After Yang Qingyin escaped, Luo Ziling lay on the bed with his hands behind his head.
At this moment, he was completely relaxed.
Being with Yang Qingyin was quite relaxing most of the time.
However, there have been a lot of things recently, and since Yang Qingyin is often not around, they haven’t spent much time together.
Next, Luo Ziling has to go to Hengdian for the opening ceremony, and they will be apart for at least two days.
Luo Ziling decided that once he returns from Hengdian, he will take care of the necessary matters.
While thinking about these things, a message alert sounded, and upon checking his phone, he saw that Ouyang Feifei had replied.
"Do you have time tonight? I want to meet you and talk about something."
"I’m not sure I’ll have time tonight," Luo Ziling rejected her directly. "Can’t you say it over the phone?"
After a while, Ouyang Feifei replied, "It’s not something that can be explained in a few words. Also, I want to meet Yang Yuanshan again; I want to discuss these things with you face to face. If you’re not available, it’s okay to be a little later."
Luo Ziling thought for a moment, and finally did not refuse: "Okay, how about this, when I have time, I’ll come find you!"
"Okay, I’m at my place, just come over. If Wang Qing is not there, just use this access code."
Then, Ouyang Feifei sent over a six-digit code.
"You’re not afraid of me coming over at midnight to rob and ravish with the access code to your home leaked to me?" Luo Ziling replied with a joke.
"What am I afraid of?" Ouyang Feifei rarely added a few emojis after her message.
Seeing Ouyang Feifei’s reply with a few disdainful emojis, Luo Ziling was immediately a bit annoyed.
But in the end, he just sent back a few angry emojis.
Ouyang Feifei sent back a rolling eyes emoji, also without any text.
Luo Ziling didn’t pay further attention to her, tossed aside his phone, and continued to think.
But the message alert soon sounded again.
He thought it was a message from Ouyang Feifei, but upon checking, it was from Lin Lan.
"Need to see you, it’s imperative!"
Lin Lan’s messages held more importance for Luo Ziling than most people’s.
Their past relationship was one reason, but more importantly, whenever she sought him out, it wasn’t for trivial matters.
It’s either to discuss very important matters or to undertake significant tasks.
"When?" Luo Ziling quickly replied.
"If convenient, come out now!" Lin Rulan’s reply came quickly.
"Send me the address, I’ll come over!"
"Okay." Lin Lan replied with "Okay," and then sent another message immediately: "Disguise a bit, don’t let anyone recognize you."
Lin Lan’s reminder made Luo Ziling’s heart skip a beat.
He knew clearly that Lin Lan sought him out not for some "important" task, but to convey significant information to him.
Without replying further, he quickly rolled off the bed.
Just then, Yang Qingyin, who had finished showering, came out of the bathroom.
Seeing Luo Ziling tidying up his clothes, she asked in surprise, "You’re leaving?"
"Lin Lan is looking for me and told me to disguise properly so no one recognizes me. I suspect something has happened, possibly related to my dad," Luo Ziling didn’t hide the truth and told Yang Qingyin, "I’m off to meet him now. If I return early, I’ll come find you!"
"Just go, don’t worry about me. I’ll take a good rest today. The final exams are approaching, I need to prepare. If you’re busy, don’t disturb me, so I won’t be distracted," Yang Qingyin said, stretching her hands to give Luo Ziling a hug and then pushing him away, "Go ahead, go ahead, a beauty beckons you, knowing you’re eager. I won’t keep you here."
Luo Ziling was momentarily at a loss, crying and laughing.
After summoning Wuyue, they found a secluded spot to help each other with disguises.
Only when they were certain no one could recognize them did Luo Ziling instruct Wuyue to escort him to meet Lin Lan.
The address Lin Lan sent to Luo Ziling was within the Summer Palace near the school.
Since the meeting was taking place in the Summer Palace area, Luo Ziling dressed as a tourist—large sunglasses and a hat.
The makeup techniques taught by Shanque were handy again. Anyway, when he looked in the mirror, he felt confident no one would recognize him.
Lin Lan had also disguised herself; in fact, Luo Ziling didn’t recognize her until he was standing in front of her.
Seeing Luo Ziling meet Lin Lan, Wuyue, who was assigned to protect them, discreetly disappeared without disturbing their conversation.
"What’s going on? You seemed frantic to find me, has something happened?" Luo Ziling asked the completely transformed Lin Lan, who now seemed like a rural elder sister.
"An inspection team suddenly set up in Dragon Rise, and Phoenix is being held under restrictions. Your father was also summoned; who knows when he’ll return." Lin Lan spoke quietly and solemnly, "There was no sign of this. You should know Phoenix was just about to go out for a mission, and your dad was arranging plans."
"It seems today’s actions have upset some people, and this is their warning to me!" Luo Ziling quickly connected her words with today’s events, his eyes flashed with fury, and he said angrily, "These people are too abominable."
"What exactly happened?" Lin Lan furrowed her brows.
"I’ll contact my mom right away to inform my grandfather!" Though outraged, Luo Ziling felt a bit excited.
Ling Mingrui’s reaction is crucial; if he truly intends to intervene, this incident will certainly not be minor.
