Chapter 1533: Chapter 1533: A Surprising Event
“What insider information did you uncover?” Luo Ziling finally couldn’t resist asking.
“Soone wants you and the Chen Family to directly fall out.”
“Who?”
“Yang Yunzhong.”
“Was today’s incident orchestrated by Yang Yuanzhong?” Luo Ziling was a bit unable to comprehend.
Clearly, Chen Jiahu was involved, so how did it turn out to be Yang Yunzhong’s sche?
“Where are you now?” Yang Qingyin didn’t want to discuss this over the phone with Luo Ziling.
“I’m at ho, just finished treating Wang Qing. Soone drugged her drink with sothing and a hallucinogen. I perford a detox treatnt on her. I’m exhausted, relaxing in the bathtub.”
“Ouyang Feifei is at your house too?”
“Yes, she’s chatting with Yuqing and my mom.”
Yang Qingyin fell silent.
After so thought, Luo Ziling suggested, “How about I co over to see you later? You’re staying at your own place, right? I’ll bring a late-night snack, and we can eat together. How about that?”
“Aren’t you tired? It’s so late; will your mom let you go out?”
“I was a bit tired just now, but seeing you will make feel less tired.”
“Hmph, sweet talker,” Yang Qingyin snorted but eventually didn’t refuse. “Alright, I’ll wait for you at my place.”
“It’ll take at least an hour before I get there.”
“Then I’ll take a shower first.”
After hanging up with Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling continued to soak in the hot water, relaxing his entire body.
A short while later, another call ca in. Seeing it was from Fang Dongxun, he answered.
As soon as the call connected, Fang Dongxun’s cheerful laugh ca through, “Mr. Luo, how did you end up clashing with Chen Jiahu today?”
“The news spread pretty fast; even you, Mr. Fang, found out so quickly.”
“The circle is so small; news travels fast,” Fang Dongxun said, lowering his voice slightly, “What’s the real story here?”
“Chen Jiahu arranged to discuss cooperation with Ouyang Feifei, but she was too busy to go, so Wang Qing went to et instead. During the al, they spiked Wang Qing’s drink with drugs, a strong stimulant and a hallucinogen. Fortunately, Wang Qing was alert and imdiately sought help. We arrived just in ti.”
Luo Ziling didn’t ntion the ensuing conflict, but he knew Fang Dongxun could imagine it.
Fang Dongxun didn’t speak imdiately, remaining silent for a while before saying, “This situation is unusual. Normally, Chen Jiahu wouldn’t do sothing so mindless. But things turned out this way, which ans Chen Jiahu was blinded by lust. It’s possible this was initially targeted at Ouyang Feifei, but since she didn’t go, she escaped disaster.”
“That could be,” Luo Ziling had thought of this possibility but didn’t believe Chen Jiahu would dare to harm Ouyang Feifei.
If they indeed targeted Ouyang Feifei and succeeded, she would certainly fight them to the death.
In that case, even if the Chen Family sohow erged victorious, they would be severely weakened and unable to compete with the other major families.
Unless absolutely necessary, the Chen Family wouldn’t do sothing so reckless.
Luo Ziling leaned towards Yang Qingyin’s idea that soone orchestrated this incident, with Chen Jiahu and Wang Qing being re pawns.
Fang Dongxun didn’t say much more. After inquiring about Ling Ruonan’s recovery, he ended the call.
After soaking in the bathtub for about twenty minutes, Luo Ziling finally got out.
After getting dressed and leaving the room, he felt much more refreshed.
When he ca downstairs, Ling Ruonan, Ouyang Feifei, and Luo Yuqing were still sitting there chatting.
“Mom, I’m going out for a bit,” Luo Ziling approached the three won but didn’t sit down, directly addressing Ling Ruonan, “I just got a few phone calls. There are so things I need to check out myself. I’ll probably be back late, so don’t wait up for . Just go to bed.”
“Where are you going?” Ling Ruonan looked surprised.
She had just told Luo Ziling to rest assured and said she would handle the rest.
While Luo Ziling was bathing, she had been discussing with Ouyang Feifei how to resolve this issue.
She and Ouyang Feifei’s plan was to protect their interests as much as possible, placing all the bla on Chen Jiahu and his accomplices. But before they’d finished discussing, Luo Ziling wanted to go out again and said he needed to find out what’s going on, which naturally shocked Ling Ruonan.
Both Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei were astonished.
It was already past midnight.
Ouyang Feifei didn’t ask anything, just looked at Luo Ziling with doubt.
“I’ll explain everything when I’m back, but it might be tomorrow,” Luo Ziling said, not waiting for Ling Ruonan’s advice before heading out. “Mom, you should go to bed early even if I co back late. If it’s too late, I won’t return tonight and will co back tomorrow morning.”
At such a late hour, Luo Ziling naturally didn’t feel like coming back and intended to spend the night at Yang Qingyin’s place.
It had been a long ti since the two of them slept together.
He wasn’t planning on doing anything with Yang Qingyin but felt they’d grown distant lately.
Sleeping in each other’s arms for a night could remove many misunderstandings.
As Luo Ziling exited the room, Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun who were waiting outside, approached him.
No one inford them about Wang Qing’s condition. Since they acted impulsively today and feared Ling Ruonan’s scolding, they didn’t dare to ask inside.
When Luo Ziling ca out, they finally dared to inquire about the situation.
Upon hearing from Luo Ziling that Wang Qing was fine, Yang Xiaodong visibly sighed in relief.
Then when Luo Ziling ntioned Wang Qing had been drugged with hallucinogens and stimulants, Yang Xiaodong couldn’t contain his anger, and a murderous intent flashed across his face. However, he managed to suppress it without showing much else.
Luo Ziling instructed Yang Xiaodong to stay at the villa while Wang Zhenjun accompanied him out.
Understanding Luo Ziling’s intentions, Yang Xiaodong didn’t say much.
After leaving the villa, Luo Ziling bought two bowls of wontons and so skewers near the school.
He was quite hungry, and the skewers were ant for him. At this hour, Yang Qingyin certainly wouldn’t eat such things, but she might have so of the wontons.
When they arrived at Yang Qingyin’s place with Wang Zhenjun, he rang the doorbell, and Ye Xiaoli answered the door.
“Didn’t get you guys any late-night snacks, go and grab sothing yourselves,” Luo Ziling chuckled, dismissing Wang Zhenjun and Ye Xiaoli.
Neither of them refused and followed Luo Ziling’s instructions to go for late-night snacks.
Yang Qingyin had already showered, changed into pajamas, but upon seeing Luo Ziling bringing snacks, she agreed to join him.
She only took half a bowl of wontons, leaving the rest to Luo Ziling.
Sitting down to eat, Yang Qingyin spoke before Luo Ziling could ask, “After the last incident, I arranged for Xiaoli to place soone by Yang Yunzhong’s side, a distant relative of the Yang Family. He didn’t let us down, gained Yang Yunzhong’s trust, and overheard so things.”
Yang Qingyin’s words shocked Luo Ziling so much that the wonton he was holding fell back into the bowl.
