Chapter 675: Chapter 675 I Want to Counterattack

(Chapter Eleven)

Wang Zhenjun ordered a lot of barbecue, and according to Luo Ziling’s estimate, the amount they ordered for the three of them was enough for ten people. Wang Zhenjun took a large portion of the unfinished barbecue with him, while Yang Xiaodong packed up and took away the rest, eating as he went.

Luo Ziling felt that he should find an opportunity to intimidate these two guys properly, lest they become too overconfident.

It’s just that for the moment, he couldn’t think of how to teach them a lesson.

On the way, Yang Xiaodong didn’t follow close behind Luo Ziling but trailed by about ten meters.

This guy was eating barbecue as he walked and occasionally whistled at or chatted up passing beauties.

...

Luo Ziling felt once again that he needed to report these two guys’ behavior to Luo Xusheng; he really couldn’t stand them—if he could meet Luo Xusheng, he would definitely complain.

However, Luo Ziling soon stopped paying attention to Yang Xiaodong’s unsightly behavior and remembered the matter they had just discussed. This was orchestrated by Lin Jiaming, and Luo Ziling also became aware of the Ling Family’s hatred towards him and his mother and their determination to go against them.

Lin Jiaming is the son of Ling Minglan, daughter of Ling Jinhua, and is Ling Ruonan’s cousin. Ling Ruonan is Lin Jiaming’s cousin, and Lin Jiaming would properly call Ling Mingrui ‘uncle.’

Some time ago, Ling Mingrui personally arranged for Lin Jiaming to join Northern Group.

The thirty-five-year-old Lin Jiaming, originally working in the department of commerce, was placed in Northern Group under the guise of a temporary assignment for professional development, accumulating experience for future promotion.

He joined Northern Group about a month later than Ling Haining, who became an assistant to Ling Ruonan upon her entry, whereas Lin Jiaming was appointed as the Executive Vice President of Northern Group.

Both of these positions are high-level management within Northern Group. But because Ling Ruonan was already well-prepared for them, their arrival hardly had any impact on operations, let alone on major decisions.

In other words, Ling Ruonan had completely sidelined them.

This situation was known to a few key players, and Ling Mingrui, Ling Jinhua, and Ling Minglan were also aware of it. Luo Ziling believed that they would not rest content with this setback. However, he had not expected Lin Jiaming to start his counterattack against Ling Ruonan in such a manner.

Of course, the assertions in the email were not without basis; during that time, Ling Ruonan indeed had been transferring assets, except she was not moving Northern Group’s assets to personal accounts.

What she was transferring was her own personal property which she had always held, and how she acquired those, Luo Ziling was not aware, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with his mother Ling Ruonan transferring these assets to him. However, if everyone believed that Ling Ruonan was embezzling company assets for personal gain, that would be a serious problem, and the involvement of the disciplinary inspection department could be a possibility.

Therefore, Luo Ziling was acutely aware of the severity of this matter and was eager to uncover the mastermind behind it.

He just didn’t expect to uncover the mastermind so quickly.

He felt that he had accomplished a great feat and that after telling Ling Ruonan the truth, she would surely praise him.

As a son, if you get praised by your parents for something you do, you will definitely be very happy.

However, what Luo Ziling didn’t expect was that when he rushed to Ling Ruonan’s villa and spoke to his mother who had just returned home, Ling Ruonan didn’t show much happiness.

“Actually, I had already anticipated Lin Jiaming’s actions, and he must have been instigated by Ling Haining to do so,” Ling Ruonan sighed, “Their actions really chill my heart!”

“Mom, there’s nothing to feel chilled about,” although Luo Ziling felt a slight disappointment, he quickly understood why Ling Ruonan was unhappy and immediately advised, “Mom, I think we should also be direct, use the truth we’ve uncovered to strike back and embarrass them. Tomorrow night when I go to treat Great Grandfather, I’ll talk to him about this matter. Don’t stop me, it’s useless to stop me, I’m going to say it. If we can’t seek justice after finding the truth, then we’re too easy to bully.”

After looking at Luo Ziling for a few moments, Ling Ruonan eventually didn’t reject his suggestion: “Alright, you go and talk to Great Grandfather, and I will tell my father about this. Tomorrow, I will call Lin Jiaming and Ling Haining to the office and confront them about this matter face to face.”

Relieved by Ling Ruonan’s response, Luo Ziling immediately made a suggestion: “Mom, I’ll come to your company tomorrow too, I’ll stand by you as we confront them.”

Luo Ziling’s words surprised Ling Ruonan, but in the end, she shook her head: “It’s better if you don’t show up at the company. If you appear in my office, it will make them even more nervous.”

“Mom, is there a difference whether I show up in your office or not?” Luo Ziling said somewhat urgently: “I think there is no difference, they won’t change their attitude towards me just because I confront them face-to-face. That day at the Ling Family Old Mansion, I already did that, what else do I have to fear from them?”

Ling Ruonan paused for a moment, and eventually still shook her head: “Indeed, there’s no difference.”

“Then I’ll come over tomorrow to be with you when we meet them, if there’s a quarrel, I’ll take part in it, if there’s a fight, I’ll teach them how to fight, but I won’t let them bully you.” Luo Ziling laughed cheerfully, “Mom, you are the queen of Northern Group, then I am the Crown Prince of Northern Group. As the Crown Prince, I’ve never been seen at Northern Group, how can that be?”

“You’re thinking of making a public appearance?” Ling Ruonan appeared very surprised.

Seeing the look of surprise on Ling Ruonan’s face, Luo Ziling quickly backed down, “Alright, I won’t make a public appearance for now, I’ll just sneak into your office, no one will recognize me.”

“Well then,” Ling Ruonan no longer hesitated and agreed to let Luo Ziling come with her to see Ling Haining and Lin Jiaming: “Let’s make it tomorrow afternoon at three o’clock. After it’s done, I’ll take you directly to treat Great Grandfather, then to treat your grandfather.”

Luo Ziling naturally would not refuse Ling Ruonan’s arrangement, and agreed without hesitation.

As Luo Ziling had to attend class the next day, he didn’t stay overnight at Ling Ruonan’s place. After giving her a massage to relieve her fatigue, he left the villa and returned to the university.

Seeing that Yang Qingyin hadn’t sent him a message, Luo Ziling didn’t dare to send one to her first for fear of causing trouble and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, he jogged to the sanatorium and treated Li Haiyang.

This time during the treatment, Li Haiyang didn’t talk much with Luo Ziling, just exchanged some information about the state of his health and the things to pay attention to during treatment. After the treatment, he went to sleep.

At noon, Luo Ziling received a call from Wuyue, saying she would come to pick him up from the university at two o’clock in the afternoon; Luo Ziling agreed.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Luo Ziling got into Wuyue’s car and headed to the Northern Group headquarters.
