Compared to Ishihara Naka, Xu Zhiyuan performed much better.
Recently, Ishihara Naka did some irrational things, which were caught by Luo Ziling. Eventually, Ishihara Tarou stepped in and paid a certain price to earn Luo Ziling’s forgiveness.
Since then, Ishihara Naka has become much more honest and acts very discreetly.
During this period, Xu Zhiyuan has also been quite low-key, but his low profile is different from Ishihara Naka’s.
Xu Zhiyuan hasn’t caused any trouble, and his father and grandfather haven’t done anything to anger Luo Ziling.
In Luo Ziling’s eyes, Xu Zhiyuan is someone who can recognize his mistakes and change, while Ishihara Naka is someone who has suffered losses, must endure, but is looking for revenge opportunities. Because of this feeling, Luo Ziling treats Xu Zhiyuan much better than he treats Ishihara Naka.
Xu Zhiyuan is also monitoring Ishihara Naka, reporting some of Ishihara Naka’s abnormal situations.
Luo Ziling knows that Ishihara Naka is unlikely to admit defeat easily, so whenever he has the chance, he will teach him a harsh lesson.
The recent incident involving spies from the Japanese intelligence agency, although unrelated to Ishihara Naka, might be tied to his father, so Luo Ziling used this as a reason to scold him severely. He said that if Ishihara Tarou does not deliver satisfactory results, he won’t be polite.
Luo Ziling told Ishihara Naka that he felt Ishihara Naka was no longer suitable to learn from him anymore, and this time, when Ishihara Tarou visits Huaxia, he wants to discuss this matter with him. Unexpectedly, Ishihara Naka was surprised that Luo Ziling wants to send him back.
He feels a bit dejected, but he also knows that this matter is not something he can decide.
Everything still depends on how his grandfather talks with Luo Ziling or Ling Ruonan after his arrival.
Ishihara Naka knows that the result of their family’s struggle with Luo Ziling was a failure.
In the struggle with Luo Ziling, they suffered heavy losses.
Luo Ziling’s unfriendliness and threats make him quite fearful.
He understands that Luo Ziling’s tolerance for the Ishihara Family is already very low.
Otherwise, Luo Ziling wouldn’t be behaving like this today.
When he left, his mood was very gloomy.
Watching Ishihara Naka scuttling away, Luo Ziling felt a great sense of achievement.
After scolding Ishihara Naka, Wang Feiyang came over to find Luo Ziling, saying someone was calling him.
Surprisingly, someone called his office instead of his mobile phone, making Luo Ziling quite amazed.
But he still followed Wang Feiyang into the office.
Picking up the phone, he was surprised to find out it was Lou Zhiyi, the director of Hospital 401, looking for him.
"General Lou, why did you call me on this phone?" Luo Ziling was still quite surprised.
"It’s official business, so I called the landline. Calling your mobile turns it into private matter." Lou Zhiyi laughed heartily, "I want to ask Doctor Luo if you have time this weekend. We are planning an academic lecture, along with some case discussions. I would like to invite Doctor Luo to participate, I wonder if you could grace us with your presence?"
"Is this so!" Luo Ziling guessed that Lou Zhiyi was looking for him for something like this, but was still a bit surprised by his straightforwardness.
After some thought, he responded in a very tactful tone, "General Lou, I really don’t know how to answer you. Let’s do this, if I have no special things over the weekend, I will come and participate. Actually, I’ve been really busy lately, and I really can’t guarantee if I’ll have time this weekend. If I don’t have time, I’ll inform you in advance; if I have time, I’ll also inform you a day in advance, how about that?"
"Okay!" Lou Zhiyi agreed very readily, then promptly made a request, "Is Old Mr. Luo available, and would he be willing to grace us with his presence?"
"I’ll ask!" Luo Ziling didn’t agree on behalf of Luo Liansheng; he planned to inquire with Luo Liansheng before giving Lou Zhiyi a reply.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Ziling went to ask Luo Liansheng if he was interested in going over the weekend to engage with those medical experts at Hospital 401.
Luo Ziling originally thought Luo Liansheng would refuse, but unexpectedly, Luo Liansheng was quite interested.
"Going to exchange with the experts there, and familiarizing oneself, might prove to be very useful in the future." Luo Liansheng said with a smile to Luo Ziling, "Inform them that, generally, I will attend the meeting and participate in their discussions. If you have time, our grandfather and grandson duo can go together."
"Alright!" Luo Ziling agreed.
He also thinks that developing good relationships with people at Hospital 401 would definitely benefit him greatly.
After all, it’s Huaxia’s top hospital in medical technology, in terms of hardware and software, which other hospitals cannot compare to.
Both Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng wish to carry forward traditional medicine, and if they can leverage the platform of Hospital 401, it would make things much easier.
Luo Ziling feels that he has already gained a certain reputation at Hospital 401, and going there again will have more rewards.
However, he hasn’t given Lou Zhiyi a response.
Today is Tuesday, he plans to respond to Lou Zhiyi on Thursday afternoon or Friday morning.
After having lunch at school, Luo Ziling left Yan University, preparing to visit Chen Yining again.
Chen Yining has been relocated to a new detainment location with more freedom.
Luo Ziling very discreetly went to the place where Chen Yining was held, and after going through a series of prescribed procedures, he met with Chen Yining.
Chen Yining’s mental state was worse than a few days ago, apparently, his psychological pressure has also been significant in the past few days.
When he saw Luo Ziling appear in front of him, Chen Yining visibly relaxed.
"Guess you should be coming to find me!" Chen Yining chuckled.
In the new location, although his freedom is greater, he doesn’t have a single room he can freely control.
While preparing to chat with Chen Yining, there were still staff members maintaining watch nearby.
After saying a few nice words, that staff member reluctantly left the room.
Luo Ziling was escorted there by Lin Lan to meet Chen Yining, and while he was talking with Chen Yining, Lin Lan waited at the door.
Luo Ziling relayed the outside situation to Chen Yining.
Upon hearing Luo Ziling say that the news of his recantation, along with the black information provided by Luo Ziling, succeeded in compounding the situation in Yanjing, Chen Yining chuckled disdainfully.
"I really want to know what Chen Yijing looks like now, if my old father hasn’t been driven to vomiting blood."
A few days ago, Chen Yijing secretly came to see him and talked for half a day. Chen Yijing’s idea was to hope that Chen Yining would take a step back for the Chen Family to have some survival space. If things continue like this, the Chen Family will be finished.
But Chen Yining flatly refused Chen Yijing’s request, saying he has no interest or responsibility to bear the burden for the Chen Family. The people who should stand up and bear responsibility are Chen Ruchang and Chen Yijing, because he himself hasn’t done many outrageous things, and the affairs of the Chen Family should be presided over by him instead.
Chen Yijing was surprised that Chen Yining actually thought that way.
Their first conversation in months, naturally ended in an unpleasant way.
Chen Yining didn’t mention to Luo Ziling about Chen Yijing coming to see him, he only asked Luo Ziling that the situation has been stirred up to this level, how do the Ling Family and Luo Ziling, along with Ling Ruonan, plan to handle it.
What will he gain!
"I think by this point, my father and brother are bound to get desperate. If you don’t keep your promises, I will do the same. By then, although the Chen Family will be gone, other families won’t have good days either." Chen Yining’s tone carried a veiled threat.
