The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 868 - 866: Leave the Body Intact
Ning Zesheng didn’t know what to say for a moment. After a while, he finally spoke, "Senior, at least give me some face and let me take him back now, alright? It’s too embarrassing, how is our Ning Family supposed to face people?"
Ning Zeyan was killed by the joint forces of Lu Beichen and Zhu Yiming, and the Ning Family simply didn’t have the ability to avenge him. Yet, the Ning Family was one of the Five Major Families, and it was disgraceful that Ning Zeyan, the eldest son, was treated so poorly by them.
Lu Beichen nodded, "Considering you’ve helped me wholeheartedly for so many years, go to Zhu Yiming and take the body away!" He added, slightly cautioning, "Ning Zesheng, you are well aware of the current situation. Although Tong Ji Yuan is quite capable now, he is insignificant compared to the Chief. The Chief merely showed leniency because he is a nephew; otherwise, if it comes to a real confrontation, Tong Ji Yuan wouldn’t even stand a chance!"
"I know!" Ning Zesheng responded coolly, "I’ve always had a different stance than Ning Zeyan. He siding with Tong Ji Yuan almost brought disaster to the entire Ning Family. For this reason alone, he deserves to die. I’ll go and collect his remains first. The position of CEO at YT Entertainment is something I’ll return to you eventually; find someone suitable to hand it over to me."
"Alright!" Lu Beichen reached out to him, "I believe without Ning Zeyan, the Ning Family and Lu Family will live in peace going forward."
Ning Zesheng held his hand back, "I hope you will continue to give the Ning Family a bit more leniency in the future, senior!"
After some polite exchanging of words, Ning Zesheng turned and went to find Zhu Yiming, who seemed to have been waiting for him for quite some time and directly led him toward the morgue.
Ning Zeyan was indeed already dead, but Ning Zesheng couldn’t imagine what Zhu Yiming had done to him.
The staff followed instructions to drag Ning Zeyan’s corpse out, and Ning Zesheng instinctively turned his head away. Zhu Yiming patted his shoulder, "Don’t worry, I will leave him with an intact body!"
Only then did Ning Zesheng turn back and see Ning Zeyan indeed lying there perfectly intact, with just slight wounds visible on his hands and feet. His peaceful appearance did make Ning Zesheng’s heart calm down a bit.
This half-brother, just like his mother, never really looked at him directly and even secretly ostracized him. Now that he was gone, Ning Zesheng didn’t know what to feel. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Doctor Zhu?" Ning Zesheng was somewhat surprised. Zhu Yiming was a medical genius, also an eccentric. Lu Beichen handed him over, how could he still be intact?
"Don’t be so shocked! Even though Beichen wanted to chop him into pieces, and I did too, he is, after all, the eldest son of the Ning Family. If it looked too bad, your Ning Family wouldn’t be able to swallow it, and who knows what you’d do in desperation! Beichen is currently irritable, and I naturally have to bear more for him. Ning Zeyan did so many evil deeds and deserved this kind of retribution. If the Ning Family has any dissatisfaction, you can only seek revenge against me and Beichen!"
His words implied that he had committed such a wrongdoing, but left him with an intact body, so the Ning Family should stop here. If anything were to happen, it would mean going against the Lu Family and Zhu Family, plus the Gu Family and Tong Family, which would mean going against all the major families!
Ning Zesheng was very clear about this layer of relationships, as was his father Ning Zhihang!
"Thank you, Doctor Zhu!" Ning Zesheng consistently remained indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about these matters.
Zhu Yiming understood him well enough to just pat his shoulder, "Your days in the Ning Family will be harder moving forward; take good care of yourself!"
Indeed, without Ning Zeyan, Mrs. Ning surely wouldn’t let this go easily, and Ning Zesheng would become the one bearing all the pressure in between, being Ning Zhihang’s sole successor and also having to consider the fate of the entire Ning Family!
