Chapter 1732: Chapter 1732: Ling Ruonan Is Angry

(Twelfth Update)

Yang Qingyin stayed in the hospital with Chen Qiaoyu, while Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing left the hospital together to go home.

“Who could have done it?” In the car on the way back, Luo Yuqing asked Luo Ziling, “Don’t tell me you don’t know. Surely you have a suspect in mind.”

“I really don’t know,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “It happened suddenly, there are no clues, and since it targeted Yang Qingye, it’s hard to make a judgment.”

“Which family do you suspect the most?” Luo Yuqing was relentless, continuing to press.

“The Ling Family,” Luo Ziling hesitated for a while before finally voicing his suspicion, “Of course, it might not be accurate.”

“Why do you think that?” Luo Yuqing seemed very surprised, “I thought you would say it was the Chen Family.”

Luo Ziling didn’t keep her in suspense and explained his reasoning, “The Chen Family people wouldn’t bother with such petty things anymore, the Fang Family probably wouldn’t either, and for the Yang Family, it’s unlikely unless it was someone loyal to Yang Yunzhong, but since Yang Yunzhong is dead, those loyal to him might not remain, so the possibility is low.”

Luo Yuqing thought about it and agreed with Luo Ziling’s assessment; indeed, it was most likely the Ling Family.

“If it really was the Ling Family, then what will you do?” Luo Yuqing asked Luo Ziling in a low voice, “Are you going to avenge Yang Qingye?”

“The Yang Family will definitely take action, so I won’t need to,” Luo Ziling said, and then he was startled by his own thought.

If his suspicion was true and the Ling Family was behind it, leading to a renewed conflict between the Ling and Yang families, worsening further, what would the outcome be? His relationship with the Yang Family would surely deteriorate again due to the Ling and Yang families’ fight, and Yang Yunlin would believe he was involved in the incident.

“If that’s really the case, then… maybe someone will leak the news and reignite the Ling and Yang family dispute,” Luo Ziling sighed inwardly, “If the Ling Family really did it, what was their purpose? To escalate the Ling and Yang conflict, or to force the Luo Family into a dilemma? With renewed conflict between the Ling and Yang families, the Ling Family’s interests would surely suffer. Would they want that?”

These thoughts, he did not share with Luo Yuqing, just sighed internally, and Luo Yuqing didn’t question him further.

Upon returning to Ling Ruonan’s villa, Luo Liansheng, who was reading a medical book in the study, came out when he heard them.

“You’re back,” seeing his grandchildren return, Luo Liansheng looked full of affection, “I got back a little earlier than you.”

Ling Ruonan wasn’t there, so Luo Yuqing felt less pressured. When she saw Luo Liansheng, she immediately rushed over, holding his arm and started acting spoiled. Tonight, she was going to stay here, as Ling Ruonan wasn’t around to keep an eye on her.

“What’s going on exactly?” Luo Liansheng gestured for Luo Ziling to sit on the sofa, wanting to understand today’s situation.

Yang Yuanshan hadn’t told Luo Liansheng about Yang Qingye being attacked, as Old Sir Yang didn’t want to discuss it with him, being not quite clear on the details at the time.

Luo Liansheng didn’t proactively inquire about it, not even asking about Yang Qingye’s injury.

After having dinner and some old wine with Yang Yuanshan, Luo Liansheng took his leave.

He was waiting for Luo Ziling to come back so that he could learn the specifics of what happened.

Luo Ziling didn’t hold back and roughly explained the day’s events to Luo Liansheng, also sharing his suspicions.

After hearing it, Luo Liansheng chuckled, “Perhaps your suspicion is correct.”

“If we improve relations with the Yang Family, many won’t be pleased,” Luo Ziling also chuckled, “Those who don’t want to see us doing well certainly don’t want us to reconcile with the Yang Family. I suspect they’ll continue with minor actions. Those with slightly lower standing in the Ling Family might hope for greater conflict between our families, allowing them to fish in troubled waters and gain their own benefits.”

Luo Liansheng chuckled, “The fact that you think this way shows you’re making progress.”

Luo Ziling also chuckled and didn’t continue the topic.

Luo Yuqing sat quietly listening to Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng, without interrupting.

After they finished, Luo Yuqing finally spoke, “Grandfather, if this is true, then how should we respond?”

“It depends on how smart the Yang Family is,” Luo Liansheng smiled slightly, “We’re not afraid of anything; they need us now. So there’s no need to worry. As long as the Yang Family’s head and the Ling Family’s head are smart enough, such little tricks won’t fool them, and there won’t be any trouble because of it.”

Then, he instructed Luo Ziling, “If you have time, after your mom returns tomorrow, go visit your Great Grandfather and grandfather. You’ve accomplished so much outside and earned honor, and as elders, they should reward you.”

“I understand,” Luo Ziling got Luo Liansheng’s point and immediately agreed, “I’ll ask my mom in a bit. If she comes back early tomorrow, we’ll go visit the two elders in the evening. I’ve been back for several days without greeting them, which is not right.”

After saying this, Luo Yuqing held onto Luo Liansheng’s arm, saying she wanted to talk privately and asked Luo Ziling to go call Ling Ruonan. Luo Ziling knew Luo Yuqing wanted to discuss something, as she had mentioned some things to him today, and she needed Luo Liansheng’s advice or support. After all, these were not trivial matters.

Luo Yuqing had ambition, and Luo Ziling fully acknowledged that.

He didn’t express anything special; after all, they were family. It was a good thing that his sister was capable and could achieve something.

Returning to his room, Luo Ziling called Ling Ruonan.

The call was quickly connected.

“Ling’er,” Ling Ruonan’s voice came through the receiver, “Finally thought to give me a call.”

“Just checking in, when will you be back?” Luo Ziling said, “Grandfather just mentioned, if you return early tomorrow, we should go see Great Grandfather and Grandfather in the evening.”

“Our flight is tomorrow noon, and if there are no delays, we should arrive in Yanjing around four in the afternoon. If it’s on time, we’ll go directly to see Great Grandfather,” Ling Ruonan said, slightly lowering her voice, “How’s Yang Qingye’s condition? Is it serious?”

“Not lightly hurt, but out of danger. I’ll explain in detail when you return,” Luo Ziling didn’t want to say more about Yang Qingye over the phone. Instead, he brought up what Luo Yuqing mentioned today, finding it more urgent, and Luo Yuqing was probably eager to know Ling Ruonan’s stance.

To his surprise, after hearing Luo Yuqing’s plan, Ling Ruonan flatly rejected it, “No, I have my own plans for that.”

“What plans?” Luo Ziling was quite surprised at Ling Ruonan’s firmness.

“I’ve already discussed a plan with Ouyang Feifei, so Yuqing doesn’t need to get involved.”

“Why?”

“Ouyang Feifei is more capable and experienced in handling such matters.”

“But she’s my sister, Grandfather’s granddaughter!”

There was a long silence on the other end before Ling Ruonan finally replied, “We’ll discuss this further when I return.”

“Alright then,” Luo Ziling detected a hint of annoyance in Ling Ruonan’s words.

Ling Ruonan was upset!
