Chapter 687 - 0689: Family Doctor
At this moment, inside the Old Mansion of the Nangong Family, Old Master Nangong was examining the latest financial report of the company in his study. Despite his advanced age, which should have been suitable for retirement in the eyes of outsiders, the real business of the family was still in his hands.
"Master, your tea." The servant prepared the tea that Nangong Yinghao usually drank and brought it to the study. Nangong Yinghao nodded, and the servant then consciously withdrew.
While flipping through the financial report in his hands, Nangong Yinghao’s eyebrows involuntarily furrowed. How could it have declined so much when he had not intervened for just a while? Although angry, Old Master Nangong, having seen much of the world, did not make a fuss over it.
"Cough, cough!" After coughing twice, Old Master Nangong subconsciously took the tea that the servant had just brought over. Without looking, he was about to bring it to his lips.
The tea inside was top-quality Longjing, Old Master Nangong’s favorite tea. The clear color of the tea looked even prettier in the reflection of the glass cup. Old Master Nangong lifted the cup, his lips already touching the glass, but then his nose twitched.
Bringing the tea cup close to his eyes, as the tea was brewed in a transparent glass, what was inside was naturally a captivating scene. However, apart from the emerald green tea leaves and the clear tea, there was nothing else in the cup.
His eyes squinted, a quick flash of brightness crossed the clear depths of the Old Master’s eyes. He placed the glass cup on the desk, his eyes intently staring at the cup.
Since the last time Chu Ge had helped him detoxify with the special ’Earth Ganoderma,’ it wasn’t long before Old Master Nangong felt changes in his body. Not only was his body stronger than before, but his sense of touch and smell had also become much sharper; his taste had sharpened as well, and things that might not have been noticed before now seemed magnified tenfold in front of Old Master Nangong, making them hard to ignore.
Old Master Nangong naturally noticed the changes in his body. He had asked Chu Ge what was happening with his body, and Chu Ge just smiled and did not make Old Master Nangong pay attention, thus Old Master Nangong knew there was nothing wrong with him.
That cup of tea; the moment Old Master Nangong came close, he could smell a scent that shouldn’t belong to the fragrance of tea leaves. Oddly enough, it was a scent he had encountered before, the same scent that was used in the previous attempt to poison him.
