The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 688 - 590: You Owe Me a Life (Second Update)

"Mom, who is this?"

Chen Shangzheng quickly asked.

In the video displayed by Yang Tian using the Ghost Talisman, the soul of an old maid was conversing with an elderly man whose face was cold, clearly indicating he wasn't a good person.

But what puzzled Chen Shangzheng was that his mother knew this old man?

Madam Chen's expression was very grave: "He is your uncle! Your father's elder brother, and the rightful heir to the Chen Clan's leadership!"

"My uncle?"

Chen Shangzheng was shocked, standing there frozen.

Meanwhile, Yang Tian furrowed his brow, as he also hadn't expected that the one conspiring against the Chen Clan was actually Chen Ming's brother.

"So, the mastermind is Yang Tian's granduncle?" Wu Yue paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "But Yang Tian's granduncle is also a part of the Chen Clan, so why is he targeting the three young masters of the Chen Clan? And he didn't even spare Yang Tian's father, Chen Zheng. Is he trying to end the Chen Clan's lineage?"

"Mom, what's really going on here?"

Chen Shangzheng also looked toward Madam Chen.

Madam Chen's face was extremely grave. She continued watching the video recording from the Ghost Talisman and only spoke after it finished playing: "Your uncle had an accident back then. He was supposed to inherit the clan leader position of the Chen Clan, but after his accident, your father took over."

"What kind of accident did he have?"

Chen Shangzheng pressed on.

"It was a car accident, and he fell off a cliff. We couldn't even find his body. Unexpectedly, not only did he survive, but he also came back to mess with our Chen Clan!"

Madam Chen's face was incredibly cold.

Chen Shangzheng clenched his fists and said coldly, "In that case, we'll go and kill that scoundrel!"

"I'm afraid that if we take action, we won't be able to counter him!" Madam Chen looked toward Yang Tian: "Tian, you're a cultivator. You go and eliminate him. Although he's your granduncle, he's conniving against the Chen Clan. We absolutely can't let him live another day!"

Yang Tian's face was silent.

He first retrieved the Ghost Talisman and then asked: "Madam Chen, let me ask you directly. This elderly man was originally supposed to inherit the Chen Clan's leadership. Why did he suddenly fall off a cliff? He didn't die but wants to end the Chen Clan's lineage, which shows he harbors deep resentment and hatred for the Chen Clan. If the Chen Clan did nothing wrong to him, he wouldn't be so persistent!"

The surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

Wu Yue and Ling Ying both looked at Madam Chen.

They thought Yang Tian's words made a lot of sense.

If the Chen Clan didn't wrong the elder, why is he so intent on ending the Chen Clan's lineage?

Madam Chen's face turned a bit pale, and she was stuck there, unable to answer Yang Tian's question for a moment.

"Mom, what's the situation?"

Seeing Madam Chen's face turn somewhat pale, Chen Shangzheng quickly asked.

"This..."

Madam Chen's eyes were full of hesitation.

"Madam Chen, at this point, just tell us everything. Our enemy isn't the people of the Chen Clan; it's the Corpse Demon."

Yang Tian said lightly.

Madam Chen's face changed several times. After a long while, she sighed and said, "Alright, I'll tell you the truth. Back then, I and Chen Ming conspired against him. Your ancestor, Chen Tian, left a will that Chen Ji should inherit the leadership of the Chen Clan. Chen Ming and I planned everything in secret, but we didn't intend to kill him. We just wanted to create news of his death. In private, we captured him and sent him to Southeast Asia, intending for him to enjoy his old age. But unexpectedly, he came back..."

"Did he come back for revenge?"

Chen Shangzheng furrowed his brow.

He never thought that his three brothers were turned into shadows of their former selves by their own uncle.

"So what should we do next? Should we kill this Chen Ji?"

Wu Yue asked.

Madam Chen fell silent, eyes showing complex emotions.

Yang Tian shrugged his shoulders: "If it's really as Madam Chen said, then it's simple; we should just reconcile. However, since his whereabouts are unpredictable, everything has to wait until he shows up. If there's nothing else, the three of us should head back."

"Tian, you're going back? This is your home!"

Chen Shangzheng anxiously said.

Madam Chen also said, "Tian, if you stay here, only then will the Chen Clan be safe."

"On the contrary, if I stay here, the Chen Clan won't be safe!" Yang Tian said lightly, "Chen Ji likely wants to end the Chen Clan's lineage, so he will target me first. I'll wait for him outside."

After Yang Tian said this, he waved to Wu Yue and Ling Ying, signaling them to leave.

Although Wu Yue didn't want to leave the Chen Clan, she felt Yang Tian must have something to say, so she followed suit and left the Chen Clan.

Madam Chen and Chen Shangzheng exchanged a look but didn't stop Yang Tian.

When they walked out of the Chen Clan's gate, Wu Yue asked, "Yang Tian, do you have something to tell us?"

"Do you believe what Madam Chen said? Chen Ji hates the Chen Clan so much; do you think Madam Chen didn't intend to kill Chen Ji back then?"

Yang Tian asked.

"I think for Madam Chen and Chen Ming to inherit the Chen Clan's business empire, they must be ruthless!"

Ling Ying said.

"So, back then, Madam Chen and Chen Ming must have tried to eliminate Chen Ji, which is why Chen Ji holds such a grudge against the Chen Clan?"

Wu Yue stated and then nodded.

Because she felt this explanation was reasonable.

After all, in a big family like the Chen Clan, infighting is inevitable.

"This is their business; we'll just take care of the Corpse Demon and leave. As for Chen Ji's matter, we don't need to get involved; let them fight among themselves."

Yang Tian shrugged.

But Wu Yue was somewhat reluctant: "Yang Tian, I think we should eliminate Chen Ji. This would make Madam Chen more willing to let us inherit the Chen Clan's business empire."

"If you want to go, go by yourself. Don't drag me into it!"

Yang Tian said.

"Yang Tian, if you keep treating me this way, I'll divorce you!"

Wu Yue, without getting along, threatened to leave Yang Tian again.

Yang Tian laughed: "I say, beautiful CEO, can you come up with something new? You keep saying you'll leave me, but if you really wanted to, you would have done so by now. Can you bear to give up on the Chen Clan's business empire?"

Wu Yue became somewhat indignant and suddenly said, "Yang Tian, I want to test whether you truly love me!"

"How do you want to test me?"

Yang Tian laughed.

Ling Ying also found it amusing: "Yue, tell us quickly, how do you want to test him?"

Wu Yue looked at Yang Tian and said, "If my mom and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"

"This kind of question again? This question has no answer!"

Ling Ying was speechless.

On the side, Yang Tian answered decisively: "Save my mom!"

"Why?"

Wu Yue asked instinctively.

"Because my mom gave birth to me; I'm her son. My life was given by her, so I owe her my life!"

Yang Tian said seriously.

"What if you also owe me a life?"

Wu Yue said somewhat indignantly.

"Do I owe you a life too?" Yang Tian glanced at Wu Yue's stunning figure, laughed happily, and said, "I'll repay you at the hotel later."

"Repay me? Wait, are you trying to get me pregnant?" Wu Yue was angry: "Yang Tian, you pervert!"
