The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 313 The Chu family is dead, you must pay with your life!
Mr. Zhu?
Lin Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Could it be that my previous worries have really come true?
Zhu Zi'an, the patriarch of the Zhu family?
If it really is him, then all our plans today will probably fall apart, and we might even end up losing here.

Master Xue Kuangren and Lin Chen had told him that the differences between each realm of a cultivator are like heaven and earth. A cultivator at the Inner Qi stage could never defeat a Grandmaster at the Gang Qi stage. Similarly, a Grandmaster could never defeat a Grandmaster. If you encounter a Grandmaster as an enemy, don't worry about it, just turn around and run!
Lin Chen didn't run away. He knew that if the other party was really determined to deal with him, given the remote location of the Chu family's old house, he wouldn't be able to escape at all.

Lin Chen turned to look at Leng Yucheng, Xu Lanshan, and Wei Qinggang, and found that the smiles on their faces had vanished instantly, replaced by solemn and worried expressions.

Xu Lanshan asked in a deep voice, "Who is this Mr. Zhu you're talking about?"

Chu Songfeng sneered, "The number one person in Linhai, Grandmaster Zhu, if it weren't for Grandmaster Zhu being here, do you think I would have given you this opportunity to wipe out the Chu family in one fell swoop?"

Zhu Zian walked out of the house with unhurried steps, a faint smile on his face.

"Of the eight great families of Linhai, five are here today. It's been a long time since we've had such a lively gathering."

A commotion broke out in the Leng, Xu, and Wei families' ranks, with many people showing trepidation, awe, and worry in their eyes. In contrast, all the cultivators in the Chu family's camp were overjoyed, their trepidation vanished, their eyes filled with anticipation and smugness.

Xu Lanshan asked, "Mr. Zhu, what's your purpose here today?"

Leng Yucheng frowned and said, "Are you going to help the Chu family wipe us out?"

Zhu Zian chuckled and said, "It's not that bad. Our eight families have lived in peace for so many years, and I think that's good enough. I'm here today not only to repay a favor to the Chu family, but also because I don't want us to fight each other. Wouldn't it be better if we continued to live in peace?"

The Leng, Xu, and Wei families all breathed a sigh of relief.

This old fellow didn't intend to attack them, which shows he still had some reservations. After all, although he was a Grandmaster, he was just one person with two hands. It was impossible for him to wipe out the three families. However, if the three families joined forces to counterattack, the Zhu family would suffer heavy losses even if they weren't destroyed.

Xu Lanshan asked, "So, if we don't make a move today and leave, you won't make a move either, is that what you mean?" Zhu Zian smiled and said, "That's right. As long as the Xu family, the Wei family, and the Leng family don't make a move today, you can leave at any time."

Lin Chen's heart sank. He only mentioned the Xu family, the Wei family, and the Leng family, but didn't mention himself at all. It seemed that the favor he mentioned owing to the Chu family was going to fall on him.

Leng Yucheng glanced at Lin Chen and asked, "Where's Lin Chen?"

Chu Songfeng smiled and said, "Lin Chen has a deep grudge against our Chu family. He killed my son's bodyguard Chen Huai and my brother, Grandmaster Chu Songhan. He is also the mastermind behind today's incident. Now that he's here, he can't leave. Today, the Chu family will settle the score with him!"

Leng Yucheng hesitated: "Since we came here together, if we want to stop, we should stop together. Why don't we just call it quits today and talk about it later?"

Xu Lanshan's gaze was complicated, but he finally spoke up: "Lin Chen has done my Xu family a great favor. Could you please give him face and let him go today?"

Wei Qinggang laughed and said, "The Wei family doesn't owe Lin Chen any favors, but since we've all joined forces, we're allies. If we abandon our allies in the face of battle, the Wei family will be criticized behind our backs. Why don't we discuss and find another solution?"

Lin Chen was slightly surprised. He had expected that after Zhu Zi'an showed up and made his statement, the Xu, Weileng and Leng families would probably stop immediately and stay out of it. However, he did not expect that they would still speak up and hope to help him!
It seems that the great favors I owed Leng Yucheng for saving his life and helping Xu Bin treat his unspeakable illness made them reluctant to completely abandon me. As for the Wei family, they are mortal enemies with the Chu family. Isn't the enemy of my enemy my friend?
Besides, with the Leng and Xu families both stepping forward, if the Wei family, as the Chu family's mortal enemy, just washes their hands of it, and word gets out, Kong's arrangement will really be the subject of gossip and backbiting.

Chu Songfeng sneered, "Solve it? How can he solve it? Does he have a way to revive Chen Huai and Chu Songhan? If he really can do that, what's wrong with me shaking hands with him and making peace?"

Lin Chen sneered, "Your Chu family is so arrogant, is it? You only allow officials to set fires but forbid commoners to light lamps? Chu Tianyu has tried to kill me three times in Pingjiang. If I didn't have the strength of a Grandmaster, my body would be rotting by now. You can kill me, but I can't fight back, right?"

"Enough with the nonsense! The Chu family is dead, so you must pay with your life!"

Chu Songfeng's gaze swept over Xu Lanshan and the others: "If the three of you don't interfere today, we can all live in peace. We can settle any grudges later. But if you do interfere, don't blame us for being ruthless! Mr. Zhu, make your move and take them down!"
