The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 812 Don't run, because you can't escape.
On the wasteland, the eyes of tens of thousands of people were all focused on Lin Chen above the barren mountain, and countless people's expressions changed.

There's a lot of information in that one sentence!
Lin Chen and Zhao Feiyu clearly had a big conflict. They had been exchanging sarcastic remarks and almost came to blows. They were just chatting when Lin Chen suddenly pushed Zhao Feiyu away and yelled at him. What's going on?
Was he ambushed and killed by Taoist Lu when he left Kunlun Mountain?

What is an ambush?

Ambush is a targeted killing carried out in a certain location; that's what we call an ambush!

Zhao Feiyu's expression suddenly changed.

He wasn't afraid of Lin Chen publicly revealing that he had been robbed and killed outside Kunlun Mountain, since there was no evidence pointing to him. What he feared was what Lin Chen said.

Master Lu is here!!!

Although he did not directly instruct Lu Daoren, but Bao Rui did, who in Kunlun Mountain did not know that Bao Rui was their staunch confidant?
Moreover, this matter involved his personal favor with Lu Daoren. If Lu Daoren were caught, it would be a certainty that he would be exposed.

That damned Lu Daoren, he can't even kill a person, and his identity has been exposed!
His identity being exposed isn't the problem; the real issue is how he ended up here.
Tang Li's expression changed in the crowd.

Her gaze swept across Zhao Feiyu's face, and she saw his face suddenly change color. The murderous intent in her eyes instantly turned fierce.

He actually hired someone to ambush and kill Lin Chen!

Qiao Wei looked surprised and puzzled. Had Master Lu arrived?
Lin Chen didn't say that, did he?

Is this guy bluffing, or is he serious?

On the wasteland and on the flying boat, countless people looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Master Lu!"

"At this!"

The sudden exclamation instantly drew everyone's attention.

People turned their heads and saw a figure suddenly leap from a flying boat at the edge of the wasteland. He was wearing a Taoist robe and had a gloomy face. Who else could it be but Lu Daoren?

Lu Daoren's figure transformed into a golden light, rapidly heading towards the horizon at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak when a black shadow flashed behind him. Tang Li, dressed in black, had already transformed into a streak of black light and chased after Lu Daoren.

Tang Li was fast, but someone else was even faster.

A cyan figure appeared in the air, and in a flash, it was already on the horizon, its speed astonishing.

Qiao Wei leaped up and arrived beside Lin Chen.

Lin Chen said anxiously, "Senior sister, why aren't you chasing after her?"

Qiao Wei smiled and said, "He can't escape if someone's chasing him." Lin Chen suddenly snapped out of his daze, his eyes lighting up: "Senior Brother?"

Qiao Wei laughed and said, "That's right. Someone openly ambushed and killed his junior brother. Of course, he wouldn't sit idly by. Don't worry, with your senior brother standing up for you today, you have nothing to fear!"

Lin Chen immediately became excited. If they caught Lu Daoren, wouldn't that confirm the truth that Zhao Feiyu had hired someone to kill him? In front of everyone, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Zhao Feiyu?
He glanced down at Zhao Feiyu and noticed that Zhao Feiyu appeared calm, but there was a hint of anxiety and unease in his eyes.

Hehe, they're starting to panic!
Qiao Wei asked curiously, "How did you know that Daoist Lu was here?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I guessed it. Lu Daoren intercepted me, so he obviously knew my identity. He had something he wanted on me. He didn't dare to go into Hengshan in Nanyue to capture me, but he could guess that I would participate in this competition. So he would definitely come here to see if he had a chance to capture me."

Qiao Wei asked curiously, "What is it?"

Lin Chen replied in a low voice, "It's a lost secret technique. Miss Tang secretly gave it to me, and I figured it out myself. I escaped Lu Daoren's pursuit that day thanks to this technique."

Qiao Wei nodded to indicate that she understood and did not ask any further questions.

Lin Chen has secrets, and more than one, but Qiao Wei never asks about them and even avoids them.

Every cultivator has their share of fortuitous encounters and secrets.

……

Lu Daoren's face turned ashen as he fled frantically.

He had been hiding on a flying boat on the edge of the area and hadn't even gotten close to Lin Chen. How did Lin Chen know he was there?

He fled for over a hundred miles before catching his breath, stopping briefly, and turning to look back.

Lu Daoren's face suddenly froze, and fear appeared in his eyes.

Dozens of meters behind him, a man in blue robes was calmly watching him, his body devoid of any spiritual energy, as if he didn't exist at all.

A bitter smile, more like a grimace than a cry, appeared on Lu Daoren's face: "Li Ping'an!!!"

The man in blue smiled slightly: "Since you recognize me, then come back with me. Don't run away, because you can't escape. And don't commit suicide, because even if you do, I can still get the answer I want using the Soul Searching Technique. Doing so will only increase your suffering."

Lu Daoren's face was filled with despair: "Am I going to die?"

The man in blue shook his head, a gentle and kind smile on his face: "Since my junior brother is still alright, you naturally don't have to die. However, you have to pay the price for what you did and be punished. After all, the disciples of Nanyue are not to be bullied by just anyone."

Lu Daoren breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly: "I am willing to accept the punishment... It was Zhao Feiyu who ordered me to do it, he is the mastermind!"
