The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 638: Chapter 0640: Subcutaneous Foreign Body

The mental method within this Jade Plate is indeed a perfect match for the Cultivation Technique within the Jade Buddha; it seems Qian Youquan’s sincerity is quite genuine.

Qian Youquan provided the item that I wanted, and since Chu Ge is not one for holding grudges, he immediately agreed to treat Qian Youquan’s secret illness in his leg, which naturally overjoyed Qian Youquan.

This Jade Plate was spotted by him a few years ago in his own auction house, because it was simply too beautiful. Thus, Qian Youquan couldn’t bear to auction it off and kept it for himself instead.

If it weren’t for curing the secret illness in his leg this time, Qian Youquan would never take out the Jade Plate. However, knowing Chu Ge’s fondness for jade and given Chu Ge’s knowledge, even though it’s top-grade jade, he must have seen plenty. Wanting Chu Ge to heal his illness, Qian Youquan could only pay a price, which is why he ultimately gritted his teeth and took out the Jade Plate.

After carefully stowing away the Jade Plate, Chu Ge planned to go treat Qian Youquan’s hidden ailment.

Speaking of the Jade Plate, even without mentioning the mental method hidden inside, its mere appearance would make most people obsessed. Therefore, when Chu Ge accepted the Jade Plate and agreed to treat the hidden ailment, Qian Youquan simply thought it was because Chu Ge valued the preciousness of the Jade Plate and didn’t think otherwise.

This villa, nominally speaking, is just for Chu Ge to stay in for a while, but Mr. Nangong has privately decided to give it to Chu Ge. Due to many relationships, it wasn’t convenient to openly discuss this matter, but the meticulous arrangement in the villa is based entirely on Chu Ge’s preferences.

Shen Congwen still remembers the first time he and Chu Ge moved in here; Chu Ge was slightly surprised at heart. However, he did not overthink it, thinking it was just Mr. Nangong’s special way to make him happy.

After Shen Congwen privately marveled, he thought of more. The status of the Nangong Family is unmatched by ordinary families. Even their Shen Family is very polite towards the Nangong Family, let alone the fact that the Shen Family only has status and power in Shanghai. Under the feet of those in power in the Imperial Capital, they had no influence at all.

Knowing that Old Master Nangong treats Chu Ge in an unusual way, although Shen Congwen works for Chu Ge, he also treated Chu Ge with even more courtesy.

Now seeing Chu Ge accept the Jade Plate, Shen Congwen knew that Chu Ge was about to start treating Qian Youquan, so he put down his tea cup, exchanged a few polite words, and then mentioned he had some errands to run, leaving the entire space to Chu Ge.

Chu Ge had just put away the Jade Plate when he ran into Shen Congwen leaving; Shen Congwen greeted him and then left the villa. Chu Ge understood Shen Congwen’s intentions, so he just nodded his head and said nothing more.

Arriving at the living room, Qian Youquan was probably suffering from another bout of his secret leg disease. He was currently clutching the arms of the sofa tightly, his forehead covered in large beads of sweat, his lips turned pale, and the vibrancy originally in his eyes was reduced to confusion.

Chu Ge frowned and with a long stride, he reached Qian Youquan’s side. Hearing the sound, Qian Youquan caught a glimpse of Chu Ge’s silhouette from the corner of his eye and immediately grabbed Chu Ge’s hand as if he were a drowning man clutching the last straw for dear life.

At this moment, Qian Youquan was in such intense pain that his entire body was nearly numb, naturally not realizing how forcefully he was gripping Chu Ge’s hand. He was clutching Chu Ge’s arm so fiercely that Chu Ge, with a slight downturn of his eyes, could see that his arm was becoming swollen at the place where Qian Youquan held on. Yet, Chu Ge said nothing, nor did he push Qian Youquan away immediately. Instead, he squatted down and lifted Qian Youquan’s trousers, his gaze fixed on Qian Youquan’s lower leg.

At this instant, Qian Youquan’s lower leg was densely covered with black veins like talismans, tightly entwining his entire lower leg as if locked by vines. These dark veins had now spread to his knee, and beyond that would be Qian Youquan’s thigh.

Chu Ge’s brow furrowed once more, and then he removed Qian Youquan’s shoes. It was clear to see that there was not a single issue with Qian Youquan’s foot; the black veins began spreading upward from his ankle bone. Chu Ge did not rush to remove the black veins, but rather, observed quietly the direction in which they were spreading.

The veins appeared wildly aggressive. In the span of this short period, Qian Youquan’s originally wheat-colored lower leg had turned pitch black, his skin emitting a strange, eerie glow.

The crazily spreading black veins reached the knee in the blink of an eye, wrapping tightly around Qian Youquan’s entire knee. However, when they attempted to climb further up to his thigh, they seemed to encounter some obstacle, ultimately failing to spread any further and halting right at the knee.

The situation now was that Qian Youquan’s right thigh was healthy and normal, the area from the knee to the lower leg was engulfed by black veins and had turned completely black, and from the ankle upward, his foot was once again of a normal color and even capable of normal movement. This sort of condition was a first for Chu Ge.

"Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu, hurry, please save me!" These veins, which seemed to only change the color of the lower leg, actually caused Qian Youquan immense pain. He exerted so much force with his hand that he tore through the genuine leather sofa. His eyes, bulging like an enraged buffalo, were full of red blood vessels, and even the tone of his voice weakened drastically, in stark contrast to his previously full and powerful demeanor.

Chu Ge frowned once again, and suddenly a silver needle appeared in his hand. He gently inserted the silver needle into a certain acupoint on Qian Youquan’s neck; Qian Youquan’s body twitched, and the next second he passed out. NovelFire

After Qian Youquan had fainted, Chu Ge finally withdrew his arm from his grasp, rubbed the reddened arm, and shook his head helplessly.

All of his attention was now focused on Qian Youquan’s lower leg. Aside from the color changing completely to black, there seemed to be nothing unusual about the lower leg, yet Chu Ge’s gaze flickered.

He stared intently at the lower leg and suddenly pressed down on a spot. At first, where he pressed seemed normal, but soon it started moving as though something trapped beneath the skin was struggling to escape.

The corners of Chu Ge’s mouth curved up slightly as he discovered his target. Under his watchful eyes and thinking to escape? That was nothing short of a fantasy! noveldrama

As he was thinking this, Chu Ge’s other hand hadn’t even acted with the silver needle when the previously bulging area, as if suddenly deflated, flattened out. The bulge had disappeared; Chu Ge’s fingers moved, trying to detect the previously tangible, slimy object, which had somehow slipped away unnoticed.
