Luo Ziling arrived at Wang Zhengqiang’s home when Wang Zhengqiang had already returned.
Wang Feiyang’s mother, Li Jiawei, was busy in the kitchen.
Just by looking at the scene in their home, you wouldn’t think this was a special family.
When the family of three eats at home, dinner is made by Li Jiawei, without the assistance of maids or staff—just like a typical family. In this regard, Wang Zhengqiang does very well, living a very ordinary life without any special treatment.
Li Jiawei is a good helper, most of the time not enjoying any special treatment, considering herself an ordinary wife and mother.
In this regard, Lin Zeping is quite different.
The daily life of Lin Zeping’s family always involves the participation of staff.
Grocery shopping, laundry, cooking, are all done by people around them.
Putting aside positions and interests, in terms of quality and life details, Luo Ziling agrees more with Wang Zhengqiang.
Seeing Luo Ziling and Wang Feiyang coming over, Wang Zhengqiang immediately greeted them warmly and invited Luo Ziling to sit next to him.
Wang Feiyang sat down with Luo Ziling.
However, after exchanging a few pleasantries, she went into the kitchen under the pretense of helping her mother, Li Jiawei, cook.
"Why have you gone to see Chen Yining several times?" To Luo Ziling’s surprise, Wang Zhengqiang directly asked about it after Wang Feiyang left.
It wasn’t surprising to Luo Ziling that others knew about his visits to Chen Yining. Although he tried to disguise his whereabouts each time, such efforts could only prevent idle people from knowing. Those with connections everywhere would certainly be aware.
Therefore, it wasn’t surprising to Luo Ziling that Wang Zhengqiang knew about it.
He was only surprised at how directly Wang Zhengqiang asked.
"I want to reconcile with him!" Luo Ziling did not hide his purpose and answered honestly: "The Chen Family has tried to do me harm several times; Chen Yining and Chen Yijing have both plotted such actions. But I know, with just these things, it’s impossible to completely overturn them. Chen Yining has already suffered a setback, but expecting him to face the harshest legal punishment is unrealistic. Therefore, I want to reconcile with Chen Yining and try to bring down Chen Yijing a little, to see if I can make him unlucky as well. If Chen Yining and Chen Yijing can start fighting each other, that would be the best outcome."
Wang Zhengqiang was slightly surprised by Luo Ziling’s candor.
He believed what Luo Ziling said, but he knew that the purpose of Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan’s actions went far beyond what was stated.
Several other families wanted to target the Chen Family, and Luo Ziling was the pawn.
Wang Zhengqiang wanted to know more, and he wanted to know the positions of Ling Mingrui, Yang Yunlin, Fang Xiang, and others in this incident.
In the past few days, Luo Ziling had visited the Fang Family, the Yang Family, and went to Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui, and today he was here with Wang Zhengqiang—even Lin Zeping might be visited. This means Luo Ziling is the only person who can fully understand the attitudes of these big figures.
This is why Wang Zhengqiang was eager to meet with Luo Ziling and have a detailed discussion.
After Luo Ziling answered his questions, Wang Zhengqiang asked him a few other questions in a more subtle tone.
The questions were all centered around recent hot topics.
After asking these questions and Luo Ziling answered them, Wang Zhengqiang awkwardly explained: "The situation has been too delicate recently; sometimes those who are in the middle of it cannot foresee how events will unfold. Therefore, I wanted to talk to you, the key figure in this matter. Ziling, I hope you don’t misunderstand—I am not in a favorable position now, so I hope to gain support from more people. The support I desire most is yours and your mother’s. I know you are candid, and I am too; I sincerely hope we can work together for the prosperity and development of our nation, and build our great nation even more beautiful. Therefore, I hope we can communicate openly."
Wang Zhengqiang’s words left Luo Ziling feeling a mix of amusement and perplexity.
However, Wang Zhengqiang’s eagerness indicated his urgent desire to secure a voice in this struggle.
Another point is that Wang Zhengqiang was treating him as a key figure. Although Luo Ziling had become accustomed to his current lifestyle, he still felt somewhat proud when he realized how much attention he was receiving from these influential figures.
He candidly told Wang Zhengqiang that although he was involved in these matters, he did not have the authority to decide anything.
The ones who can decide these matters are his mother Ling Ruonan and his grandfather Ling Mingrui.
Luo Ziling’s honesty today surprised Wang Zhengqiang.
This also made him quite pleased.
Before dinner, he asked Luo Ziling some questions he hadn’t initially planned to ask, such as about Luo Ziling’s dinner at the Fang Family, and whether there were discussions about his engagement to Yang Qingyin when he visited the Yang Family.
Luo Ziling shared a bit about the situation, deliberately revealing to Wang Zhengqiang the Fang Family’s apology and their alliance with Wu Dongfang to take action against them. Though Wang Zhengqiang was already aware of these matters, hearing it from Luo Ziling still stunned him.
It seemed things were more complex than he had imagined.
After contemplating for a while, he asked Luo Ziling whether he suspected Lin Zeping had shown any special behavior in these events or was involved in any way.
"I don’t dare to speculate randomly because there is no evidence!" Luo Ziling replied ambiguously: "Actually, many things are just guesses, and there’s no proof to be found."
Wang Zhengqiang nodded, then solemnly stated: "I think Lin Zeping has played an unsavory role in these events. His relationship with Wu Dongfang has always been good, and besides the Fang Family’s support, his close relationship with Lin Zeping is not irrelevant to his current status."
After pausing, Wang Zhengqiang decided to share some sensitive information with Luo Ziling: "In the past few days, under Wu Dongfang’s personal supervision, several significant cases were cracked, involving some important figures. This success was greatly attributed to Lin Zeping’s support. Of course, this is also a means for Lin Zeping to eliminate dissidents, which I’m sure you understand."
What Wang Zhengqiang revealed was something Luo Ziling hadn’t known, thus surprising him considerably.
Seeing Luo Ziling’s surprise, Wang Zhengqiang felt slightly satisfied.
Wang Zhengqiang continued: "The conflict between you and Lin Zhengdong—they cannot simply let go of it. Lin Zeping and Lin Zhengdong are similar in nature; both are vengeful characters. Therefore, you need to be cautious. Wu Dongfang’s investigation into you must have Lin Zeping’s support. If, and I say if: the Fang Family, Lin Zeping, and Wu Dongfang join forces against you, you would indeed suffer a heavy loss."
