Chapter 1511: Chapter 1511: Lin Lan Arrives

Wang Feiyang didn’t linger long. After finishing what he had to say, he left with a casual air.

Li Jiawei had left a car for Wang Feiyang, so when she departed, she didn’t need Luo Ziling to assign anyone to escort her.

As Wang Feiyang drove away, Luo Yuqing appeared by Luo Ziling’s side.

"What did she talk to you about?" Luo Yuqing asked Luo Ziling in a low voice. "Was it about your mom, or was it about you?"

"About my mom," Luo Ziling replied, not wanting to discuss such things with Luo Yuqing.

But Luo Yuqing clung to him, insisting on discussing it.

"I don’t like her," Luo Yuqing stated her stance outright. "She’s so overbearing, too full of herself. And she’s very calculating. Her visit today with her mom to see your mom definitely had a special motive. If I’m not mistaken, she’s got her eyes on you too."

"Why would you say that?" Luo Ziling looked surprised.

"Women’s intuition," Luo Yuqing huffed. "A woman like her wants a husband who’s better than her in every way, someone outstanding. And you fit her criteria. But she’s not like other women who would just hover around you."

"What nonsense," Luo Ziling said, half amused, half helpless. "You’ve only met her once, what gives you the right to judge her like that?"

"Oh, so you’re defending her!" Luo Yuqing was even more upset. "Anyway, I don’t like her, and I don’t want her to be your wife."

Luo Ziling was speechless.

"Actually, I think I’m the most suitable person to be your wife, but I no longer have the chance to become your wife," Luo Yuqing said with a face full of grievance. "Sigh, life is so cruel. But now I think there might be another person just as suitable to be your wife. Though unlike me, she can’t help you achieve great things. She is the type of woman who would make a good wife and mother. If you marry her, you’ll definitely be very happy."

"Who?" Luo Ziling actually already had a guess about who Luo Yuqing was talking about.

"Dai Shulan," Luo Yuqing didn’t keep him guessing and said the name directly. "Her gentleness and charm, I really envy that."

"Stop bringing up other women," Luo Ziling said, unwilling to continue this conversation with Luo Yuqing. "Things are messy enough as it is. I’m still young. Just falling in love for now is fine. As for marriage—when and with whom—that can wait. There’s always a way forward when the time comes, so stop worrying about things prematurely."

"What are you saying? You’re calling me a eunuch now?" Luo Yuqing, enraged, pinched Luo Ziling. Then she said with a huff, "Anyway, I’m sticking to what I said—you absolutely can’t marry Wang Feiyang. I really don’t like her personality. Whether it’s Ouyang Feifei, Yang Qingyin, Chen Xiaoyi, or Dai Shulan, I could accept any of them. Hmm, actually, that Lin Lan isn’t bad either, though she’s a bit too cold. Besides, I worry that if she marries you, you might not be able to handle her."

"You just told me earlier to stay away from Dai Shulan," Luo Ziling said as he ignored Luo Yuqing’s nonsense and prepared to head upstairs.

At that moment, the door to the living room was pushed open, and a woman walked in.

"Wow, speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives!" Seeing the woman, Luo Yuqing instantly exclaimed and ran over, grabbing the woman’s arm. "Comrade Lin Lan, Ziling and I were just talking about you."

Luo Ziling felt a bit awkward.

The visitor was indeed Lin Lan, the very person Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing had just been discussing. Luo Ziling had no idea if Lin Lan had overheard their conversation.

Lin Lan clearly felt uncomfortable with Luo Yuqing’s enthusiasm. This was their first formal meeting, after all, so she seemed a little uneasy.

"Why are you here?" Luo Ziling walked up to Lin Lan and smiled. "I’ve been busy these days and haven’t visited you. How’s your recovery going?"

"Not dead yet," Lin Lan replied stiffly before asking, "How’s your mom doing?"

"Judging by things, news about my mom’s car accident seems to have spread far and wide," Luo Ziling said with a wry smile but still answered. "Luckily, her injuries weren’t severe. After treating her myself, she’s pretty much recovered."

"I figured as much," Lin Lan nodded. "So I didn’t come to visit right away."

As she spoke, Lin Lan glanced at Luo Yuqing, who was still holding her arm.

But Luo Yuqing showed no intention of letting go. Instead, she smiled and said to Lin Lan, "I’m Ziling’s sister. Anything you want to talk about can be said in front of me, right?" That last "right?" was directed at Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling nodded at Lin Lan.

After a moment’s hesitation, Lin Lan spoke up. "I did some investigating myself. It’s certain that this wasn’t an accident—it was a deliberate attempt. As to who orchestrated it, it might be like the previous incidents—impossible to track down."

Luo Ziling nodded, recalling the sniper attack he had faced before. That incident had also ended without uncovering the real culprit.

Thinking of that sniper attack, Luo Ziling suddenly felt a chill and immediately asked Lin Lan, "Do you think this incident is connected to the gunfire attack from before? Could it be the same person behind both?"

"Definitely not," Lin Lan shook her head. "These seem like two different types of orchestrations. The sniper attack was a straightforward assassination attempt on your mom’s life. But this time, it doesn’t seem like they were out to kill her. It seemed more like they wanted to send her a warning or force her out of the Northern Group."

Since Luo Yuqing was still present, Lin Lan chose not to delve into more sensitive matters.

There were some things she wouldn’t share with Luo Ziling or anyone—not even the closest people in her life. She would rather bury those secrets deep within herself.

"Sister Lin Lan, you’re so good to Ziling. Even with Aunt Ling’s situation, you’re taking the initiative to investigate," Luo Yuqing said with a smile. "You’re so beautiful. The aura of a soldier is totally different from ordinary people. Standing next to you, I feel like just a little girl. I really admire you."

Lin Lan ignored Luo Yuqing’s remarks, simply smiling before turning to look at Luo Ziling. "Can you take me to see your mom?"

"Sure, let’s go up," Luo Ziling smiled and motioned for Lin Lan to follow him.

Ouyang Feifei was sitting by Ling Ruonan’s bedside. Upon seeing Luo Ziling enter with Lin Lan, she immediately stood up.

When she recognized Lin Lan, Ouyang Feifei greeted her and then left the room, pulling Luo Yuqing out with her.

"Mrs. Ling, I heard you were injured, so I came to check on you after leaving the police station," Lin Lan said somewhat shyly as she greeted Ling Ruonan. She then directly shared what she knew. "This was definitely a premeditated act. I’ll do my best to investigate the matter thoroughly."

"Thank you for your effort," Ling Ruonan smiled faintly at Lin Lan. "You really didn’t have to; it might drag you into trouble."

"It’s no trouble. I don’t have much going on for now anyway," Lin Lan replied, glancing at Luo Ziling as she continued. "He’s saved my life many times. It’s only fair I do something for him in return."

Ling Ruonan glanced at Luo Ziling, then at Lin Lan, and sighed softly.
