Capítulo 2290: Chapter 2290: A Bit Excited

Luo Ziling finally understood what Ling Mingrui’s contradictory words meant.

What you do is not important; what’s important is what those who know think of the situation and its nature.

If you did something bad, but others perceive it as good, then you’ve done a good deed.

The reverse is also true.

Just as Luo Ziling thought he understood Ling Mingrui’s meaning, Ling Mingrui added, “Also, if someone wants to ruin you, is there anyone who helps you when someone tries to ruin you?”

“I understand!” Luo Ziling suddenly realized, “This time someone wanted to ruin me and my dad, but Grandpa didn’t want us destroyed, so we are fine.”

“Who said you are fine?” Ling Mingrui’s expression suddenly turned stern again, and he slammed the chess piece heavily, “You have lots of troublesome things ahead. In the next few years, don’t expect to live peacefully.”

“We have never lived peacefully!” Luo Ziling looked aggrieved, “Since I came to Yanjing, the troubles I’ve faced surpass those I’ve encountered in my entire twenty years. I thought Yanjing was heaven, but it turns out to be almost like hell.”

“Then why do you stay in hell?”

“Maybe it’s because of my stubborn nature, and besides, my mom is here, now my dad is too, and so are my loving grandparents and grandpa.” Luo Ziling said with a chuckle, “So, I’ve decided to stay in hell a bit longer. If I really can’t stand it, I’ll go back to Yuezhou.”

“Hmph!” Ling Mingrui snorted but said nothing more.

Luo Ziling also said nothing, focusing on the chess.

After a while, Ling Mingrui said as if talking to himself, “Yan Shiliang has been in charge of logistics for many years, walking along the river and unfortunately wetting his shoes; hehe, it’s time for him to take off his military uniform!”

Luo Ziling was unexpected to hear Ling Mingrui suddenly mention Yan Shiliang’s matter and was momentarily stunned.

“Wu Jiangshan will also voluntarily resign from his current position because he has many violations and disciplinary issues.” Ling Mingrui did not place another piece, staring directly at Luo Ziling, “You know that, right? Your chaotic actions have ruined many people’s futures.”

“Will they try to get back at me?”

“What do you think?” Ling Mingrui snorted unhappily but quickly added, “But they are just sacrificial pawns. Casualties of the struggle, only to blame their low awareness for not realizing they have become expendable pawns.”

“Perhaps, one day I will also become a pawn!” Luo Ziling said with a bitter smile, and soon realized, again bitterly smiling, “I might not even have the qualifications to be a pawn.”

Ling Mingrui ignored Luo Ziling’s words and continued placing pieces.

After a while, he picked up the topic again, “The Fang Family is not as good as you think. They appear to treat you specially but secretly stab you. If you hadn’t made a big deal out of things this time, that stab might have been bloody. They suffer no loss, just clearing out a couple of traitors.”

“Grandpa, thinking about all this is terrifying.” Luo Ziling straightened his posture, “I never thought things would turn out like this.”

“It’s a good thing!” Ling Mingrui’s expression became relaxed, squinting his eyes, “Some are happy, some are worried, and that’s enough. Well, this matter is over, don’t investigate anything else, don’t think about anything else. This time, you gained nothing, but you didn’t lose anything either. As for your father, his position is stabilized. Some troublemakers within Dragon Rise will also be relocated elsewhere. This way, Dragon Rise becomes more capable in battle.”

“Grandpa, why tell me all this?” Luo Ziling finally realized, “This is not simple.” “Did you tell my mom about these things?”

“Some things your mom doesn’t necessarily need to know, but you must know!” Ling Mingrui’s expression became serious again, “Because in this matter, you play a bigger role, and you are more destructive.”

“Sigh, I’m just this,” Luo Ziling pointed at the chess piece on the board, “and lack the awareness of a chess piece, always unconsciously wanting to be the player.”

Ling Mingrui didn’t respond to Luo Ziling’s words but continued to talk about serious matters, “I tell you all this because I hope you can correctly recognize the situation, and avoid touching things you shouldn’t.”

“What things shouldn’t I touch?”

“You will eventually understand which things should be done and which things shouldn’t be done!” Ling Mingrui didn’t wait for Luo Ziling’s response, quickly changing the topic, “Did you go to the old man’s place today and discuss Huang Chen’s future with him?”

Luo Ziling was surprised Ling Mingrui mentioned Huang Chen but quickly understood Ling Mingrui’s intention.

“Indeed, I talked to him. He said he would take up a position in the Yanjing War Zone next month, as Deputy Chief of Staff, right!” Luo Ziling didn’t hide this matter, feeling Ling Mingrui surely knew about it.

Ling Mingrui must want to win over Huang Chen.

Huang Chen has been by Ling Jinhua’s side for so many years, and he’s not that old, and he can soon be promoted again.

With the halo of being Ling Jinhua’s secretary, Huang Chen’s status is very special; at least during Ling Jinhua’s lifetime, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to act against him. It’s an old saying that the Prime Minister’s gate has a minor official.

Ling Jinhua’s status is no less than a Prime Minister, and Huang Chen is not Ling Jinhua’s gatekeeper but his confidential secretary.

It’s fair to say, regarding matters related to Ling Jinhua, most are handled by Huang Chen; he knows too many secrets related to Ling Jinhua.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, after Huang Chen goes to the War Zone, he will certainly be promoted quickly.

It’s also possible that Huang Chen’s future prospects will reach incredible heights.

Ling Mingrui’s desire to win over such a person is very understandable.

Moreover, in many people’s eyes, Huang Chen is considered the loyal guardian of the Ling Family; no one would be surprised by Ling Mingrui drawing him in.

After all, Ling Jinhua is now old; matters concerning the Ling Family are all decided by Ling Mingrui.

In most people’s eyes, Ling Mingrui represents Ling Jinhua.

Ling Mingrui didn’t say much, and Luo Ziling sensibly added, “Grandpa, Huang Chen is someone who repays kindness.”

“It’s good to repay kindness!” Ling Mingrui looked at Luo Ziling meaningfully.

Luo Ziling understood that Ling Mingrui targeted these words at him.

Thinking about what Ling Mingrui said while playing chess today and then repeating his words evaluating Huang Chen, Luo Ziling understood a bit. Ling Mingrui wants to promote him, give him opportunities, otherwise he wouldn’t directly tell him so many confidential things.

Ling Mingrui’s goodwill today is entirely different from before.

Thinking about this, Luo Ziling felt a bit excited inside.
