The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 273 He is not fighting alone

The Zuo siblings' perspective changed instantly.

Zuo Yingying said in shock, "You killed Chu Tianyu's bodyguard?"

Lin Chen nodded: "He wanted to kill me back then, but he underestimated my strength. Since that's the case, I naturally won't be merciful to him either."

Zuo Lin asked in surprise, "The Chu family hasn't made any moves yet?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. The Chu family is a large and powerful family, while I am just one person. If they are not confident in killing me and act rashly, they may not be able to afford my retaliation."

As the heir of the Zuo family, Zuo Lin naturally had a deep understanding of this balance of power and instantly grasped the key point: "Are you a Grandmaster of the Qi Refining Realm?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Zuo Lin's face showed a look of shock, and Zuo Yingying's mouth also opened slightly. They were both cultivators. Although Zuo Yingying's strength was relatively weak, they both knew very well what a young grandmaster of twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old meant.

genius!

Absolute genius!
If you're not absolutely certain you can crush such a person completely, the retaliation you'll face afterward will be absolutely unbearable.

Putting aside the fact that a Grandmaster is incredibly powerful and kills people like it's nothing, even if he doesn't bother with you now, what if he becomes even more powerful in ten or twenty years and advances to the Grandmaster level? Who could stop him when he comes back?

Slaughtering an entire family is not impossible.

It was precisely because of these concerns that the Chu family had remained inactive and had not caused trouble for Lin Chen.

This certainly doesn't mean the Chu family has compromised; they are simply looking for an opportunity to strike decisively. However, in the Linhai region, only the Zhu family, ranked first among the eight great families, has a single remaining Grandmaster. The other seven great families have varying numbers of Grandmasters, but none of them possess a Grandmaster.

Zuo Lin sighed, "No wonder Mr. Lin is so confident in the Chu family. Even the Chu family has to take the prestige of a Grandmaster seriously."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "They're just looking for an opportunity because they're afraid of hurting me. If they do find one, they'll strike me hard."

Zuo Lin nodded: "Who is Mr. Lin's school of thought?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I have no sect, only one master, whom you may have heard of, Xue Kuangren." Zuo Lin looked surprised, then smiled and said, "Mr. Lin's boldness is very similar to Mr. Xue's; they really are from the same lineage."

After dinner, Lin Chen left without mentioning the cooperation again.

Zuo Lin watched Lin Chen's car disappear and then turned to warn, "Yingying, Lin Chen is like an extremely sharp sword. If he doesn't hurt others, he will hurt himself. His battle with the Chu family is inevitable. I suggest you keep your distance from Lin Chen to avoid getting too involved."

Zuo Yingying pouted and said, "Lin Chen isn't afraid of anyone, so what are you afraid of? You rejected him, and he hasn't mentioned it again since."

Zuo Lin shook his head: "The Zuo family and the Chu family have no enmity or interests. It's best not to get involved and just wait and see. Judging from his confident demeanor, he may have already found a reliable helper."

Zuo Yingying asked curiously, "Did you guess?"

Zuo Lin shook his head: "He mentioned it briefly, but only touched on it briefly. He didn't try to persuade the Zuo family at all. I feel that he doesn't really care about the Zuo family joining. Maybe he just asked because of you. It's like poking a hole in the tree regardless of whether there are dates or not, just in case there's an unexpected gain."

Zuo Yingying thought for a moment: "Help, you mean the Wei family?"

Zuo Lin laughed, "If Lin Chen wants to deal with the Chu family, he will definitely have to join forces with the Wei family. Besides, didn't he help Xu Bin with his medical treatment? I think the medical treatment is just a pretext; the real reason is to join forces with the Xu family. The Xu family and the Chu family are fierce competitors in business, and he also saved Leng Yucheng's life, so there's a high probability that the Leng family will also join along with the Xu and Wei families..."

Zuo Yingying's eyes widened: "The Xu family, the Wei family, and the Leng family are joining forces against the Chu family?"

Zuo Lin said softly, "It's just a guess, but this is definitely the direction Lin Chen is going to join forces with. Since he's irreconcilably at odds with the Chu family, he can only survive by completely defeating the Chu family. Once the war starts, it will definitely not be a small-scale battle. The Chu family's business has nothing to do with the Zuo family. Even if we get involved, the benefits we can gain are too little. It's not worth it."

Zuo Yingying said with bright eyes, "Lin Chen is too amazing! In such a short time, he has already gotten to know and united almost half of the eight major families?"

Zuo Lin smiled and said, "Such a young grandmaster has unlimited potential. Moreover, he is also a divine physician. From the perspective of making friends, such a person is absolutely worth befriending. Furthermore, since he can form alliances, he must have matching forces at his disposal, not just his own strength."

"Lin Chen's master, Xue Kuangren, is arrogant and has offended many sects, but he has also made many friends. They are the kind of true friends who would go to great lengths for each other. If something really happens, Xue Kuangren can probably summon a group of grandmasters to help him fight."

"Although Lin Chen may appear to be alone, he is not actually fighting alone."

Zuo Yingying said with a smile, "Is this the advantage of having a powerful backer?"
