Chapter 1937: Chapter 1937: Li Haiyang Pays a Visit

After Luo Liansheng helped treat Ling Jinhua, he left with Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling originally thought Ling Jinhua would keep them for dinner at the old mansion.

But after the treatment, Ling Jinhua fell asleep.

Ling Mingrui left when Ling Jinhua’s treatment was over.

Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling left almost at the same time as Ling Mingrui.

“Didn’t plan on having dinner here,” Luo Liansheng explained with a smile as they got into the car, “Guess by the time the old man wakes up, it’ll be past eight o’clock.”

Hearing his grandfather say this, Luo Ziling roughly understood what he meant.

Luo Liansheng still had reservations about Ling Jinhua; today, even though he helped with the treatment, it was only to fulfill a promise.

This was Luo Liansheng expressing a firm attitude towards Ling Jinhua.

In other words, regarding Ling Haihang’s death, he wasn’t showing any weakness nor accepting any blame from the Ling Family.

Along with the words he sent, Luo Ziling fully understood Luo Liansheng’s intentions.

That is, in Luo Liansheng’s heart, he didn’t take Ling Jinhua too seriously, and he hoped Ling Jinhua wouldn’t stir up any more trouble, as the time left wasn’t much, it was better to enjoy what remained of life.

“Life’s long regret is that joy is fleeting. If he doesn’t understand this at such an age, even younger Luo Liansheng would despise it.”

Luo Liansheng knew that many things were due to Ling Jinhua. Without the old man’s tacit approval or order, many things wouldn’t happen. Many of the troubles Luo Ziling encountered were related to Ling Jinhua’s incitement, which was why Luo Liansheng was angry.

Luo Liansheng harbored resentment towards Ling Jinhua, but it wasn’t convenient to express it directly, so he conveyed it subtly.

People of this age convey their opinions more subtly, which is far more effective than direct expression.

As they left, they encountered Ling Ruonan’s car outside the old mansion.

At the time of dinner, Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling leaving surprised Ling Ruonan.

But she tactfully didn’t ask anything, allowing them to leave together in her car.

On the road, Ling Ruonan didn’t ask much, only chatted casually and had Wuyue book a table for dinner at a nearby hotel.

After returning home, Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling what had happened today.

Luo Ziling didn’t conceal anything and roughly recounted the day’s events, including the conversation with Ling Mingrui.

After explaining, Luo Ziling smiled and said to Ling Ruonan, “Mom, it looks like another thrilling drama is about to unfold. If another son of the Chen Family dies because of this, their reaction will be quite interesting to watch.”

“If this is the doing of the Chen Family, then they are truly on a path to self-destruction.” Ling Ruonan’s face showed a flash of murderous intent. Since someone from the Ling Family was killed and Luo Ziling still couldn’t clear his name, it made her very angry. If the Chen Family was indeed behind it, she would undoubtedly take severe revenge. She immediately instructed Luo Ziling, “Find out the truth about this matter immediately, even if it costs us.”

“Mom, should we spread the news that the Chen Family might be involved?”

After thinking for a moment, Ling Ruonan shook her head, “Don’t spread it. Keep it strictly confidential. If we gather conclusive evidence or Chen Jiahu confesses, then spread the news.”

Luo Ziling understood Ling Ruonan’s intentions and immediately agreed.

Ling Ruonan didn’t give further instructions, only telling Luo Ziling to inform her immediately once the news was confirmed.

“Okay,” Luo Ziling naturally agreed and made a request, “Grandpa, Mom, let me handle this matter alone. I believe I can get to the bottom of it.”

Ling Ruonan didn’t object, and Luo Liansheng certainly had no opinion.

After a while, the food ordered from the hotel arrived.

The meal Wuyue ordered was quite abundant, consisting of eight dishes and a soup.

After setting the table, the three were about to sit down.

Luo Ziling’s phone rang, showing an unfamiliar number, and he was reluctant to answer.

But after hesitating for a moment, he eventually picked it up.

“This is Li Haiyang,” a deep male voice came through the moment the call connected, “I wanted to visit your grandfather and mother, wondering if it’s convenient now?”

“Uh, it’s you, senior… I’m so surprised,” Luo Ziling smiled awkwardly and, seeing Ling Ruonan slightly nod, immediately replied, “Of course it’s convenient. How could it not be? Have you had dinner yet, senior? If not, come join us for dinner and a drink. I have some excellent Yue State Yellow Wine at home.”

“No problem,” Li Haiyang readily agreed. “I’ll be there in twenty minutes!”

After hanging up, Luo Ziling said with a wry smile, “It’s strange, why would Li Haiyang suddenly want to visit us?”

“How many people are coming?” Ling Ruonan’s key consideration was different from Luo Ziling’s, “Is it just him, or are there several people?”

“Forgot to ask,” Luo Ziling felt a bit embarrassed, “I think it’s just him coming?”

“Not necessarily,” Ling Ruonan shook her head, “It seems the food might not be enough. Anyway, they’re not here yet, and there are ingredients in the fridge, I’ll make two more dishes.”

“Mom, let me help you,” Luo Ziling also stood up, “Let’s wait for them a bit!”

“I’ll take a stroll in the garden,” Luo Liansheng also put down his chopsticks, speaking with a meaningful tone: “Li Haiyang hasn’t made a public appearance in a long time. Every public appearance he makes holds special significance. His visit today surely isn’t as simple as a casual call.”

“Grandpa, later I’ll bring out the good wine you brought for them to enjoy with you. As a younger person, he should accompany you for a few drinks!”

“He’s certainly the junior, but his identity is quite sensitive. If he brings a few others along, the intentions behind it will be intriguing,” Luo Liansheng chuckled and didn’t wait for Luo Ziling’s response, walking out of the dining room and into the garden.

After some thought, Luo Ziling took out his phone and called Lin Lan.

After ringing a few times, the call was hung up.

Lin Lan actually didn’t answer the phone, which made Luo Ziling a bit frustrated, but thinking she might be in a situation where she couldn’t answer, he didn’t mind.

However, soon his phone pinged with a text message.

“I’m coming over with the head.”

Seeing Lin Lan’s message, Luo Ziling felt a surge of joy.

Finally being able to see Lin Lan, her willingness to come today suggested she had updates to share.

Even without concrete investigative results, there should be some report, right?

Luo Ziling thought of another matter, that before going to the Ling Family Old Mansion, he had instructed Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun to contact Lin Lan, wondering if they had managed to reach her.

After some contemplation, Luo Ziling replied to Lin Lan’s message, “How many are coming with you?”

“Three!”

“Who else?”

But after sending this message, he received no reply from Lin Lan.

Who could the other person be?

Phoenix perhaps?
