After hearing these three guys explain like this, Luo Ziling just let out a cold laugh.
He instructed Yang Xiaodong to keep a close watch on these three people and edit the video of their confession.
The video segment from earlier where they’re saying Chen Yijing instructed them also needs careful trimming, making sure the footage is continuous, removing unnecessary parts.
The later part where they said they were instructed by Fang Zhongxiu to frame the Chen Family first for the problems, and if unsuccessful, then to frame Fang Zhonghua, also requires editing to get rid of some problematic clips.
The audiences will definitely be different for the two videos.
Luo Ziling plans to show the first video to a large audience at a relatively public event.
He hasn’t decided the occasion yet, maybe at tomorrow’s wedding.
But he fears showing it at the wedding would affect the atmosphere.
Otherwise, the response would certainly be huge with so many big shots gathered, the effect would be best.
The second video is, of course, for a specific audience.
This specific audience is definitely the Fang Family.
Luo Ziling doesn’t care what reaction Fang Xiang and Fang Zhonghua would have or how they’d handle it.
Todays’ gains were quite significant — this was Luo Ziling’s feeling as he was leaving.
As he was leaving, he instructed Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun to be on high alert to prevent any incidents.
When Luo Ziling returned to the villa, he was surprised to see Wuyue and Lin Lan waiting outside for him.
Seeing him enter the courtyard, the two women quickly approached him.
Luo Ziling proactively informed them of the situation and asked whether they had discovered any new information.
Wuyue shared some circumstances, mainly about issues encountered during the security arrangement.
Indeed, quite a few people were planning to cause trouble at Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan’s wedding, and they have already uncovered several clues and made countermeasures.
Lin Lan wasn’t involved in arranging the security work; she had been busy investigating the attack on Luo Ziling and Yang Qingye.
Through the investigation, she acquired new clues, further strengthening the evidence. There’s no doubt now that the attack on Luo Ziling was orchestrated by the Chen Family, and the new evidence Lin Lan discovered is enough to convict them.
Lin Lan wanted to ask Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan how to deal with Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping’s involvement in this matter.
In this attack incident, Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping did not play an admirable role.
Lin Lan and Wuyue both knew that Luo Liansheng had a good relationship with Chen Rushan, and also with Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping, even hoping to help this brother pair take control of the Chen Family. Hence, they dared not make a decision privately on how to handle this.
"I’ll discuss with my mom before letting you know!" Luo Ziling originally wanted to say that they should retaliate similarly, making Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping pay a proper price, but after thinking about it, he decided he should consult with Luo Liansheng and Ling Ruonan first.
Especially with Luo Liansheng; he needs to be told regardless.
Lin Lan also found more useful clues in investigating Yang Qingye’s attack. Luo Ziling instructed Lin Lan and Wuyue to protect all the witnesses and evidence and wait until after Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan’s wedding tomorrow to discuss how to handle this matter.
After hearing Luo Ziling’s instructions, Wuyue and Lin Lan each went about their tasks.
Luo Ziling ordered Lin Lan to attend the wedding tomorrow with Phoenix and Shanque, asking them to sit at the same table as Li Haiyang. Dragon Rise members and several others invited by Luo Xusheng will also attend, and they’ll be seated at Lin Lan and Li Haiyang’s table.
After finishing his conversation with Lin Lan and Wuyue, Luo Ziling went back into the house.
Luo Liansheng was talking with Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan in the study.
Seeing Luo Ziling return, Ling Ruonan visibly relaxed.
Luo Ziling also shared his actions from earlier that night with Ling Ruonan.
Luo Liansheng wasn’t very interested in these matters, and neither was Luo Xusheng.
While Luo Ziling was discussing these matters, Luo Liansheng simply called Luo Xusheng out to have a word.
The disinterest from Luo Liansheng and Luo Xusheng in reacting to these matters surprised Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan.
But they didn’t dwell on it.
Upon hearing Luo Ziling talk about matters concerning Xu Chen, Ding Zhongming, and Wu Jiandong, Ling Ruonan didn’t express much.
She only asked Luo Ziling whether he thoroughly investigated their situations and if they are entirely worth grooming.
Luo Ziling praised both Xu Chen and Ding Zhongming, but his assessment of Wu Jiandong was slightly less favorable.
Ling Ruonan heard it, and nodded lightly.
"At the beginning of next year, I’ll strive for a position in Jiangnan Province and seize the position of Chief Executive. Then let Xu Chen work by my side, either as a deputy or a team member should be fine. I’ll personally observe her, and if her abilities and loyalty are excellent, I’ll let her grow with me." After sharing her opinion, Ling Ruonan instructed Luo Ziling to keep a close watch on these individuals, preventing any wavering loyalties.
"If we are drawing supporters, we must ensure their loyalty. Otherwise, it’ll be a total loss!"
Luo Ziling nodded, acknowledging Ling Ruonan’s suggestion.
Ling Ruonan was quite trusting in Cao Jianhui’s parents, as she had personally investigated their situation and had contact with them.
She told Luo Ziling that there’s no issue with Wu Lihua taking a position in Yiwu, a county-level city with a special status; it’s just unclear when she’ll take office.
Cao Menggang, Cao Jianhui’s father, doesn’t really have a suitable position for placement.
"In fact, Cao Menggang’s abilities aren’t remarkable, and your grandfather might not consider him." Ling Ruonan directly conveyed Ling Mingrui’s stance on Cao Menggang to Luo Ziling.
The people Ling Ruonan reported to Ling Mingrui, Ling Mingrui considered carefully.
Anyone with a blemish or who has made mistakes, he surely won’t recommend for prominent use.
He focuses on those with ability and charm, and will prioritize them for attention and promotion.
Among those recommended by Ling Ruonan, Ding Zhongming and Xu Chen are definitely backed for promotion; Cao Jianhui’s mother, Wu Lihua, also has a chance, and several officials recommended personally by Ling Ruonan in Zhonghai are also undergoing organizational scrutiny, likely leading to quick positional changes.
"Your grandfather has presumably acknowledged our efforts in grooming our own people, but he desires these individuals to also aid the Ling Family," Ling Ruonan mentioned Ling Mingrui’s view on promoting those recommended, "His primary consideration is whether they can significantly assist the Ling Family’s growth, secondary is character and capability. I’ve assured him, as his daughter, I will spare no effort in aiding my father. You, the grandson, are also immensely grateful to your grandfather and sure will support him wholeheartedly."
"Mom, our Luo Family can act as a vassal of the Ling Family for a few or even a dozen years." Luo Ziling chuckled, "After we grew alongside the Ling Family, we’ll establish the Luo Family brand, making everyone aware that the Luo Family can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Ling Family."
"Being a bit cautious and working harder, the dream should be realizable!" Ling Ruonan also laughed.
With Ling Ruonan’s optimism, Luo Ziling naturally felt happier.
