The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 294 - 294 294 The Thief

294: Chapter 294: The Thief 294: Chapter 294: The Thief After all, business collaboration has always been about harmony and prosperity.

Ye Shikai is also a law-abiding individual.

If Ji Feng were competing with Tianya Group in a fair and lawful manner, even if Su Qingyu ultimately failed, Ye Shikai wouldn’t hold a grudge against the Ji Family.

However, the current situation is that Ji Feng and Wu Zijian are in cahoots, employing intimidation and assassination as means to engage in vicious competition.

Ye Shikai cannot overlook this.

If they are allowed to continue unchecked, even Su Qingyu could become implicated.

Ye Shikai stayed in Yanjing to deal with and prevent any moves from the Ji Family.

Now that he knows Ji Feng’s intentions, Ye Shikai must also head to Hong Kong immediately.

He has personally fought with members of the Tomb Spirit Organization, of course, he knows how formidable they are.

…

Hong Kong, Wu Family’s residence.

Although the Wu Family’s mansion is styled like a Western villa, its layout is similar to the traditional siheyuan.

As the eldest son of the Wu Family, Wu Zijian’s residence is the villa to the east—according to the siheyuan’s style, the eastern wing is where the eldest son resides.

In this respect, the two are analogous.

At this moment, Wu Zijian is sitting on a couch.

Opposite him sits a man in a purple coat, sporting a beard, contrasting sharply with Wu Zijian’s fair and youthful face.

By all accounts, Wu Zijian, being the owner of the house, should be the one in command.

However, in front of this man, he has not a hint of temper and even concedes the chief seat to him, smiling obsequiously and displaying a servile demeanor.

“Mr.

Rong Yuan, I wonder how the matter I entrusted to you is progressing?” Wu Zijian personally pours a glass of red wine and pushes it towards the man, all the while smiling.

His tone seems tentative.

“Hmph, Mr.

Wu, are you questioning our capabilities?” The man opens his eyes, having been rather indifferent to Wu Zijian’s friendly demeanor.

Hearing this, a murderous look briefly crosses his face.

“No, no, of course not.

Your organization is the most mysterious in all of Hong Kong.

Everyone knows that even the SAD can’t handle you.

I, of course, have complete faith,” Wu Zijian denies vehemently, seemingly worried about annoying the man in front of him and thus trying his best to ingratiate himself.

“Then do not interfere with our operations,” the man reprimands in a low voice.

“Yes, yes, I understand.

It’s just that the negotiation date with the Ji Family is approaching, and I am somewhat anxious,” responds Wu Zijian, chastened by the man’s rebuke and submissively playing the role of a compliant servant.

“Hmph, alright.

If Mr.

Wu has nothing else, I’ll take my leave now,” the man says indifferently.

“Very well, Zhao, see Mr.

Rong Yuan out for me,” instructs Wu Zijian to a bodyguard behind him.

The man snorts coldly and in a quick stride, vanishes from Wu Zijian’s view, leaving only the curtain by the window fluttering in the breeze…

…

The next morning.

Su Qingyu and her entourage exit the hotel.

The identity of the female corpse from before has been ascertained to be a missing woman, though her cause of death is still under investigation.

Regarding this matter, Wu Yu seems to have some opinions, as he continues to exert pressure on the Hong Kong police force.

Today marks the first negotiation with the Ji Family, and Su Qingyu must not be careless.

Before leaving, she checks her appearance once more.

The importance of this negotiation cannot be understated.

Even Wu Yu has arranged a private car to pick her up, along with dozens of bodyguards for escort.

In the hotel lobby, Su Qingyu, accompanied by Tianya Group’s staff, awaits the arrival of Wu Yu’s motorcade.

Despite her extensive experience in the business world, Su Qingyu feels waves of nervousness, suffocating her and causing her body to tremble slightly.

“Qingyu, are you alright?

Are you too nervous?” An Lan extends her hand to grasp Su Qingyu’s palm, immediately feeling the sweat there.

“There’s nothing specific, I’m just worried, feeling like something is about to happen,” Su Qingyu said calmly, as sweat began to form on her forehead.

“Don’t worry, there’s still two hours until the negotiation,” An Lan glanced at her watch, speaking softly to comfort her.

“Hope everything goes smoothly,” murmured Su Qingyu.

“Ah, what’s with you?” At this moment, An Lan couldn’t help but exclaim, leaning forward as if she’d been bumped into, Su Qingyu turned around to see a cleaner wearing a hat and carrying a mop, appearing somewhat short in stature.

“I’m…

I’m sorry,” the cleaner lowered their hat, their voice quite low, bowed slightly to An Lan twice, and then turned to leave.

“It’s okay, An Lan, it wasn’t intentional, don’t mind it too much,” comforted Su Qingyu.

“I know,” An Lan touched her handbag, inadvertently checking it, and suddenly her face changed, she cried out, “Eh, Qingyu, the negotiation documents are gone!”

An Lan’s cry caused the previously quiet hall to become noisy, everyone turned to look at An Lan, Su Qingyu also felt a sense of panic, hastily searching through An Lan’s handbag.

“What happened, did you put them somewhere else?” asked Su Qingyu, her face etched with urgency.

“No, I put it in the handbag,” said An Lan, and then she slapped her thigh, “Right, it must have been that cleaner just now, they must have stolen it.” An Lan shouted to the bodyguards, “You guys, catch that cleaner from just now.”

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards immediately scanned the area and chased in the direction where the cleaner had gone; hotel staff, upon hearing, also promptly sent security to give chase.

“Ailina, you go too, we must get the items back,” Su Qingyu knew of Ailina’s abilities, as a cultivator, she was much more capable than ordinary bodyguards.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get them back,” said Ailina, then with a swift turn of her body, she stepped quickly, disappearing from everyone’s sight; no one noticed her use of Inner Strength to move due to the chaotic scene.

Su Qingyu knew the importance of these documents; without them, all the efforts of the past few days were in vain, not to mention the negotiation.

At this critical moment, for the documents to be stolen, she didn’t have to think to know who was behind it.

On one hand, Su Qingyu cursed those people’s despicability, and on the other, she tried to remain calm, praying the thief would be caught.

At this time, the hotel manager also came over, Wu Yu had already notified him beforehand to treat Su Qingyu with great hospitality, of course, he dared not neglect his duties; with such a commotion, the entire hotel was anxious.

“Miss Su, please don’t worry, we have already sent people to look for the thief,” the manager comforted her.

“Report to the manager, the cleaner cannot be found in the changing room,” at this time, a security guard ran over and reported to the manager.

“Keep looking, and don’t come back until you’ve found them,” the manager scolded loudly.

“Yes, Manager,” the security guard replied and led a group of people out in a hurry, splitting up to look for the thief.

“Hmph, a bunch of fools,” once out of sight, the security guard ran into an alley, quickly took off the cap and the security jacket, and revealed a surprisingly voluptuous body.
