Chapter 319: 319 Things Have Become Very Complicated

(Today’s fifth update)

After Ye Xiaoli came back with clothes and dinner, Luo Ziling, with the help of Yang Qingyin, was already lying face down on the bed resting.

As soon as Ye Xiaoli returned, Yang Qingyin immediately took the new clothes she had bought and helped Luo Ziling put them on.

The clothes Ye Xiaoli bought were a set of popular casual wear, similar to what Luo Ziling had worn that day.

Yang Qingyin considerately helped Luo Ziling get dressed, being very careful not to touch his wounds.

Ye Xiaoli stood silently by, surprised that her young mistress was willing to do such a thing for a boy. The considerate gesture was unexpected to her.

She could never have dreamed that her young mistress, who always held her head so high, would be willing to treat a boy like this.

Ye Xiaoli felt she had underestimated Luo Ziling’s place in Yang Qingyin’s heart.

Fortunately, Luo Ziling was not seriously hurt today. If he had been maimed or had died, she really didn’t know what her young mistress would have done.

Today was the first time she saw Yang Qingyin shed tears for a boy, and now seeing her treat Luo Ziling in such a way, it was clear to her that her young mistress had true feelings for Luo Ziling.

As Yang Qingyin helped Luo Ziling get dressed, she completely ignored Ye Xiaoli standing by, meticulously attentive like a little wife. After she finished dressing Luo Ziling, she took his hand and led him to the table to sit down and personally prepared his meal for him.

“Senior sister, thank you!” Yang Qingyin’s care and gentleness deeply touched Luo Ziling, who sincerely expressed his gratitude after sitting down.

“Just now, you got stabbed because you were protecting me. If it weren’t for me, you definitely wouldn’t have been hit by that first stab,” Yang Qingyin had carefully analyzed the situation from before. She felt that after Luo Ziling had been stabbed in the back, he was able to quickly take down his opponent. With such skills, he shouldn’t have received the subsequent stab in the front. It must have been to protect her and prevent her from getting hurt, that he got injured again.

“It’s okay, it’ll be completely healed in a couple of days.” Seeing Yang Qingyin’s look of self-reproach, Luo Ziling reached out and pinched her cheek, smiling as he comforted her. “Such a small injury, it’s nothing.”

What Luo Ziling said was indeed true. The dagger hadn’t gone in deep, and the moment he felt the pain, he had immediately reacted to minimize his injury. If the dagger had gone in deeper, he wouldn’t have been able to take down the two assailants so easily, nor would he have been able to maintain such a strong spirit until now — it really was a minor injury.

“Okay, I hope you recover quickly.” Yang Qingyin didn’t dwell on the subject anymore and urged Luo Ziling to eat.

“Xiaoli, come and sit down to eat, too,” seeing Ye Xiaoli standing by silently, Luo Ziling quickly invited her, “You haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Come and eat with us.”

“Come and eat with us!” After Yang Qingyin called her again, Ye Xiaoli finally came over and sat down.

Ye Xiaoli had bought quite a few dishes, including Suancai fish, grilled oysters, lobsters, and other dishes that Luo Ziling liked, all without chili peppers.

Yang Qingyin hadn’t given any specific instructions on what to buy, but the dishes Ye Xiaoli picked out fit Luo Ziling’s taste well and didn’t include any spicy seasonings, which Luo Ziling appreciated.

During the meal, Yang Qingyin asked Ye Xiaoli, “Have you heard any news? Did the police tell you who was behind this?”

“Not yet,” Ye Xiaoli shook her head, “But the outcome can be expected. It’s certain that nothing will come out of those two people’s mouths.”

“Why?” Luo Ziling, who was already very hungry and eating heartily, asked in surprise, “Won’t they confess?”

“Those two individuals were probably just hired to do a job, and they themselves don’t even know who’s behind it. Unless the mastermind is caught. But the person who hired them definitely wouldn’t have contacted them directly, only sending messages by phone to tell them when to act. So even if the police interrogate these two assailants, they won’t be able to get any results,” Ye Xiaoli explained in detail.

Yang Qingyin sighed and didn’t ask any more questions.

“So it’s like that,” Luo Ziling was stunned for a moment and didn’t ask any more questions.

After dinner, Yang Qingyin told Luo Ziling to go back and rest early, and she planned to personally escort Luo Ziling back to his dormitory.

“Senior sister, you’re also tired, you should go back and rest early,” Luo Ziling said. “Look, your clothes are all dirty. Hurry back and take a shower and then go to sleep.” Luo Ziling didn’t want Yang Qingyin to escort him to his dormitory; that would definitely cause a sensation throughout the town.

With the situation as it was, having just experienced an assassination attempt that day, he certainly didn’t want everyone to know that he and Yang Qingyin were now together.

Although Ye Xiaoli said that the two assailants couldn’t be traced back to the true mastermind behind the attack, Luo Ziling subconsciously believed that it was the doing of the Yang Family. No reason needed to be given, only the Yang Family didn’t want to see him and Yang Qingyin together.

Luo Ziling could definitively assert that he also believed the Yang Family was behind the previous attack at the school gate; it was only because of Lin Lan’s involvement that the outcome was as it was, and he didn’t make much of a fuss about it.

For fear of more trouble, he didn’t want everyone to know about him and Yang Qingyin.

Yang Qingyin understood Luo Ziling’s concerns, so she didn’t insist, and together with Ye Xiaoli, they escorted him to the front of the male dormitory building.

They left only after watching him go upstairs.

As he was walking towards the dormitory, Luo Ziling found it strange that his mother Ling Ruonan hadn’t reacted strongly to the attack at the school gate. Was she trying to let him go through some hardship? Then would Ling Ruonan still show no reaction after he was attacked again this time?

Although Luo Ziling felt that he should confront many things by himself, he still greatly longed for Ling Ruonan’s concern.

“Should I tell her about it?”

Meanwhile, as Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli were escorting Luo Ziling back to the dormitory, several kilometers away from the school in a villa, two men were discussing the evening’s assassination attempt on Luo Ziling.

“Was it you who sent those men?” the older man asked the man sitting opposite him.

“Brother, I really didn’t do it this time,” the younger man said as he shook his head furiously. “I planned the incident at the school gate last time, but I didn’t expect that kid to be so good at fighting. Dragon Rise’s people also stood up for him, and we didn’t even have a chance to frame him.”

“If you didn’t order it, then who could it be?” The middle-aged man stood up and walked over to the window, pondering for a while before turning around with a cold smile, “It seems like someone wants to splash dirty water on us.”

“Brother, who could it be?” The younger man also stood up.

“It could be the Ling Family, the Chen Family, or the Fang Family,” the older man said with a wry smile. “Most likely it’s the Ling Family. But Ling Ruonan and that kid will surely pin it on the Yang Family.”

“Brother, what should we do?”

“For now, do nothing and watch how things unfold,” the older man sat down again, chuckling, “It seems that many people have their eyes on this kid and want to use him for their own purposes.”

“Brother, won’t that make things very complicated?”

“Yes!”
