The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 296 - 296 296 The Anomaly of the Nightmare

296: Chapter 296: The Anomaly of the Nightmare 296: Chapter 296: The Anomaly of the Nightmare On the plane, Ye Shikai talked a lot about Ji Feng’s conspiracies and also reminded Luo Shiqi of the danger of the Tomb Spirit Organization.

Now that he thought about it, Ye Shikai would actually prefer Luo Shiqi not to come to Hong Kong, where she had no safe protection and might even get hurt by the Tomb Spirit Organization.

“Hehe, you really underestimate me, don’t you?

Do you think being in charge of the Underworld in Yanjing is any safer than whatever the Tomb Spirit Organization is?” Luo Shiqi retorted, the waters of Si Jiu City are deep and murky.

As a woman alone, Luo Shiqi became the Underground Queen, experiencing how much bloodshed.

“I am not like Su Qingyu, when I started dealing with these things, she was still the good student in her ivory tower,” Luo Shiqi said with a proud laugh.

“Shiqi, can I ask you something?”

“Go ahead and ask, why the hesitation?”

“How old are you this year?” Ye Shikai asked somewhat awkwardly.

“Hey, I’m only twenty-seven,” Luo Shiqi said with a coquettish smile, her little hand playfully slapped Ye Shikai’s chest.

“Are you lying about your age…”

“Ouch!” Above Luo Shiqi’s head seemed to hang a cloud, her fist landing heavily on the top of Ye Shikai’s head.

Well, Ye Shikai admitted to his own misfortune due to his loose tongue.

However, achieving such achievements at twenty-seven seemed somewhat unbelievable, and Luo Shiqi seemed to lack any significant background, which piqued Ye Shikai’s curiosity.

All the way, Luo Shiqi intently watched Ye Shikai beside her, with a look of resentful affection, as if the one in front of her was a heartless playboy.

Ye Shikai couldn’t stand the intense gaze, sharp as a blade that could dismember him.

He simply turned his head and pretended to sleep.

“Hey, wake up quickly, we’ve arrived.” After an unknown period of time, someone shook Ye Shikai, and he drearily opened his eyes – pretending to sleep had led him actually to fall asleep.

“Shiqi, how long has it been?” Ye Shikai asked sleepily, looking as though he hadn’t rested well for a long time.

Luo Shiqi flicked his forehead, instantly making him wide awake.

“It’s been two hours, let’s get moving.” Luo Shiqi grabbed Ye Shikai’s arm and forcefully pulled him up, walking out of the boarding tunnel.

As soon as they left the gate, Ye Shikai keenly noticed three people in the crowd watching him closely.

“Shiqi, I’ll take you to meet a few people.” Ye Shikai said with a mysterious smile, immediately arousing Luo Shiqi’s interest.

“Sure, I’d like to see who they are.” Luo Shiqi waved her hand, and a man in black immediately followed behind her, seemingly her bodyguard.

“Prepare the car outside and wait for me to come out.”

“Yes, Miss Luo.” The man in black nodded and left the airport.

“Haha, brother, you’re here.” As soon as they stepped out of the airport, a girl looking person pounced over, with a pair of white casual shoes and a shirt with a small bear pattern on it, looking very cute.

Ye Shikai hugged her accordingly.

Zi Yun, who seems harmless but poisons like a god, could let an unguarded person never see the sun of tomorrow just with such a hug.

“This beautiful older sister must be brother’s close female friend,” Zi Yun said with a smiling face and extended her hand for a warm handshake with Luo Shiqi, her lips curving up slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

Ye Shikai caught this scene…

“Alright, let’s talk more once we get outside,” Ye Shikai quickly pulled Zi Yun aside, glaring at her fiercely as he spoke awkwardly.

This girl probably hid itching powder in her hand, planning to play a prank on Luo Shiqi.

“Little sister, you have such a sweet mouth.

Sister will give you candy,” Luo Shiqi said with a smile.

“Lord Netherworld King, you’ve arrived,” the remaining man and woman, Soul Destroyer and Demoness, were originally on a mission in Africa, but a phone call from Ghost called them directly to Hong Kong.

“Okay, it’s still early; let’s go grab some food first, I’m nearly starving this morning,” Ye Shikai chuckled.

Led by Soul Destroyer, the group of five arrived at a private room in a Chinese restaurant.

Unlike the dishes in Yanjing, breakfast in Hong Kong is famously exquisite, especially the delicately crafted pastries.

After the meal, Ye Shikai glanced at his watch and asked in a low voice, “How is the situation over at Wu Yu’s side?”

“Rest assured, sir, our people have been monitoring them covertly.” Ye Shikai nodded after hearing the response, calculating that today should be the day of the first round of negotiations.

Since Wu Zijian, that lunatic, sought the Tomb Spirit Organization to assassinate Wu Yu, he certainly wouldn’t want Su Qingyu’s negotiation to succeed.

Therefore, it was very likely the Tomb Spirit Organization would take the initiative and act before the negotiation.

“By the way, have you seen Nightmare?” Ye Shikai suddenly asked.

“We have, but that kid’s been a bit off lately,” Demoness remarked indifferently, with a curious expression, “Usually, he’s so proud, ignoring everyone except for your orders, sir.

But last night, he seemed a bit different.”

“Oh?

How so?” asked Ye Shikai.

To describe Nightmare in modern terms, he was like an icicle—always giving one-word answers when one would suffice, and always appearing aloof.

But in terms of strength, he truly was the foremost of the Netherworld Palace’s four great war generals.

“It’s like he’s usually a machine, but when we saw him yesterday, it felt like…

he somehow gained a bit of human touch.”

“Pfft.” Luo Shiqi couldn’t help but laugh, probably surprised at Demoness’s assessment of Nightmare.

“Hehe, and this guy, he doesn’t care for money or beauties.

I used to think that he might be, you know…” Soul Destroyer also joined in, teasing him while everyone else tried to stifle their laughter.

Ye Shikai laughed so hard that he spat out a piece of melon seed shell.

…

Hong Kong, Wu Family residence.

As requested by Mr.

Wu, he wanted to negotiate with Su Qingyu first, followed by the representative of the Ji Family.

Wu Yu also dressed in a sharp suit, his shiny leather shoes making him look more spirited.

He was about to go pick up Su Qingyu and her party for negotiations at the Wu Family home, and he dared not neglect them.

To prevent any mishaps, he specifically called up forty bodyguards, driving ten business vehicles to go.

“Yo, little brother is looking quite spirited today,” Wu Yu had just planned to step out the door when a discordant voice came from behind him.

Turning around, it was Wu Zijian, flamboyantly dressed in a white suit, creating a striking contrast with Wu Yu’s attire, one black and one white.

“Big brother looks spirited as well,” Wu Yu replied neither servile nor overbearing.

“Are you going to pick someone up?

You should be careful, little brother.

Hong Kong hasn’t been very peaceful lately, with ruffians blocking the streets and dead bodies found in closets.

Do you need to bring more people?” Wu Zijian stood on the steps, looking down at people as if with his nose, arrogant and aloof, his speech and demeanor conveying unapproachability.

“Just wait at home, big brother.

No need for you to worry,” Wu Yu said coldly.

Accompanied by a few bodyguards, he got into one of the middle business vehicles and set off in a grand manner.

“Is everything arranged properly for this time?

What about Miss Su?” On the way, Wu Yu still felt somewhat uneasy and couldn’t help but ask one of the bodyguards next to him.

“Please rest assured, young master, Miss Su is very safe.” The bodyguard made a phone call to confirm someone was on the other end before responding.

Only then did Wu Yu breathe a sigh of relief.

When the convoy took a small road, Wu Yu glanced outside the car window unintentionally and was shocked to find that the normally bustling road was eerily deserted.

“What’s going on?

Why is there not a single person?” Wu Yu asked.

“Maybe they are filming…

and have closed the road.

I saw some people with camera equipment earlier,” a bodyguard replied vaguely, unsure of the situation.

After hearing this, Wu Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide, feeling a chill down his spine.

If they were filming here, how did the convoy get in?

“Bang.” Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

A bullet pierced directly through the driver’s head, blood splattering on the windshield…
