Mr. Nangong’s pupils dilated in shock as he looked at Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, are you implying that there are traitors within the Nangong Family who are colluding with Shao Gang in secret?"
Without someone backing Shao Gang, how could he dare to confront the powerful Nangong Family?
Mr. Nangong slapped his forehead abruptly, although the Nangong Family was extensive, he did not have many children—only two sons and a daughter. He also had three younger brothers. He could be considered the head of the family, wielding the ’Life and Death Power’ of the Nangong Family.
Chu Ge gently shook his head, "I’m not clear on these matters, and it’s not my place to say."
Mr. Nangong nodded, laughing as he said: "I, Nangong Linchuan, cannot forget the life-saving grace of Mr. Chu. If you ever need help in Beijing, just speak the word. The Nangong Family still has some clout in Beijing."
Chu Ge knew that Mr. Nangong now fully trusted him.
Indeed, he had thoroughly cured the old master’s illness. Compared to Shao Gang, who hadn’t made any progress for many days, Chu Ge needed only a few minutes to heal the old master’s sickness, which indeed earned trust.
Chu Ge thanked the old master, "Your body has just recovered; you still need to rest well."
Mr. Nangong nodded, indeed feeling a bit tired now.
He slowly closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
Just as Mr. Nangong fell asleep, Nangong Man Sha returned.
"Is my grandfather okay?" Nangong Man Sha asked with concern as she saw the old master asleep.
Chu Ge nodded, "Don’t worry, he’s fine now. He’s just drained because his body just cleared a large amount of toxins, consuming a lot of Essence Blood. It’s normal for him to be tired."
Nangong Man Sha gratefully looked at Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, thank you for saving his life."
Chu Ge shook his head, his eyes signaling Nangong Man Sha to step outside to talk. Nangong Man Sha was momentarily stunned, but then followed Chu Ge out of the sickroom.
"Mr. Chu, is there something you want to speak to me about alone?" Nangong Man Sha asked.
Chu Ge said, "I suspect that the person who poisoned the old master and is now conspiring with Shao Gang is the same person. Even if not the same person, they are in cahoots."
If it weren’t the same person or group, with Shao Gang’s temperament, he would have told Mr. Nangong this important news already.
Nangong Man Sha pondered for a moment, feeling that Chu Ge made some sense. She sighed softly, "My grandfather becoming without even knowing he’s been framed—that is something we have never told him, always keeping it hidden. Now it has become an open secret, with only my grandfather left in the dark."
Chu Ge was slightly startled; no wonder Mr. Nangong did not show much outrage when the conspiracy with Shao Gang was mentioned.
Chu Ge sighed lightly; indeed, the world of the wealthy is full of conflicts and grudges.
Something occurred to Nangong Man Sha, and she looked up at Chu Ge, adding, "Mr. Chu, I have already instructed people to spread the word in Shanghai that the Nangong Family has no ties with the Ge Fan Group."
Nangong Man Sha mentioned this hoping that Chu Ge would reveal why he suddenly took such an interest in the Ge Fan Group. Knowing Chu Ge, he was certainly not the type to meddle without reason.
Chu Ge seemed to see the question in Nangong Man Sha’s mind. He said, "Not hiding from Miss Man Sha, the Ge Group in Shanghai was the first to suppress my company."
The shares of Jinxiu Group now mostly belonged to him, and besides, his fiancée was the president of the company—it wasn’t an exaggeration to call it his company.
Chu Ge was still somewhat worried that if he actively told Nangong Man Sha that the Ge Group was suppressing Jinxiu Group, it might prompt her to investigate and pay attention.
He didn’t want Mu Bingtong to be involved in any of this trouble.
Nangong Man Sha looked at Chu Ge with surprise. She had always thought of Chu Ge as a person of integrity, and never imagined he would start his own company.
Just as Nangong Man Sha was about to ask something, the ringtone of Chu Ge’s mobile phone sounded.
Chu Ge took out his phone and saw it was a call from Shen Congwen.
It seemed that he had arrived in Beijing with the Earth Ganoderma.
Answering the call, Chu Ge asked, "Are you in Beijing now?"
Amidst the noisy background on the other end, Shen Congwen said, "Mr. Chu, I’m at the train station now. Have you arrived in Beijing?"
Chu Ge hummed affirmatively, "I’ll come to pick you up shortly."
After ending the call, Chu Ge looked up at Nangong Man Sha and said, "Could you lend me a car? Shen Congwen has come to deliver the Earth Ganoderma."
Nangong Man Sha was puzzled, "Why is Shen Congwen bringing the Earth Ganoderma here?"
"I asked him to bring it over. The Earth Ganoderma is no longer of any use to me; I had him bring it for Mr. Nangong’s use."
Nangong Man Sha nodded, "I’ll come with you. Since Mr. Chu is new here, you might not be familiar with Beijing."
Chu Ge glanced at the Old Master who was sleeping soundly in the hospital room, "If you come with me, what about the Old Master?"
Nangong Man Sha was in a dilemma. Indeed, she wouldn’t feel at ease leaving her grandfather alone here.
Sigh, she should not have listened to her grandfather in the first place, leaving her alone with him. Even leaving a few bodyguards would have been better.
"How about this, I’ll call Yun Hai and have Yun Hai accompany you," Nangong Man Sha said as she took out her phone and dialed Yun Hai. It turned out Yun Hai was still in the underground parking lot of the hospital and hadn’t left.
Hearing the noisy background, Nangong Man Sha asked somewhat puzzled, "What’s happening there? Why is it so noisy?"
Nangong Yunhai said, "Nothing, sister, just a minor incident. I can handle it myself! Did you call me for something?"
"Yes, you need to drive with Chu Ge to the train station to pick up Shen Congwen."
"Shen Congwen is in Beijing?" Nangong Yunhai was surprised.
Just as Nangong Man Sha was about to say something, she heard someone shouting loudly on the other end, "The fuck you think I don’t exist? You’ve been on the phone for so long! You damaged my car! Hurry up and tell me how you’re going to compensate!"
Hearing that voice, Nangong Man Sha’s heart skipped a beat, "Yun Hai, did you get into a car accident?"
Nangong Yunhai cursed under his breath, "Sister, it’s nothing, I’ll come up and collect Mr. Chu in a bit."
Without waiting for Nangong Man Sha to respond, he hung up the phone.
Nangong Man Sha clenched her phone, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Seeing this, Chu Ge asked with confusion, "What’s wrong?"
"Yun Hai may have gotten into a car accident in the parking lot." Nangong Man Sha was anxious. With Nangong Yunhai’s temperament, it was certain that he would get into a fight. The voice she heard over the phone just now didn’t sound like someone easy to deal with.
Chu Ge raised his hand to pat Nangong Man Sha’s shoulder, reassuring her, "Leave it to me, I’ll go and see what’s happened."
