Ling Ruonan no longer ca here, and Luo Ziling's room was occupied by Yang Qingyin, Ouyang Feifei, Fang Qianqian, and others.
Because there were no land restrictions and no need for reporting and approval, the house built by Luo Liansheng was quite spacious.
Including the courtyard, the property was estimated to be over five hundred square ters, with the courtyard area being roughly three hundred square ters and the house about two hundred square ters.
Each room was quite large, and Luo Ziling's room should have been about fifty square ters.
The floor inside was made of self-crafted cedar boards, and because there wasn't much dust pollution, the room could go a long ti between cleanings and wouldn't get very dirty, making it perfectly fine to sleep directly on it.
His room had few furnishings: a self-made large bed, a bookcase, a TV cabinet, a set of wooden sofas, making it very spacious. Two people could sleep on the bed, several tents could be set up on the floor, or a mat could be laid for sleeping without any issue.
While Ling Ruonan was there, no one had the nerve to vie for this room, but with her gone, Luo Ziling as the owner was ignored by them.
He himself went to live in a tent set up in the courtyard. With many policen guarding nearby along with sufficient security personnel, generally things wouldn't go wrong, which relieved Luo Ziling.
The moon in mid-month was round and bright, standing in the courtyard, the distant Tianshan Peaks appeared equally beautiful. Although the won took over Luo Ziling's room, after dinner they didn't imdiately go inside, but sat in the courtyard appreciating the night scenery.
Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling gathered Dong Xiaowan, Wang Hanying, Ishihara Naka, Xu Zhiyuan, and others for acupuncture lessons, also explaining so of the rare dicinal herbs unique to Tianshan.
The complex terrain and geographical situation along the North Tianshan route were also recounted by Luo Ziling to them.
Luo Liansheng had already decided to go into the mountains in three days.
During the sumr break, Luo Liansheng planned to stay here most of the ti, only returning when the school term was nearing.
Being in the depths of Tianshan for such a long ti continuously wasn't possible, since they'd be frozen and starved to death.
Each mountain expedition would last about four to ten days, after returning they'd rest for two or three days, and depending on the situation decide which direction to head next. This ans that within a month, they'd go into the mountains three to four tis. Neither Luo Ziling nor Luo Ziling could fully comprehend the conditions deep within Tianshan, many places couldn't rely on experience to predict. A snow avalanche or similar geological event could change the area entirely, even if visited multiple tis it could beco completely unfamiliar.
Therefore, much had to be discussed, and flexibility was key.
Mountain herb collection wasn't about honing wilderness survival skills, thus they couldn't stay inside the mountains indefinitely.
After listening to the situation presented by Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng, those young ones oblivious to the vast world still didn't fully understand Tianshan's complexities.
Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng decided to let them personally feel the complexity and dangers of Tianshan, during an onsite visit they'd explain so key points, hoping for effectiveness.
After the talk, Dong Xiaowan clung to Luo Ziling, urging him to accompany them for a midnight snack tonight. She told Luo Ziling that she was bored to death these days with no entertainnt activities or internet, and unable to see Luo Ziling, she was on the verge of collapse.
"With internet access now and here, you shouldn't collapse anymore, right?" Luo Ziling chuckled, signaling Dong Xiaowan to speak aside: "Seeing you're doing well, I'll roast sothing for you all in a bit. First, report your situation; I want to know how you've been managing your assigned responsibilities."
Upon hearing this, Dong Xiaowan rejoiced and agreed promptly.
The two of them left the lecture room and walked to the steps leading to the back mountain.
Luo Ziling inquired about Xu Zhiyuan and Ishihara Naka's conditions.
These two foreigners had been too low-key and quiet lately, so low-key as to seem abnormal.
Luo Ziling actually wished these guys would stir up sothing small, so he'd catch so evidence and use it to blackmail the Xu Family and Ishihara Family. These guys were too obedient, seeming like they hadn't done anything mischievous for a long ti, leaving him unable to find any evidence against them.
Without evidence, he couldn't extort those old n.
The cooperation between the Northern Group and the Xu Family, and Ishihara Family was still ongoing, with considerable scale, reaching tens of billions.
Moreover, they might increase investnt scale in the future.
The foolish actions of Ishihara Naka had greatly benefited Northern Group, gaining considerable profits.
Regarding the cooperation terms between the Xu Family and Northern Group, they were also favorable to Northern Group.
Luo Ziling hoped this advantage continued, and the most convenient thing to gain more profit was using Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan as leverage.
Yet, it was unclear if these guys had wised up or were afraid to stir up trouble again; they'd been too obedient recently.
Luo Ziling really considered holding a knife to them, forcing them into so mischief.
"There's a struggle between Xu Zhiyuan and Ishihara Naka; both fear being pinpointed by the other, so they're very cautious in their actions," Dong Xiaowan shared her view, "but I think this is surface-level; they still have motives, only temporarily hiding them now. If my guess is correct, they should have designs on you, right?"
Luo Ziling didn't hide it, ntioning Ishihara Naka's desire for the two acupuncture bronze figures he possessed, and Xu Zhiyuan wanting to obtain their Luo's Acupuncture Skill and recipes.
"Perhaps, once their learning period ends or is about to, their intentions will surface. If Xu Zhiyuan can obtain what he wants through learning, he might not resort to ans. However, for Ishihara Naka to want the acupuncture bronze figures, he'll have to take drastic asures. Here's what I'll do, I'll help you keep an eye on them, trying to help them monitor each other, creating mutual restraint. That way, you won't need to spend too much energy on them."
"Actually, those two are quite dishonest. Before eting , they were casanovas with quite a na as notorious playboys, having significant influence dostically." With this, Luo Ziling changed his tone, speaking softly, "My mother collaborates with their elders, but the Japanese and Korean are very shrewd and cunning, so without so grip over them, it's impossible to force them to make concessions!"
Dong Xiaowan imdiately understood Luo Ziling's intention, "You want to fish?"
Luo Ziling glanced at Dong Xiaowan but neither nodded nor shook his head.
"Alright, I understand your intentions; I'll definitely find a way to get hold of their evidence, giving you leverage to threaten and force their elders into concessions."
Seeing Dong Xiaowan nodding earnestly, Luo Ziling laughed and said, "I find you quite adorable!"
Dong Xiaowan suddenly felt a bit indignant, "I'm not just adorable, I'm also very pretty and capable, it's just so people are blind and don't see it!"
