The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 111 - 111 111 The Girl Next Door

111: Chapter 111 The Girl Next Door 111: Chapter 111 The Girl Next Door Under the eyes of the Netherworld King, making such a minor move was akin to seeking death.

Baka, whose arm had been chopped off by Soul Destroyer, had completely lost the ability to resist.

He looked in terror at the three people present.

Ye Shikai slowly stood up and walked to Baka’s side, his face expressionless, as if looking at a corpse.

“Please…” Baka, weakened by severe blood loss, said faintly.

Ye Shikai extended his right hand and struck down on Baka’s crown.

It seemed like just a slap, but this palm carried profound Inner Strength.

A pale blue energy flowed downward, piercing through Baka’s entire body, shattering all his internal organs, leaving no possibility of medical recovery.

Baka fell straight down, blood flowing from all seven orifices.

“Let’s go,” Ye Shikai said, glancing at Baka’s corpse and showing a slight smile mixed with a hint of helplessness.

He thought that by killing Baka and those mercenary leaders, he could avenge his dead brothers from that battle.

However, it now seemed that Baka was just the facade, and the anonymous person might have a massive hidden power.

They were the real masterminds.

The three walked out of the house, facing a large group of people in black, each bearing the mark of the Netherworld Palace.

Undoubtedly, they were people from the Life Palace.

Seeing themselves, everyone kneeled on one knee, showing reverence, and Ye Shikai, as if an emperor, waved his hand and then everyone slowly rose.

“Reporting to the Netherworld King, all eleven mercenary groups have been annihilated, and all their leaders have been killed, leaving no survivors,” one of the men in black reported.

“Good, let’s go back,” Ye Shikai waved his hand and the crowd dispersed.

For the sake of his former comrades, he embarked on a path of vengeance.

Since Baka mentioned there was a traitor, he would investigate thoroughly and root them all out.

But this investigation had lasted until now…

His thoughts drifting off, Ye Shikai looked at the door in front of him, hesitating to open it, stood still, touching the key in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Ah, isn’t this Kai?” At this moment, a middle-aged woman happened to pass by, looking curiously at him standing lost in thought, then raised her head to look at his face and pondered deeply.

“You are…

Mrs.

Zhao, aren’t you?” Ye Shikai came back to his senses, looking at the woman’s face and trying hard to remember.

Finally, he recognized the woman in front of him, who was the same age as his mother, and he loved running to her house when he was a child.

“Yes, weren’t you abroad?

You came back and didn’t even say hello,” Mrs.

Zhao exclaimed joyfully, as they hadn’t seen each other for three years since he went abroad.

Even in the years before he went abroad, he was often in the military and seldom went home, so they hardly met since his mother’s death.

“I just got back,” Ye Shikai said.

“You young man, you didn’t even call from abroad, did you forget about your Aunt Zhao?” Mrs.

Zhao said with a joyous smile, teasing him.

“Overseas, there were some matters, so I was unable to keep in touch with you all,” Ye Shikai said with an apologetic face.

During his childhood, Mrs.

Zhao was very warm to him, treating him like a son.

He indeed felt wrong for not calling her all these years.

“Alright, let’s not talk about that.

Tonight, I’ll cook dinner to welcome and clean the dust off you,” Mrs.

Zhao said with a smile.

“Why not go inside?

Let’s go in and talk.”

“Oh,” Ye Shikai opened the door to his home, expecting the house to be dirty and cluttered after being away for three years.

But as soon as the door swung open, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

Everything was neatly arranged and the furniture was dust-free, hardly seeming like a place that had been uninhabited for three years.

“In the years you were away, I often cleaned this house, just in case you suddenly came back one day,” Mrs.

Zhao said contentedly.

Hearing this, Ye Shikai felt a wave of emotion surge through him.

It is said true feelings surface during hard times.

As a child, after his father’s death, he and his mother were left alone and forsaken by all their relatives and friends, yet Mrs.

Zhao’s family never mocked or ridiculed him, and instead frequently offered their help.

“Mrs.

Zhao, thank you,” Ye Shikai earnestly said, bowing deeply to Mrs.

Zhao.

Since becoming the Netherworld King, he rarely bowed to others.

There’s the story of Han Xin who valued a meal as worth a fortune—a principle that also applied to Ye Shikai.

“You’re family, why mention it?” Mrs.

Zhao laughed.

After all these years of persistent cleaning, the house finally welcomed back its master.

The two sat on the sofa and started chatting, having endless topics to catch up on after so many years apart.

When chatting about his recent years abroad, Ye Shikai felt somewhat uneasy.

Mrs.

Zhao didn’t press further, knowing that being alone overseas without family or friends couldn’t have been smooth sailing—it must have been fraught with hardships, so there was no need to bring up past pains.

Before they knew it, evening had arrived.

Mrs.

Zhao glanced at the clock on the wall and said, “Kai, it’s getting late.

I’ll head back to start cooking.

You should come over too.”

“Sure, I’d love to,” Ye Shikai happily accepted the invitation.

It had been a while since he last visited Mrs.

Zhao’s house, and he wondered if there had been any changes.

“Old man, come out and see who’s here.” As soon as they arrived home, Mrs.

Zhao called out to the living room.

The ‘old man’ she referred to was her husband, Mr.

Li, who Ye Shikai had always called Uncle Li since he was a child.

Like Mrs.

Zhao, Uncle Li was also warm-hearted and had treated him kindly during his childhood.

“Isn’t that Kai!” Uncle Li turned around, and after squinting for a few seconds, he suddenly recognized Ye Shikai, his face lighting up with a delighted smile.

He quickly walked over and grasped his hand.

“Uncle Li, be careful.” At that moment, Uncle Li grimaced in pain, supporting his waist with one hand.

Ye Shikai promptly rushed to his side to support him.

“It’s nothing, just a backache, an old problem,” Uncle Li chuckled, and they both sat down on the sofa.

“Kai, when did you get back?

You didn’t even let us know,” Uncle Li asked.

“Uncle Li, I’ve just arrived, and I didn’t have the chance to notify you yet.” At that moment, there was a sudden knock at the door.

Mrs.

Zhao walked out from the kitchen with a smile and quickly went to open the door.

“Mom.” As the door opened, Ye Shikai heard a female voice.

A familiar one.

His mind raced, seemingly recalling something.

The girl strode in quickly, setting down the backpack from her shoulder, playfully kicking off her shoes, and slipping on slippers.

As she turned around, she found herself face-to-face with him.

“Brother Kai, you’re back!” she recognized him immediately, exclaiming with surprise, then leapt into his arms, giving him a big hug.
