Chapter 566: Chapter 566: Focus of the National Security Bureau
“I’m not particularly clear on your status and organization abroad, but I know you and your friends are no small matter.” Luo Shiqi stood up, revealing a grave expression. The Netherworld King is too distant for the Huaxia’s populace, but for the National Security Bureau, every cultivator who poses potential danger to Huaxia is recorded in their archives.
As the most confidential archive room of the National Security Bureau, probably only Jin Li, the Director of the National Security, holds the highest authority to access it. Even Tianjing and others likely couldn’t access the archives. That’s right, precaution never hurts. Although the National Security Bureau never intervenes in foreign underworld disputes, there is no harm in collecting data, whether it’s from Ye Shikai’s standpoint or Jin Li’s standpoint, there’s no problem.
Initially, Tianjing might not have known about Ye Shikai’s identity, but Jin Li definitely knew. However, that old fox is quite cryptic. But when Ye Shikai returned to Huaxia, why didn’t the National Security Bureau directly obstruct it? They probably wouldn’t allow an illustrious Netherworld King to be in Yanjing.
“What do you think is the extent of my influence?” Ye Shikai asked with a smile.
“At the very least, enough to draw absolute attention from the National Security Bureau,” Luo Shiqi responded, taking out a wine glass from the cupboard, pouring a glass of red wine and handing it over.
“I think it might be related to my identity, I have always been a Huaxia person.”
“That’s impossible, then what about your friend? Wasn’t he previously from Huaxia as well?” before Ye Shikai could finish, Luo Shiqi interrupted. “The National Security Bureau never gambles on luck or relationships, they want absolute data.”
“Shiqi, you are not wrong. Either myself or my friend, both are sufficient to attract the attention of the National Security Bureau.” After a minute of silence, Ye Shikai spoke lightly, “Perhaps, the National Security Bureau has never ceased their watch on me, even though I am already married here.”
“If I remember correctly, your marriage to Qingyu was facilitated by Su Pengzhan.” At that moment, Luo Shiqi suddenly remarked, which instantly changed Ye Shikai’s expression. He suddenly recalled that Su Pengzhan and Jin Li were old acquaintances, and they had met at the National Security Bureau.
Why would Jin Li feel secure about Ye Shikai coming to Yanjing, could it be because of Su Pengzhan?
“That’s true, but it can’t prove anything.” Ye Shikai didn’t want to define a family member with overly complicated feelings. Su Qingyu is his wife, thus her parents are naturally his family too. Ye Shikai has a great trait yet it’s also his flaw—he never doubts those around him.
In fact, Ye Shikai was very aware that his smooth return to Yanjing to marry, work, and live involved Su Pengzhan’s influence.
“Shall we change the subject? Your man failed to take the fall, the National Security Bureau will definitely investigate thoroughly. I’ll have Wang Kai leave the country as soon as possible,” Ye Shikai said indifferently.
“That would be best, but I still need to remind you,” Luo Shiqi’s face showed worry, “be cautious.”
“It seems I have saved you more than once,” Ye Shikai replied with a light smile.
“You’re still so nonchalant,” Luo Shiqi tapped Ye Shikai lightly on the chest, “but that’s what I like about you.”
“I still have some things to handle, I’ll head back first.”
“Wait.” Just as Ye Shikai was about to step out, a jade hand grabbed his arm.
“This issue, you should probably ask your father-in-law about it. Capturing Wang Kai seems to create a big scene on the surface, but I feel the National Security Bureau’s target might be on you,” Luo Shiqi stared into Ye Shikai’s eyes and slowly said.
Ye Shikai borrowed a car from Luo Shiqi, and just as he drove out of the residential complex gate, a Rolls-Royce was coming in. The two cars passed by each other.
“Miss Luo, Miss Chen Yuxin is here for a visit.”
“Why would she come?” Luo Shiqi was caught off-guard by the servant’s knock while halfway through her wine.
“Please, let her in.” Luo Shiqi waved her hand. This woman, who had always maintained a low profile yet held significant sway in Yanjing’s business circles, taking the initiative to visit her, made Luo Shiqi wonder about her motives.
The frightening thing about Luo Shiqi is that she isn’t from a family or a corporation, but merely an individual. A family owning assets worth dozens of billions isn’t strange, but when a single individual controls such wealth, it’s extremely terrifying. Luo Shiqi’s personal net worth placed her on the Yanjing rich list, coupled with her control of underworld forces, even the four major families would caution their younger generations not to provoke this woman. Except for offering some respect to the elderly from those families, everyone else was just a spoiled rich kid in her eyes, nothing without a family.
But Chen Yuxin alone caught Luo Shiqi’s attention. There wasn’t any particular reason, aside from feeling that Chen Yuxin surpassed those old timers.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be sitting in the Family Head’s position.
“Miss Chen, welcome,” Luo Shiqi did not stand up but simply waved her hand, signaling Chen Yuxin to sit.
“Where is he?” Chen Yuxin, with a cold face, directly asked.
“Who are you referring to?”
“Ye Shikai, I’m asking where he is.”
Luo Shiqi’s face changed. How did Chen Yuxin know Ye Shikai, and even come to her looking for him? Although unaware of Ye Shikai and Chen Yuxin’s past as childhood sweethearts, Luo Shiqi was certain that Chen Yuxin had some connection to Ye Shikai almost drowning.
“What do you want with him?” Luo Shiqi asked, suppressing her displeasure.
“That’s none of your concern, just tell me where he is.”
“Were you the one who nearly got him drowned?” Luo Shiqi’s tone was not a question, but a statement.
“No, that was an accident.”
“He’s already gone home, he’s not here with me.” Luo Shiqi snorted coldly, then turned away, refusing to face Chen Yuxin.
“Chen Yuxin, what is your relationship with him?” Luo Shiqi asked directly.
“Nonsense, he’s married to Su Qingyu. What makes you say that?” Luo Shiqi sneered coldly, downing a glass of red wine, thinking she had known about all of Ye Shikai’s women, yet here was another, and from the Chen family no less.
“You needn’t know about that.” Chen Yuxin replied coldly, “Since he has already left, I will take my leave as well.”
“Wait.” Just as Chen Yuxin turned to leave, Luo Shiqi stopped her.
“What else do you want?” Chen Yuxin turned back, her tone indifferent.
“I don’t care what your intentions are, but if you dare hurt Ye Shikai, I won’t let you off,” Luo Shiqi warned.
