The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 550 She kidnapped her husband and gave him to the Five Dragons Sect

The Liu family mansion.

The hall was filled with people, with a group of grandmasters from the Liu family in the center and many more grandmasters behind them. Liu Weineng, as the head of the family, sat on the sofa in the center with a solemn expression.

"That's what happened. Now that both of our ancestors are dead, the Liu family's strength has plummeted. We've gathered everyone here today to discuss what to do next..."

After Liu Weineng finished speaking, his gaze swept over the crowd, and as expected, he saw many dissatisfied and angry looks directed at him.

"For the sake of a son-in-law, you caused the deaths of two of our Liu family's ancestors. They were the pillars of our Liu family. Weineng, you are wrong about this."

"That's right. You accepted Chu Tianyu for your daughter's sake. Considering Lin Chen's strength at the time, your decision wasn't wrong. After all, a newly promoted Grandmaster is nothing to fear for our Liu family. But after the Wang family was destroyed, you should have taken it seriously. After all, Lin Chen brought four Innate Grandmasters with him when he killed Wang Lurong!"

"Chu Jiaxue is Lin Chen's wife. So what if you kill Chu Jiaxue? Are you just waiting for Lin Chen to bring four Grandmasters of the Innate Realm to wipe out the entire Liu family?"

"Lin Chen is indeed wanted by the Five Dragon Order, but being wanted does not mean he is dead. In fact, because he is wanted, his behavior may become more extreme and crazy. Can the Liu family really afford to take that?"

Liu Weineng was speechless, because everyone was right.

Although he did that not for Chu Tianyu, but to maintain the Liu family's reputation and dignity, who would care about their original intentions now that things have turned out this way?

Both patriarchs agreed to take action to defend the Liu family's dignity; otherwise, why would they have arrived so quickly and taken action? Unfortunately, the dead cannot speak, and Liu Wei has to bear the blame himself.

Liu Weineng said in a deep voice, "I will take responsibility for this matter, but the information about the deaths of the two ancestors cannot be kept secret for long. We must take all necessary precautions before it is exposed, otherwise, our Liu family may suffer even greater losses..."

Everyone thought it made sense. After all, the Sea-Suppressing Needle was gone, and now even a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm could wipe out the entire Liu family. Which cultivation family doesn't have enemies? Once they heard this news, they would probably take the opportunity to kick them while they were down.
Just as people were discussing this amongst themselves, the butler, with a white cloth wrapped around his hands and a pale face, rushed in quickly, his footsteps immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing the butler's expression, Liu Wei's heart sank: "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

The butler, his face filled with alarm, said, "Lin Chen is here."

"Lin Chen!"

"What is he here for?"

It was as if a ladle of water had been poured into a pot of oil, and everyone in the room was in an uproar.

Liu Weineng's expression also changed drastically: "Chu Jiaxue was with him?"

The butler shook his head: "It's just him."

Everyone looked surprised and suspicious, exchanging bewildered glances.

“This is Xijing, only thirty miles away from the Five Dragons Sect, at most half an hour’s journey. He’s wanted by the Five Dragons Order. Isn’t he afraid of being dealt with by the Five Dragons Sect for showing up here so brazenly?” “Yeah, he’s been missing for so long, how come he suddenly reappeared?”

"Isn't he afraid of the Five Dragons Sect?"

Grandmaster Liu Kefeng suddenly suggested, "Aren't we discussing our future path? Without a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, we will definitely be squeezed out by others. We must find a backer. I think the Five Dragons Sect is quite good. The Five Dragons Sect has six Grandmasters of the Innate Realm, with formidable strength. Moreover, Guo Tang's combat power is extremely strong. Who would dare to provoke him?"

The others asked, "Why would the Five Dragons Sect protect our Liu family?"

"Lin Chen!"

Liu Kefeng said without hesitation, "Isn't the Five Dragons Sect wanted Lin Chen? They even promised a huge reward to anyone who could capture him. If we give Lin Chen to the Five Dragons Sect as a gift, and let them protect my Liu family, even if our two ancestors are gone, who would dare to provoke the Five Dragons Sect? Wouldn't my Liu family be safe and sound?"

"Moreover, Guo Tang is not interested in power, and he will not exploit or oppress the Liu family too much because of our reliance on him. Given time, if any member of our Liu family can break through to the Innate Realm, then we will be able to recover..."

Liu Weineng asked coldly, "What about Chu Jiaxue? We kidnapped her husband and handed him over to the Five Dragons Sect. Do you think she might come back and kill our whole family?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Liu Kefeng thought for a moment: "Chu Jiaxue came yesterday. Chu Tianyu is dead, and the grudges have been settled. Why is Lin Chen coming again today? I think there might be a problem. Why don't we let him in and ask him, and then we can decide what to do?"

Liu Weineng thought it made sense; they had to figure out Lin Chen's purpose in coming.

"Let him in."

Lin Chen was quickly led into the hall by the butler. He was taken aback when he saw the room full of people and asked, "Are you having a meeting?"

Liu Weineng didn't answer, but stared at Lin Chen and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You must be the head of the Liu family. Your son-in-law and I have some old grudges. I have no intention of making enemies with the Liu family, so I want to talk to them. I hope the Liu family will not interfere with my handling of these old grudges."

Liu Weineng's gaze changed, becoming quite strange: "Chu Tianyu?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, I heard he married into your Liu family. I think you shouldn't care too much about a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family, right?"

The way everyone in the room looked at each other changed.

It seems that Lin Chen was unaware that Chu Jiaxue had come to the Liu family yesterday to kill Chu Tianyu, which means that Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue seem to have no connection?
