Late at night, only the Ning family's old house was busy.
Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, helped to call the emergency doctor.
Ning Chengxu was covered in blood and looked seriously injured, but after all, it was a cane beating, which only damaged the skin and flesh, not the muscles, bones, and internal organs.
The doctor used saline to clean up all the blood stains in an orderly manner, then applied medicine, bandaged serious wounds, and stuffed anti-inflammatory lozenges into his mouth while he was half-awake.
Although he was unconscious, he never said anything detrimental to his situation.
After giving the medicine, the doctor left.
Jing Jingxuan sat on his bedside and cried, complaining in a low voice: "Fourth brother, you just came back, why do you do this kind of thing? Did you really risk your life for Sister Sheng?"
Although she didn't know exactly what was going on, Shengge had told her about the situation on the top floor before, and she probably guessed why Ning Chengxu wanted to steal Uncle Fu's key.
Ning Chengxu lay motionless on the bed in pain. He half-closed his phoenix eyes weakly and looked sideways at the solid-colored curtains. He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
He did take the risk to do this for Lu Shengge.
But, it's not entirely for her, he has selfish motives.
When he came back this time, he had something new he wanted to try.
Jing Jingxuan saw him lost in thought and continued to cry.
Recently, too many things have happened, and Ning Chengen is also in a state of uncertainty. She cries more often than in the past few years.
"Jingxuan, you go back and rest, I'm fine." Ning Chengxu's face turned pale and he closed his eyes tiredly.
"Well, fourth brother, you go to bed early. Second brother, I will find a way to help you plead for mercy."
After saying these words worriedly, Ning Jingxuan left his bedroom three times in one step.
His body ached and his whole body was exhausted. Ning Chengxu fell asleep in a daze.
A few hours later, at dawn, he was woken up by his bodyguard.
"Fourth Young Master, it's time for you to get up. My grace invites you to go to the garden."
Ning Chengxu had a splitting headache and opened his eyes drowsily. His whole body was too weak to get up.
There was sarcasm on his lips.
He finally got through last night's test.
And today's new torture and torture has just begun.
The two bodyguards saw that he was obviously awake but had no intention of getting up, so they stepped forward directly, lifted him up one on the left and the other on the right, and helped him downstairs while he was still wearing pajamas.
There is an injury on my lower back, and it hurts every time I take a step, which is very painful.
His room was simply on the second floor, so he went downstairs quickly.
The bodyguard took him all the way to the cobblestone path in the garden, and pushed him to his knees directly on the ground.
The uneven pebbles hit my knees, causing a burst of pain.
Ning Chengxu unconsciously bent over and fell to the ground, but was forcibly lifted up by the bodyguards.
Bodyguard: "Fourth Young Master, I said that as long as you admit your mistake and explain where the stolen things were hidden, you can get up immediately."
"I didn't take it."
He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and tried to straighten his waist. Under the supervision of two bodyguards, he knelt straight.

Two hours later, Ning Jingxuan got up. The first thing she did after changing her clothes was to go to Ning Chengxu's room to check on his condition.
However, the door to Ning Chengxu's room was open and empty, and the bed was already cold.
She grabbed the servant passing by in the aisle and asked hurriedly: "Where is my fourth brother? Where has he gone?"
"The fourth young master seems to be in the garden."
Ning Jingxuan immediately ran downstairs. As soon as she walked out of the villa, she saw Ning Chengxu in the garden, who was pale and kneeling precariously.
Her eyes turned red almost instantly, and she turned around to go to Ning Chengen to plead for mercy, but was stopped by the housekeeper, Uncle Fu.
"Miss Qi, it's useless for you to find me. You've lost your keys and things from the attic. This is no small matter. I won't let you go until you catch someone."
