The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 290 This guy knows how to place bets in advance.
Lin Chen gave him a thumbs up in surprise: "You're amazing!"

Lai Yiliang chuckled and turned to leave.

Lin Chen had only asked casually, but Lai Yiliang's answer, and so blatantly at that, clearly had the flavor of a pledge of allegiance.

After all, if Chu Songhui knew about this, even if he knew it was something from the past, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Are you two lovers conspiring to set me up?
The consequences of this are probably that he won't be able to be his classmate's lover anymore, and his assistant position will definitely be over. He might even get punished.

Lai Yiliang deliberately gave Lin Chen a handle to use against him. Otherwise, wouldn't it have been enough for him to simply answer that they were just classmates and good friends?
This guy really knows how to do things.

After Lai Yiliang left, Wang Zimin came to Lin Chen's side with a complicated expression.

While other people's contracts are 90% of the official guide price, his is 1.5 times, making it unique.

"Brother Chen, thank you. If it weren't for you today, we'd probably all be lying in the hospital right now."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Don't be shy. Fighting is just a piece of cake for me."

Wang Zimin asked worriedly, "Those people have powerful backers. Brother Chen, will you be in danger later?"

Lin Chen replied, "I already have conflicts with the Chu family behind Gaoneng Real Estate, so I don't care about adding this one more thing."

Wang Zimin lowered his voice: "Brother Chen, I know that contract was signed separately with me because of you, Brother Chen. I'll give you the extra money."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Take it. Find a wife and live a good life. I'm not short of money. Giving it to me is useless to you. I'm leaving!"

Wang Zimin quickly said, "It's hard to get a taxi here, I'll take you back."

"Row!"

The next morning, Lin Chen was sitting in the guard post playing on his phone when a familiar BMW X7 drove in from outside.

Chu Jiaxue has returned from Pingjiang.

With the car window half-open, Chu Jiaxue and Lin Chen's eyes met, and faint smiles appeared on their faces.

Although they didn't speak, their eyes conveyed a tacit understanding.

Lin Chen picked up his phone and sent a message to Chu Jiaxue.

Lin Chen: "You're back. Is everything alright at home?"

Chu Jiaxue: "Everything is fine. The company is free of those who are holding us back. Now the atmosphere is vibrant and positive, and it's easy to manage."

Lin Chen: "If the Chu family falls, are you interested in their businesses?"

Chu Jiaxue: "Revenge is my top priority." Lin Chen: "If it's confirmed that Chu Songfeng killed your parents, would you kill him?"

Chu Jiaxue: "Kill! If he can kill his own cousin, and Chu Tianyu can harm his cousin, then I can certainly kill them!"

Lin Chen: "Although you are not very interested in the Chu family's business, you can still consider it. The Chu family has failed, and the Chu family's business is destined to be divided up. We should naturally have a share. If you don't want it and give it up, it's the same as giving it away to others for free."

Chu Jiaxue: "My goal is revenge. I don't care about anything else. I'll listen to you."

Lin Chen: "I just thought of that. I just wanted to remind you so you can be mentally prepared. You still have time to think about whether you hate the Chu family, or if you hate only a small part of them or the whole family. Whatever decision you make, I will support you. As for the assets, they are useless to me. If you really don't want to have anything to do with the Chu family anymore, then I don't mind giving them away as a favor."

Chu Jiaxue: "Okay!"

Lin Chen put down his phone and fell into deep thought.

The discussions between the Xu and Leng families should have reached a conclusion by now, after all, several days have passed.

Lin Chen didn't rush to contact them. It was a matter of attitude; if he appeared too eager, he would be at a disadvantage in this collaboration.

Zhu Qin, Zuo Xu, Leng Wei, Lü Chu, and the eight great families of Linhai—three of them have sided with him. Will the Chu family hear the news and join forces with their allies to oppose him?

Based on what we know so far, the Zhu family and the Chu family seem to have no connection, but Lin Chen still can't get over Zhu Chong'an's attitude a couple of days ago.

The Zhu family has the only Grandmaster in Linhai, holding an extraordinary position and wielding immense influence. If the Zhu family were to stand up for the Chu family, things could take an unpredictable turn.

Lin Chen didn't intend to tell Xu Lengwei's family about his concerns, lest one of them back out immediately.

Just as Lin Chen was pondering, his phone screen flickered, and he received a message from an unknown number.

Lin Chen looked down and his pupils contracted slightly.

"Be careful these days. The Chu family may be planning something big, a swift and decisive strike—a friend who will come at a moment's notice."

A friend who comes whenever you call?

Lai Yiliang?
When he parted ways with himself, he described his relationship with that female classmate as "coming whenever he called".

I reminded him yesterday, and he tipped me off?
By clinging to the Chu family's coattails, he actually trusts himself more?

Lin Chen pondered for a moment. Perhaps Lai Yiliang knew that even if he failed, he wouldn't reveal his information to frame him. After all, as Lai Yiliang said, he was just a nobody and insignificant to the big picture. But now that Lai Yiliang was tipping him off, if Lin Chen won and the Chu family fell, wouldn't Lai Yiliang become a hero?

This guy's got some skills; he actually knows how to offer help when things are tough and placed his bet in advance!
