The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2938 More trouble than it's worth!
Chi Ya said coldly, "We know what they look like. All we need to do is find out their identities."

Lin Chen countered, "Since they've come to us so openly, and it seems they're not planning to kill you to silence you, they obviously aren't afraid of you seeing their faces. Do you think their faces are their real faces? And do you even think the magical artifacts they use are the kind of unique, natal magical artifacts that are easily identifiable?"

Chi Ya was stunned and speechless.

Yes, since others are coming for Lin Chen, they must know that Lin Chen can complain to the Palace Master. They certainly won't leave any clues for you to catch, otherwise, wouldn't that cause endless trouble?

"Then what do we do? Aren't we just going to suffer this loss for nothing?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "It's nothing, don't worry about it."

Chi Ya looked at Lin Chen, who remained calm, with admiration in her eyes.

The sect leader is too calm!
These two people came to kill him, yet he wasn't excited at all; instead, he remained remarkably calm.

Perhaps he's been through so many things like this that he's become desensitized to them?

Chi Ya gritted her teeth and said, "Although the sect leader was not injured, we were tricked for nothing. It feels like we suffered a great loss."

Lin Chen smiled slightly and reassured him, "Don't worry, I have a way to find out who sent them. But right now, the focus is on improving our strength, and it's not suitable to engage in pointless fighting."

"They targeted me today, I'll remember this and settle the score later, none of them will escape!"

Chi Ya's eyes lit up: "Sect Master, do you have a way to find out who sent them?"

Lin Chen smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything more about it: "Let's go, let's continue on our way!"

Seeing that Lin Chen didn't say anything, Chi Ya was curious but didn't press him further.

Since the sect leader said there is a way, then there must be a way!

Just listen to the sect leader!

Although she hadn't spent much time with Lin Chen, Chi Ya had already developed an inexplicable confidence in him.

Although the sect leader is young, he is really capable, and seems to be much more powerful than he appears.
"Alright! When the sect leader seeks revenge another day, please be sure to take us with you!"

Lin Chen smiled nonchalantly: "Okay!"

Long after Lin Chen and Chi Ya left, the middle-aged man who had intercepted them earlier swept across the sky, hovering in mid-air with a puzzled expression.

"Where is he? Why can't I sense him?"

The middle-aged man closed his eyes and tried to sense things, but to no avail.

"Did this guy kill Lin Chen and then run back to report his success?"

The middle-aged man's face showed anger, which quickly turned into deep confusion.

"That's impossible. Old Zhao isn't such a shallow person. He wouldn't do something so obvious. It was something we did together. There's no way he would take credit for himself..."

"But where did he go? Could it be that the kid ran too fast, and the two of them chased him out of the sensing range?"

"That shouldn't be the case. That kid isn't very strong. How could he possibly outrun Old Zhao? If Old Zhao wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as waving his hand."

"Did something unexpected happen?"

A sense of unease rose in the middle-aged man's mind, but he quickly reassured himself that with such a disparity in strength, how could there be any accidents?
If that kid really has skills, why doesn't he just use them directly instead of turning around and running away?
Something must have happened that I didn't plan for, which is why I can't sense Lao Zhao now.

Never mind, let's go back first!

Regardless, once Old Zhao finishes his business and can't find me, he'll naturally go back. The middle-aged man turned around, his body transforming into a rainbow, heading towards the War God's Mansion.

Several days later, the middle-aged man returned to his family and, after inquiring about the matter, was greatly surprised.

Old Zhao hasn't come back yet!
The man's unease rose again, like a dark cloud hanging over his heart.

hold on!
Three more days passed, but Old Zhao still hadn't returned. It was as if he had vanished into thin air!
The man was completely numb.

Something must have happened to Lao Zhao!
If nothing had happened, he wouldn't have disappeared without a trace, and I wouldn't have failed to sense him. So much time has passed, and he wouldn't have failed to return home immediately, since Zhou Daocang is still waiting for good news.

The man suddenly realized that if Old Zhao had disappeared, what about Lin Chen?

Is he dead?

If he died, it means Lao Zhao succeeded; if he didn't die, it means Lao Zhao failed. It's quite possible that Lao Zhao's disappearance is related to Lin Chen.

"check!"

The man immediately took action, spending a considerable amount of money to send a message through a teleportation array, asking a friend near the Haoran Sect to help inquire about the sect leader, Lin Chen.

Two more days passed, and then the message came back.

The man's expression changed drastically after reading the message.

The sect leader of Haoran Sect, Lin Chen, and the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Chi Ya, have both returned to Haoran Sect!
The man gritted his teeth, got up, and went out the door.

In a secluded room, Zhou Daocang looked at the man opposite him and his expression suddenly changed: "You two top-grade Grand Luo Immortals actually failed, and one of you even disappeared?"

The man smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Lin Chen has returned to the Haoran Sect, but Old Zhao has not returned yet, and there is no news of him. It's as if he has vanished into thin air. I still don't know what happened."

Zhou Daocang's eyes blazed with anger: "Could it be that your old Zhao took some benefits from Lin Chen and ran away on his own?"

The man was taken aback; he hadn't considered this possibility.

"Can't you?"

Zhou Daocang angrily said, "Then answer me, why is it that when a high-grade Grand Luo Immortal is chasing a Grand Luo Supreme Immortal, the Grand Luo Supreme Immortal returns safely, while the high-grade Grand Luo Immortal disappears without a trace?"

The man remained silent, speechless. Yes, how could it just disappear like that?

That's a top-grade Grand Luo Immortal!
Even if he were to face a peak Grand Luo Immortal, he could run away if he couldn't win, so how could he just disappear without a trace?
Who can kill or capture a high-grade Great Luo Immortal silently?
Quasi-saint?

Lin Chen, a Great Luo Immortal, was in the middle of nowhere; where could he possibly ask a Quasi-Saint for help?

Does he have that kind of face?
Zhou Daocang said coldly, "Lin Chen made a contribution in the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm. It is said that the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm gave him a reward that would make anyone envious. Perhaps Lin Chen used this reward as bait to make that Old Zhao give up killing Lin Chen, then took the reward and disappeared on his own..."

Although the man thought it was unlikely, Zhou Daocang's words sounded reasonable and irrefutable. After all, how could one explain Lin Chen's unharmed state while Old Zhao disappeared?

The man gritted his teeth: "I'll go back to the Haoran Sect and find an opportunity to strike!"

Zhou Daocang sneered, "There are so many Grand Luo Immortals in the Haoran Sect. You think you can just kill them like that? Don't you have a brain? If you get caught later, won't everything be exposed?"

The man smiled ingratiatingly: "Young Master Zhou didn't order us to do this. We heard that Young Master Zhou had been wronged, so we took the initiative to help him vent his anger..."

Zhou Daocang gave the man a cold look: "Do you think people will believe what you say? Forget it, let's leave it at that for now, as if it never happened. You can leave now!"

The man blinked, as if nothing had happened?
What about that vanished Old Zhao?
