184: Chapter 184: Hidden Danger 184: Chapter 184: Hidden Danger Su Qingyu was frantic with worry. Ye Shikai had gone silent in Europe, and even if she reported it to the authorities, there was no evidence to suggest anything had happened to him. Su Qingyu knew Ye Shikai was a cultivator. He’d be fine with normal people, but if he encountered other cultivators, danger would be present. Qingyu dialed An Lan’s number. “Hello, Qingyu, what’s up?” The call connected, and An Lan’s voice came through immediately. “Lanlan, I need to go to Europe for a while, it might take some time. Take care of the company affairs while I’m away.” As soon as Lanlan heard it, she immediately thought of Ye Shikai’s trip to Europe. She was somewhat familiar with the company’s affairs and there didn’t seem to be anything that required an urgent trip to Europe to handle. After hanging up the phone, An Lan hurried to the CEO’s office. “Qingyu, you’re going to Europe? What’s going on?” As soon as An Lan entered, she glanced at Ailina, signaling her to leave and then she asked. “Shikai hasn’t answered my calls all day, I’m worried something has happened to him.” Qingyu’s face was filled with urgency. Before he left, Qingyu had asked Ye Shikai for his address in Europe, which Ye Shikai had given. “Don’t worry too much, he must be caught up with something urgent and hasn’t seen his phone,” An Lan attempted to reassure her. “He’s very capable, so just relax.” An Lan patted Qingyu’s back gently. “But I really can’t stop worrying. I’ve asked Ailina to accompany me; we can catch the night flight and arrive tomorrow morning.” Su Qingyu tried to calm her emotions. “Have you really decided to go?” asked An Lan. “Yes, I have made my decision,” Su Qingyu said firmly. “Well then, have a safe trip and come back soon,” sighed An Lan helplessly. Eventually, she agreed, knowing Qingyu was acting impulsively. In recent times, An Lan had come to understand Ye Shikai better. If something was indeed troubling Ye Shikai, what could Qingyu possibly do to help? But Qingyu was adamant, and An Lan couldn’t persuade her otherwise. All An Lan could do was to make sure the company ran smoothly during Qingyu’s absence. In a luxurious club in Yanjing, Luo Shiqi was in a private room. Tonight, her subordinates from several districts were set to report to her. Dressed in a red evening gown, Luo Shiqi sat in the center, looking all the more enchanting, like a queen, as the others reported to her from both sides. “Let’s end today’s reports here. If anything happens, report to me immediately.” A few hours later, Luo Shiqi stated calmly. After receiving affirmations, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only Luo Shiqi and a few bodyguards inside the room. Suddenly, the door to the room opened and a man in a suit slowly walked in. Luo Shiqi slowly raised her head to look at the man. “Cheng Yi, you don’t seem to be in good spirits lately. Are you ill?” It was Cheng Yi who came, but his expression seemed somewhat unnatural. “Haha, Miss Luo, I’m fine. But it seems you might have a problem,” laughed Cheng Yi suddenly. Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to laugh so carelessly in front of Luo Shiqi. She frowned and kept her gaze fixed on Cheng Yi. “What do you mean by that?” Luo Shiqi’s expression was serious as she spoke coldly. “That’s exactly what I mean.” All of a sudden, Cheng Yi pulled out a gun from behind his back and aimed it furiously at Luo Shiqi. “What’s going on?” In the quiet room, a loud “bang” of a gunshot startled everyone. It seemed certain that Luo Shiqi would be dead, but contrary to what everyone thought, Luo Shiqi was alright, and the gunshot had come from her. A black gun appeared in Luo Shiqi’s hand, while Cheng Yi’s gun was flung aside. In that moment, Luo Shiqi had drawn her weapon and fired in a flash, striking Cheng Yi’s hand with surprising speed. “Playing guns with me? When I learned to shoot, you were still wet behind the ears,” Luo Shiqi laughed coldly, pulling the trigger and shooting Cheng Yi in the leg. With this shot, Cheng Yi immediately knelt down on one knee, and the two bodyguards by Luo Shiqi’s side swiftly subdued him. Suddenly, several armed men burst into the room. Luo Shiqi swiftly raised her hand and fired furiously at the doorway, and her bodyguards also drew their guns in response. Luo Shiqi expertly fired her gun and reloaded, then shot rapidly, like a war goddess with every gunshot bringing down a target. Within minutes, all the intruding men were dead. Luo Shiqi picked a fruit knife from the table and walked slowly towards Cheng Yi, then fiercely stabbed right through Cheng Yi’s palm. “Ahh!” Cheng Yi screamed in agony, while being firmly held down by two bodyguards. Luo Shiqi coldly demanded, “Tell me, who’s behind this.” “Hahaha, just me by myself,” Cheng Yi suddenly laughed. Luo Shiqi didn’t believe it for a second. It was impossible for someone as small as Cheng Yi to dare betray her. Someone else must have been behind him. “Luo Shiqi, you think you’re safe now?” Cheng Yi shrieked hysterically, “Do you think you’re safe without Ye Shikai? Boss Xing, it’s time for you to show up.” Luo Shiqi inwardly cursed, knowing Cheng Yi indeed had a backup plan. Just then, the room’s window shattered, and a shadow darted in. Luo Shiqi tried to shoot, but the shadow moved too quickly and in just two seconds, all her bodyguards were dead. “Miss Luo, pleasure to meet you for the first time.” The man in black wore a dark mask, none other than the “Boss Xing,” who had been Ye Shikai’s arch-enemy, Xun Long. Luo Shiqi was taken aback by the man’s strength and her face grew very somber. Easily taking out her bodyguards meant he was definitely a cultivator. It would be better if Ye Shikai were here, but now he was in Europe. “I don’t know you. What do you want from me?” Luo Shiqi replied coldly, not showing fear though she knew she was no match for the man. “Haha, actually, I don’t intend to trouble Miss Luo. But how can I ignore the fact that you’re Ye Shikai’s woman?” The masked man laughed. Upon hearing this, Luo Shiqi roughly understood the man’s purpose. It was to kidnap her to threaten Ye Shikai. As for why Cheng Yi would assist him, probably the masked man had promised Cheng Yi... “Boss Xing, don’t forget our previous agreement,” Cheng Yi hobbled towards the masked man; a bullet had hit one of his legs.
