Chapter 47: I’m Going to Hit You

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: I’m Going to Hit You

The Ning Mansion, which had been a picture of harmony,

was suddenly disrupted by noisy voices.

Leading the pack was none other than Ning Bingcai, the second son of the Ning Family,

and the father of Ning Changfeng.

"What’s all the noise about in the middle of the night?"

Seeing Ning Bingcai burst in with a whole group of people,

Ning Zhenyue said with a stern face.

Having been thrown out of the family, he hadn’t come to see him for several years.

This sudden visit was indeed a rare occurrence.

"Dad, look, look who it is!"

Ning Bingcai glared angrily at Lin Fan and Ning Mengyao in front of the dining table,

then turned around.

Only then did everyone see a person behind him, wrapped up like a zongzi, being wheeled in.

He looked like a mummy that had been run over by a car and then reassembled.

Both hands and feet were in casts.

Only a pair of eyes was exposed.

"This is..."

Ning Zhenyue hesitated as he looked at those eyes.

Wrapped up like that, it was impossible to recognize anyone.

"Grandpa... I am... Chang Feng... I’ve come back to see you."

The mummy struggled to speak, and it was actually Ning Changfeng’s voice.

"You..."

Upon learning it was Ning Changfeng, Ning Zhenyue’s face instantly turned ashen.

But after pointing at him, he didn’t speak in the end.

After all, in his current state, he hardly had half a life left.

"What on earth is going on here?"

"You should ask your precious granddaughter that!"

Ning Bingcai angrily glared at Ning Mengyao.

"Meng Yao... what’s this all about?"

Ning Zhenyue turned his head, puzzled.

He hadn’t expected this matter to be related to Ning Mengyao.

Moreover, she hadn’t said anything when she’d just come back.

"Rather than asking me, you should ask what he’s been up to? He went to the company, called a meeting with all the executives, and after I got back, he even threatened me with words, and gathered his men to disrupt the company’s order. It serves him right to end up like this."

Ning Mengyao said with a cold face.

She hadn’t wanted to worry her grandfather.

But since the other party had taken the initiative to accuse her first, she could only play along.

"I... I was just catching up with... old friends... not holding a meeting... I know I’ve done many wrongs in recent years... Now I’m back... just to make amends... But my sister insulted me over and over... I lost my temper in anger... Who knew she’d instigate people to beat me up like this... I almost didn’t make it back alive."

Ning Changfeng immediately looked tearful and sobbed as he spoke.

"Isn’t it normal to get a beating for messing around?"

Lin Fan sat with one leg crossed over the other, a smirk on his face.

This guy was trying another self-harm trick.

"Bullshit, who are you to speak here? You think you’re tough, don’t you? Come on, if you dare, beat me to death too!"

Ning Bingcai glared at Lin Fan with eyes spitting fire.

He was the mastermind behind injuring his son.

"It’s not that it can’t be done if you’re really looking for death."

Lin Fan stood his ground, locking eyes with Ning Bingcai.

"Dad... do you see... this is the grandson-in-law you chose... Chang Feng made a mistake, but that’s no reason to beat him to death. Putting aside the facts for now, Chang Feng still has the Ning Family’s blood flowing through his veins. He’s only just arrived at the Ning Family and you want to beat us to death? He’s clearly trying to swallow our property whole... Dad, you can’t just stand by and do nothing!"

Immediately, Ning Bingcai turned his head to look at Ning Zhenyue.

"This..."

Ning Zhenyue’s face was grave as he slowly sat down in his chair.

Knowing Ning Changfeng had been beaten to such a state, he was aware this matter would not be easy to settle.

After all, one was his second son, and the other was his eldest grandson.

Blood is thicker than water, and even he found it hard to sever such familial ties.

"Grandfather, don’t listen to their nonsense. What he did wasn’t a foolish mistake—it was an attempt on my life. I didn’t want to bring it up, but since he had the gall to come here, let’s lay it all on the table. Your so-called underground brokers are nothing but his devious schemes—that’s a trap he and Tian Qi set up. They even tried to kidnap me for photographs. If it weren’t for Lin Fan risking his life to protect me, I would have been thrown to the wolves!"

Ning Mengyao seized the moment as she saw her grandfather waver, standing up as she spoke.

At times like this, she had to shield Lin Fan.

"What?"

Ning Zhenyue was taken aback as he looked at his granddaughter.

He had never imagined that he, too, had been tricked by Ning Changfeng.

"Don’t spout nonsense... what evidence do you have... I don’t even know any Tian Qi or goji berries, you’re making baseless accusations... I had no idea about any of this!"

Naturally, Ning Changfeng staunchly denied everything.

Considering Tian Qi was still in the hospital, unconscious.

Even without physical evidence and only eyewitness accounts, he wouldn’t admit to any wrongdoing.

"Dad, did you hear that? She’s seizing this opportunity to frame me. I know Chang Feng caused disaster years ago, indirectly leading to the death of my elder brother, but it was not intentional. Moreover, he’s been exiled from our home for so many years. Hasn’t he suffered enough? Hasn’t he paid for his sins? He came back intending to visit you, yet this vicious woman is trying to take his life. Her heart is truly malevolent. If she isn’t severely punished today, I... I will lay down my life right here..."

Ning Bingcai glared at Ning Mengyao, his face purpling with rage.

Today, he was determined to force Ning Zhenyue to severely punish her.

"Yes, my son is now in such a state... Dad, if you don’t take care of this, I will smash my head open right here!"

Ning Bingcai’s wife was also crying pitifully.

The other granddaughters and grandsons were quietly sobbing.

"You really know how to twist the truth. You’re even dismissing the facts. Have you no shame? If you disregard the facts, why even bother talking nonsense here? And you speak of enduring hardships and atoning for sins; perhaps you should ask him about the misdeeds he’s committed over the years?"

Lin Fan’s face was icy as he slowly stood up.

The shamelessness of this family had truly set a new low.

"You’re being completely unreasonable!"

Ning Bingcai, his eyes bloodshot with anger, bellowed.

He then turned his head to look at Ning Zhenyue, who was at a loss.

"Dad, he’s crippled Chang Feng. The doctor said he might have to sit in a wheelchair for life. He’s ruined my son. My grudge against him is irreconcilable. Today, it’s either him or me. Make your choice!"

"This..."

Ning Zhenyue, unable to make a decision, looked heavily upon everything around him.

Feeling caught between a rock and a hard place, he went through an agonizing dilemma.

"Grandfather, you don’t need to struggle with this. It was I who told Lin Fan to do it. This is my responsibility. Whatever they want to do, let them come at me."

Ning Mengyao looked at her grandfather with eyes full of distressed empathy.

She understood the pain her grandfather felt.

"Fine...since you’re taking responsibility, then the solution is simple. Relinquish your CEO position and return it to Chang Feng. We’ll consider this matter settled, or else, even if I have to take it to the Elder Council of the Ning Family, I won’t let this go!"

Ning Bingcai snorted coldly.

The Ning Family was a large clan, under which there was an Elder Council.

Even the revocation of Ning Changfeng’s family status had been done through a formal ceremony by Ning Zhenyue.

"I have an even better idea!"

Lin Fan pulled Ning Mengyao, who was about to speak, behind him.

A cold gleam flickered in his eyes.
