Ling Ruonan agreed with Luo Ziling’s statement.
But she still instructed Luo Ziling that if they were to capture key figures of the Chen Family, they must ensure it goes flawlessly.
Luo Ziling naturally agreed.
While the mother and son were speaking, Wuyue returned.
Upon seeing Wuyue, Luo Ziling instructed her to ensure the security work is well done for Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan’s wedding in three days.
"Young Master, rest assured, everything is already planned out, and there will definitely be no mistakes!" Wuyue replied with great confidence.
With Wuyue saying so, Luo Ziling made no further requests.
Then, Wuyue informed Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling that it has been confirmed that a mysterious account of the Chen Family saw a large flow of foreign exchange, which was transferred to accounts related to the assassin industry.
"It can be completely confirmed that the hiring of assassins to attack the young master is indeed the doing of the Chen Family." After reporting the situation, Wuyue presented her judgment, "I believe, for us to confirm this matter, no further evidence is needed."
"But for the police to establish the case, more evidence is required." Ling Ruonan reminded Wuyue, "Therefore, we need to continue cooperating with the police and the security personnel in their investigation, until all testimony and physical evidence are complete. Be extra careful during the investigation. After all, the Chen Family still holds power, and they have enough resources to interfere with the investigation."
"Understood, Miss!"
After Wuyue finished reporting the situation, she left.
Right after Wuyue left, Ling Ruonan’s phone rang.
The call came from a fixed line number, and after a moment of hesitation, Ling Ruonan picked up.
Unexpectedly, the call was from Wang Zhengqiang.
After a few pleasantries, Wang Zhengqiang directly asked about matters related to recent events.
Ling Ruonan didn’t hide anything and told Wang Zhengqiang truthfully.
"If there are no unexpected circumstances, these events should all be the doing of the Chen Family." Ling Ruonan said with a hint of anger, "The Chen Family has wanted Ziling dead more than once. During the summer vacation, they also hired assassins, attempting to kill Ziling in the Northwest. The commotion was so big that Chen Yining was dragged out as a scapegoat. We originally thought that the Chen Family would restrain themselves after that incident, yet they continue to employ such low tricks. Chen Ruchang, he is truly too much."
After listening, Wang Zhengqiang quietly reminded Ling Ruonan, "During the summer, they hired professional killers to attack Ziling but did not succeed. Logically, they wouldn’t repeat the same mistake. Do you think there might be something we haven’t realized yet? Perhaps some other family’s plot? Internal struggles within the Chen Family?"
Ling Ruonan was a little surprised to receive such a reminder from Wang Zhengqiang.
He understood Wang Zhengqiang’s point.
The notion of other family’s plots is easy to understand, as often people shift blame back and forth without direct evidence, leading to unresolved situations.
Ling Ruonan did not take it very seriously after hearing it.
Because this point is already well established.
It was the Chen Family who orchestrated this incident, and they are trying to shift the blame onto others.
Wang Zhengqiang’s direct mention of internal fighting within the Chen Family was what reminded Ling Ruonan.
Ling Ruonan knew that the brothers Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping have never been favored by Chen Ruchang and his son. They don’t have the power to compete directly with the brothers Chen Yining and Chen Yijing but have always kept a low profile while accumulating strength.
From Ling Ruonan’s understanding, the abilities and strengths of the brothers Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping are not weak.
If Chen Ruchang, Chen Yining, and Chen Yijing were out or couldn’t manage the Chen Family’s affairs, these brothers could take over.
If they did take over, no major troubles would arise.
Just from this point, it is evident that the brothers Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping are also formidable figures.
Before Wang Zhengqiang’s reminder, Ling Ruonan had not considered the brothers Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping involving themselves in this matter.
Once reminded by Wang Zhengqiang, she immediately thought about many things.
However, she didn’t show any signs of emotion, simply thanking him calmly and hoping Wang Zhengqiang would frequently inquire about the investigation.
Wang Zhengqiang also told Ling Ruonan that originally he wanted to invite Luo Ziling to dinner at his home before Ling Ruonan’s wedding, and if Ling Ruonan was available, she should come along. But with so much going on during this period, inviting Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan for dinner had to be postponed.
Ling Ruonan expressed gratitude for Wang Zhengqiang’s concern and enthusiasm but did not respond to his invitation for dinner.
Luo Ziling could go for dinner at Wang Zhengqiang’s house, but she could not.
If she went for dinner at Wang Zhengqiang’s house, it would have extraordinary implications.
After finishing the call with Wang Zhengqiang, Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling, "Do you think there is a possibility that the brothers Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping are involved in this case?"
Luo Ziling paused for a moment, then thought seriously before nodding.
"There really might be a possibility!" He said, frowning, "I think for the Chen Family to repeat such a foolish act after more than two months, it doesn’t make sense. Over the summer, they hired assassins to kill me, even resorting to using drones, which was ruthless, but it still ended up failing. That incident caused significant losses for the Chen Family, with Chen Yining getting directly removed from his position. They shouldn’t have a reason to repeat their mistake and continue such foolish actions after a few months."
"This isn’t a foolish act, you almost died!" Ling Ruonan said sternly, "Trying to kill you in Yanjing is easier than doing so in the Northwest. The Northwest is your home turf; you’re familiar with the area and have bodyguards with you. In such places, it’s not easy to infiltrate snipers. But Yanjing is different; it’s a city filled with tall buildings, and it’s easy to hide snipers in a room in one of them. They know you go to Yan University, so they can lie in wait nearby and eventually find an opportunity."
"Mom, stop scaring me!" Luo Ziling’s face turned a little pale, "If you say it like that, I’ll be afraid to go to school."
Seeing Ling Ruonan’s face also turn a bit pale, Luo Ziling immediately added, "I think the situation isn’t that simple. The current status of Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping within the Chen Family proves their careful maneuvering. Do you think it’s possible they bribed people close to Chen Ruchang or Chen Yining, Chen Yijing? If they bribed key figures around them and orchestrated such events..."
Hearing Luo Ziling’s analysis, Ling Ruonan furrowed her brows.
Luo Ziling continued, "Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping surely hope something happens to Chen Yining and Chen Yijing. Only after something happens to them, their opportunities will increase. Could it be possible that Chen Ruchang and Chen Yijing did not participate in planning to kill me, but rather it’s the brothers Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping who are stirring things up... "
Ling Ruonan, after thinking seriously, ultimately did not dismiss Luo Ziling’s assumption: "There really might be such a possibility!"
"But this doesn’t make much difference; it’s still the Chen Family trying to harm us!" Luo Ziling grunted before continuing, "The blame falls on the Chen Family, our revenge is directed at key figures within the Chen Family, right?"
