Chapter 661 - 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.
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.
