<h4>Chapter 689: Chapter 0691: A Truly Insightful Mind</h4>


    Old Master Nangong looked at Chu Ge with lingering fear and said to him, "Mr. Chu, it’s fortunate that I discovered this in time, that the scent was different from before, thus avoiding another bitter fate of being poisoned. What if one day he develops some colorless, odorless poison, wouldn’t that mean myplete demise?"


    Old Master Nangong’s face was pale with fright, which was somewhat surprising to Chu Ge.


    For a person of such high status and power, what hadn’t he seen? What hadn’t happened to him? But now, the fear from a dose of poison turned his face white, which was not bing of a ruler.


    Chu Ge quietly observed him, waited for him to finish, and then spoke slowly: "Old Master Nangong just needs to follow the method I’ve described, and I believe you will be fine."


    "You said?" Old Master Nangong was startled for a moment and subconsciously asked, "What method did you say?"


    He didn’t remember Chu Ge teaching him any method.


    Chu Ge took out a Small Jade Bottle from his bosom, handed it to Old Master Nangong, and said: "This is Spiritual Liquid I’ve recently refined. If you take it as I’ve instructed before, one dose daily, no matter what poison is used against you, you’ll be safe."


    Due to being poisoned again, Old Master Nangong was very displeased and harbored anger in his heart. He couldn’t believe those people hated him so much that they tried time and again to take his life.


    He had intended to show them mercy, but they did not give him the chance.


    Old Master Nangong pondered for a moment and then seriously said to Chu Ge: "Mr. Chu, please help me, I must find the culprit who framed me."


    He was no saint. Others have repeatedly tried to take his life, showing no familial affection, so what more affinity should he consider?


    If they showed no kindness, then there should be no me for his ruthlessness.


    Chu Ge gazed deeply at Old Master Nangong and asked, "Are you serious? Even if the person discoveredter isn’t who you suspect, will you be disappointed?"


    "Disappointed?" Old Master Nangong sneered at himself, "I’m already very disappointed. No, not disappointed, I’m heartbroken. I’vepletely lost faith in them, those individuals perpetually after my life, what’s left to care about familial affection?"


    Chu Ge could hear the pain in Old Master Nangong’s words; he must be heartbroken to say such things.


    "Mr. Chu, you must help me. As long as you can catch the person who’s after my life, I will agree to any condition and fulfill it," Old Master Nangong implored, his tone slow yet very serious.


    Chu Ge lightly nodded, "Actually, to catch the culprit, it’s not difficult."


    Chu Ge had nned this all along, but he had been worried that Old Master Nangong would have reservations due to family ties and would not take action, so he had only taken defensive measures.


    But now that they had taken the offensive again, it was the perfect opportunity to break down thest barrier in Old Master Nangong’s heart. Chu Ge knew that this time Old Master Nangong had made a firm decision.


    "How so?" Old Master Nangong asked with surprise, "Does Mr. Chu already have a good n?"


    To date, they still didn’t know who was behind all this, and after the incident involving Shao Gang, only Shao Gang was implicated, yet he refused to reveal who had instructed him to act thus. But it was learned from him that he was inextricably linked with the man in the mask.


    Chu Ge answered, "There is indeed a feasible method, but it will require Old Master Nangong’s cooperation."


    "No matter the method, as long as Mr. Chu can capture that person, I will cooperate in whatever is required."


    Old Master Nangong dered firmly, this time he couldn’t just sit and wait for doom.


    "Actually, it’s very simple, to use their own strategy against them."


    Chu Ge smiled, weren’t they just after Old Master Nangong’s life? Then they would use their own strategy against them, to see who was really behind this and what their purpose was.


    Old Master Nangong was momentarily stunned, "But this poisoning incident is known to the entire Nangong Family."


    Even now, if we were to counter their ns, wouldn’t we have to wait until they tried to poison me again?


    Chu Ge gestured dismissively, "Actually, it doesn’t need to be soplicated. Moreover, they failed this time, but next time they might use a method we can’t anticipate. What if we can’t prevent it and they truly seed?"


    Chu Ge was right, Old Master Nangong thought about it, and found it to be reasonable. He then fell silent; all the members of the Nangong family were downstairs. Even if he wanted to counter their ns, he needed a usible reason.


    "The usible reason is that the Spiritual Liquid I gave you only dys the effect of the poison and offers no preventative measures."


    Seeing Old Master Nangong’s troubled expression, Chu Ge spoke up.


    Old Master Nangong was a bit surprised to hear this, "Mr. Chu, are you sure this is what we should do?"


    "This is the most logical and the simplest reason, one they will believe."


    "But wouldn’t that ruin your reputation?"


    Old Master Nangong was concerned about this. He knew Chu Ge wanted to establish himself in the Capital City, and sess didn’t just rely on your background and influence but on your true capabilities.


    Chu Ge’s capabilities included his Medical Skill as well as martial arts.


    However, he was aware that Chu Ge seemed to be nning to open a medical clinic. If Chu Ge’s medical reputation were tarnished, wouldn’t the clinic be doomed even before opening?


    Chu Ge chuckled, sensing that Old Master Nangong was worried needlessly.


    "I’m only temporarily ruining my reputation. But is it really ruined? Not at all. We use the enemy’s ns against them just to catch the culprit intent on harming you. Once the culprit is caught, my medical reputation will naturally be restored."


    Old Master Nangong thought about it, and then he also smiled, realizing he had been shortsighted.


    "So, what should I do now?"


    Old Master Nangong inquired.


    Chu Ge thought for a moment and said to Old Master Nangong, "I need someone to assist me."


    "Someone to assist you?"


    "Yes, it must be someone from the Nangong Family. No matter what, I am an outsider; if you pretend to be ill and I dere it, they will surely suspect the authenticity. But others are different, especially members of the Nangong Family. If you show symptoms in front of them, it will be more convincing."


    Chu Ge exined.


    Realization dawned on Old Master Nangong, and he couldn’t help but admire Chu Ge’s shrewdness, "Young people sure are cunning."


    He said in jest.


    Chu Ge alsoughed, not offended by Old Master Nangong’s words, "If one doesn’t have a cunning mind, how can they help Old Master Nangong catch the traitor?"
