Chapter 309: Chapter 0309: Superior Medicinal Materials

The words of Nangong Yunhai were tinged with fear, and everyone present could hear it.

Shen Congwen and Shen Conghai exchanged puzzled looks, then both set their eyes on Nangong Yunhai, "Young Master Nangong?"

The brothers were both guessing, who exactly was Chu Ge? To have frightened Nangong Yunhai to this extent!

At this moment, Nangong Yunhai was too preoccupied to pay attention to the Shen Family brothers, hurriedly walking into the room, he respectfully said to Mr. Chu, "When did Mr. Chu arrive in Su City? My sister clearly said..."

He stopped mid-sentence, coughed lightly, and gave an awkward smile.

Initially, Nangong Man Sha had told him, they should not let Chu Ge know that they were investigating his whereabouts.

Chu Ge lightly scoffed, "Young Master Nangong is quite familiar with my movements?"

The tone was rising, yet it carried a hint of danger.

"No, no, no, I just..." Nangong Yunhai looked into his cold eyes, knowing that no matter what he fabricated, he would not believe him, "Mr. Chu, it was my sister who sent me to Su City, with the purpose to help Mr. Chu find herbal medicines."

"Oh?" Chu Ge smirked, he had already warned Nangong Man Sha on the cruise ship not to investigate his whereabouts, but it seemed she not only didn’t listen, she even doubled her efforts.

Not only did they investigate his whereabouts, but they also looked into his needs? They even knew he came to Su City for herbal medicines!

Realizing his mistake, Nangong Yunhai quickly tried to explain, "Mr. Chu misunderstood, this was not discovered through my sister’s investigations, but rather... someone deliberately sold your information to us."

Sold information?

In Chu Ge’s mind, flashed the image of a person named ’Lin Dong’ he encountered on the cruise, a second-hand dealer trading in information.

The three people including Tang Xin by the side, were already stunned silent.

What in the world is happening?

Who is Nangong Yunhai? He’s the tyrant of Beijing, and he’s groveling to this Mr. Chu? His cowardly demeanor doesn’t look anything like the Nangong Yunhai they knew!

Tang Xin cast an odd look at Chu Ge, feeling increasingly that this man was shrouded in mystery.

Nangong Yunhai dared not say more, fearful that saying more could lead to more mistakes, so he found an excuse and said, "Since we’ve met Mr. Chu here in Su City, I shall host a simple meal today. Will Mr. Chu and Lady Tang Xin join?"

This sudden change caught the Shen Family Brothers off guard.

Shen Conghai couldn’t keep his composure and stepped forward puzzled, "Young Master Nangong, what’s going on? Who exactly is this Mr. Chu? Why are you so afraid of him?"

Nangong Yunhai turned and glared at him, "This Mr. Chu is a distinguished guest of the Nangong Family!"

With that statement, Chu Ge’s extraordinary status was affirmed.

At this moment, Shen Congwen and Shen Conghai couldn’t afford to bother Lady Tang Xin anymore, they had offended a distinguished guest of the Nangong Family, their own safety was now at risk.

Shen Congwen, having a slightly better composure than Shen Conghai, immediately reacted to Nangong Yunhai’s words, his body instantly responded, "That Mr. Chu, I was blind to your stature earlier, my deepest apologies, no offense intended."

He chuckled awkwardly and thought of extending his hand to shake hands with Chu Ge, but his hand hung in mid-air for a long while without Chu Ge reaching out to shake it.

"Mr. Shen, did you call me a pretty boy?" Chu Ge’s voice rose, tinged with a hint of danger.

A perilous aura enveloped Chu Ge, and a strong oppressive feeling instantly spread within the private room. Shen Congwen’s legs trembled uncontrollably, and although he wanted to smile, his lips were too stiff to curl into even the slightest arc.

Tang Xin also felt this oppressive atmosphere. Such power, she had only seen in the disciples of the Tang Sect.

Even those she had seen before were not one-thousandth of Chu Ge’s.

Who exactly is this Chu Ge?

As Tang Xin wondered, she couldn’t help feeling somewhat relieved; having previously treated Chu Ge as the Tang Family’s honored guest, and now knowing that he was a distinguished guest of the Nangong Family, if they could establish a connection with the Nangong Family through Chu Ge, their Tang Family would surely be able to crush the Shen Family in the future!

"Mr. Chu, I misspoke! My mouth really ran off!" At this point, Shen Congwen could no longer care about his own pride. To avoid losing the support of the Nangong Family, Shen Congwen made a quick decision, slapping himself across the face on the spot.

"Mr. Chu, I failed to recognize the great amidst trivia, I talk too much! I deserve to be punished, please don’t take me to heart. How about this: I will host and invite Mr. Chu and Young Master Nangong for dinner today."

Shen Congwen wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly turned his head to instruct Shen Conghai: "What are you waiting for? Go find the restaurant manager to prepare right now. Have them ready the largest and finest private room."

Shen Conghai nodded blankly and then quickly turned to run out.

Beside them, Tang Xin recovered her senses and scoffed arrogantly, "Shen Congwen, do you still want me stripped naked at the doorway?"

"No, no, no, Lady Tang is jesting. Even given hundred times the courage, I wouldn’t dare,"

Now, Shen Congwen could only grit his teeth and swallow his words. Facing these two revered figures, he had to endure!

But Tang Xin wasn’t prepared to let it go so easily. If not for Chu Ge being someone even Young Master Nangong respected, she might have had to strip naked and stand outside the door by now.

"Shen Congwen, your words are even more eloquent than those spoken in an opera," Tang Xin coldly sneered, "Now, looking at Mr. Chu being a distinguished guest of the Nangong Family, you also want to cling onto his coattails, right? Just now I heard with my own ears, you wanted Mr. Chu to kneel down to Young Master Nangong, am I right, Mr. Chu?"

As Tang Xin spoke, she felt somewhat nervous, uncertain if Chu Ge would stand by her side.

After all, she and Chu Ge had only just met, and even the Tang Family had not formally invited him to their home. Even him being a guest of honor for the Tang Family was a promise made personally by her as a younger member of the Tang family.

It turned out, Tang Xin’s worries were unnecessary.

Chu Ge’s lips curled into a slight provocative smile, he gently said, "The person who can make me, Chu Ge, kneel has yet to appear."

Beside them, Nangong Yunhai felt very innocent. If he had known that the person the Shen Family Brothers offended was Chu Ge, he would have never come forward to support them!

Now it backfired, even if it wasn’t him personally saying that Chu Ge should kneel to him, at the end, he had given the Shen Family Brothers confidence.

Sigh, such misfortune, now not only has he offended Chu Ge, but he also had to face his sister’s punishment when he returned.

Nangong Yunhai glared at Shen Congwen resentfully and sat silently by the side.

Shen Congwen knew at this point that Nangong Yunhai wouldn’t help him anymore, so he had to find a way out by himself.

He remembered the real purpose of Nangong Yunhai’s visit to Su City and finding the Shen Family, so he spoke up, "Mr. Chu, I heard from Young Master Nangong that you need top-quality medicinal herbs...
