Chapter 1573: Chapter 1573: Next Time I’ll Make Sure You Leave Sideways

Chen Jiahai and a beautiful woman died indulgently in an apartment, and another important figure from the Chen Family was taken away by the police that night. Such an event occurring in Yanjing’s top-tier Chen Family left everyone who knew incredulous.

Insiders also knew that when the police arrived to take Chen Jiahu away, there was a conflict with some people in plain clothes whose identities were unknown. However, the officers from the Yanjing City Bureau were able to take Chen Jiahu away with the help of the special police.

Taking Chen Jiahu away to assist in the investigation was a decision made by Yanjing’s administrative officer Yang Yunlin.

Online revelations had exposed a long-standing feud between Yang Yunzhong and his brothers Chen Jiahai and Chen Jiahu. The two sides had been at odds for a long time, and even Lingyun Group’s assistant to the president Wang Qing almost became a sacrificial victim of their struggle. After being plotted against by Yang Yunzhong, Chen Jiahu was indignant and vowed revenge. Suspecting Yang Yunzhong was responsible for his cousin’s sudden death, he took a risk to find ways to eliminate Yang Yunzhong.

Due to the evidence provided by online revelations, the Yanjing City Bureau, supported by Yang Yunlin, forcibly took Chen Jiahu away.

Even Chen Jiahu’s father, Chen Yijing, could not stop them.

After the police clashed with those trying to prevent them, they finally took Chen Jiahu away.

The officers from the Yanjing City Bureau taking Chen Jiahu away naturally angered the Chen Family.

They rightly believed that Chen Jiahai’s death was orchestrated by Yang Yunzhong and presented evidence as well.

The online whistleblowers provided evidence not only of the Chen brothers plotting against Yang Yunzhong but also of Yang Yunzhong’s plans against them. Therefore, even deceased Yang Yunzhong became a suspect.

However, Yang Yunzhong had already passed away and was preserved at the funeral home, so naturally, he couldn’t be taken to the police bureau.

Yet, a number of Yang Yunzhong’s subordinates were still taken away by officers from the Xuanwen sub-bureau.

The director of Xuancheng Sub-bureau insisted on taking away a large part of Yang Yunzhong’s subordinates and some other members of the Yang Family, disregarding instructions from several leaders of the city bureau. Among those taken away were senior advisers left by Yang Yuanshan’s father, Yang Yuanhai, to assist Yang Yunzhong.

Yang Yunzhong was not Yang Yuanshan’s son but his nephew; however, he dared to compete with Yang Yunlin, Yang Yuanshan’s biological son, for the position of heir to the family head, which showed that he had many capable people around him.

Yesterday, the day and evening in Yanjing City were as lively as they could get.

However, the Chen Family head Chen Ruchang and Yang Family head Yang Yuanshan, these two high-ranking individuals, did not directly intervene in the matter, nor did they appear in public.

After their people relayed the information, Wuyue informed Luo Ziling immediately.

Ling Ruonan instructed Wuyue to inform Luo Ziling first when news arrived before telling her once he knew.

Wuyue understood Ling Ruonan’s intention.

If anything unexpected happened, Luo Ziling, the planner, would definitely need to make decisions.

If unsure, she would need to consult with her.

Because Ling Ruonan was unaware of the matter beforehand, she couldn’t discern deeper layers, hence couldn’t dictate the current situation.

The subsequent news actually made her feel relieved, as the police hadn’t come looking for them, nor did they even make a call to inquire about the situation.

Ling Ruonan could gather information not only through the line with Wuyue but also through other sources.

To some extent, the information she gathered from other lines was not less than what she obtained from Wuyue.

Luo Ziling could only rely on Wuyue, as well as Yang Xiaodong, Wang Zhenjun, and Lin Lan.

But Luo Ziling knew that in such special times, Lin Lan wasn’t likely to show up or contact her.

After dinner, Luo Ziling and Wuyue exchanged opinions at least ten times, finding nothing unusual, which lessened their worry.

Even though he felt the plan was meticulous and there weren’t any oversights during the action, Luo Ziling was still worried about unexpected situations.

Wuyue had the same concern.

Because she planned this matter without Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling’s knowledge, Wuyue felt immense pressure, fearing Ling Ruonan’s blame afterward.

If nothing happened it would be fine, but if something did, she felt she wouldn’t be able to face Ling Ruonan.

Over these years, Ling Ruonan had trusted her immensely, and before this incident, Wuyue had always shown loyalty, never being two-faced; this was the first time. Although Luo Ziling was Ling Ruonan’s son, the person she loved and trusted most, Wuyue still felt guilty about betraying her master in front of Ling Ruonan.

If this incident involved Ling Ruonan, or if it caused trouble for Luo Ziling, she honestly wouldn’t know what to do.

After reporting the situation to Luo Ziling again, Wuyue left his room, and returned in less than five minutes.

She brought someone along when she returned.

To Luo Ziling’s surprise, it was Phoenix.

“Why did you come to my place?” Seeing Phoenix reveal her true appearance after removing her disguise and standing before him, Luo Ziling was dumbfounded.

Wuyue didn’t stay long in the room; she closed the door for them and went out.

“I’m here for treatment,” Phoenix said with a faint smile on her face, “What, did something make you as skittish as a startled bird?”

“That night, I was treating you, not taking advantage of you, nothing to feel guilty about,” Luo Ziling feigned naïveté, “Besides, what profit is there to gain from a woman of your age? You know, I’m never short of beauties around me.”

This sentence infuriated Phoenix, and she glared at Luo Ziling angrily, “What did you say?”

“What did I say? I said nothing,” Luo Ziling played the rascal again, “You came for treatment today, right? Well then, just like the other night, take off your clothes and wear only your briefs.”

Phoenix’s face flushed slightly, and she said resentfully, “We’ll talk about this later.”

“So why are you looking for me?”

“Are you still pretending to be stupid?”

“I like pretending to be stupid, is that okay?”

“You actually had Lin Lan help you with such matters,” Phoenix said quietly with resentment, “Aren’t you afraid that if she gets exposed, it could bring disaster to the entire Dragon Rise?”

“What do you mean?”

“Did Lin Lan kill Yang Yunzhong?”

“No,” Luo Ziling firmly denied, “Doesn’t make sense for someone as famous as Kong Que to handle such trivialities, it would be beneath her reputation.”

“Then was she the one who entered Chen Jiahai’s room?”

“Phoenix comrade, did something squeeze your brain?” Luo Ziling reacted with some embarrassment and anger, “Why would you think only those in your Dragon Rise possess superpowers? Think about it, if you can’t even beat me, I can walk sideways at Dragon Rise.”

Phoenix got angry too, staring at Luo Ziling without blinking, “Fine, I’ll remember your words. Next time, I’ll make sure you walk sideways.”
