The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 249 Whatever conditions she sets, I'll offer double!
The sound of high heels hitting the ground rang out, and Xu Meiling's figure appeared at the corner.

"Sister Ling, save me!"

The man kneeling on the ground cried out in a pitiful voice. He was starting to panic. If Lin Chen really knew Xu Meiling, then he was doomed.

Whether Lin Chen's words were true or false, it was never wrong to sound miserable.

Xu Meiling walked over, followed by a middle-aged man with a nimble figure and sharp eyes. His gaze fell on Lin Chen, full of vigilance. Clearly, he was Xu Meiling's bodyguard.

Lin Chen sighed inwardly. Cultivation families were indeed very strict in protecting their descendants. Almost everyone had a bodyguard. Liu Zhenhao, Leng Ying, Zuo Yingying, Xu Meiling, and others that Lin Chen had all had bodyguards, and they were all very strong.

Some of these bodyguards were hired at high salaries, but most were trained by the aristocratic families themselves.

Even if ordinary people have the talent for cultivation, it is unlikely that they can afford the expenses of cultivation. However, aristocratic families possess a wealth of resources. Therefore, aristocratic families will recruit potential cultivators, provide them with resources, help them improve their strength, and help them grow. In return, they must serve the aristocratic families.

This is like a company discovering a promising talent and spending money to send you abroad for further studies to improve your skills. In return, you have to work for the company for a certain number of years before you can regain your freedom; otherwise, you'll face an exorbitant penalty for breach of contract.

The chosen cultivators are not at a loss either. Cultivator families are never short of money, and the rewards for working for them are extremely generous.

Although they lost some freedom, they had the advantage of being backed by a powerful family. As members of a family that depended on cultivators, they had both money and prestige. With the family's influence, many people stayed in such families for their entire lives.

Xu Meiling looked at the man's exaggeratedly severed leg and a hint of anger appeared on her face.

To beat one's own people on Xu's territory is to show absolutely no respect for oneself or the Xu family.

Although this was just a errand boy who usually followed me around and wasn't a very important person, you still have to consider the owner before you beat a dog.

Because it was already dark, and this was a shady area, Xu Meiling didn't recognize Lin Chen when she walked over. But when she got closer and turned to look at him, her angry face suddenly froze.

"Lin Chen?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Miss Xu."

Xu Meiling looked at Lin Chen in surprise: "You injured him?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "Yes."

Xu Meiling frowned: "Why?"

Lin Chen pointed to Liao Chengzhi, who looked uneasy, and said, "I have a grudge against him. Your underlings stood up for him and demanded that I kneel down and apologize, or they would break my legs and make me kneel down."

Xu Meiling looked slightly surprised: "So you broke his leg?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That's fair, isn't it?"

Xu Meiling looked Lin Chen up and down with surprise in her eyes, then turned to Liao Chengzhi and asked, "What grudge do you have against Lin Chen?" Liao Chengzhi was already numb with shock.

Lin Chen actually knew Xu Meiling, and judging from the tone of his voice when he spoke to Xu Meiling, there was no humility or caution in his voice. Liao Chengzhi knew that he had kicked a hornet's nest again today.

“Miss Xu, he beat up a group of my men. I brought people to cause him trouble, but others intervened and the matter was dropped. I saw him here today and wanted to teach him a lesson. I didn’t know he was friends with you, Miss Xu…”

Xu Meiling laughed and said, "I'm not really friends with him. This is our first meeting. Why did he hit your subordinate?"

Liao Chengzhi was slightly embarrassed: "My man was asked to help set up a scene at the gate of a factory. He was a security guard. He came out to chase people away, and then a fight broke out..."

"security guard?"

Xu Meiling's eyes widened suddenly as she looked at Lin Chen in surprise: "You said you work as a security guard?"

Lin Chen replied naturally, "Yes."

Xu Meiling suddenly laughed: "Zuo Yingying is so close to you, does she think you're a great fighter with a promising future, so she wants to bring you into the Zuo family and take you under her wing?"

Lin Chen looked at Xu Meiling in surprise. "How did you suddenly make this connection?"

Seeing Lin Chen's surprised expression, Xu Meiling thought she had guessed correctly and immediately laughed, "What conditions did she offer you? Why don't you come to me and I'll give you double?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Miss Xu, you misunderstand. I have no business relationship with her, we are just friends."

"Isn't this an attempt to win you over?"

Xu Meiling looked at Lin Chen in surprise: "She's so close to you, so nice to you, could it be that she really likes you and wants you to be the Zuo family's son-in-law?"

Zuo Yingying?
The son-in-law of the Zuo family?

The man on the ground stopped howling and even shrank back, as if afraid of becoming the focus of Lin Chen and Xu Meiling's attention. He even wished there was a crack in the ground so he could crawl into it.

Liao Chengzhi's face paled even more, and the sweat on his forehead increased even more.

Liao Chengzhi had just breathed a sigh of relief when Xu Meiling said that he and Lin Chen had met for the first time and were not friends. But how did this Miss Zuo suddenly appear, and from what he heard, Miss Zuo and Lin Chen were quite close?

Liao Chengzhi's mind went blank, and all he wanted to do in despair was curse.

You're so incredibly capable, and you even have a connection with Miss Zuo, why are you working as a security guard?

Crazy?
