The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 152 - 152 152 Zhang Ting's Request

152: Chapter 152 Zhang Ting’s Request 152: Chapter 152 Zhang Ting’s Request Su Qingyu’s face was emblazoned with the words “disagree.” She was inherently cautious, something Ye Shikai had anticipated.

By now, in Su Qingyu’s heart, Ye Shikai had become an inseparable part of her life.

However, Su Qingyu was unaware of Ye Shikai’s true identity as the Netherworld King, let alone the existence of the Netherworld Palace.

Naturally, she did not know the real reason for Ye Shikai’s trip to Europe.

“I have a friend abroad who I met before who’s currently facing some urgent issues and needs my help.

It would be embarrassing for me to decline, so I agreed to help,” Ye Shikai made an excuse.

“Well, alright then, when will you be leaving?” Su Qingyu thought for a moment and ultimately did not object to Ye Shikai’s decision.

“I’ll find a free period soon, probably within the next few months,” Ye Shikai said.

In truth, he had no desire to return to Europe at the moment.

Originally, Ye Shikai had planned to settle down and live a good life in Huaxia.

Unexpectedly, he found himself heading back to a life on the edge, where blood was licked from the blade of a knife.

However, Ye Shikai was well aware that this was unavoidable.

If anyone dared to threaten him or his loved ones, he would not hesitate to risk his life in their defense.

“Go early and return early,” Su Qingyu approached Ye Shikai and extended her hands to adjust his tie, resembling a virtuous wife who earnestly implores her husband to return home soon.

This warmth touched Ye Shikai deeply.

“Qingyu, are you going to miss me?” Ye Shikai teased, gently catching Su Qingyu’s hand.

“Keep dreaming, who would miss you?

If you’re going to leave, then just leave,” Su Qingyu said with a playful smile, shaking off Ye Shikai’s hand, “If there’s nothing else, you should go downstairs to work.”

“Alright then, my dear wife, try not to miss me too much,” Ye Shikai laughed and then went back downstairs to the public relations department.

After Ye Shikai left, Su Qingyu’s smile slowly faded away, and her face showed a trace of sadness.

Gazing into the distance, she seemed deeply lost in thought.

Despite Ye Shikai’s natural behavior during their conversation, she had a strong feeling that he was hiding something.

This feeling might come from the tacit understanding between spouses or perhaps a woman’s sixth sense.

Su Qingyu was certain that Ye Shikai’s trip to Europe was not as simple as he made it sound.

Ever since she found out about the cultivation practice, Su Qingyu realized that Ye Shikai was not as simple as she had initially thought.

However, Su Qingyu would not pry because she knew when Ye Shikai was ready, he would tell her.

It was just that Ye Shikai had deceived her yet again.

Back at the public relations department, Ye Shikai encountered a familiar person.

But for Ye Shikai, “unwelcome visitor” might be a more apt description.

“Scumbag, pfft, Ye Shikai, I need to talk to you.” Indeed, it was Zhang Ting, who always had a bone to pick with Ye Shikai.

It never crossed Ye Shikai’s mind that she would come looking for him.

He viewed this temperamental female cop as straightforward and knew if she came to him, it must be something important.

“Oh, Officer Zhang, what brings you here?” Ye Shikai pretended to be surprised.

This little policewoman cursed him the moment she saw him, truly impolite.

“I have something to discuss with you,” Zhang Ting found a chair to sit on.

Perhaps due to her uniform making her look stern, all the girls in the public relations department kept their distance, not daring to approach.

“What’s the matter?

I am a law-abiding citizen, a good citizen at that,” Ye Shikai spoke.

“Cut the crap.

I’m here to ask for your help,” Zhang Ting, being straightforward, got right to the point.

“You’re a police officer, and I’m just a civilian, what kind of help do you need from me?” Ye Shikai crossed his arms over his chest, appearing disdainful.

“It’s like this—the prison at the police station had an inmate escape.”

“And what does that have to do with me?” Ye Shikai asked in puzzlement.

“After an investigation, it turns out the escape was assisted by someone outside, and all the locks were picked,” Zhang Ting explained, then somewhat embarrassingly added, “I remember that night, you also had the ability to unlock handcuffs.”

“What, you’re not suspecting that I helped him, are you?” Ye Shikai exclaimed.

Last time Zhang Ting wanted to use force against Ye Shikai, he simply used his Inner Strength to unlock the handcuffs.

“Of course not, I just hope you can assist me in finding him,” Zhang Ting said.

So, the woman had come to seek his help, Zhang Ting earnestly added, “Helping the police solve a case is the duty of every citizen, and if you catch him, it would be an honor.”

“Mmm, you make a good point.

It seems I have no reason to refuse.”

“Great, then it’s settled,” Zhang Ting immediately smiled upon seeing how agreeable Ye Shikai was.

“But I refuse outright.” Ye Shikai quickly changed his tone, leaving Zhang Ting dumbfounded, “I’m just a white-collar worker, I can’t be of much help to you.

You should seek out a detective for this matter.”

“Are you even a man?

Making such a fuss over a simple favor, just give me a clear answer, will you help or not?” Zhang Ting became anxious when Ye Shikai refused.

“No, I will not,” Ye Shikai persisted in refusing while eyeing Zhang Ting, displaying a confident expression, “I remember you were a traffic cop, how come you’re a criminal detective now?” Ye Shikai inquired.

“Let me guess, did you make a bet with your superior that if you could solve this case, you’d be reassigned as a detective?” Upon hearing this, Zhang Ting’s body trembled; Ye Shikai had guessed correctly.

Zhang Ting indeed had made a bet with Song Tian.

These past days as a traffic cop had driven her nearly to despair, so now with this rare opportunity, she was determined to accept the challenge, no matter what.

But Zhang Ting, who only knew how to handle a gun, was clueless about investigating a case.

That’s why she thought of asking Ye Shikai for help.

Reluctantly, yet undoubtedly, Ye Shikai’s capabilities were no doubt effective, and even Song Tian hinted to Zhang Ting that with Ye Shikai’s help, the case could be solved in no more than a day.

“And you know all this yet still won’t help?” Zhang Ting said irritably.

“Alas, who was the one that wanted to hit me with a baton the first time we met?

It left me so scared even now,” Ye Shikai feigned fear, while Zhang Ting seemed furious but could not show it.

“Isn’t it enough if I apologize to you?

Please, I beg you, help me this once.” If Zhang Ting knew she’d have to ask Ye Shikai for help now, she would never have antagonized him the way she did before—truly a case of shooting herself in the foot.

“Then show me some sincerity,” Ye Shikai said with a sly smile, his gaze scanning Zhang Ting’s body.
