By the time they arrived at Ling Mingrui’s villa, Ling Mingrui had already returned.
Hearing the commotion, Xie Enhua hurried out to greet them.
"What on earth happened?" The moment Xie Enhua saw Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling, she couldn’t help but complain, "How could such a thing happen?"
"Mom, someone still wants to kill Ling’er." Ling Ruonan said with a bitter smile, "Ling’er is too high-profile in his actions, and many people have suffered losses because of him, so they hold a grudge and want him gone."
"Ah, when will all this revenge end!" Xie Enhua sighed deeply, "Why can’t we have peace?"
"Mom, since they don’t want us to live in peace, we have to confront them seriously; otherwise, we’ll be perceived as weak and easy to bully."
"You all must be careful, don’t be careless. If anything happens to you..." At this point, Xie Enhua spat at herself, "Why am I saying such depressing things? Alright, get inside quickly, your dad is waiting for you in the house!"
She then said to Luo Ziling, "Ling’er, hearing about how you almost got shot by a gunman, your grandmother couldn’t sleep out of worry. We barely had a moment of peace, and now this happens again? Really. Fortunately, you’re strong, otherwise..."
"Grandma, I’m lucky, nothing will happen to me, so don’t worry!" Luo Ziling comforted Xie Enhua, "It’s possible that those who want to kill me might die before I do!"
"Sigh!" Xie Enhua sighed again, without saying anything else.
As he walked into the living room, Luo Ziling saw Ling Mingrui sitting there reading a newspaper.
Seeing them come in, he stood up and motioned for them to talk in the study.
Once in the study, Luo Ziling immediately relayed the latest report from Wuyue to Ling Mingrui.
"A little while ago, I personally called to inquire about the progress of the case." Ling Mingrui gestured for Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling to sit down and talk, and then asked Ling Ruonan to make a few cups of tea. As Ling Ruonan prepared the tea, he continued, "This incident seems to be the doing of the Chen Family, directly planned by Chen Ruchang. If I’m not mistaken, their plan this time was not only to kill Ziling and blame it on the Yang Family, but also to incite a dispute between the Fang Family and the Ling Family. However, most of their plans did not succeed."
After hearing what Ling Mingrui said, Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling realized that the Fang Family and the Ling Family had also encountered some trouble.
Fang Yinfa of the Fang Family and Ling Qingqing of the Ling Family were inexplicably attacked, and the investigations pinned the blame on the Ling Family and the Yang Family.
However, Fang Yinfa and Ling Qingqing were not seriously injured, and the culprits were quickly caught. Upon investigation, it was found that the attackers were not directed by the Ling Family and the Yang Family, but by others. After timely communication between the Ling Family, the Yang Family, and the Fang Family, the misunderstandings were quickly resolved.
Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling were not aware of these developments.
Their attention wasn’t on this matter, and since these incidents weren’t widely publicized, people around them hadn’t paid attention either.
However, the significance of these incidents was extraordinary, and Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling understood that.
Ling Mingrui continued, "After your incident escalated, their subsequent plans may have been forced to halt; otherwise, the commotion would be even greater. Of course, their plans might not be entirely terminated and might erupt suddenly at some point. The security at your wedding venue must be strengthened to prevent any unrelated people from entering the premises. If something unexpected occurs at the wedding venue, the impact could be huge!"
Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling’s expressions changed after hearing Ling Mingrui’s words.
They were well aware that what Ling Mingrui was worried about could very likely become a reality.
Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling also realized they were being a bit negligent, not thinking about how stringent the security at the wedding site needed to be three days later.
Luo Ziling decided to immediately instruct Wuyue and Lin Lan to urgently arrange the security measures for the wedding site three days later.
At that time, all forces would be concentrated to ensure the safety of the wedding, preventing any mishaps.
After hearing what Ling Mingrui said, Ling Ruonan asked, "Dad, if the Chen Family is indeed behind this, how should we respond to their reckless actions?"
Ling Mingrui did not directly answer Ling Ruonan’s question but said thoughtfully, "Chen Ruchang probably didn’t expect his condition to worsen so quickly. Therefore, he’s definitely very unwilling to accept it. He has many unfulfilled plans, and dying while the Chen Family is in trouble leaves him even more unwilling. It’s understandable why he would take such extreme actions knowing his time is running out. It’s just that Chen Yijing doesn’t have that much capability, so he didn’t execute well."
"They almost succeeded!" Ling Ruonan said with lingering fear, "A sniper shot from around five hundred meters is an easy task for someone of that skill level. Fortunately, Ling’er sensed the danger, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. That was merely luck, not because we’re extremely capable. Luck can’t always be on our side!"
"They really were too ruthless. Ling’er running around outside, once his whereabouts are known, the chances of being sniped are very high." At this point, Ling Mingrui’s eyes turned sharp, "This matter can’t just be let go, the Chen Family must be made aware, as well as everyone else, that any conflict needs to be within certain rules; if they resort to any means, it won’t do. We must ensure they pay the corresponding price, a price they cannot bear."
"Dad, whatever you want us to do, just instruct us!" Ling Ruonan said, "Whatever you think is the right course of action, we’ll do it!"
"Just go ahead and take action, letting the Chen Family suffer some losses isn’t a big deal, as long as we don’t leave traces that they can investigate." Ling Mingrui instructed Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling clearly, "If we don’t respond in kind, they will continue to think their mistakes are not that serious, and will carry on as before. What we need to do is ensure they don’t dare to stir up trouble recklessly for a while."
After hearing Ling Mingrui’s words, Luo Ziling hesitated for a moment and then boldly asked, "Grandfather, I’m wondering, can we take advantage of this event to completely topple the Chen Family?"
Luo Ziling’s words instantly changed Ling Mingrui’s expression.
"Do you really think so?" After a while, he asked.
As he asked Luo Ziling this question, his eyes were sharp, exuding an aura of authority.
"Based on the information you’ve provided about Chen Ruchang’s condition, I believe his health and mindset are completely deteriorated. Under these circumstances, I reckon he won’t live much longer. If he passes away soon and this incident escalates, then is it possible to take down the Chen Family completely..."
Luo Ziling didn’t finish the sentence because he felt the intimidating aura of Ling Mingrui.
