40: Chapter 40 Conspiracy 40: Chapter 40 Conspiracy Two burly men entered the room and carried the middle-aged man’s corpse out. “Du Ya, come here.” A deep voice echoed in the spacious villa. As soon as the words were spoken, a black figure flashed in front of the man in black and respectfully said, “Master.” “How is the investigation going?” “The investment of several hundred million yuan obtained by Tianya Group this time was indeed orchestrated by Luo Shiqi. Additionally, the assassin who tried to kill Luo Shiqi at the mall last time has been confirmed through investigation to be a foreign assassin.” “Foreign... assassin.” The man in black fell into deep thought after hearing this, his expression somewhat solemn, then he issued another order, “Find out immediately, who is the mastermind behind this.” “Yes.” After saying that, Du Ya tapped his toes lightly, turned into a residual image, and disappeared inside the villa. The man in black muttered to himself, “Luo Shiqi, you dare obstruct me, then don’t blame me.” Inside Tianya Villa, Su Qingyu sat alone, having navigated a company crisis earlier that day and drunk a few extra glasses at the reception. Her cheeks were still flushed, “Wife, I’m home.” Suddenly, the door of the villa opened, and Ye Shikai gently sat next to Su Qingyu, chuckling, “Wife, congratulations, I told you the company would be fine.” “Um, since you came to see me today, why did you leave again?” Su Qingyu looked at Ye Shikai with a puzzled face. Ever since she saw Ye Shikai silently leaving earlier that day, she had been pondering over it, like an unresolved concern. Ye Shikai never expected that she had actually seen him. Surprised, he was stunned for a long while before stammering, “You seemed really busy, and it’s not proper for a minor employee like me to stay among the leaders.” “Do you think I am particularly heartless, being a CEO yet making you a junior employee?” Su Qingyu looked at Ye Shikai sternly. To outsiders, Su Qingyu’s approach indeed seemed inappropriate; a wife as a CEO offering her husband a junior position could seem like a flagrant humiliation. “Ah,” Ye Shikai sighed lightly, “Did dad and you talk about this?” Su Qingyu nodded slightly. After the reception, she had received a call from Su Pengzhan who had scolded her furiously, then spoke earnestly, mainly about her lack of consideration for Ye Shikai’s feelings. “Qingyu, you really don’t need to mind, I actually don’t mind being a junior employee.” Ye Shikai’s life had indeed been legendary: after an excruciating love affair in his youth, he joined the army, then lived a hazardous life abroad, became the Netherworld King, and a local tyrant; now, he returned to the city to live an ordinary white-collar life, which is exactly what Ye Shikai seeks—living an ordinary life. “Of course, wife, I would still be happy if you were to give me some bonuses.” Ye Shikai reverted to his casual demeanor, and Su Qingyu rolled her eyes at him, “If you need money, just ask me directly.” “That ten million, I...” “Don’t even think about it, that’s mine.” Su Qingyu decisively refused and then immediately looked suspicious, “You’re asking for ten million, are you planning something behind my back?” “How could I possibly do such a thing!” “It’s best not to, if you dare do something behind my back, see how I deal with you.” Ye Shikai breathed a sigh of relief and muttered under his breath, “You’re not letting me touch it anyway.” “What did you say?” Su Qingyu suddenly turned her head, looking fierce and formidable. Ye Shikai broke into a sweat, “No... nothing.” He then slipped away swiftly, disappearing back to his own room. Back in his room, Ye Shikai pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number, “Hello, Ghost.” “Hey, Boss, you actually called me.” “Hey, Boss, you actually take the initiative to call me.” A magnetic voice came through from the other end of the phone, it was Ghost. “How’s that matter I asked you to check out last time?” “I’ve got results. Just as you expected, Boss, the ones who attempted to assassinate Luo Shiqi are indeed no ordinary people; it’s the Fox Hunter Killer Group.” “Fox Hunter... Killer Group.” Ye Shikai was a bit surprised. The Fox Hunter Killer Group was a prominent assassin organization in the underworld, and someone had spent a huge sum to hire so many assassins to come to Yanjing to kill Luo Shiqi; it seems this person has significant backing. “Boss, do you want me to take them out?” Although the Fox Hunter Killer Group had some reputation in the assassin world, compared to Netherworld Palace, they were still minnows; wiping them out would be a piece of cake. “No need, if Netherworld Palace makes a move, it might alert others to my presence in Huaxia, which would be troublesome.” Ye Shikai thought for a while and said; after all, he’s no longer alone now, if his enemies, or even other Main Gods, target the people around him, it would be troublesome. “How about I send some top experts from Netherworld Palace to protect sister-in-law?” “Alright, but make sure it’s done secretly, without anyone finding out.” “Understood. By the way, Boss, what’s your relationship with that Luo Shiqi? She isn’t your second wife, is she?” “Ghost, would you die if you weren’t so nosy?” Ye Shikai yelled into the phone, “I asked you to find out who’s targeting your sister-in-law’s company, did you find anything?” “Boss, that’s a bit tricky, after all, Huaxia isn’t our turf. But according to our analysis, it isn’t a foreign force doing this; most likely it’s some business rivals of sister-in-law.” Ye Shikai didn’t blame Ghost; it’s hard for even the Main God’s forces to infiltrate when the National Security Bureau of Huaxia is around, and with Tianya Group prospering recently, it’s no surprise that it’s upsetting many people’s interests. “Boss, recent investigations by Netherworld Palace show that a lot of mercenary and assassin organizations are getting restless, and their destination is Huaxia. It might not be aimed at you, but you have to be cautious.” “I know.” Ye Shikai hung up the phone, his sixth sense telling him that there was indeed a huge conspiracy behind this. The outside world should not know about his presence in Huaxia, but these restless international forces must be related to him in some way. It seems he has to be more cautious. Meanwhile, in a soon-to-be-demolished building in downtown Yanjing, about twenty people dressed in black stood orderly, each person’s eyes filled with murderous intent and stern expressions. Standing in front of them was a man in a black cloak, none other than Du Ya. “Tomorrow’s operation must succeed, no failures allowed.” “Yes,” everyone said in unison. Du Ya’s lips curled into a sinister smile as he murmured, “Luo Shiqi, you will surely die tomorrow.” After speaking, he flung a flying knife from his sleeve, piercing right through the photo of Luo Shiqi.
