The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 272 If he hadn't run fast, they would have all been wiped out!
“This is my brother, Zuo Lin.”

"Brother, this is Lin Chen, my friend."

Zuo Lin was tall and slender with a refined and scholarly air. He looked like a frail scholar, but Lin Chen could tell from his every move that he was not only a cultivator, but also a master.

Furthermore, cultivators who lack exceptional talent are unlikely to become the heir to a family lineage.

Cultivation is the foundation of our family!
Zuo Lin smiled and shook hands with Lin Chen, his attitude humble, but Lin Chen could sense a subtle scrutiny in his eyes.

This scrutiny is not the wariness one feels towards a stranger, but rather the wary and guarded scrutiny a brother gives to his sister's close male friend.

Lin Chen remained calm, allowing the other party to scrutinize him.

If Lin Chen and Zuo Yingying hadn't slept together, Lin Chen would probably have said directly, "Don't worry about me, I'm married, I have a wife." But now, even though she knows his situation, Lin Chen still lacks the confidence to say that.

If Zuo Lin were to say something like, "You have a wife, yet you're still doing this with my sister," Lin Chen wouldn't know how to respond.

The three sat down, and the food and drinks were served. Lin Chen picked up his wine glass and said with a smile, "Mr. Zuo, I apologize for the trouble I caused you with the raw materials for the pharmaceutical factory."

Zuo Lin smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, you're too kind. It was nothing. Yingying asked, so as her brother, I had to oblige her, didn't I?"

Zuo Lin's words were a response to Lin Chen, but also a way of telling Lin Chen that he helped because of his sister, and it had nothing to do with him.

Lin Chen didn't care. It was just polite for him to say he had a cold, and whether others cared or not was their own business.

After chatting for a while and eating, Zuo Lin got down to business: "Yingying told me you wanted to talk to me about something?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Before we talk, I'd like to ask, what is the Zuo family's attitude towards the Chu family?"

Although Lin Chen had asked Zuo Yingying this question, Zuo Yingying was, after all, a woman and did not concern herself with family affairs. As the family heir, Zuo Lin naturally had more comprehensive and accurate information and was clearer about things beneath the surface.

Zuo Lin stared intently at Lin Chen: "You want to deal with the Chu family?"

From Zuo Yingying's words, we learned that Lin Chen is a master cultivator and a racing expert, and his medical skills seem to be quite good as well. After being targeted by the Chu family, it is only natural that he wants to take revenge on them.

Lin Chen smiled but didn't answer. He just stared at Zuo Lin, waiting for his reply.

After a two-second silence, Zuo Lin smiled and said, "I know you and Yingying have a good relationship, but our Zuo family has no grudges against the Chu family. We can help with minor matters, but the Zuo family won't do anything truly targeted. There's no need to stir up trouble." Lin Chen smiled and said, "Even if the Chu family is confirmed to be wiped out, the Zuo family still won't take action, is that right?"

Zuo Lin and Zuo Yingying both stared wide-eyed at Lin Chen in shock.

The Chu family was wiped out?
They just intercepted some raw materials, such a small business transaction, and they want to wipe out the Chu family?
Do you think the Chu family is as easy as cabbage, something you can wipe out at will?

Zuo Yingying asked in surprise, "The Chu family is a deeply rooted cultivation family. It can't be destroyed by defeating or killing someone. Moreover, once you make a move, their counterattack will be very powerful. Besides, it's just a business transaction. It shouldn't be that serious, right?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "My conflict with the Chu family is not about cutting off the raw materials this time. Chu Tianyu had previously come to Pingjiang and tried to kill us several times. The Chu family and I are destined to be enemies. This business transaction was also a test by the Chu family after I spoke with Chu Songfeng on the phone."

Zuo Lin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Chu Jiaxue is a member of the Chu family and was involved in the previous internal strife within the Chu family. Are you helping your wife?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Yes, I want to help her get revenge and take everything back for her."

Lin Chen did not mention his background; he would not tell anyone except Chu Jiaxue and Gu Yuexi.

Let everyone think that I'm helping Chu Jiaxue, so as to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Zuo Lin frowned and said, "Chu Jiaxue is still a member of the Chu family. How will you end this by dealing with the Chu family like this?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "When the Chu family was expelled from the cultivation family, those who should have paid the price have already paid the price. Chu Jiaxue has returned to the Chu family, taking what she should have and providing corresponding protection. I think the remaining Chu family members will accept it. People have to live, don't they?"

Zuo Lin smiled and said, "If the Chu family fails, then all of this will indeed be a matter of course. However, the Chu family is not so easy to deal with. My Zuo family has no grudge against the Chu family, and there is no need for us to get involved. Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, I can't help you with this matter."

Lin Chen smiled and raised his glass: "Alright, let's drink. Then pretend I didn't mention it."

Looking at Lin Chen's undisappointed eyes, Zuo Lin chuckled and said, "Mr. Lin seems quite confident, judging from your composed demeanor."

Since the Zuo family was unwilling to get involved, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't reveal the situation of the other families to avoid the news getting out.

"The Chu family is indeed deeply rooted, but they are not that difficult to deal with. I killed Chu Tianyu's bodyguard Chen Huai in Pingjiang. If Chu Tianyu hadn't run away quickly, he would have killed him as well. Now he's still alive and well."
