Seeing Chen Yining’s expression changing constantly, Luo Ziling knew he had persuaded him.
Before Chen Yining made a decision, Luo Ziling added, "If you’re willing to put aside your prejudices and not dwell on past grievances, we can do the same. No matter how many times you tried to kill me, it’s all in the past. I didn’t die, so I can let it go. After all, you’re the father of my daughter’s mother, and I don’t want us to keep fighting despite that relationship. Of course, if you ignore that relationship and continue to treat me as an enemy, then just pretend I never came here today and didn’t say a word to you."
"Aren’t you afraid that once I’m exempted from criminal liability, I’ll come after you again, ruin your reputation, and make you die a miserable death?" Chen Yining sneered.
"You wouldn’t do that, it’s not worth it!" Luo Ziling shook his head with a smile, "Besides, you won’t have the chance to get at me again because I’ll have someone assigned to keep an eye on you all the time. Please forgive me, I have no choice but to do this because I’m afraid your Chen Family will make another move against me."
At this point, Luo Ziling showed a bitter smile, "Actually, I’ve never understood why the ones who won’t rest until they’re rid of us are the Chen Family, not the Yang Family?"
Luo Ziling’s question stunned Chen Yining for a moment.
Luo Ziling continued to interrogate, "Our mother and I have no real enmity with your Chen Family, so why do you keep pursuing us relentlessly?"
"Wasn’t it you who killed my son?" Chen Yining displayed a menacing look, "Revenge for killing a son naturally can’t rest until one of us is dead. Unless I die, otherwise I’m going to..."
"If you kill me, won’t your daughter’s daughter lose her father?" Luo Ziling interrupted Chen Yining teasingly.
After Chen Yining was stunned for a moment, he continued, "Moreover, Chen Jiahai died due to his own folly. To enhance his prowess with women, he took an overdose of medication, ultimately leading to heart failure and death. True, he wanted to kill me for some time, so it wouldn’t be a big deal for me to kill him, wouldn’t it? Sadly, just as I was about to do it, he got himself killed first. Of course, I feel sorry for you and Xiaoyi. Anyone who loses a loved one will be in pain. I don’t want my mom, my grandfather to be in pain, so I can’t die!"
Chen Yining’s face showed a look of doubt. He frowned and looked at Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling walked a couple of steps with his hands behind his back, then turned to face Chen Yining, "If your father also passes away in a few days, wouldn’t you also blame his death on me?"
Chen Yining remained silent, but his gaze lacked the previous fierceness.
After pausing for a moment, Luo Ziling continued, "I’ve explained my purpose in coming today and have said what needed to be said. You think about it. You don’t have much time left to consider. Oh, there’s one more thing I need to tell you. Tomorrow, my parents are getting married, and I’m the primary host. As far as I know, your Chen Family was planning to sabotage a wedding that was two decades overdue. Chen Yijing and his followers had already devised a plan to ruin it. However, their intentions won’t come to fruition, and they’ll pay a heavy price. If I don’t bring down Chen Yijing and make him live a fate worse than death, then I won’t be Luo."
Having said that, Luo Ziling clasped his fists in front of Chen Yining, "Goodbye!"
After saying, Luo Ziling strode towards the door.
As he walked towards the door, Luo Ziling counted his steps.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Upon taking five steps and reaching to open the door, Chen Yining’s voice called out, "Wait!"
Luo Ziling’s hand remained on the door handle, not retreating, or turning back.
"Speak whatever Mr. Chen has to say!" Luo Ziling said calmly, "But I don’t want to hear any nonsense!"
"I’m willing to cooperate with you!" Chen Yining’s voice came firmly, "But you must ensure you will help me with all your might, help me seize control of the entire Chen Family!"
"I don’t have the ability to help you seize control of the entire Chen Family. I can only do what I am capable of!" Luo Ziling withdrew his hand, facing Chen Yining, "The Chen Family is your Chen Family. You know best how to take control of it."
"Just tell me, will you let me leave here without charges?" Chen Yining walked up to Luo Ziling, standing straight, imposing, "You should know, this is a complicated criminal case, even if you, the victim, chooses not to pursue it, the public security, prosecutorial, and judicial systems won’t just stop. They’ll still file charges if there’s enough evidence."
"Don’t worry about that, you’re only taking the fall. The real issue is orchestrated by Chen Ruchang and Chen Yijing. As long as you point this out, all your sins can be cleared." Luo Ziling spoke, showing a slight smile, "Trust that Mr. Chen knows what to do."
Chen Yining was silent, only staring keenly at Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling didn’t flinch, smiling slightly and locked eyes with Chen Yining.
As Chen Yining quelled his aura, Luo Ziling added, "I’m sure Mr. Chen knows only by cooperating with us can you save the Chen Family, otherwise, the Chen Family will fall. Adding this incident to the previous one, if the other families exert pressure, no one can rescue the Chen Family. You might also realize someone inside the Chen Family is meddling, causing trouble. Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping have stabbed you behind your back; their brothers want to seize power and control the Chen Family. If they seize control of the Chen Family, they won’t tolerate you alive, or the family hearts can’t be with them, because you are Chen Ruchang’s legitimate elder son, once vested in power, the high-ranking Chen Family’s eldest son."
After listening, Chen Yining remained silent, but his expression was already very unpleasant.
Luo Ziling knew his words had once again struck a chord with Chen Yining.
Thus, he immediately added, "If you stand up, you can save yourself, your family, and even the entire Chen Family. Only when power is in one’s own hands can one gain respect and influence. I’m sure you understand this more than I do, and you know better what you lose when it’s gone. Think about it, I’ll come visit in a few days. I hope you’ll consider it thoroughly. If you remain hesitant, you’ll lose all opportunities. We’ve gathered solid evidence on this attack plan devised by the Chen Family. We can launch at any time, making the Chen Family the target of public criticism. If you want to be the hero saving the Chen Family, step up promptly."
With that, Luo Ziling clasped his hands to Chen Yining again, "Goodbye!"
After speaking, without waiting for Chen Yining’s response, he walked off briskly.
