Ling Haijun was sent to Haiding District People’s Hospital, the nearest hospital to the scene of the incident.
When Luo Ziling arrived at Haiding District People’s Hospital in the car driven by Wuyue, Ling Haijun had already been taken to the operating room.
According to the person beside Ling Haijun, his injuries were serious. He was stabbed twice in the chest and may have had a blood vessel punctured, which caused significant bleeding. By the time he was sent to the hospital, he had already fallen into a coma and is currently being rescued.
After asking the medical staff, they said Ling Haijun was already in surgery and that his vital signs were relatively stable, so there’s no major threat to his life. Luo Ziling ultimately decided to let the doctors continue the rescue. Surgery to stop bleeding is one of the most effective treatments for ruptured major blood vessels, and since the surgery was already halfway done, Luo Ziling couldn’t just rush in and take over the rescue.
He waited at the door of the operating room.
After standing for a short while, Ling Haijun’s parents, Ling Zhenghui and Li Lanying, also arrived.
They received the notice at almost the same time as Luo Ziling, but they lived further away, so they arrived a little later.
Upon hearing Luo Ziling say that Ling Haijun had been taken to the operating room, Ling Zhenghui and Li Lanying both paled with fright.
Li Lanying couldn’t help but wipe her tears, repeatedly asking Luo Ziling what was going on.
"I’m not aware of the specific situation," Luo Ziling pointed to the person standing beside him who had worked alongside Ling Haijun, "He should know the specifics."
"What exactly happened?" Ling Zhenghui asked sternly, staring at the person who was responsible for Ling Haijun’s security, "Who did this?"
"This morning, I was jogging with the young master and when we reached the park corner, a few people suddenly came rushing over and attacked the young master without a word." The person reported with a frightened look, "I was about ten meters behind the young master at the time, and by the time I rushed over, it was too late. They didn’t linger, stabbed the young master, and ran away. I didn’t chase them, immediately stopped the young master’s bleeding, called for an ambulance, and notified Miss Wuyue. There should be surveillance around there; retrieving the footage might reveal the whereabouts of those people."
Ling Zhenghui immediately took out his phone, made two calls, and instructed the people around him to retrieve the surveillance information.
After giving orders, he walked over to Luo Ziling and quietly asked, "Ziling, what do you think is going on?"
"It should be retaliation," Luo Ziling said with certainty, "And I suspect it might be someone from the Ling Family. Of course, this is just my guess; it’s not necessarily the case. Haijun has been working smoothly with me and has gained a good position during this time, some people might be envious and take advantage of the current chaos to attack him out of spite, which is very possible. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that some people want to scare us as a warning, but that likelihood is small. Moreover, Haijun might have had conflicts with others, and those people might have planned this attack."
Ling Zhenghui nodded lightly, acknowledging Luo Ziling’s analysis.
"I will have people investigate the situation thoroughly." Luo Ziling said calmly, "I will also inform grandfather and let him express his stance. Recently, people from the Ling Family have been attacked repeatedly; grandfather and great-grandfather certainly will not allow such occurrences to continue."
Ling Zhenghui nodded again and softly said, "I’ll leave it to you then, Ziling!"
"The doctor just said there’s no danger to life, it should be fine now, don’t worry too much. I’ll check Haijun’s condition after the surgery." As he spoke, Luo Ziling looked at the tearful Li Lanying, "Initially, I wanted to immediately assist in treating Haijun, but when I arrived he was already in the operating room, so I didn’t disturb."
"Then I’ll trouble you, Ziling!" Li Lanying wiped her eyes and choked, "Who is so heartless to do this to Haijun?"
Luo Ziling sighed, saying meaningfully, "This sort of thing has happened to me too often already. I just didn’t expect they would target Haijun. They’re heartless; once they act, they aim for one’s life."
While they were talking, Wuyue came to report that they had already captured the two suspects who stabbed Ling Haijun ahead of the police.
She asked Luo Ziling whether to hand these suspects over to the police or handle them themselves.
"Question them first, once we’ve learned the situation, we’ll turn them over to the police." Luo Ziling made the decision without hesitation.
Wuyue nodded and immediately went to give instructions.
After hearing that the two attackers of Ling Haijun had been captured, Ling Zhenghui’s face brimmed with anger, "Those scoundrels, I won’t forgive them."
Ling Zhenghui originally wanted to personally go over and ask a few questions, but considering Ling Haijun would soon be out of surgery, he decided not to.
While Luo Ziling was waiting with Ling Zhenghui at the operating room door, he received a call from Ling Ruonan.
After inquiring about the situation, Ling Ruonan indicated she would inform Ling Mingrui. She asked Luo Ziling to convey her greetings to Ling Haijun and instructed him to tell Ling Zhenghui that she would visit Haijun after work.
Luo Ziling handed his phone directly to Ling Zhenghui, letting Ling Ruonan speak with him.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Ling Ruonan, Ling Zhenghui ended the call.
Shortly thereafter, Wuyue hurried back.
She informed Luo Ziling that the two captured suspects had confessed to being instructed by Li Xiaoqing to attack Ling Haijun.
Hearing that it was Li Xiaoqing, Luo Ziling was very surprised.
He did not doubt it; he just didn’t expect Li Xiaoqing to be involved in this matter.
He immediately instructed Wuyue to apprehend Li Xiaoqing and question her.
Luo Ziling is determined to find out if Li Xiaoqing really ordered the attack or if someone was plotting against him.
Wuyue naturally obeyed, quickly ordering people to capture Li Xiaoqing.
However, Luo Ziling didn’t inform Ling Zhenghui of the recent developments.
He told Ling Zhenghui that those two people were tight-lipped, unwilling to confess, and spouted nonsense, which led him to instruct his men to interrogate them more harshly.
Subsequently, Luo Ziling used the excuse of going to the restroom to step away from Ling Zhenghui and made a call to Luo Yuqing.
When Luo Ziling told her that Li Xiaoqing might have ordered the stabbing of Ling Haijun, Luo Yuqing was shocked.
"That bastard, how could he do such a stupid thing?" Luo Yuqing angrily exclaimed over the phone, "If he really did it, I won’t let him off."
Luo Yuqing was well aware that if Li Xiaoqing was indeed behind the attack, the situation would be troublesome.
Actually, she didn’t quite believe Li Xiaoqing was involved, as there was no reason. She thought it might be a setup by others, so after cursorily cursing Li Xiaoqing, she also urged Luo Ziling to investigate thoroughly and quickly clarify the situation.
She instructed Luo Ziling not to let her mother know about this for the time being.
Luo Ziling naturally agreed.
