After leaving the room where Yang Qingye and Yan Xiaoping were staying, Wuyue followed up.
In fact, she had also entered the room with Luo Ziling just now, but she had been hiding in the shadows, not revealing herself.
Originally, she thought Luo Ziling would give Yang Qingye a harsh lesson, making Yang Qingye learn some lessons and not daring to provoke him again.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling only gave a verbal lesson and didn’t take any action.
Wuyue felt a slight sense of disappointment.
She knew very well that with Luo Ziling handling it this way, Yang Qingye would definitely not be grateful and would only become angrier.
In a fit of impulse, Yang Qingye would surely take more excessive retaliatory actions.
This was the thing she was most worried about.
If Yang Qingye lost his mind and did something foolish, no matter the outcome, it would cause huge trouble.
At the very least, it would harm the relationship between Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin, Yang Yuanshan.
Although Wuyue hated Yang Yunlin, she also hoped that Luo Ziling could improve his relationship with the Yang family.
After all, the Yang Family is a large family, and if they could cooperate well, it would be quite beneficial for Luo Ziling.
But Yang Qingye would lose his mind.
This time, Luo Ziling didn’t hold Yang Qingye accountable and just left after some intimidation, leaving Wuyue feeling somewhat helpless, but she also didn’t dare to do anything secretly.
After leaving with Luo Ziling, she instructed a few subordinates to closely monitor Yang Qingye’s movements, and to report immediately if there was anything unusual.
After getting in the car, Luo Ziling didn’t immediately instruct Wuyue to leave but frowned and asked, "What do you think I should do?"
"Master, Yang Qingye won’t listen to your advice and will definitely retaliate again. By doing this, you’re essentially tearing the mask off, and he’s now even more unrestrained." Wuyue whispered her opinion and, after speaking, glanced at Luo Ziling sitting in the backseat through the rearview mirror.
"Now that the mask is off, I can also act without hesitation in the future." Luo Ziling smiled bitterly, then asked Wuyue to drive away.
After Wuyue started the car, Luo Ziling added, "No matter what, I have to save face for Yang Qingyin."
Wuyue didn’t reply but simply nodded slightly.
As the car moved forward, Luo Ziling took out his phone, pulled up a photo, and sent it to Yang Qingyin.
After sending the photo, he also wrote a message: "This is a photo taken by someone following that reporter named Yan Xiaoping at night. If to prove my innocence, to make everyone fully understand the situation, to reclaim justice for myself, I post this photo, then upload a few video clips of Yan Xiaoping explaining things, I will be cleared of everything."
However, Yang Qingyin did not reply.
Luo Ziling checked the time and found that it was already midnight.
He guessed Yang Qingyin had already fallen asleep, so he didn’t wait for her to reply.
Luo Ziling asked Wuyue to take him back to Ling Ruonan’s villa to sleep there.
Wuyue naturally complied.
After returning to the villa, Luo Ziling didn’t check other messages on his phone and went to sleep after taking a bath.
He was awakened by a call from Yang Qingyin early the next morning.
"Did you warn Qingye yesterday?" On the phone, Yang Qingyin’s voice was gentle, "How did he respond?"
After thinking for a moment, Luo Ziling answered, "I guess he’s currently furious and still plotting how to retaliate against me. I told him, if he does anything else targeting me, I won’t be polite. I told him that this time, for the sake of your sister, I won’t hold it against him, but next time, I won’t be so merciful. If he can be ruthless towards me, I can be equally ruthless. I just hope, after suffering a few losses, he learns some lessons and doesn’t act recklessly."
"He must hate you to the core!" Yang Qingyin sighed deeply.
"Are you reminding me to seriously consider the relationship between us?"
Yang Qingyin remained silent.
"Your father is your father, your brother is your brother, and you are you. I make these distinctions very clearly." Luo Ziling said helplessly, "Actually, you know everything I’ve been doing. You also know I’m quite measured and won’t mess around crazily."
After a brief silence, Yang Qingyin said, "My grandpa will be at home in the morning, I’ll go and talk to him about this matter, send me more information, I’ll let grandpa have a look!"
Luo Ziling didn’t refuse, and asked Wuyue to send more information to Yang Qingyin’s phone.
Meanwhile, Luo Ziling asked Wuyue to post photos of Yang Qingye and Yan Xiaoping in intimate situations along with a recording online, with Yang Qingye’s face pixelated. The accompanying text was also vaguely worded, generally meaning, this female reporter, at someone’s behest, maliciously slandered Luo Ziling, trying to ruin Mr. Luo Ziling’s image in the minds of the public.
This post caused a huge stir, making the originally much-admired beauty Yan Xiaoping quickly become reviled.
Many of her scandals were also uncovered by netizens, including how she had a close relationship with school leaders for a student council position when she was in school.
After starting work at a website, to gain the chief reporter position, she supposedly traded her body for it and was publicly chased and beaten by a man’s wife.
After these revelations, Yan Xiaoping was completely vilified as a shameless woman loathed by many, with a flood of online insults extending even to her parents.
After seeing these comments, Ouyang Huihui messaged Luo Ziling, suggesting that venting all his anger on one woman might be too cruel. After all, Yan Xiaoping was simply doing what she was instructed to do, not the mastermind.
Luo Ziling’s reply was: "If you do something wrong, you must pay the price. Before seeking benefits, one must consider the potential losses. Should everyone feel sorry for a villain’s tragic outcome? I’ve often been slandered and pursued despite not doing wrong, why doesn’t anyone sympathize with me? I just got lucky this time, as the villains didn’t succeed."
Luo Ziling didn’t tell others that Yang Qingye was behind it, only a few close people knew about it, and Ouyang Huihui didn’t know.
After receiving the message, Ouyang Huihui replied, "Sometimes women are naive and foolish. When they meet a man who moves them, they will willingly do anything for him, right or wrong. So, often, it’s not the woman who’s wrong, but the man who deceives them."
In response, Luo Ziling bluntly stated, "What often moves women is not the men themselves, no matter how tall, handsome, and graceful they are, but what those men possess, including money, status, and power. Don’t assume women nowadays are so pure. Those who don’t mix these into their relationships are very rare, and this woman named Yan certainly isn’t in that category, so she doesn’t deserve sympathy. I spared her life, she’s already lucky."
What Luo Ziling didn’t expect was that this reply instantly outraged Ouyang Huihui.
