The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2975 Whoever wants my life, I will take their life!
Faced with Zhou Daoyuan's question, Zhou Daocang remained silent for two seconds before calmly saying, "If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext. I did not instruct the Zhao family to kill Lin Chen. This matter has nothing to do with me."

Upon hearing Zhou Daocang's words, the three members of the Zhao family on the ground all looked up in grief and indignation, glaring at him angrily.

"Seventh Young Master, this matter started because of you, you must stand up for us!"

"Seventh Young Master, do you know that my Zhao family has been wiped out because of this? You must avenge me!"

"If it weren't for your secret instigation, we have no grudge against Lin Chen, so why would we go after him? You can't deny it!"

The Zhou family members all paled.

The Zhao family was wiped out?

Zhou Daoyuan stared at Lin Chen and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you wiped out the Zhao family?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Since they can assassinate me with impunity, there's nothing wrong with me killing a few of them in return, right? I don't think anyone would stand up for them and say I did something wrong, right?"

Zhou Daoyuan frowned and said, "It's definitely the Zhao family's fault for attacking you, but wasn't it a bit much for you to slaughter the Zhao family? After all, there were many innocent people involved."

Lin Chen chuckled: "When I destroyed the Zhao family, I meant to remove them from the cultivation world. Apart from the five high-grade Grand Luo Immortals who knew about and participated in the assassination of me, who must die, I spared the rest. I promised that as long as they did not resist and had their cultivation crippled, I would spare their lives."

Zhou Daoyuan's expression relaxed slightly: "So, you didn't kill them all?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Of course not. Apart from a few immortals who were unwilling to have their cultivation abolished and who relied on their strength to force a breakthrough in order to escape and be destroyed by me, the others are all alive and well."

Zhou Daocang felt a chill in his heart. Although the Zhao family was not a top-tier wealthy family, they still had more than a dozen Great Luo Immortals. And they were gone in the blink of an eye.
What a fierce counterattack!
Zhou Tianlin said coldly, "A cultivator's strength is more important than their life. What's the difference between crippling their cultivation and killing them?"

Lin Chen glanced coldly at Zhou Tianlin: "What, do you think I'm cold-blooded and ruthless? When they tried to kill me twice, they didn't hold back at all. Now that it's your turn to pay the price, you start talking about benevolence and morality?"

Zhou Tianlin was speechless.

The Immortal Realm is a dog-eat-dog world. If Lin Chen were weaker, the Zhao family could wipe him out like a speck of dust. Who would care? Who would stand up for Lin Chen out of a sense of justice?
Lin Chen is stronger; he killed the Zhao family in retaliation. What's wrong with that?

Lin Chen turned to look at Zhou Daoyuan and said calmly, "When I met the Palace Master before, he asked about the conflict in the Quartermaster Department..."

The three members of the Zhou family widened their eyes in surprise.

The Palace Master already knows about this?

Zhou Daocang felt a chill run down his spine and a deep sense of regret welled up inside him.

The Palace Master actually values ​​Lin Chen so much?

Why couldn't I swallow my pride and had to take action?

Chen Quan and his gang of thieves endured being humiliated by Lin Chen on the street, didn't they?
Why can't I stand it?
A fleeting hint of nervousness crossed Zhou Daoyuan's face: "What did the Palace Master say?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "When the Palace Master asked for my opinion, I said it was a minor matter and didn't require the Palace Master's intervention. However, these people have powerful backgrounds, and if something else happens later, I, with no background of my own, would be at a disadvantage."

"The Palace Master told me that within the War God's Palace, as long as I act righteously and stand on the side of reason, he will not let me suffer any injustice..."

Zhou Daoyuan's expression changed slightly, and his gaze suddenly became much more serious. Zhou Tianlin's expression changed drastically, his brows furrowed, while Zhou Daocang's face began to turn pale.

The Palace Master himself said that he would not let Lin Chen suffer any injustice.

So now Lin Chen is the one who's been wronged, isn't he?
He repeatedly fought and made meritorious contributions against the demons, but was betrayed by his own people. To put it mildly, this is a personal grudge; to put it more seriously, he is a traitor to the immortal realm!

Zhou Daocang was in a state of confusion. Such things were common, so why did he only run into a brick wall?
Zhou Daoyuan was silent for a few seconds, then asked in a deep voice, "So, according to Fellow Daoist Lin, how should this matter be handled?"

Lin Chen turned and glanced at Zhou Daocang, then calmly said, "I said I want justice. Whoever wants my life will pay with their own!"

Zhou Daocang could no longer hold back and roared, "You're dreaming! You're saying everything I did, so produce the evidence! If you can't produce the evidence, then you can say whatever you want!"

Lin Chen looked at Zhou Daocang with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot: "Zhou Daocang, do you think I'm playing around with you here, playing a game of finding evidence? I know you did it, and that's enough. Evidence is completely unimportant!"

Zhou Daocang felt a chill in his heart. Yes, this was the immortal realm where the strong preyed on the weak!

They're not ordinary people; they need clear evidence to determine whether someone has committed a crime. Why would immortals need to go through all that trouble?

If I'm strong enough, then if I say the truth is this way, then that's it. Even if it's not, then that's all that matters!

Zhou Daoyuan frowned: "Fellow Daoist Lin, my Zhou family needs to investigate and verify this matter. If what you say is true, I will report to the family head and give you an explanation."

Lin Chen stared at Zhou Daoyuan: "So you mean, Young Master, you can't make this decision, is that right?"

Zhou Daoyuan smiled wryly and said, "I am not the head of the family. Such an important matter naturally needs to be handled by the head of the family. Otherwise, how can others be convinced?"

Lin Chen nodded slowly: "I understand. In other words, although the eldest young master is representing the Zhou family to oversee the War God's Mansion, you have no authority to handle this matter. So, my visit today will not yield any results, right?"

Zhou Daoyuan said apologetically, "The matter happened suddenly, Fellow Daoist Lin, please give me some time."

Lin Chen asked, "How long will it take?"

"One week..."

Looking at Lin Chen's aloof face, Zhou Daoyuan felt a strange unease rise in his heart: "I will verify it myself. Three days. The Zhou family will definitely give Fellow Daoist Lin an answer in three days."

Lin Chen nodded: "Three days, is that right? Okay, then please come with me, Seventh Young Master!"

Zhou Daoyuan frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Chen sneered and pointed at the three people on the ground: "The witnesses are all there, it's a clear matter, yet you want to take several days to handle it. Although I understand your so-called procedure, even if you finish verifying the matter in a few days, do you think Zhou Daocang will still be here waiting to die?"

"Will his father, his mother, his elders watch him die?"

"Will you give me an answer then, saying that after verification, the matter is true, but Zhou Daocang has disappeared without a trace, and you are extremely sorry, and can only compensate me with something else..."

"Young Master, tell me, is it possible that what I'm describing will come true? Do you dare swear an oath to Heaven that Zhou Daocang will still obediently appear before me three days from now?"
