Chapter 664: Chapter 0666: Time to Open a Shop
This matter speaks of a private settlement, but in fact, it was questioning whether Nangong Yinghao wanted to use his own methods to punish Shao Gang.
Before Old Master Nangong could speak, Nangong Man Sha preempted, "Exactly, what else? This person dared to sneak into my grandfather’s bookroom, clearly well-prepared. If we don’t properly interrogate someone like him, wouldn’t we be fools?"
However, Old Master Nangong didn’t rush to speak; he fixed his gaze on Chu Ge, always feeling that Chu Ge would have a better suggestion for him.
Indeed, upon hearing Nangong Man Sha’s words, Chu Ge’s expression remained unchanged. He simply smiled and then said to Old Master Nangong, "Old Master, I think it might be better to hand this person over to the police. After all, we live in a society ruled by law, don’t you agree?"
Old Master Nangong raised his eyebrows, not understanding why Chu Ge would suggest this, but he didn’t rush to ask. There was plenty of time to think, and after a brief contemplation, he nodded and said, "Young friend Chu Ge is right; we are indeed in a society governed by the rule of law, and it wouldn’t be right to handle such matters privately."
With that, he gave a slight nod, signaling the bodyguards to take Shao Gang to the police station. The bodyguards obeyed, leaving with Shao Gang, while only Nangong Man Sha looked perplexed.
Yet, neither Chu Ge nor Old Master Nangong had any intention to explain to Nangong Man Sha. The two shared a glance, each smiling a smile that was tinged with a bit of helplessness.
After all, they had only caught Shao Gang, and it was still not clear who the mastermind truly was.
Now, it remained to be seen whether Shao Gang would confess who the mastermind was.
However, for Old Master Nangong, regardless of the identity of the mastermind, disabling Shao Gang meant eliminating one opportunity for the perpetrator to get closer to him.
This brought some peace of mind to his heart, and at the same time, he started to see Chu Ge in a new light.
"Mr. Chu, why don’t you stay for dinner tonight?"
Old Master Nangong extended the invitation to Chu Ge, and this time, he genuinely wished to treat Chu Ge to a meal and properly introduce him to the other members of the Nangong Family.
But Chu Ge shook his head, "I have some other matters to take care of recently, so I’ll have to pass on the meal, perhaps another time."
Old Master Nangong sighed regretfully, "That’s really too bad. I even heard from Man Sha that you play chess quite well; I was hoping to play a few games with you after dinner."
Chu Ge looked at Old Master Nangong with an amused expression, "Playing chess is easy to arrange, and I’m always up for it, just not today. I think the mastermind won’t act rashly for a while, so you should be safe, Old Master. As for any future moves, or perhaps we can find an opportunity to force them into a corner and make them reveal themselves."
Old Master Nangong nodded, "That’s all we can do now, but I must say, I’m embarrassed. In this area, an old man like me is not as insightful as Mr. Chu, I truly am ashamed."
Chu Ge replied, "It’s not about being insightful, but rather that spectators have a clearer view. Furthermore, Old Master Nangong is kindhearted and doesn’t wish to see things too clearly for matters such as these."
Old Master Nangong’s lips showed a bitter smile. If the mastermind really was a member of the Nangong Family, it hurt him just the same no matter who it was. How could he willingly see through them?
The two felt a moment of melancholy before Chu Ge spoke up about leaving.
Knowing that Chu Ge had his affairs to attend to, Old Master Nangong didn’t keep him.
Chu Ge drove the car Nangong Man Sha provided and arrived directly at the front of his shop. The shop was almost fully renovated, with the doors closely shut, waiting only for stocking up.
At this moment, there was a person anxiously waiting at the door. Seeing a black sedan stop in front of him, he was stunned for a moment and then saw Chu Ge step out from the driver’s seat.
"Lin Dong, what’s the urgency?" Chu Ge asked with bewilderment. When he was at the Nangong Family, Chu Ge had received a call from Lin Dong, who sounded very anxious on the phone.
The person was indeed Lin Dong. He looked anxiously at Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, I’ve discovered something about the Masked Man."
Chu Ge looked puzzled at Chu Ge, "Finding information about the Masked Man isn’t cause for such agitation, right?"
Lin Dong shook his head, "No, you will be shocked by this news. I found out he’s a traitor from the Black Witch Sect, and has since defected to the Sunflower Sect, where he is now an influential elder."
Chu Ge looked at Lin Dong in surprise. He had begun to suspect whether the Masked Man was related to the Black Witch Sect.
Now that it was revealed he was a traitor of the Black Witch Sect, it all began to make sense.
Lin Dong was puzzled by Chu Ge’s composed reaction and asked, "Mr. Chu, are you not shocked or worried?"
Chu Ge shook his head, "There’s nothing to worry about." noveldrama
"But that’s the Black Witch Sect," Lin Dong said, looking at Chu Ge in shock. Although he knew Chu Ge was powerful, the influence of the Black Witch Sect in the world of martial arts was not to be taken lightly.
Yet Chu Ge, upon hearing the Masked Man was a Black Witch Sect traitor, displayed total nonchalance, which really surprised Lin Dong.
Chu Ge chuckled, "Nothing to worry about. The current Black Witch Sect isn’t what it once was. The various Sects in the world of martial arts are currently at odds, and the Black Witch Sect has become a target for All Sects. After the recent campaign against them, the Black Witch Sect has been significantly weakened. Now they’re struggling to protect themselves; how would they have the time to trouble us?"
Lin Dong looked at Chu Ge speechlessly, "Mr. Chu, aren’t you confused? The Black Witch Sect might not have the time to bother us, but the Masked Man does, and he has plenty of it. He came from the Black Witch Sect, known for being experts in poisons."
Chu Ge laughed lightly, patted Lin Dong’s shoulder with approval, and said, "Not bad at all, so well informed about Ancient Martial Arts and the affairs between the Sects."
At the mention of this, Lin Dong’s face showed pride. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Chu, don’t forget my nickname - I’m Information Gatherer. There’s nothing I can’t find out about, heh heh heh."
Chu Ge nodded gently, "However, don’t be so reckless next time. It’s not a life-or-death matter. Always be prudent in your actions."
Lin Dong nodded vigorously, "Yes! I will certainly remember that."
Lin Dong maintained his composure for a few seconds before returning to his cheeky demeanor, scratching his head somewhat sheepishly as he asked, "Mr. Chu, there’s another favor I’d like to ask of you, if you’re willing."
"Let’s hear it?" Chu Ge asked.
Lin Dong touched his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed as he pointed to the shop behind him, "Mr. Chu, you are about to open a shop, and you’ll definitely need help... I was thinking..."
