The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3081 Why is that guy back?
The middle-aged man stared at the white cranberries without answering.

Bai Manmei felt a sense of panic, and as time passed second by second, beads of sweat appeared on her brow.

Finished!

Godfather must have noticed!
The next step will definitely be a stern interrogation; how should I handle it?

Are you suggesting I tell him that his life is being controlled by someone, that he's planning to betray the demon race and lead the human race to steal the Demon Emperor's home?

Just as Bai Manmei's anxiety was growing, the middle-aged man's voice drifted over.

"I know this person, but are you sure you want to know?"

Bai Manmei hesitated for a second, then gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I want to know."

This time, the middle-aged man did not hesitate and answered quite decisively.

"Battle of a Hundred Miles".

"He is the guardian of this round of restricted areas."

Bai Manmei felt a sudden sense of relief. Once she knew who it was, it would be much easier to investigate the relevant matters.

"Thank you, foster father!"

The middle-aged man stared at the white cranberry: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Bai Manmei shook her head without hesitation: "I'm fine, I was just asking out of curiosity."

The middle-aged man hummed in agreement: "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

Bai Manmei said softly, "I can't stay for more than two days. I just wanted to come back and see you because I was thinking of my godfather."

The middle-aged man stared at Bai Manmei, a complex look in his eyes: "I'm just an idle person, what could possibly happen to me? You don't need to worry, just do your own thing."

Bai Manmei hummed in agreement, seemingly unsure of what else to say.

The middle-aged man waved his hand: "Go ahead and get busy."

"Yes!"

Bai Manmei agreed, hesitated slightly, and then bowed again, saying, "Godfather, please take care."

The middle-aged man didn't say anything more, he just waved his hand.

Bai Manmei turned and left the backyard, heading towards the room in the front yard that originally belonged to her.

She planned to stay one night.

This night might be the last time she stays here in her life.

From today onwards, she will never have the chance to return to this mansion.

Silent all night.

White Cranberry quietly left the house early in the morning, before dawn.

"Miss, so early?"

The white-haired old man looked at Bai Manmei in surprise: "I'll go prepare breakfast right away..." "No need."

Bai Manmei said softly, "I have something to do, so I'm leaving now. If anyone asks me, please don't tell them I'm back."

"it is good!"

White Cranberry glanced back at the backyard, then drifted away.

backyard.

The middle-aged man stood up from his chair, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

He took out a magical artifact that resembled a compass, then took out a strand of hair that was tangled together, pulled out one of the strands, and threw it onto the compass.

Flames suddenly appeared on the compass, instantly engulfing the hair. Then, a burst of light appeared on the compass, turning it into a screen of light with all sorts of strange icons on it, one of which was shining brightly.

The middle-aged man sat down in the chair again, and the compass floated quietly in mid-air, the crystalline dots on the light screen moving slowly.

The middle-aged man closed his eyes.

……

"I am back."

Bai Manmei looked at Lin Chen in front of her, feeling slightly uneasy.

She didn't know what her adoptive father was thinking, nor did she know what changes her actions would bring.

It might kill me, or it might kill everyone.

But when she saw that familiar city, thought of that familiar person, and happened to have a suitable reason to appear before her, she chose to go back.

She wanted to go home again, to see him again; as for the outcome, she'd leave it to fate.

Even if you die, that's fate.

She doesn't regret it!

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Did you encounter any trouble?"

A smile appeared on Bai Manmei's face: "It went very smoothly. I've gathered all the information."

Lin Chen hummed in agreement: "Thank you for your hard work. Go ahead and tell me."

Bai Manmei sat down in the chair in front of Lin Chen and reported the results of her investigation.

"The guardian of the Demon Saint Valley this time is Baili Zhan. He is a member of the Quasi-Saint Pavilion of the Demon God Temple. He is of the metal element and his domain ability is the Metal World. Enemies controlled by his domain will be instantly transformed into metal."

"He was the patriarch of the Baili family, a man of high status. He didn't care about many people, but his descendant Baili Mei was one of them. This was because Baili Mei's skills were taught by him personally. Although he was a descendant in terms of seniority, he was practically a disciple to him."

Lin Chen frowned: "This name sounds familiar. Let me think."

Bai Manmei looked at Lin Chen with a complicated expression: "Back then, he encountered your team on the battlefield outside the Immortal-Demon Passage. His team was completely routed by you, and he himself was seriously injured in that battle, almost killed..."

Lin Chen suddenly realized, and a young and arrogant face appeared in his mind.

Isn't this the guy I encountered in my first battle after joining the War God's Talisman?
