Chapter 536: 536: After All, He Is My Brother-in-law

Luo Ziling followed Yang Qingyin out but didn’t return to school; instead, they went to have a late-night snack.

During the drive, Yang Qingyin didn’t ask Luo Ziling about the situation, and Luo Ziling didn’t volunteer any information either.

After arriving at a rather upscale teahouse, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin reserved a private room.

“Hungry, aren’t you? Even I’m hungry; you must be starving,” Yang Qingyin directly ordered a bunch of food, not fussing over the tea.

Only after the server brought up the food and drinks did Yang Qingyin finally ask Luo Ziling about the matter.

“Dragon Rise’s people actually came to pick you up?” Yang Qingyin appeared very surprised, “Did you directly seek help from Li Haiyang?”

“I had no choice, in the heat of the moment today, I actually fired a gun,” Luo Ziling took out the gun from his pocket, played with it by tossing it twice, then said with a smile, “This is the gun Li Haiyang gave me, the gift he presented when we visited the museum together. I only got it after he helped me get a gun license. I took it out on impulse today, never expecting it would actually come in handy.”

Yang Qingyin was somewhat speechless. She looked at Luo Ziling strangely and then said, “With your skills, you still need to use a gun?”

“I actually wanted to scare them off, too lazy to fight. I didn’t expect that after firing a shot, they wouldn’t be afraid.” Luo Ziling was also somewhat amused and embarrassed, “I never thought I could actually wound someone. Seeing that I had injured someone, I got scared and called Li Haiyang for help.”

“It looks like Li Haiyang values you quite a bit. For him to personally arrange for someone to pick you up after such an incident,” Yang Qingyin said as she started to laugh, “But that’s good. The matter must have blown up by now. Those who wanted to escalate things should be more cautious.”

“Who do you think could be behind this?” asked Luo Ziling while reminding Yang Qingyin, “Director Li Qingyang just told me the suspect confessed that the mastermind was Mr. Fang, Fang Dongxun of the Fang Family.”

“It couldn’t be him. Even if he directed it, it’s impossible such information would come from the assailants’ mouths,” Yang Qingyin immediately shook her head in denial, certain it was someone from another family.

“But,” Luo Ziling looked seriously at Yang Qingyin, “isn’t it possible that Fang Dongxun is using reverse psychology, deliberately making it seem this way with the aim of deflecting our suspicion, because such a big loophole would immediately make everyone discount that possibility?”

“There is that possibility, but it’s not very likely,” Yang Qingyin thought for a moment and still rejected Luo Ziling’s speculation, “You’re currently treating Fang Dongxun, and you don’t have any reason to harm him; your potential for guilt can be completely ruled out. Thus, even if Fang Dongxun suspects you, he wouldn’t be certain, nor would he retaliate against someone who could potentially heal his injuries, so he’s totally out of the question.”

“You make a good point, quite a smart senior,” Luo Ziling said, stretching out his hand to pinch Yang Qingyin’s face, “As outstanding in intelligence as in beauty.”

“Stop it,” Yang Qingyin slapped away Luo Ziling’s hand, “Did you think I was stupid before?”

“No,” Luo Ziling shook his head and then chuckled, “Actually, I wish you were a little bit dumber so that I could deceive you.”

“Why would you want to deceive me?”

“Because if I deceived you, I would feel a sense of achievement,” Luo Ziling said unabashedly, “To win over such a beautiful woman, don’t you think that’s a sense of accomplishment?”

Yang Qingyin’s face turned red in an instant, and she spat disdainfully, “Annoying junior, always making fun of me. Alright, let’s get back to the serious topic.”

“So, who do you think is the most likely suspect?” Luo Ziling asked Yang Qingyin again.

“The Ling Family and our Yang Family are the most likely, and Chen Jiahai from the Chen Family is also very possible,” Yang Qingyin considered before she hesitated and then added, “But I think it shouldn’t be someone from our Yang Family. If someone from our Yang Family had taken action, they would have been concerned for my safety. From today’s events, they didn’t seem to care for my safety, so the likelihood can be reduced a bit.”

“What if someone does it on purpose next time?” Luo Ziling said with a smile before he laughed, “Am I getting more and more suspicious?”

“Being more suspicious is a good thing, ah. Because the situation is so complicated, you need to think it through carefully and not jump to conclusions easily.”

“It looks like it’s most likely people from the Ling Family. In many incidents, it’s been the Ling Family causing trouble,” Luo Ziling said with conviction. After speaking, he had an expression of deep resentment, “If I find out who’s been treating me this way, I’ll make sure they get their comeuppance—I’ll make them wish they were dead.”

“What exactly does ‘wish they were dead’ entail?” Yang Qingyin asked, a bit curious.

“I have drugs that can subdue anyone,” he said, and then Luo Ziling laughed proudly.

Yang Qingyin gave Luo Ziling an annoyed look and said discontentedly, “If I upset you next time, will you use drugs on me too?”

“How could that be possible?” Luo Ziling shook his head firmly, “Even if you bully me, I wouldn’t treat you like that.”

Yang Qingyin was immediately touched and leaned in to give Luo Ziling a kiss, then she laughed, “That’s your reward; hearing that made me feel really good.”

Seeing Luo Ziling laugh happily, she joked again, “I should bully you more in the future, make you want to cry.”

“Women’s hearts are the most poisonous!” Luo Ziling said with a look of exaggerated sorrow. He then grabbed some snacks in front of him and began to eat fiercely, “In order to have the strength to run away when a certain violent senior sister bullies me, I’d better eat a bit more.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Be careful you don’t turn into a big fat pig.”

“If I become a big fat pig, so be it. It doesn’t matter, as long as a certain heartless senior sister doesn’t drag me to a slaughterhouse to be killed.”

Luo Ziling’s funny manner of speaking once again made Yang Qingyin laugh.

But she quickly became serious and said earnestly, “I think, regarding today’s matter, it could have been planned by either Ling Haining or Chen Jiahai. They both dislike you, so you need to be careful. If you fall for it once, you might suffer a huge loss.”

“I will fight back, I won’t let them bully me. Even now, each time I come out on top, I feel suffocated inside. Someday, I must make them experience what it’s like to be bullied, make them cry without tears.” As he said this, Luo Ziling had a very serious and resolute expression on his face.

This look in his eyes sent a chill through Yang Qingyin’s heart.

Luo Ziling continued, “If your Yang Family moves against me, I will also fight back. I don’t want to be at their mercy; I’m afraid they’ll just finish me off.”

“I don’t know what to say,” Yang Qingyin’s expression became a bit melancholic, “Sigh, fortunately, my younger brother doesn’t have such schemes and actually appreciates you. Otherwise, if he were to join the ranks of those against you as well, you’d have even more troubles to deal with.”

“For your sake, I must get along well with your brother, making an ally is always better than having another opponent,” Luo Ziling said, and then he grinned, “After all, my future brother-in-law, I really need to win him over.”

The comment immediately made Yang Qingyin’s face turn red with embarrassment. She snapped back, “You always talk nonsense, who said I’m going to marry you?”

“If you won’t marry me, so be it. I’ll just storm into the Yang Family and carry you off to be The Lady in Charge of Suppressing Bandits,” Luo Ziling declared. Then suddenly, he stood up, wrapped his arms around Yang Qingyin’s head, and kissed her without a sign.
