The next day, Luo Ziling decided to meet Chen Yining again.
This time, he kept a low profile, traveling light, and met Chen Yining through special channels.
In recent days, Chen Yining had more freedom, and even those guarding him felt that he was about to regain his freedom.
Seeing Luo Ziling come to him again, Chen Yining immediately pulled a long face.
Luo Ziling approached with a smile and explained his intentions. He told Chen Yining that the situation had significantly changed, and it was estimated that the special team would restart the investigation into the major case that occurred during the summer vacation.
"We can only win if we help each other," Luo Ziling said simply, but also reminded Chen Yining with a few words, "If we don’t cooperate well, then no one benefits. Our ideas cannot be realized, and your idea of regaining freedom and re-taking control of the Chen Family will remain a pipe dream. In fact, what you are doing is only for yourself, while we are helping you. Surely, you know that after this dispute, the Chen Family will be severely weakened, its power greatly reduced, and it will definitely withdraw from the top tier of wealthy families. Your value, as well as the weight of the Chen Family, is not as significant as you think. If you don’t stand up, then the interests of the Chen Family will surely be carved up, and the family will have no future."
Luo Ziling’s words hit Chen Yining’s soft spot.
He knew that everything Luo Ziling said was true.
He also knew that his father had little time left and the Ling Family, Yang Family, and Fang Family all wanted Chen Yijing dead.
Especially Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan, who wanted Chen Yijing dead.
If he couldn’t regain freedom and manage the Chen Family’s affairs, once Chen Ruchang and Chen Yijing were dead, or if Chen Ruchang passed away and Chen Yijing was stripped of everything, there really would be no one to manage the Chen Family’s major affairs.
Of course, Chen Yining wouldn’t allow Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping to seize control of the Chen Family from his father and brother.
Although he hated his father and brother, he wouldn’t tolerate his family’s business being taken by his cousins.
Seeing the change in Chen Yining’s face, Luo Ziling chuckled, not saying anything more on the matter, but telling Chen Yining that he planned to go to Europe in a while to visit Chen Xiaoyi and the little one.
The child would be two months old in two weeks.
He asked Chen Yining, "As a grandpa, shouldn’t you send a gift to her?"
Chen Yining glared at Luo Ziling angrily, completely ignoring his teasing words.
Luo Ziling was unfazed, stood up, and prepared to say goodbye.
But before leaving, he brought the topic back to what they had just discussed.
"Maybe in a couple of days, my mom will find a way to meet you. In a couple of days, they’ll probably arrange to take you for a new statement, and my mom will be there to present the case. At that point, you’ll meet, and as for what you want to say, that’s up to you. If you want to tell my mom something critical, we’ll arrange it."
These words again moved Chen Yining.
"Fine, let me meet with your mom. There are some things that telling you won’t help, only telling her will."
Despite Chen Yining’s scorn, Luo Ziling wasn’t bothered and readily agreed.
As Luo Ziling opened the door to leave, Chen Yining called him back.
"Before you go to Europe, I’ll find a way to prepare a gift for you to take to Xiaoyi."
"Alright!" Luo Ziling turned back and gave Chen Yining a radiant smile, "I’ll thank you on behalf of Chenyang, Grandpa!"
Chen Yining glared angrily at Luo Ziling.
Still unperturbed, Luo Ziling waved with a smile and left.
On the way back, Wuyue asked Luo Ziling with concern, "Young master, will it cause us trouble if we keep visiting Chen Yining like this?"
"Didn’t you say that besides us, others have also visited him?"
Wuyue nodded, "People from the Yang Family and Fang Family have visited him, but I don’t know what they talked about."
"Certainly not as well as our discussion, that’s why Chen Yining acted this way," Luo Ziling smiled happily.
Fang Xiang and Yang Yunlin had secretly visited Chen Yining before, just after Luo Ziling visited him. Although they kept a low profile, it couldn’t avoid being known.
Luo Ziling didn’t care about these things, as everything was already out in the open.
After seeing Yang Yunlin and Fang Xiang visit, he cared even less.
Ling Mingrui and Ling Ruonan also intended to make it known that they wanted to reconcile with Chen Yining.
The clearer the information is expressed, the more obvious the signal.
Luo Ziling thought that his repeated visits to Chen Yining were also why Ling Mingrui and Ling Ruonan wanted him to stay outside for a while.
Many thought that probably Luo Ziling was handling everything with Chen Yining, and future cooperation would be between Luo Ziling and Chen Yining. Based on this, some would take action against Luo Ziling.
If in a tumultuous time, Luo Ziling were harmed, or even killed, it wouldn’t only cause disturbance in cooperation between the Luo Family and the Chen Family, but it could also plunge the situation into chaos—of course, this was Luo Ziling’s own assumption, and he couldn’t be bothered to analyze if it was really the case. Anyway, he knew Ling Mingrui and Ling Ruonan weren’t letting him stay in Yanjing as a way to protect him.
However, when Luo Ziling thought of Ling Ruonan instructing him to invest in properties in Europe and America, a strange thought arose in his mind.
Was Ling Ruonan worried that in this struggle, the Ling Family and the Luo Family might fall, or face a very troublesome situation, that’s why she wanted him to have assets abroad before the outcome unfolded?
If they failed, and he couldn’t stay in Yanjing or the country, he could flee abroad and wander.
Such a possibility was too ominous, and Ling Ruonan would never say it, nor would Luo Ziling ask.
With this thought, Luo Ziling’s mood grew heavy.
He became optimistic again after a brief period of heaviness.
With Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui around, things surely wouldn’t be that bad.
Unless Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui also targeted them.
In that case, Ling Ruonan and he would truly have to flee.
Thinking of this possibility, Luo Ziling’s previously calmed heart started to stir again.
Is this possibility significant?
It shouldn’t be significant.
But does this possibility exist?
It definitely does!
Seeing how Ling Zhengping repeatedly targeted him, and knowing that Ling Jinhua not only didn’t stop it but seemingly allowed it, this possibility clearly exists.
A wise rabbit has three burrows, it’s completely necessary.
Even with advanced communication means nowadays, finding someone who’s hiding isn’t that easy.
"More options, more security!" Luo Ziling decided he must invest well in Europe and America, so that when needed, he could escape there.
