Chapter 361 Chapter 363 Dormant
"There is no news from the Qinglong team." Ning Zhici shook his head.
"Don't execute the captured spy for now. Use him as bait and see if you can catch a big fish. At the very least, we should eliminate more spies. The Red List headquarters should also conduct a strict investigation." Grandpa Ning said seriously.
"Yes, father." Ning Zhici replied respectfully.
"Father, the red list still needs to be checked for the time being. Do we need to mobilize the power of Ci Yu Tang and the Fighting Department to teach that kid a lesson?" Ning Zhici asked tentatively.
These two major forces are still in the hands of his father, and he has no right to mobilize them.
"Boss, dealing with your own young people, whether it is cleaning up the family or killing each other, will not give you a good reputation if it gets out. There are plenty of desperate criminals and adventurers in the capital now, you can use those mercenary teams that are ranked higher, you can drive them with some money or resources, why bother mobilizing your own forces? This way, if the action fails, it's just a waste of some money, and it won't give people a chance to talk, and affect your reputation." Old Man Ning patiently advised.
"Well, but how can outsiders be as reliable as our own forces? Now there are all kinds of forces in the capital, and there are good and bad ones. What if those people we find take the money but don't do the job, or they turn to that little bastard and deceive us, wouldn't we be wasting our money in vain?" Ning Zhici retorted hesitantly.
"Boss, in your heart, has our Ning family fallen to this point? Those mercenaries are not hesitant to offend our Ning family and go to seek refuge with a penniless junior, or do you think that our Ning family's reputation and lives are not as important as those money?" Old Master Ning's face turned cold.
Ning Zhici shook his head quickly.
"A harmonious family is the foundation of everything. Even if there is discord, it must be kept secret. Otherwise, how can we say that family disgrace should not be made public? The military did not act right in today's incident. Qingyun's behavior is not good for his personal reputation. On the contrary, although we have been made a fool of ourselves, we are the ones who are sympathized with in public opinion."
"We should tell the outside world that Qingyun was wronged at home when he was a child, which led to his extreme behavior now. We don't blame him, but still hope that he can return to the family. The door of the family is always open to him, and we can't conflict with him in public. In short, we have to create an image of a victim in the outside world. In this way, Ning Qingyun will only be a rebellious son who betrayed the family. Do you understand?"
Mr. Ning warned.
"Son, I understand. It is to occupy the moral high ground and nail him to the pillar of shame for betraying his relatives and clan. Father, this is a great idea!" Ning Zhici looked at his father with great admiration and said.
After Ning Zhici left, someone pushed the door open and walked out from the inner room, walking to where Ning Zhici had just stood.
"Brother, with Qingyun's personality, is there any possibility of turning back? It seems that you are disappointed with the father and son who gave the speech?" The man who came out from the interior decoration was Ning Qisu, the younger brother of Grandpa Ning, who was a dozen years younger than him.
"Qingjun doesn't have the aptitude for cultivation. Now it seems that he lacks courage and boldness. I used to look down on Qingyun's background, but in today's world, background is not important. The most important thing is to be able to intimidate the enemy and bring benefits to the family." Old Man Ning said thoughtfully.
"But now Qingyun and the family have come to this point, and Zhici has been in charge of family affairs for so many years. He has considerable influence in the family. I'm afraid..." Ning Qisu said with a frown.
"It's not as bad as you think. I have also learned in detail about what Qingyun encountered in the family when he was a child. It was mainly the neglect of servants and discrimination and humiliation from other children, which were mainly led and instigated by Qingjun and Qingsong. Those things may cause great psychological trauma to children, but they are nothing in the adult world. What really made him so determined was the fact that Qingjun and others poisoned Qingyun and prevented him from returning to Chongzhou and forced him to enter the secret realm. The latter matter was always handled by Ying Cai'e, so the grudge can only be held against her. As for the former matter, they are all the blood of the Ning family. As long as it is beneficial to the family, it is not impossible to make a choice." Old Master Ning said with a frown.
"What did you just say in the speech..." Ning Qisu frowned in confusion.
"After all, they are all family members. Let's first see the outcome of the battle between Qingyun and the boss, and see who is the whetstone and who is the hope for the family's future?" Old Master Ning sighed.
"Brother, if Qingyun wins, but he is unwilling to return to the family, wouldn't we suffer a heavy loss!" Ning Qisu disagreed with the old man's approach.
"Qi Su, the story of returning home in glory and walking at night in brocade clothes tells us that people who have not lived a good life, if they live a good life one day, will definitely want to return to their hometown to show off. If Qingyun has the opportunity to take charge of the family, won't he trample all those who once discriminated against and bullied him under his feet?" Old Master Ning smiled slightly.
"Brother, human hearts are the hardest to guess. After all, we are not him and have not experienced what he has experienced. How can we be sure what he is thinking?" Ning Qisu was worried. In fact, he felt that Ning Qingyun clearly wanted to draw a line between himself and the family today. Either they would not disturb each other from now on, or they would use thundering means to eliminate the trouble once and for all.
"Qisu, it seems that you are not optimistic about the eldest brother. After all, he has been in charge of the family for so many years. If he can't even deal with a junior with shallow roots! It only means that he is not suitable to be the head of the family." Old Master Ning said with a stern face.
Another courtyard in the Beijing Safety Zone.
"Boss, how do you feel?" Chai Ming asked cautiously. Ning Qingyun had countless wounds of varying sizes on his body. He used up three boxes of medicine to treat all the wounds.
When he saw the injuries on Ning Qingyun's body just now, Huo Ye slapped himself twice in self-blame.
"It's okay, they are just superficial injuries, don't worry." Ning Qingyun got up and put on his clothes.
"Boss, Mingyan from the intelligence team is here and is waiting in the conference room." A subordinate came to report.
"Let's go and see if there is any new news?" Ning Qingyun walked in front anxiously.
"Boss, I haven't heard from Chang Qing for more than ten days. I suspect something might have happened to him." Mingyan came close to Ning Qingyun and said with some concern.
Ning Qingyun frowned. "Where were they when we last heard from them? What are their plans for the next step?"
"They had just left the Wuling Safety Zone, and the next safety zone the large army was going to pass through for rest and repair was the Jindu Safety Zone." Mingyan said.
"Pass the order, everyone on the red list should stop their work immediately, lie low, and ensure their own safety." Ning Qingyun ordered Mingyan.
Qingjun, the word "jun" is a polyphonic character, also pronounced as "yun".
So that was changed to Qingjun.
