The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 214 My Father's Life Isn't That Cheap
"Mr. Lin, you possess such remarkable skills at such a young age. May I ask where you learned them?"

Leng Ying smiled and clinked glasses with Lin Chen: "As far as I know, even in the cultivation world, there are very few people with such medical skills."

Lin Chen answered frankly, "My master is Xue Kuangren."

Leng Ying's face showed surprise, her eyes suddenly brightening: "So you're Master Xue's disciple. No wonder! Master Xue's medical skills are renowned throughout the entire cultivation world, and his strength is unparalleled in both medicine and martial arts..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "My master is straightforward. He speaks and acts bluntly, which has offended quite a few people, not including the Leng family, right?"

Leng Ying smiled and said, "I have heard about Mr. Xue's character. He lives up to his name as a 'madman.' He is a rare and genuine man. The Leng family has never had any dealings with Mr. Xue, but we have long admired his reputation."

Lin Chen revealed his background for two reasons: firstly, there was no need to hide it, and secondly, he was also preparing to form an alliance with the Leng family.

People with strength and background are more likely to be valued. Lin Chen naturally doesn't need to reveal his background to ordinary people, but the Leng family is qualified to know.

To completely crush, cripple, or even eliminate the Chu family, Lin Chen alone cannot do it; he needs helpers.

The Leng family is a powerful clan in Linhai, wielding considerable influence and power in the cultivation world, as well as in government and the military. If the Leng family were willing to help, it would be a significant asset.

Although Lin Chen is a formidable individual, killing a person might be relatively easy for him, but to completely crush a powerful clan, brute force alone is clearly insufficient.

Knowing Lin Chen's background, Leng Ying became even more friendly and enthusiastic, and the meal ended happily for everyone.

As the dinner was drawing to a close, Leng Ying placed a bank card in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen, holding his wine glass, glanced at the bank card and chuckled, "What's going on?"

Leng Ying smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand. This card is not a thank-you gift from the Leng family. My father's life is not that cheap. This is a thank-you gift that Zhang Xuan asked me to give to you. She said she would reward you handsomely when she asked you to help. Since you made a promise, you should keep it. Moreover, you saved my father this time, which actually helped her a lot. It is only right that she is grateful to you."

Lin Chen nodded. If the money came from the Leng family, it meant that the Leng family might not want to have much involvement or connection with him. Lin Chen would accept it, but after accepting it, he would not consider having any further contact with the Leng family.

Leng Ying's statement was very reassuring. "You saved my father's life. The Leng family won't offer money as a reward, but we'll remember this great favor and will repay it in no time." "How is she?"

Leng Ying smiled and said, "My father's illness was partly her fault, but the main reason was my father's old illness. No matter what her mindset was at the time, she did her best to save my father, and my father was out of danger. He even met Mr. Lin because of this, which can be considered a blessing in disguise. So my father did not make things difficult for her, and even continued to spend money to support her. Therefore, you should take this, Mr. Karin."

Since Leng Ying had said so, Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony: "Alright, then I'll accept it."

Leng Ying smiled and clinked glasses with Lin Chen: "Mr. Lin, your medical skills are superb. What are your thoughts on my father's chronic illness?"

Lin Chen had anticipated this step and answered without any surprise, "His lungs were likely injured by internal energy during a fight in the past. Although he received treatment, it wasn't fully healed. Over the years, this has led to hidden injuries, and by the time it was discovered, it was probably too late to reverse the damage..."

Leng Ying nodded, looking at Lin Chen expectantly: "Is there a cure?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It can be cured. Acupuncture and medication can show results in half a month, but to be completely cured, it will take at least half a year. After all, chronic diseases are difficult to cure completely and require slow recuperation."

Leng Ying asked in surprise, "Can it be cured?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Leng Ying immediately became agitated. His father had been suffering from this illness for many years, and it was because of his physical condition that there were now voices in the family saying that he was no longer suitable to lead the family forward and that a new family head needed to be chosen. This was naturally an unacceptable result for Leng Yucheng and his son.

If Lin Chen could cure Leng Yucheng's illness and restore him to health, with his strength and methods as a cultivator, he could easily serve as the head of the Leng family for at least another ten years. After ten years, Leng Ying would have even greater power and a more stable position in the family, making it easier for him to take over as the head of the Leng family.

“Mr. Lin, my father has suffered a lot because of this illness, and many members of our family have also expressed their dissatisfaction. Please lend us your help, and my father and I will repay you handsomely.”

Lin Chen readily agreed, "No problem."

When Leng Ying saw that Lin Chen agreed, she breathed a long sigh of relief and said sincerely, "I will not talk to Mr. Lin about money. Mr. Lin is not short of money. I just want to say one thing: if Mr. Lin needs anything, just say the word, and my father and I will do our best to help."
