<h4>Chapter 693: Chapter 695: The Closest Person</h4>


    Nangong Sanli has always known that Masked Man is a very proud person, and he has never given him any face in front of him.


    However, Nangong Sanli is used to it, as he is not a person who fusses over trifles, having subdued himself under Nangong Yinghao for so many years, his patience has been honed to perfection.


    He is now in need of Masked Man’s help, and will definitely not fall out with him over his unteral actions.


    Nangong Sanli thought to himself and his expression slightly rxed, he said earnestly to the Masked Man, "When we formed our alliance, it was because we both had our own needs. You wanted your Sunflower Sect to have a strong backer in Beijing, and I wanted to gain the inheritance of the Nangong Family. Mutual benefit and a win-win situation have always been our goal. I know you did this for our goal, but you indeed rushed it a bit; we have not fully figured out Chu Ge’s background yet. What if Nangong Yinghao is saved by Chu Ge again?"


    The Masked Man’s face showed a hint of smugness, he chuckled lightly, then shook his head and said to Nangong Sanli, "Don’t worry, this time Chu Ge definitely won’t be able to detoxify easily."


    He was very confident in the poison he had created this time.


    Nangong Sanli looked at him skeptically, still somewhat unconvinced, but he said nothing more on the surface.


    He worried that if he questioned Masked Man’s capabilities again, he really might not be able to restrain himself from falling out with him.


    Now that the summit is imminent, his time is bing more and more pressing.


    "By the way, your apprentice, can he still hold on in prison?" Nangong Sanli asked worriedly.


    Although on the surface Nangong Yinghao seemed very kind-hearted and unlikely to let people in prison torture Shao Gang, behind the scenes it could be another story.


    How many kind-hearted people are there who can hold the position he holds today? It is merely their outward disguise.


    After being brothers with Nangong Yinghao for so many years, he knew his character best - Nangong Yinghao was the most ruthless.


    He was really worried that Shao Gang would not be able to withstand their coercion and would be forced to confess.


    Masked Man pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head. He hadn’t visited Shao Gang in prison for a while, and for him, Shao Gang was now a useless pawn, already discarded.


    "If he has already confessed about you, do you think you would still have a chance to sit here and talk to me?" Masked Man looked at Nangong Sanli as if he was looking at an idiot, he scoffed contemptuously, and then said: "You don’t need to worry about Shao Gang, I have a way to handle it."


    Nangong Sanli looked at him skeptically and asked, "What can you possibly do to handle it?"


    Shao Gang’s imprisonment this time likely means he’ll nevere out again. The only way he wouldn’t confess is one solution.


    But after all, wasn’t Shao Gang Masked Man’s apprentice? Would he be ruthless?


    Nangong Sanli’s suspicious eyes stared at him, only to hear Masked Man say coldly, "There’s only one way to make a person keep a secret forever - ensure they can never speak again."


    And the dead, they never speak.


    Nangong Sanli was stunned, he stared at Masked Man, trying to read something from his expression, but no matter how he looked, Masked Man did not seem to be lying.


    He thought, Nangong Yinghao was ruthless enough, but he didn’t expect that Masked Man would also be so heartless.


    And it makes sense, to achieve their goals, they always have to sacrifice a few people, especially since Shao Gang had be a liability to them, a necessary removal.


    After a brief moment of shock, Nangong Sanli regained hisposure, he smiled and said to Masked Man, "Then I shall leave it to Mr. Yang."


    Just then, Nangong Sanli’s cellphone rang, it was a call from his assistant, Assistant Shang.


    Picking up the phone, Assistant Shang’s urgent voice came through, "Third Old Master, good news, the Old Master has been admitted to the hospital."


    Nangong Sanli was shocked, he looked at Masked Man and then asked, "Is the news reliable?"


    Assistant Shang said on the phone, "The news is reliable, I heard that the Old Master suddenly fell ill and fainted while scolding those Young Master Suns, and I watched him being loaded into the ambnce myself."


    Nangong Sanli’s lips curled up with a triumphant smile, yet inside, he still harbored some doubts, he instructed, "Keep observing and following up, I’ll be there soon."


    "Yes."


    After hanging up the phone, Nangong Sanli looked at Masked Man and said, "Do you know what news I just received?"


    Masked Man, as if he had already anticipated the oue, said, "The news about Old Master Nangong’s hospitalization."


    "You already knew?" Nangong Sanli was astonished.


    Masked Man chuckled lightly, quite proud, and said, "The toxin I designed this time has an added ingredient to the original form; even if Chu Ge has heavenly medical skills, he wouldn’t be able to detoxify it quickly. But since the toxicity is very strong and the onset is rapid, Chu Ge definitely won’t have time to save the Old Master."


    Nangong Sanli, watching Masked Man’s very confident demeanor, felt his doubts slightly alleviated, "No, I need to go to the hospital to see."


    Meanwhile, inside the hospital, Old Master Nangong’s sudden illness had caused quite a stir in the whole of Beijing.


    This was also the effect Chu Ge wanted.


    Because the louder the noise, the more believable it bes, and the backstage culprit would be more convinced.


    In the hospital, the entire floor had been taken over by the Nangong Family, ready for anything.


    In the hallway, the personnel of the Nangong Family anxiously waited, while Chu Ge stood calmly in the corner, seemingly unaffected by the tense atmosphere.


    This demeanor of his increasingly irritated those from the Nangong Family who disliked him.


    Zheng Yan red at Chu Ge resentfully and said in a sarcastic tone, "I really thought someone here was omnipotent, but it turns out he’s just a fraud."


    Nangong Man Sha nced at Zheng Yan, she remained silent because she knew that with Chu Ge’s medical skills, he would never let her grandfather be in danger.


    But she always felt that Chu Ge was hiding something from her.


    She turned back to look at Chu Ge, who was leaning against the wall, supporting himself with one foot, while his other foot’s toe gently tapped the ground. The outside sunlight streamed through the window, casting a hazy halo over him.


    Nangong Man Sha walked up quietly and watched Chu Ge.


    Chu Ge sensed someone approaching, saw only her shoes, and recognized who it was.


    So he did not look up, maintaining his posture.


    "Mr. Chu," Nangong Man Sha finally couldn’t help but speak, "I’ve seen your medical skills, you even have the ability to bring people back from the dead, how could you not detox a mere poison?"


    Nangong Man Sha really didn’t want to sound usatory, but she couldn’t help it.


    Her grandfather was the person she was closest to.
