The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 481 If you're not convinced, then come and take it back!

Inside the room, an oil lamp cast its light as Lin Chen sat before it, looking at the alchemical book he had acquired earlier.

Han Xuegong and Han Xuemei climbed over the wall and landed in the yard. They carefully walked to the door, peeked through the crack, and then breathed a sigh of relief before pushing the door open and entering the house.

Lin Chen looked up at them and closed the book in his hand.

Han Xuegong and Han Xuemei's eyes fell simultaneously on the cinnabar book in Lin Chen's hand, and then on the obviously bulging backpack at Lin Chen's feet. Their eyes lit up.

For the past six hours, they have been searching the neighborhood for houses that look like wealthy families. Although they have made some progress, it has not been entirely satisfactory.

Han Xuegong said in a strange tone, "Oh, looks like you've had quite a haul."

Lin Chen smiled faintly and said, "It's alright."

After robbing Su Erhe and the others, Lin Chen circled around the area, searched a few houses, and then gave up.

He noticed that the wealthy families in the city had packed their belongings neatly and cleanly, leaving nothing of value behind, giving the impression that they had evacuated in an orderly manner. In contrast, the homes of the smaller families were noticeably more chaotic, indicating that they had left in a hurry.

This gave Lin Chen a guess.

The administrators should be the first to know that this place is about to be destroyed, followed by the wealthy families. They have ample time to pack up all their valuables and evacuate in an orderly manner. As for the ordinary people, they should be the last to know the news, so they are the most panicked when they retreat.

Having figured this out, Lin Chen lost the will to continue searching and arrived at the meeting point ahead of time to carefully read the alchemical book.

Han Xuemei said, "Take a look?"

Lin Chen nodded calmly: "Go ahead and see."

Han Xuemei and Han Xuegong went over and carefully examined the package. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

This kid has made a huge haul!

Han Xuegong stood up and said with a smile, "So many harvests! What a bumper crop! Where did you find them all?"

Lin Chen casually made up a story: "I didn't go far around the pharmacy. After the people from the Eight Spirits Sect left, I went back in and searched again, and that's how I found it."

Han Xuegong and Han Xuemei were dumbfounded. Had they gotten a bargain?

Does this work too?
Are Su Erhe and his group from the Eight Spirits Sect blind?

How could five people search so thoroughly and still miss it, allowing Lin Chen to get such a great freebie?

Han Xuegong stared at the book in Lin Chen's hand: "What book are you reading?"

Lin Chen generously handed the book to Han Xuegong: "A popular science book on elixirs." Han Xuegong took the book, and Han Xuemei also came over. The two flipped through a few pages and saw the introductions to the Five Spirits Elixir, the Great Tonic Pill, and the Heart-Clearing Pill. Their eyes lit up immediately.

Han Xuemei suddenly said, "These medicinal herbs all need to be refined into pills. They're useless to you by yourself, so why don't you give them to us?"

Lin Chen glanced at Han Xuemei: "That's not what the agreement says."

Han Xuemei said firmly, "If it weren't for the Han family letting you join, you wouldn't even be qualified to enter. You have so much, what's wrong with sharing a little?"

Lin Chen stared at Han Xuemei, who stared back at him forcefully, clutching his bag as if to say, "If you don't agree, I'll take it myself."

After exchanging glances for a few seconds, Lin Chen looked away and said, "Alright, you can take it."

Han Xuemei raised her eyebrows triumphantly, neatly rummaged through all the medicinal herbs, and looking at the pills at the bottom of the backpack, she spoke again: "You have five Five Spirit Pills, and there are exactly five of us, one for each of us. The Great Tonic Pill is supposed to help people improve their health, right? My brother might be able to use it. I'll take it. You can keep all the Heart-Clearing Pills, okay?"

Lin Chen said calmly, "No."

Han Xuemei's expression froze: "What if I insist on taking it?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You can give it a try."

"Do you think I wouldn't dare?"

Han Xuemei sneered and pulled the entire package in front of her: "I've changed my mind, I want everything! If you're not happy, then come and take it back!"

Lin Chen stood up and walked towards Han Xuemei. Han Xuegong stood beside Han Xuemei, coldly staring at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The door was pushed open, and Han Xuehai and Han Shude walked in.

Han Xuehai frowned as he looked at the two groups of people who were on the verge of conflict and asked, "What's going on?"

Han Xuemei spoke first: "Lin Chen picked up a big bag of stuff from the pharmacy for free. You and Xuegong were both injured during the robbery, so even if you didn't do anything right, you still put in the effort. I asked him to share some of it, but he got upset and even tried to fight me like a madman..."

Han Xuegong walked up to Han Xuehai and whispered a few words in his ear. Han Xuehai's eyes immediately changed, and he looked at the backpack with a hint of greed.

There are five Five Spirit Pills that can be used to advance to the Grandmaster level, which means that the Han family can gain five more Grandmasters!

Han Xuehai looked at Lin Chen, unsure of what to say, since he had personally made the agreement with Lin Chen earlier.

Lin Chen suddenly spoke up: "You want it too?"
