The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 158 - 158 158 Darkness Under the Light

158: Chapter 158: Darkness Under the Light 158: Chapter 158: Darkness Under the Light “What, this person is She Bin, are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?” When Ye Shikai returned to the base and handed over the blood to Jeddon for analysis, he didn’t expect to get this result.

“No mistake, we carried out a genetic comparison, and this person is undoubtedly She Bin.” Jeddon handed over the lab report and blood sample together, Ye Shikai fell into deep thought, an assassin, who helped a big shot break out of prison, only to be killed by someone else.

If She Bin was in cahoots with Xun Long, why then was She Bin murdered?

Could it be that someone wanted to intercept Xun Long and She Bin was killed while defending his master, resulting in the perpetrator constructing it to look like an accidental death?

This conjecture seemed to have some holes.

Suddenly, Ye Shikai slapped his thigh, as if he had remembered something.

“Damn it, I forgot about that.” Ye Shikai flipped through Xun Long’s profile; he was once a big shot in the southern part of Huaxia, while She Bin was a native-born foreign hitman, with no apparent connection between the two.

But why did She Bin come to rescue Xun Long after he was arrested?

Ye Shikai had always overlooked this fact.

These two didn’t know each other at all, so if She Bin came to help Xun Long break out, someone must have ordered him.

As for who that instigator was, Ye Shikai still didn’t know, but the murder of She Bin was undoubtedly closely related to the instigator.

However, Ye Shikai was now faced with a big problem.

With She Bin dead, the lead in the Xun Long prison break case was gone.

So, how should he find Xun Long?

Ye Shikai ordered Jeddon to continue searching for Xun Long’s whereabouts, then drove back to the scene where Zhang Ting was.

“Where did you go off to?” Zhang Ting asked anxiously upon seeing him; she was still unaware of She Bin’s identity, that She Bin had helped Xun Long escape, or even that She Bin had died.

“Nothing much, I was just thinking about where Xun Long might go after breaking out of prison.” Ye Shikai stared at She Bin’s body and spoke blandly.

“He definitely would have fled Yanjing, right?

If I were him and knew that the entire Yanjing was searching for him, I would surely leave this place.

After the heat dies down, come out and cause trouble again.

If he couldn’t escape, then he would hide in the remote mountains and forests, away from prying eyes.” While inspecting the scene of the fire, Zhang Ting seemingly unconsciously answered the question.

“Hiding in remote mountains and forests, fleeing Yanjing.” Ye Shikai muttered to himself, then suddenly yelled, “Zhang Ting, you’re a genius, your words reminded me!”

“What are you talking about?

I can’t understand you.” Zhang Ting, startled by Ye Shikai’s sudden outburst, said irritably.

“In the past few days, have your police forces been sent out to search the mountains?

But what if Xun Long isn’t there at all?” Ye Shikai said.

“Do you mean to say…” Zhang Ting seemed to have been enlightened.

“The darkness under the lamp, Xun Long’s hiding place, is right here in this city, and it’s probably somewhere in the city center.” Ye Shikai was very confident, after Xun Long’s escape, the police immediately blocked the borders of Yanjing.

Through conversations with Lin Dong, Ye Shikai knew that even the SWAT teams were involved in the blockade and search operation, so Xun Long must be still in Yanjing City.

“Where in the city did your police force catch Xun Long?” Ye Shikai asked urgently.

“In a house in the center of Yanjing City, our surveillance team watched him for a long time before capturing him in one fell swoop,” Zhang Ting recalled and said.

“We’re going there right now.” Ye Shikai grabbed Zhang Ting’s arm and, to be cautious, brought along two officers from the police station.

“Why didn’t you let me bring a patrol car, insisting we come in your car instead?” The four of them rushed towards the house mentioned by Zhang Ting, but Ye Shikai did not let them take a patrol car; they took the Lexus instead.

“You’re such a dummy, rolling up with a police car all high-profile like that would’ve spooked Xun Long even if he was there,” Ye Shikai had a dark expression, as the slightest rustle could startle such a cunning old fox.

“Right, those were all your deductions just now.

Is Xun Long really going to be there?” Zhang Ting was somewhat uneasy; after all, that place was where he had previously slipped up.

Would he really go back there?

“You don’t understand the psychology of bosses like Xun Long.

Since the risk of leaving Yanjing is too great, they would definitely stay somewhere unexpected,” Ye Shikai explained.

“Pfft, you talk as if you’ve been a boss before,” Zhang Ting stuck out her tongue and glanced at Ye Shikai.

If she knew that Ye Shikai was the formidable Main God, the Netherworld King, who knows what she would think.

“Listen up, we’re going to go up quietly later.

Don’t blow our cover too soon,” Zhang Ting instructed the two police officers in the backseat.

“Yes, Sister Ting.” The three of them cocked their pistols in advance, and Zhang Ting gave Ye Shikai a look, “Are you still not going to use a gun this time?

If Xun Long’s up there, he might have bodyguards with him.”

“No need.

Keep these toy guns for yourselves,” Ye Shikai scoffed disdainfully.

“The room that Xun Long used to occupy is on the thirteenth floor of this building,” Ye Shikai said as he drove the Lexus and slowly pulled up to the bottom of the building.

“Okay, the two of us will go up first.

You two, pretend to be electricians and follow after we’ve entered,” Ye Shikai turned and told the two male officers.

Because of Song Tian’s authorization, the officers investigating this case had to follow Ye Shikai’s commands.

“Let’s head up now,” Ye Shikai parked the car and spoke to Zhang Ting.

As they got out, Ye Shikai took Zhang Ting’s arm, and the two of them walked closely entwined.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Zhang Ting said displeased.

“Don’t talk.

If Xun Long is here, then we are already in his line of sight,” Ye Shikai pressed on Zhang Ting’s arm, signaling her not to move.

Zhang Ting had never been held so intimately by a man before; her face flushed red “whoosh” in an instant.

The two slowly entered the building; according to the plan, Ye Shikai and Zhang Ting would take the stairs while the two officers pretended to be electricians, taking the elevator first to the thirteenth floor, then pretending to inspect the meter as a pretext to open the door and observe.

Ye Shikai lit a cigarette, slowly climbing the stairs and leisurely smoking, his fingers continuously sliding on his phone.

“Hey, aren’t you nervous, being so leisurely?” Zhang Ting was a bit annoyed, looking at Ye Shikai’s casual demeanor, nothing like someone about to catch a suspect.

“No rush.

Xun Long might not even be here,” Ye Shikai replied.

“Hey, you’re not playing me, are you?” Zhang Ting became anxious again.

“Of course not.

Let’s hurry up; the other two are almost there,” Ye Shikai glanced at the elevator, which was about to reach the thirteenth floor.

They were close now too.

Almost simultaneously, all four arrived on the thirteenth floor.

The two police officers approached that room and knocked on the door, while Ye Shikai and Zhang Ting observed from afar in the shadows.
