Chapter 967 - 967 967 It Was Your Plan

Chapter 967: Chapter 967: It Was Your Plan Chapter 967: Chapter 967: It Was Your Plan Luo Ziling reacted quickly. As the assailant charged at him with a knife, he performed an in-place leap, flipping nearly 400 degrees to narrowly avoid the sneak attack.

He didn’t wait for the attacker to make another move and immediately counterattacked.

Supporting himself on one skate, he kicked out with the other blade-clad foot toward the assailant.

The attacker, not expecting Luo Ziling to react so swiftly and not as skilled in skating, found himself quickly at a disadvantage.

Wuyue also noticed something was amiss and rushed over to help.

Although the attacker evaded Luo Ziling’s initial swift kick, he couldn’t dodge the follow-up slash kick, which hit him squarely. The blade sliced through his clothes, and blood gushed out instantly, dripping onto the ice.

Wuyue sped over and her body, launched into the air, heavily collided with the assailant.

The ice skates on both of her feet also cut through the attacker’s clothing and slashed into his flesh.

As Wuyue knocked down the assassin, Luo Ziling leapt up and delivered a powerful elbow strike to the chest of the assailant.

The force of the elbow strike was immense, not only severely injuring the assailant but also causing the ice to crack.

“Wuyue, leave this person to you,” Luo Ziling said, worried that there were other assassins and that Yang Qingyin was still nearby. He needed to go protect her.

Wuyue nodded in agreement, fearful of the ice breaking, she quickly picked up the assassin, who Luo Ziling had knocked unconscious, and moved away from the cracked ice surface.

The incident occurred so suddenly, and the actions of Luo Ziling and Wuyue were so rapid that many people did not realize what happened and continued skating.

Yang Qingyin did notice something unusual but was at a loss for an immediate reaction.

Ye Xiaoli also realized something was wrong and rushed over to protect Yang Qingyin.

As Ye Xiaoli was about to escort Yang Qingyin away, returning to Ling Ruonan’s side, Luo Ziling also arrived nearby.

After sliding in front of Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling ordered her to be careful and crouched down.

He feared there might be gunmen lurking nearby, and having Yang Qingyin crouch would make her slightly safer.

He also hurriedly removed his skates, preparing to leave the ice and meet up with Ling Ruonan.

Luo Ziling did not know whether today’s target was himself, Ling Ruonan, Yang Qingyin, or Ouyang Feifei.

But consolidating all their forces would undoubtedly make them much safer.

Wuyue did not call for backup, but instead dragged the unconscious attacker nearby by herself.

Finally, some people realized that something was amiss, and after panicking screams, attempted to flee the ice.

The management staff also realized something was wrong, broadcasted an evacuation notice immediately, and called the police.

At that moment, realizing the dire situation, Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun also rushed over to help, though they did not detect any other abnormalities.

Eventually, they dragged the assassin to the management office.

Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei also arrived at the office managing the skating activities; Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei even had Wuyue and Wang Qing contact the police immediately.

Seeing the situation, the park’s management understood that the group before them was not simple and thus dared not interfere with anything,

“Ling’er, are you hurt?” Ling Ruonan asked with furrowed brows when Luo Ziling came to her side, “What happened?”

“I’m not injured, my skating skills are far better than his,” Luo Ziling laughed, “It seems this person knew our whereabouts; otherwise, he wouldn’t have come here to assassinate. His target must have been me, as he charged directly at me. It’s just not clear if there are other accomplices.”

“There were accomplices, but they’ve already withdrawn,” Wang Zhenjun answered Luo Ziling’s question, “They meticulously planned today’s attack.”

“Miss, you should leave here quickly,” Wuyue suggested, “otherwise there might be other trouble.”

Ling Ruonan agreed with Wuyue’s proposal and decided to go back home immediately.

Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei were both terrified.

Although Luo Ziling wasn’t hurt and only had a scare, today’s pleasant outing turned into an attack, ruining their mood and making them feel jittery.

In such a situation, they had no interest in sightseeing anymore. Leaving this place and returning to a safe spot was their only thought.

Soon, the group got into the car and left the park.

On the way, Ouyang Feifei suggested that they should stop by her place first, and once there was a preliminary result of the incident, they could discuss what to do next.

She felt that bringing so many people to Ling Ruonan’s mansion, especially Yang Qingyin, was somewhat inappropriate.

Eventually, Ling Ruonan agreed to Ouyang Feifei’s arrangement, and although Yang Qingyin was reluctant, she didn’t object in the end.

So, the convoy made its way to Ouyang Feifei’s villa.

Ouyang Huihui was still living in Ouyang Feifei’s villa. She had been bored alone playing with her phone after Ouyang Feifei went out.

After sending Luo Ziling several messages without getting a response, her mood instantly worsened.

But, unexpectedly, Luo Ziling showed up at Ouyang Feifei’s villa with a group of women, which astonished Ouyang Huihui.

However, after seeing that Ling Ruonan and Yang Qingyin also came along, she ultimately snuck back to her room, feeling too apprehensive to face them.

Ouyang Feifei personally attended to the guests, served her best tea, and even boiled the water herself.

Yang Qingyin didn’t sit idle. She stepped forward to help Ouyang Feifei and, once the water boiled, prepared tea for everyone.

“Mom, it’s a pity we encountered trouble today and couldn’t have a good time,” Luo Ziling said regretfully as he looked at the snowflakes still falling outside the window, “How about, this afternoon I accompany you to Yan University, or inside Qinghua Garden? They wouldn’t dare do such shady things on campus. The snowy scenery by Lake Wuming is also quite beautiful, and the snowscapes inside Yan Garden too. Or maybe the Summer Palace, the Summer Palace?”

“Let’s talk about it later,” Ling Ruonan appeared a bit tired, “This afternoon, come with me to the old house.”

“All right,” Luo Ziling agreed.

“Mrs. Ling, why don’t you rest in the room for a while? Today, let’s have a simple meal here! I’ll have our lunch delivered,” Ouyang Feifei suggested delicately and added a brief explanation, “I rarely cook, so I didn’t prepare any vegetables.”

“Okay,” Ling Ruonan didn’t object, preparing to go upstairs to rest, and asked Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei to accompany her.

“Mom, I won’t intrude on your chat with the ladies,” Luo Ziling wisely decided not to go up with the women.

“Alright,” Mrs. Ling didn’t insist and let Luo Ziling stay downstairs.

Wuyue and Wang Qing both didn’t follow upstairs.

After escorting them to the villa, Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun left to deal with the recent incident.

Following Ouyang Feifei’s instructions, Wang Qing prepared meals for the group, while Wuyue kept Luo Ziling company in the living room.

Luo Ziling sat next to Wuyue, looked around to ensure no one was listening, and asked in a hushed tone, “Today’s incident wasn’t an accident, was it?”

Wuyue startled, suddenly lifted her head.

Luo Ziling gazed unblinkingly at Wuyue, “Did you plan what happened today?”
