Ning Chengxu put his hands on the ground. Even though his vision was dim, he still saw the bodyguard next to him holding a cane, and his body shuddered almost instinctively.
"Second brother, even if you... really beat me to death, it's impossible for me to admit the things I haven't done."
"I would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go."
Ning Chengen sneered, took out a sharp dagger from his waist, and threw it towards Ning Chengxu. His tone was cold, "Since you insist on refusing to say anything, then you must die to prove your innocence. As long as you are willing to do it, I will believe it."
You are wronged."
Ning Chengxu's weak blue phoenix eyes looked at the dagger, slowly picked it up and held the handle tightly.
"No! Second brother, I beg you to let fourth brother go. He is so injured and has not changed his mind yet. I believe he must be unjust!"
Ning Jingxuan rushed to hug Ning Chengxu, tears bursting from her face, to stop him from committing suicide with a dagger.
Ning Chengen snorted disdainfully, "You don't know him well. He came out of the training camp of the Secret Investigation Service. His bones are very hard and you can't easily knock his mouth open. How can we not be more ruthless?"
"No, second brother, fourth brother has an extreme personality. If he didn't do it, he would really die to express his ambition. I don't want him to die. We are blood relatives. Even if fourth brother and we are not born to the same mother, they are still members of the Ning family.
Bone and blood, please don’t be so cruel to him..."
She cried very sadly, and she was even more shocked when she saw the injuries on Ning Chengxu's back from a close distance.
Seeing that someone might be killed, the butler Uncle Fu quickly stood up and said, "Master, please spare the fourth young master. This incident may be a coincidence..."
"coincide?"
Ning Chengen narrowed his eyes sharply, "You always keep the key to the attic carefully. Unless it was lost due to your negligence, it can only be stolen by Ning Chengxu."
"this......"
Uncle Fu was in a bit of trouble. If he admitted that it was his negligence that caused the key to be lost, then Ning Chengen's anger would definitely be brought to him.
He is already so old, he really can't afford it.
Ning Chengen turned his attention back to Ning Chengxu, who was lying on the ground. Ning Jingxuan hugged him tightly and stopped the bodyguard from trying to beat him with the cane, crying until she burst into tears.
"Ning Chengxu, as long as you hand over the keys and the stolen medicine, I will spare you this time."
Ning Jingxuan also said: "Fourth brother, if you really took it, hand it over, otherwise second brother will really beat you to death today!"
Ning Chengxu smiled miserably on his pale lips. Due to the severe pain, cold sweat kept dripping down his chin, leaving a small puddle of water on the floor.
How could he possibly get something that was no longer in his hands?
Moreover, if he really admits his crime, he will definitely die.
"I didn't. I didn't steal the key or take the medicine. My second brother personally searched my body and my room. If it's not there, it's not there. Where can I find it for you out of thin air?"
He threw the dagger in his hand to the feet of the bodyguard holding the cane, and smiled miserably.
"People's prejudices are really terrible. No matter what I say, my second brother still doesn't believe me. So let me have someone kill me with one knife. Why torture me like this and hurt my family ties."
"Do you have any affection for me?"
Ning Chengen sneered lightly.
He really didn't believe it. He didn't believe any of Ning Chengxu's negative words.
He only believed in his own analysis and speculation, but after he beat the person, his inner anger dissipated a lot, and now he is much more rational.
"Okay, after all, I just announced your return to the Ning family. If anything happens at this juncture, I will spare your life this time. If I find evidence later that proves your crime, I will make your life miserable.
die!"
He gritted his teeth sadly, snorted coldly after saying the cruel words, and left the ancestral hall without looking back.
As soon as Ning Chengen left, it meant that he had barely passed the cross-examination tonight.
Ning Chengxu endured the pain and breathed a sigh of relief, relaxing his tense spirit.
His vision became increasingly blurry, and his whole body fell into darkness, and he fell into Ning Jingxuan's arms.
"Fourth brother! Come here, fourth brother has fainted. Go get a doctor!"
