<strong>Chapter 732: Chapter 0734: How Is That Possible</strong>
Mr. Nangong recognized Qian Youquan, but at first, when he arrived, he didn’t pay much attention to Qian Youquan’s presence.
Now, hearing his exnation, Mr. Nangong’s face darkened, “Qian Youquan, you are also a businessman. Don’t you know that seeing blood on the opening day is inauspicious?”
Upon hearing this, Qian Youquan immediately panicked, “Oh my, I… I didn’t mean to do it! How could I have forgotten this! Mr. Chu, I’m so sorry, I really didn’t do it on purpose, you know the situation at that time, I was just so confused and angry that I did it, I’m really sorry, what should I do now?”
Qian Youquan kept feeling remorse and ming himself, indeed more prone to messing things up while trying to help.
Chu Ge, however, did not see it as anything significant; he raised his hand and waved it, reassuringly saying, “It’s alright, don’t worry about it.”
Seeing that Chu Ge didn’t mind, Mr. Nangong, an outsider, also had nothing to say, but Qian Youquan’s heart couldn’t calm down.
He had intended to take the opportunity to butter up Mr. Nangong, but now it seemed that keeping silent was the wisest choice.
Mr. Nangong brought a modest gift for Chu Ge, a blessed statue of the God of Wealth. He said with a smile, “I knew you’d be missing something like this for your opening, although you young people don’t care about these traditions anymore. However, this God of Wealth should still be enshrined.”
There was also a front desk in the Gambling Stone Field, for conveniently providing drinks and tea for everyone. The Old Master had someone ce the God of Wealth on the front desk, and what surprised Chu Ge was that the Old Master had even brought incense.
The Old Master lit the incense and Chu Ge stood beside him, offering a bow to the God of Wealth before considering the matter concluded.
“Old Master, thank you very much for your generous gift,” Chu Ge sincerely said.
Mr. Nangongughed heartily, waved his hand, and said to Chu Ge, “No need to thank me for such a small gift, but there is something I would like to ask of Mr. Chu.”
As the Old Master spoke, he nced at Qian Youquan, who at once took the hint and quickly said, “Old Master, Mr. Chu, I just remembered I have other matters to attend to, I’ll take my leave first.”
After Qian Youquan left, Chu Ge led Mr. Nangong upstairs to the rest room to sit down.
“Old Master, now that it’s just the two of us here, please speak freely about anything you have on your mind.”
Chu Ge asked.
Mr. Nangong sighed and said to Chu Ge, “Recently, I’ve been reviewing the Nangong Family’s ounts, and to my surprise, I discovered that my third brother had secretly established his ownpany behind my back. Although thepany is not veryrge, and the legal person is not under his name, it is in fact under the name of his trusted assistant, Assistant Shang.”
Chu Ge nodded and continued listening to Old Master Nangong speak.
“Actually, if Assistant Shang were an outsider, it wouldn’t matter, but he is the illegitimate son my third brother had outside, who was brought in his lifeter to work as his assistant. No one knows this secret.”
Mr. Nangong sighed again and continued, “These are debts of frivolity my third brother incurred when he was young. However, that’s not the main point. The real issue is, my third brother also transferred some of the shares from his children’s hands behind my back. And these shares, they all went to Assistant Shang.”
Chu Ge’s eyes narrowed slightly, puzzled he looked at Mr. Nangong, “Are you suggesting that maybe Third Old Master Nangong is also being used by someone?”
Mr. Nangong nodded, “That is my suspicion.”
Chu Ge understood. Mr. Nangong had once again taken a lenient view.
But as an old saying goes, the observer sees more of the game.
If Third Old Master Nangong hadn’t been so cruel towards him, why would he repeatedly try to harm him?
Although Chu Ge didn’t understand what exactly had urred, or if there was something he had overlooked, he was certain of one thing: Nangong Sanli indeed wanted to take Mr. Nangong’s ce.
After Mr. Nangong finished speaking and saw the indifferent expression on Chu Ge’s face, his heart sank. He knew Chu Ge clearly didn’t believe Nangong Sanli was possibly being used by someone.
Indeed, even he had his doubts. Nangong Sanli was a smart man, the smartest among their siblings. Their father had praised his intelligence more than once, but it was also because of his cleverness that he tended to be overlypetitive and carried a strong hostility.
This was why their father thought that if the family inheritance was handed over to him, he wouldn’t be able to get along with his brothers.
Mr. Nangong sighed, it seemed that his father’s predictions were correct.
The atmosphere around them fell into a brief silence, as neither of them initiated any conversation.
Mr. Nangong sat there silently, filled with mncholy.
At that moment, a knock on the door sounded. Chu Ge nced sideways and said, “What is it?”
“Mr. Chu, Lin Zhao hase again; he seems very anxious, like a rushed sparrow.”
Chu Ge’s eyes narrowed slightly. He stood up, opened the door, “Let him in.”
He had nned to take Lin Zhao to see Mr. Nangong tomorrow, but now that the Old Master was here, he might as well have Lin Zhao meet him directly.
It was also an opportunity to show the Old Master the true face of his so-called third brother.
Lin Zhao arrived, with obvious traces of tears on his face. Chu Ge was taken aback; he had never imagined Lin Zhao crying and asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you? Why did you cry?”
Lin Zhao’s tears, which he had been holding back, started falling again at Chu Ge’s question.
He cried loudly, and his cries even echoed in the hallway.
Chu Ge pulled him into the resting room and poured him a ss of water, “Alright, be a man, speak up if something is wrong. What’s the use of crying?”
Lin Zhao wiped away his tears forcefully, he didn’t recognize Mr. Nangong, so after a single nce, he turned to Chu Ge and took out a USB drive from his pocket, handing it over to Chu Ge, “Mr. Chu, this was left to me by my father. Inside, he described how Nangong Sanli used him and how he framed my father. I’ve just found out that my father had left this, it seems he foresaw that Nangong Sanli would act against him.
But for my sake, he still went through with it, I’m truly unfilial…”
Lin Zhao said, and once again couldn’t help but cry, truly heartbroken.
When his father’s death was mentioned, Chu Ge fell silent. He didn’tfort Lin Zhao this time; sometimes, crying does make one feel a bit lighter.
Mr. Nangong looked at Chu Ge, confused, “What does he mean? Did Nangong Sanli kill his father?”
Is that what he just said? He didn’t mishear, did he? How could that be possible?
