Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1139: Chapter 1140: The Ning Family Doesn’t Produce Cowards

In the study, the two brothers sat facing each other. Ning Ge wanted to reach for a cigarette, but realized he was in his pajamas.

Ning Gang, as if reading his mind, got up and took out a pack of cigarettes and matches from the desk drawer, handed him one, and lit one for himself too.

"Big brother, you’re hiding cigarettes, aren’t you afraid sister-in-law will find out?" Ning Ge said belatedly after taking the cigarette.

Ning Gang paused as he struck a match, but still lit it, saying, "I’ve had too many scares tonight; I need one to calm me down."

Ning Ge heard the sarcasm in his tone and couldn’t help but feel a bit sheepish. Seeing him bringing the flame over, he lit his cigarette.

"Go ahead, how did you end up joining the Special Service Organization? When did it start?" Ning Gang asked after taking a drag.

This kid must’ve hidden it deep; he managed to keep it from the family without showing a hint.

If I hadn’t come out late at night to get some water and seen the faint light in the study, I wouldn’t have discovered this secret.

Ning Ge coughed, realizing there was no point in hiding it anymore, and recounted honestly when he joined the organization.

"So, Pan Gongnian is your leader?" Ning Gang asked.

Ning Ge nodded.

"And you’ve been involved in these recent missions?" Ning Gang mentioned several tasks.

Ning Ge nodded again, feeling a bit uneasy inside.

A glimmer of admiration flashed in Ning Gang’s eyes as he said, "Not bad, the intelligence from these missions is very useful to our superiors."

Ning Ge exhaled, about to modestly say a few words, but Ning Gang spoke again.

"But just limit it to these few times. Later, tell Pan Gongnian you’re quitting the organization!"

Ning Ge’s face changed: "Why?"

"Xiao Si, spies live without identity. Even if they sacrifice themselves, they won’t be publicly acknowledged, just deeply buried in archives, sometimes without anything left. Take your former colleague as an example; when they died, their files were destroyed, and now they’re just considered missing persons. This kind of disappearance will remain missing forever," Ning Gang said. "I don’t want you to end up like that. If you’re willing, you can come out into the open, join National Security openly. People from the Ning Family aren’t cowards; they can stand proudly and openly."

Even as he said this, deep down Ning Gang felt a bit of joy and pride.

Previously, Ning Ge’s performance had always been mediocre, just like a spoiled playboy: harmless, achieving nothing, and in others’ eyes, just a disobedient brat.

But in fact, he had more accomplishments than anyone, truly living up to being a member of the Ning Family.

Since he has the skills and ability, why bury them? Better to come out openly and let everyone know the Ning Family doesn’t produce weaklings.

"Big brother, I don’t want to." Ning Ge thought for a moment and said, "I feel things are fine as they are now, and I like this identity."

Ning Gang’s face darkened: "What nonsense, who likes living like a shadow? Don’t worry, just quit, leave the rest to me, join the Party."

Ning Ge said, "Big brother, it’s not that I don’t want to join, but for now, at least, I don’t want to."

"Reason?"

"Big brother, the Ning Family is already thriving; there’s no need to showcase all the strength openly. Someone like me, who seems inconsequential but harmless, won’t attract attention, making actions more convenient," Ning Ge pressed his lips and said. "Later on, at least when you take the position of Director Wang, I’ll make a move, but not before."
