CHAPTER 989: CHAPTER 990: THE FOURTH YOUNG MASTER’S TEMPTATION

Ning Ge returned home absent-mindedly, with laughter echoing throughout the house, giving off an air of harmony and happiness.

As he stepped in, someone called out to him, "Fourth one is back!"

Ning Ge looked up, a carefree smile on his face: "Third sister, you’re back."

"Where have you been wandering? I heard you’ve been in the Capital lately, but sister-in-law said you haven’t been home much." Ning Zhen walked over to him, handing the child in her arms to him: "Here, hold your nephew."

Ning Ge’s arms sagged, and he quickly held onto the bundle tightly, exclaiming, "Third sister, what kind of mom are you? What if I didn’t catch him and he fell?"

"I trust you won’t drop this little rascal!" Ning Zhen patted his shoulder.

Ning Ge gave her a sideways glance.

This third sister had gotten married last year, quickly had a child, and now, even though the baby is two months old, she was still so carefree. Female officers are really something.

"You better hold him yourself. If he falls, he might not hold on." Ning Gang snorted.

"Come here, let me hold him!" Sister-in-law laughed as she walked over, taking the bundle from Ning Ge’s hands while cooing tenderly.

Ning Ge glanced at his elder brother, who was sitting on the sofa, a newspaper in his hands, his demeanor much softer than when he was in the military, yet still retaining a sense of authority.

This kind of big brother, no matter how you look at him, doesn’t seem like a ruthless person. What could have made him give the order to raze the Secret Division? He didn’t even hesitate to annihilate all life.

Thinking about those comrades, a dull ache throbbed in Ning Ge’s heart, and his hand hanging by his side clenched tightly.

Ning Gang wasn’t clueless. When Ning Ge stared at him blankly, he immediately sensed it and shifted his gaze from the newspaper to him: "What are you daydreaming about? Why are you staring at me? Did you cause trouble outside again?"

As soon as he said this, everyone stopped talking, and all eyes turned to Ning Ge.

Ning Ge laughed, pretending to be bold, saying: "What trouble could I get into? I’m honestly doing business now! How could there be trouble!"

Ning Gang sneered, asking: "Don’t play dumb, how come I heard that you’ve been associating with Jiang Conghe’s eldest son, Jiang Dafang?"

Ning Ge’s heart skipped a beat, acting surprised: "Big brother, you’re amazing; you even know about this?"

The meetings between him and Jiang Dafang were quite secretive, yet his big brother even knew about this. What else didn’t he know?

"Tell me, what’s going on between you two?" Ning Gang disregarded his feigned ignorance.

Ning Ge shrugged, saying: "It’s nothing. I just can’t stand Jiang Conghe and want to help you bring him down. As for Jiang Dafang, an enemy’s enemy is a friend. Seeing as he also wants to bring down Jiang Conghe, we just teamed up!"

Ning Gang frowned.

"So, the current chaos within the Chiang Family is your doing?" Ning Zhen raised an eyebrow and interjected.

Ning Gang looked at her.

Ning Zhen smiled and said: "I heard that Jiang Conghe wants to set up a room for Jiang Dafang at home and have him return to live there! Lu Shufen causes a ruckus every day; the Chiang Family is quite lively now."

"Elder sister, your news is quite something too." Ning Ge chuckled and said, "The Jiang and Lu families complement each other, and Jiang Dafang is the one disrupting the balance. Having him act as Lu Shufen’s adversary is perfect."

"Impressive! You’re meddling in the intrigues of wealthy households now!" Ning Zhen poked his forehead, "When will you find me a sister-in-law? Only then will I say you’ve really achieved something!"

"Exactly! I’ll find someone for you later." Sister-in-law chimed in.

"No, this is an open conspiracy, not a hidden one!" Ning Ge grinned cheekily to brush it off. In a place where they couldn’t see, he glanced at his big brother again, his heart filled with doubts, and then smiled again.
