Chapter 1945: Chapter 1945: Things Begin to Ferment

On the way back, Luo Ziling asked Ling Ruonan with some confusion, “Mom, what do you think Grandpa’s intentions are?”

“Grandpa considers things more thoroughly than we do. He wants this situation to be handled more perfectly, and he won’t miss this opportunity. He will definitely make the Chen Family pay a huge price. Your grandpa will surely use this perfect opportunity to maximize the benefits. He guessed your thoughts; you want Ling Zhengmin to step up and take on everything, so you can stay out of it and avoid making a direct appearance and confrontation. Ling Zhengmin harbors deep hatred in his heart, and once he catches the enemy who killed his son, he will definitely punish them privately, thereby getting himself deeply involved and facing trouble. This way, the whole Ling Family could get dragged in. Your grandpa doesn’t want the Ling Family to encounter more troubles, so he rejected your plan. Anyway, after this matter, Grandpa will regard you differently, which is a good thing. You want to use Ling Zhengmin and the Ling Family for your gain, but there will be opportunities in the future. After this incident, Ling Zhengmin will also feel grateful to you and at least express some thanks.”

Hearing what Ling Ruonan said, Luo Ziling sighed helplessly and ultimately said nothing.

After returning, he immediately instructed Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun to hand over Chen Jiahu and the other involved people to the person sent by Ling Mingrui to take over.

Last night, after capturing Chen Jiahu and interrogating him, Yang Xiaodong, Wang Zhenjun, and Wuyue didn’t stop but continued with their actions. Those directly involved in the planning and participation in Ling Haihang’s murder were also captured, and a lot of important evidence was gathered.

After receiving Luo Ziling’s instructions, Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun handed over some people and the evidence to them.

Of course, Luo Ziling kept the most important witnesses and evidence with himself, knowing he had to keep some cards in his hand.

Otherwise, the situation would definitely get out of his control, and he would be very passive later on.

Eventually, Luo Ziling followed Ling Ruonan’s instruction to attend school as usual.

Originally, Luo Ziling didn’t want to attend classes after such a big incident, feeling that not monitoring and participating in person was unjustifiable.

But as Ling Ruonan arranged this, he ultimately obeyed.

Yang Xiaodong, Wang Zhenjun, and Wuyue were still busy with matters, while Wuyue arranged two new security personnel for Luo Ziling: one named Zhu Yijun and the other Shi Yidan, who followed him afterward.

Luo Ziling had seen them before and had some impression, mainly because both, a man and a woman, had decent looks and were quite tall.

Unlike Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun, who talked a lot, nor like Lin Lan and Fenghuang, who were cold, they appeared like ordinary people. In other words, if not paying attention, you wouldn’t necessarily notice anything unusual about them among ordinary people.

This made Luo Ziling quite satisfied. On the way to school, he chatted with them a few times and accepted Wuyue’s arrangement for him.

However, Luo Ziling had no mood for attending classes. Sitting in the classroom during organic chemistry, he couldn’t absorb a single word and was instead thinking about the developments that would unfold once the situation escalated.

“Junior, things are quite lively,” Yang Qingyin messaged while Luo Ziling was in a daze, “I guess you already knew, right?”

“What did you hear?”

“Let me treat you to lunch, and we can talk when we meet. How about that?”

“No problem,” Luo Ziling gladly agreed, “Having a pretty lady treating me to a meal, I’m over the moon!”

Yang Qingyin replied with several eye-roll emojis.

Shortly after, Luo Yuqing messaged him, “Are you busy?”

“I’m in organic chemistry class. Can’t understand it! The conversion between aldehydes and ketones—that structural formula is totally baffling.”

“Tch, you’re still attending class at a time like this? How odd!”

“I want to be a good student, so of course, I attend class often.”

“What’s going on with Chen Jiahu?”

“Just what it is,” Luo Ziling replied with a few smug smiles.

“Then let’s meet at noon and talk; you treat me to lunch.”

“No way,” Luo Ziling outright refused, “A pretty lady is treating me to lunch, and you want me to treat you. It’s non-negotiable.”

“Who’s treating you? Yang Qingyin or Dai Shulan?”

“Not telling you!”

Luo Yuqing returned several eye-roll emojis and immediately sent a few thumbs-down emojis.

Then she messaged again, “I’ve already asked Yang Qingyin, and she’s having lunch with you. I’m coming too.”

“You just love playing the third wheel?” Luo Ziling was a bit angry.

It felt like he hadn’t had time alone with Yang Qingyin for a long while, and now that he finally got the chance, this woman was interfering again.

However, Luo Yuqing was not ashamed at all and proudly replied, “Anyway, it’s not your treat, and the hostess agreed, so what can you do?”

So, Luo Ziling sent back to Luo Yuqing the emojis she just sent him.

Luo Yuqing replied with a few bloody kitchen knife emojis.

After the last class, Luo Ziling declined Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang’s proposal to drag him to the cafeteria to gawk at beautiful women and went to find Luo Yuqing and Yang Qingyin instead.

Unexpectedly, the two women came straight to the classroom to find him, causing the male classmates to howl.

Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang brazenly approached to greet Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing, but Luo Ziling kicked each of them away.

Watching Cao Jianhui and the others flee embarrassed, Luo Yuqing giggled, “Looks like you’re a violent maniac at any time.”

“How about I be violent towards you sometime?” Luo Ziling retorted unceremoniously.

“Look at your boyfriend, treating his sister like this. Shouldn’t he be taught a lesson?” Luo Yuqing pulled Yang Qingyin into her alliance.

“I can’t control him,” Yang Qingyin ignored Luo Yuqing and asked Luo Ziling, “What do you want for lunch?”

“Whatever you two beautiful ladies fancy, I don’t mind at all!”

“Then let’s grab a bite at the Chinese restaurant outside the school,” Yang Qingyin suggested with a smile, then asked Luo Ziling, “Are you coming to class in the afternoon?”

“If nothing comes up, I’ll still attend class to avoid frequent absences.”

He barely finished speaking when Luo Ziling’s phone rang. Seeing it was Wuyue calling, he quickly answered.

“Chen Jiahu has been criminally detained by the Xuanwu Branch Bureau. The other involved parties were also detained. Reporters from TV stations are there, and if all goes smoothly, the news should be aired by noon,” Wuyue reported briefly and then asked Luo Ziling, “Do you have any plans for the afternoon?”

“Why?”

“Chen Yijing contacted me and wants to meet you.”

“No,” Luo Ziling outright refused, “If he contacts you again, give the same response, at least today.”

“Alright, I understand,” Wuyue, though somewhat surprised, followed Luo Ziling’s instructions.

After hanging up, Luo Ziling’s lips curled into a sardonic smile.

“Looks like things are getting interesting,” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but muse.

He was quite surprised that Chen Yijing would actively seek him out.
