Early the next morning, Wuyue came to report that she had taken care of Chen Yijing’s two trusted subordinates.
She did it herself.
Luo Ziling was quite surprised; he hadn’t expected Wuyue to act so swiftly.
Wuyue briefly explained the events to Luo Ziling.
The reason Wuyue chose to act last night was, of course, because she seized an opportunity.
Wang Zhenjun reported that after attending an event, Chen Yijing’s two subordinates left together in the same car.
While their car was passing near a construction site, the long crane arm extending from the site suddenly broke off.
A bundle of steel pipes hanging from the crane arm fell directly, coincidentally hitting the car that Chen Yijing’s two trusted aides were in as it passed by.
That BMW was smashed to pieces, and the two aides sitting in the back seat died on the spot; their deaths were horrific.
The driver and the bodyguard in the passenger seat were lucky—they escaped with relatively serious injuries but survived.
"Just like that?" After hearing Wuyue’s brief account, Luo Ziling was stunned.
Wuyue shook her head: "We just seized the opportunity."
Luo Ziling didn’t ask more questions but his admiration for Wuyue grew.
Grabbing such an opportunity is extremely difficult.
Being able to detect the situation of Chen Yijing’s two aides leaving together was already quite challenging.
Calculating their direction wasn’t an easy task either.
Controlling the crane and dropping the load on their car at the precise moment—this was certainly not coincidence or luck, but carefully orchestrated.
Of course, luck played a role, but the key was the meticulous planning.
The perfect outcome is achieved through proper planning combined with exceptionally good luck.
Luo Ziling thought that if Wuyue were to do this again, the outcome might not be as flawless.
"It seems fate is on our side!" Luo Ziling smiled.
Wuyue rarely showed a smile and then quietly added, "I estimate their deaths will cause quite a stir, but the construction site investigation won’t find any useful leads. Please rest assured, everything has been arranged well."
Luo Ziling wanted to ask how the situation at the construction site would be handled and whether there might be trouble if the police investigated the crane operator, but hearing Wuyue’s words, he knew everything was already arranged, thus he asked nothing further.
At this moment, Lin Lan also walked over. Wuyue did not say anything else and left first under the pretext of having other things to attend to.
When Wuyue reported to Luo Ziling, he had just gotten up and was preparing to exercise in the garden.
Lin Lan had slept over the night before and got up early as well.
For people like them, morning exercise is a must unless there are unexpected circumstances.
Lin Lan didn’t participate in last night’s operation; it was planned by Wuyue herself, who brought her own trusted people.
Since Lin Lan was unaware, Luo Ziling had no intention of telling her.
"What’s up?" Seeing Wuyue leave in a hurry, Lin Lan asked with a look of confusion, "Is there something inconvenient for me to know?"
"No!" Luo Ziling shook his head, "It was just a routine report. You know, Wuyue handles everything around me, and without my permission, she won’t report significant matters to anyone other than me."
"Not even your mom?" Lin Lan seemed a bit surprised.
"Unless it’s a special situation." Luo Ziling smiled and reminded Lin Lan, "Next, you’ll be working by my mom’s side, sharing responsibilities like Wuyue. Matters related to my mom’s private affairs won’t be shared without her consent; it’s a discipline of this role."
"Okay, I understand. You mother and son have secrets, right?" Lin Lan rolled her eyes at Luo Ziling.
"You’ll stay with my mom for one or two years before coming to me. In the future, you’ll replace Wuyue and handle matters around me, similar to my Grand Internal Supervisor. Meanwhile, Wuyue will return to my mom’s side and continue as her Grand Internal Supervisor." Luo Ziling shared what he discussed with Ling Ruonan the night before, then added, "Whether it’s one or two years depends on your growth. If you quickly learn and manage independently, you can take over earlier."
"What I mean by managing independently is not just handling secret affairs but taking charge of everything—including covert operations, work arrangements, financial oversight, asset management, and investment—which you’re unfamiliar with, so you must learn these first. Once you’re fully proficient, my mom will trust you. Wuyue has been at my mom’s side for around three years and is well-versed in these roles, so learn from her." Luo Ziling chuckled after explaining.
"I understand!" Lin Lan grasped Luo Ziling’s intent and didn’t show any jealousy.
After nodding in understanding, she solemnly added, "Rest assured, I won’t let you down and will give you pleasant surprises."
"Just don’t give me any scares!"
Lin Lan rolled her eyes at Luo Ziling again and then quietly asked, "Are you planning to go to Europe soon?"
"Why do you ask?" Luo Ziling frowned.
"Shouldn’t you visit your daughter and her mother?" Lin Lan replied with a roll of her eyes.
Luo Ziling was silent for a moment, looked at Lin Lan twice before replying, "I’m planning to visit when Luo Chenyang is two months old and organize a double-month celebration for her."
"I’ll accompany you then!" Lin Lan asserted firmly, "I know about this matter anyway."
"Alright!" Luo Ziling did not refuse.
"Tomorrow night, Phoenix might come to find you to discuss some matters and get some treatment. Where do you think would be appropriate to arrange this?"
Luo Ziling was slightly surprised: "She contacted you?"
Lin Lan nodded.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Ziling told Lin Lan, "You should find a secluded place, preferably not a hotel, to avoid any trouble."
Lin Lan nodded and shared something Luo Ziling hadn’t considered: "Actually, our previous exposure was just a fishing operation."
Luo Ziling paused for a moment and quickly realized what Lin Lan meant.
Understanding this, he felt a bit annoyed: "You went too far; you actually used me as bait."
"After all, it hasn’t been a loss!" Lin Lan wasn’t angry at all, "Your efforts will surely be rewarded."
Luo Ziling chuckled, "I hope Phoenix will repay me."
"Perhaps, at a critical moment, she’ll save your life."
Lin Lan’s words stunned Luo Ziling.
