Chapter 1681: Chapter 1681: Bringing Troops to Demand Justice

By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already 1 PM.

The delegation members were preparing to gather and head to the afternoon activity location.

Luo Ziling got out of the car and went to find the delegation leader, Hu Wenjun, to report on what had happened today.

Hearing Luo Ziling say that he was going to compete in medical skills with Korea’s most renowned “Medical Sage,” Xu Chongzhi, Hu Wenjun couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

“Today’s schedule has changed; there will be a medical skills competition in the afternoon, held at their Korean Medicine Culture Museum,” Hu Wenjun frowned, “Could it be that the Koreans changed the plan because of your issue with Xu Chongzhi?”

“I don’t know either,” Luo Ziling shook his head.

“We arranged for He Lan, Wang Xuyun, Cheng Bushi, and Dong Qichang to face the challenge. Since you’ve already discussed the competition details with Xu Chongzhi, that’s fine.” Hu Wenjun didn’t pursue the matter further, a slight smile on his face as he said, “Since they want to make a big deal out of it, let them. After today’s event, we’ll jointly host a press conference to announce your competition details and reveal today’s competition results.”

“Commander Hu, trust in our medical proficiency being superior to the Koreans. Don’t worry that we might lose,” Luo Ziling said confidently.

Hu Wenjun nodded, indicating his trust in what Luo Ziling was saying.

He told Luo Ziling to hurry back to his room and get ready; they were departing soon.

Luo Ziling didn’t linger in the lobby much longer and took the elevator back to the room with Luo Yuqing and Yang Qingyin.

Lin Lan had already left without leaving any information for Luo Ziling.

This was typical of Lin Lan’s style, so Luo Ziling wasn’t surprised.

Today was the weekend; Korean staff were supposed to have the day off, but due to today’s event, they had to work overtime.

The Korean staff were quite dedicated; in this reception, they didn’t make any mistakes and arranged everything well.

Before Luo Ziling and his companions went downstairs to gather, the Korean staff even came to notify their rooms, reminding them not to be late and to depart on time.

After a little preparation, taking the necessary tools, and waiting for Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing to finish their makeup, the three took the elevator down to the lobby to meet up.

As Luo Ziling, Luo Yuqing, and Yang Qingyin headed to the afternoon event location with the rest of the delegation, in an older courtyard in Yanjing, a few elders were sitting, drinking tea.

They did not appear to be enjoying the tea.

“Old Ling, I don’t care what you’re planning, but there’s something I’d like to remind you,” said Luo Liansheng, sitting as the head, in an unfriendly tone to Ling Jinhua, who sat at the upper position, “No matter what, you must ensure my grandson’s safety. I believe I’ve completely fulfilled my promise from back then, and I allowed you to use my grandson as a whetstone. Things have turned out this way because of your overconfidence. If this continues, don’t blame me for disregarding the old promise; this matter has crossed my bottom line several times.”

Sitting at the upper position, Ling Jinhua silently drank tea and said nothing.

Ling Mingrui, sitting with Luo Liansheng, also silently drank tea, but seeing Luo Liansheng’s anger becoming evident, he had to speak up: “In-law, this matter isn’t as serious as you think. Don’t be angry; after all, things have gotten a bit complicated.”

Seeing Luo Liansheng’s barely concealed anger, Ling Mingrui could only offer a wry smile.

Today, Ling Mingrui had a rare peaceful day off and was planning to relax at home. Who would have thought he’d get a call from Ling Jinhua’s Secretary, Huang Chen, who informed him that Luo Liansheng had gone to the old residence, and Ling Jinhua wanted him over immediately.

Upon hearing this, Ling Mingrui didn’t dare delay and rushed over immediately.

He understood Luo Liansheng’s temperament. Given Luo Liansheng’s current state, unless he was at his wit’s end, he wouldn’t have gone to confront Ling Jinhua. Luo Liansheng didn’t seek him first but went directly to Ling Jinhua, indicating the gravity of the situation.

Ling Mingrui could even guess why Luo Liansheng was here to enrage Ling Jinhua today.

It was probably Luo Ziling’s encounters in Japan that provoked him.

Ling Mingrui was aware of Luo Ziling encountering trouble in Japan, with assassins targeting him, and the assassins were likely hired by the Chen Family.

Later, he encountered other groups attempting to kill him.

Luo Liansheng must have had enough after learning of these events, leading him to storm over to Ling Jinhua’s place today.

Luo Liansheng was here today to check on Ling Jinhua’s health, but before the check-up, they had already reached a stalemate.

Luo Liansheng’s point was that regardless of what Luo Ziling had done, even if Chen Jiahai and Yang Yunzhong were removed by his hands, the Ling Family must ensure Luo Ziling’s safety. If anything were to happen to Luo Ziling, he and Luo Xusheng would turn Yanjing upside down, and nobody would have a good time.

After Luo Ziling returned, Luo Liansheng remained very low-key.

But his low profile was merely a temporary endurance, intending to give Luo Ziling a chance to be tempered.

No matter how well-trained, without real-world experience, one cannot grow. Luo Ziling had faced several attacks after returning to Yanjing, and Luo Liansheng did not intervene; this should be the mindset. But now, the conflicts have intensified.

When Luo Ziling was positioned on the stage, Luo Liansheng maintained his low profile. After the incidents involving Chen Jiahai and Yang Yunzhong, he did not make a move or statement. Even though Luo Ziling was not in Yanjing at the moment, storms still brewed there. Luo Liansheng refused to remain silent any longer, using this time when Luo Ziling was away to unmistakably present his stance to Ling Jinhua.

His way of expressing his stance was quite special and direct, offering no face to Ling Jinhua and disregarding Ling Mingrui.

Ling Mingrui knew his father was not likely to express an opinion, so he had to speak up.

“When they wanted my grandson dead, did you consider that if he had slightly worse luck, he’d be gone? If he had died, you wouldn’t see it as trouble, but now that others have died, you see it as a big problem. Haha, you really treat my grandson as an outcast from your hearts,” Luo Liansheng gave no face to Ling Mingrui or Ling Jinhua. “I repeat, if you want to use him as a whetstone, I have no objections. But if anything happens to him, no one will survive. What’s said, I can definitely do.”

While speaking, Luo Liansheng abruptly stood up.

Seeing Luo Liansheng preparing to leave in anger, Ling Mingrui hurriedly stood up and grabbed him, “In-law, don’t be upset, let’s talk this out.”

“Your grandson is quite capable,” Ling Jinhua finally spoke, “It’s just that he’s a bit stubborn, and his actions are a bit reckless. With some more polishing, he’ll be a fine talent. Let’s put this incident behind us, shall we?”

“Alright,” Luo Liansheng took the opportunity to back down, “I’ll remember your words today. If this issue resurfaces, or if someone repeatedly threatens my grandson’s life, I won’t endure it anymore. I can make sure the fish die and the net breaks. Goodbye!”

Saying this, without waiting for Ling Jinhua to say more, he strode away.
