The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 445 I'm not dead yet, the sky isn't going to fall.
The Wang Family Mansion.

There were many people sitting in the huge living room, but no one spoke. Everyone had a solemn expression, as if facing a formidable enemy. The air in the entire living room seemed to freeze.

They are waiting.

The sound of a car came from outside the door, followed by footsteps. A group of three people walked in. The one in the lead was an old man with white hair and beard. His white eyebrows were slightly drooping, his face was ruddy, and his eyes were deep and bright, with a faint glint of light in them.

Everyone in the room, whether middle-aged men or elderly people with gray hair, stood up in unison and respectfully paid their respects.

Wang Lurong, the ancestor of the Wang family.

He is the oldest, highest-ranking, and most powerful member of the Wang family, and also the pillar of the Wang family.

Another Grandmaster of the Wang family, Wang Fuyuan, is a generation younger than Wang Lurong and must call Wang Lurong "uncle." He is currently out of town handling some business and is not in Xijing for the time being.

Wang Lurong walked to the center of the sofa in the living room and sat down, waving his hand and saying, "Please sit down."

Only then did everyone carefully take their seats.

Wang Lurong glanced at the crowd who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, and said calmly, "There's no need to look so grumpy. Both of our actions were due to underestimating the enemy. Six Grandmasters and two Grandmasters—it's been many years since my Wang family has suffered such a heavy blow. But I'm not dead yet. The sky won't fall down for the Wang family."

Upon hearing Wang Lurong's words, everyone relaxed slightly and quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Everyone is afraid.

Although Wang Lurong had long since stopped interfering in affairs and lived a secluded life, his position in the Wang family was supreme, and he possessed absolute decision-making power.

Wang Lurong could decide the head of the Wang family with a single word, and no one would dare to object.

Wang Lurong's eyes swept over the crowd: "Can someone tell me the whole story?"

Wang Deping stood up, looking ashamed, and admitted his mistake: "The root of this matter is the feud between my grandson Wang Jianbo and Lin Chen. He and Lin Chen's wife, Chu Jiaxue, were college classmates. Jianbo was in love with Chu Jiaxue, but found out that Chu Jiaxue had already married Lin Chen. Later, he fell in love with the daughter of Zuo Wenxuan from the Zuo family in Linhai, but found out that Zuo Wenxuan's daughter was actually Lin Chen's mistress, and Chu Jiaxue knew about it..."

"Jianbo was angered by this and asked his family members in Linhai to kidnap Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue in order to avenge their humiliation. However, the Guan family was defeated by Lin Chen and chased after Jianbo to save their own lives. Jianbo was careful and managed to escape."

“A few days ago, Jianbo ran into Lin Chen at the mall. He thought Lin Chen would definitely seek revenge, and since he wasn't a cultivator, he wanted to strike first. So he called Lin Chen and asked him to come out to settle the score…” Wang Lurong waved his hand: “Alright, I know what happened next. He tried to kill but got killed instead…”

Everyone felt ashamed. The first wave was understandable, since no one had investigated beforehand and no one knew Lin Chen's strength, so mistakes were normal. But the second wave was rather embarrassing.

One mistake wasn't enough; another mistake in the second round resulted in losses several times greater than the first.

In the first round, two Grandmasters died, and in the second round, five Grandmasters died. Of the nine Grandmasters in the Wang family, only one remained, leaving the entire family with only three Grandmasters.

There are naturally many people who resent Wang Deping. After all, the Wang family is very large and has many branches. These grandmasters are basically the pillars of their respective branches, but now they have all died in battle because of the feud between Wang Jianbo and Lin Chen.

Although they are all members of the Wang family, the clan is large, consisting of countless smaller families. The difference between dying for one's own grandson and dying for one's cousin's grandson is naturally different.

In other words, there are still two Grandmasters at the top who are keeping the Wang family in check. Otherwise, with this wave of heavy losses, the Wang family would probably have internal conflicts and splits.

"Ancestor, according to Wang Fuhai's dying words, Lin Chen has a mysterious Grandmaster of the Innate Realm helping him. What should we do now?"

Wang Lurong remained calm: "Call Fuyuan and tell him to come back. Also, issue a warrant for the Wang family to assist in the investigation and search for Lin Chen's whereabouts."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment. Wang Chengfeng, the head of the Wang family, cautiously asked, "Issue a warrant for assistance?"

Wang Lurong turned to look at Wang Chengfeng: "If you can find Lin Chen, there's no need to issue this assistance order. After all, if this matter blows up, it will only make the Wang family lose face."

Wang Chengfeng's face turned awkward. If he could find Lin Chen, then what were they all doing sitting here awkwardly?

There's just no other way, isn't there?

Wang Chengfeng quickly tried to salvage the situation: "I'll go issue the investigation warrant right away!"

Wang Lurong's gaze swept over the crowd: "The blood of my Wang family cannot be shed in vain. Regardless of the cause of this matter, only by killing Lin Chen can we wash away this humiliation. And that Grandmaster of the Innate Realm hidden behind him, I also want to meet him and see who he really is..."
