Chapter 567: Chapter 0569: Hold Him Back

"Oh? Let’s hear it." Shao Gang set down his tea and sat upright, his gaze piercing as he watched him.

Ge Fan always felt Shao Gang’s eyes were too sharp. Since he was an esteemed guest of the Ge Family, Ge Fan never dared to act rashly. He sighed slightly, giving a wry smile, "Previously in Su City, we wanted to bid on an Ancient Martial Secret Manual, but in the end, it was snatched up by Chu Ge. Not only did he snatch it, but he also falsely claimed that I interfered, resulting in my expulsion by the auction organizers."

Ge Fan exaggerated the story, ultimately painting Chu Ge as someone who creates trouble out of nothing, deliberately framing him.

He knew that Shao Gang was somewhat capable and might consider the good relationship with the Ge Family and help him teach Chu Ge a lesson.

However, Ge Fan was in for a disappointment.

Shao Gang would definitely not engage in a direct conflict with Chu Ge over such trivial personal matters.

After talking with him for a long time, noticing his lackluster interest, Ge Fan slowly closed his mouth. He smiled and then asked Shao Gang, "Uncle Shao, you haven’t mentioned yet what business brings you to me."

Shao Gang nodded, "I’m here for something related to Chu Ge as well. I need you to prevent Chu Ge from entering Beijing."

Prevent Chu Ge from entering Beijing?

Ge Fan was startled, "Chu Ge is going to Beijing? What for?"

Ge Fan might have felt guilty, subconsciously thinking Chu Ge was coming to settle scores with him. But then he thought again, if that were the case, why didn’t he confront him directly just now?

Ge Fan looked suspiciously at Shao Gang, puzzled, "What is he going to do in Beijing?"

Shao Gang snorted lightly, saying, "I heard that Nangong Man Sha has brought Chu Ge to treat Old Master Nangong’s illness."

"What?" Ge Fan was shocked.

Nangong Man Sha actually sought Chu Ge to treat Old Master Nangong?

This...

Ge Fan stared incredulously at Shao Gang. The Ge Family attributed half of their rapid rise today to his father inviting Shao Gang from the world of martial arts to treat Old Master Nangong’s sickness, which had propelled the Ge Family to their current height.

Now, Nangong Man Sha was seeking Chu Ge for Old Master Nangong’s treatment. Could it be that Shao Gang had also failed to cure Old Master Nangong?

Ge Fan guessed inwardly.

Unaware of Ge Fan’s thoughts, Shao Gang continued, "To ensure my position within the Nangong Family, you must prevent Chu Ge from entering Beijing, no matter what it takes."

Ge Fan was troubled; he was helpless even when Chu Ge was without martial arts, let alone now that Chu Ge had regained his martial arts abilities. He was no match for Chu Ge.

"Uncle Shao, how could you entrust such an important matter to me? If I mess it up, I really can’t escape the consequences."

Ge Fan was well aware of his father, if he failed to complete the task as Shao Gang wished, the punishment he faced would not be light.

Ge Fan was truly frightened.

Seeing Ge Fan suddenly lose his nerve, Shao Gang coldly sneered with disdain, "I heard that your family has started a company in Shanghai, and this company is continuously suppressing Chu Ge’s woman."

Upon hearing this, Ge Fan suddenly looked at Shao Gang in astonishment. It was public knowledge that they had established a company in Shanghai, so it wasn’t surprising that Shao Gang knew, but how did he know they were suppressing Jinxiu Group?

According to Ge Fan’s investigation, the female president of Jinxiu Group was a rare beauty, and this beauty was often seen with Chu Ge.

He had thoroughly investigated everything about Chu Ge in Shanghai before he even arrived.

Including how he had step by step acquired other companies and merged them into Jinxiu Group.

Ge Fan thought that since he couldn’t do anything to Chu Ge, surely his woman couldn’t be as formidable as Chu Ge, so he wanted to target Jinxiu Group, aiming to vent his own private desires.

But now, Shao Gang was actually suggesting that he confront Chu Ge directly; as an ordinary person, how could he possibly deal with an Ancient Martial Artist?

"Uncle Shao, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but Chu Ge is an expert in Ancient Martial Arts. When he lost his martial arts in Su City, I couldn’t do anything to him, and now that he has regained his martial arts, I’m really worried that I’m no match for him."

Shao Gang’s gaze was sharply piercing, making Ge Fan feel extremely uneasy.

Ge Fan rubbed his arms; Shao Gang’s stare was giving him goosebumps.

"Uncle Shao, please don’t look at me like that; it’s quite frightening," Ge Fan said with a forced smile.

Shao Gang snorted lightly, "Ge Fan, your Ge Family’s wealth today largely owes to my efforts. If your father hadn’t invited me from the world of martial arts to treat Old Master Nangong, you wouldn’t have today’s wealth. In other words, all of your wealth was created by me."

Ge Fan nodded repeatedly, but in his heart, he couldn’t help but curse Shao Gang.

He was always like this; whenever their Ge Family did not agree to Shao Gang’s terms, Shao Gang would bring up their wealth.

Unfortunately, it’s true that the Ge Family rose up because Shao Gang had treated Old Master Nangong; he was right about that, and they really couldn’t refute it.

"Uncle Shao, you’re right, our Ge Family’s success today indeed owes much to your efforts, but I’m really worried that I’m no match for Chu Ge in stopping him."

Ge Fan wore a pained expression on his face, clearly struggling with the situation.

Shao Gang shook his head gently, "I’m not asking you to confront Chu Ge directly. I’m not underestimating you to elevate Chu Ge, but in a direct conflict, a hundred of you would not match up to Chu Ge. You can’t imagine how capable he truly is."

Shao Gang was also a Martial Artist, an Ancient Martial Artist, but his cultivation was mainly in medicine, and he rarely concerned himself with the fights and killings.

However, now that his interests were involved, he had no choice but to learn more about it.

This inquiry had led him to a thorough understanding of Chu Ge; what intrigued him was that all records of Chu Ge before coming to Shanghai were empty, as if there had never been such a person before.

Additionally, with the recent turmoil in the world of martial arts, where many Sects had joined forces to attack Huayue Sect and Black Witch Sect, he had even heard that Chu Ge possessed a secret manual that many Sects coveted.

This made him truly wary of underestimating Chu Ge’s strength.

"So what do you mean?"

Upon hearing that Shao Gang was not asking him to confront Chu Ge directly, Ge Fan asked confusedly, "Then how should I keep Chu Ge occupied?"

A sudden flash of insight crossed Ge Fan’s mind. He asked somewhat puzzled, "Uncle Shao, even if I can stall Chu Ge temporarily, I can’t do it forever, can I?"
