One person: Lu family bodyguard, who shattered Longhu Mountain with a single palm strike.

A cool night breeze blew on the stone steps outside the ancestral hall.

A young man with a full head of red hair and a toothpick in his mouth was leaning against a stone pillar.

He lowered his eyes and heard the conversation inside very clearly.

Jia Zhengliang spat out the toothpick from his mouth, his face so heavy it looked like it could drip water.

"Brother, you've really bitten off more than you can chew this time. The whole village is losing face because of you." Jia Zhengliang rubbed his face and gave a bitter smile.

He knew all too well his older brother's arrogant and haughty temperament.

To be able to do something as stupid as launching a sneak attack on someone else's base is something only Jia Zhengyu would do.

They are in the wrong, and there's no way to clear their name.

but……

Jia Zhengliang's gaze gradually turned cold.

His fingers gently caressed the twelve unsheathed Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives in his pocket, a surge of barely suppressed irritation rising within him.

Even if my brother has made a thousand mistakes, he is still a member of the Jia family, and he is Jia Zhengliang's own brother.

He had just glanced at that surveillance video.

The bodyguard named Lin Mo was incredibly brutal. With a single, effortless chop to the bone, he sliced ​​the man in two, bone and all, without giving him a chance to struggle.

"Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but you're just a bodyguard who gets paid to do things, yet you're so ruthless. Do you really think our Jia family has no one left?" Jia Zhengliang muttered under his breath.

He knew the village wouldn't come forward to take revenge, but Jia Zhengliang would remember this grudge.

When he has the chance, he will definitely go and meet that so-called peerless master in person to see if those hands that can cleave the Dragon-Piercing Cone can actually block his Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife!

……

The next day. Tianjin, the top-floor luxury guest room area of ​​the Tianxiahui headquarters.

The time jumps to 8:59:50.

Lin Mo appeared in front of Lu Linglong's door on time, holding a hot soy milk he had just gotten from the restaurant in one hand and a meat bun in the other, looking relaxed.

Nine o'clock sharp.

He silently said "clocking in" to himself.

[Ding! Host detected arriving at work on time; attendance record is normal.]

As soon as the system's mechanical voice finished speaking, the door in front of them clicked open.

Lu Linglong stood gracefully at the door, carrying a delicate little suitcase.

Lin Mo paused slightly as he bit into the steamed bun, his gaze naturally sweeping over the young lady in front of him.

Lu Linglong had clearly dressed up specially for today.

She wore a tight-fitting, short, pure white T-shirt that perfectly accentuated her enviable curves; and a high-waisted pleated mini skirt that, paired with her long, straight, and slender legs, made her a stunning walking sight.

Especially the size of her chest, which is made more prominent by the waist-cinching design of the short T-shirt, looks as if it is about to burst out of the fabric at any moment.

Good morning, boss.

Lin Mo swallowed the steamed bun in a few bites, then swallowed again. "Looks like you're going on a blind date today?"

Noticing Lin Mo's undisguised admiring gaze, Lu Linglong's cheeks flushed slightly.

However, she didn't react as usual. Instead, she straightened her back slightly, deliberately puffed out her chest, and had a smug look on her lips.

"What blind date? This young lady is invincible in her youth!"

Lu Linglong snorted and pushed the suitcase to Lin Mo's feet. "We've been in Tianjin for almost a week. Great-Grandpa sent us a WeChat message last night urging us to return to the Lu family today. You, take the suitcase."

Lin Mo glanced at the pink suitcase and sighed, "Boss, according to Article 6, Section 2 of the bodyguard employment contract, carrying luggage falls under the scope of a personal assistant."

"If you need me to do it for you, there will be a service fee per trip. Considering the weight, charging you two hundred yuan isn't unreasonable, is it?"

Lu Linglong rolled her eyes; she was already used to his money-grubbing ways.

"Put it on the tab! We'll settle it when we get back!" She patted Lin Mo's shoulder impatiently. "Let's go say goodbye to Sister Sha Yan first. She's treated us to so many days; we should thank her in person."

Lin Mo picked up the suitcase with ease, as if it were a ball of cotton.

He followed behind Lu Linglong, silently calculating in his mind: "These past few days' business trip allowance, high-risk guard bonus, plus all sorts of miscellaneous expenses, I can make another hundred thousand when I get back to the Lu family."

The two followed the corridor to the private reception room on the top floor.

The door was open, and Feng Shayan was sitting on the sofa working on some documents.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up and gave a bright smile.

Feng Shayan's outfit today is equally stunning.

She was wearing a pair of black, fitted leather pants that hugged her long, strong legs without an ounce of excess fat.

She wore only a sporty workout bra on her upper body, exposing her clearly defined abs and flat stomach, while her healthy tan skin radiated a wild charm.

Looking upwards, the impressive cleavage, squeezed by the bra, is even more captivating.

"Linglong, Mr. Lin, you're up so early?" Feng Shayan put down her tablet, stood up, and came over to greet them.

Lu Linglong quickly stepped forward, took Feng Shayan's arm, and spoke with a hint of reluctance in her voice.

"Sister Shayan, my great-grandfather is urging me to go back. I've had so much fun and delicious food here these past few days, I really don't want to leave."

"Why so suddenly?" Feng Shayan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and patted the back of her hand. "It's alright, the doors of the World Society are always open for you."

"If you want to come visit in the future, just let me know and I'll send a car to pick you up."

After speaking, she turned her gaze to Lin Mo, who was standing to the side, scrutinizing the decoration of the reception room.

"Mr. Lin," Feng Shayan's lips curled into a playful smile, "The World Society is currently lacking a top expert to oversee its headquarters. Are you really not considering coming over for a part-time job? You can name your salary."

Lin Mo withdrew his gaze and shook his head seriously: "Miss Feng, you're too kind. Although I love money, I have a lot of professional ethics."

"I won't switch jobs before my contract with the Lu family expires."

He abruptly changed the subject, revealing his standard salesman's smile: "However, if Miss Feng feels she has any hidden health issues that need treatment, or needs sparring partners to withstand pressure and beatings, I can arrange a VIP annual membership for you. As a friend, I'll give you a 10% discount."

Feng Shayan chuckled at his joke and was about to say something when a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the reception room.

"Sister! Sister Lu! Brother Lin!"

Feng Xingtong rushed in from outside, covered in sweat and slightly out of breath.

Feng Shayan frowned, regaining her strong businesswoman aura: "Xingtong, why are you in such a panic so early in the morning? What happened?"

Feng Xingtong took a deep breath, her gaze unconsciously sweeping over Lin Mo before she swallowed hard.

"The people from Jiajia Village... have arrived!"
