The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 649: Chapter 0651: Nangong Sanli

Everyone had gathered outside, where the surrounding scenery of the villa no longer surprised anyone. They all greeted Old Master Nangong in unison, and only after he nodded did they stand up straight nearby.

With so many people suddenly around him, Chu Ge could easily ignore them as if they didn’t exist. Even if he didn’t dismiss them, they couldn’t affect him in the slightest, but considering they were all from the Nangong Family and by the look of things, they probably had something to discuss with Old Master Nangong. Staying there felt somewhat inappropriate.

"Old Master, why don’t you have your talk first? I’ll come find you later," Chu Ge said as he got up and left the Old Mansion. noveldrama

The people inside were discussing family affairs, and as an outsider, Chu Ge didn’t find it appropriate to listen. Moreover, according to the agreement with Old Master Nangong, now was the perfect opportunity to create for those individuals a chance to steal the Earth Ganoderma. If they had any spiritual insight, this would be the time they chose to act.

Everyone was in the hall, leaving only Shao Gang free to act.

Being an Ancient Martial Artist, Shao Gang would not be easily watched by ordinary people, so it was perfect to have Chu Ge deal with him.

However, what Chu Ge didn’t expect was that Nangong Man Sha also followed him out.

"Mr. Chu," Nangong Man Sha approached with a smile.

Chu Ge glanced at her and asked, "Why did you come out? Weren’t you supposed to have a family meeting?"

Nangong Man Sha shook her head, "Actually, it’s not really a family meeting. Grandpa has just been discharged from the hospital, and there’s been a lot of mishandling at home, which has angered the Old Master. So, a family meeting was called, or in other words, a criticism session."

Chu Ge smiled, "It seems that Miss Man Sha is very obedient, participating in the criticism session."

Nangong Man Sha gave Chu Ge a glance, pridefully saying, "I am my grandpa’s pride. He wouldn’t bear to scold me."

Chu Ge merely smiled, not continuing the conversation, but inwardly he was contemplating how to send Nangong Man Sha away.

The two of them strolled around the Old Mansion, and Chu Ge, looking at the surroundings, couldn’t help but admit that the Old Master had a great knack for picking locations. Although the environment and scenery here were not the best in Capital City, the place was replete with Spiritual Energy.

"Did your grandpa personally choose this place?" Chu Ge asked curiously.

As far as he knew about Old Master Nangong, he didn’t understand Ancient Martial Arts nor could he tell the place was abundant with Spiritual Energy, which made it a good location for cultivating one’s mind and body.

Nangong Man Sha shook her head, "At first, when grandpa bought this piece of land, everyone in the family was against it, even grandpa himself was not satisfied with it. It was only after meeting a fortune teller who said this land had an outstanding and spiritually enriching aura that my grandpa, a believer in ghosts and spirits, decided to buy it.

Later on, grandpa’s businesses thrived, just as the fortune teller predicted, so grandpa decided to continue living here. Only later did he expand the premises; now, this entire periphery belongs to the Nangong Family."

Chu Ge nodded, no wonder the Old Master chose this place.

Although the scenery was a bit unique, the abundance of Spiritual Energy made up for it.

After walking with Nangong Man Sha for a while, Chu Ge checked the time and felt it was about right. He said to Nangong Man Sha, "Miss Man Sha, I’m suddenly feeling a bit tired, let’s go back."

Nangong Man Sha was startled, her gaze puzzled as she looked at Chu Ge. In her memory, Chu Ge never complained of tiredness, especially since he was a high-level Ancient Martial Arts practitioner. The concept of fatigue simply didn’t apply to him.

Nangong Man Sha looked at Chu Ge skeptically and asked, "Mr. Chu, is there something you need to do?"

Chu Ge sighed softly, shaking his head, he said: "Miss Man Sha, being too intelligent can shorten one’s lifespan."

Nangong Man Sha shrugged indifferently, "My life was meant to be short anyway."

Someone had once told her she wouldn’t live past twenty-five, and after meeting Chu Ge, it had only extended her life by four or five years.

Compared to others, she was still considered short-lived.

Chu Ge paused for a moment, then remembering her medical condition, he mused before saying: "Miss Man Sha, rest assured, I will cure you."

Nangong Man Sha looked up, her gaze met Chu Ge’s, and as she clearly saw her own reflection in Chu Ge’s eyes, an inexplicable sense of peace settled in her heart.

She didn’t know why she felt this way, but she believed that as long as Chu Ge was there, she would live a long life.

"I believe in you."

Nangong Man Sha smiled and then added: "Since Mr. Chu is busy, I won’t bother you any longer. I’ll head back now. If there’s anything you need, just give me a call."

Chu Ge nodded, "I will."

After taking a couple of steps, Nangong Man Sha seemed to remember something, turned back and said: "Mr. Chu, regarding the paperwork for the Gambling Stone Field, everything is on track, just waiting for the documents. However, about the inventory for the Gambling Stone Field..."

Chu Ge smiled faintly and said: "Regarding the inventory, Miss Man Sha needn’t worry. I have my own channels."

Nangong Man Sha thought about it, and given Mr. Chu’s capabilities, there was no need for her to trouble herself further, so she didn’t say anything more, "Then Mr. Chu, see you later."

Chu Ge nodded, watching Nangong Man Sha leave before slowly composing himself, he looked towards the direction of the Old Mansion. At this time, everyone would be sitting in the main hall, and the front door would be impossible to enter. If Shao Gang intended to make a move, it could only be through the kitchen’s back door!

Thinking this, Chu Ge made his way to the kitchen’s back door. Perhaps Old Master Nangong had informed them in advance, for when he entered through the back door, the busy servants only glanced at him once, respectfully greeted him as ’Mr. Chu’, and then busied themselves with their work once more.

The kitchen was not small, with three or four people preparing tonight’s dinner.

Chu Ge curiously approached, pretending to look around idly before moving next to a young-looking boy and asked out of curiosity: "Apart from me, has anyone else been here just now?"

The boy was startled, then nodded, "Yes, the third master was here once and just left."

The third master? Nangong Sanli?

"What was he doing in the kitchen?"

Chu Ge muttered, but did not continue to inquire further.

The encounter with the kitchen boy did not reveal Shao Gang’s whereabouts, which somewhat surprised Chu Ge. Could it be Shao Gang won’t make a move today?

Speculating in his mind, Chu Ge left the kitchen and went up the stairs to the second-floor study, only to find that the door was open.

The corners of Chu Ge’s lips curved into a hint of coldness, he stepped forward, pushed the door open, and as he saw the person inside, he was momentarily stunned.
