Chapter 1933: Chapter 1933: Was It Really Just an Accident?

Because of Fang Dongxun’s arrival, Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei stayed at the café for nearly two hours before leaving.

As they were leaving, Ouyang Feifei also invited Luo Ziling to have a meal at their home.

“Grandfather hasn’t been feeling well these past two days, and he’s been talking about you and your grandfather. If you have time, come over for a meal, chat a bit, and help treat my grandfather’s illness by the way.”

Luo Ziling naturally couldn’t refuse. He only said he would decide after asking his grandfather when he got back.

Since Wuyue hadn’t returned and both Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun were busy, Luo Ziling left the café in Ouyang Feifei’s car.

“You need to discuss something with my mom, right?” Luo Ziling asked Ouyang Feifei with a smile as he got into the car, “Otherwise, you wouldn’t have chosen to meet here.”

Ouyang Feifei didn’t deny it.

“Then I’ll go see my mom too!” Luo Ziling smiled, not taking Ouyang Feifei’s displeasure seriously.

Ouyang Feifei’s car stopped directly at the lobby entrance. After getting out, they walked through the lobby together toward the private elevator.

The handsome man and beautiful woman together attracted countless gazes.

But neither of them paid attention to the looks from others and quickly crossed the lobby and entered the elevator.

The new assistant Jin Yan received the message and greeted Ouyang Feifei at the elevator door, taking her directly to Ling Ruonan’s office.

“You’ve got the better treatment,” Luo Ziling teased Ouyang Feifei while following Jin Yan to the office, “Every time I come to my mom’s place, someone comes to welcome you.”

“Since when did you become so nagging?” Ouyang Feifei coldly retorted.

“I just like to tease pretty girls.” Luo Ziling said quite frankly, “If you weren’t pretty, I wouldn’t bother joking with you.”

Jin Yan, walking in front, almost burst out laughing at this statement.

She knew Ouyang Feifei’s character. This beautiful woman, who was very famous in Yanjing’s business circles, had a very cold personality, and no one dared to speak carelessly or joke in front of her, let alone tease her.

Luo Ziling was probably the first and only one.

Jin Yan was very worried that Ouyang Feifei might lose her temper in public or show some other displeasure, which would make things awkward for everyone.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Feifei didn’t mind at all, and her expression didn’t change in the slightest, as if she hadn’t heard Luo Ziling’s words.

“Does it make you happy when you’re called beautiful?” Luo Ziling teased Ouyang Feifei a few more times, “It seems that all women are vain and like to hear compliments.”

“Don’t you like to hear compliments?” Ouyang Feifei finally couldn’t resist and retorted to Luo Ziling.

“Bitter medicine cures, truth stings the ear,” Luo Ziling confidently said, “As someone in the pharmaceutical field, I deeply understand the truth of the former, so I’m different from you. I not only like to hear praises, but I also like to hear people point out my shortcomings. That’s the difference in realm, got it?”

Jin Yan finally couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud with a “pfft.”

She immediately felt it wasn’t right, blushed, and quickly opened the door to Ling Ruonan’s office, inviting the two inside.

After giving Luo Ziling a glance, Ouyang Feifei still said nothing and quickly stepped into Ling Ruonan’s office.

Luo Ziling, feeling triumphant, gave the slightly blushing Jin Yan a look before following Ouyang Feifei into Ling Ruonan’s office.

“Ran into trouble again?” Seeing Luo Ziling come in, Ling Ruonan immediately stood up and asked with concern, “What’s going on? Were you hurt?”

Wuyue had already reported the situation to Ling Ruonan, and after hearing that Luo Ziling was unharmed, Ling Ruonan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn’t call Luo Ziling to ask about it but instructed Wuyue to find out as soon as possible whether it was a deliberate murder or if the driver had a sudden malicious intent to rob and kill.

She knew that Luo Ziling would definitely come to her with Ouyang Feifei, and some matters are better asked in person.

After hearing what Luo Ziling said, Ling Ruonan solemnly reminded, “In the future, no matter what, always take a few people with you when you go out.”

“Mom, it’s not Wuyue’s fault, nor Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun’s. They had things to do, and I was originally planning to go to class.” Luo Ziling pointed at Ouyang Feifei, “She called saying she wanted to discuss something, so I just casually took a car over. I didn’t expect the driver to have malicious intent.”

“Alright, I’m not blaming anyone. Just be careful in the future.” Ling Ruonan sat down on the sofa, then asked Ouyang Feifei, “What’s the important matter you came to discuss today?”

Ouyang Feifei repeated what she had just told Luo Ziling to Ling Ruonan and then added, “This could be a trap.”

Luo Ziling briefly recounted the visit from Fang Dongxun and what he had said.

After speaking, he asked Ling Ruonan, “Mom, what do you think is going on?”

Ling Ruonan didn’t reply immediately but fell into deep thought.

Neither Luo Ziling nor Ouyang Feifei disturbed her thinking, quietly sitting and drinking tea.

About ten minutes later, Ling Ruonan came out of her reverie.

“It seems this matter is much more complicated than we thought,” Ling Ruonan sighed slightly, “Anything is possible. The exact situation needs further investigation to determine.”

With Ouyang Feifei present, some things were inconvenient for Ling Ruonan to say, so her words were somewhat obscure.

Luo Ziling sensibly refrained from asking further.

After a short while, Wuyue returned.

“It might just be an accident,” Wuyue summarized the investigation results of today’s incident after coming in.

The driver got angry seeing Luo Ziling being indifferent to him, so he wanted to teach him a lesson. Seeing that Luo Ziling was well-dressed, he also wanted to rob him, which led to the subsequent events.

Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling was a “martial arts master,” who easily shattered the car window glass and subdued the driver.

“If it’s just an accident, then that’s good,” Ling Ruonan sighed with relief and immediately instructed Wuyue, “There are too many things going on lately. Stay alert at all times and prevent any accidents. Many eyes are watching us, and even if it’s just an accident, those who want to target us might use such incidents to make a fuss or directly participate.”

“Understood, Miss.” Wuyue quickly agreed.

Wuyue then left Ling Ruonan’s office, and Luo Ziling used the excuse of not wanting to disturb Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei with their business talk to leave with Wuyue.

After leaving Ling Ruonan’s office, Luo Ziling asked Wuyue, “Is the matter really that simple? No one else involved, just the driver acting on impulse?”

“Yes,” Wuyue nodded, “However, that driver has done similar things several times before. He’s harassed female passengers and may have committed more severe crimes.”

“So, we’ve done the police a big favor by helping them catch a criminal with a long history of offenses?”

“Pretty much,” Wuyue nodded.

“The police should reward me,” Luo Ziling laughed and said to Wuyue, “I risked my life to help them catch a suspect and solve some cases. They should recognize my contribution. Then I can post this on Weibo and gain some popularity.”

Wuyue was rendered speechless by Luo Ziling’s words.
