When Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing were discussing matters, Wuyue returned.
Seeing Wuyue return, Luo Yuqing tactfully left.
"Sister Wuyue, you two chat, I’ll go make arrangements, I have a meeting tonight." After greeting Wuyue, Luo Yuqing said to Luo Ziling, "If you have time, you should make an appearance too, your words might be more effective than mine!"
"Alright!" Luo Ziling agreed readily.
Luo Yuqing’s change was quite swift.
Her demeanor today was completely different from a few days before, as if she was a changed person.
A woman’s capriciousness—this was something Luo Ziling genuinely felt.
A few days ago, Luo Yuqing’s words and actions were somewhat arrogant, as if she intended to dominate the world.
But today her demeanor was clearly different, becoming much more composed.
Although on the way, Luo Ziling was mocked by her a few times, when real issues arose, her reaction was much more subdued than before.
Setbacks truly can make a person mature.
A few days ago, Luo Yuqing felt pressure from Ling Ruonan, and even Luo Ziling voiced his views to her. Hopefully, she reflected on this and realized her mistakes.
It’s a good thing, Luo Ziling thought Luo Yuqing was quite smart if she understood when to advance and retreat, that would be beneficial.
After Luo Yuqing left, Luo Ziling hurriedly inquired about the situation with Wuyue.
"Young master, the issue has been resolved!" Wuyue said calmly, "We discovered a total of three groups of trackers, and they are not affiliated with each other."
"Three groups?" Luo Ziling’s face turned pale, "Does that mean there are three forces trying to attack me in Hengdian?"
Wuyue thought for a moment and eventually nodded.
Seeing Wuyue nod but not speak further, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed, "Stop playing games, tell me everything that happened just now."
"The first group of trackers fled during our counterattack but ultimately got into a car accident, colliding with a large truck. Among the four people, three died and one was seriously injured."
"Damn, lives were lost?" Luo Ziling looked at Wuyue with a face full of surprise, "Was it an accident or something you planned?"
"It was an accident!" Wuyue replied unperturbedly, "They ran a red light while fleeing and collided with a normally driving heavy truck. The car disintegrated upon impact, three died on the spot, and one was sent to the hospital, uncertain of life or death!"
As Wuyue spoke, she handed her phone to Luo Ziling to show him the scene.
Luo Ziling glanced at it and pushed the phone away.
The scene was so horrific, even though he had experienced and witnessed life and death numerous times, he still felt a chill.
Wuyue put away the phone and continued calmly, "Another group fled during our pursuit too but we caught two of them in the end. According to them, some people from Yanjing offered a heavy reward to hire them for the attack, but they didn’t know who hired them."
"What about the other group?"
"They managed to escape!" Wuyue’s expression didn’t change, but as Luo Ziling felt a bit disappointed, she made a surprising turn, "Before they escaped, we fired shots, killing one and injuring one. However, the remaining managed to escape, and the casualties didn’t leave behind anything."
"Did it alarm the police?" Luo Ziling hadn’t expected such a big commotion, feeling a bit troubled.
The deaths caused by the traffic accident weren’t concerning, it was just that the driver violated traffic regulations and caused a fatal accident, even if the police intervened, it wouldn’t be a big issue. But shooting and injuring people is a completely different nature.
If the police investigate, it could be troublesome.
Wuyue shook her head: "No pedestrians were alarmed, and the police have made no moves yet."
Wuyue’s response surprised Luo Ziling.
They each killed and injured a person, yet no pedestrians were alarmed; how did they manage it?
However, he didn’t press for details. Such things Wuyue knew were enough; he didn’t need to be so clear.
Wuyue and her team were elite special forces who could kill unobtrusively in bustling areas; killing and injuring one each during a chase without alarming pedestrians wasn’t extraordinary.
Wuyue seemed to see Luo Ziling’s doubt and explained briefly: "Our sniper hit the person in the passenger seat of their car; one bullet struck two people."
"Alright!" Luo Ziling didn’t know what to say, "Hopefully, the police don’t intervene."
Actually, Luo Ziling didn’t know Wuyue had snipers under her command.
"If the police intervene, that’s even better; the matter can be blown up further!" Wuyue unexpectedly smiled, "Today’s commotion wasn’t big enough."
"I’ll tell my mom and grandfather; then the matter will be big enough." Luo Ziling also smiled, "I believe after today’s events, they won’t dare do anything else. If they dare try something, we’ll retaliate even harder."
"Young master, what should we do next?" Wuyue sought Luo Ziling mainly to inquire about the aftermath, whether to continue pursuing the escapees or to drop it, all up to Luo Ziling’s decision.
"They probably hired local people, so even if investigated, it wouldn’t be easy to uncover, let’s see how things develop and decide tomorrow." Luo Ziling instructed Wuyue to closely monitor the police and others, secure the place they were staying, and refrain from further actions for now.
He also asked Wuyue to prepare for a trip to Yuezhou and get ready for "fishing."
Wuyue didn’t express further opinions, obediently nodding.
"You haven’t had dinner yet, right?" Luo Ziling smiled, patting Wuyue’s shoulder, "Go have dinner first, eat more, maybe there’ll be something happening tonight."
"Hmm!" Wuyue nodded, smiling back at Luo Ziling, then turned to leave.
"Sleep next to my room tonight," before Wuyue exited, Luo Ziling pointed to the other room in his suite, "If anything happens, we can coordinate."
Wuyue hesitated for a moment but finally nodded, though Luo Ziling clearly saw she looked a bit awkward.
After Wuyue left, Luo Ziling called Ling Ruonan to inform her of the recent events.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "bang" on the other end, like something falling and shattering.
Luo Ziling hadn’t had a chance to ask what happened when Ling Ruonan’s voice came through gritted teeth: "Who is it?"
"At least three forces," Luo Ziling didn’t hide, "They appeared as soon as we arrived in Hengdian."
"I will tell your grandfather. If they make another move, strike them hard, show no mercy!" Ling Ruonan’s voice carried a chilling coldness, "I’ll send a few more people to support you. Be careful and don’t make mistakes."
"Got it!" Hearing Ling Ruonan propose to inform Ling Mingrui, Luo Ziling felt relieved.
