The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 294 What time is it? Still not behaving yourself?

"I was beaten by the Chu family. Luckily, I noticed in time and called Han Wei to save me, otherwise I would probably be in even worse shape today."

Lin Chen grimaced as he took off his clothes. His body had multiple abrasions and bleeding, as well as many long cuts from being scraped by broken bricks.

These wounds weren't actually very serious, since he was protected by internal energy, but because of their large area and number, Lin Chen's upper body looked covered in scars, which was quite frightening.

Lin Chen found a pair of shorts, stood up, and said, "My head is covered in dust, I'm going to wash my hair."

Chu Jiaxue stood up and said, "The wound shouldn't get wet. Let me help you."

Lin Chen did not refuse: "Okay."

The two went to the bathroom. Chu Jiaxue picked up a bath towel and draped it over Lin Chen's shoulders to cover the wounds on his shoulders and back. Then she picked up the faucet, lowered the position, and adjusted the water temperature.

Lin Chen squatted down while Chu Jiaxue helped him rinse his hair with water, and they finished washing it together.

Chu Jiaxue then put water in the washbasin, soaked the washcloth, wrung it out, and carefully avoided the wounds on Lin Chen's body as she cleaned the dust and stains off his body.

Chu Jiaxue treated the wounds very carefully. Looking at the wounds on her body, Chu Jiaxue's eyes were filled with pity, and her eyes even reddened slightly.

"Does it hurt?"

Chu Jiaxue moved gently, afraid of hurting Lin Chen.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "A little, but not too painful. For a cultivator, it's nothing."

Chu Jiaxue asked, "What's going on? How did the Chu family make their move?"

Lin Chen explained the situation that night: "I can barely hold my own against the oldest one. I can easily take on one of the two weaker ones by myself, but I can't beat all three of them together."

Chu Jiaxue asked worriedly, "Will they take any further action?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "They should be the ones who are afraid now. They are definitely worried that I will retaliate."

Chu Jiaxue put the dirty washcloth into the boiling water and scrubbed it, asking, "Do you know how?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "There's no need. We all have our own concerns right now. Let's wait and see. Taking revenge on one or two people will only make things more out of control."

Chu Jiaxue was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "Because of me?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "Yes and no. If I launch a retaliatory attack in advance, it will only make them more cautious and prepared, making it even more difficult to wipe them out in one fell swoop. It will make them think that I am afraid to act, and then it will be easier to succeed if I suddenly launch a full-force attack."

After wiping his upper body clean, Chu Jiaxue looked at the injury on Lin Chen's leg, her face slightly flushed: "Take off your outer pants." Lin Chen smiled and took the towel: "I can do it myself, it's not a big problem."

Chu Jiaxue wanted to say something, but Lin Chen pressed her shoulder and pushed her out of the bathroom.

Soon, Lin Chen changed into a pair of shorts and emerged covered in wounds, but after cleaning himself up, he was no longer as disheveled as before.

Lin Chen, shirtless, displayed his well-defined six-pack abs, showcasing his masculine charm.

Although the wound was glaring, it added a touch of primal, wild charm to Lin Chen.

Chu Jiaxue's heart skipped a beat. She quickly composed herself, picked up the first-aid kit Lin Chen had bought, and used iodine to clean and disinfect Lin Chen's wound.

The wounds weren't big; they were just scratches and abrasions, not large open wounds, so stitches weren't needed. After disinfection, some ointment was applied, and that was enough.

After Chu Jiaxue finished treating her back, Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'll take care of the rest."

Chu Jiaxue refused: "I'll do it! I can't help much anyway, so let me do these little things for you. It will make me feel better."

Seeing Chu Jiaxue's distressed expression, Lin Chen comforted her, "This injury is nothing. I've carried out missions in the past that were much more dangerous than this, and I'm still fine, aren't I?"

Chu Jiaxue said in a low voice, "But if you hadn't been careful enough today, maybe..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Even if Han Wei doesn't come, I can still escape. I might have to lie in bed for a month or two. Unless it's a Grandmaster, it won't be that easy for anyone to kill me. Don't worry, I'm tough. The Chu family can't take me away!"

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips and carefully continued to treat Lin Chen's wounds as she went down the path.

Chu Jiaxue kept her head down, her movements focused and earnest, completely unaware that the collar of her bathrobe had already been opened quite a bit.

Lin Chen looked down and saw a blinding white expanse.

The cotton swab touched the wound, causing a slight sting, and at the same time, a strange feeling rose within me. After all, such a stunning beauty was right before my eyes, her breath almost audible…

Chu Jiaxue suddenly stopped moving, her face flushing bright red.

She noticed Lin Chen's unusual expression and awkwardly looked up, only to meet Lin Chen's equally embarrassed and hesitant gaze.

Chu Jiaxue snapped out of her daze, looked down, and her eyes immediately filled with embarrassment and annoyance.

Chu Jiaxue reached up and adjusted her collar, rolled her eyes at Lin Chen, and snorted, "What time is it? Still not behaving yourself?"
