Chapter 1211 - 1211 1211 Asking for Help

Chapter 1211: Chapter 1211: Asking for Help Chapter 1211: Chapter 1211: Asking for Help On the way back, Luo Ziling called Ling Ruonan.

Ling Ruonan was very surprised after what she heard Luo Ziling say.

“Then continue treating him; I really didn’t know Huang Chen came from such a poor family; he never showed it,” Ling Ruonan instructed Luo Ziling over the phone to give some help in a way that Huang Chen could accept.

Luo Ziling agreed.

He had treated Chen Xiaoyi this morning and an old lady this afternoon; Luo Ziling felt very tired.

Just then, Yang Qingyin called and asked what he was doing.

“I went to cure and save people,” Luo Ziling giggled, “half dead from exhaustion; senior sister, aren’t you going to comfort me? Like treating me to a big meal or giving me a massage?”

“Okay,” Yang Qingyin immediately agreed, “I feel like drinking porridge today, will you join me?”

“Why, are you trying to lose weight?” Luo Ziling seemed surprised, “I haven’t noticed you gaining weight, but you do seem a bit plumper.”

Yang Qingyin immediately became annoyed: “Luo Ziling, if you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll ignore you.”

“I’m not spouting nonsense,” Luo Ziling looked aggrieved, “it’s just the truth; the massages and treatments I’ve given you have turned out very well. Alright, I’ll be back at school soon; wait for me at the school gates, or it doesn’t matter if you wait at the gates of your residence.”

“Annoying junior,” Yang Qingyin originally wanted to explode, but she ended up not making a fuss with Luo Ziling, “Okay, I’ll wait for you at the school gates.”

Soon enough, Luo Ziling picked up Yang Qingyin at the school gates.

The two went to a porridge shop not far from school, ordered two servings of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, along with some snacks.

“Senior sister, I wasn’t wrong, why did you get so upset,” Luo Ziling lowered his voice after sitting down, speaking to Yang Qingyin who sat in front of him: “Look, it has grown a bit, hasn’t it?”

Yang Qingyin was caught off guard by Luo Ziling continuing this topic, and her face turned red instantly.

“Luo Ziling, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I really won’t deal with you,” Yang Qingyin stretched out her hand and pinched Luo Ziling’s arm hard, almost twisting his flesh off, “You’re so annoying.”

“Ah, I’m just discussing the results of the treatment with you, why aren’t you cooperating at all!” Luo Ziling said with a depressed face: “My treatment clearly worked, but you won’t admit it, which really makes me sad. Okay, let’s not talk about this. I’m dead tired today. How about you give me a massage later?”

“It’s not gonna happen,” Yang Qingyin hummed, “I don’t have the strength nor the interest. Unless you massage me first!”

“So you’re still not satisfied with the massage results!” Luo Ziling seemed to suddenly realize.

Seeing Yang Qingyin’s face turn red again, Luo Ziling quickly made a silencing gesture, “Eat without speaking, sleep without talking, let’s just focus on eating.”

Before Yang Qingyin could reply, Luo Ziling’s phone, placed on the table, cheerfully rang.

It was a call from Huang Chen; Luo Ziling quickly picked it up.

“Secretary Huang!”

“Ziling, are you free?”

“What’s wrong?” Hearing urgency in Huang Chen’s voice, Luo Ziling’s heart suddenly tightened.

“Just now my brother called; he said he ran into some trouble while he was out shopping, near the hotel!”

“Alright, I’ll be right there,” Luo Ziling didn’t ask for details and immediately stood up, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

“I’ll be there shortly!”

After hanging up, Luo Ziling immediately called for Yang Qingyin, and they went together.

“What’s wrong?” Yang Qingyin hadn’t fully caught the details of the phone call, and seeing Luo Ziling hurriedly getting up, she couldn’t help but be puzzled.

“A friend was beaten up, I need to go check on him.”

Upon hearing Luo Ziling say this, Yang Qingyin didn’t say anything, and immediately got up.

Soon, the two of them got into Yang Xiaodong’s car waiting downstairs.

After Yang Xiaodong started the car, under Luo Ziling’s urging, he drove very quickly towards the destination.

————-

After Luo Ziling and Huang Chen left, Huang Chen’s brother, Huang Long, also sat down to rest.

But soon someone knocked on the door, and upon opening it, he saw a young man with short hair.

The young man gave him a stack of money, saying it was a condolence payment from the leader for their grandmother, and specifically told Huang Long not to tell Huang Chen, fearing that it would psychologically burden him.

Huang Long hesitated for a moment but still accepted it.

Huang Chen’s leader had delivered the condolence money to their mother; receiving it wouldn’t cause any issues, so Huang Long didn’t hesitate.

If the amount had been larger, he wouldn’t have dared to accept it, but ten thousand yuan wasn’t too much.

Huang Long knew that his younger brother had strong principles. According to Huang Chen, he wanted to live like a true soldier in this lifetime—upright and straightforward, never using his position for personal gain, not corrupt, and without exploiting privileges.

Because Huang Chen had such a clear conscience, Huang Long remained a farmer all his life.

Of course, this also had to do with Huang Chen’s years in the special forces for over a dozen years.

It also related to Huang Long’s limited education, only up to elementary school, and his physical disability.

Huang Long didn’t have much money in his pocket; just earlier when Huang Chen came, he had given him two thousand yuan.

Huang Long knew that his younger brother lived a frugal life; being able to give him two thousand yuan was already rare.

The money he brought wasn’t much, so he was frugal along the way, worried about running out of money.

After the leader sent ten thousand yuan as a condolence payment, he felt relieved.

With this ten thousand yuan, life would be much easier, at least he wouldn’t have to worry about living expenses.

Therefore, taking advantage of their mother being sound asleep, Huang Long stepped out of the hotel to buy some fruit and other food to bring back.

Although their mother was not yet seventy years old, she had lost all her teeth and couldn’t afford dental implants, so she couldn’t chew hard food. This season, in the mountainous areas of the Northwest, it was hard to find fruit except for the persimmons stored at home, but their mother couldn’t eat persimmons.

This winter, apart from persimmons, Huang Long hadn’t tasted any other fruit.

With this ten thousand yuan, he wanted to buy some fruit for his mother on the streets, and also some nutritional supplements.

Huang Long had always lived in the countryside and seldom came to the city. This was only his second time in Yanjing.

The first time he visited Yanjing was eighteen years ago; at that time, Huang Chen was serving in the military, and he had just married. They came out to explore and see what a big city looked like.

Unfamiliar with modern environments, Huang Long was very curious about everything in Yanjing, which had a strong modern vibe.

As he walked out of the hotel looking for a place to buy fruits, he curiously looked around.

But as he walked along a narrow street, his head turned everywhere in curiosity, he accidentally bumped into a few young people.

Huang Long immediately apologized, but the youngsters were unforgiving and demanded that Huang Long compensate them for their phones, claiming that one of their phones had broken because Huang Long bumped into it.

“Your phone was already broken; I didn’t see your phone fall to the ground,” Huang Long’s few words of defense were met with a beating from the young men.
