Chapter 642 - 0644: Improper Thoughts
Mr. Nangong was taken aback. He looked at Chu Ge with surprise and then thought of the Spiritual Liquid that Nangong Man Sha had brought, which was a gift from Chu Ge. A sense of relief washed over him and he sighed, shaking his head helplessly.
"Don’t look at me having battled across the lands for so many years, yet I can’t even recognize the jackals and tigers lurking by my side. I, the leader of the Nangong Family, am truly ashamed."
Chu Ge lowered his gaze, his thick eyelashes hiding the chill in his eyes. The corners of his mouth curled into a subtle smile as he said, "I don’t think it’s that Mr. Nangong can’t see through those jackals and tigers. It’s that you don’t want to face, nor are you willing to face, the fact that those close to you would harm their own for the sake of their interests, right?"
Mr. Nangong looked up, his murky eyes glittering with tears. Chu Ge had struck at the very heart of his thoughts.
Indeed, when a person reaches a certain age, especially someone who lacks nothing like him, what is most precious is family affection.
He didn’t want to see his relatives fighting each other over interests, a problem he had always been afraid to face and even continuously ran away from.
Now that Chu Ge had boldly laid everything out in front of him, he was forced to directly confront it, and he felt somewhat heartbroken.
"Mr. Chu can really see the true nature of matters. I’ve been too narrow-minded. They have already started to make their move against me, yet I still can’t bring myself to be harsh to them. Now, it’s only making my health deteriorate further. Who knows, one of these days, it might even cost me my life."
Mr. Nangong sighed, shaking his head helplessly, then asked, "What do you suggest I do, Mr. Chu?"
Chu Ge shared his thoughts with Mr. Nangong who remained silent for a while before slowly speaking, "Is it really that simple?"
