About an hour later, Lin Jiaying was brought over.
Seeing Lin Jiaying being brought in, Li Xiaoqing, who had been slapped three times by Luo Ziling, immediately rushed over to fight Lin Jiaying desperately.
In the past hour or so, Li Xiaoqing lost his temper several times, and each time he lost his temper, it resulted in a slap from Luo Ziling.
After losing his temper twice and receiving two slaps, touching his swollen face, he dared not be arrogant anymore.
At this point, Li Xiaoqing already knew that Luo Ziling was not someone to be trifled with; when he makes a move, he does not hesitate and shows no mercy.
The mentality of a wise man suffering no loss taught him quickly to tread carefully.
But Li Xiaoqing was after all a young man; after being bullied by Luo Ziling, he felt enraged. Seeing Lin Jiaying come over, and knowing Lin Jiaying had lost his freedom and was unable to resist, he immediately vented his anger on him.
Luo Ziling gave Wuyue a look, and understanding, Wuyue immediately signaled the two people holding Lin Jiaying to let go.
Thus, Li Xiaoqing and Lin Jiaying began to wrestle.
When Li Xiaoqing made his move, Lin Jiaying was still not free, his hands held, so he was at a disadvantage.
Li Xiaoqing, harboring a belly full of fire, struck with great ferocity.
After being punched and kicked a few times by Li Xiaoqing, Lin Jiaying finally reacted and fought back with all his might.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of Luo Ziling and Wuyue, the two fought fiercely until they collapsed to the ground exhausted, stopping only then.
As their fight was nearly over, Ling Zhengjian was also brought over.
Seeing Lin Jiaying and Li Xiaoqing collapsed on the ground, the already frightened Ling Zhengjian was deeply startled, almost collapsing, thinking they had been tortured to confession.
Seeing Ling Zhengjian like this, Luo Ziling knew how to deal with him.
He gave Wuyue another look, who understood and ordered two people to tie Ling Zhengjian to a chair, binding his hands and feet.
Ling Zhengjian immediately fell into panic.
"Confess, Li Xiaoqing has told us everything. If you don’t want to end up like them, then speak up!"
Unexpectedly, while Luo Ziling was speaking, Li Xiaoqing, who was just collapsed on the ground, suddenly jumped up, rushed at Ling Zhengjian, bound to the chair, and started punching and kicking him while cursing.
Ling Zhengjian, scared half to death, hurriedly begged for mercy and asked Luo Ziling to save him.
Under Luo Ziling’s gaze, Wuyue had Li Xiaoqing pulled away.
The bruised and battered Ling Zhengjian lost all reason, struggling desperately to fight Li Xiaoqing.
Li Xiaoqing, of course, wouldn’t back down, angrily cursing Ling Zhengjian and Lin Jiaying for their vileness in framing him in such a manner.
He also reprimanded them for their heartlessness in plotting to murder their fellow brothers.
Naturally, Lin Jiaying and Ling Zhengjian were unwilling to comply, leading to a heated argument among the three.
Luo Ziling and Wuyue watched as spectators, very interested in witnessing their escalating curses.
They did not intervene, except when the three seemed about to fight physically.
After almost an hour and a half of continued chaos among the three, Luo Ziling finally figured out everything.
Li Xiaoqing had not lied; indeed, everything happened as he said, with Lin Jiaying and Ling Zhengjian intending to use his hand to teach Ling Haijun a lesson.
Only they hadn’t expected the people they hired hadn’t escaped in time and were caught by Luo Ziling’s people.
One misstep, downfall entirely, leading to the current situation.
By the time Luo Ziling finished the interrogation and figured out the situation, it was lunchtime.
As Luo Ziling was preparing to have lunch with Wuyue, Ling Ruonan called to inquire about the situation.
Luo Ziling also truthfully explained the situation.
"I’ll come to get them, take them to see your grandfather, and let him make a decision," Ling Ruonan stated her plan.
Luo Ziling naturally did not refuse Ling Ruonan’s intention, readily agreeing.
He instructed Wuyue to bring the people over and then, together with Ling Ruonan, present them before Ling Mingrui for him to handle the matter.
As for Li Xiaoqing, though not such a crucial figure anymore, he must also be brought to Ling Mingrui for confrontation.
The video from the recent interrogation process was definitely to be taken for Ling Mingrui and Ling Ruonan to review.
Subsequently, Luo Ziling informed Ling Zhenghui of the matter.
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenghui expressed that he would also come to see for himself and hear Ling Mingrui’s handling plan firsthand.
Ling Zhenghui thanked Luo Ziling over the phone and said that after Ling Haijun recovered, he would certainly continue working with Luo Ziling. He hoped Luo Ziling would provide Ling Haijun with more opportunities for training, believing Ling Haijun would repay Luo Ziling’s trust with his greatest effort.
Luo Ziling did not refuse.
After instructing Wuyue to send them away, Luo Ziling returned to school.
He had to teach a class for the freshmen in the afternoon.
Originally, he had a class in the morning, but due to business, he asked Dong Xiaowan to substitute for him temporarily.
Although Dong Xiaowan was somewhat reluctant, she eventually went.
When Luo Ziling arrived at school, Dong Xiaowan immediately ran over and curiously asked what things had kept Luo Ziling busy.
"Girls should focus on their duties, don’t meddle in so many matters." Luo Ziling replied irritably, "Men’s issues aren’t for you women to meddle in, aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Dong Xiaowan was quite exasperated, but seeing Wang Feiyang also come over eventually stopped her from losing her temper.
While Luo Ziling was teaching a class for the students, he received a call from Wu Ningjing but did not answer, directly hanging up.
Wu Ningjing kept calling, and Luo Ziling hung up again, finally turning off his phone.
Only after class ended did he turn his phone back on and return Wu Ningjing’s call.
As soon as the call connected, he explained the reason first and spoke about Li Xiaoqing’s matter.
After hearing what Luo Ziling said, Wu Ningjing seemed very distraught.
"Is his life thus ruined forever?" she choked as she asked Luo Ziling.
"A doting mother often spoils her son!" Luo Ziling, not moved by Wu Ningjing’s tears, replied sternly, "He’s swindled several million from you and Yuqing, which is already severe. Now he’s involved in a murder case; don’t plead for him. He made mistakes and must be punished. Rest assured, he doesn’t deserve death, and if you forgive him, his punishment won’t be too harsh. But he must face punishment so he can recognize his mistakes, repent, and only then turn over a new leaf and become a new person."
Having heard Luo Ziling, Wu Ningjing remained silent.
After a moment’s silence, she informed Luo Ziling she would visit Ling Ruonan and her son tonight to discuss this matter face-to-face.
She also planned for Luo Yuqing to return to Yanjing first to discuss the matter collectively.
Luo Ziling initially wanted to refuse Wu Ningjing’s visit, but after some thought, he eventually agreed.
