Seeing Ling Ruonan being somewhat indifferent to Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling worried that Yang Qingyin might feel awkward, so he grabbed her hand, holding it in his palm, and whispered, "Don’t worry, we’ll get to the bottom of this."
Luo Ziling’s action earned him sidelong looks from Lin Lan and Wuyue, but Yang Qingyin felt a warmth in her heart.
She squeezed Luo Ziling’s hand tightly, then freed herself, and frankly said to Ling Ruonan, "Mrs. Ling, I’ll definitely go back tomorrow and ask them about this matter. I believe, after asking them, there will definitely be some results!"
Ling Ruonan thought for a moment and didn’t reject Yang Qingyin’s suggestion: "You handle it yourself then!"
Wuyue and Lin Lan expressed their thoughts one after another, both indicating a desire to investigate the matter overnight, aiming to get to the truth before the police act.
Ling Ruonan let them get busy.
Lin Lan and Wuyue didn’t say much more and left first.
After Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun discussed some situations, judgments, and speculations, they also went to work on the matter.
Wang Zhenjun proposed that it’s important to closely watch the movements of the Chen Family and Fang Family members; perhaps something could be discovered by observing their actions. It’s unlikely that any Ling Family members are involved in this.
At least, from the current situation, there’s no trace of Ling Family members’ involvement.
Since months ago, Wuyue had arranged personnel to monitor Ling Zhengping and other key descendants of the Ling Family’s actions.
From the surveillance situation, Ling Zhengping and other Ling Family members have been behaving themselves during this period, showing no unusual signs.
Ling Zhengping has been out of town for inspection these past two days and hasn’t contacted Yanjing’s subordinates by any means.
Therefore, Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun dare to confidently state that Ling Family members aren’t involved in this matter.
If Ling Family members aren’t involved, then the most likely suspects to take action against Luo Ziling are Chen Family members, Yang Family members, and Fang Family members.
Of course, there’s also the possibility of other involvement.
As Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun were leaving, Ouyang Feifei happened to come in.
Ouyang Feifei hadn’t dressed up well, likely rushing over upon hearing the news.
Upon entering, she urgently asked Luo Ziling if he was hurt.
After learning that Luo Ziling wasn’t injured, she let out a sigh of relief.
Ling Ruonan briefly explained the situation and thanked Ouyang Feifei for coming to visit at midnight.
"Huihui originally wanted to come too, but I didn’t let her." Ouyang Feifei said a bit apologetically, "She sent messages and called Ziling but got no reply, worried about an accident and wanted to come and check. I told her Ziling should be fine, not to come and cause trouble."
Ling Ruonan didn’t say anything; she just nodded gently.
After sitting down, Ouyang Feifei asked how the investigation was going, and Luo Ziling jumped in to say that the investigation was underway, and the specifics would be known in two days.
He told Ouyang Feifei that the police and security system’s elite forces were involved in the investigation, with national-level forces joining in, along with his own people, so the matter should be investigated clearly.
Seeing Luo Ziling say this, Ling Ruonan and Yang Qingyin glanced at him without bringing up the clues pointing to the Yang Family’s involvement.
Ouyang Feifei told Ling Ruonan that if needed, her people could also help investigate.
Luo Ziling initially thought Ling Ruonan would refuse, but was surprised when she readily agreed.
"Let Wuyue contact your people," Ling Ruonan sighed and continued, "I never thought such a thing would happen. The person who hired the hitman is ruthless, aiming to destroy us! If Ziling weren’t naturally sensitive to danger and reacted promptly, everything would be ruined."
At this point, Ling Ruonan once again showed a murderous intent: "Once the murderer is tracked down, I won’t let them off easily. The way they treat us, I’ll treat them the same way."
Ling Ruonan’s words sent a shiver down Yang Qingyin’s spine.
She was acutely aware that this was Ling Ruonan’s warning, or rather a forewarning.
If it turns out to be her father and brother’s doing, Ling Ruonan would still destroy them.
Understanding this, Yang Qingyin’s heart was full of bitterness.
For the first time, she truly felt that being with Luo Ziling was a huge mistake.
Feelings ultimately can’t stand against reality, at least not in many people’s lives.
If it was indeed Yang Yunlin and Yang Qingye who wanted to kill Luo Ziling, and Ling Ruonan acted against Yang Yunlin and Yang Qingye after uncovering the truth, eliminating them ultimately, no matter how deep her feelings for Luo Ziling, it would be impossible to be together.
If today’s matter was really done by Yang Yunlin and Yang Qingye, even if Ling Ruonan doesn’t retaliate, she would still be stuck in a difficult position.
Yang Qingye began to regret not should have gotten involved with Luo Ziling and having this relationship.
But she also knew that it was already too late to say these things now.
Their feelings couldn’t abruptly end.
If she requested to end the relationship at this time, it would hurt everyone involved.
Moreover, ending the relationship wouldn’t help matters and might even intensify the feud between the two families.
At least now, because of her, Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling might be lenient towards Yang Family members.
If it weren’t for this relationship, Yang Yunlin and Yang Qingye might really suffer a big loss.
Yang Qingyin knew about some of Luo Ziling’s tactics, including some unspeakable things he had done.
She believed Chen Jiahai died because of Luo Ziling, but no one could find even a shred of evidence.
This matter alone showed the terrifying nature of Luo Ziling’s methods; if he used such tactics against her father and brother without restraint, the outcome would be unimaginable.
She could only sit there quietly, head down, unable to respond to Ling Ruonan’s threatening words.
Yang Qingyin’s behavior seemed a bit odd, prompting Ouyang Feifei to glance at her several times.
She seemed to sense something but was too embarrassed to voice it.
"Mrs. Ling, thank goodness Ziling is safe, a blessing in disguise." Ouyang Feifei said softly to Ling Ruonan after glancing at Yang Qingyin twice, "I think after this incident, those people wouldn’t dare easily act again. After all, this incident had a huge impact and alarmed many."
"Let’s hope this incident marks the end of their wicked schemes!" Ling Ruonan spoke with a menacing tone, "I want to see whether they are more skilled at this, or we are more adept."
Ling Ruonan’s attitude left both Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei feeling a bit frightened.
Both women were well aware that someone was bound to die because of Ling Ruonan’s anger.
