Chapter 1633: Chapter 1633: Lin Lan Left

The meeting concluded in less than half an hour.

After the meeting, Hu Wenjun, Wang Rongshan, and several other officials responsible for team management left together.

They headed to Hu Wenjun’s room to discuss the arrangements for tomorrow on a smaller scale.

Among these people, several had previously led delegations alone, but they had never encountered a situation like this.

Some put the blame on Luo Ziling, believing it was his fault and that if he hadn’t stirred things up, matters wouldn’t have turned out this way.

But Hu Wenjun ignored the complaints of these members and instead told everyone that since things had already come to this, complaining was useless. The key was how to respond next. It’s important to understand that tomorrow’s arrangements have also changed, and the Japanese side has even brought in the elder of the Ishihara Family, intending to overshadow our Huaxia delegation. He informed the others that after the incidents of yesterday and today, the Japanese side was embarrassed and angry, eager to regain face. What we need to consider now is how to counterattack reasonably, beneficially, and with restraint so that the Japanese side keeps suffering losses.

Moreover, it is crucial to make the Japanese side openly admit defeat and apologize, and also not allow them to protest.

“I think we should let Luo Ziling step forward,” Wu Mingyun expressed with great confidence in his student, “The Japanese side has already recognized his medical skills, and he has received their promise: as long as he can cure that patient poisoned by Paraquat, they will apologize and admit that we have an advantage over them in traditional medicine.”

“That’s just a personal promise,” Hu Wenjun waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t take the agreement between Luo Ziling and Koizumi Miyaning seriously.

He already knew that Koizumi Miyaning was the youngest son of Tokyo Governor Koizumi Seiro but understood that in Japan, the children of high-ranking officials don’t have any special privileges and can’t interfere in such political events. Even if Koizumi Miyaning agreed, he wouldn’t be able to fulfill the promise.

“Even if they can’t fulfill the promise, we already have a video recording of the scene at the time,” Wu Mingyun insisted on his point, “I believe that as long as the poisoned patient’s condition stabilizes, then Ziling will have created a miracle, proving his medical skills with his actions, and also proving that the medical skills of our renowned Huaxia traditional doctors surpass those of Japan’s traditional medical experts.”

After saying these words, Wu Mingyun continued, “Since Luo Ziling dares to do this, it shows he has something to rely on, whether in medical skills or other aspects. So, we don’t need to worry about him.”

Wu Mingyun’s words, with hidden meanings, caused Hu Wenjun to fall silent again.

In the end, he nodded, “Dean Wu makes sense. If the Japanese side maintains this attitude tomorrow, then we’ll act accordingly.”

No one else had anything to add, and everyone dispersed.

After leaving the meeting room, Luo Ziling headed straight back to his room.

When he returned, Lin Lan and Shanque had already packed their bags and were preparing to leave.

“Do you two need some private time to say goodbye?” Shanque teased Luo Ziling and Lin Lan with a giggle: “Otherwise, I can wait downstairs.”

Lin Lan shot an angry glare at Shanque, which made Shanque shut her mouth.

“We’re leaving,” Lin Lan smiled as she looked at Luo Ziling, “Tomorrow, I won’t be able to act as your translator anymore.”

“I’m a little regretful,” Luo Ziling chuckled, “No one else will be able to accurately translate what I mean.”

“Are you planning to continue this way tomorrow?” Lin Lan whispered to Luo Ziling.

“I think there might not be such an opportunity tomorrow,” Luo Ziling replied with a bitter smile, “During the meeting, many people seemed to harbor prejudice against me, as if I had embarrassed them, believing it was natural for the Japanese to bully us. We should consider the bigger picture and not engage in conflicts with them, or it’ll damage unity. Their view is that if the Japanese overstep, we can protest; if we overstep, it’s a breach of etiquette.”

“There are quite a few fellow citizens with such a mindset,” Shanque sighed from the side, “They’re afraid of taking responsibility. They just want to return home safely and don’t care whether we’ve lost face. As long as there’s no conflict and everything proceeds smoothly, it’s a success. Even if we’re bullied, the incident can be obscured with crafted words. I think after yesterday and today’s events, the Japanese consider you a formidable person worthy of respect, but some of our people see you as a troublemaker, feeling you’ve disrupted stability and unity, frightening them into fearing possible reprimands upon returning home.”

Luo Ziling chuckled at Shanque, fully agreeing with her comments.

“But you don’t care,” Shanque had no intention of stopping, displaying her love for talking: “You’re not afraid of trouble for yourself. This time, you want to cause a big stir, letting more people recognize your abilities… but then again, you’re not aiming to be a leader or achieve great success in medicine. I really don’t understand what your ultimate goal is.”

“I just find the Japanese annoying, being deceived feels even worse. When I’m displeased, I want to hit and scold people.”

“….” Shanque looked speechlessly at Luo Ziling, not knowing what to say.

“If I’m not mistaken, Ishihara Naka will definitely show up tomorrow,” Lin Lan calmly remarked without being affected emotionally by Shanque’s words, “There will surely be many interesting events, though I won’t have the chance to see them. However, one thing is certain: as long as the condition of the patient you’re saving doesn’t worsen, you’ll hold the upper hand. You can definitely depend on Koizumi Miyaning and Ishihara Naka.”

“I understand,” Luo Ziling grasped the meaning behind Lin Lan’s words.

“Then we’re off,” Lin Lan said, disregarding Shanque by her side, stepped close to Luo Ziling, and opened her arms to hug him.

While hugging Luo Ziling, Lin Lan whispered, “Don’t forget about our Emergency Rescue System.”

Luo Ziling nodded and hugged Lin Lan tightly.

Shanque stood nearby, smiling as she watched the two embrace.

After a moment, Lin Lan released herself from Luo Ziling’s embrace.

Luo Ziling then turned toward Shanque. Before she could react, he pulled her into an embrace. As Shanque stood there startled, he whispered a reminder, “Please don’t let Kong Que get hurt again, okay?”

Upon hearing this from Luo Ziling, Shanque finally snapped back to reality, returned the embrace lightly, and smiled, “I know.”

Luo Ziling didn’t see Lin Lan and Shanque off as they left. They couldn’t walk together with Luo Ziling, or it might cause trouble.

After they left, Luo Ziling felt a bit lost, sitting in a daze on the sofa for quite some time.

While he was zoning out on the sofa, his phone beeped with a message.

He picked it up to see it was from Ouyang Feifei.

“I’m flying to Tokyo tonight, boarding soon.”
