Chapter 1668: Chapter 1668: Preparing to Be Bait
The Koreans might have learned from the Japanese’s lessons, so there was no deliberate difficulty during the welcoming ceremony or the reception banquet.
The dinner proceeded very smoothly and harmoniously.
Because Luo Ziling had made a na for himself in Tokyo, the important figures from the Korean side ca over to toast him and his two female companions. Luo Ziling accepted all cors, clinking glasses cheerfully with them.
Luo Ziling’s seat was arranged among several well-known elders, along with He Yan, Cheng Bushi, and others.
It’s unclear whether these elders gained fa from Luo Ziling, or if Luo Ziling received more attention because of these elders, or perhaps Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing were just too attractive, but their table beca the focus of everyone’s attention.
Xu Zhiyuan and Jin Qingji also ca over to toast, once again expressing their invitation for Luo Ziling to visit their ho.
Luo Ziling naturally did not refuse and agreed in front of everyone.
The Korean personnel knew of Xu Chongzhi’s status in the dical field, but he was very aloof. It’s difficult for ordinary people to et him, and even so officials in charge of health couldn’t see him. He was very proud and aloof; even if the president was sick and invited him to treat, he would decide based on his mood. Unexpectedly, Xu Chongzhi actively invited a young man from Huaxia to visit his ho and personally sent him an invitation. This made many Korean officials feel resentful.
So had heard that Luo Ziling was invited to visit the Ishihara Family in Japan, but they didn’t care much about what the Japanese did, and they weren’t clear about Ishihara Tarou’s status in Japan’s traditional dical field. But they knew what kind of person Xu Chongzhi was, a renowned elder in South Korea whose dical skills and ethics were extraordinarily high and noble.
For soone needing to be revered to regard a Huaxia person with such esteem, they naturally felt uncomfortable.
Thus, so Koreans naturally developed a hostile attitude towards Luo Ziling, only they didn’t show it openly.
The welco banquet ended around eight o’clock in the evening, and after the dinner, everyone returned to their rooms.
When Luo Ziling was about to take Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing back to their rooms, Hu Wenjun called him.
“When does Xu Chongzhi invite you to visit?” Hu Wenjun asked Luo Ziling in a low voice, “How do you plan to arrange this private eting?”
Luo Ziling responded without hesitation, “When to pay a visit depends on the group’s schedule. If there’s a public event, I’ll attend that first, and then visit during my free ti.”
Hu Wenjun thought for a mont and said, “How about this, tomorrow morning, you go visit Xu Chongzhi first.”
“Don’t we have a public event tomorrow?” Luo Ziling was quite surprised.
Hu Wenjun patted Luo Ziling’s shoulder with a mysterious smile, “Tomorrow morning’s event is mainly a eting between Korean officials and us, without any substantial content. The afternoon’s and the subsequent days’ schedules are the main events. It’s possible that the arrangents and progress later on will be closely related to your eting with Xu Chongzhi. We might adjust our plans based on your eting, and the Korean side might do the sa. So, you should visit Xu Chongzhi as soon as possible.”
“Got it,” Luo Ziling nodded.
Hu Wenjun didn’t say much more, just instructed Luo Ziling to prepare well and strive to impress the Xu family.
Luo Ziling just smiled in response and said nothing more.
While Luo Ziling was talking with Hu Wenjun, Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing were standing not far away waiting for him. The two won stood there quietly, chatting softly. Xu Zhiyuan talked with them for a few minutes before politely excusing himself, and no one else dared to approach them.
After finishing the conversation with Hu Wenjun, Luo Ziling called Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing to return to their rooms together.
“I originally wanted to stroll along the streets of Seoul and see the night view. It looks like that’s a luxurious wish,” Luo Yuqing sighed a little while waiting for the elevator, “Staying in the hotel every day is quite boring. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have co.”
“Why should we stay in the hotel?” Luo Ziling looked at Luo Yuqing with surprise, “Let’s rest a bit, and then I’ll accompany you walking along the streets, take a stroll by the Han River, and enjoy the night view.”
“Aren’t you afraid soone will harm you?” Luo Yuqing looked surprised.
“No problem, at worst, I’ll push you two beauties out and offer you as The Lady in Charge of Suppressing Bandits.”
This joke from Luo Ziling successfully earned him glares from Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing.
But he didn’t mind and responded to their stern looks with a giggle.
After returning to the room, Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing went inside. Luo Ziling didn’t know if they wanted to lie down or touch up their makeup, so he didn’t follow them in. He contacted Lin Lan and ntioned that he planned to accompany Luo Yuqing and Yang Qingyin for a walk by the Han River later and asked her to make arrangents.
Lin Lan, upon hearing Luo Ziling’s plan, agreed readily without objection and said she would arrange everything properly.
Luo Ziling then inford Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun about his plan. Hearing this, Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun beca very nervous. They knew the situation was quite complicated and still didn’t know who might be targeting Luo Ziling. Therefore, they hoped Luo Ziling would act low-key and not wander around.
Luo Ziling wanting to accompany the two won for a night tour of the Han River made them worried, but after hearing Luo Ziling’s explanation, they could only prepare for it.
After giving his instructions, Luo Ziling reentered the room to find that Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing had changed into travel clothes.
“Wow, you act fast, already changed, so since you’re ready, let’s go,” Luo Ziling chuckled as he took Yang Qingyin’s hand, “The weather is a bit cold, wear more, don’t catch a cold.”
“Hearing your concern, why does it feel uncomfortable?” Luo Yuqing rolled her eyes at Luo Ziling, “It feels pretty cheesy, not sincere at all.”
“That’s a matter of your role positioning.”
Luo Yuqing rolled her eyes again, looking a bit annoyed.
Once everyone was ready, they went to call on Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun.
Wang Zhenjun and Yang Xiaodong had already made their arrangents.
They didn’t follow directly behind Luo Ziling, Yang Qingyin, and Luo Yuqing. Instead, they had Xiaoli and Lin tail them, maintaining a vigil a few hundred ters away, monitoring anyone approaching. Yang Xiaodong knew Lin Lan would have people following, which eased his initial worries.
Only they didn’t know if it would lure out those following them.
If followers were discovered again, they would definitely take action, and the thods would be decisive, with no delay.
Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing were not clear about the specifics; they were a bit worried about any incidents, but considering so many people were with them, they thought it should be fine. After all, Luo Ziling’s skills were also quite formidable.
The most worried should be Luo Ziling himself, for he knew if things went uncontrolled, the consequences could be troubleso.
He didn’t want anything to happen to himself, and he even more so didn’t want anything to happen to Luo Yuqing and Yang Qingyin.
