Chapter 1546: Chapter 1546 Someone is Following

Luo Yuqing spoke recklessly without any reservation, making Luo Ziling quite embarrassed.

Originally, when he interacted with Dai Shulan, he had no other thoughts, purely considering her as a deep friendship.

But after Luo Yuqing’s nonsensical meddling, things felt different.

He no longer dared to invite Dai Shulan, let alone meet her in private.

He also decided that if they met again in the future, he should bring Luo Yuqing along, ensuring nothing would happen.

After escorting Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan back to the female dormitory, Luo Ziling didn’t return to Ling Ruonan’s villa but went back to the dormitory to sleep instead.

When he returned, it was already very late, and the other three guys in the dorm were already asleep.

As soon as he got back, the three guys all woke up from their half-asleep state, poking their heads out, eagerly asking him about things.

Luo Ziling ignored them and went to the bathroom to wash up.

The next morning, Luo Ziling got up early and went for a run on the sports field.

During the New Year’s period, he had slacked off on his usual morning exercises, but Luo Ziling decided to keep up with his body training as much as possible.

Health is the capital of revolution; as someone studying medicine, he deeply understood this.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into Luo Yuqing on the sports field again.

"Since I became your sister, this is the first time bumping into you while running." Luo Yuqing, dressed in a vibrant red tracksuit, energetically ran up to Luo Ziling and said with a semblance of complaint, "Can I say something to you?"

"Say whatever you want," Luo Ziling laughed brightly, "It doesn’t matter if you, as my sister, scold me—go ahead when it’s just the two of us. Just don’t do it in front of others."

"I find you more and more annoying," Luo Yuqing pinched Luo Ziling, then laughed, "Last night, I discussed with Ouyang Feifei about the fees for the rights of Dai Shulan’s book. She suggested we offer six million to purchase it: one million for the website and five million for Dai Shulan herself. Spending six million on the film rights of a book is actually quite cheap. Considering Dai Shulan is a newcomer, everyone should be satisfied with this price."

"Writing books is quite lucrative," Luo Ziling chuckled, "Maybe I’ll write a book someday."

"I did some simple research," Luo Yuqing said while running alongside Luo Ziling, "The threshold for web literature is low; anyone can write if they want to, but the success rate is equally low. Fewer than ten out of a hundred books can get signed, and fewer than five of those signed can achieve success. In other words, the success rate is less than one percent. If the success rate of doing something is less than one percent, are you sure you’ll invest all your energy into it?"

"I really wouldn’t," Luo Ziling shook his head, "You’ve successfully dissuaded me from the idea."

"I’m thinking, if we properly support Dai Shulan and help manage her a bit, she might just become a top-notch writer." Then Luo Yuqing finally stated her true intention, "If she can maintain her writing quality, we could sign her under us and acquire all her film rights. With good promotion and management, she could be a cash cow."

"Have you discussed this with Dai Shulan?" Luo Ziling was surprised.

"No," Luo Yuqing shook her head. "Actually, I only thought of it last night before I went to sleep. I believe that if we invest effort in nurturing her, she will inevitably become famous. However, my concern is that in the end, it might just benefit others."

"What do you mean?" Luo Ziling was a bit puzzled, "Are you afraid she might be poached after becoming famous?"

"That’s one worry," Luo Yuqing didn’t deny it, "But there’s a more important point: what if one day Dai Shulan genuinely falls for you, but you can’t marry her? She might act irrationally out of love-hate, causing harm not just to you but also bringing trouble to our company."

"What nonsense," Luo Ziling exclaimed after a brief pause, cursing Luo Yuqing, "Seriously, Luo Yuqing, why do you always think of such unrealistic things?"

"I’m not being unrealistic; this is something that might actually happen," Luo Yuqing slowed her pace and said earnestly, "Don’t underestimate yourself. Even women like me, Yang Qingyin, and Ouyang Feifei are attracted to you. Do you think it’s difficult for you to attract other girls?"

Luo Ziling couldn’t respond to that and stayed silent.

Since Luo Ziling said nothing, neither did Luo Yuqing.

After they ran for a while, Luo Ziling reminded Luo Yuqing not to forget about picking up their grandfather that afternoon.

"I’m more attentive than you," Luo Yuqing teased, rolling her eyes at Luo Ziling. "I’ve already called grandpa earlier, saying we’ll meet him at the airport."

"Earlier?"

"Yes, I know he wakes up early, so I called before morning exercises."

"Alright then," Luo Ziling said no more.

After breakfast, Luo Ziling called Ling Ruonan, asking when she planned to leave.

They had agreed to go to the company together the day before, and Luo Ziling hoped Ling Ruonan would pick him up.

He was so excited from their discussion the previous night that he’d forgotten and ended up sleeping at the school.

Only after finishing his morning exercise did he remember it.

Ling Ruonan told Luo Ziling to wait at the door, saying she’d come to pick him up soon.

After heading to Northern Group’s headquarters with Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling joined Ling Ruonan for the company’s executive meeting.

In the afternoon, Luo Yuqing called Luo Ziling, asking him to pick her up.

Luo Ziling didn’t refuse and, bringing along Yang Xiaodong, went to pick Luo Yuqing up, also picking up Yang Qingyin on the way.

"Ziling, do you think, with so many of us going to pick up grandpa, someone might try to cause trouble?" Luo Yuqing whispered to Luo Ziling on the way out of school, "If someone tries to cause trouble, one of us might get hurt."

Hearing Luo Yuqing’s warning, Luo Ziling also realized the seriousness of the situation. He immediately instructed Wuyue, along with Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun, to make security preparations. He repeatedly emphasized to Wuyue the importance of having sufficient protective measures.

After the incident with Ling Ruonan, Wuyue had been on high alert, deeply concerned about Ling Ruonan’s safety and not daring to let her guard down.

She didn’t need instructions from Luo Ziling to set up arrangements at a moderately high level of alert.

Wang Zhenjun and Yang Xiaodong also followed Luo Ziling’s instructions and made adequate preparations.

In addition to the main escorting convoy, they arranged for one car to follow several hundred meters behind, ready to respond as necessary.

As it turned out, Luo Yuqing’s apprehension was justified. After Ling Ruonan’s vehicle left Northern Group, the trailing car quickly detected something suspicious: a cloned-plate vehicle was following Ling Ruonan’s convoy.

Upon receiving this report, Luo Ziling didn’t hesitate to order Wuyue to take the initiative and act first.
