Chapter 277: Chapter 297: Actually Coming to My Doorstep by Themselves? _1

"You want to do it?"

Wei Qinggang’s eyes lit up: "This Chu Songhan is not so easy to deal with."

Lin Chen smiled indifferently: "Someone has to do it. I think you all are willing to take action against the Chu family, but as for dealing with a mysterious grandmaster killer, you might be reluctant."

Leng Yucheng, Xu Lanshan, and Wei Qinggang all showed some embarrassment on their faces since Lin Chen spoke the truth.

When dealing with the Chu family, the four could join forces and destroy them in a swift battle, as long as the plan was thorough and foolproof. Even if there were any accidents and someone escaped, wouldn’t the entire Chu family still be under everyone’s control? Eventually, there would be someone the enemy cared about, right?

With such restraint, it would ensure that the enemy wouldn’t act wildly, making it easy to deal with the situation completely and successfully.

However, in dealing with Chu Songfeng, who wasn’t willing to be the forerunner, lacking a sure-win guarantee, it’s because he’s an emotionless killer.

Capable of forcing himself on his sister-in-law and crippling his cousin, this man obviously didn’t care about what his family thought. Once he acted but failed to kill him, it would undoubtedly provoke a brutal and manic retaliation.

If Lin Chen was willing to take the lead, it would be perfect.

Wei Qinggang laughed: "We have big family businesses and many people, so we have a lot to care about. We’re not as free and easy as you, Lin Chen. If you can kill Chu Songhan first, we have no objections to you getting an extra share from the Wei family’s side."

Xu Lanshan nodded: "The Xu family has no objections."

Leng Yucheng smiled: "Lin Chen saved my life, so naturally, I have no objections."

Lin Chen said crisply: "Let’s discuss the details. If I take care of Chu Songhan, we’ll proceed. If I don’t, we’ll postpone and wait for another opportunity. Agreed?"

"Agreed!"

With Lin Chen solving the most concerning issue, there were no more problems left to tackle.

Wei family revealed the estimated combat strength of all Chu family cultivators and the four families assembled enough power to allocate accordingly based on these results.

"Let’s do it during Mid-Autumn Festival. According to Chu family traditions, they would host a banquet at their ancestral house, gathering all cultivators and important figures. This would be the perfect time to strike, capturing all the cultivators at once."

"Agreed, let’s tentatively set it for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone will prepare their forces, then gather under the pretext of celebrating the festival, before launching a surprise attack."

"Good!"

After the attack plan was settled, they discussed the distribution of benefits.

Since the grandmaster strength contributed by all four parties was equal, they would split it four ways, each receiving 25%, but because Lin Chen would eliminate the big trouble of Chu Songhan, he would receive an extra 10%, which meant he would get 35% of the Chu family’s business to distribute.

Apart from the Leng family, who were just joining in for a share, the main goal of the Wei family was to annihilate the Chu family and settle the longstanding grudge among generations, whereas the Xu family aimed to eliminate competitors to monopolize their business. As for Lin Chen, he sought to investigate his origin, avenge his father, and help Chu Jiaxue take revenge as a side mission.

Since everyone had their own goals, in terms of distribution of benefits, they didn’t take it too seriously as long as it was relatively fair.

After the discussions, they all relaxed. Lin Chen also received the information sent by Wei Qinggang.

Lin Chen glanced through it and forwarded it to Bat.

Lin Chen: "Help me find out about this person’s whereabouts. If you can determine his current location, that would be best."

Bat: "OK!"

After enjoying a delicious meal, everyone went their separate ways. For the sake of confidentiality, they all rode in ordinary sedans with ordinary license plates instead of their usual cars.

Lin Chen had just returned to the hotel when he received a message from Bat.

Bat: "Brother Jun, guess what I found?"

Lin Chen looked and immediately became excited, as this seemed to be good news.

Lin Chen: "What good news? Tell me."

Bat: "I could only find his information from earlier years, and there’s nothing after he went abroad. I presume he used a fake identity to move around overseas. However, I accidentally found his travel records through the airline system. He booked a ticket to return to Linhai tonight."

Lin Chen sat up straight in his chair.

Return to Linhai?

Wouldn’t he have to give him a big welcome gift then?

The previous attempts of the three grandmasters from the Chu family to deal with him had failed, and it was unlikely they would attempt something like that again since he wouldn’t give them the same opportunity. As a result, they had called back Chu Songhan to secretly kill him.

Although Chu Xuankong and the other Chu family members were formidable fighters, they were obviously no match for the professional killer Chu Songhan in terms of assassination.

During the daytime, he was thinking of where to find Chu Songhan, and surprisingly, he was coming back on his own!

At this point, Chu Songhan hasn’t yet returned, and regardless of whether he received the mission to kill him or not, he surely hadn’t entered into a prepared state. Moreover, he wouldn’t expect Lin Chen to know of his return and naturally wouldn’t be on guard.

A grandmaster returning after many years would probably have mixed emotions, right?

A successful assassination involving grandmasters relies on both aware and unaware parties. If the assassin can suddenly attack, causing heavy damage, it becomes much easier to finish off the target with a second blow.

Lin Chen: "What time?"

Bat: "UK8372 Flight, arriving at 1:25 AM."
