The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 153 I Can't Afford to Offend?
“You can tell me yourselves. If you’re not willing to talk, the night is long and I have plenty of time to persuade you.”

The leading man had his left arm in a sling, his back hunched, and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. The force of Lin Chen's sweeping kick was immense; if he hadn't been a cultivator, that kick would probably have killed him instantly.

These were the words he had just spoken, but now they were coming out of Lin Chen's mouth, making them seem incredibly ironic.

A few minutes ago, they were the hunters and Lin Chen was the prey; now Lin Chen is the butcher and they are the lambs to the slaughter.

Of the five men, two died in the blink of an eye, one had his Adam's apple shattered, and the other was shot in the face at close range. Two were seriously injured, and one was knocked unconscious by Lin Chen's punch, suffering a severe concussion. One of them lost an arm and suffered severe internal injuries. Only the henchman who stood the furthest away and acted last became the only lucky one.

Although the leader was seriously injured, his eyes were still fierce: "Since you know I am a member of the Lei family, then you should know the consequences of offending the Lei family. You can't afford to take them!"

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Because you're a member of the Lei family, even if you try to harm me, I have to endure it. Even if I have the upper hand now and you're my prisoner, I can't do anything to you. Is that what you mean?"

The leading man looked at Lin Chen's smile and felt a sudden chill in his heart: "My name is Lei Chicheng, my father is Lei Chengshan, and I am the seventh son of the Lei family. I was blind to your greatness today and offended you. If you let me go, I will pretend that what happened to you hurt me today never happened. But if you kill me, you will not escape death either."

Lin Chen said calmly, "As a disciple of a family of cultivators, you are indeed very confident. Even when you are about to lose your life, you can still threaten people with great momentum."

Lei Chicheng said coldly, "I'm telling the truth. You are indeed quite capable in combat, but the Lei family is not one you can afford to offend."

"is it?"

Lin Chen smiled faintly, then suddenly lowered the gun barrel, aiming it at Lei Chicheng's knee, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

Lei Chicheng let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

This shot at close range shattered Lei Chicheng's kneecap; even if he didn't die, he would be crippled.

Lin Chen blew away the smoke from the gun barrel, turned his head, and looked at the knife-wielder whose face was as pale as paper: "And you, are you not going to say anything either?"

The knife-wielder trembled under Lin Chen's gaze, nearly wetting himself in fear. He blurted out, "I work for Brother Cheng. He called us today, so we came out to do something. I don't know the specifics; I'm just a henchman..."

Lin Chen said coldly, "How did you get on my car? Who contacted you?"

The knife-wielder dared not conceal anything: "I overheard Brother Cheng on the phone calling someone called Uncle Yue, which should be Lei Yue." Lin Chen asked, "Was Wang Jianbo involved?"

The knife-wielder looked blankly at him: "Who is Wang Jianbo? I don't know him. From beginning to end, Brother Cheng only called Uncle Yue. We drove to the hotel entrance and waited for you guys. After you came out, Uncle Yue pointed out our target, and then we followed your car..."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. Lei Yue had been confirmed as the mastermind behind today's operation, but whether Wang Jianbo was involved was still uncertain.

Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry; once he caught Lei Yue, all the answers would come to light.

Although Lei Chicheng was also a member of the Lei family, his identity was more like that of an executor or a henchman.

Lin Chen didn't ask any more questions. He casually pulled out the hunting rifle in his hand and struck the knife-wielder in the face. The knife-wielder immediately fell to the ground, his cheek swelling up instantly, spitting out a mouthful of blood and foam mixed with many teeth.

These scumbags have attacked me and Chu Jiaxue. Even though I don't want to kill them in front of Chu Jiaxue, they still have to pay a price.

"Jiaxue, let's go!"

Lin Chen walked up to Chu Jiaxue, naturally reached out, took her wrist, and pulled her outside.

Chu Jiaxue's body stiffened for a moment, but she did not resist, letting Lin Chen lead her towards the door.

Lin Chen retrieved his bag and phone from the doorway, glanced back at Lei Chicheng who was lying on the ground screaming in agony, and then left.

The Lei family knew that Lei Chicheng had taken action against them and Chu Jiaxue, so even if they killed all of these people, they wouldn't be able to silence them. Since that was the case, they decided not to kill them to avoid scaring Chu Jiaxue. After all, not every woman was like Gu Yuexi, with such thick skin and courage.

Anyway, Lei Chicheng is already crippled, so he has been punished.

After getting into the car and driving away from the house, Chu Jiaxue asked worriedly, "Those two people are dead, right? Will they be alright?"

Lin Chen comforted him, "I acted in self-defense. What could possibly happen? Besides, they are kidnappers. Would they dare to call the police?"

Chu Jiaxue hesitated, then gritted her teeth and said, "But isn't the Lei family very powerful? They'll definitely retaliate against you, right? Or, I'll sell my company shares, and we'll leave Pingjiang..."
