Chapter 626: Chapter 0628: Acting Together

Chu Ge knew she was acting odd again, and with an awkward cough, said, "I could treat Miss Man Sha to a meal."

A statement that nearly made the two in front laugh out loud.

Shen Congwen and Nangong Yunhai exchanged glances, understanding the other’s thoughts from their eye contact.

Does Mr. Chu really not understand Miss Man Sha’s feelings? Her actions have been so obvious.

Back in Su City, Miss Man Sha’s behavior had sparked some curiosity in Shen Congwen, who speculated about their relationship. However, Mr. Chu always maintained a distance from Miss Man Sha, leaving Shen feeling somewhat puzzled about their relationship.

But there were more important matters at hand then, so he didn’t dwell on it.

Nangong Yunhai, however, seemed accustomed to his sister’s behavior, showing little expression, but knowing her affection for Chu Ge, he found Chu Ge’s obliviousness somewhat amusing.

Man Sha’s lips twitched; she really couldn’t tell if Chu Ge was playing dumb or deliberately avoiding her. She sighed softly in her heart, yet her face remained calm as she continued, "Mr. Chu, you better keep your word; this meal won’t be a light affair."

With that said, the matter seemed to be settled for the moment.

After sending Chu Ge and Shen Congwen to the villa, Man Sha made a call from the car to inquire about the Crystal Jade for the auction.

Chu Ge and Shen Congwen returned to the villa, where Shen Congwen started creating Fake Earth Ganoderma with the materials Nangong Yunhai had brought.

Meanwhile, Chu Ge took the Crystal Jade back to his room.

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, with the Crystal Jade before him, Chu Ge held his breath and focused, gently reaching out towards the Crystal Jade.

It was as if the mysterious force inside the Crystal jade sensed Chu Ge’s presence and began resonating with him. To Chu Ge’s surprise, under the cover of night, the Crystal Jade emitted a faint green glow. A warm current continuously wafted from the Crystal Jade, moving back and forth in the air, gradually enveloping Chu Ge, and eventually merging into his body.

This mysterious force did not cause any adverse reactions in Chu Ge’s body. On the contrary, it quickly integrated with the True Qi in his body. He distinctly felt a warm current stirring in his Dantian, and his body underwent minor changes; he felt as if all his tiredness had been dissolved.

The initial drowsiness disappeared, and he even began to feel somewhat excited.

After everything ended, the mysterious force completely merged into his body. Chu Ge slowly opened his eyes to find that the Crystal Jade had lost its original luster, looking like a spent jade.

Chu Ge got out of bed, picked up the Crystal Jade, placed it on the table, and then went back to bed to sleep.

...

Beijing is indeed Beijing; its prosperity is incomparable to ordinary small cities. Even within the confines of a hospital, one can sense something extraordinary, perhaps because this floor is reserved solely for the Nangong Family.

In the hallway, there’s a bodyguard every five steps; in a stretch of just over ten meters, there are no fewer than ten security personnel. Yet, despite this, the corridor remains eerily quiet—the sound of their footsteps hardly perceptible unless one listens very carefully.

This was the scene Shen Congwen encountered as he emerged from the elevator. He had seen such stringent security at the Su Family when the Old Master was ill in the hospital. Still, the display of the Nangong Family caused him to inwardly exclaim: This is the Nangong family, this is Beijing!

"Who goes there?" A bodyguard in the hallway stopped Shen Congwen. Even after Shen presented his token, they proceeded to search him. Though uncomfortable, Shen understood their precautions—after all, he was on their territory, where the protected individual was Old Master Nangong, the lifeblood of the Nangong family.

"What is this?" A bodyguard inspecting Shen Congwen’s belongings opened a box he carried, furrowing his brow in confusion at the contents—apparently a type of plant he had never seen before.

A flicker crossed Shen Congwen’s eyes—not because he feared a mere bodyguard would discern anything, but to minimize complications was indeed preferable.

"Shen, you’re here." Just then, the door to the hospital room opened, and Chu Ge stepped out. He immediately noticed the object that the bodyguard was holding in his hand.

"This was delivered on my request by Young Master Shen. Is there an issue?" Chu Ge, hands in his pockets and a mischievous smile on his face, approached the bodyguard.

The bodyguard, swallowing nervously and knowing Chu Ge’s significant place in Old Master Nangong’s heart—someone a mere bodyguard should never offend—smiled and handed the box back to Chu Ge, "No problem at all."

With a snort, Chu Ge took the box, gave Shen an understanding gaze, and led the way into the room. Relieved, Shen quickly followed him.

Inside the room, the moment Chu Ge entered, all eyes turned unanimously towards him. Among them, Shao Gang’s gaze was the sharpest.

They had heard that Chu Ge had cured the Old Master’s illness, and had come early that morning to see if it was indeed true.

However, they found the Old Master not as rejuvenated as rumors suggested, but rather frail—a clear sign that there had been no improvement, rendering the circulating rumors grossly exaggerated.

As soon as Shao Gang entered, he heard about the precious medicine Chu Ge had someone bring. Old Master even praised Chu Ge, claiming he planned to reward him. Heh, it was supposed to be his moment, now stolen by Chu Ge; Shao Gang felt frustrated inside.

"Mr. Chu, is it the medicine you asked to be delivered?" Shao Gang asked with a smile, appearing genuinely concerned about Chu Ge.

Chu Ge chuckled, knowing well that Shao Gang’s concern was merely for the prospects of seeing him embarrassed.

"Yes, it’s been delivered. First-level Earth Ganoderma!" Chu Ge lifted the box he held, opened it, and showcased its contents to everyone.

Some among the audience, recognizing its value, confirmed it was indeed First-level Earth Ganoderma beyond a doubt. But could this truly cure Old Master Nangong’s illness? Considering Shao Gang was Old Master’s chief physician, having cared dedicatedly for so long with only minimal improvement, full recovery seemed improbable.

Old Master Nangong on the bed coughed softly, casually glancing at Chu Ge. They had previously agreed that Old Master would play along, pretending to remain weak and ill.
