The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife-Chapter 1277: Wandering the City
"Impossible, besides coming to find you, who else could he go to?" Chen Yuxin didn’t believe what Ji Qian said. To her, Ye Shikai must be with Ji Qian, but Ji Qian was unwilling to hand him over.
"Chen Yuxin, are you really dim-witted from pregnancy for three years? He disappeared in the city area, and at that time I was in the forest. He has no Inner Strength; could he possibly walk dozens of kilometers here on foot?" Ji Qian directly swore.
"Then where is he?" Hearing this, Chen Yuxin also became anxious. Ji Qian didn’t seem to be lying, and her words made sense. Ye Shikai didn’t have Inner Strength, wasn’t carrying cash, and didn’t even have a phone. If he ran off, where could he have gone?
"How dare you ask me?" Ji Qian replied coldly, "If it weren’t for you destroying his Dantian, he wouldn’t be in this situation now."
Chen Yuxin was speechless. It was obvious; Ye Shikai had disappeared in a city with millions of people, penniless, without communication tools. The only thing he could rely on was his superior physical condition. Dragon Teeth taught him how to survive in the wilderness, but not in a city. Although Ye Shikai had undergone "urban course" training, if he encountered past enemies, he’d be defenseless. In short, if no one was protecting Ye Shikai, he would definitely be in trouble.
"It wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t insisted on bringing people to cause trouble. He should be in God King Hall now. How could he possibly disappear?" Ji Qian still seemed to underestimate Chen Yuxin, unwilling to admit it was her fault.
"If anything happens to him, I won’t let you off." Ji Qian had no intention of arguing pointlessly with Chen Yuxin any further. Ye Shikai was missing, and danger was imminent.
"Those are the words I should say. If anything happens to Kai, even if you are Lady Ji, I will make you pay."
Ten minutes later.
"Sir, what happened?" Selena escorted Ji Qian back to the car; Chen Ligong and Soul Destroyer hurriedly asked.
"It’s bad. I just received news. He escaped from the Shadow Organization." Ji Qian continued, "But now... his whereabouts are unknown, and we haven’t received any call from him."
"What, the Netherworld King escaped? That’s incredible." Selena was shocked. Escaping from a group of cultivators is like "letting a duck fly away just as you’ve caught it"; it’s not easy. But as the "Netherworld King," he naturally has some unusual means.
"But he’s disappeared and there hasn’t been any call." Speaking of the worrisome part, from last night until now, it’s been a morning plus an afternoon. Ye Shikai asking strangers for help to make a phone call wouldn’t be difficult, yet why hasn’t there been any call, not even to Chen Yuxin? It’s too unusual.
"Could it be the Boss is worried about being discovered?" Soul Destroyer analyzed, "After all, what he’s most worried about is being recaptured by Shadow Organization. If he rashly makes a call, he might be found."
"Soul Destroyer makes some sense. The Netherworld King is resourceful; he must have a way. Maybe contacting the outside isn’t convenient for him now." Selena comforted.
"Let’s hope so. Quickly dispatch everyone to search the whole city." Ji Qian knew this was like finding a needle in a haystack, but as long as there was a sliver of hope, she wouldn’t easily give up. However, this was North America, Zeus’s home turf, where God King Hall has a lot of power. Finding someone here is much easier than for the Three Temples.
...
Meanwhile.
Ye Shikai was also wandering aimlessly in the city. Honestly, he hadn’t been here before. He didn’t have a phone or cash, not even an identification card. If he caught the police’s attention, he’d certainly be seen as an "illegal immigrant" and get caught.
Moreover, Shadow Organization must be searching for him throughout the city. Having managed to escape, he had to come up with a foolproof plan. Walking alone in the city, it’s easy to feel "lost" not just psychologically but physically. The first problem Ye Shikai needed to solve was to find his location. Luckily, he found a city’s paper map in a trash bin, though not very detailed, it was usable.
Ye Shikai gently touched the area of his Dantian, feeling a bit of regret. If he had Inner Strength, his actions now would be much easier.
Fortunately, he was proficient in English, so reading the map wasn’t difficult. He wasn’t sure if his surroundings were safe. With Shadow Organization’s capability, combined with Zeus’s local influence, finding him would be easy. The only way was to limit contact with the outside world.
Ye Shikai found a gathering place for the poor on the map, where many outsiders and "illegal immigrants" congregated, with lesser strict management. Over time, it became a mix of all sorts of people; hiding there might be harder to discover.
Without money, Ye Shikai had to walk. When he arrived, it was already night. All day without food, his stomach began to "protest." With no Inner Strength, his energy consumption was like that of an ordinary person. If he didn’t get some food, he would eventually starve.
With Ye Shikai’s ability, if he really wanted to "rob" or something, it wouldn’t be hard, but his values were very "correct"; he would never do such things, even if this wasn’t Huaxia.
He has hands and feet; he won’t starve, right?
By now it was deep night; Ye Shikai planned to find a place to sleep first and look for odd jobs tomorrow. After searching for a long time, he finally found an alleyway, directly laid down on newspapers.
"Hey, kid, who are you?" Suddenly, a shout jolted Ye Shikai awake. Looking up, he saw three fierce-looking black men standing in front of him, each a little taller than him.
"A homeless guy, can’t you tell?" Ye Shikai replied fluently in English. Besides the clothes, did he look like he had a penny on him? Besides, if he had money, would he be sleeping in an alley?
"Do you know whose territory this is?" The men seemed surprised at Ye Shikai’s English, an Oriental speaking such fluent English.
"I don’t care whose it is."
