The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 269 - 269 269 Wu Yu's Invitation

269: Chapter 269: Wu Yu’s Invitation 269: Chapter 269: Wu Yu’s Invitation Ye Shikai was exasperated, but on the bright side, at least Ji Yu was finally back on track.

The vast amount of information he possessed from his days as a spy could now be used to help the police solve cases.

“Your sister, she was a very good person.” Ye Shikai looked at Ji Yu, and the familiar face of Ji Qian appeared in his mind.

She was the person Ye Shikai owed the most to.

He had naively thought that they could forget each other in the world, but as it turned out, things developed in such a way that they grew closer and closer.

Even the Mothman case would not have been cracked without Ji Qian’s help.

Before his eyes, memories of Ji Qian flashed like scenes in a movie— their encounter on Holy Mountain, their interactions, and that passionate night…

Eventually, they broke up and returned to Huaxia.

Thinking of this, Ye Shikai’s eyes slowly moistened.

Standing in Ji Qian’s shoes, Zhang Ting was right in saying that Ye Shikai was indeed a heartbreaker.

Forgetting someone is truly difficult.

Ji Yu did not understand why Ye Shikai had become so sorrowful, and for a moment, did not know what to say.

Zhang Ting also felt awkward and decided to call the waiter over to order.

After a long while, Ye Shikai gradually calmed down.

Ji Yu did not press Ye Shikai further, and the three of them remained silent.

“By the way, Ye Shikai, are you interested in joining the police?” Suddenly, Zhang Ting blurted out, breaking the awkward silence.

“The police?

What police?”

“As a police officer.

You have a gift for detective work, Director Song has praised you several times in front of me,” Zhang Ting put down her knife and fork and said earnestly.

“Not interested,” Ye Shikai shook his head.

“Don’t say that.

I don’t often praise people, and being a police officer is an honorable job,” Zhang Ting continued.

“No need, I’ll just remain a regular employee,” Ye Shikai responded indifferently.

Being a police officer was indeed honorable, but it did not suit Ye Shikai’s personality.

Accustomed to freedom abroad, he probably wasn’t suitable for police work.

“Ah, then forget it.” After several rejections, Zhang Ting finally gave up, somewhat regretfully.

After thinking about it, she realized it was probably unrealistic to ask the husband of a major CEO like Su Qingyu to become a police officer.

“By the way, Zhao Rou is dead, did you know?

She died in prison,” Zhang Ting suddenly said after a while.

“What, Zhao Rou is dead?” Ye Shikai, hearing this, excitedly slapped the table, causing everyone in the restaurant to look their way.

“Sir, please calm down,” a waiter came over and kindly reminded.

“Sorry about that, I’m aware now,” Ye Shikai nodded and awkwardly sat down.

“How did she die?” Ye Shikai asked.

“Cyanide poisoning, right in the National Security Bureau’s prison.

It’s quite confidential; only Director Song, Captain Lin, and I are aware in the police department,” Zhang Ting said helplessly.

“And the surveillance?

Who did it?”

“The surveillance was maliciously damaged,” Zhang Ting said angrily, “They were careless this time.

They thought that no one would dare to make a move in the National Security Bureau’s prison, but apparently…”

Zhao Rou was the Chairman of Chengyang Group and the mastermind behind the Mothman case.

Ye Shikai had indeed heard the words “Her Majesty” from her mouth, and this incident was clearly a case of murder to silence her.

Ye Shikai sighed inwardly; whatever was behind Zhao Rou was certainly not simple.

Now, all leads were cut off, but given Zhao Rou’s cruel and ruthless nature, it was unlikely that any useful information could have been extracted from her.

The person behind the scenes surely silenced her for fear she would leak information.

National Security Bureau’s prison is highly secure, with many armed guards even without surveillance cameras.

Only one type of person could enter unnoticed.

Cultivator.

“Ding-a-ling.” At this moment, Ye Shikai’s phone rang.

He checked the caller ID, it was Su Qingyu.

Ye Shikai walked into the men’s restroom to answer the call.

“Hello, hubby, where are you?” Su Qingyu’s somewhat excited voice came through as soon as the call connected.

“I’m out eating, what’s up?” Ye Shikai said.

“Hurry back, I’ve got a surprise for you.”

“Alright, I’ll head back to the office right away.” Ye Shikai hung up the phone and shook his head helplessly.

Su Qingyu is a businesswoman and it was already past mealtime; she probably hadn’t had lunch yet.

If Ye Shikai wasn’t mistaken, this surprise must be the notification from Wu Yu.

Ye Shikai said goodbye to the others, then grabbed a pizza to go.

……

Tianya Group, CEO’s Office.

“Qingyu, I’m back.” Ye Shikai pushed open the door, placed the pizza he bought on the table, and said with concern, “Haven’t had lunch yet, right?

Come, eat something.”

“Thanks, hubby.” Su Qingyu happily gave Ye Shikai a hug, which surprised him.

It was rare for Su Qingyu to be this affectionate and proactive, it must be a real surprise indeed.

“I have a surprise for you.” Su Qingyu picked up a document from the table, which seemed to have just been faxed over.

“What’s this?” Ye Shikai asked.

“Just now, the Wu Group sent over this document.

Looks like they’re really fond of us this time.” Su Qingyu set down the document, tugged at Ye Shikai’s sleeve, and said somewhat shyly, “Moreover, Wu Yu has invited me to have dinner tonight, to discuss the details.”

Ye Shikai sighed inwardly; turn out, this pretty boy is inviting his wife to dinner.

“Then go, I don’t mind.” Ye Shikai said indifferently.

“Are you really not minding?” A hint of surprise flashed across Su Qingyu’s face.

“I am a bit, since Wu Yu isn’t very fluent in Mandarin and is quite handsome, what if he runs away with my wife?” Ye Shikai said jokingly.

“Hmph, if you’re not ambitious enough, believe it or not, I might really run away with him.” Su Qingyu said, then looked at Ye Shikai’s face to see his reaction.

“You want me to accompany you, right?” Ye Shikai smirked, not showing any signs of jealousy.

“But I really have some things to do tonight, I might not make it.”

“Are you going to be okay by yourself?” Ye Shikai said, looking at Su Qingyu who seemed a bit upset, and spoke soothingly.

Although he could not go, he would have Ailina accompany Su Qingyu for the negotiation.

Ailina was not only attractive and capable but also a cultivator; Ye Shikai always had her ensure Su Qingyu’s safety.

“Fine then.” Su Qingyu nodded, then picked up another piece of paper from the table and handed it to Ye Shikai.

“What’s this?” Ye Shikai was puzzled.

“It’s your schedule.” Su Qingyu said with a smile, “The courses are out, remember to attend your classes.”
