Chapter 403: Chapter 403 The Ning Family’s Treasured Jewel

"You backstabber, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because he knows people in the hospital. Quickly bring out my grandfather’s body!"

Ning Changfeng, blocking the entrance to the emergency room, pointed at Ning Mengyao’s nose and cursed loudly.

"Quick, return my father’s body so we can bury him... You’re just bullying us because of your connections, trying to snatch the Ning Family’s inheritance... That’s utterly shameless."

Ning Bingcai also stood by, egging him on.

And not forgetting to squeeze out a few crocodile tears.

Making it seem like he was the one being bullied.

Outside the emergency room, Ning Mengyao just stood by the door.

Not paying any attention to their yelling.

Her hands clasped together, she prayed fervently.

Surrounding her were Mr. Chen and the on-duty doctors, along with a group of security guards.

They couldn’t break in simply relying on themselves.

But the crowd of onlookers in the distance was chirping and chattering.

"Not even letting his own child see, this woman must be ruthless."

"This is the struggle of a wealthy family; obviously, this woman wants to monopolize the estate."

"Not letting his own child and grandchild in, claiming to resuscitate someone who’s already dead, it must be deliberate."

"For money, one really can do anything. Capture this and post it online, let her be shamed out of showing her face."

"Such a woman, truly cold-hearted, no matter how beautiful, should not be chosen!"

Amidst the chatter, dawn was breaking.

No one knew how long this farce would continue.

Seeing that the crowd was getting louder and louder.

Ning Bingcai even sat down on the ground, making a scene.

"Quick, return my dad’s body to me... Let me as a son fulfill my filial duties!"

"Filial duties? I bet you’re just waiting for me to die!"

The emergency room door opened.

Ning Zhenyue, seated in a wheelchair, was pushed out by Lin Fan.

His face glum, he looked at his unworthy children and grandchildren.

"Dad... Dad... you’re not dead?"

The sudden appearance of Ning Zhenyue had Ning Bingcai instantly stunned.

A death certificate had just been issued.

How could he possibly still be alive?

"Of course, you want me dead. You haven’t come home to see me for years, and now hear I’m in the hospital, you rush over to fulfill your filial duties. How did I give birth to such a beast?"

Ning Zhenyue ground his teeth as he looked at his unworthy son.

He truly regretted having had him in the first place.

"Grandpa, you’re awake!"

Ning Mengyao knelt on the ground.

Grasping her grandfather’s hand tightly.

Tears streaming, she looked at her kind grandfather.

"Yes, after a sleep, I’ve come to see a lot of things clearly. I was still selfishly hoping that these two beasts, being of the Ning bloodline, wouldn’t starve on the streets when I closed my eyes. But now it seems, if they don’t go begging, it would be a dishonor to the ancestors of the Ning Family. I now declare, from now on, Ning Mengyao is the only heir of the Ning Family. All my assets shall belong to her."

The words of Ning Zhenyue silenced the entire corridor.

The onlookers who just a moment ago sided with Ning Bingcai had dispersed.

After all, free speech, their words don’t matter.

"Dad, you can’t be so confused. She’s water that’s already been spilled; how can you give the entire estate to her? I’m your own son, and there’s also your own grandson. We’re the true bearers of the Ning surname!"

Ning Bingcai, sitting on the ground, stared astonished at his father.

Ning Changfeng stood aside, not knowing what to do.

He hadn’t expected that creating such a scene would result in no inheritance at all for himself.

"What of the Ning surname? Which of your actions have honored the ancestors of the Ning Family? Remember, from today on, whatever you do has nothing to do with the Ning Family. Get out of my sight!"

Ning Zhenyue’s face darkened as he glared at his second son and eldest grandson.

The old man who had been repeatedly hurt by them no longer wished to talk.

"Fine, very well then, these are your own words."

Ning Bingcai suddenly clenched his teeth and stood up furiously from the ground.

Pointing at Ning Zhenyue, he said, "You just think that we’re down on our luck now and aren’t doing well, you old fart. Remember this, it won’t be long before I make something of myself. When that day comes, even if you kneel and beg me to join the Ning Family, I won’t give you the satisfaction. All the suffering that follows will be of your own making, don’t forget the words you said!"

"You beast... get out... get out!"

Seeing his son behaving so disgracefully, Ning Zhenyue only felt darkness before his eyes.

He nearly passed out from anger.

"Today you tell me to leave, tomorrow your father will..."

Ning Changfeng wanted to continue his rant.

But the moment his eyes met Lin Fan’s,

The rest of the sentence was forcefully swallowed back down.

He cleared his throat and promptly dragged his father, rushing out of the hospital.

"Meng Yao, Lin Fan, let’s go home too. I have something to tell you both," said Ning Zhenyue after taking a deep breath.

Knowing some things could no longer be hidden,

It seemed today was the day he had no choice but to speak.

"Grandpa, wait a moment, I have something to arrange," said Lin Fan.

He nodded and then pulled Mr. Chen aside.

Whispering something to him.

Although Mr. Chen’s expression changed momentarily, he still nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Lin, rest assured, I can handle this kind of matter," Mr. Chen said.

Even though it was unclear how a living person had turned into a mummified corpse,

Dealing with such minor affairs was not difficult for the head of a hospital.

So, Chen escorted the three of them out of the hospital.

Lin Fan drove, taking Ning Mengyao and Ning Zhenyue back to the Ning Family mansion.

Although still somewhat weak, Ning Zhenyue led them straight to the study.

"Grandpa, you are still frail. If it’s something important, why not discuss it another day?" Meng Yao looked worriedly at her grandfather.

No matter what methods Lin Fan had used,

He was still recovering from a serious illness and should not overexert himself.

"No, this matter has always been weighing on my mind. If I don’t speak now, I fear it might cause trouble if one day I close my eyes for good," Ning Zhenyue waved his hand and sat down in a chair.

He then pointed with his cane to a table nearby.

"Lin Fan, move the table," Ning Zhenyue said.

Although puzzled why the old man requested this,

Lin Fan did not ask any questions.

He moved the long table from the corner to the side.

In its place by the wall, there were several loose bricks.

Lin Fan used two fingers to pry the bricks out one by one.

Soon, a small sandalwood box was revealed.

"No wonder Ning Bingcai tried to steal several times and never found it; it was hidden inside the wall."

Holding the not-so-heavy box, Lin Fan walked over to Ning Zhenyue.

On the box made of rosewood hung a small, exquisite lock.

"Whatever you see, don’t speak," Ning Zhenyue instructed Lin Fan and Ning Mengyao to stay calm.

Only then did Ning Zhenyue retrieve a small golden key from his pocket and unlock the intricate lock.

Next, he proceeded to open the rosewood box.

But as soon as there was a slight gap,

A blinding light filled the entire room.
