Very soon, Luo Yuqing suggested leaving, saying she would discuss things further with Wu Ningjing and Li Xiaoqing once she got back.
Ling Ruonan didn’t try to keep them, and stood up to see them out.
Luo Xusheng didn’t express any opinions throughout. When Luo Yuqing, Li Xiaoqing, and Wu Ningjing stood up to leave, he also rose to see them out.
As he got up, Luo Xusheng hesitated for a moment, finally saying, "Yuqing, while handling this matter, you should communicate often with Ziling. After all, he has experience in dealing with such affairs."
"Of course!" Luo Yuqing smiled at Luo Xusheng.
Luo Xusheng glanced at Wu Ningjing but ultimately said nothing.
Wu Ningjing gave Luo Xusheng a couple of looks, her expression slightly bleak, but with Ling Ruonan present, she was reluctant to say anything.
Luo Xusheng hesitated again, but still spoke a few words: "Ningjing, if there’s anything, you can reach out to Ruonan and Ziling; they will surely help you. Hope you live well and don’t stir up more trouble. Currently, Ruonan and Ziling are also having a tough time; they’re under great pressure. Living alone is not easy; if you meet the right person, how about starting a family again?"
Luo Xusheng’s latter words left Wu Ningjing, Luo Yuqing, and Luo Ziling stunned.
Ling Ruonan showed no unusual expression or reaction.
"Alright, thank you!" Wu Ningjing replied through gritted teeth, "I’ll come to you if there’s anything."
After stepping out of the living room, Luo Yuqing grabbed Luo Ziling and whispered, "Where will you sleep tonight?"
"Why?" Luo Ziling looked wary.
"I’ll come find you later." Luo Yuqing gestured with her mouth towards Li Xiaoqing and Wu Ningjing on the other side, "I’ll go back and speak to them thoroughly, and then come find you."
"Alright then, just call me later!" Luo Ziling reluctantly agreed.
Luo Yuqing said nothing further and left with Wu Ningjing and Li Xiaoqing.
"Why did you suddenly come back today?" After returning to the living room, Ling Ruonan asked Luo Xusheng softly, "If you’re coming back, at least let us know."
"I decided last minute to return, initially not wanting others to know." Luo Xusheng pointed at Luo Ziling, "Returned mainly for Ling’er to discuss something."
"Dad, are you talking about the upcoming operation in Europe?"
Luo Xusheng nodded.
"Is the plan ready for execution?" Luo Ziling was slightly surprised.
It’s still September, with summer not yet over.
Initially, he thought the operation would start in autumn, around October or November.
"The exact time isn’t finally decided yet, but preparations are underway." Luo Xusheng spoke in a lowered voice, "You need to be ready to depart anytime; don’t let your personal matters affect everyone. This operation involves many aspects, and its success is of substantial importance."
"For such a matter, coming here personally to tell me, I will certainly take it seriously." Luo Ziling smiled, "Shouldn’t just be about this, any other instructions?"
"I discussed with Phoenix, if you indeed participate in the operation, then you just need to provide medications, don’t partake in other activities." Luo Xusheng said seriously, "Once the task force is formed, assignments will be arranged," Luo Xusheng continued, "Your assignment is to provide medications. Regardless of what happens, you refrain from involvement; others will take responsibility. Acting without orders will only bring more issues. This is the principle of special operations, everyone must follow."
"Does that mean if I encounter comrades injured or in dangerous situations, I cannot rescue them?" Luo Ziling frowned.
"Such situations won’t occur!" Luo Xusheng shook his head, "Even if someone is injured or sacrifices themselves, someone not in the same group won’t encounter it."
Luo Ziling didn’t completely understand Luo Xusheng’s meaning, but after some thought, he didn’t ask further.
For this matter, it would be better to consult Phoenix or Lin Lan.
He felt since Luo Xusheng had mentioned these matters, Phoenix or Lin Lan would definitely come discuss it with him.
After all, they are the actual planners of the operation.
After listening to the father-son discussion, Ling Ruonan, who had been attentively observing them, finally couldn’t resist interjecting: "Do you know precisely when you’ll leave?"
"Not decided yet!" Luo Xusheng shook his head, "Possibly this month, or next month, the specific time depends on the situation. But preparation should be complete, not scrambling unprepared upon departure. The Dragon Rise members don’t have these issues, mainly Ling’er. Came today to remind him of this matter."
"Nothing else?" Luo Ziling asked Luo Xusheng, his eyes full of amusement.
Luo Xusheng felt somewhat embarrassed but after glancing at Ling Ruonan, finally said bashfully: "Long time no see you all, took the chance to come back today and look. Did you argue with your parents when you visited them today?"
"You know about this?" Luo Ziling was a bit surprised.
"I’m worried you may run into trouble, any issues, I get notified immediately." While saying this, Luo Xusheng looked at Luo Ziling with a peculiar eye expression.
Luo Ziling felt a shock internally, realizing what Luo Xusheng’s gaze implied.
Last time in Jiangcheng, the matter where Wuyue instigated someone to target Ling Ruonan, very likely, Luo Xusheng knew the truth.
However, he didn’t worry much, knowing this matter wouldn’t be an issue since Luo Xusheng was aware.
But Ling Ruonan can’t know, otherwise, it would cause complications.
Luo Ziling suddenly thought Luo Xusheng’s return might also be to confirm this matter with him.
Ling Ruonan and Luo Xusheng started discussing the confrontation thought about today at Ling Mingrui’s place; later he informed Luo Xusheng that she’d bring Luo Ziling to dine with Ling Mingrui tomorrow evening to discuss the matters further.
"Anyway, be cautious and don’t let anyone bully you." Luo Xusheng said compassionately to Ling Ruonan.
Luo Xusheng’s demeanor made Ling Ruonan feel warm inside, yet she didn’t show it in front of Luo Ziling, only softly smiled.
Luo Ziling suddenly remembered the incident that occurred when he visited the Military Compound and mentioned it to Luo Xusheng.
Luo Xusheng, hearing this, was slightly surprised.
He originally thought that without Li Haiyang overseeing special forces, he might face difficulties.
Since the newly appointed Chen Dashu wasn’t promoted by Ling Mingrui, but rather someone from the opposing faction against Ling Family.
Someone not from Ling Family’s faction overseeing special forces’ affairs, causing trouble for Dragon Rise’s lead seemed understandable.
After hearing Luo Ziling’s explanation, Luo Xusheng understood a few things.
No wonder no one has troubled him lately; the higher-ups occasionally comment regarding these leads.
Apparently, Luo Ziling had stirred things up at the Military Compound.
Understanding this point, Luo Xusheng felt a bit unsatisfied internally.
Had worked for so many years, yet ultimately needed his wife and son to lead better days, seemed somewhat unworthy.
