Chapter 1928: Chapter 1928: Unexpected News

After leaving the hotel, Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan drove away, with Ling Ruonan keeping a tense expression.

She was extremely angry.

To be played by these two old bastards today, the anger in her heart was really beyond words.

Originally, she thought they could have these two old men under control during the negotiation again, but she didn’t expect them to form an alliance and look so confident.

These old men took advantage of the recent incident where Ling Haihang was killed.

Ling Ruonan believed the two old men must be thinking that with the incident of Ling Haihang’s murder, she and Luo Ziling would surely be disliked by the Ling Family and lose everything they currently have,

abandoned by the Ling Family, without their support, they would be nothing—this must be Ishihara Naka and Xu Chongzhi’s belief.

Hence, they dared to provoke so brazenly, not taking them seriously at all.

Ling Ruonan also knew that if they sat down to continue negotiations, the agreement reached that day would surely not be acknowledged by these two old men.

The sense of defeat and humiliation made Ling Ruonan feel a murderous intent inside.

But Luo Ziling’s reaction was entirely different. After leaving with Ling Ruonan, he said with a grin, “Mom, if I say the following drama will be even more exciting, would you believe me?”

Ling Ruonan glared at Luo Ziling with a wary look and asked in a muffled voice, “What are you up to this time?”

“Last time, someone owed me a favor. I’ve asked them to repay it. Hopefully, they can perform satisfactorily.”

“What’s going on?” Ling Ruonan’s frown tightened even further, “Who owes you a favor?”

“Wasn’t there someone who used a secret department against us last time?” Luo Ziling said with a mischievous smile, “They owe me a favor, and I’m afraid they’ll forget if too much time passes, so let’s have them pay it back now. I suspect Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan haven’t been able to leave Huaxia and have been detained.”

“What’s going on exactly?” Ling Ruonan’s eyes became stern.

“After releasing Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan that day, oh, before releasing them actually, I had someone place nano-bugs on them. As a result, there was indeed an unexpected discovery. I shared the recording with the leader from National Security who sought my help last time, initially to scare Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi. I didn’t expect these two old men to be so brazen today, so let’s have them take action and allow these two old men to lose their freedom for a few days. I suspect once they’ve lost their freedom and find their grandson hasn’t returned, they might change their attitude.”

“These two old men are revolting and deserve to learn a lesson.” Ling Ruonan’s eyes glinted coldly, “Since we’ve already involved them, let’s let Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi suffer a bit. I think these two old foxes will understand how to make amends at crucial moments.”

After saying this, she solemnly reminded Luo Ziling: “But there are a few points you must remember. Never let these secret departments involve themselves in our private affairs in the future; it leaves a terrible impression. Also, consult with me before doing anything like this. I don’t want you to hide significant matters from me. Especially if your dad comes back, make sure you inform him of similar things, and try to keep me informed too.”

“Mom, I understand!” Luo Ziling quickly agreed.

At that moment, Luo Ziling’s phone rang.

Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, Luo Ziling already guessed who was calling and answered the phone.

“We’ve taken the people away. Now, how do we proceed, you need to tell us.”

“Thank you. Follow the protocol for now, and as for the end, I’ll handle it in a few days!”

“Alright!” The other party straightforwardly hung up the call.

After hanging up, Luo Ziling smiled at Ling Ruonan and said, “They owe me a favor, and paying it off early is a good thing. Anyway, neither they nor we are targeting our compatriots, so none of us will feel guilty.”

“Just don’t create more trouble.” Ling Ruonan sighed slightly, “Ling Haihang’s death has already caused an uproar. If we cause more chaos, life will be difficult for us.”

“These two old men wanted to take advantage of this incident, thinking that since we’ve gotten into such trouble, we’d be deflated, and even the Ling Family would abandon us. Without the Ling Family’s support, we’re nothing. Therefore, our partnership with them is irrelevant, and that’s why they’re acting this way. So, anyway, we must teach these two old men a lesson, and help them remember this.”

Ling Ruonan thought for a moment and asked Luo Ziling, “How do you plan to get these two old men from National Security?”

“I suspect their foreign affairs department and the embassy in Yanjing will certainly take action. We don’t need to get involved; they’ll get them out themselves.” Luo Ziling chuckled, “Once they get out and find their grandson has lost his freedom again, that’s when we make our move. Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun shouldn’t disappoint us.”

Just when they were speaking, Luo Ziling’s phone rang again.

Not surprisingly, it was Yang Xiaodong calling. Luo Ziling raised his phone and smiled, “Mom, they must be reporting this matter to us.”

As expected, Yang Xiaodong informed Luo Ziling over the phone that Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan had been taken in and were both being held at a place not far from the airport.

Yang Xiaodong planned to move the two to another location after dark.

“In that case, leave these two old men be for a couple of days, and once they are out of National Security’s control, we will contact them.” After making this decision, Ling Ruonan instructed Luo Ziling to have dinner with her at Ling Mingrui’s place tonight.

They needed to discuss everything with Ling Mingrui.

Luo Ziling readily agreed, not refusing.

Subsequently, Ling Ruonan sent Luo Ziling back to school, asking him to act as if nothing happened, living as he did before these days.

Luo Ziling agreed as well.

He asked Ling Ruonan to drop him off at the school entrance.

After dropping Luo Ziling at the school gate, Ling Ruonan left.

To Luo Ziling’s surprise, just as he walked into the school, he saw Yang Qingyin’s car coming in from outside and quickly waved to greet her.

Ye Xiaoli, who was driving, saw Luo Ziling waving and immediately slowed down.

When Yang Qingyin lowered the window to greet him, Luo Ziling opened the car door and got in.

“I was just looking for you,” Yang Qingyin smiled and then lowered her voice, “perhaps Ling Haihang’s death is related to the Fang Family.”

Hearing Yang Qingyin say this, Luo Ziling’s heart skipped a beat.
