CapĂtulo 2282: Chapter 2282: Luo Zilingâs Arrogance
Wuyue knew that the relationship between Phoenix and Luo Ziling was quite good, even to the extent of being intimate.
Luo Ziling had helped Phoenix with treatment several times, and itâs possible theyâve had close interactions.
Because of this, Wuyue didnât have a good impression of Phoenix. Coupled with Phoenixâs status, Wuyue was always wary of this woman, whose skills surpassed hers and who led the terrifying Dragon Rise squad.
Wuyue was not only wary of Phoenix, but also full of caution regarding Lin Lan.
This caution towards Lin Lan was definitely from a womanâs perspective.
Lin Lan was quite capable and had done many things for Luo Ziling.
Thus, Wuyue always felt that the intentions of these two women, Phoenix and Lin Lan, were not simple.
Phoenix might aim to attach herself to the Luo Family or Ling Family, while Lin Lan might want to marry into a wealthy family.
However, she couldnât articulate her thoughts clearly.
If she spoke too directly, it might be misunderstood by Luo Ziling.
Wuyue trusted Lin Lan a great deal, but her trust in Phoenix was naturally less.
He acknowledged Phoenixâs abilities, being able to stay in the position of team leader for so many years, it was impossible not to have cunning strategies.
However, considering Phoenix was a beautiful woman, Luo Ziling didnât associate her with being a âscheming woman.â
But with this reminder from Wuyue, Luo Ziling couldnât help but give it more thought.
Phoenix might use the opportunity of her being investigated to leverage the Luo Family, Ling Family or other forces to eliminate those dissatisfied with her in Dragon Rise â itâs not beyond the realm of possibility.
Of course, Luo Ziling wasnât averse to Phoenix doing this.
Because the people Phoenix disliked might also disapprove of Luo Xusheng entering Dragon Rise.
The people Phoenix wanted to eliminate might also be unwelcome by Luo Xusheng.
If thatâs the case, letting Phoenix take care of these things wouldnât be a problem.
Luo Ziling decided to find an opportunity to ask Phoenix about it.
He didnât want to be used, even if what the other party was doing wasnât something he opposed.
The lesson of being used once was enough.
In Luo Zilingâs contemplation, the car reached the temporary office location of the inspection team.
The temporary office location had strict security, and the inspection of incoming and outgoing vehicles was very thorough.
When Wuyue arrived driving, she didnât intend to drive in. With Luo Zilingâs consent, she parked nearby and entered on foot.
Luo Ziling, after presenting his credentials, wasnât given a hard time, and was directly led into a second-floor office.
However, he didnât see Li Haiyang or Phoenix, nor did he see anyone familiar, and Wuyue couldnât stay by his side.
The person who received him was a military officer with two stripes and three stars on his shoulders.
Luo Ziling had never seen this colonel before, and he sensed a certain aura from him.
Alongside the colonel questioning Luo Ziling, there was a lieutenant colonel and two captains.
The lieutenant colonel and colonel sat together, the two captains positioned on either side of Luo Ziling.
There were guards at the door, but outside were ordinary soldiers standing guard.
After gesturing for Luo Ziling to sit down, the colonel immediately started to speak.
He didnât criticize Luo Ziling for being late, but directly asked about the matter: âDiscipline doesnât need us to explain, I believe you know what to say and what not to say. Now just tell us about your violations of rules and regulations. I hope you speak honestly, donât try to fool us!â
âThen can I leave?â Luo Ziling said, immediately standing up.
The officers in the room were startled by Luo Zilingâs sudden move, and the officer ready to take notes, the lieutenant colonel, had his pen drop to the paper in surprise, making him quite embarrassed.
âI havenât done anything against rules or regulations,â Luo Ziling explained with a smile, âAnd youâre only interested in my violations, so I have nothing to communicate with you. Since thereâs nothing to discuss, can I leave now?â
âHow dare you!â The colonel realized heâd been fooled, and angrily ordered, âSit down and honestly explain the issues!â
âI have no issues, what do you want me to explain?â Luo Ziling looked at two officers preparing to step forward and asked the colonel with a playful face, âAre you planning to extract a confession through torture?â
While speaking, he pointed at the monitoring camera facing him: âI hope you donât claim the monitoring is broken afterwards!â
The colonel and lieutenant colonel hadnât expected Luo Ziling to be so bold. After exchanging a glance, they finally softened their stance and changed their approach.
âThen explain your cooperation with Dragon Rise, including how you obtained the status of a non-staff member with Dragon Rise. You should know, no military unit ever allows for an arrangement like non-staff members.â The colonel, in a stance emphasizing the key points, tapped the table, âWe suspect there are interest transfers through your drug provisions to Dragon Rise.â
âIf you suspect, then just present the evidence!â Luo Ziling looked at them fearlessly, still with a playful smile, âAs I said, I havenât done anything against rules, so Iâm here with a clear conscience. Do you know, I just participated in final exams, and have another two exams this afternoon. Iâm an exemplary student, and I donât want to miss my final exams. This morning, I already announced on Weibo I would participate in the final exams, and would update everyone about the exam situation in real-time. If I miss the exams due to other reasons, Iâll regretfully inform everyone.â
At this point, he reminded the two officers again: âWhen I arrived here, I also informed my fans of the situation. Once you finish questioning me, Iâll post the events truthfully on Weibo.â
Luo Ziling actually threatened them, changing the officersâ expressions.
They hadnât anticipated Luo Ziling using such tactics.
In their impression, those being questioned must strictly adhere to discipline, never revealing any details about the investigation. And among these individuals, hardly anyone dared to be arrogant or bargain with them.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling disregarded such rules, publicly sharing the investigation beforehand.
âIâm not a soldier, so I donât have to abide by your disciplinary constraints!â Luo Ziling casually responded, then provocatively said, âGo ahead, ask whatever you want, Iâll answer everything I know.â
The colonel and lieutenant colonel exchanged glances, seeing anger in each otherâs eyes.
But they couldnât do anything to Luo Ziling, so they had to suppress their anger and continue the questioning in a business-like manner.
