The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2940: I'll make a note of this first, and we'll talk about it later.

"elder brother!"

"Brother Chen!"

As soon as Lin Chen returned to the manor, he saw Gu Yuexi and Shang Wenyan chatting in the courtyard. They both stood up in surprise when they saw Lin Chen.

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about spiritual practice."

Gu Yuexi smiled and said, "With the great battle imminent, we are all training hard to improve as much as possible so that we can become your right-hand men on the battlefield and help you instead of holding you back."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That's great. You're all more capable than me, so you'll have to look after me from now on!"

Shang Wenyan chuckled and said, "I heard you offended quite a few people on your trip to the War God's Mansion?"

Lin Chen replied nonchalantly, "For me, offending people is a common occurrence. It would be strange if you ever saw me not offending anyone."

Gu Yuexi and Shang Wenyan both laughed.

They knew Lin Chen's character all too well.

When traveling, if you don't learn to back down, you're bound to offend people everywhere in this dog-eat-dog world. But Lin Chen just doesn't like to back down.

Why should I back down? Why don't you give in?

If I don't have the ability, then there's nothing I can do. But if someone has the ability and a powerful backer, why should I give in?
Now that Lin Chen has two quasi-saints by his side, it's already a sign of his humility and peacefulness that he hasn't acted arrogantly or bullied others. Do you still want to bully him?
You don't know how to write the word "death," do you?
As more and more powerful figures surrounded Lin Chen, the women were no longer as worried about him as before. Instead, they felt some sympathy for those who had provoked him.

Lin Chen is someone who dares to provoke even a Quasi-Saint. You dare to mess with Lin Chen and my man? You're not worthy!
"Tell us, who messed with you?"

Lin Chen recounted everything. Upon hearing that the other party had actually sent people to intercept and kill Lin Chen, the two women were immediately furious and said, "They absolutely cannot be let off lightly!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I've been traveling a lot lately, and Chi Ya has been with me, so I haven't had time to interrogate her. I'll go and see what's going on later."

Gu Yuexi's eyes lit up: "Let's go together!"

"Row!"

Lin Chen summoned the Exquisite Pagoda, and golden light shone down as the three of them disappeared from the spot.

In the abyss, the white-haired old man lay stiffly on the cold ground, gazing at the distant light above, filled with remorse.

Why should I take the initiative to accept this task?

When he was first captured, he was hoping that his family could track him down and come to his rescue. However, so much time has passed and no one has come to his rescue. He is afraid that he is doomed.

This magical artifact should be able to block human senses and tracking; otherwise, the family wouldn't have allowed themselves to fall into Lin Chen's hands, since it would expose their identities and Zhou Daocang behind them.

Just as he was filled with despair, three people fell from above the abyss. The leader was Lin Chen, and the other two were young, stunningly beautiful women.

Lin Chen carefully examined the restrictions on the man's body before speaking, "Tell me, who are you? Who sent you?"

The white-haired old man, clinging to a sliver of hope, tried to argue, "It really is a misunderstanding. We really were capturing the White Moon Beast..."

Lin Chen sighed: "At this point, you're still trying to argue. Do you think it's even worth it? You're already here. Do you think you have any chance of leaving alive?" The white-haired old man's heart skipped a beat: "Since I'm going to die anyway, why should I admit to a fabricated crime?"

Lin Chen nodded in agreement: "Yes, that makes a lot of sense. Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well be tough, not reveal our identities, and not expose who's behind us. At least we can still protect our families..."

As the white-haired old man listened to Lin Chen's smiling words, a chill inexplicably rose in his heart.

Lin Chen paused for a moment and said, "The reasoning is indeed correct, but you may have forgotten that sometimes, the most unbearable thing is when a person wants to die but can't.

"I've heard that soul searching is a very painful thing, like being in purgatory, enduring endless pain, with every second feeling like an eternity. Since you don't say anything, I don't mind using soul searching."

"Since you're going to kill me anyway, I suppose I don't need to show you any mercy, right?"

The white-haired old man's eyes revealed fear. Having lived for so long, he had naturally used soul-searching on people before, and the horrific sight was still vivid in his mind. However, in the past, he was the one who caused pain to others, but now others were causing him pain.

"If you let me go, I can tell you the truth."

Lin Chen shook his head: "You were about to kill me, how could I possibly let you go? You're so old, how can you be so naive?"

The white-haired old man gritted his teeth, his expression complex, as he went through a fierce internal struggle.

Gu Yuexi snorted, "Don't waste your breath on him, just do a soul search. We don't need any evidence, we just need to know who it is."

Lin Chen nodded: "That's true."

Lin Chen walked up to the white-haired old man, stretched out his finger, and pressed it against the old man's forehead.

The white-haired old man's pupils suddenly contracted, and the fear in his eyes magnified instantly, as if a wave had engulfed him.

The moment a sharp pain shot through his mind, the white-haired old man completely lost his composure and shouted, "Zhou Daocang! It was Zhou Daocang who sent us!"

Zhou Daocang?
Lin Chen withdrew his finger and calmly asked, "Tell me more details."

Now that he had spoken, the white-haired old man stopped struggling. He no longer cared whether he lived or died; he only wanted to escape the terrifying torment of soul-searching.

“My name is Zhao Pingyang, and I’m from the Zhao family of Baiping. Some time ago, Zhou Daocang suddenly visited the Zhao family and mentioned that the Zhou family could give my Zhao family a business deal. Then he brought up the matter of you humiliating him at the quartermaster department, saying that you had disgraced the Zhou family. Now that you’re leaving, he can only watch…”

"He didn't say that we, the Zhao family, should help him deal with you, but we understood the implication. He came to the Zhao family right after you left, which means he wants us to help him get rid of you, doesn't it?"

“We know you have a high-grade Grand Luo Immortal by your side, so we sent the two of us to intercept and kill you. We are disguised and the magic weapons we use are ordinary, so even if we kill you, we will not be traced.”

"That's how it is. We originally thought this matter was very simple and could be accomplished easily, but who knew that you would have a quasi-saint by your side..."

At this point, Zhao Pingyang couldn't help but curse, "Zhou Daocang has really ruined me. If it weren't for his misinformation, how could I have ended up in this situation?"

Lin Chen nodded and calmly asked, "What is the strength of your Baiping Zhao family? How many Grand Luo Immortals do you have, and how many of them are Grand Luo Primordial Immortals? Tell me all of that clearly..."

Zhao Pingyang stared at Lin Chen in horror: "What do you want to do?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Just asking around, putting it on the tab, so I can have a good chat with your Zhao family later..."
