Chapter 1196 - 1196 1196 Damn

Chapter 1196: Chapter 1196: Damn Chapter 1196: Chapter 1196: Damn “Not giving it,” Luo Ziling timely withdrew his hand, shockingly fast.

As Phoenix reached for it, he had already slipped the identification back into his pocket. “This is my ID, why should I give it to you?”

Standing nearby, Lin Lan, with a tense expression, realized that Luo Ziling was simply teasing Phoenix, she breathed a sigh of relief while also finding Luo Ziling’s antics annoying.

Lin Lan knew that Phoenix must be very angry.

Nobody had ever dared to tease Phoenix like this.

As expected, a murderous aura rose on Phoenix’s face, and her gaze toward Luo Ziling was very unfriendly.

“Last time you spoke to me, I gave it serious thought,” Luo Ziling ignored Phoenix’s indignation, speaking in a carefree manner, “I found out I can make several special kinds of medicine.”

Hearing Luo Ziling say this, Phoenix’s previously tense face slightly relaxed.

But Luo Ziling’s next words made her slightly eased expression turn even colder.

“Still, I dare not let you use these drugs. I’m afraid that one day, I might be killed by my own concoction.”

“Are you playing with us?” Phoenix coldly questioned, “Do you think this is funny?”

“Let’s not talk about that,” Luo Ziling waved his hand indifferently, “Tell me, what is it that you came for today?”

“Phoenix came to you for exactly the issue you just mentioned,” Lin Lan quickly said, then pleaded, “Can you help us, please?”

“This isn’t about whether I can help or not, but about professional ethics,” Phoenix pressed, which Luo Ziling could refuse, but with Lin Lan requesting like this, he felt embarrassed to directly refuse and could only say indirectly, “You all know, even ordinary hazardous materials are regulated by the state, let alone highly toxic drugs!”

“You go out first, I’ll talk to him,” Phoenix gestured for Lin Lan to leave.

Lin Lan nodded and promptly went out.

As she passed by Luo Ziling, she pinched his arm.

Phoenix saw Lin Lan’s small gesture but didn’t make a sound.

“There must be other things you wish to discuss,” after Lin Lan left, Luo Ziling became more serious, settling down on the couch and asked Phoenix, “What is it that Comrade Phoenix finds so important to personally come and discuss?”

“Recently, Lin Lan has been secretly doing tasks for you, and I worry that ultimately she would get into trouble,” Phoenix sat down on the couch and directly started talking, “You know her intentions. It’s not good for her growth, unless she leaves Dragon Rise.”

“What do you want me to do?”

“Tell her not to meddle in your affairs. Anyway, you have a few very capable people around you, having them help you, you won’t have any trouble,” Phoenix sighed softly, “These days, she’s been resting and has no external assignments. She can’t stay idle, often leaves the base to help you.”

After a pause, she continued, “She has been secretly monitoring many matters related to you and helping you clear up troubles. Like the incident with Chen Jiahai this time, and the last time when you were out on the streets and got into a situation with a thief. Lin Zecheng and his associates got taken care of by her as well.”

“So that’s how it was,” Luo Ziling was somewhat surprised.

“The incident with the thief was actually Lin Zecheng trying to frame Chen Jiahai to cause a bigger conflict between you two. Chen Jiahai didn’t instigate it, he was completely unaware.”

“Damn it,” anger rose in Luo Ziling’s heart.

Lin Zecheng and Wang Qimin among others had been playing tricks on them.

If it weren’t for that incident, perhaps Chen Wanqing might not have been forced to seek revenge against Chen Jiahai.

Forcing Chen Wanqing to take revenge on Chen Jiahai was a “cumulative effect” of several events.

He didn’t know how Lin Lan disciplined them, he had never heard her talk about it.

When he was alone with Lin Lan later, he definitely needed to ask.

“I know what to do,” Luo Ziling didn’t wait for Phoenix to say anything more and immediately took a stand, “I’ll talk to Lin Lan about it later.”

“Good!” Phoenix nodded approvingly, then asked Luo Ziling, “How is the Sect Leader doing?”

“If you are clinging to the old attitudes, then you will be surprised by the current situation; if you’re anxious, then it will be disappointing,” Luo Ziling smiled, “For your Sect Leader to have recovered to this extent is already a miracle. Whether he can make another miracle, I can’t assure. I can only say, I will try my best in treating him and also hope that the elder can continue to keep the faith. Faith is more important than anything. Take a severely injured person for example, at the brink of death, if the desire to live is very strong, then he might pull through and eventually find a new lease on life. If he gives up, he might just pass away.”

“I understand what you mean!” Phoenix nodded, “But we still hope that the Sect Leader can quickly recover his health and come back to lead Dragon Rise.”

“He was hoping my father would take his place, right?”

“If your father could come now, then we wouldn’t be worried,” Phoenix replied, then stopped, a look of hesitance on her face.

“Can’t you tell me exactly what’s going on?” Luo Ziling was a bit puzzled.

Phoenix shook her head, “Some things, you shouldn’t know.”

Luo Ziling thought for a moment and then asked Phoenix, “So, it must be that someone wants to take over the Sect Leader’s position and control Dragon Rise themselves, right?”

Phoenix gave Luo Ziling a slightly surprised look but ultimately neither nodded nor shook her head.

“I understand,” Luo Ziling chuckled, “Many people think the Sect Leader is now incapacitated and shouldn’t continue to be the head of Dragon Rise, hence they want to replace him. But he himself is not resigned, and you don’t wish for that either, so you are hoping he can recover quickly.”

“Alright, since you guessed it, I won’t hide it from you, it’s indeed the case,” Phoenix was a straightforward person, hearing Luo Ziling say this, she no longer hid anything, “Originally we had no hope, with the Sect Leader like this, nobody could change the outcome of him leaving here, but now, our thoughts are different.”

“So, you hope I can treat him more, to let him quickly recover to normal?”

Phoenix nodded.

“I’ll do my best!” Luo Ziling couldn’t refuse Phoenix’s request, and curiously asked, “If the Sect Leader leaves here, who would come here?”

“We can’t know this, but it certainly won’t be your father,” Phoenix shook her head, “If so, your father also won’t have a chance to come here anymore.”

“I understand,” Luo Ziling nodded again.

It must be the faction displeased with Li Haiyang, aiming for the position of Sect Leader.

Li Haiyang was someone promoted by Ling Mingrui, so those wanting to replace Li Haiyang must be from another faction.

This matter, asking Ling Mingrui should make it clear.

Luo Ziling was a very curious person, he decided, next time when treating Ling Mingrui, to thoroughly inquire about this question.

At this moment, Phoenix spoke again, “There’s another favor I want to ask of you.”

“What favor?”
