The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3080 Foster Father!

"I trust you, go ahead."

Lin Chen readily agreed without uttering any threats.

The way out has already been given to Bai Manmei. If she really wants to die, there's nothing that can be done. Besides, if Bai Manmei wanted to keep Lin Chen and the others here, she would have had many opportunities to leak information before.

Along the way, Bai Manmei has gone to the Mercenary Association alone more than once. If she really wanted to sell herself, she would have done so long ago.

Although this was the first time Lin Chen had heard about the specific guards of Demon Saint Valley, he already had a preliminary idea in his mind.

Demon Saint Valley can only be conquered through strategy, not by brute force!
Since there are quasi-saints guarding the area, any conflict would attract powerful figures from the Demon God Palace. Therefore, the best approach is to lure the quasi-saints away and then deal with the other powerful demon lords. This would make things much simpler.

To lure the tiger away from the mountain, one must first find out the specific information about this quasi-saint and what kind of information is needed to make the other party hastily leave their post.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be safe in a hundred battles!
White Cranberry quietly departed, while Lin Chen hid in the wilderness, waiting patiently.

……

As dusk fell, White Cranberry, her face veiled by a hood, entered the city. Looking at the familiar scene, a complex expression appeared in her eyes.

This is the headquarters of the Mercenary Association, and also the place where she grew up.

Instead of returning to the mercenary guild headquarters, she headed towards the north of the city.

In a rather large but rather old-fashioned mansion, an elderly man with white hair was sweeping the entrance. When he saw the white cranberries, a look of surprise and delight appeared on his face.

"Miss?"

White Blossom didn't take off her hood, but simply hummed softly, "Mmm."

The white-haired old man looked happy, put away his broom, and quickly opened the slightly ajar door completely.

White Cranberry walked through the gate, her gaze sweeping across the courtyard ahead, a look of melancholy in her eyes.

This is where she grew up. After she grew up, she rarely returned here. Only on certain special occasions would she quietly return.

Is Godfather here?

The white-haired old man replied, "Yes, but he's always been in the backyard. I haven't seen him for a long time."

A look of joy appeared in Bai Manmei's eyes, but it quickly turned into hesitation.

If I were to actually ask him, would it implicate him, leading him to betray the demon race, help humans enter the demon race's forbidden area, and steal the demon race's treasures? That crime would be enough to wipe out the entire race!
I could simply run away, but would that implicate him?
Just as Bai Manmei hesitated, a steady voice suddenly rang in her mind.

"You're back. What are you doing standing at the door? Come to the backyard."

Bai Manmei was startled, pursed her lips, and slowly took a breath.

She walked directly through the front yard and followed the slightly dilapidated bluestone path to the back yard. The back yard gate was locked. She took a step, her body floated up, and she lightly leaped over the wall, landing in the yard.

She walked along the path for a while, and then a mist appeared ahead, which was a concealment formation in the backyard.

She had been here countless times, so she knew the way like the back of her hand.

After passing through the mist, the view cleared up to reveal a spacious room with the door open. A middle-aged man was lying on a chair with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

Bai Manmei walked up to the middle-aged man and bowed respectfully: "Godfather."

The middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Bai Manmei. After a long while, he asked, "Why did you suddenly come back?"

Bai Manmei hesitated. Her godfather was very clever; if she spoke up, the matter would likely be exposed.

If they didn't have something on their mind about Demon Saint Valley, who would deliberately inquire about the guardians of Demon Saint Valley?

But if there's anyone else who can tell me this information, that person is the man right in front of me.

What would the godfather do?
Killing relatives for righteousness?

Have you never seen yourself?

The middle-aged man calmly looked at Bai Manmei, without urging her, and waited quietly.

A few seconds later, Bai Manmei smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've been back. I've come back to see my godfather."

Forget it, I'll just say I didn't find out anything when I get back.

Although almost no one knows about the relationship between my godfather and myself, there is always the possibility that I might implicate my godfather.

A faint smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face: "Just say what's on your mind, why are you beating around the bush... Speak!"

The middle-aged man's last word was resolute and carried an air of unyielding resolve.

Bai Manmei's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously replied, "I want to ask about some information, but I'm afraid of causing trouble for my godfather."

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly: "There's no third person here, so you can say anything. What do you want to ask?"

Bai Manmei said softly, "I want to inquire about the Demon Saint Valley."

A sharp glint seemed to flash in the middle-aged man's eyes: "Specifically?"

Bai Manmei pursed her lips, not daring to look the middle-aged man in the eye: "I know that Demon Saint Valley is a forbidden area, guarded by Quasi-Saints and a group of Demon Lords. I would like to ask who the Quasi-Saint who is currently guarding Demon Saint Valley?"
