The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2827 If you have anything, Senior Brother Wen will tear me apart!
"Don't worry, I won't spread this around, and it won't endanger you."

Lin Chen glanced around and reassured her, "After you finish speaking, I will take you away from here and won't give anyone else a chance."

The man breathed a slight sigh of relief and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you!"

Lin Chen asked, "Do you know the exact location of the misty area you entered?"

The man said uncertainly, "I only know the general area..."

Lin Chen replied, "A general range is fine; it doesn't need to be perfectly accurate."

Even if you only know a general location, it will be much easier to search for it, instead of searching for a needle in a haystack in the entire Red River Mountains.

The man said in a low voice, "I started from Redwood City and headed northeast to the Red River Mountains. There's a small lake there, so it should be easy to find."

"After entering the mountains, we headed deeper into the mountains. Because we were searching for something of value, we didn't move very fast. We estimated that we could only travel about 100 to 200 li a day. We stayed there for ten days, sometimes even moving laterally. Based on this estimate, we were about 700 to 800 li away from the entrance."

"The scenery in the mountains is pretty much the same everywhere. The place where we encountered the fog wasn't anything special either..."

Lin Chen nodded and said, "That's enough. Do you have anything to add regarding the misty area?"

The man thought for a moment: "Those two people have strange accents. Although I can understand every word, their speech is clearly very different from ours. They must be from a remote place..."

"Apart from that, there's nothing else."

Lin Chen nodded and pointed to the doll: "One last question, you need to prove the truth of what you said."

The man nodded without hesitation: "No problem, everything I said is true."

Following instructions, the man made an extremely wicked oath to the doll, and his safety proved that what he said was true.

Lin Chen smiled; after waiting for three days, he had finally reaped the rewards.

Unexpectedly, we found traces of the Leaping Beast in the very first place. Now, as long as we catch it, everything will be fine.

Lin Chen put away the bounty flag, waved his hand to dispel the magical phantom of the Leaping Beast, put away the tables and chairs, grabbed the arms of the man and Gong Jianying, took a step, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

The next second, in a secluded spot in the city, the three figures appeared.

Lin Chen handed over ten million spirit stones to the man without missing a single one. As for the cultivation technique, he left it at that, because the man was afraid and dared not lead the way to find it.

After the man quietly left, Gong Jianying asked, "The Leaping Beast is quite powerful, at least at the level of a Great Luo Immortal. The fact that it was raised by someone clearly indicates that the person raising it is even stronger, most likely a Great Luo Primordial Immortal. Moreover, judging from his description, there are quite a few people inside, plotting some great undertaking. If we rashly enter, we might be in danger."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'll go in alone. You wait for me outside."

Gong Jianying snorted, "I said there was danger, but I didn't say I was afraid. I'm even stronger than you. With me by your side, things should be better, right?"

Lin Chen explained, "I'm not leaving you outside to watch the show. If we both go in and get trapped inside, there won't be anyone to call for help. Let's agree on a time. If I haven't come out by then, it means I've met with misfortune. Maybe I'm trapped, maybe I've been captured, or maybe I'm even dead. At that time, you should quickly ask Senior Brother Wen for help."

Lin Chen's words were half true and half false; in any case, he would not bring Gong Jianying in.

He can do whatever he wants, but if something happens to Gong Jianying, he won't be able to explain it to Taixu Mountain.

Although he asked Gong Jianying to call for help, Lin Chen didn't think he would be in any danger with the Starry Sky Beast Tia around. Even if he couldn't win, he could just run away.

Gong Jianying pouted: "Even if one of them gets in, it should be me, right? I'm stronger..."

Lin Chen laughed, "Fighting isn't just about cultivation level. Besides, I'm not good at fighting, but I'm very good at escaping. You're definitely not as good as me in that respect, so let's not argue. If you go in and something happens to you, Senior Brother Wen will tear me apart." Gong Jianying was helpless. She knew that with Lin Chen's personality, how could he stand in a safe place and let a woman like her risk her life for his sake?

"Alright, be careful. If anything goes wrong, retreat. If necessary, ask your senior brother for help."

"Okay, if things really aren't right, I'll definitely run as fast as I can."

Lin Chen readily agreed, but he had no intention of troubling Wen Mengsheng whatsoever.

I've already incurred a lot of favors, so I should know when to stop.

Once or twice is a favor, but if it happens too often and people don't know when to back down, they'll just become annoying.

Gong Jianying thought for a moment, then took out something and handed it to Lin Chen: "Take this..."

Lin Chen looked at the unassuming metal sphere in Gong Jianying's hand but did not reach out.

"what is this?"

"Void Bomb".

Seeing that Lin Chen didn't reach out, Gong Jianying stepped forward and stuffed the metal ball into Lin Chen's hand.

"This is something my master made himself. It can be activated by injecting spiritual power and explodes after three breaths. Its power is enormous, enough to level everything within a radius of hundreds of miles. The force of tearing space is something that even a Great Luo Immortal might not be able to withstand."

"This thing is for your self-defense. I see you can travel through space, so you can use it in conjunction with this. In a critical moment, it might be able to deal a heavy blow to the enemy. Even if you can't kill the enemy, you can create chaos for them and take the opportunity to escape."

After Lin Chen understood its purpose, he did not refuse. It's a self-defense item, and it's always better to have more than less. If it's not useful, he can just return it to her.

"Okay, thank you."

The next day at dawn, the two headed towards the Red River Mountains.

After wandering around the edge of the Red River Mountains, Lin Chen found the small lake the man had mentioned.

"Alright, you wait for me here. Whether I find the Leaping Beast or not, I will return to see you at this time tomorrow. If I don't return, it means something has happened to me, and you can ask Senior Brother Wen to come and save me."

"Okay, be careful."

For Lin Chen, a distance of seven or eight hundred miles was nothing more than a few steps in the void.

Lin Chen walked on air, and looking around, he saw lush trees and nothing unusual.

Lin Chen was surprised. According to the man, the area should be in this region, so why was there no movement?
A world shrouded in mist?

There's absolutely no mystery here.

Lin Chen continued his low-altitude patrol, lost in thought.

Suddenly, Lin Chen stopped, a look of shock on his face.

Despite the bright sunshine and clear light, it felt like a misty, rainy day. A thin fog enveloped the world, and all sounds vanished instantly, leaving the surroundings as quiet as a tomb.

A world shrouded in mist!
