Chapter 179: Chapter 0179 Ouyang Yunbao

Mu Bingtong saw that Chu Ge was treating her words as if they were nothing but wind past his ears, so she stopped talking altogether and merely muttered under her breath: "Hmph, who cares about your life or death!"

Although she muttered this very quietly, Chu Ge’s superior hearing was dozens of times more sensitive than an average person’s, and he caught every word without missing a beat. However, he did not expose her; with a slight smile, he simply continued to drive his car.

Dinner was still prepared by Chu Ge, and as he would occasionally add a drop of Spiritual Liquid to the food, Mu Bingtong and Shen Yaoyao’s skin looked increasingly radiant, and they both seemed especially spirited.

Shen Yaoyao, the young girl, has always been rather thick-skinned and blunt. Naturally, she was pleased with this development and didn’t bother to ponder the reason why.

However, Mu Bingtong had her suspicions countless times, even going to the hospital for specific exams, where it was found that she was exceedingly healthy. In fact, her physical functions had almost reached the limits achievable by an ordinary person, astonishing the examining doctors.

After dinner, it was time for Chu Ge to gather Spiritual Energy and condense Spiritual Liquid.

But tonight, just as he was about to enter his room and sit down cross-legged, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

The name displayed on the incoming call screen was surprisingly: Ouyang Yunbao!

"Hmm?" Chu Ge narrowed his eyes and murmured: "Mr. Ouyang personally making a call, there must be something happening again."

The moment he pressed the answer button, Mr. Ouyang’s hearty laughter came from the other end: "Haha, the old man is calling so late, I hope I didn’t disturb Mr. Chu’s rest, did I?"

"Where would you get that idea, old master," Chu Ge chuckled: "You wouldn’t have personally made this call just for some pleasantries, I assume?"

Chu Ge getting straight to the point caused Mr. Ouyang on the other end to fall silent for a second or two, rendering his prepared speech useless.

Though the old master had served in the military and actually felt much more at ease with this direct way of speaking, without beating around the bush, he stated: "During this period, I mobilised the Ouyang Family’s forces in City A to start investigating, and we’ve found something."

"Oh?" Chu Ge opened the door to check; both Mu Bingtong and Shen Yaoyao had already gone upstairs to sleep. After closing the door again and retreating back to the bedside, he spoke softly: "Please go on."

"The Ghost Poison Sect has indeed sent someone to City A, and moreover, it’s been said they’ve dispatched a Supreme Elder, suspected to be an Innate Grandmaster!"

Chu Ge raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing Mr. Ouyang’s words.

Indeed, as one of the old Four Great Families in City A, their intelligence network was far beyond that of Zheng Lihong who ran a martial arts school. In just a few days, they had managed to unearth such secretive information.

"Innate Realm, huh?" Chu Ge murmured.

"Yes." The voice of the old master from the phone also carried a weighty tone: "And, the Ghost Poison Sect has close dealings with the Duan Family. Although the people who came to City A aren’t staying with the Duan Family, they are frequently seen together."

This information did not surprise Chu Ge at all.

The Ghost Face he had previously killed was closely connected with Mr. Duan of the Duan Family. Now that it was confirmed that the Ghost Poison Sect was linked with the Duan Family, it seemed like a logical development.

"I understand now, thank you for sharing this intelligence, Mr. Ouyang," Chu Ge said towards the phone.

Now knowing that the Ghost Poison Sect had sent an Innate Grandmaster, Chu Ge was not the least bit worried. On the contrary, a sense of eagerness surged in his heart—was his current strength capable of battling an Innate from the Ghost Poison Sect?

"There’s one more thing." Just then, Mr. Ouyang suddenly added over the phone: "The Duan Family has notified the Four Great Families today that there’ll be a meeting on a cruise ship on the Public Sea the day after tomorrow, to re-allocate the power structure within City A!"

"Eh?" Chu Ge was startled.

This was absolutely groundbreaking news. If it were to spread, it wouldn’t just shake up City A, but probably the entire upper echelons of Xia Country, causing an earthquake-level event.

"Really now." Chu Ge tapped his fingers lightly on the bed rail, speaking softly: "The power dynamics in City A should indeed be reshuffled!"

"So, I was wondering if Mr. Chu might have time tomorrow to come over to the Ouyang Family’s estate for a detailed discussion? Also, to introduce you to some people."

Mr. Ouyang waited in silence after finishing his sentence with a tone that sounded almost tentative.

Chu Ge pondered for a few seconds and nodded: "Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Ge glanced at the moon hanging high in the sky and suddenly revealed a sly smile: "Haha, this is a good opportunity, to make you all completely behave!"

The night was uneventful.

The next day, Chu Ge, as usual, got up early. During breakfast with the three of them, he mentioned that he needed to take a trip out of town to handle some matters. If it was quick, he’d be back in three to five days, or it might take about a week.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaoyao immediately began to fuss: "Wow, brother-in-law, you must be planning to have fun behind my sister’s back, no way, you have to take me with you!"

"Yaoyao!" Mu Bingtong’s face flushed red as she reprimanded: "How many times have I told you, there’s nothing between us, don’t you also know that from the contract?"

"Oh!" Shen Yaoyao stuck out her tongue, making a "I can only help you so much" face at Chu Ge.

Confronted with Shen Yaoyao’s mischievous behavior, Chu Ge was caught between laughter and exasperation and glanced at her disapprovingly.

"Is it urgent?" Mu Bingtong was silent for a good few dozen seconds before she finally asked.

"Kind of." Chu Ge nodded: "The situation is rather special, it’s not convenient to bring anyone, I’ll just go alone."

Chu Ge did not plan to tell her about this matter because it involved too much; sometimes, keeping secrets is a way of protection in disguise.

"Alright." Mu Bingtong nodded, not probing further, simply advising softly: "Then be careful. If things really don’t work out, come back. I still have some connections in City A; perhaps I could help you with something."

Mu Bingtong was a smart woman, knowing what she could ask about and what she shouldn’t.

"Mhm." Chu Ge nodded, a hint of touching appreciation rising in his heart as he looked at Mu Bingtong and said: "Don’t worry."

After breakfast, Mu Bingtong went to the company in her own car, while Shen Yaoyao’s curiosity caused her to linger until she was nearly late and then left the villa reluctantly.

Chu Ge stood at the doorstep, waiting for about half an hour when a red Ferrari pulled up in front of him.

Ouyang Die, clad in a black dress, stepped out of the car. Upon seeing Chu Ge, her beautiful eyes seemed to brighten, and with a smile, she said: "I’m so sorry for letting Mr. Chu wait!"

"It’s nothing, I just came out too," Chu Ge smiled: "But you, you’ve become even more beautiful!"
