C305 Loyalty

"My father's death must have been caused by an inside story. He definitely did not die from an illness!"

Ning Yi pondered for a moment and then said seriously.

"What?" I knew it. Master Ning was perfectly fine, how could he have suddenly died from illness? "

"That's right!" Master Ning must have been killed by those sinister villains! "

"From what I see, it's most likely done by Ning Yuan's branch! They are definitely not good people! "

"..."

Hearing this, all the elders present. The crowd burst into an uproar. They immediately figured out the gist of it and pointed their fingers at Ning Yuan.

Actually, even without Ning Yi saying anything, they had already suspected that something was amiss.

These elders had all been separated by a great distance when they went to old man Ning's funeral. They hadn't even seen old man Ning's face.

Furthermore, after the passing of old man Ning, Ning Yuan had relied on Ning Yi's absence and no one to be in charge. He immediately acted on his own authority and claimed that he would send old man Ning to the crematorium, burning it clean as if he was destroying evidence.

"That's right, everyone is right. Although there is no direct evidence, Ning Yuan is the most suspicious one!"

"They were very likely worried that my relationship with old man Ning would improve and that I would eventually return to Ning Family, causing them to be unable to part with their family property. Thus, they desperately jumped walls and used some sort of method to kill old man Ning!"

Ning Yi recounted Steward Ning's words once again.

"What Eldest Young Master said makes sense!"

"Just a while ago, when Eldest Young Master took over East China Region, Ning Yuan's faction was trying to interfere and even secretly contacted us to secretly threaten us to reject Eldest Young Master from taking over!"

"That's right, that's right. I received a threat too!"

"Me too..."

The moment he said that, everyone immediately started chattering. On one hand, they were counting Ning Yuan's crimes, and on the other hand, they were showing their loyalty to Wu Tie.

"Now, Ning Yuan has taken over the entire Ning Family and is in the limelight. If everyone wants to protect themselves in a wise way, or if you want to seek a higher position, then I won't blame you."

After a pause, Ning Yi spoke again. He was about to get down to business, this would be the last round of screening.

"Eldest Young Master, what are you talking about!"

"Back then, if it wasn't for Master Ning's help, I'd probably have frozen to death under the bridge long ago. Where did you come from today?"

"Now, if Eldest Young Master is in trouble, how can we turn around and leave and be ungrateful?"

Hearing this, an old man with glasses suddenly stood up, his face flushed, and he shouted excitedly.

"Old Liu is right!" "At that time, I was also a poor kid. There were more than a dozen of us in the family and we didn't even have a place to live, waiting for me to earn some money to feed them. If it wasn't for Master Ning's help, our entire family would have surely starved to death!"

Another old man who was leaning on a cane stood up slowly, his face full of respect and gratitude.

"Back then, the bankruptcy of our company was also thanks to Lord Ning's relief!"

"If not for Master Ning, I'd probably still be begging for food on the streets!"

"..."

When everyone heard Ning Yi's words, they were all excited and started to talk about the bitterness, pain, and spiciness from that year.

"I vow to follow Eldest Young Master!"

As they spoke, everyone gradually changed the topic of conversation. It was unknown who shouted the first line, but after that, waves of roars rang out in succession.

These elderly men who were already over a hundred years old were like a hot-blooded teenager from back then. They had returned to the days when they were together with old man Ning. Their roars were filled with energy, causing the walls to ring.

"Alright, alright. Thanks to everyone for thinking highly of me. I, Ning Yi, thank you!"

Ning Yi was touched by this scene. His eyes were a bit red. He stood up and bowed deeply towards the crowd.

The group of old men concealed a burning heart and boiling blood beneath their aging appearance.

"Eldest Young Master!" This is too much! "

An old man saw Ning Yi bowing to them and was moved to tears, quickly bending his waist.

"Everyone, take a seat, take a seat!"

Seeing them, Ning Yi quickly straightened up and sat back on his chair.

He knew that this group of old-fashioned and respectable old men viewed the rules of respecting people very seriously. As long as he stood, this group of people would not sit.

Seeing that Ning Yi had already sat down, the group of elders all sat back down on their chairs. They waited for Ning Yi to continue talking with anticipation on their faces.

"Seeing everyone's fighting spirit soar, my heart is moved. However, at this moment, I have no choice but to pour a bucket of cold water for everyone."

Ning Yi sighed. He frowned and said helplessly:

"Right now, Ning Yuan has taken over the entire power and business of Ning Family, including the connections and influence, as well as the strength of Ning Family, so everyone should be very clear on what kind of power we have.

"Ai!"

"Eldest Young Master, we understand!"

Hearing those words, the elders on the seats all had bitter expressions and shook their heads helplessly. To be able to sit in that position, there was no one with a simple mind. They all knew that at that very instant, Ning Yi's decision was the correct one.

"This matter is really depressing!"

Although he clearly knew that Ning Yi's decision was absolutely correct, the grumpy Tang suit wearing old man was still angry to the point of smacking the table and complaining loudly.

In fact, it wasn't the fault of the Tang suit wearing old man to grumble, this matter was indeed a bit too stifling. Ning Yuan had caused the death of old man Ning, but he had even directly seized and transformed Ning Family, becoming its head.

Ning Yi's side, on the other hand, was a true orthodox faction. They were like mice crossing the street, cowering in fear and could only endure in seclusion.

This was equivalent to someone using your family's weapons to beat you, but you weren't even able to retaliate.

"Old Xiong, that's enough. Stop blabbering and just show that you can talk?"

At this time, the old man with the surname Zheng spoke again.

"Old ghost Zheng, what do you mean?" It's fine if you want to go against me, but you're still looking for trouble with me! "

When the old man heard these words, he was already full of anger, but now, it was adding oil to the fire, making him even more infuriated.

"You are simply unreasonable."

"Explain yourself to me!"

The two of them exchanged words, and soon, they were about to start arguing again.1

"Enough, enough, it's fine. You're already so old, why are you still arguing? Aren't you afraid of losing face!"

At this moment, another slightly plump old man stood up and became the peacemaker.

"Eldest Young Master, you don't need to be offended. These two old fellows have been fighting for over ten years already because of a small matter."

The slightly fat old man turned his head and explained awkwardly to Ning Yi.
