Luo Ziling never expected that the meeting with Ling Zhengping would be so brief and dramatic.

He could see Ling Ruonan's strong-willed nature and also sensed Ling Zhengping's unwillingness.

He also knew that Ling Zhengping would definitely take further action; this uncle of his would not just let it go.

On the way back, Luo Ziling shared his thoughts with Ling Ruonan.

"That's a certainty," Ling Ruonan agreed, "How could my brother just bow down to us? He just doesn't want to lose his position as the heir to the family head, so he's temporarily backing down. But he has his pride, and when facing you, his nephew, he'll certainly try to assert his uncle's authority."

"Will he send Ling Haining to my side, to be at my disposal?"

"He definitely will," Ling Ruonan nodded, "After our tough stance today, he is surely afraid of us complaining to the two elders, so he'll temporarily back down. Plus, the new personnel arrangements are soon to be made; he can't afford to be careless."

"Mom, we should assign a few people to him to avoid being so passive." Luo Ziling suggested.

Ling Ruonan was startled, but still nodded slightly, "I'll personally arrange it."

In fact, Ling Ruonan had been making such arrangements a few years ago, but the people she placed couldn't become close confidants of Ling Zhengping. In other words, none of the people she arranged could track Ling Zhengping's movements.

This matter, not even Wuyue knew, was personally orchestrated by Ling Ruonan.

She wouldn't tell Luo Ziling; the fewer people know about such things, the better.

"It's late today, tomorrow we'll go see your grandfather and great-grandfather together." Ling Ruonan advised, "With such an incident happening, you, being the key person involved, need to explain the situation to them."

"Then I'll go with you tomorrow." Luo Ziling agreed.

Tomorrow is Saturday, there's no school, and Ling Ruonan doesn't need to work, so they can freely arrange their time.

Because it's almost the weekend, Luo Ziling originally planned to go with Yang Qingyin to Yangzhou or Gusu for some fun, but with Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei coming over, they had to change their plans and return to Yanjing together.

While they were speaking, Luo Ziling's phone rang. It was Luo Yuqing calling, so he answered immediately.

"Have you landed?" Luo Yuqing asked.

"On the way home!"

"I'm coming over to see you; there are many things to discuss."

"Okay!" Luo Ziling agreed.

It was already nine o'clock at night, and they had only eaten the airline meal for dinner.

Ling Ruonan didn't mind, but Luo Ziling was hungry, so as they approached the villa, he instructed his men to prepare some supper.

Wuyue personally went to arrange the supper for Luo Ziling.

When they arrived at the entrance of the community, Luo Yuqing was already waiting there.

"You're in such a hurry to find me; what's so important?" Seeing Luo Yuqing so anxious, Luo Ziling couldn't help but tease, "It's not like you've felt as though one day apart is three autumns apart, right? No need for that between siblings."

"Mrs. Ling, look at this, Ziling just loves to tease me," Luo Yuqing complained to Ling Ruonan, "He's always bullying me."

"Not serious at all," Ling Ruonan gave Luo Ziling a stern look, "Don't be so casual in front of others; you don't want people to misunderstand your sibling relationship as anything inappropriate."

"How could it be that twisted?"

Luo Ziling's words earned him a glare from Luo Yuqing, but he didn't care and just chuckled.

"Alright, no more jokes. Let me tell you some good news," Luo Ziling shared about the Yuezhou Municipal Government's plan to shoot a city promotional video and public service ads with Luo Yuqing.

Luo Yuqing was delighted upon hearing this: "Really? I was worried that after we finished this PSA for disabled veterans, we'd have nothing to film. This is great; we'll be busy for months. But if we take this job, won't we be running to Yuezhou often?"

"Yuezhou is our hometown; going back often isn't a bad thing, right?" Luo Ziling countered, "Do you know, this time I went back and planted a lot of flowers in our hometown? In a month, when the peonies bloom, I need to go back and see. The seller said there are all sorts of colors, and if not, I'll have to hold the store accountable."

"Let's get back to business," Ling Ruonan interjected, "Since you're so eager, Yuqing, it must be something important. Stop digressing, and get to the point, then go to bed early. Yuqing, stay here tonight; there's no need to rush back and forth. You all chat first; I'm going to take a bath."

"Had a great time, didn't you?" After Ling Ruonan went inside, Luo Yuqing leered at Luo Ziling, "The two of you flying together like that, must be nice."

"What, jealous?"

"So what if I am?" Luo Yuqing retorted, embarrassed and annoyed, "I'm unhappy about it, so what?"

Luo Ziling got up, went to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of vinegar, and placed it in front of a stunned Luo Yuqing, "Here, eat up, have more."

This naturally resulted in Luo Yuqing giving Luo Ziling a playful beating.

It was at this time that Wuyue came in with the supper, and seeing Luo Yuqing and Luo Ziling playing around, she awkwardly paused at the door.

"Sister Wuyue, what good food did you buy?" Luo Yuqing let go of Luo Ziling and ran to Wuyue, taking a deep sniff before exclaiming: "Wow, so much good food. Sister Wuyue, are you trying to fatten up the pig!"

"Hey, who are you calling a pig?" Luo Ziling protested.

"Whoever answers is who it is!"

Luo Ziling could only keep quiet.

After handing the food to Luo Yuqing, Wuyue subtly signaled something to Luo Ziling before leaving.

Luo Ziling understood and quickly stood up, saying to Luo Yuqing as he left, "I'll go make some arrangements. Just got back, can't be lax on security."

Luo Yuqing didn't mind, spreading out the supper that Wuyue brought on the table.

When Luo Ziling went out, Wuyue was waiting for him.

"Young Master, Ling Zhengping already took a flight." Wuyue briefed Luo Ziling, "He didn't arrange for anyone to follow us. During this period, there have been no suspicious people around the villa. Yang Yunlin also returned to the capital last night without any special actions. However, the Fang and Chen families have made some moves recently."

Luo Ziling's heart was stirred, and he quietly asked Wuyue, "Do you think some actions are from the Fang Family?"

Wuyue gently nodded, "For now, it can't be ruled out."

Luo Ziling's mind was suddenly overwhelmed with waves of shock; it seems like the Fang Family's kindness comes with a specific purpose.

They want to gain from the disputes between the families.

In fact, to gain benefits, they even do things intentionally to provoke disputes---if Wuyue's guess is correct, then Luo Ziling felt his conjecture was right.
