The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 662: Chapter 0664: Dragon Head Boss

The surroundings were pitch black and silent. Even the bodyguards patrolling the hallway moved lightly, not making a sound.

Shao Gang’s room was also dark. From the window, it looked like he was already asleep. Inside, the thick blackout curtains had been pulled shut by Shao Gang, who was crouching under the desk with a small candle lit. The candle did not illuminate much, but it was enough for Shao Gang.

Beneath the candle, there was a white cloth spread out, not very big, just about the size of a hand. On the cloth, there were several dried herbs, which Shao Gang was crushing into a powder.

Soon, he finished preparing the powder. It was his unique secret formula. Previously, to help Mr. Nangong relax, he had burned incense in Mr. Nangong’s room. His plan now was to sneak into Mr. Nangong’s room and mix this powder into the incense so that Mr. Nangong would keep sleeping, regardless of the noise Shao Gang might make, unless the effects of the medicine wore off.

Shao Gang carefully wrapped the powder in paper, patiently waiting by his door.

He wore a watch on his wrist, the hands ticking away. Suddenly, it was midnight, the time when the bodyguards outside change shifts.

Carefully, he opened the door without making a sound in the quiet night. He looked around and saw no sign of the bodyguards.

Feeling his way along the wall, Shao Gang quickly slipped toward Old Master Nangong’s room. Fortunately, his room was close to Old Master Nangong’s, and he soon arrived.

Gently turning the doorknob, Shao Gang slid in quickly like an eel, closed the door, and then patted his chest. Being a thief really made one feel guilty.

Standing just inside the door, Shao Gang could hear Old Master Nangong snoring. Old Master Nangong had some breathing issues, which always caused him to snore. This also meant that his sleep was particularly unstable, often suffering from insomnia. That was why Shao Gang had previously burned incense for him, which was meant to be calming.

Following the path he remembered, Shao Gang slowly made his way to where Old Master Nangong kept his incense burner. His leg bumped several times because all the blackout curtains in the room were drawn, blocking any moonlight from outside. Although Shao Gang had a flashlight with him, since he hadn’t yet put the medicine powder in the incense burner, he kept it stashed in his pocket, not daring to take it out.

After feeling his way to the incense burner, Shao Gang opened it and leaned in to smell it. It definitely contained the same spices he’d prepared earlier for Old Master Nangong.

Opening the paper wrapper, he sprinkled the white powder inside. After about one or two minutes, Shao Gang finally took out his flashlight from his pocket.

Since he had taken an antidote beforehand, no matter how strong the medicine powder was, it had no effect on him.

I don’t know if it’s because of the Medicine Powder’s effect, but Mr. Nangong’s snoring gradually became quieter, and this seemed to be within Shao Gang’s expectation, so he merely shone his flashlight from a distance onto Mr. Nangong’s bed, faintly seeing someone lying there. He didn’t look closely, instead, he turned and walked towards the small study room within Mr. Nangong’s room.

With the Nangong Family being so large, it naturally had its own study room. However, Mr. Nangong had created another small study within his own room, which, except for Mr. Nangong himself, none of his sons or grandchildren had ever entered, indicating that the items inside were extremely important.

At this moment, inside the small study room, Chu Ge was hiding behind a row of bookshelves, and standing close beside him was Nangong Man Sha.

He had long anticipated that Shao Gang would come to steal the Earth Ganoderma, so he and Nangong Man Sha had hidden here early, just waiting to catch Shao Gang red-handed.

Why say standing closely? Initially, the two were standing apart, but suddenly Nangong Man Sha said she was cold, and then kept squeezing towards Chu Ge. Helpless, Chu Ge could only keep stepping aside until he was backed into a corner, with no way to retreat further.

Just as he was about to admonish Nangong Man Sha, the sharp-eared Chu Ge heard the sound of the door opening and immediately fell silent, carefully warning Nangong Man Sha as well.

Nangong Man Sha knew that they couldn’t reveal themselves at this time, naturally, she didn’t make a sound, but her body kept rubbing against Chu Ge’s side. With Nangong Man Sha’s tall stature, she only needed to tiptoe slightly to reach Chu Ge’s face.

She didn’t do anything to Chu Ge’s face, but instead blew a breath of warm air near his ear, the implication couldn’t be clearer.

In the darkness, Chu Ge’s face darkened, but as he saw the flashlight’s beam moving towards the study and heard the increasingly closer footsteps, presumably Shao Gang approaching, Chu Ge restrained himself from saying anything.

Seeing how she was trying to seduce Chu Ge yet he remained composed, Nangong Man Sha felt both frustrated and pleased—frustrated that Chu Ge was indifferent to her advances, and pleased that despite such temptations, Chu Ge was still able to remain composed. This indicated that Chu Ge was a man who could withstand temptations, someone who could be worthy of her, Nangong Man Sha.

With this thought, the mood of Nangong Man Sha, which had dipped due to her unsuccessful seduction, slightly improved. In her eyes, the only person worthy of Chu Ge in this world was her, Nangong Man Sha. Once this matter was over, she would ask her grandfather for a favor to have Chu Ge marry her. She didn’t believe that Chu Ge would dare to refuse with her grandfather intervening.

As everyone knows, in the Imperial Capital where various forces intermingle, the Nangong Family has always been the leader, both a powerful dragon and a local tyrant. If Chu Ge still wanted to make his way here, how could he afford to offend the Nangong Family? noveldrama

With her thoughts stabilized, Nangong Man Sha watched the swaying light but did not see anyone coming over, which started to irritate her. She thought that once Shao Gang was caught, she would definitely teach him a lesson.

With Shao Gang not approaching yet, the heart of Nangong Man Sha, which had just calmed down, began to grow restless again.

Her eyes shifted, and it seemed like she accidentally twisted her foot. Her body immediately leaned towards Chu Ge. Chu Ge frowned, initially not wanting to catch Nangong Man Sha, but also worried that it might disturb Shao Gang outside, reluctantly, he had no choice but to stretch out his hand and catch Nangong Man Sha’s body.
