The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 65 We're even now

Gu Yuexi raised her head, her eyes fixed on Lin Chen's masculine profile.

"I want to hear the truth, is that alright?"

Lin Chen nodded and readily admitted, "It's related."

Gu Yuexi pursed her lips: "Could you be more specific?"

Lin Chen replied calmly, "Because he hired people to kill me. If I hadn't been able to fight, I would have been hacked to death in the parking lot four nights ago."

Gu Yuexi's eyes widened in shock: "He hired someone to kill you?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I'm just your fake boyfriend. You don't think that I would try to kill him just because he wants to pursue you and be with you, do you?"

Gu Yuexi's expression suddenly relaxed a little: "I see. Then what happened in the car accident just now?"

Lin Chen answered frankly: "He hired someone to kill me. I told the person who hired me that either he would kill the employer, or I would kill him. Only one of us could live."

Gu Yuexi suddenly realized, and her tense body completely relaxed: "So the person who was hired killed him in order to survive?"

Lin Chen looked at Gu Yuexi's reaction with slight surprise: "What's with your reaction? You seemed so scared just now."

Gu Yuexi bit her lip: "I misunderstood just now. I thought Wu Jiajun had been causing you trouble and harassing me, so you tried to kill him. If that were the case, I would be quite afraid of you. But now that I know he hurt you first and you were just acting in self-defense, I'm not afraid anymore."

Lin Chen suddenly realized that Gu Yuexi's change of heart had changed.

If someone kills someone over trivial matters, it means they are inherently cruel and ruthless. Who wouldn't be afraid of such a ruthless person?
Later, she realized that Wu Jiajun had harmed her first, and that she was only retaliating. She was not even the one who directly killed him, so she was no longer afraid.

Normal people are afraid of villains who commit murder, but they are not afraid of victims who kill villains in self-defense.

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Wu Jiajun is dead, aren't you sad?"

Gu Yuexi pouted: "When I saw that he died in a car accident, I was shocked and a little sad. Although I hate him, we were still acquaintances. But when I found out that he hired someone to kill you, I wasn't sad at all, especially since you saved his life on the mountain. He not only didn't repay the kindness, but he also repaid kindness with enmity. He was so inhuman. He deserved to die!"

After a pause, Gu Yuexi looked at Lin Chen with bright eyes: "You told me such a private matter. Aren't you afraid I'll tell Wu Jiajun's parents?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Since I chose to tell you, I naturally believe that you would not do such a thing. Firstly, you are not that kind of person, and secondly, if this matter gets out of hand, it will not do any good for me, for you, or for the Gu family."

Gu Yuexi nodded: "That's right. If his parents knew the truth, they would definitely hate me and the Gu family as well."

Lin Chen hummed in agreement: "You have a pretty strong ability to learn."

"If you don't court death, you won't die."

Gu Yuexi snorted, "He who kills will be killed. It's only because you are powerful that he is so. If you were just an ordinary person, you would be dead by now. Thinking about this, I feel that his death was not unjust at all."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "He's rich and powerful, used to being domineering, and likes to solve problems in the most direct way. He just picked the wrong target this time."

Gu Yuexi asked curiously, "That was a real car accident just now, how was it all arranged?" Lin Chen shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know either."

Just then, Lin Chen's phone rang.

Lai Yiliang.

Lin Chen didn't avoid Gu Yuexi and answered the phone directly: "Hello?"

Lai Yiliang’s respectful voice rang out: “Mr. Lin, Wu Jiajun was just in a car accident and died on the spot.”

Lin Chen hummed in agreement and glanced at Gu Yuexi, who was listening intently beside him: "I just passed by the scene and saw it. What happened to that driver?"

Lai Yiliang replied, "He is a terminal cancer patient with at most half a month to live. I gave him a settlement allowance and promised to help his child get into a good school later."

Lin Chen said calmly, "If you promise someone something, you have to do it, and do it well."

Lai Yiliang was startled and quickly assured him, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely do it well!"

Lin Chen nodded: "Okay, we're even."

Lai Yiliang breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Lin..."

Lin Chen hummed in agreement: "What is it?"

Lai Yiliang replied nervously, "President Zhao asked what happened here. With everyone watching, I couldn't hide it, so I had to tell President Zhao what happened..."

Lin Chen didn't care: "I know."

Lai Yiliang lowered his voice slightly: "From what I heard from President Zhao, he probably won't let Li Liangwen die in vain. He might make a move against you later, so please be careful, Mr. Lin."

Lin Chen was slightly surprised: "Why are you telling me this?"

Lai Yiliang replied, "Mr. Lin has spared me twice, and I just want to repay him in some way."

Lin Chen suddenly asked, "Li Liangwen is dead, who's in charge of Black Bamboo Company now?"

Lai Yiliang's voice sounded somewhat awkward: "President Zhao asked me to temporarily take charge."

Lin Chen chuckled: "Then you've been promoted! Congratulations!"

Lai Yiliang spoke cautiously, "It's all thanks to Mr. Lin!"

Lin Chen stopped talking, hung up the phone, and turned his head to ask, "Did you understand?"

Gu Yuexi shook her head: "I understand, but I don't understand... Who is Li Liangwen, and how did he die?"
