The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 279 A Dish Delivered to Your Doorstep: Why Not Make It Painful?

The four of them avoided the crowd of onlookers and went to the lounge next door.

Lin Chen said casually, "Miss Chu, there's no one here. If there's anything you'd rather not say in front of others, you can speak now."

Chu Jiayi stared coldly at Lin Chen: "You schemed against me!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I told you to go play by yourselves, but you insisted on playing with us. You were the one who proposed the bet. I changed the stakes, and you accepted the bet voluntarily. Even if I schemed against you, I did it openly and honestly. I didn't force you to accept it. How can you blame me?"

Chu Jiayi snorted coldly, "I don't have twenty million, but I'll give you two million to settle this matter. Send me your bank account number, and I'll transfer the money to you immediately!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly and said calmly, "Miss Chu, I think you should remember very clearly that we bet 20 million, oh no, it's 19.5 million, not 2 million. I don't want a penny more or a penny less."

Chu Jiayi sneered, "You really are the type to reach into a coffin and beg for money like crazy. Since you know I'm a member of the Chu family, how dare you try to extort 20 million from me? Aren't you afraid of making money but not having the life to spend it?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Just give me the money. Whether I live to spend it is my business. I might take the money and run away. No matter how rich and powerful your Chu family is, they'll still have to find me."

Chu Jiayi blinked and sneered, "You insist on 19.5 million, right?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, I won fair and square, why shouldn't I accept it?"

Chu Jiayi nodded and readily said, "Okay, you wait here, I'll make the call."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Okay, you make the call first. Yueyue, let's go, let's continue playing."

Ignoring Bai Sheng and Chu Jiayi, Lin Chen pulled Gu Yuexi back to the outer room, where the two continued playing ball.

Gu Yuexi turned around and looked at Chu Jiayi, who was on the phone in the distance, and asked in a low voice, "What are you planning? I don't think she's asking someone to prepare money."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Of course not. She called to ask for people, but not to ask them to prepare money. She can't come up with 20 million, and she can't lose face for the Chu family, so she can only ask someone to settle things with me and make me shut up."

Gu Yuexi frowned and said, "Is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it?"

Lin Chen picked up a bowling ball and threw it without using brute force, relying solely on technique. The bowling ball was initially straight, but then it rolled off course and barely knocked down the three pins next to it.

"This is still more challenging; brute force is too boring."

Lin Chen chuckled and answered Gu Yuexi's question: "The Chu family and I are now sworn enemies, so I don't need to care about Miss Chu's reputation. I just happened to run into them today, so I'll just take the opportunity to tease and provoke them. They've been too quiet lately, and I have a feeling they're preparing some big move to ambush me."

Gu Yuexi bit her lip, her eyes filled with worry: "Won't it be dangerous?" Lin Chen smiled and said: "Of course there is danger. If you want to kill someone, how can you not take any risks yourself? But don't worry, I have a plan. I estimate that we'll have results in the next month or two. Why don't you go on a trip and come back when things have calmed down?"

Gu Yuexi shook her head: "No, my sister is still here. Why would I run away? Anyway, I'll say it again: if they try to get back at me, no matter what they say, don't worry about me. Go and arrest all the important people in the Chu family first. I don't believe they'll dare to do anything to me."

Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle: "You've seen things very clearly. Big families have their advantages, but with a big family comes many entanglements. I've spoken with Chu Songfeng, and the Chu family won't implicate you because, as you said, they can't afford the consequences."

Gu Yuexi laughed and said, "Then that settles it, I'll stay here and watch you utterly destroy the Chu family!"

Lin Chen chuckled: "Okay, let's play ball first and wait for them to arrive."

The two played for about half an hour when a middle-aged man walked into the stadium, met Chu Jiayi, and they talked for a while before Bai Sheng came over.

"Mr. Lin, Jiayi's family has arrived. Please come over."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen readily agreed and walked over there with Gu Yuexi, casually asking, "Have you raised the money?"

Bai Sheng's expression was somewhat subtle. She glanced at Lin Chen, her eyes seemingly filled with confusion.

Is this person really that naive and foolish?
How could anyone actually believe that Chu Jiayi called him to raise money for him, and that the person who came was there to give him money?
"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, you should talk to him directly."

Bai Sheng gave a vague answer, but in his heart he was thinking that after Lin Chen was dealt with, Gu Yuexi would definitely plead for Lin Chen. What should he do then?

Was he just pretending to plead for her?

Is this a sarcastic and malicious act of revenge against her, taking advantage of her misfortune?

Thinking about the scene of Gu Yuexi taking the initiative to hug and kiss Lin Chen just now, Bai Sheng was burning with jealousy.

Even though I know the other person doesn't like me and has expressed my rejection, and even though I know that their feelings for each other are mutual and have nothing to do with me, I'm still very angry. It feels like something of mine has been taken away from me!

snort!
Lin Chen, aren't you supposed to be a good fighter?

Let's see how you get through this ordeal!
