Faced with Yang Yuanshan’s purpose-driven inquiries, Luo Ziling did not hide anything, and spoke truthfully.
He told Yang Yuanshan that although he hadn’t personally examined and treated Chen Ruchang, based on what he knew, Chen Ruchang’s condition was irreversible, and it was only a matter of time before death came. The prescription he gave could temporarily alter the progression of Chen Ruchang’s condition, but it was merely a superficial remedy, not addressing the root cause, and could not lead to recovery.
Yang Yuanshan seemed dissatisfied with Luo Ziling’s answer.
"If the prescription you provided works and the hospital seeks your help with treatment, would you agree or refuse?"
"I’ve already refused!" Luo Ziling was equally forthcoming and recounted what had happened that day.
As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Qingyin.
He assumed that Yang Qingyin had already informed Yang Yuanshan about the events, and he also thought Yang Yuanshan should know about his interactions with Lou Zhiyi.
"Do you think that by refusing to help with treatment, it won’t affect your reputation?" Yang Yuanshan seemed to have endless questions, unlike his usual speaking style, "If someone deliberately exposes this matter, how do you plan to handle it?"
After smiling, Luo Ziling replied, "I will say that I was willing to help at first, but they didn’t need me, so the best opportunity was missed. Moreover, they invited me for treatment only to dig a hole for me to fall into, trying to set me up. I have already mentioned this on Weibo, and many fans are aware of it. Also, on Weibo, I pointed out that the Chen Family intends to harm me. I think, in such circumstances, if I were to treat Chen Ruchang, I would be criticized."
Yang Yuanshan just shook his head, "You’ve convinced the netizens using your idol status, but you can’t make others believe you so easily."
Luo Ziling understood Yang Yuanshan’s point and, with a wry smile, replied, "If you all want to misunderstand, there’s nothing I can do!"
"When you handle things, try not to give anyone any leverage." Yang Yuanshan earnestly advised Luo Ziling, "The ancient saying goes, ’The wind will destroy the tallest trees in the forest.’ After many events, if someone wants to use it against you, the effects can magnify."
Luo Ziling couldn’t understand why Yang Yuanshan was offering him such advice today.
For Yang Yuanshan to suddenly act so "kind" towards him was something Luo Ziling found a bit hard to adjust to.
He actually considered Luo Ziling’s situation.
Of course, Luo Ziling didn’t genuinely believe Yang Yuanshan was considering his well-being. He instinctively thought that Yang Yuanshan had his motives for saying these things.
Thus, he responded calmly, "Thank you, Sir Yang, for the reminder. I will certainly pay attention in the future. As for providing the prescription, I only did it as a favor to the director of Hospital 401. I think after my refusal, they won’t likely approach me again. It’s more likely they’ll invite my grandfather for treatment, given his experience. My grandfather will surely have a way to handle it if someone really comes asking."
Luo Ziling wanted to mention the matter of Chen Yijing coming to invite them for treatment, but he swallowed the words at the last moment.
Yang Yuanshan did not say anything further on the matter, but merely nodded lightly.
However, he quickly added, "If I’m not mistaken, at your parents’ wedding, those trying to sabotage were not only the Chen Family but likely the Fang Family as well!"
Yang Yuanshan bringing this up surprised Luo Ziling a bit.
"Did Sir Yang have someone investigate this matter? Have you found any leads?" he asked Yang Yuanshan, looking surprised, "If there are solid pieces of evidence, can you provide them to us?"
"No evidence, no investigation, just speculation!" Yang Yuanshan shook his head, eyes fixed on Luo Ziling, "I assume you must have found some evidence yourselves?"
"No!" Luo Ziling shook his head, convinced that Yang Yuanshan wasn’t just speaking for the sake of it and had indeed gathered evidence. "We only found evidence suggesting the Chen Family planned an attack, but they abandoned the action once they realized so many prominent figures would be attending. Additionally, another unidentified group from overseas intended to launch an attack during the wedding ceremony, but they too called it off."
Yang Yuanshan looked at Luo Ziling with a hint of surprise, but he only nodded in response.
Luo Ziling wanted to ask about Chen Qiaoyu, but in front of Yang Qingyin, he felt embarrassed and chose to discuss other matters.
After a while, Yang Yuanshan raised the topic of inviting Luo Ziling’s family over for dinner again.
"When your parents return from their honeymoon, let’s have a simple meal at my place together."
Of course, Luo Ziling wouldn’t refuse and accepted the invitation readily, though he added teasingly after accepting, "I hope it will be a relaxing dinner!"
"Relaxing?" Yang Yuanshan shook his head, "How could it be relaxing? If we manage to finish the meal without any quarrels, I’d be satisfied!"
Yang Yuanshan actually said that, which left Luo Ziling a bit taken aback, and then he quickly gave a wry smile, "Let’s just hope it doesn’t turn into a brawl!"
Silent until this point, Yang Qingyin finally couldn’t help but chime in after hearing Luo Ziling, "We must find a way to ensure they eat peacefully."
"Absolutely!"
"Honestly, I didn’t expect so many people to attend your parents’ wedding!" Yang Yuanshan seemed quite moved, "It could be considered the wedding of the century. Haha, I believe they themselves didn’t expect such grandeur."
"But they won’t find it fortuitous."
Yang Yuanshan looked at Luo Ziling a couple of times but didn’t comment on this.
Luo Ziling continued, "Having so many people at the wedding was both a blessing and a curse for my parents. Sir Yang was right just now—the tallest trees in the forest are the first to be destroyed by the wind."
"Your Great Grandfather is a man of complex thoughts!" Yang Yuanshan chuckled, "He wants to make your parents a target, to have the entire Ling Family aim at them, and to have all of Yanjing’s elite focus on them."
"Could Sir Yang offer us some advice on how to deal with this matter?" Luo Ziling asked quite sincerely.
Even Yang Qingyin could tell that Luo Ziling’s sincere expression was fake—too blatantly fake.
Naturally, Yang Yuanshan understood the intention behind Luo Ziling’s question. After a cold snort, he impatiently said, "Refuse everything, and nothing will happen!"
"If only it were that simple!" Luo Ziling chuckled, "Being made a target does have its benefits. It gives us the opportunity to continue honing ourselves—rising from the ashes like a phoenix, and then everything will be transformed!"
"Do you hope for the Luo Family to rise with the support of the Ling Family?" Yang Yuanshan asked abruptly.
"Why not?"
"Do you think the Ling Family would allow the Luo Family to rise and surpass them?" Yang Yuanshan said with a mocking expression.
"Why should we surpass the Ling Family? Why not coexist peacefully and achieve a win-win situation?"
"Do you think that’s possible?"
