The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard
Chapter 435 - 436: A Simple Task

Chapter 435: Chapter 436: A Simple Task

He didn’t believe that Honda Sakura would be so benevolent to offer him such a tempting deal to enter the upper-class, a goal that even a family would struggle for years, perhaps decades, to achieve.

Now that Honda Sakura was making such a request, it was hard for Lin to accept calmly.

Because both the input and the transaction were proportional, he didn’t believe that Honda Sakura would just let him into the upper class without a cost.

Honda Sakura was becoming increasingly satisfied with Lin, this cunning young man. She chuckled lightly and then said, "Actually, Mr. Lin doesn’t need to be so nervous. The task I want you to handle is very simple, it involves neither murder nor theft, and since we want to cooperate for the same person, naturally it should target that person, right?"

Lin thoughtfully nodded his head, "Are you wanting to target Chu Ge?"

Honda Sakura nodded, "Of course, Mr. Lin, your question really makes me have some doubts about you."

"What do you doubt?"

"I doubt your hatred towards Chu Ge." Honda Sakura aimed to probe just how much Lin hated Chu Ge, because if his hatred was not intense enough to want to kill Chu Ge, then she couldn’t entrust him with such a task.

If he failed, it would not be worth it.

Lin thought about everything he lost because of Chu Ge, and a nameless rage surged inside him.

His hands tightened around the arm of the sofa, and his gaze turned fierce.

"How much do I hate him? I wish Chu Ge were dead right now!" Lin said through gritted teeth.

The corners of Honda Sakura’s lips curled up slightly, seemingly very pleased with Lin’s response, then she smiled and said, "Since that’s the case, should our cooperation be pleasant?"

Honda Sakura raised her glass again, wanting to clink glasses with Lin.

However, Lin still didn’t move. His cold gaze fixed on Honda Sakura, he somewhat sneered, "Lady Xiao seems to have not yet told me what you specifically want me to do. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, but I need to see if I can afford this lunch."

Even if he hated Chu Ge, what if he was trapped by Honda Sakura and couldn’t extricate himself? That would truly be like losing both the lady and the troops.

Honda Sakura sighed lightly. Lin was really too shrewd. No matter what she said, he wouldn’t bite unless she told him exactly what she wanted him to do.

"I have a potion here that can seal the opponent’s Inner Strength. You must have seen downstairs just now, his martial arts are very formidable. Just help me administer this potion to Chu Ge, and I will help you enter high society, making you a true rich person."

While speaking, Honda Sakura suddenly paused, then with a meaningful look at Lin, cheerfully said, "What exactly is it about the Second Miss Shen from a small family like Shen Mimi’s that makes Mr. Lin go to such lengths to win her back? Once you’re rich, what woman couldn’t you have? At that time, all kinds of women would flock to you."

Lin was tempted, he asked doubtfully, "You really just want me to poison Chu Ge?"

Honda Sakura nodded.

"Is the poison only meant to seal Chu Ge’s martial arts?" Lin asked again.

Downstairs, Lin had seen Chu Ge’s power, and even suspected that it wasn’t Chu Ge’s full potential. He had doubts about facing Chu Ge directly, because after all, he was just an ordinary person.

But administering poison is different, as long as it’s done silently, who would know it was you who did it!

Especially for someone like Lin, who often engaged in petty theft, slipping poison seemed like a trivial task.

Honda Sakura nodded. "That’s right, it won’t endanger his life. I understand that in your country, murder is a punishable crime. I have also become a citizen of your country, hence whatever I do must adhere to your system. I have many more important things to do than dealing with Chu Ge, so all I want is to seal his martial arts.

Lin found it hard to believe because everything seemed too simple, so simple that it felt somewhat unreal.

"How can I believe what you’re saying?" Lin remained rational.

Honda Sakura pinched the bridge of her nose; this Lin, not only was he too shrewd, but also overly cautious. It was extremely difficult to gain his trust as he always guarded himself against others.

Honda Sakura didn’t hesitate and directly took out a bank card from the bag next to the sofa, and threw it in front of Lin, "This contains 30 million, your down payment. Does it show enough sincerity?"

Lin looked at the black card with gold plating, turning it over a few times, then looked up at Honda Sakura. It was merely poisoning, even if she reneged on her promise later, the 30 million was already enough.

Thus, Lin no longer hesitated and raised his glass to clink with Honda Sakura, "Pleasure doing business."

Just like that, the two reached an agreement.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian arrived at the Shen Family and coincidentally ran into Shen Conghai, who was injured all over, rushing towards them.

He saw Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian standing at the doorway, looking as if he had seen his saviors, but before he could ask for help, he passed out.

It was Huo Tianqian who, with sharp eyes, noticed him and carried him back to the Shen Family.

Inside Shen Conghai’s bedroom at the Shen Family’s house, Chu Ge checked on him and found that he had several internal injuries and even a broken rib.

"Second Young Master Shen has been badly beaten; has your family provoked some enemies recently?"

Chu Ge asked, puzzled.

As he spoke, he infused his True Qi into Shen Conghai’s body. The qi and blood in his body were already unstable, a strange current rampaging through his organs, wearing them down. Once Chu Ge’s True Qi entered, this current, as if an intruder had entered its territory, began to resist.

But it was no match, gradually being dissolved by Chu Ge’s True Qi.

Shortly after, the pale-faced Shen Conghai’s complexion began to restore some color. Seeing this, a very anxious Shen Xianli and Shen Congwen immediately relaxed.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu, for saving my son," Shen Xianli was extremely grateful. The Shen Family owed Mr. Chu too much, and he had no idea how to repay Mr. Chu’s kindness.

Chu Ge exhaled a breath of turbid air, reconnecting Shen Conghai’s last broken rib, before saying, "It was just a minor effort; Mr. Shen, please don’t mention it.

"Mr. Chu, what brings you to my house?" Shen Congwen asked, somewhat puzzled, also feeling fortunate that Chu Ge had come because, without him, who knows what might have happened to Shen Conghai.

Huo Tianqian explained from the side: "We found out that the Yamamoto Eagle Faction has sent a significant force to Su City, aiming to seize the Earth Ganoderma."
