When Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan arrived at Ling Mingrui's villa, Ling Mingrui had not yet returned.
Xie Enhua was helping in the kitchen.
Seeing Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan arrive, she imdiately wiped her hands clean and ran out of the kitchen.
"Huh, why are there only two of you? Where's Xusheng?" She looked at Ling Ruonan with a face full of confusion, "Why didn't Xusheng co over?"
Ling Ruonan quickly explained, "He still has sothing to take care of, so he asked us to co first, he'll co by himself later!"
"Oh?!" Xie Enhua responded, and did not ask anything further.
However, when Ling Mingrui returned, Luo Xusheng still had not co.
Not only did Luo Xusheng not co, but Ling Zhengping's family also didn't show up.
Today, Ling Mingrui returned a bit early, an hour earlier than usual.
Around four-thirty, Ling Mingrui ca back, which surprised Xie Enhua a lot.
"Old man, you're back so early today?" Xie Enhua asked curiously.
"They didn't co?" When he asked, Ling Mingrui noticed Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling appeared.
"Dad, Ling'er and I ca early!" Ling Ruonan walked over to Ling Mingrui, took his arm, and sat down, "You're back so early today?"
"Will your husband co later?" Ling Mingrui didn't answer Ling Ruonan's question, but instead asked.
"He'll co a bit later, said he had sothing to handle." Ling Ruonan felt a bit shy.
"He must have quite a lot on his plate during this period." Ling Mingrui sighed slightly, seeing no outsiders around, he gently patted Ling Ruonan's hand and revealed sothing that perhaps shouldn't be said, "I heard that soone within Dragon Rise reported to the military departnt about Xusheng's poor performance in his new role. They also reported so unfair things within Dragon Rise. When Li Haiyang was in charge, so things might have been a bit undemocratic, but now Xusheng has just taken office, and they're jumping out to report so many things, it's unusual!"
Hearing Ling Mingrui say this, Ling Ruonan couldn't help but frown, but she didn't ask who did this or who reported Luo Xusheng and Dragon Rise.
Keeping the identity of whistleblowers confidential is sothing the supervisory agency must do. If they were to reveal who the whistleblowers are, how outrageous would that be?
Retaliating against whistleblowers is sothing that would be condemned by everyone.
Especially for such cases which are broad in scope and have marks of manipulation, the information of the whistleblowers would be strictly confidential.
Unless absolutely necessary, whistleblowers wouldn't reveal their true identity.
Actually, Ling Ruonan had long anticipated sothing like this might happen, prior information indicated that many people didn't want Luo Xusheng to return to the Capital, and the position of leader of Dragon Rise was a coveted goal for many.
She just didn't expect to hear this from Ling Mingrui.
Ling Ruonan knew that a very important reason Luo Xusheng was able to return to the Capital for the position was that Ling Mingrui wanted him to take charge of Dragon Rise.
Along with the strong recomndation from Li Haiyang and the push from various other factors, Luo Xusheng was able to assu the position of the leader of Dragon Rise.
Luo Xusheng's tenure wasn't just his personal issue, it was a major event tied to Ling Mingrui's face and interests.
Ling Mingrui certainly wouldn't want any problem with the new Dragon Rise leader he selected, even if this person wasn't his son-in-law.
But since Luo Xusheng was Ling Ruonan's husband, and because Ling Mingrui didn't want people knowing Luo Xusheng was soone he arranged, it's impossible to directly and clearly intervene in such matters.
Ling Ruonan understood this, but she also knew her father wouldn't be indifferent to it.
Thus, she softly asked, "Dad, how do you think this should be handled?"
"When Xusheng arrives, I'll talk with him. I believe he already has a strategy!" Ling Mingrui patted Ling Ruonan's arm, "With Li Haiyang standing out in support, it's not insignificant. As for , it's not appropriate to make a direct stance on this matter."
Ling Ruonan gently nodded, indicating she understood Ling Mingrui's aning.
Sitting on the side, Luo Ziling couldn't help but speak up after listening, "Grandfather, a while back, I provided Dragon Rise with so dicines, ones that could save many lives at critical tis. When I went to Wang Zhengqiang's place to discuss related matters with those in charge of military logistics, soone raised doubts about this. At that mont, I knew this matter wasn't simple. I didn't expect it to be even more complicated than I thought. I guess those people are trying to use this matter to involve both and my father, and even drag you into it too."
Ling Mingrui's expression slightly changed but quickly returned to normal.
When Luo Ziling started speaking, Ling Ruonan was paying attention to observe Ling Mingrui's expressions, and she noticed the subtle change in his expression.
She couldn't help but admire Luo Ziling's quick thinking. She hadn't figured out how to bring up the matter to Ling Mingrui, but Luo Ziling quickly ca up with a way. Luo Ziling intended to drag Ling Mingrui into this matter.
If Ling Mingrui is forced to get involved, the nature of the issue changes entirely.
Actually, Ling Ruonan hoped her father would intervene in this matter to avoid Luo Xusheng getting into trouble.
Luo Xusheng wasn't skilled in plots and intrigue; facing such a grand conspiracy, he surely lacked the ability to deal with it.
In this regard, Ling Ruonan underestimated Luo Xusheng.
Although she knew that over the years, Luo Xusheng's ability to handle interpersonal relationships had improved, since he had always served in the military, this aspect was still sowhat lacking.
This could also be seen from Luo Xusheng's performance after returning to the Capital during this period.
And she and Luo Ziling couldn't participate in the affairs of Dragon Rise.
After all, it was a very special departnt.
Only by letting Ling Mingrui get involved and intervene personally, would the danger to Luo Xusheng be reduced a bit.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling, with just a few words, had paved the way for Ling Mingrui's involvent.
From the changes in Ling Mingrui's eyes, Ling Ruonan could sense that her father was swayed by Luo Ziling's few words.
Luo Ziling was also paying keen attention to Ling Mingrui's expression. Seeing the change in Ling Mingrui's expression after he spoke, Luo Ziling was relieved.
He pretended not to notice and continued, "Grandfather, when I previously provided Dragon Rise with special dicines, it wasn't with any selfish intent, but rather with the intention of helping. Moreover, even if doing so was against regulations, it was my issue alone and had nothing to do with my newly appointed father. Therefore, I think this matter is not that simple; so people are not rely targeting my father but are attempting to involve you through my father's issue. These people's intentions are really sinister."
Although Ling Mingrui knew Luo Ziling was intentionally making the situation sound serious, he also understood that this could very well be the truth.
Moreover, he also knew who was behind it, making his expression change once again.
