"Are you okay?" When Luo Ziling came over, Lin Lan immediately approached, "Where are the reinforcements?"
"I’m fine!" Luo Ziling shook his head, "It was close today, almost got my head blown off."
Yang Qingyin, with a pale face, looked dazedly at the car overturned on the ground, not knowing what to say.
"Why don’t you take a break in the car!" Luo Ziling patted Yang Qingyin’s shoulder, comforting her, "It’s already over. As for who wants to kill me, we should be able to track down some clues."
Yang Qingyin lightly nodded and obediently sat in the car left by Yang Xiaodong.
Ye Xiaoli also got in the car and went to comfort Yang Qingyin.
The police politely asked Luo Ziling some questions and didn’t bother him too much.
A little while later, his subordinates reported that those little thugs who had just come to harass Luo Ziling had all been caught.
Those people confessed that they were invited by someone to come and identify people.
The ones who hired them gave them some photos of Luo Ziling and a few thousand yuan as a reward, with the purpose of confirming Luo Ziling’s identity.
Upon hearing this, Wuyue immediately instructed his subordinates to investigate all external contact information of the number the thugs had just contacted.
Subsequently, Wuyue requested the police to share the nearby surveillance footage with them, as they planned to trace the activities of these two killers over the past few days together with the police. After consulting with their superiors, the police agreed to Wuyue’s rather unreasonable request.
While they were busy, Ling Ruonan’s call came through.
"What’s going on again?" Ling Ruonan’s voice was very anxious, "Are you alright?"
"I’m okay now!" Luo Ziling replied with a wry smile, "If I had reacted a second later, I would definitely be a brainless corpse now."
With a "bang," Luo Ziling heard something fall to the ground near his ear, followed by silence.
"Need to buy a new phone again!" Luo Ziling shook his head helplessly, knowing that his words just scared Ling Ruonan.
About two minutes later, Luo Ziling’s phone rang again. It was from an unfamiliar number, but Luo Ziling still picked it up.
It was still Ling Ruonan calling.
She told Luo Ziling that she was on her way and would arrive in about fifteen minutes.
She had already called the leaders of the nearby police stations and sub-bureaus, and those higher-level leaders would come over soon as well.
"I called your grandfather and told him what just happened. He’s also very angry," Ling Ruonan had calmed down and instructed Luo Ziling, "Try to let Lin Zeping and Wang Zhengqiang know about this too, and make the issue as big as possible."
"Okay!" Luo Ziling agreed and said he would post on Weibo right away.
Ling Ruonan didn’t object.
When Luo Ziling opened the Weibo app and was about to post, he saw that his previous posts already had millions of views, with hundreds of thousands of shares and comments reaching six figures, marveling at the power of the internet.
He took a photo of the crashed car and nearby police officers, and found a photo showing the mess at the hot pot place they had just visited.
He added a caption to the three photos: "Rarely went out for a late-night snack, and ended up almost losing my life due to sabotage. Is this how you get punished for doing positive things?"
After posting on Weibo, Luo Ziling put away his phone and didn’t pay attention to the fans’ reactions.
Sitting in the car, Yang Qingyin, who had gradually calmed down, was very angry about the day’s events and originally planned to help Luo Ziling by posting on Weibo to increase the influence. She didn’t expect that while figuring out what to post, she saw that Luo Ziling had already posted.
So, she logged into her own Weibo and added a reply under Luo Ziling’s post: "Close encounter with a killer, saw the power of the sniper rifle again, some people are too ruthless, want to exterminate us, I won’t let it go."
After replying to that message, Yang Qingyin logged out of her Weibo and logged into Luo Ziling’s account to pin her own reply.
While Yang Qingyin was replying, the Weibo post Luo Ziling sent already had hundreds of thousands of views, many comments, and shares.
Luo Ziling, of course, didn’t pay attention to these. He was discussing opinions with Lin Lan and Wuyue.
He told Lin Lan and Wuyue about Ling Ruonan coming over.
Hearing that Ling Ruonan was coming, Wuyue looked guilty and said, "Young master, I’ve let you down again!"
"This is something unpredictable, none of us knew that there would still be such brutal people hiring killers against us." Luo Ziling comforted Wuyue, saying, "It’s not your responsibility, it’s my own carelessness. I will explain this matter to my mom later."
Wuyue remained silent, still trapped in self-blame.
If something had happened to Luo Ziling today, if he had gotten hurt or died, she would never forgive herself.
In between the conversations, Luo Ziling received a call from Luo Yuqing.
"What’s going on, damn it?" Luo Yuqing appeared very anxious, "Hurry and tell me what’s going on? Are you hurt? Are you okay?"
Luo Ziling briefly explained the incident and boasted a bit while jokingly said, "Luckily I reacted quickly and jumped up, otherwise, I’d be dead. If I died, would I time travel to somewhere else? Tell me, if I time traveled, to which dynasty should it be? Han Dynasty? Tang Dynasty? Ming? Or should it be returning to Zhonghua at the end of the Yuan or Qing Dynasty? Troubled times produce heroes, I think traveling to chaotic times, maybe I could become an emperor."
"Luo Ziling, at this time, you’re still in the mood to joke?" Luo Yuqing shouted angrily, "Do you know, people are scared to death."
"Just afraid you’d be scared, so I teased you a bit. It’s fine, not a hair on me got hurt, and the killers were caught by us." Luo Ziling still laughed, "Don’t worry, I’m lucky, I won’t die easily. I have the protagonist’s halo, even if something happens, there won’t be any accidents. Okay, don’t disturb me for now, I have to deal with the police interrogation!"
"I’ll go back to Yanjing tomorrow, on the earliest flight or high-speed train." Luo Yuqing said, hanging up the phone before Luo Ziling could respond.
Shortly after, Wang Feiyang called, anxiously asking what had happened.
Luo Ziling didn’t hide anything and briefly explained the situation.
"Who would make a move?" Wang Feiyang seemed very angry, speaking with a murderous tone, "Is it still those long-standing enemies?"
"I don’t know!" Luo Ziling looked up at the sky for a while, then said softly, "I suddenly feel that this is a premeditated attempt to frame someone else."
"What do you mean?"
"Wait for me to figure out the situation before I tell you!"
