Chapter 603: Chapter 0605: Why Are You...

In fact, she greatly envied the state of mind that Chu Ge possessed, living such an unconstrained life.

Soon after, Nangong Man Sha drove Chu Ge to the hospital. This was the best hospital in Beijing, with both facilities and medical resources being the top in the nation.

Nangong Man Sha led Chu Ge to the intensive care unit, where other patients’ families were also waiting outside the room.

One person saw Nangong Man Sha approaching and immediately came over to greet her, "Sister."

This person was Nangong Man Sha’s brother, Nangong Yun Hai. He walked up to Nangong Man Sha, his eyes landing on Chu Ge and he paused slightly, then gave a respectful smile, "Mr. Chu, you’ve arrived."

Chu Ge nodded in acknowledgement.

Nangong Man Sha asked Nangong Yun Hai, "How is it? Did Grandfather wake up in between?"

Nangong Yun Hai nodded, "He woke up once, ate something, and then went back to sleep."

Nangong Man Sha walked over to a glass window and, pointing to a patient lying near the window, said, "Mr. Chu, this is my grandfather."

Chu Ge stepped forward and saw an old man with white hair lying there, his face deeply wrinkled. Perhaps due to severe illness, his complexion was very poor, even appearing unsightly and sallow.

Chu Ge quietly sent a stream of True Qi through the glass into Old Master Nangong’s body. The True Qi circulated within him for a good while, unobstructed by anything.

On the contrary, it flowed through very smoothly.

This caused a hint of surprise in his heart. He had heard from Lin Dong that the Old Master’s illness was manmade. If it was indeed human interference, the person who acted was either an Ancient Martial Artist or a common person.

But from his current probing, there was no presence of Ancient Martial Arts energy.

Just as Chu Ge was about to withdraw his power, something suddenly crossed his mind.

He didn’t know why he thought of Shao Gang. Although Shao Gang was an Ancient Martial Artist, he specialized in using poison, and this kind of poison could be deployed without infusing True Qi into it.

Moreover, poisons created by Ancient Martial Artists are often much more potent than those made by ordinary people.

While thinking to himself, Chu Ge once again sent a stream of True Qi into Old Master Nangong’s body. This time, he didn’t just probe for energy but also permeated Old Master Nangong’s internal organs and blood.

This time, he discovered something different. He sensed a mysterious substance within Old Master Nangong’s body that was slowly consuming his internal organs. The consumption was so gradual that it wouldn’t cause a strong reaction in a short period; instead, it would make one’s health progressively decline.

Previously, the Spiritual Liquid that Nangong Man Sha had brought per Chu Ge’s request did indeed improve the Old Master’s health. However, to Chu Ge’s surprise, some of the mysterious substances inside were already starting to age, but others were fresh and robustly growing, indicating that they were infused later.

This further confirmed Chu Ge’s suspicion that someone close to Old Master Nangong was continuously controlling his body.

As for their motives, he did not know.

After investigating for a while, Chu Ge withdrew his True Qi.

His expression was somewhat solemn. Nangong Man Sha, observing that Chu Ge had been silent while continuously watching her grandfather, felt her breathing tighten with anxiety. She nervously looked at Chu Ge and asked, "Mr. Chu, how is it? Is there any hope for my grandfather’s health?"

Despite her belief in Chu Ge’s abilities, having witnessed them more than once, she couldn’t help but voice her concern.

Chu Ge didn’t seem impressed and merely nodded briefly, "There might be a cure, it’s just..."

Before Chu Ge could finish, he was abruptly interrupted.

"Well, well! Man Sha, I heard you brought a famous doctor to treat the old master. Is that so?"

Chu Ge turned around to see a middle-aged man clad in a dark blue suit, approaching with a smile on his face, followed by a certain Shao Gang.

Chu Ge slightly squinted his eyes as he observed them; the two walked up to Nangong Man Sha and the speaker’s gaze sized up Chu Ge, "This is the famous doctor you’ve invited?"

Nangong Man Sha softly called out, "Uncle, this is my esteemed guest, Chu Ge."

Nangong Xiang let out a snort with a tone full of mockery, "Since when did the threshold of the Nangong Family fall so low that just anyone could become our esteemed guest!"

Nangong Man Sha lifted her gaze towards Nangong Xiang, full of dissatisfaction with his attitude, but due to matters of status, she refrained from speaking out.

However, Nangong Yun Hai, who was more straightforward, couldn’t stand seeing his sister being bullied by Nangong Xiang, and interjected on behalf of Nangong Man Sha, "Uncle, Mr. Chu is truly skilled. He even extended my sister’s life. He is her lifesaver."

Nangong Xiang’s face showed a hint of displeasure towards Nangong Yun Hai suddenly speaking up for them, but he was even more shocked by the words he said.

Chu Ge was Nangong Man Sha’s lifesaver?

Nangong Man Sha had lifeless veins, and all the doctors had said she wouldn’t live past twenty-five. Yet now, her life was extended by the man before him?

This was indeed shocking to him and also instilled a sense of crisis.

Even though Nangong Man Sha was a daughter and didn’t have much inheritance in the Nangong Family’s assets, her current status was not to be underestimated.

Especially since her mother was the eldest daughter of the Huangpu Family, who most doted on this granddaughter and grandson.

In just a few seconds, a myriad of thoughts flashed through Nangong Xiang’s mind, but in the end, he only concluded one thing – he must obstruct Chu Ge from treating Nangong Man Sha!

Chu Ge calmly observed Nangong Xiang, whose face bore a fierce look—clearly not a good person at a glance.

His eyes revealed too much greed; he was obviously a man insatiable for wealth.

Beside him, Shao Gang had now returned to his usual demeanor, smiling at Chu Ge, as if saying trying to compete with him for the honored guest seat was a mere pipe dream!

"Miss Man Sha, I’ve come to treat the old master. What do you think..." Shao Gang spoke with a simpering smile.

Nangong Man Sha glanced at the time; Shao Gang always came to treat the old master at this time every day. Today, she didn’t react promptly and instead, she turned her attention to Chu Ge, as if asking for his opinion.

Chu Ge looked at her unexpectedly and, somewhat speechlessly, nodded.

Only then did Nangong Man Sha turn around to speak with the responsible party, allowing Shao Gang to go in to treat the old master.

All of Nangong Man Sha’s demeanor had been noticed by both Shao Gang and Nangong Xiang, each harboring their own thoughts, unclear of what they were contemplating.

Nangong Man Sha returned to Chu Ge’s side, looking at him puzzledly, and asked, "Mr. Chu, why did you..."
