Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Know but Cannot Tell

In Lin Lan’s shyness, Luo Ziling carefully wiped down her body with hot water and a warm towel.

Besides the wounded area, he meticulously wiped every other part.

After cleaning Lin Lan’s body, Luo Ziling then dressed her in cotton pajamas.

Feeling a bit nervous, Luo Ziling began to sweat from the tension as he helped Lin Lan get dressed.

“I’d like some fruit,” Lin Lan made a small request as Luo Ziling finished dressing her and was about to help her lie down.

“Alright,” Luo Ziling didn’t refuse, and chose a pitaya she could eat to feed her.

“I have no parents, I’ve never seen them since I was little, and I’ve never enjoyed the love of parents,” Lin Lan softly spoke few words she had never shared with anyone while eating the fruit from Luo Ziling’s hand, “I was adopted by him since childhood, and later followed him to Dragon Rise. He was very strict and did not care about my affairs. You are the first man who has cared for me like this.”

“Are you trying to say I’m a nice guy,” Luo Ziling laughed, “Actually, receiving the Nice Guy Card is not a good thing. If during a romance, a woman tells a man, or a man tells a woman, ‘You are a good person,’ it means there’s no chance for us.”

Lin Lan looked at Luo Ziling in astonishment, smiled faintly, and then shook her head, “I’m really grateful for your rescues. I won’t repeat what has been said, we’ll talk about everything after I recover.”

“Staying here for three to five days, in fact, you could leave. After that, go to senior Li Haiyang. I can help you both with your treatment. In another two to three days, at most a week, your injuries will not be serious, and you can slowly recuperate. Don’t doubt what I say; the medical skills passed down in my Luo Family are truly miraculous. Once I learn some more western medicine techniques, my medical skills will become even more impressive.”

Lin Lan usually doesn’t like to talk much. After meeting Luo Ziling, her temperament changed slightly, but she still wasn’t used to saying a lot. However, she enjoyed listening to Luo Ziling talk, and even more, she hoped that Luo Ziling would spend more time talking with her, so she could feel the warmth of being cared for and having someone’s companionship.

It’s just that she didn’t know how to express this request.

So, she just quietly watched Luo Ziling, her eyes no longer as cold as before.

However, Luo Ziling and Lin Lan had not spent much time together, and Lin Lan had always been indifferent, so the two could not read each other’s minds; thus, Luo Ziling definitely could not guess Lin Lan’s thoughts.

He hoped that Lin Lan would recover quickly, which is why he asked her to sleep more and rest well. Seeing her sitting for so long, he also insisted she lay down to sleep. Lin Lan didn’t really want to sleep but eventually drifted off after Luo Ziling pressed a few acupoints for her.

While Lin Lan was asleep, Luo Ziling went to find Wang Zhenjun and Yang Xiaodong.

Wang Zhenjun had clamored several times that he had important things to report, so Luo Ziling certainly could not remain indifferent.

Wang Zhenjun and Yang Xiaodong were nearby, and after Luo Ziling contacted them, the two guys quickly appeared.

They drove up in an off-road vehicle obtained from who knows where, waiting for Luo Ziling near the small building where Lin Lan stayed, and the three discussed matters inside the car.

“Young Master Comrade,” Wang Zhenjun still called him with this odd appellation, speaking in a joking manner, “The defamation against you on the campus internet forum last time was probably orchestrated by someone named Chen Jiawei. But we haven’t found conclusive evidence—only a high probability. Chen Jiawei is a distant member of the Yanjing Chen Family, a cousin to both Chen Jiahai and Chen Jiahu.”

“So, you’re saying that this is the Chen Family’s doing?” Luo Ziling furrowed his brows slightly.

“It’s only a probable event. We can’t find more definitive information because they have taken plenty of precautions,” Wang Zhenjun finally grew serious and continued, “Moreover, they have connections with someone named Jiang Xiaojin, who is the female lead in this incident you’re involved with. Maybe Jiang Xiaojin is also involved, or they are using her. Next, I’ll try to monitor their communications; maybe the ultimate truth will come to light during the process.”

“I think I understand the truth already,” Luo Ziling chuckled coldly and then asked curiously, “Tell me, Dull Bird, how did you find out about this? These matters seem hard to investigate. Can you share the details with me?”

“This is our specialty; Young Master Comrade, don’t probe any further. Even if you do, we won’t tell,” Wang Zhenjun returned to his jesting ways, tittering as he said, “Anyway, we’ve already almost figured things out. We’ll keep an eye on these people and those on the list you gave us. As for what we’re going to do, it’s best if you don’t worry about it—we’ve got this.”

Luo Ziling was a bit irritated, but after thinking it over, he ultimately refrained from losing his temper with them.

“When will my father come to the Capital?” He merely asked a question that he cared about deeply.

“Don’t know,” Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun almost simultaneously shook their heads.

“Is that you don’t know, or you’re unwilling to say?”

“We’re not privy to the Boss’s whereabouts, and even if we were, we couldn’t disclose them,” Yang Xiaodong still shook his head, “Young Master Comrade, please don’t make it difficult for us. Anyway, you’ll meet soon.”

“Alright then.”
