The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard
Chapter 282: Kill Chu Ge

Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Kill Chu Ge

"So you’re saying, the person ran away, no news at all, and you just called me over to be a bodyguard because you’re afraid of dying?" Chu Ge looked at Duan Shaojie, his tone gradually turning cold.

Suddenly, Duan Shaojie’s entire body stiffened, he dared not even breathe out, cold sweat dripping down his cheeks one drop at a time.

At this moment, Chu Ge slightly released some of the pressure he had been exerting, pressing down on Duan Shaojie like a mountain.

"No, Mr. Chu, I definitely did not mean that."

It must be said, Duan Shaojie’s willpower was commendable, under such pressure he did not collapse and kneel like ordinary people would, but explained nervously, "Now, whether it is the contingencies left behind by Old Duan or the assets from the Ghost Poison Sect, all have been suppressed to the extreme, just one step away from disaster, and here I am, almost completely unscathed. So, within these next couple of days, they will definitely make a move!"

At this point, Duan Shaojie paused, observing Chu Ge’s expression before cautiously continuing, "Moreover, I’m just an ordinary person, if they want to kill me, it only takes a moment, and if I encountered them and then tried to notify you, I fear it would be too late!"

Chu Ge’s expression gradually softened, and the pressure bearing down on Duan Shaojie dissipated instantly.

Duan Shaojie’s legs went weak, nearly causing him to kneel, but fortunately, he managed to support himself by grabbing onto a nearby tree trunk, gasping heavily.

Actually, Chu Ge understood all of these reasonings, he was just seeing how pompous Duan Shaojie had become recently, fearing he might develop some crooked ideas, hence he took the opportunity to give him a warning.

"Go back, these next few days, I’ll be keeping an eye on you," Chu Ge said indifferently, then tapped the ground with his right foot, and like a large bird, took to the air and disappeared over the rooftops.

Looking in the direction Chu Ge left, a hint of reluctance flashed through Duan Shaojie’s eyes, but he quickly masked it and turned to head to his room.

That night, no one in the Duan Family could sleep well, including Duan Shaojie.

At this moment, Duan Shaojie, as usual, sat in his room, his gaze fixed intently on the front door.

He had been in this state for several days now, ever since the Three Major Families began to make their moves, he was constantly in a state of crisis, having witnessed the methods of the Ghost Poison Sect, there was simply no sense of security left.

It was also fortunate that his twisted values and willpower allowed him to endure this torment.

The small building where Duan Shaojie lived alone was the most heavily guarded in the entire Duan Family, with several dozens of bodyguards patrolling around, not to mention those hidden in dark corners.

However, if the people from the Ghost Poison Sect really made a move, this seemingly tight defense would be practically useless.

Just like right now!

A man wearing a black robe, a black hood, and a red ghost mask covering his face stood in front of Duan Shaojie, even Duan Shaojie himself was unaware of when this Ghost-faced Man had appeared.

"Can’t hold back anymore, can you?" Having been nervously on guard for several days, but when a person from the Ghost Poison Sect actually appeared before him, Duan Shaojie was unusually calm.

The Ghost-faced Man seemed quite interested in his words, stayed silent for a while, then said in a deep, powerful voice, "You don’t seem surprised by my arrival?"

"A bit surprised, but I guessed as much," Duan Shaojie took a deep breath, looked at the Ghost-faced Man and said, "These days, the resources in your hands have been pushed to the limit, while mine are almost unharmed. According to the style of the Ghost Poison Sect, you were bound to come after me eventually; I just didn’t expect you to come this soon."

As he spoke, his hand stealthily reached towards a drawer, inside was a cell phone, just one press of a button would notify Mr. Chu on the other end!

However, before he could touch the phone, a soft sound rang out, and a black dart was already pinned in front of his fingertips, less than a centimeter away from his finger!

"A small warning, if you dare to make any small moves again, the next dart won’t just be pinned on the table, but in your head," the Ghost-faced Man warned as he toyed with the dart in his hand.

Duan Shaojie gave a wry smile, and honestly drew his hand back, "Speak up, what exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing that the Ghost-faced Man seemed ready to say something, Duan Shaojie waved his hand, "No need to talk about killing me, if you really were going to kill me, with the Ghost Poison Sect’s way of doing things, I wouldn’t even see you before being mysteriously poisoned. Since you’ve personally come to see me, you must want something."

Clearly, the Ghost-faced Man did not expect Duan Shaojie to play his cards so unpredictably.

After being slightly stunned for a few seconds, he finally said, "Haha, Duan Congxing really made a bad move, if he had handed the Duan Family to you, it might have been more glorious than now."

"There are no ’ifs’ now," Duan Shaojie shook his head, his tone somewhat cold, "The old man is eventually dead, isn’t he? And even if he were still alive, knowing that I still have these hidden talents, his first reaction wouldn’t be to support me as the Family Head, but to eliminate me by any means necessary."

What Duan Shaojie said was the truth, so the Ghost-faced Man did not say anything further.

"I want the resources in your hands, and I want you to cooperate with us."

Hearing the words of the Ghost-faced Man, Duan Shaojie showed an interested expression, "Cooperate? I only hold one-third of the Duan Family, if I give it all to you, I’m just an ordinary person, how can we cooperate?"

"Don’t play dumb in front of me!"

The Ghost-faced Man seemed very impatient, roaring at Duan Shaojie, and said coldly, "You have connections with the Three Major Families, and even with Chu Ge, right?"

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Duan Shaojie’s expression changed, but he quickly recovered.

He had already thought through it, the other party must know about this.

"Humph, just as I thought!" the Ghost-faced Man sneered, looking at Duan Shaojie, "Actually, you were already on our hit list, but if you cooperate with us, not only will you not die, but we might also consider recruiting you into the Ghost Poison Sect, from then on becoming brothers!"

"Oh?" Faced with such conditions, Duan Shaojie also showed an interested expression, "Such generous conditions! Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?"

However, his eyes flashed with disdain.

The Ghost-faced Man apparently did not notice, and looking seriously at Duan Shaojie, said, "It’s simple, I want you to cooperate with us, to kill Chu Ge!"
