As the three were talking, Luo Liansheng came back.
When Luo Liansheng came in, Luo Ziling smelled a whiff of alcohol and curiously asked, "Grandpa, who did you drink with?"
"I went to drink with Ling Jinhua tonight." Luo Liansheng let out a burp and then chuckled, "Good thing I came back, turns out you all are here."
"Dad, I was worried about Ruonan and Ling’er, so I came back to check!" Luo Xusheng walked up to Luo Liansheng, lowered his head and said softly, "There have been many things happening recently, not convenient to come back, I couldn’t be involved in your affairs at the first moment..."
"With Ruonan and Ling’er around, nothing will go wrong!" Luo Liansheng waved his hand and sat down on the sofa.
Ling Ruonan quickly made a cup of tea for Luo Liansheng and placed it in front of him, then quietly asked, "Dad, what did my grandpa say to you?"
Luo Xusheng brought some fruit for Luo Liansheng and sat down next to the old man.
Ling Ruonan sat down next to Luo Xusheng, quietly waiting for Luo Liansheng to talk about having dinner with Ling Jinhua that night.
Luo Ziling also sat down on the other side of Luo Liansheng, diligently peeling an apple for him.
Luo Liansheng seemed to thoroughly enjoy the attentive service from the younger generation, his face full of smiles.
"Your grandpa said Ling’er likes to cause trouble, and I argued with him about it for quite a while." Luo Liansheng, taking the apple peeled by Luo Ziling, started eating, saying, "Why doesn’t he talk about his unruly grandchildren and great-grandchildren who enjoy making trouble?"
"Grandpa, did you guys have an argument?" Luo Ziling asked with interest, "You definitely had a fight, drinking and arguing at the same time."
"I told him, without my grandson, he couldn’t sit here drinking and arguing with me now." Luo Liansheng squinted at Luo Ziling, then at Ling Ruonan who looked a bit embarrassed, and continued, "I told him to think about it; the things my grandson does are way ahead of his, not to mention great-grandchildren."
"Grandpa, among Great Grandfather’s grandchildren, only my mom is quite excellent, the others aren’t much." Luo Ziling pointed to Ling Ruonan sitting beside him and smiled, "But I guess Great Grandfather wouldn’t use my mom to compete with you, right!"
"Hehehe!" Luo Liansheng laughed and patted Luo Ziling’s arm, "Your Great Grandfather may not be fully satisfied with you, but he recognizes your abilities. He said that as long as you don’t harm the interests of the Ling Family, the Ling Family will certainly give you strong support."
This statement from Luo Liansheng left Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling, and Luo Xusheng very surprised.
The abruptness of Luo Liansheng’s words caught them off guard.
"I’ve had quite a bit to drink and argued as well, and in the end, that was the result." Luo Liansheng was very pleased with the surprise on the faces of the three, and without keeping them in suspense, he explained directly, "Some things that have happened recently, if Ruonan finds a chance to talk with him, he should have a different attitude."
"Okay!" Ling Ruonan immediately agreed, "I’ll visit grandpa tomorrow at noon and have a chat with him."
"Tomorrow I’ll go drink with your father." Luo Liansheng squinted, smiling at Ling Ruonan, "I guess I won’t need to argue with him."
"I want to take Ziling for dinner tomorrow, why don’t we go together!" Ling Ruonan suggested, "Let Ziling take you along."
"Alright!" Luo Liansheng readily agreed without being pretentious, "Let’s go together then!"
Luo Liansheng didn’t detail the argument he had with Ling Jinhua that night during dinner, Luo Ziling originally wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he didn’t open his mouth.
Luo Liansheng didn’t go into details, only mentioning the beginning and the result, probably to avoid embarrassing Ling Ruonan.
Since that’s the case, he didn’t say more.
After the four chatted for a while, Luo Xusheng was the first to leave.
He said he needed to get back to the base early.
Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling didn’t ask much and let him go.
As he was leaving, Luo Xusheng gave Luo Ziling a look.
Luo Ziling understood, stood up to see Luo Xusheng off, allowing Ling Ruonan and Luo Liansheng to have a private conversation about the day’s events.
"The incident in Jiangcheng, was it your doing?" Once outside, Luo Xusheng immediately asked about the matter.
Luo Ziling didn’t deny it, nodding slightly and explained, "I orchestrated it; Wuyue’s people didn’t leave any traces, and the police didn’t find any useful clues. However, there are ambiguous leads pointing to the Chen Family, as long as the police persist, they will eventually suspect the Chen Family."
After hearing what Luo Ziling said, Luo Xusheng didn’t say anything immediately.
He thought carefully for a moment, then lightly nodded, "Be careful, don’t let more people know about this. Don’t tell your mom either, don’t let her know."
"I understand!" Luo Ziling nodded.
Luo Xusheng further cautioned, "If the trip to Europe really happens, be careful; you just need to provide medication, leave the rest to them. You’re under no obligation. Also, you should follow instructions, don’t act recklessly."
"Alright!" Luo Ziling didn’t argue with Luo Xusheng about this point, anyway he wouldn’t be going to Europe; when in Europe, no one could control him. He wouldn’t operate as instructed by Luo Xusheng, and if someone got injured or needed rescue, he would definitely step in.
Luo Xusheng asked a few more questions about Luo Ziling’s visit to the military compound, and Luo Ziling answered truthfully.
Upon hearing about Wang Rongjun’s daughter, Wang Guoguo, Luo Xusheng was quite surprised.
But he didn’t comment on this matter.
As Luo Ziling mentioned that he would be going to the military compound again to help treat Zhao Guosheng and Li Haiyang, it seemed to trigger something in Luo Xusheng.
"Get along well with them; if they suggest you join the military, you might consider it."
"I’ll think about it!" Luo Ziling hadn’t thought about wearing a military uniform, so he responded vaguely, "I’m still a student now, busy with lab work and teaching assignments, no time to think about extra things."
Luo Xusheng didn’t say more, advising Luo Ziling to go back and accompany Luo Liansheng and Ling Ruonan for more conversation, and then he left.
However, Luo Ziling didn’t return to the living room immediately; he called Wuyue over to inquire about some matters.
Upon hearing that Luo Xusheng had already guessed that the Jiangcheng incident was their doing, Wuyue wasn’t particularly surprised.
It’s not unimaginable that Luo Xusheng would know about it.
She assured Luo Ziling that she would be cautious and wouldn’t let the issue get out of control.
"I’ll handle Ling Haijun’s injury first. You keep a close eye on the attack on my mom."
Wuyue nodded earnestly.
