The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2172 If you don’t do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.
Lei Hong fell silent.

Fu Zongjing's words make a lot of sense. Even if one is loyal and unyielding, what difference does it make if one is willing to die rather than submit?
Can it change the inevitable destruction of the Three Saints Sect?
If Lei Hong hadn't seen this black dragon whose strength had increased to the fifth level of perfection in such a short time, he might still have been conflicted. After all, as long as Yu Shoudao was still alive, the Three Saints Sect still had hope. But now, does Yu Shoudao still have hope?
Although Heilong's strength seems to be roughly equal to Yu Shoudao's, Lin Chen's ability to fight his way up from nothing to this level shows how formidable his methods are. Now, with so many inside agents, Yu Shoudao is completely unaware. He is destined to be tricked like himself, and losing or even dying is already a foregone conclusion.

The most subtle thing about this whole thing is that rebirth will result in the loss of memory. Otherwise, if someone were to rebirth and tell Yu Shoudao what happened, perhaps Yu Shoudao would have a way to deal with it, instead of being so passive as he is now.

"How do you plan to deal with the sect leader?"

Fu Zongjing sighed: "Don't you and I know the sect leader well? If we betray him or even lay a hand on him, do you think he would let us go if there was even the slightest chance?"

Lei Hong was speechless. Yes, they all knew him very well.

Yu Shoudao is ruthless. As long as he lives, those who betrayed him will inevitably become his primary target for revenge, and the priority of revenge will even be higher than that of Lin Chen.

Fu Zongjing advised, "Old Lei, surrender. Everyone looks out for themselves. Besides, we only surrendered because we had no other choice. Think about it from his perspective: if he were faced with the choice between killing us and dying himself, what would he choose?"

Lei Hong was initially quite conflicted, but after hearing what Fu Zongjing said, he suddenly felt enlightened.

Yes, if Yu Shoudao had chosen at this moment, would his choice have been obvious?

Although this was just a setup, it also shows that he wasn't actually that good to us, so it's normal for me to choose to betray him when I had no other choice.

People always need to find a legitimate reason for their behavior. Once they find that reason, they will feel at ease and will no longer be conflicted.

Lei Hong looked up: "Okay, I surrender."

Fu Zongjing breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

Become!

If one person does something bad, then we should all do it together, so that no one can blame anyone else!

Inside the main hall, Lin Chen met Lei Hong.

Lei Hong's expression was somewhat complicated, but he still bowed respectfully and said, "Lei Hong greets Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin is incredibly resourceful and wise. I admire you and am willing to follow you." Lin Chen smiled and said, "Good!"

Lei Hong readily offered his true soul, fulfilling the contract and entrusting his life to Lin Chen.

"Old Fu, Old Lei, you two know Yu Shoudao best. What do you think we should do next?"

Fu Zongjing, whom Lin Chen had designated as the sect leader, was the most eager to eliminate Yu Shoudao. Without hesitation, he replied, "If our strength is sufficient, we can lure him out of the sect, completely capture him, and then return to the sect to take down the remaining Grand Luo Venerables. In this way, the Three Saints Sect will be completely overthrown, and those below the Grand Luo level will naturally follow suit..."

Lin Chen nodded: "Good idea. What reason do you plan to use to lure them out?"

Fu Zongjing had clearly thought about it beforehand and answered without hesitation: "Actually, there's no need to lure him. He was going out to attend a party soon anyway. With Liu Chong and the others around, we don't need to worry about not knowing when he'll be leaving. What we need to do is set up an ambush and try to capture him directly."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up slightly: "Who is he going to visit?"

Fu Zongjing replied, "The sect leader of Liuyun Sect invited us. Most of the leaders of the surrounding forces will attend. It's a routine gathering, and the main purpose is to facilitate communication between sects regarding mineral and medicinal herb transactions."

Lin Chen nodded: "Okay, we'll do as you say. I'll show myself to lure him out, and as for the bait..."

Lin Chen looked at Fu Zongjing and Lei Hong in front of him and smiled gently: "It's naturally the two of you. I just don't know if he cares about your life or death."

Fu Zongjing and Lei Hong exchanged a glance, probably guessing what Lin Chen was thinking, and their feelings were quite complicated.

Lin Chen roughly guessed what the two were thinking and smiled, "Don't worry, I basically won't ask you to take action, so you don't need to feel guilty."

No need for me to take action?

Although they knew that there was a Black Dragon at the Great Perfection of the Fifth Realm, and that the two of them at the Third Realm could only play a supporting role and had no chance of facing Yu Shoudao head-on, they were still relieved to receive Lin Chen's assurance.

Firstly, as traitors, they were indeed in an awkward position. Secondly, Yu Shoudao was a Great Perfection cultivator; if they faced him head-on, wouldn't that be like handing him over for nothing?
