The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 652: Chapter 654 Ghosts Wailing and Wolves Howling

Nangong Man Sha pondered for a moment. Although she didn’t know why Chu Ge suddenly had this idea, opening a traditional Chinese medicine clinic could indeed facilitate Chu Ge’s future actions.

However, based on her understanding of Chu Ge, he didn’t seem like someone who could confine himself to one place. She couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Chu, are you sure you want to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic? Isn’t this contrary to your nature?"

Chu Ge smiled and joked, "It seems Miss Man Sha knows me very well."

The enchanting voice of Nangong Man Sha rang out, "I have indeed spent a lot of thought on Mr. Chu."

Chu Ge was at a loss for words; he coughed lightly, then spoke, "So I still have to ask for Miss Man Sha’s help after all." noveldrama

Nangong Man Sha chuckled softly, "Don’t worry, leave it to me."

Having received Nangong Man Sha’s assurance, Chu Ge hung up the phone. He discussed his ideas with the renovation master and suggested partitioning off a separate compartment on the first floor.

Chu Ge looked at the blueprint for a long while and felt something was amiss. He picked up a pen and began modifying the blueprint until at last, a blueprint with mechanisms was properly revised.

He showed the blueprint to the renovation master, who recognized the intricacies immediately and exclaimed, "The homeowner is clearly an expert in the Five Elements. Such a mechanism design is very ingenious."

Chu Ge was also surprised, "Master, you can understand it?"

The master laughed heartily, nodding, and said, "I can understand, but also not understand. Understand in knowing how to set up such a mechanism; not understand because I don’t know the purpose of it."

Chu Ge understood, but had no intention of explaining.

At that moment, there was suddenly a commotion outside. Chu Ge looked towards the noise, only to see that the crowd originally gathered at the door had dispersed, and standing at the door was a young man wielding an iron rod with a fierce expression, bare-chested in the cold weather, his tattoos displayed, clearly a local thug.

The master felt nervous, hurriedly introduced, "Old boss, this man is a well-known local tyrant around here, please don’t get into a conflict with him."

The old master was also kind-hearted, earnestly reminding Chu Ge, "He has powerful backing behind him, and it’s quite significant."

Chu Ge nodded slightly, "You all go upstairs and stop working for now. In case a fight breaks out, I don’t want you to get hurt."

Seeing that these people had bad intentions, Chu Ge didn’t want them to get involved and potentially get hurt.

Once the master left, Chu Ge moved forward indifferently, stood at the door, and calmly watched them.

The bare-chested man, upon seeing Chu Ge, disdainfully said, "Who’s in charge here?"

Chu Ge’s voice was cold, "I am. What is it, you tell me."

The man, noticing Chu Ge’s fearless demeanor, sneered slightly, "You are? I heard you want to set up a shop here, do you know the rules around here?"

Chu Ge shook his head, "I don’t know."

A flicker of suspicion crossed the bare-chested man’s mind. Was this man truly fearless, or was it just an act?

"This is my territory, since you want to set up shop here, you need to follow my rules. You need to pay protection money on time every month."

Chu Ge raised his eyebrows slightly, "Protection money?"

The bare-chested man slowly approached, he looked around the shop as he spoke, "Yes, but I’m also curious, they say this building is haunted, yet you dare buy it, you are quite brave."

Chu Ge is known for his courage, not just because he bought this house, but because from the start, he looked calmly into my eyes without showing any fear or trying to curry favor.

"It doesn’t matter how daring I am, but I think you’re pretty brave too, daring to openly extort protection money in broad daylight. Aren’t you worried about getting caught?" Chu Ge spoke up.

The man seemed to find it a laughable joke, clicking his tongue before speaking, "Getting caught? Hahaha, haven’t you heard of my big name?"

Chu Ge shook his head, "I’m new here and don’t know anyone, much less you."

Upon hearing this, the bare-chested man became even more outrageous, realizing he was dealing with an outsider, who had nothing to fear.

After all, outsiders are the easiest to bully.

"I’m the local tyrant here, Lin Zhao is my name. This area is under my control, and this nonsense about getting caught doesn’t exist."

Lin Zhao clicked his tongue arrogantly, picked up a stick, tapped Chu Ge’s shoulder lightly, "Considering you’re an outsider, I won’t bully you too much. A protection fee of 30,000 should suffice."

Although most people scattered, a few who liked stirring up trouble stayed to watch the spectacle.

Hearing Lin Zhao demand 30,000 right off the bat made them gasp in shock. "This Lin Zhao really knows how to ask for money, seeing someone is an outsider and immediately demanding 30,000."

"Hmph, this guy only knows how to bully outsiders, relying on his family having some money. I heard his father works in one of the Nangong Family’s businesses, just a worker, yet he boasts about their connections with the Nangong Family, naturally, nobody dares to offend them."

"Exactly, sigh, isn’t our area’s decline because of scum like Lin Zhao? If it weren’t for him bullying people around here all the time, people wouldn’t have moved away, leaving only us old folks behind."

People whispered among themselves in the crowd, Lin Zhao naturally didn’t hear any of it.

But Chu Ge heard it all clearly, another one using the Nangong Family to bully others.

"What if I refuse to pay?" Chu Ge spoke up.

There was no way he was going to pay.

Lin Zhao was startled, despite this man being an outsider, he was surprisingly defiant and confident.

"Not pay? Then you don’t know what I’m capable of." Lin Zhao’s stick wavered in his hand, constantly worried it would strike Chu Ge the next moment.

"Boys, smash it!"

A few young and strong men behind Lin Zhao, upon hearing his command, immediately picked up sticks and charged forward, but the store was still being renovated, empty inside, and they didn’t know what Lin Zhao wanted them to smash.

One of them asked puzzled, "Boss, what do you want us to smash here?"

Aside from wooden boards and tiles, there really wasn’t anything.

Lin Zhao glared at the man irritably, Smash what? You tell me what to smash! Of course, it’s to beat someone!

"Smash him!" Lin Zhao pointed at Chu Ge.

However, just as his finger stretched out, it was gripped by a strong force, and the next moment, a terrifying scream filled the air...
