Wuyue was extrely anxious upon learning that Luo Ziling was attacked on his way back to Qingfeng Village from the town.
She regretted not being by Luo Ziling's side.
If she had been with Luo Ziling, the danger he faced would have been less.
Wuyue once again felt that she had too few people she could rely on, and there were not enough capable people around Luo Ziling.
She decided to invest more effort in training so reliable people, for both Luo Ziling and herself.
With more capable people under her command, she wouldn't be stretched thin at crucial tis, and Luo Ziling wouldn't lack competent aides.
She also planned to punish those few individuals around Luo Ziling properly; they were too incompetent and repeatedly negligent.
Luckily, Luo Ziling was unhard, not even injured.
Of course, this couldn't be attributed to luck, as Luo Ziling's luck was already quite bad.
A fortunate person wouldn't encounter so much trouble during a single outing.
It could only be said that Luo Ziling was skilled, with quick reactions and speed; otherwise, he might have died countless tis.
Wuyue could imagine how anxious and worried Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling's mother, must be whenever she saw or heard about Luo Ziling walking on the edge of death repeatedly.
She suddenly understood Ling Ruonan's change in attitude, even preparing to personally take action against Chen Ruchang.
If she hadn't risked executing the plan this ti, Ling Ruonan would have acted herself.
Ling Ruonan originally planned to visit Chen Ruchang with Ling Mingrui and then find a way to infect Chen Ruchang with a virus.
Wuyue hoped deeply for a successful outco from her actions this ti.
Chen Ruchang, the villain, should die and be reborn swiftly.
Wuyue also knew that if Chen Ruchang died, the Chen Family would crumble.
Neither Chen Yining nor Chen Yijing, his brothers, could uphold the Chen Family.
Moreover, it was still uncertain whether they could avoid accountability from this incident.
Wuyue didn't understand politics much and wasn't very clear about the struggles in the upper echelon. However, she did know that the Ling, Yang, and Fang families were all planning to use this incident to pressure the Chen Family, even aiming to completely topple them.
A series of blunders by the Chen Family made everyone feel that this old family had reached the end of its line.
Since they were seeking their own demise, people might as well give them a push.
Understanding this, Wuyue didn't hesitate while undertaking certain actions.
She knew that with Chen Ruchang hospitalized and Chen Yining and Chen Yijing working outside the city, the Chen Family's combat effectiveness had sharply declined.
Chen Yining and Chen Yijing were back in the Capital only because of Chen Ruchang's illness and wouldn't stay long in Yanjing.
As for Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping, although they worked in Yanjing, these two backstabbers wouldn't support Chen Ruchang, Chen Yining, or Chen Yijing; they would create chaos and add to their troubles. With internal and external woes, it's unpredictable whether the Chen Family could continue to thrive.
After discussing these matters, Wuyue asked Luo Ziling about the police investigation.
Luo Ziling didn't hide anything, explaining his counterasures.
Wuyue didn't comnt; she rely told Luo Ziling that she would stay by his side after returning, to avoid any accidents as much as possible.
Upon hearing that Wuyue intended to punish Zhu Yijun and Shi Yidan, who accompanied Luo Ziling, Luo Ziling quickly intervened.
Yesterday's incident didn't have much to do with Zhu Yijun or Shi Yidan.
He wanted to accompany Yang Qingyin on horseback for a romantic mont. It was him who insisted they not follow, not that they didn't want to.
After the incident, they did their best to rescue him; they just couldn't ride horses and couldn't run fast on foot.
But Wuyue insisted on reprimanding them, or else they wouldn't take things seriously.
During dinner, Luo Ziling received a call from Ling Ruonan.
In the Northwest, dinner ti coincides with Yanjing's ti for late-night snacks.
Yanjing is in the East Eight Zone, Wushi is in the East Six Zone, and Qingfeng Village is hundreds of kiloters west of Wushi, resulting in at least a two- to three-hour ti difference, making the lifestyles in the two places completely different. Luo Ziling asked Ling Ruonan if she had dinner, and Ling Ruonan said she was hungry again after dinner and was just returning ho from Ling Mingrui's place, ready to take a bath and sleep. Luo Ziling told Ling Ruonan they were just about to eat dinner, with the sun not yet set.
"It's tough to adjust to the ti difference when going to the Northwest, and it's hard after coming back as well!" Ling Ruonan laughed and asked about what happened to Luo Ziling today.
Luo Ziling didn't hide anything, recounting the events that happened today and yesterday evening to Ling Ruonan.
Of course, details about setting up the scene weren't ntioned during the call.
So things were done without being spoken of, even when both parties were aware.
After listening to Luo Ziling, Ling Ruonan breathed a sigh of relief.
She inford Luo Ziling about her discussions with Ling Mingrui today.
Ling Ruonan told Luo Ziling that during yesterday's big eting, Wang Zhengqiang led the conversation regarding the series of incidents in the Northwest, and although Chen Ruchang wasn't present, everyone else expressed similar opinions about investigating thoroughly.
Subsequently, a special investigation team was swiftly established and imdiately flew to the Northwest.
"Mom, they're fast! The investigation team was only ford yesterday, and today its mbers have already arrived here. They flew all the way; 'night and day' doesn't quite capture the pace!"
Ling Ruonan didn't respond to Luo Ziling's sarcasm, seriously saying, "Lin Zeping was likely forced to express his stance; he visited Chen Ruchang this afternoon but no one knows what they discussed. Besides Lin Zeping, others who attempted to visit were stopped. Your grandpa initially wanted to visit but was politely refused upon contacting them."
"Five against two, the odds should be quite favorable, right?" Luo Ziling chuckled.
"It's not that simple. Everyone is in it for their own interests." Ling Ruonan remained solemn. "Your grandpa reminded us that it's unlikely for the incident to be pinned on Chen Ruchang. Even if he participated in it, the bla wouldn't directly fall on him. At most, his two sons and other Chen Family mbers might face punishnt."
"If Chen Yining and Chen Yijing get penalized, even landing in jail, then wouldn't the Chen Family be dood without its arms to flail?" Luo Ziling snorted and comnted: "That's just what needs to happen to Chen Yining and Chen Yijing. As for Chen Ruchang, we'll leave it to fate—let's hope he lives many more years."
"I'll send so materials over to you; share them on Weibo."
"Okay!" Luo Ziling agreed.
Ling Ruonan reminded Luo Ziling again to be cautious and not be reckless before hanging up the call.
Soon, Luo Ziling received the file via WeChat sent by Ling Ruonan.
The file contained scandalous materials related to Chen Yining.
After reviewing the contents, Luo Ziling posted them online.
The contents quickly went viral online.
