The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 328 Atavism?

The car arrived at the Chu residence. Seeing the tightly closed gate, Chu Jiaxue obediently turned her head and asked, "Do you know the password?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "There's no password. They didn't mention it before, and I didn't ask..."

Chu Jiaxue was slightly discouraged: "Then forget it, let's come again tomorrow."

Lin Chen chuckled: "What's the big deal? We can just climb over the wall. It's our own house, so why can't we climb over the wall if we don't have a password?"

Chu Jiaxue's eyes widened in surprise: "Really?"

"What's fake about this?"

Lin Chen parked the car under the wall, beckoned Chu Jiaxue to get out, and then squatted down: "Come on, climb on my back."

The day Chu Jiaxue got drunk, Lin Chen carried her back home, and they even slept together all night. So naturally, she wasn't shy or awkward and reached out to hug Lin Chen's neck.

With a light tap of his toes, Lin Chen leaped up silently like a nightingale, landing steadily on the wall. With another leap, he entered the villa.

Which is your bedroom?

Standing in this familiar place, Chu Jiaxue looked somewhat dazed and subconsciously pointed to a room on the second floor with a small, private balcony.

"My room is over there, my parents' room is over there..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Hold on tight!"

Lin Chen leaped up, lightly touching the corner of the wall with his toes, and steadily flew up, landing on the small balcony on the second floor.

The door from the small balcony to the room was open. The two entered the room, and Lin Chen reached for the headboard and turned on the light.

The room was clean and tidy, with only a mattress on the bed and no sheets, pillows, or blankets, making the room feel rather empty.

Chu Jiaxue murmured softly, "The overall situation hasn't changed, but everything has changed..."

Lin Chen comforted him, "So many years have passed, it's inevitable that things will change. The important thing is that we got it back, isn't it?"

Chu Jiaxue nodded and said, "Let me show you around the house."

Lin Chen understood Chu Jiaxue's feelings at this moment and smiled, "Okay, tell me about your childhood."

Chu Jiaxue nodded, reached out and took Lin Chen's hand, and walked outside.

"This is Grandpa and Grandma's room..." "This is Mom and Dad's room..."

"This is a restaurant. My family used to eat here. I sat here, my grandpa sat here, and my mom and dad sat here..."

As Lin Chen listened to Chu Jiaxue's introduction, a question suddenly came to mind.

"Jiaxue, I've heard you talking about the Chu family, but what about your mother's relatives? They haven't shown up at all since the incident."

Chu Jiaxue explained, "They did come, but the Gu family has declined and is now just an ordinary family. They can't help with my parents' situation. Besides, my maternal grandparents still resent the Chu family for harming their daughter. In addition, my paternal grandfather is taking care of me, so they haven't come again. I just go back to see them occasionally..."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "You said the Gu family has declined. Was the Gu family very powerful before?"

Chu Jiaxue's eyes lit up slightly: "I've heard Grandpa mention the Gu family. He said that the Gu family was originally a family of cultivators, but their cultivators weren't very strong, and the Gu family didn't have a high status in the cultivation world. But later, a genius emerged from the Gu family. By seniority, she might be my great-great-great-grandmother, well, she's many generations removed. She was incredibly powerful, and the Gu family became very famous because of her..."

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "Super amazing, how amazing?"

Chu Jiaxue thought for a moment: "Is he supposed to be a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm?"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "That's really impressive. With a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm protecting you, who would dare to mess with your Gu family? Haven't you seen the Zhu family? They only have one Grandmaster, yet they're so arrogant and rampant in Linhai. With a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, not to mention Linhai, they're top experts all over the country. Who would dare to disrespect them?"

Above Grandmaster is Great Grandmaster, but to be precise, Great Grandmaster should actually be called Acquired Great Grandmaster, and above that is Innate Great Grandmaster.

A Grandmaster of the Innate Realm is considered a top-tier combat power in the cultivation world. With such a powerful figure in charge, even if everyone else in the family is an ordinary person who cannot cultivate, which cultivation family or sect would not give them face?

Chu Jiaxue chuckled: "Yes, that's why when that old man was around, no one in the Gu family dared to mess with him. But after that old man disappeared, the Gu family fell into decline. After several generations, there were no powerful cultivators, and they gradually returned to being ordinary people."

Lin Chen blinked: "Disappeared?"

Chu Jiaxue nodded: "I don't know the specifics either, and maybe my grandfather doesn't know either, but anyway, he just disappeared suddenly."

Lin Chen asked in confusion, "Were you harmed by someone?"

Chu Jiaxue shook her head: "How would I know? I don't know if the Gu family knows the truth and is just saying this to mislead others, or if the Gu family really doesn't know either. I don't know."

Lin Chen nodded: "That's how cultivator families are. They need a powerful figure to support them, otherwise, they can easily be swallowed up by others."

Chu Jiaxue suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, speaking of which, there's something funny. Don't my cousin and I look like twins? Actually, we look more like her. Some people even say our genes have reverted to our ancestral form..."
