The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 1331: Raising Money to Kill Someone

Lin Guohao raised his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.

He stubbed out his cigarette and addressed the group, "At this point, relying on normal methods is no longer enough to bring down Lin Yingying. We’re all insiders here, so I’ll be straightforward. My brother-in-law knows a powerful figure from the Cultivation World. His mana is overwhelming, and his influence is immense—he’s practically a god in the Guandong area. If we invite him, dealing with a woman like her won’t be a problem."

"Then invite him! What are we waiting for?"

"We support you."

"Guohao, if you can bring down Lin Yingying, we’ll elect you as the company’s CEO."

"..."

A group of people readily agreed to Lin Guohao’s suggestion.

Lin Guohao coughed lightly and said, "Inviting someone isn’t done with just words. The key is being willing to spend money. This master has nothing to do with us; he’s not going to act like Lei Feng and come all the way here to suffer just out of kindness. We had an initial discussion, and to deal with people like Lin Yingying and Long Fei, this is the price he offered!"

He raised a finger, prompting everyone to exchange curious glances and ask, "One million?"

Lin Guohao exclaimed, "You dare to say that out loud? One million is just the travel expense. Lin’s Group is worth how much now—you all know the figure. A company with billions in profits, and you only dare to offer one million?"

"Then how much?"

The group’s curiosity was piqued.

Lin Guohao said solemnly, "One hundred million. Not only will he help, but he’ll offer support afterward, ensuring Lin Yingying’s entire family disappears without leaving a trace for the authorities to find."

Everyone present frowned deeply. One hundred million? Even if they were sold off, they couldn’t come up with that much money.

They could offer moral support, cheer him on from the sidelines.

But when it came to actual money, they each acted like stingy misers.

Lin Guohao sighed, "Raise your heads and look around at all of you, with your tightfisted expressions. With this kind of resolve, you still dream of achieving great things?"

The group complained, "Guohao, you know just as well as we do—while we seem glamorous, none of us actually has much cash. A hundred million? Selling us off wouldn’t even cover it!"

Lin Guohao admonished, "Did I say you’d have to cover all of it? What I mean is—I’ll take the biggest share, and you each contribute a smaller amount. If you can’t manage a hundred million, surely you can scrape together ten million?"

"Hmm?"

Everyone raised their eyebrows in surprise, not expecting Lin Guohao to be so generous, reducing the amount tenfold in one go.

Yu Ling was the first to speak up, "I’ll contribute five million. As long as I can avenge my son, I’ll give everything I have."

With her taking the lead, the others quickly became more willing.

The dozen or so people collectively settled on five million per person, with each contributing a maximum of fifty thousand—not much of a burden.

They quoted their amounts one by one and emphatically reminded Lin Guohao, "Guohao, we’re all on the same boat now. Once this succeeds, you better not abandon us!"

Lin Guohao chuckled, "Look at what you’re saying. Once this succeeds, and Lin’s Group is back under my control, you’ll all be heroes."

"Alright, we’ll pay the money."

"We’ll wait for your good news."

"Guohao, we’re counting on you!"

One by one, they handed over checks and phones, transferring the money to Lin Guohao on the spot.

They understood that if Lin Yingying wasn’t brought down, they’d have no hope of ever making big money.

In fact, they might even get kicked out.

Lin Guohao was pleased; the truth was, he didn’t need to spend a dime to bring the Guandong master here.

After all, this master had sought Lin Guohao out voluntarily.

He shared Lin Guohao’s goals—he held deep hatred toward Long Fei and Lin Yingying.

This grudge dated back to the time of Binhai City’s former real estate magnates, the Wuu Family.

The Wuu Family had hired Ma the Fifth from the Guandong Ma Family to kidnap Lin Shanshan and use her to threaten Long Fei.

However, Long Fei had gone directly to confront them and killed Ma the Fifth.

The Ma Family never forgot this debt.

Later, when Ma Dazhi, a disciple of the Ma Family, followed Long Fei and joined the Dragon Group,

only then did Ma the Fifth’s direct relatives calm their anger, choosing to wait quietly.

Recently, however, there were changes in Guandong’s Cultivation World—they found a new patron.

And so, their first target was Long Fei. They wanted vengeance for Ma the Fifth.

Lin Guohao didn’t know about these underlying issues.

He only knew that the Guandong master had extraordinary methods and shared a vendetta against Long Fei. To Lin Guohao, this was like a blessing from above, and he had eagerly agreed to cooperate, offering intelligence on Long Fei to the master.

Now that Long Fei had returned,

Lin Guohao notified the master, and they planned to act within the next two days.

None of this escaped the ears of the Yin Yang Sect, which was responsible for gathering information.

Long Fei, while leaving Binhai City with his family, received the news on his phone.

He didn’t tell anyone; he didn’t want to disrupt the vacation atmosphere.

On the nearby beach, the seasonal cold had left a thin layer of frost on the surface.

Fangzhang Island was quite a distance away, so to save time, Long Fei took out a magic artifact resembling a dragon boat and had Lin Yingying and the others sit on top of it.

These items were ones he had taken from others.

During a past confrontation at Tianzhu Mountain, he’d killed several elders, whose storage rings were like treasure troves, containing all sorts of valuables.

This dragon boat was an impressive spatial treasure, carved from the Void Treasure Tree that grows upon Void Crystal Stones.

Void Crystal Stones are small fragments of space scattered throughout the universe, imbued with abundant spatial laws.

Most storage rings are made from Void Crystal Stones, and because the Void Treasure Tree absorbs the spatial laws from the stones, its wood naturally carries space power.

Once activated with spiritual power, it can travel through the void at an incredible speed.

The Banished Immortal Chang Xi of the Immortal King Star often used the Luminous Pillar, which came from plants growing on Void Crystal Stones.

Lin Shanshan climbed aboard, holding the Little Kirin, and curiously asked, "Brother-in-law, are you seriously taking us to sea on this little boat?"

The Little Kirin, feeling somewhat dizzy on the boat, hid nervously in Lin Shanshan’s arms and said, "Daddy, this boat is so narrow. If a wave hits us, won’t we just end up in the ocean?"

Only Lin Yingying remained calm, sitting with a smile. "Don’t worry, if the boat overturns, Mommy will protect you!"

The Little Kirin laughed sheepishly. Despite being a Divine Beast, it was naturally afraid of water.

Creatures of fire generally dislike water.

Long Fei climbed aboard and sat behind Lin Yingying, instructing everyone to prepare themselves. With a thought, he activated his spiritual power.

The Void Dragon Boat glimmered brightly, encasing everyone inside.

With a sudden swoosh, Lin Yingying and the others could only hear the sound of wind rushing past, everything else a blur.

In mere moments, the scenery around them transformed, and they arrived on the sea near the outskirts of Fangzhang Island.

Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan adapted quickly, but the Little Kirin, experiencing magic artifact sea travel for the first time, leaned over and vomited.

Lin Yingying patted his back and scolded Long Fei, "Why did you go so fast? Look at what you’ve done to the child!"

Long Fei chuckled awkwardly, "It’s my first time using this; I’ll get the hang of it next time."

The Little Kirin rinsed his mouth with water, then excitedly declared, "I’m fine! Next time, let’s go even faster—that was thrilling!"

"Thrilling? Seriously, you need to settle down. None of you ever let me relax!"

Lin Yingying lightly tapped his head and began nagging.

As she spoke, clusters of shrimp-headed and fish-headed creatures suddenly emerged from the surrounding waters.

Each was about the size of a person, armed with fish forks. The Little Kirin stared at them in amazement, pointing and shouting, "Daddy, look! There are mermaids and mer-shrimps here!"
