Chapter 1588: Chapter 1588 Luo Ziling’s Methods

Seeing Luo Ziling speak so confidently, Yang Xiaodong still didn’t quite believe him.

However, he didn’t express his disbelief, he simply asked Luo Ziling what he planned to do next.

“Let’s go,” Luo Ziling said as he started heading out, “We’ve been busy for so long, I’m hungry, it’s time to go back and have dinner. Oh, I forgot I had dinner already, let’s go have a late-night snack. You all must be hungry too, I’m treating. How about going for barbecue?”

“You decide,” Yang Xiaodong said with a wry smile.

Luo Ziling invited Luo Yuqing to join for the late-night snack, but Luo Yuqing didn’t seem very interested.

“I’m not hungry,” Luo Yuqing shook her head, but after glancing at Luo Ziling, she softened her tone, “I’ll go with you and eat a little.”

Luo Ziling chuckled, took Luo Yuqing’s hand, and walked toward the parking area.

When they reached the parking area, as Luo Ziling was about to open the car door and get in, his phone rang. Seeing it was an unknown number, he gave Yang Xiaodong a peculiar smile. Yang Xiaodong understood the meaning behind Luo Ziling’s strange smile and didn’t interrupt, instead urging Luo Yuqing to get in the car.

Luo Ziling walked aside and answered the phone.

“Is this Ziling?” A steady male voice came through the phone from the other side.

“It was easy for your people to find my phone number and all my details, even locate me. Just say what you want, don’t waste time, I’m going to have a late-night snack.”

“…” The person on the other end didn’t expect Luo Ziling to be so direct and fell silent for a while.

“If you don’t speak, I’m hanging up.”

“Could this matter be settled just like that?” The other person knew Luo Ziling was teasing him but could only voice his request.

“Look, you called me for a request, you should at least introduce yourself. I remember our teacher taught us not introducing ourselves is impolite, right?” After joking, Luo Ziling suddenly turned serious, “I knew someone would call, that’s why I let them go. Otherwise, I would surely get a commitment before letting them go.”

Silence fell on the other end once again.

Luo Ziling said nothing more and just listened quietly.

After a while, the person finally spoke up, stating his identity and a code name Luo Ziling was unaware of.

“I apologize, it was presumptuous of us, but we had no choice, hope you understand. After today, such incidents won’t happen again, I assure you. We can rightly withdraw from this under-the-table contest. You know, we shouldn’t be involved in this sort of thing, but we had to be. Hope you understand. Also, hope Mr. Luo will delete the video, and this matter will be finished. Consider it a favor from me!”

“Alright,” hearing him say that, Luo Ziling immediately agreed, “Since you’ve put it this way, I’ll give you face. We’ll all act as if this never happened. Just hope you remember the things you said tonight.”

“Thank you!”

“Goodbye.” Although he didn’t hear the person promise again, when the person thanked him, Luo Ziling hung up the phone.

His rank wasn’t low, high enough to surprise him. Since he voiced the request and promised this won’t happen again, they wouldn’t be involved in such fights anymore, so he surely gave them face.

After hanging up, Luo Ziling got into the car.

Yang Xiaodong didn’t ask who called, and Luo Yuqing, though curious, didn’t ask either.

Though Luo Yuqing was once a part of the elite, she hadn’t been involved in matters like this.

Previously, she was just a student with an unusual family background, with little contact with society. After becoming a Luo family member, her interaction with society increased dramatically. She knew today’s matter was troublesome, too troublesome for her to handle.

She’s a girl with a strong sense of curiosity, wanting to understand everything happening around her.

Luo Ziling actually took Luo Yuqing to have barbecue but ordered her a stomach-friendly porridge, and reminded her to eat less barbecue.

“If you won’t let me eat barbecue, why bring me here?” Luo Yuqing asked indignantly.

“Because having a late-night snack completes the nightlife.”

“…” Luo Yuqing stared at Luo Ziling for a while, finally couldn’t think of a response and let it go.

While having the snack, Ling Ruonan called, asking when they’d be back.

Luo Ziling replied, after finishing the late-night snack, he’d head back.

Since Ling Ruonan’s call urged them, Luo Ziling didn’t stay out longer.

Initially, he thought he’d receive a few calls while having the snack, but disappointingly, he didn’t.

Back at the villa, Ling Ruonan and Luo Liansheng were still sitting in the living room waiting.

They seemed to be discussing something important since their expressions appeared quite serious.

“More trouble?” Seeing Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing return, Ling Ruonan immediately stood up to greet them, “Tell me the details.”

“Nothing much, similar to last time’s incident,” Luo Ziling smiled, “I guess, we won’t have such trouble in the future.”

“So that’s how it is,” Ling Ruonan nodded, “I think they will retreat knowing it’s difficult, and take the opportunity to step back, because those doing these things fear being schemed against and reported, after all, we are not easy to bully, if it escalates, they will have a hard time.”

Ling Ruonan paused, then said, “But I’m worried, that is, they’ve seen our methods, which might lead them to suspect more that we are behind these things.”

“Mom, even if we don’t show any tactics, they will still think it’s us. But it can’t be said that having abilities means one would do such things, just like rape cases are usually committed by men, but it doesn’t mean men have weaponry for a crime, hence potential for rape.” After saying this, Luo Ziling realized his analogy was inappropriate and quickly stepped back a few steps.

“Awful analogy,” Luo Yuqing blushed, chastising Luo Ziling, “To say such vulgar words in front of us.”

“Crude words but truthful,” Luo Ziling defended himself, then sat next to Luo Liansheng, and smilingly asked, “Grandpa, aren’t you bored all alone at home?”

“Not really,” Luo Liansheng smiled warmly, then patted Luo Ziling’s hand, urging him to rest early, “It’s late, go to sleep early. Tomorrow night, accompany me to your Grandpa’s for dinner. Just the two of us!”

Luo Liansheng taking him to Ling Mingrui’s for dinner didn’t surprise Luo Ziling, what surprised him was the specific mention of going as a duo.

What’s the meaning behind this?

Not even taking Ling Ruonan, is it to cause a scene?
