Chapter 103: Ning Ze's Grievance

Afterward, Ning Xiaoren secretly summoned Ning Ze.

Ning Ze came to see Ning Xiaoren with a bandage wrapped around his forehead, his attitude very respectful.

Ning Xiaoren snorted in his heart, knowing that Ning Ze could have completely healed the wound on his forehead, but deliberately left it to sell misery, which was to point out his merits and hard work to himself.

"Ning Ze, come, sit." A gentle smile appeared on Ning Xiaoren's face again.

Ning Ze sat down very simply, "The subordinate is really confused, it was clearly Young Family Head, you personally ordered the subordinate. But why did Young Family Head suddenly..."

Ning Xiaoren raised his hand to stop Ning Ze from continuing, "I will only explain one sentence. The inventor of the mechanical Fire-Exploding Monkey is actually Unlike Ning Zhuo!"

Ning Ze was stunned after hearing this, thinking he had misheard, "Wh, what?"

Ning Xiaoren did not explain further, but leaned back in his chair, picked up the teacup, and sipped slowly.

Ning Ze fully reacted, shocked to the point of standing up, unable to sit still. He widened his eyes and whispered, "Little Zhuo, Little Zhuo is actually the creator of the mechanical Fire-Exploding Monkey?!"

Ning Xiaoren only glanced at him and never spoke.

Ning Ze's mouth was wide open, his eyes unfocused, lost for a small while, before focusing again.

"No wonder, no wonder he has such a huge sum of money."

"But, but according to what he said, this matter involves a Golden Core cultivator..."

Ning Xiaoren put down the teacup and sighed, "It's Seeing Fei Si. Seeing Fei Si wanted to claim credit and offered the mechanical Fire-Exploding Monkey to the City Lord. Chen Cha is his subordinate, not Unlike Ning Zhuo. So, Chen Cha secretly forced Unlike Ning Zhuo to take away this reputation."

"This matter is still under investigation, but it's eight or nine out of ten."

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is." Ning Ze let out a turbid breath in relief, revealing a look of guilt, "It was I who blamed him wrongly."

"But in that situation at the time, I could only do that."

"I had to give the family, especially Young Family Head, you, an explanation."

Ning Xiaoren smiled, "I know, I know. Come, sit, sit down."

Ning Ze sat down again.

Ning Xiaoren continued, "I know you are loyal, and you gave me an explanation. But now, how can I give Unlike Ning Zhuo an explanation?"

"Ah?" Ning Ze was confused.

"Look, this is the situation now." Ning Xiaoren stood up, walked slowly around the desk, and walked to the front.

"Unlike Ning Zhuo has the cultivation base of the peak of the third layer, the Five Elements Qi Law is especially suitable for him, and he can create the mechanical Fire-Exploding Monkey, so he must be the main force for our clan to explore the Lava Immortal Palace!"

"Our clan must use him, use him heavily, use him importantly!"

"He is a rare mechanism seed of our clan."

"But now, he has grievances, has gaps, and is no longer close to our clan."

"If you were him, and you encountered what happened today, what would you think?"

Speaking of this, Ning Xiaoren walked to Ning Ze's front.

Ning Ze hurriedly stood up; he felt an ominous feeling growing in his heart, saying, "If I were Unlike Ning Zhuo, what would these investigations count for? This is not a grievance at all; on the contrary, having the opportunity to prove my innocence, I would be very grateful for this rare opportunity given by the family!"

"I am a member of the Ning family, loyal to the family, making contributions to the family, and making sacrifices is what I should do!"

"Hahaha." Ning Xiaoren pointed at Ning Ze and nodded, "You have awareness, Ning Ze, you are very good."

"I didn't misjudge you!"

Ning Ze hurriedly expressed humility.

Ning Xiaoren changed the subject, "But Unlike Ning Zhuo is not you; he is only sixteen years old, what can he understand? How much awareness can he have like you?"

Ning Ze, "Yes, the subordinate will definitely teach him well in the future and lead him to the right path!"

Ning Xiaoren nodded, "That's for the future."

"Now, Little Zhuo's heart is hurt. As elders, we naturally have to take care of him more, smooth out the hurdles in his heart, heal the scars in his heart, and let him grow up happily and practice happily, isn't that so?"

Ning Ze felt more and more ominous the more he listened.

Ning Xiaoren added, "As an elder, one should have a spirit of sacrifice. Ning Ze, do you have that level of awareness?"

Ning Ze was pressured by Ning Xiaoren face-to-face and could only bite the bullet and ask for advice.

Ning Xiaoren then transmitted sound to him, telling his plan.

Ning Ze was shocked and hurriedly waved his hands, "My, my lord, how can you do this? Where does this put me!"

It turned out that Ning Xiaoren's plan was to investigate Ning Ze next, and Ning Ze would be unable to bear the burden and reveal the "truth"—it turned out that for all these years, Ning Xiaoren had been secretly funding Unlike Ning Zhuo, spending a lot of spirit stones and resources for the latter's cultivation. But Ning Ze had embezzled from it and treated Unlike Ning Zhuo poorly.

Unlike Ning Zhuo stood out this time, and Ning Ze heard that Unlike Ning Zhuo possessed a huge sum of money, unable to bear the jealousy and greed, and borrowed the name of investigation to extort Unlike Ning Zhuo.

As a result, he was stopped in time by Ning Xiaoren, who was concerned about the family and kind, and after the investigation, the truth that had been covered up for more than ten years was discovered.

Ning Ze didn't want to take such a black pot at all!

Clearly, it was Ning Xiaoren who was unrighteous, didn't remember the kindness, and treated Unlike Ning Zhuo poorly, ignoring him for more than ten years, but in the end, he slandered him.

This is too despicable, too petty!

"Will you do it or not? Are you still my subordinate?" Ning Xiaoren glared, threatening directly.

"Do you dare not to do it? Think about the consequences!"

"Think about your son, is his name Ning Ji? He is living quite well in the family industry."

A bone-chilling coldness enveloped Ning Ze's heart.

Looking at the stern Ning Xiaoren, he suddenly realized: it turned out that he was appointed as the head of the investigation team by Ning Xiaoren, not because Ning Xiaoren wanted to rely on his relationship with Unlike Ning Zhuo and wanted to find out the source of the huge sum of money.

"No, this damn guy Ning Xiaoren wants to covet Little Zhuo's money, and wants to frame me, step on my body, deceive Little Zhuo, sell favor to Little Zhuo, and win over Little Zhuo!"

Realizing the truth, Ning Ze was so angry that his face turned red, his fists were clenched, and he breathed heavily.

Ning Xiaoren sneered disdainfully when he saw his posture.

It was this light sneer that was like polar ice water, extinguishing the fire of anger and hatred in Ning Ze's heart.

Ning Xiaoren is the Young Family Head, and he is his immediate superior; what can he do?

Clearly, it was Ning Ze who had brought up Unlike Ning Zhuo for these ten years, although he didn't use his heart, Unlike Ning Zhuo was indeed protected by him.

But now, Ning Xiaoren wants to win over Unlike Ning Zhuo, wants to pick the peach, so he frames and wrongs Ning Ze to forge a false appearance to make up for his own mistakes.

How insidious, how despicable!

No way.

Ning Ze had no way.

He could only swallow his teeth and bear this mistake and responsibility that was not his.

Because he is a subordinate, he makes a living under Ning Xiaoren. Ning Xiaoren is the Young Family Head, second only to the Ning family head. Even if Ning Ze refused to follow to the death, he would be forced to submit.

At this moment, Ning Ze suddenly thought of Unlike Ning Zhuo, whom he had forced not long ago.

"So being forced by others and unable to resist feels so painful." He was full of bitterness and despair.

Thinking this way, he suddenly felt that he deserved it.

"Young Family Head, it was indeed me who embezzled, embezzled your secret funding, everything is my fault!" Ning Ze's tone became incomparably hoarse, his expression extremely gloomy.

Ning Xiaoren then patted his shoulder, "I won't treat you badly."

"You move to the family dungeon first."

"I will notify your wife to visit you in prison."

Ning Ze was stunned; he didn't expect it to be so fast, and couldn't help but look up at Ning Xiaoren.

Ning Xiaoren was full of smiles, but his eyes were full of cold light.

Ning Ze had to lower his head, his tone incomparably heavy, "Yes, the subordinate obeys."

……

The Ning family head returned to the mansion with a smile.

This negotiation, he fought for a lot of real benefits for the Ning family, and the harvest was far beyond expectations.

Ning Xiaoren came to report, telling the whole story of how he framed Ning Ze and won over Unlike Ning Zhuo.

The Ning family head stroked his beard and pondered, "You handled it quite well."

"You must remember, Unlike Ning Zhuo is different now. At least for now, the family has to rely on his strength. You should restrain your temper." The Ning family head also knew his son's greedy nature.

He just glanced at it quietly, making Ning Xiaoren sweat profusely, and hurriedly nodded to indicate that he would never do this again.

"Father, this is the result of the child's emergency investigation." Ning Xiaoren then handed over a lot of information.

The biggest common point of many pieces of information was Unlike Ning Zhuo.

These pieces of information were closely related to him. ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
