Chapter 731: Chapter 731: A Secret

Some things, when clarified, become clearer in the heart, but the special feeling also disappears.

Although Luo Ziling had a deep affection for Yang Qingyin, he also had very special feelings towards Lin Lan.

After all, she was the first woman whose body he had fully seen, and she was so beautiful with such a great figure. It was impossible for him not to have any feelings for Lin Lan.

After coming to Yanjing, with such long-term contact, his feelings for Lin Lan had grown even more subtle, otherwise there wouldn’t have been so much commotion between them.

But today, Phoenix had pierced through that mysterious haze, and of course Luo Ziling felt very embarrassed.

Luckily, before Yang Qingyin arrived, Phoenix had already spoken similar words to him; otherwise, he really wouldn’t have known how to respond.

“Captain Comrade, why are you still worried about this?” Luo Ziling replied with a bitter smile, “You can rest assured, I will do everything possible to treat her. If I can’t cure her, then it’s just her bad luck. You are all special forces soldiers who have gone through this type of training, some things you won’t take to heart, and you’ll be able to see through them quickly, right?”

Phoenix looked at Luo Ziling curiously for a moment, but didn’t say much more.

In the end, Phoenix still left the hotel, saying she would come back tomorrow to pick up Lin Lan and that she would definitely be able to arrange accommodations for her then.

After Phoenix left, Luo Ziling entered the room, and seeing Lin Lan sleeping soundly, he too wanted to catch some sleep.

But lying in bed, he just couldn’t fall asleep.

Unable to sleep, and not wanting to leave the bed, he just lay there flipping through his phone.

Seeing that Ouyang Feifei had messaged him again, asking if he had finished his work, and if he had, to not forget to go treat her as it had been quite a few days since the last treatment.

After thinking for a while, Luo Ziling sent a message back telling Ouyang Feifei that a friend of his was seriously injured and he was fully committed to the rescue for the next few days. He said that he wouldn’t have the time or energy to treat her and asked her to wait a couple more days.

“Alright,” Ouyang Feifei replied with two words, and then there was no further conversation.

Ouyang Huihui had also sent him a message, asking what he was busy with, as she wanted to invite him for a meal to thank him for the last treatment. She also wanted to ask Luo Ziling some questions.

Luo Ziling declined Ouyang Huihui’s invitation on the grounds that he was unavailable.

Whether Ouyang Huihui hadn’t checked her phone or was bathing or busy with something, Luo Ziling didn’t see a reply from her.

Teacher Wang Tongshan had also sent a message, wanting to meet him for tea or dinner. Luo Ziling replied, saying that once he was finished with his current busy period, he would definitely invite the two teachers out to express his gratitude for their righteousness.

Chen Xiaoyi, Chen Xiaoxiao, and Fang Qianqian had all sent messages as well, all wanting to invite him for a meal or to hang out, and Fang Qianqian even asked when he would treat her brother. Luo Ziling rejected their invitations, saying he was busy with important matters.

So many beautiful women reaching out to him should have made Luo Ziling feel quite proud, but now he felt a bit annoyed and regretted giving them his new WeChat ID.

But thinking it over, not telling them his new contact information wouldn’t stop them from getting in touch with him, and ultimately, he came to terms with it.

At the bottom of his WeChat messages, he saw a message from Luo Yuqing, the beautiful president of the student council, asking if he had time to participate in an activity together. She mentioned that she wanted to treat him to a meal to thank him for giving her face and also wanted to ask for his help with something.

Luo Ziling had a good impression of Luo Yuqing, so he replied patiently that he was tied up for the next few days and hadn’t even been able to attend classes, but he would contact her once he was free.

Luo Yuqing’s message quickly came back.

“Alright then, we’ll get in touch after you, Mr. Busy, are free,” followed by several playful emojis.

After replying to her message, Luo Ziling finally started feeling sleepy and, eventually, he threw his phone aside and fell into a deep sleep.

What Luo Ziling didn’t realize was that during the time he put away his phone and fell asleep, several people were discussing matters related to him not too far from where he was staying at the hotel.

“Brother, we can’t let that Luo guy get away with bullying us like this,” fumed Ling Haijun, who inexplicably found himself hauled to the police station in the middle of the night and only released after a long ordeal. “Ling Ruonan and her bastard son have gone too far; how dare they treat the Ling Family like this?”

Ling Haining, equally dissatisfied, was slowly sipping his tea and didn’t immediately respond to Ling Haijun’s complaint.

It was the weekend, and Ling Haijun had invited Ling Haining for tea to discuss recent events and devise a strategy. As soon as they entered the café, Ling Haijun began venting to Ling Haining.

“We can’t let these things slide,” Ling Haijun seethed, “That bastard, Luo Ziling, dares to bully us like this; I won’t let him off easily. Brother, say something!”

“Of course, we won’t just let it go,” stated Ling Haining, his expression unchanging.

“Brother, so how shall we take revenge?” Ling Haijun’s biggest fear was that Ling Haining would back down from avenging himself on Luo Ziling. Hearing Ling Haining’s reply, he felt relieved.

“I just heard a secret from my dad, a secret known by very few,” Ling Haining said with a cold smirk looking at Ling Haijun, “No more than two or three people know this secret. Not even my grandfather or the old man knows. My dad discovered this incident by chance, but it’s not entirely certain.”

“What secret?” asked Ling Haijun, his face filled with surprise, “Brother, tell me quickly!”

“I can’t tell you for now,” Ling Haining shook his head, “I will reveal this secret to everyone once our plan succeeds.”

“Brother, then… Oh, what kind of thing is it?” Ling Haijun’s curiosity was piqued, he was extremely frustrated, almost dying to pry the unspoken words from Ling Haining’s belly, but he dared not push too hard, so he tried to probe indirectly, “Is it related to that bastard Luo Ziling, or to that slut Ling Ruonan?”

“Strictly speaking, it’s unrelated to both Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan, but it is related to Luo Ziling’s father and also involves another woman, no, two other women,” after saying this, Ling Haining didn’t want to elaborate anymore, “Once the plan succeeds, you’ll know the secret. Heh, if this plan works, it’s going to be even more painful for them than just offing that bastard Luo Ziling. Luo Xusheng, Ling Ruonan, and the other two women, they’ll surely find life worse than death.”

“Brother, you’re torturing me with the suspense,” Ling Haijun complained, visibly dejected and angry that Ling Haining didn’t trust him enough to share the secret, “I’m going to be smothered by this.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I will personally plan this matter. Once I’ve set things in motion, I won’t get involved with other issues; you’ll handle them. Today, let’s discuss other matters,” Ling Haining resolved.

“Alright,” Ling Haijun could only agree.
