The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2427 Qi Jie's Old Acquaintance?
"who are you?"

Suddenly, Qi Jie's clear voice rang out from inside the Linglong Tower, cold and puzzled: "I don't know you."

The woman in red smiled sweetly: "Qi, is that you?"

Lin Chen was startled. If she had called out Sister Qi's name, then she must be an old acquaintance.

Are old acquaintances enemies or friends?

Qi's voice became more serious: "Do you know me? Are you with that group of people?"

The woman in red smiled and said, "Are you referring to the group that chased after your master back then?"

"Correct!"

The woman in red chuckled and said, "You fought against them all back then. If I were one of them, you would definitely remember me."

Qi was silent for a few seconds, then said coldly, "You were indeed not in the crowd back then. The fact that you can call out my name is not something everyone knows. Who exactly are you, and what is your relationship with my master?"

The woman in red chuckled lightly, "There is some connection, but even if I told you, you wouldn't know. So let me tell you, how did you suddenly reappear after disappearing for so long?"

Qi said coldly, "Don't expect to learn anything from me unless you reveal your identity."

The woman in red smiled and said, "I have no contact with you, but well, our relationship is somewhat special. I can tell you that I may not be considered your master's friend, but I am definitely not an enemy either."

Qi was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "What do you want to do?"

The woman in red laughed and said, "I never expected to meet you here. I heard your master died. Has your reappearance meant you've found a new master?"

Lin Chen's body suddenly relaxed, and he regained his freedom. Before he could speak, the woman in red had already swept her gaze over: "I saw you summon the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda earlier. Could it be that you are its new master?"

Lin Chen's heart calmed down at this moment, and his voice was very steady: "I am not Sister Qi's master, we are friends."

"friend?"

The woman in red chuckled and nodded: "Yes, she followed such an outstanding master, how could she bow down to anyone else? Back then, she wasn't even afraid of death. If her master hadn't sent her away, she probably would have fought until she collapsed and was completely destroyed."

Lin Chen nodded frankly: "Since you even know Sister Qi's name, and you're not an enemy, do you know what happened to her master?" The woman in red looked slightly surprised: "Wasn't her master dead?"

Lin Chen frowned. The woman's expression didn't seem fake, or rather, she didn't need to fake it at all. After all, she was the one in control here. Not to mention him, even if Sister Qi, Fu Yunzi and the others joined forces, they wouldn't be her match.

Seeing that Sister Qi remained silent, Lin Chen spoke up, "Yes, everyone says so, but no one can give an accurate account of the situation, such as how he died, whether his body still exists, and if so, where it is."

The woman in red nodded thoughtfully, her gaze returning to the exquisite tower: "It seems you refuse to believe your master's death, thinking he is still alive and wanting to find him again?"

Qi's voice was cold: "Yes, if he is really dead, I hope to find concrete evidence."

The woman in red didn't show any mockery. Instead, she nodded in agreement: "That's only right. He treated you like a daughter. Your relationship wasn't just that of a master and servant. I understand that you want to find out the truth about his death."

Qi said, "Since you say you're not the master's enemy, then release us..."

The woman in red gently tapped her chin with her index finger and chuckled, "He said he wasn't your master, yet he can summon and control the Linglong Tower. Is this a friendship contract you signed?"

"Yes!"

Qi answered calmly, and perhaps because it involved Lin Chen, she took the initiative to say, "He is not strong. No matter what your purpose is, he is of no use to you."

The woman in red chuckled, "He's indeed no good, but I'm quite interested in those guys in the tower. They're quite strong and would be very useful to me..."

Qi asked coldly, "What exactly do you want to do by setting up this spinning wheel secret realm?"

The woman in red smiled sweetly: "What else can I do? Naturally, I'll be the one to collect labor!"

Capture the labor force?

Lin Chen's eyes widened in astonishment, and he asked instinctively, "Why are you capturing laborers?"

The woman in red chuckled and said, "Of course, you'll help me with tasks. As for what those tasks will be, that depends on what I need right now. I have spatial abilities and can travel through countless worlds. I can't possibly do everything by myself, can I?"

Lin Chen subconsciously recalled the secret realm he had previously searched for the Yin-Yang Spring. That secret realm was also a world, but it was uninhabited. Master Taixu had also traveled through space and searched the entire world to find the Yin-Yang Spring. After the three sects, including Qingyuan City, found the secret realm, tens of thousands of disciples searched for it for a year and found countless treasures.

As a powerful being with spatial abilities, the woman in red could naturally travel through countless worlds. Could it be that she captured these people to serve as her subordinates and collect all sorts of good things from this world?
