Chapter 1534: 1534 A Sudden Realization

Chapter 1534: Chapter 1534 A Sudden Realization

Hot soup splashed on him, and Luo Ziling suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

He quickly grabbed a piece of paper, wiped the soup off himself, and then looked at Yang Qingyin in disbelief.

“You didn’t expect me to do something like this, did you?” Yang Qingyin smiled, “You think I shouldn’t be such a scheming person?”

“I did kind of feel that way,” Luo Ziling didn’t deny it.

“You think only someone like Ouyang Feifei would do such a thing?”

“Not really,” looking at Yang Qingyin’s slightly mischievous face, Luo Ziling shook his head, “I’ve always thought you were quite smart, and you hate evil.”

“Calling me smart, I’ll accept that, but saying I’m hate evil is a bit inappropriate,” Yang Qingyin slowly ate the few wontons in her bowl, speaking as she ate, “I was almost ruined by my uncle; how could I not take revenge? Since he’s so ruthless, I have to get back at him. Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat.”

“So, you bribed Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun around me too?”

“Oh, so that’s what you think,” Yang Qingyin’s expression turned cold, looking unkindly at Luo Ziling, “Do you really think that?”

“Don’t look at me like that, you know I’m joking. But well, they agreed to help you cover up, I’m really impressed by your personal charm,” Luo Ziling reached out and poked Yang Qingyin’s nose, “Ye Xiaoli wouldn’t help me cover up like that, nor would she snitch.”

“Hmph,” Yang Qingyin snorted heavily, then diverted the topic back to the earlier incident, “This matter was probably instigated by Yang Yunzhong. Chen Jiahu didn’t know that someone put drugs in Wang Qing’s drink. He invited Ouyang Feifei and Wang Qing just to discuss cooperation.”

Hearing Yang Qingyin say this, Luo Ziling suddenly felt enlightened.

It should be someone instructed by Yang Yunzhong who attended the dinner with Chen Jiahu to greet Wang Qing. They took the opportunity to drug Wang Qing’s drink while others were not paying attention, and Chen Jiahu was kept in the dark about it.

Until Wang Qing hid in the bathroom and Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun went to rescue him, he still didn’t know.

Because he was unaware, he firmly refused to let Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun take Wang Qing away, showing great resistance.

Luo Ziling clearly remembered, when he and Ouyang Feifei went upstairs, Chen Jiahu had gathered so many bodyguards, and was quite confident in anger.

The snipers they encountered outside the hall must also have been arranged by Yang Yunzhong or his men, to complicate matters or to frame Chen Jiahu by stirring things further.

Thinking of this, Luo Ziling felt little doubt about what happened tonight.

But he still called Wuyue to inquire about the interrogation of the two men in black he had captured.

“Young master, they confessed that they were arranged by Chen Jiahai to intercept those who came to save Wang Qing.” Wuyue informed Luo Ziling in a low voice during the call, “I have some doubts about the accuracy of their confession and can only use it as a reference.”

After thinking for a while, Luo Ziling suddenly had an idea and immediately instructed Wuyue: “Keep them, they will be useful. In a couple of days, we’ll meet with Chen Jiahai and Chen Jiahu and see what they have to say.”

Wuyue immediately understood Luo Ziling’s intentions and agreed at once.

“Seems like you think you’ve figured things out, right?” Yang Qingyin heard Luo Ziling’s conversation with Wuyue on the phone, and looked at Luo Ziling with a playful expression, “Such a big event, mastering the situation entirely, does it feel like quite an achievement?”

“I do feel a bit like that,” Luo Ziling didn’t deny it, smiling at Yang Qingyin, “But I feel like there’s subtext in your words. Could it be that you think many things about this incident can’t be explained?”

Yang Qingyin looked at Luo Ziling seriously, then gently asked: “Besides the possibility that Yang Yunzhong planned this, have you considered another possibility?”

“What possibility?”

“Someone orchestrated this theatrically themselves!”

“Who? Ouyang Feifei, or Wang Qing?”

Yang Qingyin didn’t answer Luo Ziling’s question but looked sideways at the already wilted plum blossoms on the sunny ledge, sighing, “Ah, time flies, even the plum blossoms have fallen, spring is arriving quickly.”

Luo Ziling was suddenly at a loss for words, “Hey, why did you change the subject?”

“There’s no way I can answer that question, I’m just hinting at it. You might think I am attacking them if I say Ouyang Feifei or Wang Qing planned it. Wouldn’t you think I have a bias if I said your mom or Luo Yuqing planned it? If I said Fang Dongxun or the Fang Family or Ling Family planned this, would you think I’m very scheming to think that far ahead?”

Luo Ziling suddenly didn’t know how to respond to Yang Qingyin’s words.

“I’m just pointing out a possibility, not suggesting anyone is suspicious,” Yang Qingyin seemed a bit upset, “Looks like there’s less understanding between us now.”

“Don’t say that, I admit I was wrong, isn’t that enough?” Luo Ziling said, standing up, walking to Yang Qingyin, and grabbing her hand, “Your analysis is very reasonable, and your reminders opened my eyes. This matter surely isn’t simple, I’ll find a way to investigate it thoroughly.”

Yang Qingyin broke free from Luo Ziling’s grasp, then stood up, walked to the balcony, picked a blooming wintersweet flower, and told Luo Ziling, who followed her, “Wintersweet is more subdued than plum blossoms but lasts longer, don’t you think?”

Luo Ziling almost cried, pleading, “Senior, stop being so philosophical, I’m dumber than you, okay?”

“I didn’t say anything philosophical, I just said wintersweets last longer than plum blossoms,” Yang Qingyin rolled her eyes at Luo Ziling, “Why do you act like school teachers, insisting on reading deep meanings into what others write or say? Isn’t it tedious?”

“…” Luo Ziling was speechless, not knowing how to respond to Yang Qingyin.

“Actually, I originally wanted to have a good chat with you after coming back, but your affairs have been too many since I returned, no chance to find an opening,” Yang Qingyin changed the topic again, “Even now isn’t a right time to bring up this topic, given your recent troubles, but I still want to talk to you about something.”

“What is it?” Luo Ziling asked, frowning at Yang Qingyin.

Yang Qingyin and Luo Ziling stood face to face before softly said, “My parents suggested I go to study in America, and I haven’t clearly opposed it.”

Yang Qingyin’s words struck a chord with Luo Ziling, immediately bringing a foreboding feeling.
