<h4>Chapter 697: Chapter 0699 Very Tricky</h4>


    Nangong Man Sha red sharply at them, having forgotten at this moment that she was the junior and they were the elders.


    Simrly, Zheng Yan was also intimidated by Nangong Man Sha’s aura. She averted her eyes briefly, guiltily saying, "Man Sha, those aren’t words to be thrown around lightly; they can kill people."


    Nangong Man Sha snorted coldly, "If you’re not guilty, what are you afraid of? Then, step aside quickly!"


    Zheng Yan fell silent, ncing sideways at Nangong Sanli, cing herst hope on him.


    After all, Nangong Sanli was still Man Sha’s elder; she should at least call him Third Grandpa, showing the basic respect and reverence.


    Indeed, Nangong Sanli stared coldly at Nangong Man Sha, questioning her tone, "Man Sha, as a junior of the Nangong Family, is this the only manner you’ve learned? How do you speak to your elders? You’re known as the number one beauty of the Capital City, but you don’t even have the decency to respect the elderly?"


    Nangong Man Sha pursed her lips, indeed what he said was true; she might confront Zheng Yan but she definitely couldn’t disrespect Nangong Sanli.


    Nangong Man Sha slightly bowed her head, apologetically saying, "Third Grandpa, Man Sha didn’t mean to offend, I’ve witnessed Mr. Chu’s medical skills myself, and I believe he is capable of healing grandfather."


    "Do you still believe in that swindler now? If he was really capable, would your grandfather be lying inside right now?"


    Nangong Sanli, seeing Nangong Man Sha soften her tone a bit, couldn’t help speaking again, "At this moment, your grandfather’s life is hanging by a thread, I absolutely won’t allow anyone to touch him further; who knows if they have ulterior motives? Man Sha, I understand your feelings, but your grandfather’s life is truly more precious than gold; I absolutely can’t stand by and watch him suffer any mishap."


    Nangong Sanli repeatedly imed to have Nangong Yinghao’s best interests at heart, but Nangong Man Sha still insisted.


    Because, in her view, if even Chu Ge couldn’t do it, then truly no one else could.


    Grandfather’s illness, Chu Ge could definitely cure; if even Chu Ge shakes his head, then there would be no one else in this world who could save him.


    This was Nangong Man Sha’s fixation on Chu Ge, and also her trust in him.


    Chu Ge had been quietly standing aside all this while, aware of Zheng Yan’s displeasure towards him from the start, yet not wanting the Old Master to die so soon either, reflecting the contradiction in Zheng Yan’s heart.


    However, Nangong Sanli’s obstruction indeed made Chu Ge more certain of his ulterior motives.


    Chu Ge nced at him quietly, his lips curling into a meaningful arch, "Third Old Master Nangong seems quite concerned about Old Master Nangong; it’s apparent, the brotherly affection between you is strong."


    Chu Ge said this offhandedly, merely intending superficial courtesy, but only their internal family members knew the actualplexity of the rtionship between Nangong Sanli and Nangong Yinghao.


    Nangong Man Sha’s suspicious gaze fell on Nangong Sanli; she too realized, every time grandfather faced a life-threatening situation, Nangong Sanli would show up immediately, whereas her Second Grandpa would onlye to inquire after grandfather had survived the danger, and their underlying emotions also varied.


    Nangong Man Sha didn’t understand why Chu Ge would suddenly say this, but a woman’s sharp sixth sense made her feel that it wasn’t so simple.


    Chu Ge watched Nangong Sanli coldly, his gaze sharp and piercing, seeming to see right through Nangong Sanli’s heart.


    Nangong Sanli was also startled by his piercing gaze; realizing he was being intimidated by a young man in his twenties, Chu Ge had already changed his clothes and entered the operating room.


    Nangong Sanli watched Chu Ge’s leaving figure, a feeling of unexpressed resentment brewing inside him. His gaze darkened as he silently noted this debt in his heart.


    He knew he couldn’t say much more. Any more words, and those suspecting him wouldn’t just be Chu Ge, but also Nangong Man Sha and others.


    When Chu Ge, apanied by Man Sha, entered the operating room changing into his clothes, the doctors were still discussing something, uncertain.


    Upon seeing this, some doctors wanted to step forward to stop them, but someone in the crowd said, "Let them in."


    The person who spoke was the hospital’s Director, Dr. Su. He narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Chu Ge. Last time, when Chu Ge treated Old Master Nangong, he was also present. Initially, his grandfather was skeptical, but the unexpected oueter forced him to acknowledge that there were things in this world unexined by science and beyond its reach.


    Others expressed confusion about Dr. Su’s decision, but ultimately it was Dr. Su who had the final say here, especially since Chu Ge was apanied by Man Sha from the Nangong Family.


    Since members of the Nangong Family had no objections, they also refrained from saying more.


    Still, there was someone in the crowd who appeared very disdainful towards Chu Ge.


    "Dr. Su, do you really trust this quack?"


    That person muttered quietly after Chu Ge had entered.


    Dr. Su nced around, relieved that Man Sha did not hear, he then admonished with a reproachful look, "Xiao Wang, in the future, do not question such matters in front of the Nangong Family, understand?"


    Offending the Nangong Family could ruin one’s prospects in Beijing.


    Xiao Wang, unconvinced, replied, "Dr. Su, just look at Shao Gang before. He was also a quack. Not only did Old Master’s condition not improve, but he also had several critical incidents and even ended up in the ICU. Eventually, it turned out this person harbored ill intentions towards the Nangong Family. These quacks are all swindlers, in my opinion."


    "Hmm, Dr. Su, I think Xiao Wang has a point. Are we really going to stand by and watch this quack treat Old Master Nangong?"


    "If this quack actually cures Old Master’s illness, then our hospital’s reputation would bepletely ruined. People will say our hospital is worse than a quack."


    Others also harbored reservations but dared not speak out. Now that someone voiced their inner thoughts, they felt relieved.


    Dr. Su sighed lightly, "But Mr. Chu truly cured Old Master’s conditionst time."


    "If it was cured, why has it rpsed?"


    One of them spoke up.


    "Are you confused? How is it a rpse this time? Old Master has been framed again."


    Someone in the crowd remarked, which promptly silenced the others.


    As he said, this time, Old Master’s condition was indeed strange and differed from the previous one.


    This was the reason they found it particrly thorny.
