Ning Ze came to see Ning Xiaoren with a bandage wrapped around his forehead, and his attitude was very respectful.

Ning Xiaoren snorted in his heart, knowing that Ning Ze could completely heal the wound on his forehead, but he deliberately kept it to show his sympathy. He was expressing his grievances and reminding himself that he had made contributions and worked hard.

"Ning Ze, come and sit down." A gentle smile appeared on Ning Xiaoren's face again.

Ning Ze sat down very straightforwardly: "I am really confused. It was you, Young Clan Leader, who gave the order personally. But why did you suddenly..."

Ning Xiaoren raised his hand to stop Ning Ze from continuing: "I will just explain one thing. The inventor of the Mechanical Fire Monkey was actually Ning Zhuo!"

Ning Ze was stunned after hearing this, thinking he was hallucinating: "W-what?"

Ning Xiaoren stopped explaining and leaned back in his chair, picked up the teacup and sipped the tea slowly.

Ning Ze reacted completely and stood up in shock, unable to sit still. He stared with his eyes wide open, whispering, "Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu is actually the creator of the Mechanical Fire Monkey?!"

Ning Xiaoren just looked up at him and never said anything.

Ning Ze opened his mouth wide and his eyes were blank. He was absent-minded for a moment before he focused again.

"No wonder, no wonder he has such a huge sum of money."

"But, but according to what he said, this matter involves a Jindan cultivator..."

Ning Xiaoren put down the cup and sighed, "It was Fei Si. Fei Si wanted to take credit for the work and presented the Mechanical Explosive Monkey to the City Lord. Chen Cha was his subordinate, not Ning Zhuo. So, Chen Cha secretly forced Ning Zhuo to take away his honor."

"This matter is still under investigation, but it's almost certain."

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is." Ning Ze let out a breath of turbid air as if relieved of a heavy burden, revealing a guilty look, "I was wrong about him."

"But that was the only thing I could do under the circumstances."

"I must give an explanation to the family, especially to you, the Young Clan Leader."

Ning Xiaoren smiled: "I know, I know. Come, sit down."

Ning Ze sat down again.

Ning Xiaoren continued, "I know you are loyal, and you gave me an explanation. But now, how can I give Ning Zhuo an explanation?"

"Ah?" Ning Ze was puzzled.

"Look, this is the situation now." Ning Xiaoren stood up, slowly walked around the desk and went to the front.

"Ning Zhuo has reached the third level of Qi Refining. The Five Elements Qi Law is particularly suitable for him. He can also create the Mechanical Fire Monkey, so he must be the main force of our tribe in exploring the Lava Fairy Palace!"

"My clan will use him, use him greatly, and use him with great importance!"

"He is a rare mechanical seed of our tribe."

"But now, he feels wronged and there is a gap in his heart. He is no longer close to my clan."

"If you were him and encountered what happened today, what would you think?"

Having said that, Ning Xiaoren walked in front of Ning Ze.

Ning Ze stood up quickly. He had a bad feeling in his heart and said, "If I were Ning Zhuo, what would it matter if I was investigated? This is not an injustice at all. On the contrary, I have the opportunity to prove my innocence. I will be very grateful to the family for giving me this opportunity!"

"I am a member of the Ning family. I am loyal to the family and should make contributions and sacrifices for the family."

“Hahaha.” Ning Xiaoren pointed at Ning Ze and nodded, “You are very conscious, Ning Ze, you are very good.”

"I didn't see you wrongly!"

Ning Ze quickly expressed his modesty.

Ning Xiaoren changed the subject: "But Ning Zhuo is not you. He is only sixteen years old. What can he understand? How much of his awareness can be the same as yours?"

Ning Ze: "Yes, I will teach him well and lead him onto the right path in the future!"

Ning Xiaoren nodded: "This is a matter for the future."

"Now, Xiaozhu is hurt. As elders, we should take better care of him, smooth out the pain in his heart, heal the wounds in his heart, and let him grow up happily and practice happily, right?"

The more Ning Ze listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

Ning Xiaoren added: "As an elder, you should have a spirit of sacrifice. Ning Ze, do you have such awareness?"

Ning Ze was pressured by Ning Xiaoren in person and had no choice but to ask for advice.

Ning Xiaoren then sent him a message and told him his plan.

Ning Ze was horrified and waved his hands quickly: "Sir, how can you do this? Where do you think I should be?"

It turns out that Ning Xiaoren's plan was to investigate Ning Ze next. Ning Ze was overwhelmed and revealed the "truth" - it turned out that Ning Xiaoren had been supporting Ning Zhuo for many years, providing a lot of spiritual stones and resources for the latter to practice. But Ning Ze embezzled from it and treated Ning Zhuo badly.

As a result, Ning Xiaoren, who cares about his family and is kind and generous, showed up in time to stop the incident. After investigation, he discovered the truth that had been covered up for more than ten years.

Ning Ze didn't want to take the blame for this! It was obviously Ning Xiaoren who was not righteous, did not remember the favor, treated Ning Zhuo badly, and did not care about it for more than ten years, but in the end, he was slandered.

This is so despicable and mean!

"Are you going to do it or not? Are you still my subordinate?" Ning Xiaoren glared and threatened directly.

"You dare not do it? Think about the consequences!"

"Think about your son, his name is Ning Ji, right? He is currently living a good life in the family business."

A biting chill enveloped Ning Ze's heart.

Looking at Ning Xiaoren with a stern voice, he suddenly realized: It turned out that he was appointed as the leader of the investigation team by Ning Xiaoren not because Ning Xiaoren wanted to rely on his relationship with Ning Zhuo to investigate the source of the huge sum of money.

"No, this damn guy Ning Xiaoren wants to covet Xiaozhu's money and frame me. He wants to step on my body, deceive Xiaozhu, and flatter Xiaozhu in order to win over Xiaozhu!"

After realizing the truth, Ning Ze became so angry that his face turned red, his fists were clenched, and he was breathing heavily.

Ning Xiaoren sneered disdainfully when he saw his attitude.

It was this gentle sneer, like polar ice water, that extinguished the fire of anger and hatred in Ning Ze's heart.

Ning Xiaoren is the young patriarch and his immediate superior, what can he do? It was Ning Ze who had brought Ning Zhuo up over the past decade, even though he had no intentions, but Ning Zhuo was indeed under his protection.

But now, Ning Xiaoren wants to win over Ning Zhuo and reap the benefits, so he frames and accuses Ning Ze to create a false impression and make up for his own mistake.

How insidious and despicable!

There is no way.

There is no way to blame him.

He could only swallow his anger and take responsibility for this mistake that was not his.

Because he was a subordinate, he had to make a living under Ning Xiaoren. Ning Xiaoren was the junior clan leader, second only to the head of the Ning family. Even if Ning Ze refused to obey, he would be forced to submit.

At this moment, Ning Ze suddenly thought of Ning Zhuo, whom he had forced not long ago.

"It turns out that the feeling of being forced by others and unable to resist is so painful." His heart was full of bitterness and despair.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that he deserved it.

"Young Clan Leader, it is true that I embezzled your secret funding and enriched myself. It's all my fault!" Ning Ze's voice became hoarse and his expression was extremely gloomy.

Ning Xiaoren then patted his shoulder and said, "I won't treat you unfairly."

"You will live in the family dungeon first."

"I'll notify your wife to come visit you in prison."

Ning Ze was stunned. He didn't expect it to happen so fast. He couldn't help but look up at Ning Xiaoren.

Ning Xiaoren's face was full of smiles, but his eyes were filled with coldness.

Ning Ze had no choice but to lower his head, and said in a very heavy tone: "Yes, I will obey your orders."

…

The head of the Ning family returned to the mansion with a smile on his face.

In this negotiation, he secured a lot of tangible benefits for the Ning family, and the gains were far beyond previous expectations.

Ning Xiaoren came to report and revealed everything about how he framed Ning Ze and tried to win over Ning Zhuo.

The Ning family leader stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "You handled it quite well."

"You must remember that Ning Zhuo is different now. At least now, the family has to rely on his strength. You should control your temper." The head of the Ning family was well aware of his son's greedy nature.

He just glanced at her quietly, and Ning Xiaoren was sweating profusely. He nodded quickly to indicate that he would never do that again.

"Father, these are the results of my emergency investigation." Ning Xiaoren then handed over a lot of information.

The biggest common point of many intelligences is that they are clumsy.

All this information is closely related to him.
