ye Shikai becomes more endangered. It’s truly infuriating—if it weren’t for the ’incident’ at the airport, they would have been nearing North America.

"Worm is a top hacker, but in North America, there are also Zeus’s tech personnel. Completely mastering the intelligence will take some time," Nightmare explained.

"It’s alright, the God King Hall is there, it can’t run away." Ji Qian’s target is clear—rescue Ye Shikai. But that’s not their backyard; it’s the God King Hall, Zeus’s stronghold. The building is immovable, but Ji Qian must ensure Ye Shikai’s safety, so if possible, she prefers resolving the issue through negotiation.

The situation has escalated. At worst, sacrificing a bit of Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple’s interests is acceptable. Chen Yuxin must have reached an agreement with Zeus; he wouldn’t harm Ye Shikai. Chen Yuxin must be confident about it; otherwise, she wouldn’t leave Ye Shikai in Zeus’s territory.

Ji Qian is confident because she knows what Zeus truly wants—the market of both palaces in Europe. As long as Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple are in Europe, the God King Hall can never enter.

"How’s Wang Kai’s side?" Ji Qian asked.

"Lord War God’s people have already arrived in North America. We were delayed, so we’re slower by a step."

"Have them hide for now. Zeus might anticipate Wang Kai’s arrival, so they’ll likely tamper with things at the airport."

"Yes, I’ll notify them right away."

God King Hall.

"Miss Chen, welcome to the God King Hall. I’ve been eagerly anticipating your arrival," Zeus said in fluent Huaxia, addressing Chen Yuxin, who had traveled from afar. Aphrodite stood by his side. The aura of the two main gods was strong, yet it did not affect Chen Yuxin at all. Her cold gaze was extremely sharp. Chen Yuxin slowly walked up to Zeus but did not shake hands with him.

"Please, Miss Chen, I’ve prepared a feast to welcome you," Zeus, well-versed in Huaxia culture, felt he’d gained a ’big advantage’ this time.

Meanwhile, Ye Shikai’s head was covered, and he felt as if he had been brought to a secretive room because the surrounding noise had disappeared.

"Xin, where are you?" Ye Shikai shouted loudly. Suddenly, the bag on his head was pulled off, and light flooded in, causing him to feel a momentary glare. Once he recovered, he saw the person in front of him.

"Kai, I’m here." Chen Yuxin gently caressed Ye Shikai’s cheek. Only then did he realize that it was a luxurious ’presidential suite,’ with lavish decor. Previously, Ye Shikai had been covered and couldn’t see his surroundings, but if he guessed correctly, he was now inside the God King Hall.

"Where is this place? What are you trying to do?" Ye Shikai moved around the room, but there was no exit, and the only door was locked.

"Kai, you’ll be staying here for a while. It’s very safe here."

"You’re insane." Ye Shikai cursed loudly, forcefully banging the wooden door. But without Inner Strength, just relying on his body, the wooden door remained unmoved, while Chen Yuxin wasn’t in a rush, just sitting by the bed, watching him quietly.

"Damn it, let me out." Ye Shikai knew his predicament; he’s in the God King Hall. He didn’t expect Chen Yuxin to actually do this. In his frustration, he rushed to her side, reaching out to strangle her neck.

"You intend to harm me." Ye Shikai’s eyes were filled with anger.

"Cough...I didn’t." Chen Yuxin didn’t resist, allowing Ye Shikai to choke her neck tightly.

"You..." Ye Shikai gritted his teeth, ultimately releasing his hand. No matter how much he hated her, he couldn’t possibly strangle Chen Yuxin with his own hands; not when there’s a child involved.

Ye Shikai’s body’s strength seemed to suddenly drain, as he slowly sat on the bed. Being betrayed by his pillow partner, he suffered deep psychological and emotional wounds. With so much happening recently, he even entertained thoughts of ’giving up on himself.’ At the very least, as an ’ordinary person’ without Inner Strength, he was ’insignificant,’ wasn’t he?

Suddenly, Chen Yuxin hugged Ye Shikai tightly from behind.

"Kai, I would never harm you. I love you." Chen Yuxin suddenly cried out, "If it weren’t for those people around you, we could have been so happy now. It’s all their fault."

"Enough." Ye Shikai shouted, stood up, and pointed at Chen Yuxin’s nose, cursing, "You always push the blame onto others, when clearly it’s your fault."

After yelling, Ye Shikai sat down again, feeling very ’tired.’ Chen Yuxin’s controlling desire was too strong, and in her quest to control and possess him, she resorted to all means.
