Chapter 601: Chapter 0603: Violating Laws and Regulations
Nangong Man Sha’s exquisitely made-up face surged with anger as she gave Shao Gang a dangerous look. The blood-red pupils of her eyes were especially piercing under the dazzling sunlight.
She looked at Shao Gang and questioned in a probing tone, “Doctor Shao, do you have anything to say?”
After all, Shao Gang was still considered a distinguished guest of the Nangong Family, so she couldn’t just openly clash with Shao Gang.
Shao Gang cleared his throat and gave a sheepish smile. In a surreptitious manner, he said, “Miss Man Sha, how could you believe what these people are saying? They are nothing but holdouts. I’ve already purchased this land, but they regard the compensation as too little, hence they stubbornly refuse to leave.
Nowadays, everyone pretends to be pitiful to gain sympathy. They live here not because I invited them to, you see. They’re willing to let so many children sleep under a bridge, hungry and cold. It’s quite pitiable to watch.”
Nangong Man Sha just quietly watched him, saying nothing.
Mrs. Wu, standing behind her, could no longer listen in silence. She glared at Shao Gang, her finger trembling as she pointed at him and scolded, “Shao Gang! How dare you confuse right and wrong, black and white! It was clearly you who took things by force! You are nothing but a bandit! You are a robber!”
Shao Gang didn’t even blush when telling lies. He scoffed lightly and said, “It’s clearly because you are insatiable, wanting to extort a large sum of money from . And now you put on this pitiful act here, hoping to gain Miss Man Sha’s sympathy? Miss Man Sha won’t believe you.”
Nangong Man Sha watched Shao Gang, looking confident and self-righteous, and a flicker of doubt passed through her heart.
She was inclined to believe Chu Ge’s side of the story, and besides, the situation right in front of her showed these dozen or so children living under a bridge with their makeshift shelter and belongings, clearly indicating they had been staying here for days.
Living under this bridge, there’s no security for these dozen children at all. Who could be so heartless as to gamble with the lives of so many children?
Nangong Man Sha looked at Mrs. Wu, watching her softly crying, not looking at all like she was faking it.
She sighed softly and took a step forward to say to Mrs. Wu, “Don’t worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. However, it’s not a solution for these children to stay here now. How about this, I will find a place for the children to stay first.”
Mrs. Wu shook her head, “No, it’s not possible, I have to stay here to guard the place. Otherwise, Shao Gang, that bandit, will completely claim my orphanage for himself!”
Mrs. Wu emphasized her words heavily as she said this. She had long harbored a deep-seated hatred for Shao Gang, truly wishing that heaven would strike him dead with lightning!
Nangong Man Sha looked at Mrs. Wu with difficulty, then turned to Chu Ge with a pleading gaze. Her eyes clearly conveyed the ssage that they should persuade Mrs. Wu.
This kind of matter, Chu Ge was an outsider, and it wasn’t appropriate for him to interfere too much. So, Chu Ge gave Lin Dong a look.
Lin Dong understood right away, and he imdiately stepped forward to Mrs. Wu and said, “Mrs. Wu, how about listening to Miss Man Sha? The children are still hungry, and cooking here is unhygienic. What if the children get sick, wouldn’t it cost money to go to the hospital?”
Mrs. Wu hesitated. She was well aware of this point! But what if they left and Shao Gang started construction?
“No need to worry, just now Miss Man Sha said she would go back to investigate this matter. Miss Man Sha is true to her word, she will definitely give us a satisfactory response.”
Mrs. Wu still shook her head, “No! How do we know if they’re not all in on it together? What if this is just their new trick to deceive ? Xiao Dong, you can’t be fooled by others!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong looked at Nangong Man Sha with so guilt and said, “Miss Man Sha, this orphanage is Mrs. Wu’s lifeline. Now that it has co to this state, it’s understandable that she doesn’t want to leave. I hope you don’t bla her.”
Nangong Man Sha smiled slightly, “It’s okay, I can understand Mrs. Wu’s feelings. Mrs. Wu, I can assure you that until the investigation is complete, I will definitely send people to watch over this place so that no one will tear down the orphanage, nor allow any construction to take place here. I always keep my word.”
Mrs. Wu looked at Nangong Man Sha with suspicion. When she first t her, her heart was filled with hope, but after hearing what she said, she felt sowhat disappointed.
She didn’t directly question Doctor Shao, instead maintaining an attitude of hesitation.
Actually, once she cald down and thought about it from a different perspective, there was nothing wrong with what Miss Man Sha had done.
After a while, Mrs. Wu’s emotions gradually settled down.
With concern, Mrs. Wu looked at Nangong Man Sha and asked, “Can you truly keep your word?”
Nangong Man Sha nodded and said with a smile, “Of course, we mbers of the Nangong Family always keep our promises. Rest assured, with
here, no one will dare to do anything to the orphanage!”
Her words were ant for Mrs. Wu, but also for Shao Gang.
Shao Gang had been quietly listening all along, and when he heard Nangong Man Sha promise that the orphanage would be safe, alarm bells rang in his mind.
From the beginning, he was aware that Nangong Man Sha was not fond of him and even held doubts about his dical skill. Initially, when he learned that Nangong Man Sha had the Innate Pulse condition, he thought about treating her to foster a better relationship between them.
But no matter how he tried to ingratiate himself, Nangong Man Sha seed to turn a blind eye, shutting him out.
Especially when he heard that Nangong Man Sha had spoken ill of him in front of Old Master Nangong and even expressed doubts about his dical skill, he gave up on her.
He had given up on winning over Nangong Man Sha and sought to stay out of each other’s way – as long as she didn’t interfere with his path to wealth, he wouldn’t take any action against her.
But just now, when he heard that Nangong Man Sha intended to get involved in investigating the matter, a bad premonition arose in him.
Though Nangong Man Sha didn’t show it, he could sense that she was always looking for an opportunity to drive him away. If he were to leave the Nangong Family, then all the benefits he had gained through the family’s support would vanish.
This was the last thing he wanted to see!
Shao Gang glowered resentfully at Nangong Man Sha’s retreating figure, huffed under his breath, and then quietly turned and left.
He needed to rush back to find help and discuss how to deal with this matter.
By the ti Nangong Man Sha realized she needed to clarify things with Shao Gang, he was already gone.
Feeling sowhat frustrated, she huffed softly, “This Shao Gang, relying on the Nangong Family’s power, has done quite a few outrageous things!”
Chu Ge, upon hearing this, was sowhat puzzled, “If you know he has done several things detrintal to your family, even those that are ethically questionable and illegal, why do you still protect him?”
