Chapter 592: Chapter 0594: Kneeling Ceremony

Lin Dong cleared his throat and sat there with poise. He continued, "Yes, it is indeed due to Shao Gang’s influence that Ge Group has risen so swiftly. But in a bustling city like Beijing, no matter how fast you rise, it’s very difficult to break into the upper-class society. Therefore, Ge Group thought about expanding to other cities.

I heard that their business in Shanghai is booming."

Lin Dong, as if thinking of something, looked at Chu Ge in surprise. "Mr. Chu, didn’t you come from Shanghai? You should know this, shouldn’t you?"

Chu Ge nodded and then asked, "Has Shao Gang always been treating Old Master Nangong? Do you know how long Old Master Nangong has been sick?"

Chu Ge asked subconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong sighed deeply and said with profound meaning, "Considering our relationship, I might as well tell you more about it."

"..."

"Actually, I don’t much understand the matters of the world of martial arts as they relate to Shao Gang, but I am very clear about the things he has done in Beijing."

Lin Dong clicked his tongue, expressing indignant generosity. "It’s because I am powerless and cannot meet with the Nangong Family. If I could meet them, I would certainly make a good case."

Chu Ge looked at Lin Dong, puzzled. "What, do you have a grudge against Shao Gang?"

"It’s more than a grudge! We’re irreconcilable!" When Lin Dong mentioned Shao Gang’s name, his eyes turned bloodshot.

Chu Ge could tell that Shao Gang must have done something to him.

Since he was idle anyway, Chu Ge listened to Lin Dong’s story.

As it turned out, Lin Dong was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, which he always considered his home. Even after he left, he would visit the orphanage from time to time. However, not long ago, when he returned to the orphanage, he found it had been reduced to ruins.

It turned out that Shao Gang wanted to build his villa there because he found the fengshui of the orphanage land to be very good. When the director refused to sell, he forcibly had the place demolished.

"Those children still don’t have a proper place to sleep, they can’t get enough to eat, and they have to endure the cold at night." As Lin Dong spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

For a moment, Chu Ge didn’t know how to comfort him, just as he was about to pat Lin Dong on the shoulder in consolation.

Lin Dong abruptly lifted his sleeve, fiercely wiped his eyes, and instantly resumed his usual demeanor. Had it not been for his reddened eyes, one might have thought the previous scene was an illusion.

Lin Dong took a deep breath and continued, "We’ve gotten off-topic. Let’s get back to Shao Gang and the Nangong Family. Because Shao Gang had made meritorious deeds in treating the Nangong Family, he was revered and treated as a guest of honor. Later, it seemed that Nangong Man Sha had brought back some Spiritual Medicine from abroad. After taking it for a few days, Old Master Nangong who had been improving suddenly became critically ill. Shao Gang claimed it was due to that Spiritual Liquid, and because of this, Miss Man Sha was ridiculed within the Nangong Family."

Lin Dong mentioned Nangong Man Sha with pity, "Actually, Miss Man Sha meant well, but who would have thought that the Spiritual Medicine would turn out to be fake."

Chu Ge listened and fell silent.

The Spiritual Medicine mentioned by Lin Dong should be the Spiritual Liquid he had refined. However, his Spiritual Liquid would only be helpful to Old Master Nangong and not cause any side effects.

Therefore, when Lin Dong mentioned that Old Master Nangong had entered the intensive care unit because of the Spiritual Liquid, the first thing Chu Ge thought was that someone was playing foul.

Chu Ge also had a realization that the things Lin Dong spoke of were different from what Nangong Man Sha had said.

Nangong Man Sha had never told him that she was ridiculed because of this incident.

No wonder she looked so worn out last time they met.

Chu Ge sighed softly, "This Shao Gang, is he very arrogant in Beijing?"

Lin Dong nodded repeatedly, "Of course he’s arrogant. There are others who want to curry favor with the Nangong Family, brought in many prestigious doctors, but in the end, they were all tripped up by Shao Gang."

Lin Dong suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Actually, Shao Gang is worried that if someone can cure Old Master Nangong’s illness, his own status would be in jeopardy!"

After hearing this, Chu Ge suddenly had some understanding of why Ge Fan had stopped him from entering Beijing.

Perhaps his goal was the same as Shao Gang’s, to prevent other medical experts, including himself, from going to Beijing to treat Old Master Nangong.

Chu Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, but why did the Ge Group start attacking Jinxiu Group the moment they arrived in Shanghai?

This point, Chu Ge could never figure out.

Lin Dong continued speaking, but Chu Ge no longer felt like listening, because these pieces of news were all useless to him.

But given the long journey and the boredom along the way, Chu Ge did not show any displeasure.

After a while, as Lin Dong was getting into his story, a beautiful figure suddenly darted over and sat down beside Lin Dong with a great swing of her arms, "How about you? How much did you sell? I sold twenty cards, and with that money, we should be able to rent a fairly large place for the children to sleep and rest."

The newcomer was Liu Yue, who had grown up with Lin Dong in the orphanage and later left to work and earn money in society.

Chu Ge looked at the cards in her hand; such cards, he had just heard the price from Lin Dong, one hundred and fifty each.

Twenty cards, that’s three thousand yuan. Three thousand yuan to rent a fairly large place in Beijing?

Although Chu Ge didn’t have much concept of property prices in Beijing, he knew that three thousand yuan would definitely not rent any good place.

Upon hearing that Liu Yue had sold twenty cards, Lin Dong immediately slapped his thigh, "I only sold twelve!"

It was then that Liu Yue noticed Chu Ge’s presence, and she nudged Lin Dong in surprise, curiously asking, "Lin Dong, doesn’t the person across from you look like someone?"

Lin Dong was puzzled, "Like who?"

"Like the master we met at the Public Sea Banquet last time."

Liu Yue whispered.

Although her voice was low, Chu Ge still heard it.

Lin Dong laughed out loud and pointed to Chu Ge, "This is Mr. Chu."

Liu Yue’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at Chu Ge, "Really? My heavens."

Liu Yue hurriedly got up, went into the aisle, and was about to kneel to Chu Ge, who quickly stopped her.

Chu Ge, puzzled, asked, "Big sister, what are you doing?"

Liu Yue said somewhat excitedly, "At the last Public Sea Banquet, thanks to Mr. Chu’s rescue, I was able to come to my senses. You are my benefactor, my life-saving benefactor, I should kneel in gratitude."

As she spoke, Liu Yue tried to kneel again, and Chu Ge stopped her once more.

"It’s good that you’re okay. As for gratitude, this act of kneeling is too much, please sit down."
