Chapter 2149: Chapter 2149: Your Sense of Responsibility Is Strong Too

“Sir Yang, who do you think planned this?” Luo Ziling quietly asked after Yang Yuanshan dismissed everyone around him. “I can’t understand why, in Tanzhou with heightened security, such an incident still happened while we went out for a late-night snack.”

Yang Yuanshan certainly wouldn’t jump to conclusions easily. “I’ll have someone investigate this matter thoroughly.”

He had Luo Ziling recount the details of last night.

Luo Ziling related the entire incident to Yang Yuanshan, but he didn’t mention that he later sent someone to trace and capture two individuals.

After Luo Ziling finished, Yang Qingyin also added a few points.

After listening, Yang Yuanshan’s expression grew even grimmer.

He called in his secretary and had Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin recount the incident to him.

Upon hearing what Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin said, the secretary immediately followed Yang Yuanshan’s instructions and relayed the incident to those responsible for security matters and the relevant Xiang Province officials.

As a result, the entire upper echelon of Xiang Province was alarmed.

No one expected that such a thing would happen while Yang Yuanshan was staying in Tanzhou.

Yang Yuanshan’s granddaughter and the doctor treating him were attacked while out for a late-night snack, nearly losing their lives. Some officials turned pale upon hearing the news. They understood that some heads would roll.

After Yang Yuanshan’s arrival in Tanzhou, the security level increased significantly, yet this still happened.

The official in charge of security admitted his negligence to Yang Yuanshan in person, promising to investigate everything thoroughly.

Several key Xiang Province officials also rushed to Yang Yuanshan’s side to apologize to Old Sir Yang, promising to get to the bottom of it.

Luo Ziling instructed Xiaoli to hand over the detained two individuals to the Xiang Province security officials through official channels, letting them investigate. Although he knew they might not find the mastermind, putting pressure on the conspirators was still a good thing.

Even though he was a nephew of the Ling Family, some members were unfriendly towards him, so exerting some pressure through other means was no big deal.

Luo Ziling was nearly certain that this was orchestrated by Ling Zhengping.

Since his own uncle would do such things, let him bear the consequences himself!

While Yang Yuanshan was meeting with those officials, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin left the room.

“What do you think the outcome will be?” Yang Qingyin quietly asked Luo Ziling as they strolled in the hotel garden. “Could it trigger a bigger incident? Will the Yang and Ling families clash?”

“Definitely!” Luo Ziling laughed. “Aren’t the Yang and Ling families considering a union? I’ll just throw some cold water on that.”

Yang Qingyin didn’t quite understand Luo Ziling’s true intentions.

However, she knew Luo Ziling’s thoughts weren’t that simple.

Of course, Luo Ziling’s intentions weren’t simple; his goals were actually akin to actively seeking collaboration with Fang Dongxun and strengthening ties with the Fang Family. With the Ling and Yang families thinking about a union, the Fang Family felt threatened. He simply stirred the waters to complicate matters further.

The more complicated things get, the greater benefits he could reap.

At least, everyone would recognize his capabilities.

He believed that the high-ups in Yanjing would soon be aware of what’s happening here.

No matter the result, things were bound to get more complicated.

He decided to play the catalyst and make the situation even more intricate!

Additionally, he might fish in troubled waters and gain quite a lot.

In the morning, with Yang Yuanshan having no activities, Luo Ziling didn’t want to stay in the hotel. He asked Yang Qingyin to accompany him to visit Yuelu Mountain and Yuelu Academy.

Yang Qingyin agreed, and Xiaoli drove them to Yuelu Academy.

Yuelu Mountain is vast, impossible to fully explore in a morning. They wandered around at leisure, spending most of their time at Yuelu Academy.

Yuelu Academy, along with Yingtian Academy, Songyang Academy, and White Deer Cave Academy, is one of Huaxia’s famous ancient academies, a millennium-old institution unlike any other. Most visitors to Tanzhou make it a point to visit here.

The two of them toured attractions such as the lecture hall, Banxuezai, the Teaching Studio, Baiquan Pavilion, Book Unloading Building, and Confucian Temple.

While Yuelu Academy boasts rich cultural and historical heritage, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin weren’t well-acquainted with its history. Thus, during their visit, they simply observed quietly, occasionally taking pictures.

For them, visiting was just an excuse to spend more time together, adding warmth to their lives.

Exactly where they visited wasn’t important; what mattered was how they felt when together.

After a morning of sightseeing, they found a restaurant with Xiangjiang specialties for a spicy lunch.

Yang Qingyin actually likes spicy food, but for her skin’s sake, she rarely eats it.

Being in Tanzhou, the home of spicy food, she decided to indulge a bit.

As a result, both of them felt like their stomachs were on fire and drank countless glasses of water.

After finishing lunch, they returned together to the hotel where Yang Yuanshan was staying.

Yang Yuanshan could now get up and go to the restaurant for lunch.

When Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin returned, he had just finished lunch and was getting ready to rest.

Seeing that Yang Yuanshan looked quite spirited, Luo Ziling smiled and said, “Sir Yang, you’re recovering well, so I’m not worried anymore. You should still take it easy for the next couple of days. I’ll prescribe you some medicine to take on time. Just rest and recuperate slowly.”

“Alright!” Yang Yuanshan agreed readily, further complimenting Luo Ziling by saying, “Your medical skills are impressive, and your sense of responsibility is strong.”

“Meaning if you marry Qingyin to me, you wouldn’t worry anymore?”

Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling would say something like that, causing Yang Qingyin, sitting beside him, to blush instantly.

She, not caring, reached out and pinched Luo Ziling, showing her displeasure.

Luo Ziling, pretending to be in great pain, cried out loudly, making Yang Qingyin’s face turn entirely red with embarrassment.

She bit her lip in frustration.

This rascal just wanted to embarrass her in front of her grandfather!

Of course, she was also curious to see how her grandfather would respond to Luo Ziling’s words.
