After coming back, Luo Ziling went to find Ling Ruonan to tell her about visiting Chen Yining today.
“I’ll talk to him personally then. I believe he’ll give me a clear stance,” Ling Ruonan immediately decided, “I think he’s already made up his mind, but he’s just demanding an exorbitant price. Yang Yunlin, Fang Xiang, and Chen Yijing all went to see him; they probably didn’t reach an agreement, otherwise Chen Yining wouldn’t have given such a response.”
“That’s likely the case!” Luo Ziling agreed with Ling Ruonan’s analysis.
“Around Chen Yining, there are people who have been bought by Chen Yijing, as well as those he’s placed himself. Similarly, around Chen Yijing, there are people bought by Chen Yining, or deliberately placed there by him.” Ling Ruonan suddenly changed the topic and started talking about these matters, “The struggle between the brothers has actually been going on for many years, but Chen Yining has always had the upper hand, after all, he is the eldest son. However, it’s surprising that Chen Ruchang ended up supporting Chen Yijing, which no one expected.”
Ling Ruonan’s words left Luo Ziling silent.
He believed there were people placed by Ling Ruonan around Ling Zhengping or people she had bought.
Likewise, quite a few people around Ling Ruonan had been bought by Ling Zhengping, which was a similar fact.
It’s really quite sad how siblings guard against and scheme against each other for the sake of interests.
However, existence is reasonable.
Since such things are commonly present, they can only be accepted.
“Mom, has Ling Zhengping made any moves during this period?” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but ask Ling Ruonan.
“He’s been quite busy lately, but it’s all with other matters, not doing anything against us.” Ling Ruonan understood the purpose of Luo Ziling’s question.
After hearing this, Luo Ziling lightly nodded and didn’t say anything further.
“Ishihara Tarou will be arriving in Yanjing tomorrow afternoon, make sure to meet him!” Ling Ruonan instructed Luo Ziling, “The incident involving the arrest of the two Japanese intelligence officers is still under investigation, but we’ve almost reached a conclusion. I think continuing the investigation won’t uncover much more. The Ishihara Family is willing to take the blame for this, so let’s let them.”
“Alright!”
In the evening of the next day, Ishihara Tarou arrived at Yanjing Airport on a flight from Huaxia Eastern Airlines.
Ishihara Naka went to meet him.
On the way back to the city with Ishihara Tarou, he made a phone call to Luo Ziling.
“Mr. Luo, my grandfather is in Yanjing and he wants to see you. Do you have some time tonight?” Ishihara Naka asked in a cautious manner.
After several setbacks, when facing Luo Ziling, he could only act with caution.
His grandfather’s visit wasn’t to support him, but to clean up the mess.
The trouble caused by the Ishihara Family made his grandfather travel such a distance to handle the aftermath, making Ishihara Naka feel rather ashamed. As a result, he was much more subdued when talking to Luo Ziling, even lowering his tone.
Luo Ziling didn’t refuse meeting with Ishihara Tarou and agreed with Ishihara Naka to meet them at the hotel shortly.
Around 8:30 PM, Luo Ziling appeared in front of Ishihara Tarou and Ishihara Naka.
Upon seeing Ishihara Tarou, Luo Ziling bluntly asked, “Mr. Ishihara, I want to know if your son was involved in this incident?”
Ishihara Tarou certainly wouldn’t admit his son’s involvement and quickly shook his head to deny: “He stayed in Tokyo the whole time and didn’t participate in this incident. But due to confidentiality, I can’t make things clearer. In other words, I can’t clear my son of suspicion.”
Ishihara Tarou acted honestly, which slightly eased Luo Ziling’s expression, yet he still sternly rebuked the Japanese intelligence agency’s shamelessness and audacity for planning action during his parents’ wedding.
As he continued speaking, Luo Ziling became very emotional and said, “If the Japanese intelligence did act during my parents’ wedding and caused them harm, I would never spare those Japanese agents and would kill all of them. Even encountering any Japanese, I’d act against them.”
Luo Ziling’s words startled Ishihara Tarou and Ishihara Naka.
They certainly knew Luo Ziling was just intimidating them.
However, upon meeting Luo Ziling’s gaze, feeling the hatred in his eyes, Ishihara Tarou still believed if such an event actually occurred, Luo Ziling would carry out such a drastic action.
Therefore, after taking a deep breath, with a very sincere tone, he again expressed regret over the incident and a willingness to make amends. Of course, after expressing his sincerity, he also condemned the Japanese intelligence agency’s wild conduct.
He hoped such things would never happen again.
Of course, he also expressed his helplessness over such matters.
Ishihara Tarou informed Luo Ziling that he planned to have Ishihara Naka’s father leave the intelligence field and do other work.
“I hope what you say is your true intention,” Luo Ziling still looked unfriendly.
After expressing apology again, Ishihara Tarou thanked Luo Ziling, thanking him for guiding Ishihara Naka over the past year.
While in Huaxia, Ishihara Naka made quite a few mistakes but was forgiven by Luo Ziling, earning Ishihara Tarou’s gratitude.
The medical knowledge Luo Ziling imparted to Ishihara Naka greatly benefited him, for which Ishihara Tarou was also thankful.
“Allowing more people to master advanced medical knowledge to benefit the masses is a healer’s duty,” Luo Ziling waved his hand, suggesting to Ishihara Tarou not to be so courteous. “A healer aiming to reach the pinnacle should not only possess exceptional skills but also high moral standards. I think Ishihara Naka still has many deficiencies in these aspects; however, these are not things I can teach him, and I hope Mr. Ishihara can properly guide him.”
Luo Ziling’s words enraged Ishihara Tarou.
Luo Ziling was clearly blaming the Ishihara family for poor upbringing!
Ishihara Naka was also quite angry, feeling insulted.
But neither the grandfather nor the grandson showed it. Ishihara Tarou expressed acceptance of Luo Ziling’s suggestion.
The next day, Ling Ruonan also met with Ishihara Tarou, and they had a lengthy discussion, eventually reaching an agreement.
This time, Ishihara Tarou was very generous, not only enhancing cooperation with Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling but also offering a grant of 20 million US dollars to the laboratory run by Luo Ziling under the guise of sponsorship.
With Ishihara Tarou’s generosity and earnestness in cooperation, Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan ultimately chose to forgive them.
“Mom, blackmailing old fox Ishihara is really a delightful thing!” Luo Ziling was quite proud.
“Be wary of the Ishihara family’s retaliation!” Ling Ruonan sternly cautioned Luo Ziling, “They’ve yielded to us several times; with Ishihara Tarou’s temperament, there’s no way he’d swallow this humiliation.”
Luo Ziling’s expression became instantly grave upon hearing this.
“Mom, I’ll remember that!”
