The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 165 Are you afraid, or feel uncomfortable?

When Lin Chen entered the room, Chu Jiaxue was sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book.

"I'm home."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'll take a shower first."

As Lin Chen turned around, Chu Jiaxue clearly saw a large, spray-like patch of bright red blood on his T-shirt, and her expression changed slightly.

"You are hurt?"

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback and turned his head: "You're not injured, why do you ask?"

Chu Jiaxue breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell her the truth: "There is blood on the back of your clothes."

Lin Chen blinked and smiled slightly, "It belongs to someone else."

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips and nodded gently: "It's good that you're not hurt. Go take a shower first."

"it is good!"

When Lin Chen finished showering and returned to bed, Chu Jiaxue was already lying down, leaving Lin Chen with an infinitely beautiful and graceful silhouette.

Lin Chen turned off the light and lay down as well.

Chu Jiaxue's breathing was uneven; it was obvious she wasn't asleep.

Lin Chen suddenly spoke up: "The blood belongs to the Lei family. Today they were planning to wipe out another cultivator family, the Han family. Someone from the Han family, with whom I have a decent relationship, called me for help, so I rushed over and helped the Han family destroy the Lei family."

Chu Jiaxue turned over in surprise, staring intently at Lin Chen: "Destroyed? What do you mean?"

Lin Chen explained, "There's an unspoken rule in the struggles between cultivator families: the victor won't exterminate the entire family of the loser, since many of the elderly, weak, women, and children are innocent. The victor will only strip the loser of all their cultivation abilities. Simply put, they'll cripple all the cultivators, turning them into ordinary people and forcing them to leave the cultivator family."

"The Lei family brought in a powerful ally today, mobilizing their entire force. They even found an excuse to gather all the Han family cultivators together, intending to wipe out the Han family in one fell swoop and remove them from the cultivation world. If I hadn't gone today, the Lei family would have succeeded."

Chu Jiaxue looked at Lin Chen in shock: "So, the Lei family members have all become ordinary people?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I only killed Lei Yue first, who was the person we met at the restaurant yesterday. He was also the mastermind behind yesterday's operation against us."

"Lei Gong, the head of the Lei family, offered that powerful ally more money to kill me. After I killed him, I told Lei Gong that as long as he died, the other members of the Lei family would have their cultivation crippled and could save their lives. But they refused and even ganged up on me. Since that was the case, I naturally didn't hold back and killed everyone who attacked me, including Lei Gong." "Fifteen or sixteen people from the Lei family went, and in the end, five or six were left. They were captured by the Han family, had their cultivation crippled, and were spared their lives. After this battle, the Lei family was wiped out of the cultivator world."

Chu Jiaxue was horrified: "You killed so many people, won't you be in trouble?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "The Han family will handle everything. Besides, they surrounded and killed me, and I fought back. According to my actions, it was self-defense. I can't just stand by and let them kill me."

Chu Jiaxue breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed with a sigh, "It's good that you're alright... Is the world of cultivators so cruel, where people take lives and wipe out entire families so easily?"

"Where in life is there no battlefield? Isn't the business world you've been to just like a battlefield, where people can easily go bankrupt and never recover? The battles of a cultivator are just more direct."

Seeing Chu Jiaxue's shocked expression, Lin Chen smiled and comforted her, "The struggles between cultivators aren't as exaggerated as you think. The Tian family, the Lei family, and the Han family have been coexisting peacefully for forty or fifty years. It's just that the Han family has declined in recent years, which is why the Lei family has the idea of ​​annexing the Han family."

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips: "I just feel like so much has happened in such a short time, one thing after another, and each one is so frightening."

Lin Chen smiled and replied, "That's because I'm a variable. Otherwise, many things wouldn't have caused any trouble. With their power, things could have been done quietly without alerting anyone."

Chu Jiaxue thought about it carefully and realized that this made sense. Whether it was Zhao Yiheng or the Lei family, it would have been too easy for them to deal with her alone.

If it weren't for Lin Chen's intervention, I would have fallen into their trap silently and been destroyed without a trace.

Because of Lin Chen, Chu Jiaxue had the opportunity to see how things unfolded from Lin Chen's perspective. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been killed instantly, with no chance to fight back or even turn the tables.

Chu Jiaxue said softly, "What if one day you encounter someone you can't beat?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If you can't beat them, just run away. I'm not stupid. I'm not only good at fighting, but I'm also good at escaping. A few years ago, when I was on a mission, I was chased by dozens of experts who chased me for hundreds of kilometers. In the end, I still managed to escape."

"if……"

Chu Jiaxue had just uttered two words when she immediately shut her mouth.

They weren't even a couple, so saying something like "if we were in danger together, and I told Lin Chen to run away first and not worry about me" seemed a bit pretentious and awkward.

Lin Chen couldn't guess why Chu Jiaxue hesitated. After a few seconds of silence, he asked softly, "I've killed so many people, and we're still lying in the same bed. Are you scared, or do you feel uncomfortable?"
