The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 1681: Chapter 1667

Lin Dong chuckled, completely unaware that what he just said was a compliment to Chu Ge.

Nowadays, he has subtly shifted his attitude towards Chu Ge, and the change is quite apparent.

Jian Chunqiu looked at him with some surprise, yet felt a bit gratified.

"Alright, let’s continue discussing the matter regarding Nangong Yunxi." He cleared his throat and said, "According to my preliminary investigation, the chaos in time and space this time seems to be orchestrated by Nangong Yunxi behind the scenes."

Lin Dong also became serious, "What’s his motive for doing this?"

Jian Chunqiu gently shook his head, "I don’t know that yet, but it surely isn’t for good intentions."

"It’s simple; it’s definitely aimed at the Mystic Sky Tower." Ye Chen casually said while sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

Lin Dong scratched his head, still confused, "Even if it’s aimed at the Mystic Sky Tower, why cause such chaos in time and space?"

Jian Chunqiu pondered briefly and explained, "Actually, the chaos in time and space has happened long before. It has always been a latent risk for time and space, and happening again was just a matter of time. I just didn’t expect it to happen so soon after all these years."

"Master, if I’m not mistaken, wasn’t the chaos in time and space back then manipulated by the Old Palace Master?"

Ye Chen recalled that when he first joined Wufeng Palace, he hadn’t yet earned their true trust, so he wasn’t included in many activities. By the time he actually gained Wufeng Palace’s trust, the chaos was nearing its end, and the storm had passed.

However, thinking back now, the Old Palace Master hadn’t retired yet back then, and Wufeng Palace was just rising and needed development. But he still didn’t understand how this directly linked to the chaos in time and space. He took a deep breath, knowing that the answer was likely only clear to the Old Palace Master.

"It seems his methods have carried over to Nangong Yunxi."

Jian Chunqiu sneered, "No matter his ultimate goal, we must restrain him. If the chaos in time and space truly erupts, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Yes, and we still don’t know how Mr. Chu is doing in other spaces, nor have we had any news about Miss Man Sha."

Lin Dong said angrily, "So all of this is Nangong Yunxi’s doing? Does he not realize that causing such chaos in time and space also affects him? This kind of person who sacrifices eight hundred of his own just to damage a thousand of the enemy’s sure has a mind full of holes."

Jian Chunqiu pondered for a moment, then looked up to meet Chu Ge’s deep, wise eyes. After a while, he asked Chu Ge, "Chu Ge, what are your thoughts on this?"

Lin Dong and Ye Chen hadn’t expected Jian Chunqiu to suddenly ask Chu Ge, especially since Chu Ge wasn’t from their space and knew little about the chaos in time and space from years ago.

Chu Ge himself was surprised by Jian Chunqiu targeting him. He adjusted his seating posture, contemplated for a moment, and then said, "I think Nangong Yunxi’s motive might not be the Mystic Sky Tower."

If he was aiming for the Mystic Sky Tower, he wouldn’t need to go through such lengths.

"Lin Dong just mentioned a crucial point, which is that causing chaos in time and space is sacrificing eight hundred to damage a thousand. If Nangong Yunxi was simply targeting the Mystic Sky Tower, he wouldn’t need to do this. On the contrary, he’d need to rally numerous masters to help him achieve his dream of finding the Mystic Sky Tower."

Chu Ge furrowed his brows and hesitated for a moment before somewhat uncertainly saying, "I think he might have come for certain interests and relations, and creating chaos in time and space is key to achieving this goal."

Lin Dong found what he said utterly incomprehensible.

Seeing Ye Chen and Jian Chunqiu looking at him in confusion, Chu Ge lightly coughed, "These are just some of my own speculations. I’ve dealt with Nangong Yunxi before, and I feel he might be driven by certain interests, and I lean more toward family conflict."

In other words, Nangong Yunxi is targeting the Nangong Family.

With this said, Lin Dong suddenly had an epiphany and slammed the table, acting as if he knew it all, "I remember Miss Man Sha was the first to go missing, and it was Nangong Yunxi who sent the news from abroad, claiming he foresaw Miss Man Sha being in danger."

He chuckled angrily, "I always wondered how this person could predict things so accurately. Now it makes sense; it’s all his doing."

Jian Chunqiu finally felt there was some rationale in Chu Ge’s words. He nodded slightly, "When Nangong Yunxi’s mother died back then, Nangong Yunxi could already remember things. He would surely blame his mother’s death on the Nangong Family. With such motive, what Chu Ge said seems reasonable."

"If it’s true, should we inform Old Master Nangong in advance? What if Nangong Yunxi really takes action against the Nangong Family, then..."

Lin Dong looked at Jian Chunqiu with concern.

Jian Chunqiu, however, gently shook his head, "For now, let’s not mention it. Let’s just closely watch him. These are only speculations and aren’t backed by tangible evidence."

"We surely can’t just sit here waiting. I have a feeling something big might happen, and it’s making me anxious every day."

Lin Dong was quite agitated; they still had no word of Mr. Chu, and they didn’t know what to do.

The appearance of the Eighth Space-Time proved the third Time-Space Mirror also had issues, creating a significant challenge on how to repair it.

For a while, everyone fell into silence; no one spoke for quite some time.

Jian Chunqiu, having gone through many hardships, quickly regained his composure and said, "Alright, that’s it for today. Since we’ve learned who the puppet master is, we’ll focus on tracking him closely during this time."

Ye Chen was the first to stand up, "I’m rather interested in Ming Chong at the bar; I’ll go take a look."

With that, he strode out.

Lin Dong quickly stood as well, "Why take a look? She’s a person, not an object!"

His words were filled with protective intent. He promptly stood and chased after Ye Chen, not wanting Ye Chen to trouble Ming Chong.

Chu Ge stayed seated, as did Jian Chunqiu. He suspected Jian Chunqiu wanted to speak with him, so he remained unmoving.

Sure enough, Jian Chunqiu lightly coughed to ease his awkwardness, then smiled and said, "Chu Ge, I didn’t expect you to care so much about us all."
