The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 661: Chapter 0663: Nangong Family

Thinking about it, Shao Gang’s eyes hardened, and he was indeed about to smash the phone, but before he could act, the phone that had just hung up began to ring again with a ’ding-a-ling’. This time it really scared Shao Gang quite a bit; his hand trembling, the phone almost fell to the ground, but luckily he reacted swiftly and caught it in time.

The hand that had just thought about smashing the phone now had to hold it steady for fear that he would accidentally drop it.

The screen still didn’t display a number, it was an unknown call. Shao Gang took a deep breath, swiped his thumb over the answer button, and put the phone to his ear, his breathing sounding somewhat heavy and his expression looking quite bad.

"What do you command?" Shao Gang emphasized the word "command" with bite, showing that he very much disliked answering the calls from this mysterious person, yet had no choice but to pick up.

"Hehehehe!" On the other end of the call came a series of sharp laughs that echoed in the quiet room. Shao Gang’s forehead vein twitched visibly; had he not suppressed the urge, he would have likely smashed or hung up the phone by now.

The laughter lasted quite a while before the voice on the other end said, "Nothing much, I just wanted to remind you that Nangong Yinghao is an old fox. Don’t think that just because he hasn’t said anything right now means you’re safe. I would advise you to be careful. Otherwise, you might not even know how you died!"

Shao Gang gritted his teeth, and after a long moment, forced a few words through his clenched teeth, "Yes, I understand."

This time, the call was truly disconnected. Shao Gang held the phone for a long time, clenched his fist tightly, and finally placed the phone on the desk before turning and leaving the room.

He was also very curious about the so-called ’Earth Ganoderma’ that Chu Ge brought. After all, he had studied medicine and wasn’t unfamiliar with Earth Ganoderma. Not just ones aged for several hundred years, even those over a thousand years old couldn’t have that kind of effect. noveldrama

Just before, when he diagnosed Old Master Nangong, the elder was still very weak, but how could he recover completely after taking a bit of Earth Ganoderma? Originally, he thought this recovery was just a superficial improvement, that Old Master Nangong was pretending to deceive others. However, when he checked Old Master Nangong pulse with traditional Chinese medicine techniques, he discovered that Old Master Nangong had truly recovered, and was not just pretending.

This situation truly shocked Shao Gang, and at the same time made him curious about the ’Earth Ganoderma’ that Chu Ge brought. Even without the orders of this mysterious person, he had planned to investigate that Earth Ganoderma, to see what kind of magic it possessed to have such great efficacy. But unlike what he initially thought, this mysterious person actually directly commanded him to steal the ’Earth Ganoderma’, which undoubtedly made the task much more difficult.

Now was the afternoon, and the people of the Nangong Family who were out were out, playing and enjoying themselves, but no one remained in the Nangong residence. Shao Gang looked around and saw that aside from the bodyguards standing at both ends of each corridor, it was only the servants at home, while the other bodyguards were patrolling outside.

He remembered that the ’Earth Ganoderma’ was personally handed over to Old Master Nangong by Chu Ge, who had also instructed the elder to take it regularly. This indicated that the item was kept in Old Master Nangong’s room.

Old Master Nangong’s room was located in the center of the second floor, encompassing an entire separate set of rooms, including a kitchen, living room, bathroom, study, and his own bedroom. How should one put it—having money is indeed different.

Although Shao Gang didn’t see any other people around at this moment, he remained cautious and didn’t immediately take advantage of the opportunity to steal the Earth Ganoderma. He had not forgotten those bodyguards patrolling outside the Nangong residence—each of them strong and robust. If caught, he might not die but would surely be skinned alive. Not to mention those patrolling outside, just the bodyguards standing inside the house were enough trouble for Shao Gang. He realized that he needed to develop a detailed plan for this task.

As the evening approached, the sky in the west began to display a beautiful sunset, and the originally cold and quiet Nangong residence slowly became lively. The tinkling of laughter could be heard from the main entrance all the way inside the house.

Descending from the second floor, Shao Gang saw Nangong Man Sha, arm in arm with Old Master Nangong, seemingly sharing a joke that caused the elder to burst into hearty laughter. While Nangong Man Sha appeared to be talking to Old Master Nangong, her gaze would occasionally drift towards Chu Ge, who responded to Nangong Man Sha’s humor with a modest curling of the lips out of respect.

Shao Gang, leisurely coming down the stairs, observed Nangong Man Sha’s charming figure with a glint in his eyes, but noticed that she was utterly focused on Chu Ge, who, in turn, gave not a single glance to Nangong Man Sha. A hint of mockery flashed across Shao Gang’s face.

"Old Master Nangong, Miss Man Sha, Mr. Chu, you’ve returned," Shao Gang said, masking his expression with a friendly demeanor as he approached them. Nangong Man Sha looked at him, her brows furrowing slightly, then quickly turned her eyes back to Chu Ge.

"Ah, yes, the weather was nice today, so we went down the mountain for a walk. Hey, at my age, I can hardly handle even this little bit of activity," Old Master Nangong laughed and sat down on the sofa beside Nangong Man Sha with her assistance.

Chu Ge, seeing that there was nothing for him here, went back to his room. Shao Gang then sat down and took Old Master Nangong’s pulse again, finding his health was improving more and more—many of the internal chronic ailments had vanished. This discovery genuinely astounded Shao Gang, who quickly attributed the improvement to the effect of Chu Ge’s ’Earth Ganoderma’. He really hadn’t expected the Earth Ganoderma to be so potent.

Night fell quickly, and the people of the Nangong Family who had gone out returned one after another. After having dinner together and chatting for a while, they all retired to their rooms.

Back in his own room, Shao Gang sat in front of the bed smoking, thinking about how he could sneak into Old Master Nangong’s room and steal the Earth Ganoderma.

Before long, everyone in the Nangong residence went to rest, and the brightly lit villa was left with only a few lights on along the corridor. Except for the bodyguards outside, the Nangong residence fell into tranquility.

The Nangong old mansion covered a large area, and hence had many bodyguards. Each floor had four standing at the passageways, and these bodyguards had designated shift change times. There was a five-minute gap during their changeover when the mansion would be empty. Having spent much time in the Nangong residence, Shao Gang knew their schedule well. What he had to figure out now was how to slip into Old Master Nangong’s room during the shift change.

Old Master Nangong was advanced in years, yet his room was without attendants, and he still slept in his own room alone. Shao Gang was confident that he could handle Old Master Nangong himself.
