Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan didn't expect Luo Ziling to ask so directly.

Even though the two had mentally prepared themselves, they still couldn't answer such a question.

"Actually, I knew long ago that you two joined under my tutelage with a special purpose. But I also know that you won't stir up too much trouble. Also, I should tell you, I can make you disappear without a trace, and no one would ever find out any clue. After all, you are both my disciples. Once a teacher, always a father. As your father, it's not too outrageous for me to rid myself of two ungrateful disciples." Luo Ziling said calmly, "You both have studied Huaxia's classical texts and know much about traditional Huaxian culture. You should also be clear about the punishment for betraying trust and disrespecting your teacher and ancestors."

After pausing for a moment, Luo Ziling continued, "Speak up. I think you would prefer not to sample the taste those two people just experienced."

After Luo Ziling finished speaking, he stood up and instructed Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun, who were waiting by his side, "Give them half an hour to confess. If they still won't, let me know."

After saying this, he didn't look at the dejected Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan again and left the room.

After leaving the room, Luo Ziling left the place altogether without staying any longer.

Yang Xiaodong followed him out, while Wang Zhenjun remained there.

Luo Ziling was confident that Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan would confess everything.

He didn't go home immediately but went to the Northern Pharmaceuticals building, where other team members resided.

When he arrived at the Northern Pharmaceuticals building, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening.

Just as he got out of the car, Luo Ziling received a phone call from Wang Zhenjun, saying that Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan had confessed to the problem.

He recorded it on video.

Luo Ziling did not ask Wang Zhenjun what exactly the problems were that Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan had confessed to.

He knew that since Wang Zhenjun said so, it must have been a satisfactory result.

He immediately instructed Wang Zhenjun to edit the video of the confessions for use later.

Wang Zhenjun naturally agreed.

When Luo Ziling arrived at the Northern Pharmaceuticals building, most of the people who had come back had already washed up and were preparing to rest.

But upon hearing that Luo Ziling had come, they all got up.

Luo Ziling didn't say much, only mentioning that he came to see them, acknowledging everyone's hard work during the time they were out.

Now back, they would have a two-day holiday and could enjoy leisurely activities.

However, they still had to keep up with their studies, and they needed to write a report on the activities and accomplishments achieved during the time abroad.

He also wanted them to document the types, qualities, and uses of the medicinal herbs they had gathered.

After giving these instructions, Luo Ziling chatted privately with two members of Dragon Rise for a while.

Then he went to find Dong Xiaowan.

Dong Xiaowan had just finished her shower and was washing clothes in her room. Knowing Luo Ziling was coming, she didn't come out to meet him.

She was quite angry, mainly because of how cold Luo Ziling had been to her at the airport.

However, when she opened the door and saw Luo Ziling standing at the entrance of her room, she felt a bit pleased.

But she still maintained a cold face as she let Luo Ziling enter the room.

"Coming to a girl's room in the middle of the night, don't you find it inconvenient?" Dong Xiaowan asked Luo Ziling with a playful tone after letting him into the room. "If people misunderstand, can you explain it clearly?"

"I came today to settle things from last time," Luo Ziling said coldly as he looked at Dong Xiaowan. "Don't get any funny ideas."

Hearing Luo Ziling bringing up old issues, Dong Xiaowan immediately lost her assertiveness. She lowered her head, murmuring, "Didn't I already admit my mistake?"

"Did you?" Luo Ziling sat down on the sofa and teased Dong Xiaowan, "You want to ruin my reputation; you're too despicable. Actually, I can't figure it out. If my reputation went bad, what benefit would you have? Would you become prettier, or would your figure get better? Or perhaps your medical skills would improve significantly?"

After mumbling a few times, Dong Xiaowan softly said, "I know I was wrong. I deleted the Weibo post and explained it afterward. I was just a bit angry with how you treated me, so I wanted to annoy you a little. I had no malicious intent. If I really wanted to tarnish your reputation maliciously, it wouldn't have just ended like that."

"So you're saying you acted wisely and rationally?"

"I was wrong, okay?" Dong Xiaowan raised her beautiful eyes pitifully at Luo Ziling. "I'm such a pretty girl. You can't forgive a mistake from a girl like me, a guy can't forgive?"

Luo Ziling completely ignored Dong Xiaowan's pitiful look. "If you do something wrong, you have to be punished. You decide what punishment to receive."

"Can't you forgive me just this once?"

"No!"

"Then how do you want to punish me?" Dong Xiaowan bit her lip tightly. "You won't torment me, will you?"

Luo Ziling didn't speak, only giving her a cold stare.

"Please forgive me this once, okay?" Dong Xiaowan moved in front of Luo Ziling, lowering her head and looking at him pitifully. "I promise I won't do that again. I'll be a good student and help you with things. I'll help you keep an eye on the others; they'll listen to me. Is that okay?"

Luo Ziling stood up, moved in front of Dong Xiaowan, and lifted her chin with his hand, forcing her to face him closely.

"I warn you, if you ever dare to pull any tricks again, don't blame me for being ruthless," Luo Ziling warned softly but sternly. "Listen to me, and it'll be advantageous for you. Otherwise, you'll lose everything."
