<strong>Chapter 765: Chapter 0767: Infighting Within the Family</strong>


    Since the kidnapping of Mu Bingtong was meant to coerce Chu Ge, with Mu Bingtong now in his hands, the next step was to notify Chu Ge, after all, Chu Ge is the main character in this y.


    When Mu Bingtong woke up, she found herself tied to a chair. She squinted against the ring sunlight and realized that she seemed to be in a decrepit house—upon closer inspection, it appeared to be either a warehouse or an abandoned factory.


    Looking down at her predicament, her mouth was sealed with tape, her hands were bound behind her back, and she was sitting on a chair, secured from head to toe with nylon rope so tightly she could hardly move. Moreover, ever since she regained consciousness, her head had been spinning, preventing her from thinking clearly.


    Trying to get a good look at everything in front of her, she was met with the blinding sunlight each time she lifted her head. Mu Bingtong had no choice but to turn her head to the other side, then she noticed that she was facing a window—this was the only source of light in the dpidated factory, and it was somewhat bothersome for her.


    Every time she looked up, the sunlight was blinding. After several attempts, Mu Bingtong was so tormented that tears fell, and she had to close her eyes.


    While she had her eyes closed, footsteps slowly approached her. She tried to open her eyes, but the merest flutter of her eyelids was met with the sun’s harsh re. In order to protect her vision, Mu Bingtong was forced to keep her eyes shut.


    “Ts, ts, ts, is the little beauty crying? This video has to be captured well, if Chu Ge sees it, he’ll definitely be heartbroken,” Yang Kun sneered, turned on his phone and started recording a video of Mu Bingtong. Mu Bingtong tried to open her eyes, but the brightness blinded her, and tears uncontrobly welled up. She had no choice but to keep her eyes shut, looking pitiful.


    With a ‘ding!’ from the phone, Chu Ge opened his device and was greeted with such a scene. His originally calm face suddenly darkened, and even Mr. Nangong, who was speaking to him, was frightened into silence by his expression.


    “Friend Chu Ge, has something happened? Do you need my help?” Nangong Yinghao was a person of status and seeing Chu Ge’s reaction, he knew something was up. Identifying this as an opportunity to curry favor with Chu Ge, he quickly offered his assistance.


    Chu Ge stared at the video for a while before finally shaking his head and standing up.


    “There’s no need to trouble Old Master Nangong with this matter for now. If I need help, I’ll inform Old Master Nangong immediately. I have to go.” After hurriedly taking his leave from Old Master Nangong, Chu Ge left the Nangong Family’s vi with an aura of hostility he could not hide, and even the sound of opening the car door was loud and forceful.


    Although he wouldn’t say he deeply loved Mu Bingtong, he still felt that she was a good girl and approved of her as a wife. Now that his fiancée had been kidnapped, he couldn’t sit still.


    Pushing the elerator to the max, Chu Ge couldn’t be bothered with traffic rules at the moment. While speeding like a madman, he called Yang Kun, who had also appeared in the video, clearly not intending to keep a low profile.


    Shortly after Chu Ge left the old mansion of the Nangong Family, a figure suddenly appeared in an empty room on the second floor. He leaned against the window, watching Chu Ge’s car speeding away, and only withdrew his gaze when the car disappeared from sight. This person was none other than Nangong Sanli, one of the Old Masters.


    “Thump, thump!” came a knock at the door, and only then did Nangong Sanlie back to his senses. He nced at the door and said in a somewhat somber voice, “Come in!”


    The door was promptly opened, and a man dressed as a servant of the Nangong Family walked in with a tray, on which was a freshly brewed pot of tea.


    Upon entering the room, the man closed the door behind him. By this time, Nangong Sanli had already walked away from the window and casually sat down on the sofa.


    The man ced the tray on the coffee table and methodically took out the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Nangong Sanli, and watched as hepleted these actions with ease, causing Nangong Sanli’s brow to furrow tightly.


    “Alright, there are no outsiders here, no need for this act. Where is the thing I asked for?” Nangong Sanli asked coldly, his brow still furrowed, his face not looking pleased.


    The man smiled slightly, ignoring Nangong Sanli’s words, and continued doing his own thing. After pouring a cup of tea for Nangong Sanli, he did not retreat immediately. Instead, he took out another cup, poured himself a cup of tea, and only then did he sit down leisurely on the sofa, directly opposite Nangong Sanli.


    Though Nangong Sanli frowned and showed his displeasure, he did not say anything. Clearly, this man’s identity was no simple matter.


    After sitting down, the man did not start talking to Nangong Sanli right away. Instead, he picked up the cup of tea, blew gently to cool the steam, and took a light sip. Nangong Sanli rubbed his forehead with a headache and, eventually, had to swallow his pride and ask the man, “Did you bring me the thing I wanted?”


    “Mr. Nangong, what’s the rush? Chu Ge has gone out now, don’t worry, he won’t be returning anytime soon,” the man said confidently, crossing his legs, even though dressed as a Nangong Family servant, his demeanor was far from that of a subordinate, clearly not an ordinary person.


    Hearing what the man said, Nangong Sanli indeed felt a lot more relieved. He had finally found an opportunity after all this time. These days, Old Master Nangong himself seemed to be up to something, spending all day with Chu Ge, and Nangong Sanli couldn’t even find a chance to see Old Master Nangong alone, let alone plot against him.


    Chu Ge was not an easy person to deal with, and even Nangong Sanli had to be extra cautious when facing him, for fear of being exposed by an unwitting slip. Although the reason for Chu Ge’s sudden departure was unknown, it was a good thing as long as he was away, representing an opportunity for Nangong Sanli to act against Old Master Nangong.


    Nangong Sanli had beenying low for so long, intending to y the long game, but ever since the poison in Old Master Nangong’s body was cured by Chu Ge and his health was improving daily, along with Chu Ge’s support, Nangong Sanli became more anxious, and his subsequent ns often failed, never once sessfully toppling Old Master Nangong.


    Recently, Old Master Nangong had found some dirt on Nangong Sanli and using this leverage, he directly stripped Nangong Sanli of all positions in the Nangong Group.
