Chapter 960: Chapter 960: I Felt It Chapter 960: Chapter 960: I Felt It During dinner, Luo Ziling received a call from Li Qingyang who said that they had mostly figured out last nightâs case.
It was an act of excessive behavior by the group of trouble-seeking students from the Sports Academy, carried out in a fit of rage. They had been properly reprimanded, and in order not to leave a stain on their records, it had been decided not to pursue criminal charges against them. He hoped Luo Ziling would understand.
At the end of the conversation, Li Qingyang lowered his voice and said, âThese are the conclusions weâve reached after the public interrogation, but I have a feeling that someone was behind this, trying to lure you out. They wanted to provoke you into a fight and then give us a reason to make things difficult for you, just to make you uncomfortable. But this is just my guess, as we havenât found any evidence. Iâm just letting you know as a friend, privately, hoping that Mr. Luo will be a little more careful in the future.â
âAlright, thank you, Director Li,â Luo Ziling replied, seeming to suddenly understand.
âWhatâs going on?â Ling Ruonan, who heard Luo Ziling on the phone, asked quietly.
âDirector Li Qingyang from the Haiding Sub-bureau called to tell me about how last nightâs fight was handled,â Luo Ziling didnât conceal anything and discussed the situation in front of Ling Ruonan as well as Ling Mingrui and Xie Enhua.
âWhat happened?â Xie Enhua was startled. âYou fought again?â
âIt seems someone wanted to disgust me, instigated others to attack my classmates, and then drew me out to hit back, planning to use the police to deal with me,â said Luo Ziling, glancing at Ling Mingrui before sitting down again and speaking thoughtfully. âItâs true that a tree wants to stay still but the wind keeps blowing; I donât want to cause trouble, but others just donât leave me alone!â
âWho was behind it?â Ling Ruonanâs face turned cold.
âDonât know, itâs almost impossible to find out the truth in this kind of situation,â Luo Ziling said, sitting down and continuing to eat.
âYou should reach out to the school leaders, and the leaders of the nearby sub-bureau and police station,â Ling Mingrui told Ruonan after hearing this, âIf anything happens, whether itâs major or minor, make sure they inform you first to defuse the situation.â
âYes, Dad!â Ling Ruonan quickly agreed.
As they were leaving Ling Mingruiâs villa after finishing the treatment, Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling, âDid you notice the change in your grandfather?â
âI did,â nodded Luo Ziling, âHe showed goodwill and didnât blame me for my reckless actions, and he also warned me about many things.â
Luo Ziling also relayed most of what Ling Mingrui had said to Ling Ruonan, and upon hearing it, her face couldnât help but reveal a look of joy.
âThatâs good,â she didnât say much else, just sighed softly.
The Ling Family had tried to frame Luo Ziling but ended up shooting themselves in the foot, resulting in an unintended boon for mother and son.
The outcome was something they had never even dreamed of, so naturally, Ruonan was very happy.
On the way, Ling Ruonan reminded Luo Ziling to tell her or Wuyue right away if anything happened.
âI will speak with your schoolâs leaders and Li Qingyang, asking them to look after you,â Ling Ruonan said as she reached out and held Luo Zilingâs hand, âAre you coming to sleep with Mom tonight? Itâs the weekend tomorrow, Iâm not busy, and we could enjoy the snow scenery together, how about it?â
After giving it some thought, Luo Ziling replied, âMom, how about I come over tomorrow morning instead? I need to go back to my dorm tonight. My roommates are uneasy there after last nightâs incident, so I need to go talk to them. Also, I want to inform Yang Qingye and Yang Qingyin about the situation.â
Ling Ruonan nodded, âThatâs fine, you can come over tomorrow morning then. Iâll have Wuyue come pick you up, or ask Yang Xiaodong to bring you over.â
âMom, Iâll come over on my own, itâs such cold weather I wouldnât want to disturb sister Wuyue, she can sleep in,â Luo Ziling suggested.
âAlright then!â Ling Ruonan didnât say much more.
When mother and son were talking, they raised the soundproof panel, so Wuyue sitting in front couldnât hear what they were saying.
If she had heard Luo Ziling expressing his concern for her in front of Ling Ruonan, she would certainly have been moved.
When Luo Ziling returned to school, it was just eight oâclock.
The dormitory was quite lively with many classmates around.
Seeing Luo Ziling come back, they all gathered around, teasingly asking him which goddess he had gone on a date with this time.
Someone even came over and dramatically sniffed a few times. After detecting the scent of womenâs perfume on Luo Ziling, they started teasing him relentlessly.
Luo Ziling ignored them and briefly told Cao Jianhui and others about how he had dealt with the incident from last night.
Learning that the police didnât plan to pursue criminal charges against those troublemaking students, only letting the school deal with it internally, Cao Jianhui and the rest felt a bit indignant. However, they just grumbled a few words and didnât take any further action.
âThird, what exactly is going on with your relationship with Wang Qian?â Luo Ziling asked Wu Longjiang.
With Luo Ziling asking him in front of so many people, Wu Longjiang couldnât help but blush, hemming and hawing without willing to say much.
Cao Jianhui answered for him, âYesterdayâs incident has caused their relationship to progress by leaps and bounds. Today at noon, Wang Qian took the initiative to come to our dorm to show her concern and even bought us fruit. Hehe, Third, get a grip, that girl isnât half bad.â
The others immediately chimed in, egging Wu Longjiang to treat them and to ask Wang Qian out.
Wu Longjiang was even more embarrassed, but he didnât dare to ask Wang Qian out at this time because with the âpack of wolvesâ around, he felt a sense of crisis, âLetâs talk about it in a couple of days!â
âThat works for me since I have something to do tonight anyway. Weâll let Third treat us to supper another day,â Luo Ziling was thinking of going out to find Yang Qingye and Yang Qingyin.
âWhatâs the occasion? Did a goddess invite you to a hotel?â Cao Jianhui said with a lecherous grin, âBoss, even though youâre in great shape, you still need to be careful!â
As a result, his words successfully earned him a kick from Luo Ziling, and amidst Cao Jianhuiâs howls, the group burst into laughter.
During the day, Luo Ziling had multiple WeChat conversations with Yang Qingyin, and he promised that after dinner at Ling Mingruiâs, he would go to her. So, after leaving the dormitory, he immediately phoned Yang Qingyin.
Yang Qingyin was not at home, as she had returned to school.
When Luo Ziling said he wanted to talk to Yang Qingye about some matters, Yang Qingyin didnât decline. She told Luo Ziling to ask Yang Qingye out, find a place for tea, and she would come over later.
Luo Ziling phoned Yang Qingye.
The phone rang for a while before it connected; Yang Qingyeâs voice sounded muffled, âBrother-in-law, I was just looking for you. My dad gave me a severe scolding today, and Iâm feeling upset. I wanted to drink with you.â
âNo drinking, letâs have tea,â Luo Ziling refused Yang Qingyeâs request to drink, âLetâs talk about things together, your sister will come later too. Letâs meet at the teahouse we visited last time, my treat!â
âAlright,â Yang Qingye didnât decline.
What neither of them expected was that when they talked that evening, they ended up in a confrontationâŠ
