Looking at the house in front of him, Ye Shikai suddenly felt a sense of loss and panic. How should he put this?

"What are you doing loitering at the door?" At this moment, a cold voice came from behind. Ye Shikai was so startled that he shivered, turning his head to see that it was none other than Su Qingyu. How could she come out from behind him? Ye Shikai was completely unprepared for her sudden appearance and stepped back several paces out of fright.

"Are you sick or what, haha." Su Qingyu couldn't help but laugh, not understanding Ye Shikai's current feelings. It seemed she still didn't know the truth.

"I... you startled me." Ye Shikai turned his head, a hint of unease flashing across his face, and hastily took out his keys to open the door.

"I just went out and happened to come back when I saw you." Su Qingyu followed him inside, seeming quite eager about Ye Shikai's return. Come to think of it, he hadn't been home in a long time...

"Qingyu, I..." The words reached Ye Shikai's lips but he "swallowed" them back down.

"What, is there something you want to say?" Seeing this, Su Qingyu keenly sensed Ye Shikai's abnormality. Generally straightforward, today he was hesitating, obviously having something to say but holding back.

"This..."

In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through Ye Shikai's mind. Should he say it or not? Previously, at the Worm Sect, he had imagined hundreds of times how to face and confess, but when he truly stood in front of Su Qingyu, his mind went blank...

"Are you too tired? You should go to your room and rest for a bit." Seeing Ye Shikai not answering for a long time, Su Qingyu gave him an excuse for him to step down.

"Oh, alright... alright." Ye Shikai casually responded a few words and went straight upstairs.

"What on earth is wrong with him?" Su Qingyu shook her head slightly, expressing confusion. In fact, she was also busy all day at the company, even more so these days. With the company's matters bustling, the pressure on a lady could only be imagined. However, when she returned home and saw Ye Shikai, everything didn't matter anymore.

Ye Shikai lay on the bed in his room, looking depressed. What should he do, really conflicted, besides, what did Ji Qian really mean by her words?

Ring-ring-ring.

"Hello, who is it?" Ye Shikai picked up the phone without even looking at the caller ID and directly answered the call.

"Sir, it's me."

"Jeddon, it's you." Hearing the voice on the other end, Ye Shikai immediately responded. In the Netherworld Palace, although Jeddon's combat ability was not outstanding, he was utterly loyal to Ye Shikai, hence his status in the Netherworld Palace was second only to the four battle generals.

"Sir, I heard you returned to Yanjing."

"Yes, is there something going on?"

"Sir, I received a secret message from the Moon God Temple."

"What, is this true?"

"As expected, sir. I felt strange when I received the message, wondering why it wasn't sent directly to you, so I specifically called to confirm." Jeddon immediately said, and as Ye Shikai listened, he increasingly felt something was off. At that time, it seemed Ji Qian had concealed something, and now, the Moon God Temple sent a secret message, but he, as the Netherworld King, hadn't received it.

"Jeddon, what on earth is going on? Tell me everything clearly." Ye Shikai suddenly became alert and got up from the bed.

"Moon God's secret directive orders the four battle generals to take an elite squad of Hidden Guards and immediately head to Yanjing to rendezvous..."

....................................…

Yanjing Airport.

From a private jet, a woman dressed in plain clothes emerged, with a few faint smiles on her stunningly beautiful face. Although she looked somewhat haggard, she seemed in good spirits.

"Family Head, you're back." At this moment, a woman in business attire had been waiting for a long time and immediately went up to her upon seeing her.

"Ruoya, I'm a bit tired, let's go home first." Indeed, the woman who got off the plane was Chen Yuxin. During the days she stayed in Jiangnan, Chen Yaogzu helped her straighten her meridians, allowing her Inner Strength to break through once again. The key was that stable Inner Strength was even more critical for the fetus in her abdomen.

"Okay, Family Head, quickly get in the car." Chen Ruoya opened the car door. There were several other cars around, all containing guards from the Chen family. As a prestigious family with a solid foundation, the Chen family was an exception. No one could have imagined that a "little girl" in her twenties could manage everything so well.

"Yes, Family Head."

"While I was not in Yanjing these past few days, did anything happen at home?" Chen Yuxin picked up a document and said lightly.

"Not much." Chen Ruoya knew that this "young Family Head" was pregnant, so she handled many issues herself to reduce Chen Yuxin's stress. She was a trusted confidant and, besides Chen Yaogzu, was the only one who knew about Chen Yuxin's pregnancy.

"Alright then, pay more attention to things here. For this year, if there's no major event, do not disturb me." Chen Yuxin had already planned to "retire" for a while and focus on her pregnancy. As the saying goes, "Mother relies on her son to rise," and she now valued this soon-to-be-born little life greatly.

"Yes, Family Head, leave everything to me."

Bang.

Just as Chen Ruoya finished her sentence, a loud noise came from ahead. Chen Ruoya instinctively protected Chen Yuxin, raising her head to see, it seemed that something was wrong with the security vehicle in front.

"What happened up ahead?" Chen Yuxin's face changed, suddenly speaking. She had just returned, how could this happen already?

"It looks like the tire burst."

The car ahead slowly coasted to the side of the road, and the other cars followed suit and came to a stop.

"Family Head, please stay calm, I'll go check."

"Wait a moment." Just as Chen Ruoya was about to open the car door, Chen Yuxin suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.

At this time, a guard from the Chen family also got out of the car in front. It's not easy for a car tire to burst casually. If someone intentionally laid spikes, then the other cars shouldn't be unharmed either.

"Check and see what it is."

"Alright." The Chen family guard got out of the car and walked towards the left front tire. Previously full, in just a short ten seconds, it deflated completely.

"This is..." The guard picked up a flashlight and shone it on the hole in the tire: a round, little hole, high probability it's a... bullet hole.

"This is a bullet hole." The guard reacted immediately. To be a Chen family guard, one wasn't an ordinary person, quite familiar with firearms.

Bang.

A streak of white light flashed across from the distant high building. Before everyone could react, the guard had already collapsed to the ground, blood flowing from his temple.
