The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 685: Chapter 0687: What is the Intention?

Chu Ge pondered for a moment and then slowly asked, "Among these five people, is there one with the surname Liu?"

Jian Chunqiu shook his head, looking at Chu Ge with suspicion, not understanding why he suddenly took an interest in such matters today.

Although he was obsessed with martial arts, he had never taken such a keen interest in such gossip.

"What has happened that makes you so curious about the matters of the Immortal Realm?"

Jian Chunqiu asked.

Chu Ge was slightly startled, then realized he might have asked too much.

He didn’t know why, but he had developed a strong interest in Uncle Liu.

However, Jian Chunqiu said there was no one with the surname Liu among the five, what was going on?

Chu Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, deep in thought; could it be that Uncle Liu changed his surname to mislead others? It seemed the only reasonable explanation.

Chu Ge thought it over and decided to tell Jian Chunqiu everything, explaining the whole situation from how he met Uncle Liu, to the fact that the furniture was made by him, and how he used a chess board to test himself; he told Jian Chunqiu everything.

Jian Chunqiu was initially startled, then slapped Chu Ge, "You little rascal, hiding such things until now. If that person had ill intentions, you’d probably be meeting King Yan by now!"

Through his confrontation with Uncle Liu, he was clearly aware that taking his life would be as easy as turning his hand.

Originally, he thought that being a Mid-stage Innate Grandmaster and walking in the world of martial arts made him strong, but after sparring with Uncle Liu, he realized how insignificant he was, just like an ant that could be crushed with a casual flick.

Jian Chunqiu stroked his chin, pondering for a moment, and then his gaze returned to the furniture, his mind flashing with a thought.

"If I’m not mistaken, this person must be the craftsman, Dao Liu."

Dao Liu?

Chu Ge was slightly stunned; he had heard this name from the old man’s mouth. Back in the days, Dao Liu was also a prominent figure, although he started later, he became renowned alongside Master Guangde as heroes of the martial world, and even after Master Guangde retired, Dao Liu continued alone and finally became a One Generation Grandmaster.

The name Dao Liu was still spoken in the world of martial arts, though not as frequently due to the passage of time.

But for them, the mention of Dao Liu held significance. noveldrama

Uncle Liu... Liu... Chu Ge pondered for a moment, a slight smile curling at the corners of his lips. It seemed that he was indeed Dao Liu.

Jian Chunqiu, curious, looked at Chu Ge and asked, "You said he was testing you, what was the outcome?"

Chu Ge looked at him, speechless, "Is the result even needed to be said? Of course, I was thoroughly trounced."

Even as an Innate Grandmaster, he couldn’t defeat Divine Communication Jian Chunqiu, let alone an Immortal.

That question was truly embarrassing.

Jian Chunqiu also looked at Chu Ge, speechless; he knew Chu Ge was no match for Dao Liu. He just wanted to know if Dao Liu had any other intentions by testing Chu Ge without any explicit reason.

Chu Ge gently shook his head, "There was nothing else."

Jian Chunqiu sighed, and said to Chu Ge, "However, obtaining an authentic work from Elder Dao Liu himself is proof of your connection with him."

Chu Ge looked puzzled, "What do you mean? Are Elder Dao Liu’s handmade furniture pieces difficult to buy?"

Jian Chunqiu nodded, "He is a bit eccentric, only crafting furniture for those with destiny. The number of furniture pieces he made can be counted on one hand, that he made so many for you, shows that he likes you."

Jian Chunqiu patted Chu Ge’s shoulder, "It’s rare to meet an Immortal. Even though five Immortals will receive invitations to the summit, whether they will attend is another matter. Elder Dao Liu wouldn’t spar with you for no reason. Reflect on it, maybe you’ve forgotten something."

Outside, Lin Zhang parked his car by the roadside and peered into the shop, immediately spotting Nangong Man Sha and Nangong Yunhai from the Nangong Family.

He was momentarily stunned, then took out his cellphone to start taking pictures.

The identity and status of Nangong Man Sha and Nangong Yunhai were significant in their Capital City. He didn’t expect such revered individuals to humble themselves and help in Chu Ge’s shop, which was quite unexpected.

Although he didn’t know if this news would be of any use to the Old Master, taking photos was better than not. Even if it wasn’t useful to the Old Master, selling the information to entertainment reporters later could garner a hefty price just for the mention of Nangong, let alone capturing both in one shot.

Thinking this, Lin Zhang continued to snap photos.

At this moment, Lin Dong, who had just finished work and was about to take a break, stepped out of the shop for some fresh air and immediately caught Lin Zhang in the act of taking photos.

Even though Lin Zhang’s face was covered in bruises, Lin Dong recognized him as the person who had been following them.

Lin Dong pointed at Lin Zhang and shouted, "Hey! What are you doing?"

His voice was loud, startling the people inside.

Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu came outside, just to see Lin Zhang hurriedly getting into his car. But before he could start the engine, Lin Dong, with the speed of lightning, swiftly ran to the driver’s side of Lin Zhang’s car, opened the door, and yanked Lin Zhang out.

The speed and strength were completely unexpected by Lin Zhang.

Before he could even realize what happened, he found himself lying on the ground, with Lin Dong, Chu Ge, and others surrounding him.

"You’ve been following us for a while, speak up! Who sent you!" Lin Dong admonished sternly.

Lin Zhang coughed lightly, attempting to get up from the ground, but Lin Dong’s strong arm pressed him down, rendering him unable to move, "Who said I was following you? I was just curious; this place hasn’t been open for a while and suddenly it is. Of course, I came to see."

Lin Dong, seeing his defiance, unintentionally pressed harder, causing Lin Zhang to gasp in pain. Looking up angrily at Lin Dong, he demanded, "What are you trying to do? Are you trying to incite a riot?"

Lin Dong chuckled at him, "You, a stalker, seem to know quite a bit. So quick to try and turn the tables. But you’re wrong about one thing. This isn’t inciting a riot, it’s called legitimate self-defense!

You’ve been following us since the villa, to the Farmer’s Market, and now you’ve come to our shop. What are your intentions!"
