The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 392 A Valuable Gift

Zhang Yun's submission was not unexpected by Lin Chen.

Paying for medical treatment is a matter of course.

Zhang Yun was willing to kneel before hundreds of cultivators just to survive, which shows that in her heart, dignity was not as important as life.

Zhang Yun had knelt down; her dignity was gone, so there was no psychological burden left for her to submit to Lin Chen.

They've already knelt down, so why bother saying a few soft words?
This doesn't mean Zhang Yun doesn't hate Lin Chen; on the contrary, she hates him to the core.

If someone could be found right now who knows the Heaven-Returning Needle technique and can guarantee Zhang Yun's treatment every year, Zhang Yun would probably turn on him immediately, slap Lin Chen to death, and vent her anger.

Just as Lin Chen walked back to the hotel entrance and was about to get into Ma Wencai's car, a hotel staff member ran over quickly.

"Lin Chen, Mr. Lin!"

Lin Chen stopped and turned to look at the approaching waiter: "What is it?"

The waiter handed Lin Chen a paper bag: "Mr. Lin, this is a gift from a lady who asked me to give it to you."

Lin Chen took the paper bag and glanced inside. There were two small sandalwood boxes, and he didn't know what was inside.

Lin Chen asked, "What's that lady's name?"

The waiter replied, "I don't know."

Lin Chen frowned: "How old are you? What do you look like?"

The waiter thought for a moment: "She's in her twenties, very pretty, and has a little girl who looks about three or four years old with her."

Lin Chen immediately recognized who it was and nodded, saying, "Thank you."

Lin Chen rummaged through the bag and found a note inside.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for saving my daughter. I have no way to repay you, so I am sending you two small gifts to express my gratitude."

The first box contains a Divine Essence Pill, which can widen the meridians and greatly enhance strength, making it very suitable for Mr. Lin to use now.

The second box contains my personal keepsake. If Mr. Lin ever encounters any difficulties he cannot resolve, he can call the number below and contact me with this keepsake. I will then help Mr. Lin resolve his problem once.

A phone number was written at the bottom of the note.

Lin Chen took out his phone and wrote down the number, then took out the box and gently opened it.

The first box contained a blood-red pill the size of a pigeon's egg. When the box was opened, the pill seemed to be surrounded by swirling smoke, which looked quite magical.

Lin Chen closed the first box and opened the second box. Inside was an ancient knife coin, on which the character "nine" was engraved in a flamboyant style with a sharp tool.

Lin Chen examined the knife-shaped coin twice, and apart from its antique appearance, it didn't seem to have anything special about it.

A token of affection? A way to help resolve a difficulty?
This woman has quite a big mouth; I wonder what her background is.

Lin Chen put the box into his travel bag before getting into the car.

Ma Wencai got into the car, which immediately started and headed to the airport.

Lin Chen and Ma Wencai chatted casually. When the topic turned to the participating sects in the Southwest Gathering, Lin Chen asked, "Mr. Ma, are there any guests from the Southwest Gathering staying at hotels?"

Ma Wencai was a little confused: "Not staying in a hotel? What do you mean?"

Lin Chen replied, "I was just taking a casual stroll that day and found that the scenery at the very back was quite nice, with a small waterfall and such. There were also people living in the small building next door, who seemed to be guests attending the conference. It felt like they were receiving VIP treatment, so I just asked them."

Ma Wencai's gaze held a subtle hint: "Perhaps the guest has some special circumstances, so the accommodation was specially arranged."

Lin Chen said "oh" and didn't ask any further questions.

Lin Chen's intuition told him that this woman's identity was not simple, and that Ma Wencai should know something. However, since Ma Wencai had already answered him like that, it would be tactless for him to ask any further questions.

Since this woman dared to say that, she must have some confidence. If I ever encounter difficulties that I can't solve in the future, I'll have another way to ask for help.

The plane flew directly to Wushan City. Upon exiting the airport, a luxury car was waiting to take everyone to the Ma family's luxurious manor.

"Where is the patient?"

Ma Wencai smiled and said, "No rush, no rush. It's been a bumpy journey. Mr. Lin, please get some rest for the night. We can talk about treatment tomorrow."

Since the host said so, Lin Chen naturally followed suit. After enjoying a delicious meal, Lin Chen returned to his room.

Seeing that it was still early, and since it wasn't convenient for Lin Chen, as a guest, to wander around, he simply took out the Divine Essence Pill and swallowed it.

Since I'm idle anyway, I might as well cultivate myself.

He sat there for the entire night.

That night, Lin Chen suffered terribly, experiencing both intense and excruciating pain.

The widening of the meridians is naturally accompanied by great pain, but after the meridians are widened, it feels like being massaged hard by several big men, and the relief after the soreness makes you feel like you've lost a few pounds.

Lin Chen's internal energy circulation has seen a significant improvement in both speed and quantity, resulting in a substantial increase in his overall strength.

If the circulation of Qi in the past was like a babbling brook, now it's like a mighty river, feeling incredibly refreshing.

This Divine Essence Pill is truly a miraculous medicine.

I really made a fortune coming to the Southwest Association this time.
