<h4>Chapter 733: Chapter 0735: Facing Choices</h4>


    Nangong Yinghao wore a face full of disbelief as he looked over at Chu Ge, seemingly pleading for an exnation.


    Chu Ge didn’t speak; instead, he brought over aptop, turned it on, then plugged in a USB drive and opened a video, which disyed Lin Zhang’s figure.


    Nangong Yinghao listened to Lin Zhang’s words from start to finish twice over to calm his emotions, but to believe that Nangong Sanli hadmitted murder was still something incredibly difficult for him to ept.


    Chu Ge, watching the contents of the video, was astonished by Lin Zhang’s actions; he hadn’t expected him to premeditate leaving behind this video, surely indicating that Lin Zhang knew his own fate—that Nangong Sanli might kill him to silence him.


    But since he was aware that Nangong Sanli might kill him to silence him, why would he still choose Nangong Sanli?


    As Chu Ge pondered this, Lin Zhang didn’t provide an answer in the video, but that had already be irrelevant.


    The important thing now was that the video was ced before Old Master Nangong; it all depended on Old Master Nangong’s own view and stance.


    However, Old Master Nangong remained silent for a long time, not saying a word, just staring quietly at theptop screen.


    Lin Zhao waited a long time. Seeing that Old Master Nangong did not speak, thinking he did not believe, he anxiously stepped forward, his eyes desperately seeking Old Master Nangong’s as he asked, "Old Master Nangong, could it be that you don’t believe it?"


    "My father is already dead, the words of the dying carry weight—are you really not going to believe what he said? Do you think he would falsely use you posthumously?"


    Lin Zhao became agitated; his eyes widened as he looked at Old Master Nangong, his face flushed red.


    Chu Ge also observed Old Master Nangong with a doubtful gaze, his reaction being quite unexpected, "Could it be that Old Master Nangong doesn’t believe it?"


    Old Master Nangong shook his head, his face showing an unmistakable disappointment. He said, "I just never thought Nangong Sanli could do such a thing."


    "There are many more things you haven’t thought of," Lin Zhao said with a slightly unfriendly tone.


    Chu Ge nced sideways at him; he knew Lin Zhao spoke this way because he was furious, and he patted Lin Zhao on the shoulder, reassuring him, "Old Master Nangong won’t just let it be, rest assured."


    Yet Lin Zhao, hearing Chu Ge’s words, felt not the least bit reassured. On the contrary, he became even more eager for Old Master Nangong to make a stance right then and there.


    "Old Master Nangong, what are you nning to do?" Lin Zhao asked with an usatory tone.


    Old Master Nangong, ustomed to others’ ttery and praise, felt a wave of displeasure rising within him facing such questioning from a junior like Lin Zhao.


    But then he pondered that his father was killed by his own brother, and suppressed his displeasure.


    "This matter can’t be resolved based solely on your testimony, I need to investigate further," Old Master Nangong stated.


    Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao instantly grew impatient, jumping up from his seat, looking agitatedly at Old Master Nangong, saying, "These words of yours clearly show that you don’t trust me!"


    He turned his head ringly at Chu Ge, adding, "Is this what you call cooperation? To avenge my father? Hmph! My own methods would be more satisfying."


    Chu Ge slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at Old Master Nangong, not understanding what there was left to doubt in the face of such concrete evidence.


    "Old Master Nangong, I can testify, Nangong Sanli directed Lin Zhang, Lin Zhao’s father, to follow me, trying toplicate my situation, creating an opportunity for Nangong Sanli to take action against you."


    Chu Ge stated, "Although I am not clear about how Lin Zhang died, it’s certain that Nangong Sanli harbored intentions to harm you, I really don’t understand what you are hesitating about now."


    As a leader, seeing such timidity and hesitation in Old Master Nangong revealed traits a leader should not possess.


    How did such a person ascend step by step to the status he holds today?


    He must have certain methods to have brought the Nangong family to such a great standing, bing the foremost among the Six Major Families of Kyoto, yet what he showed now was an image of utter weakness and ipetence.


    Listening to even Chu Ge beginning to question him, Old Master Nangong sighed lightly, shaking his head slightly, and said, "Many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. How could I possibly tolerate someone who repeatedly seeks to harm me? However, this matter needs careful consideration, and without solid proof, Nangong Sanli will not confess."


    After hearing this, Lin Zhao’s anger eased slightly. He sat down silently, murmuring, "Is there really no chance then?"


    Old Master Nangong shook his head, "There is a chance, but it requires patience. My younger brother is very meticulous in whatever he does and entrusts everything to Xiao Shang; even if something small is unearthed, he will surely push all responsibilities onto Xiao Shang."


    That also exins why, even after discovering Nangong Sanli meddling with share issues, he never took any action.


    Old Master Nangong sighed and said, "The rtionships among these wealthy families are not as simple as you imagine. It’s not just about punishing him because he made a mistake. The seriousness of the issue concerns his safety—if I rashly make a move against him, it would inevitably involve the interests of the Nangong family, leading to a chain reaction, and that would be very unwise."


    Ultimately a businessman, Old Master Nangong’s perspective always prioritized the interests of the Nangong family.


    This made Lin Zhao even angrier, he red at Old Master Nangong, teeth clenched, and said, "In your eyes, a human life is even less important than money? It’s truly pitiful to live like you do!"


    Lin Zhao took a deep breath; he was no longer the impulsive Lin Zhao of the past. After his father’s death, he had matured a lot. He nced sideways at Chu Ge and said to him, "Our cooperation ends here—I will seek revenge for my father in my own way."


    Chu Ge narrowed his eyes, a sh of indecipherable emotion crossing his eyes, and as Lin Zhao was about to leave, Chu Ge stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Old Master Nangong didn’t say he wouldn’t handle this matter."


    "He didn’t say? Look at his hesitation; do you think he would be this calm if his father had been killed by someone?"


    Lin Zhao coldly huffed.


    Chu Ge fell silent because he knew Lin Zhao was right. If the situation were reversed, Old Master Nangong would certainly not remain so indifferent.


    Old Master Nangong also froze; he understood Lin Zhao’s words, but he had too many concerns to simply ignore the situation altogether.
