Chapter 1382 Suspicion

Chapter 1382: Chapter 1382 Suspicion

After Luo Ziling returned to Yanjing, he went directly to Ling Ruonan’s villa.

The Spring Festival holiday wasn’t over yet, but Ling Ruonan was busy with various matters almost every day after her return to Yanjing.

However, once Luo Ziling came back, she put aside her work to cook him dinner.

The dinner was personally cooked by Ling Ruonan, and the mother and son ate together. To Luo Ziling’s surprise, Ouyang Feifei wasn’t there.

"She’s busy with something," Ling Ruonan explained with a smile, "She’s going back to work in a couple of days and needed to prepare some things."

"We have it better, our winter vacation lasts until after the Lantern Festival," Luo Ziling chuckled.

"Is there a difference between you going to school and having a holiday?" Ling Ruonan gave Luo Ziling a sideways glance, "How many classes have you attended this semester?"

"Mom, can you not nitpick about these things?" Luo Ziling said with a wry smile, "Many classes, I can’t understand. Besides, I feel that some classes aren’t necessary, like Advanced Math, Marxism-Leninism, College Chinese - these subjects are practically useless in the process of studying medicine later on."

"Stop making excuses, try to attend more classes next semester, you have to at least graduate. Also, focus your main energy on medical research. Didn’t your grandfather want you to carry forward traditional medicine? Looking at you now, you don’t seem to have the slightest intention to do so."

"Alright, alright, I’ll heed Her Majesty Mother’s teachings," Luo Ziling raised his hands in surrender, "Next semester, I’ll definitely focus on studying and researching medical skills. I’ll make sure to puncture that acupuncture bronze man through and through; just don’t blame me for damaging a cultural relic."

"That bronze figure should come as a pair," Ling Ruonan relayed some information that Ouyang Feifei had helped to investigate to Luo Ziling, "The other one is likely overseas, possibly in the hands of South Koreans. If you have the chance, try to bring that bronze figure back too."

"If we really find out the whereabouts of the other bronze figure, we must retrieve it no matter what." Luo Ziling’s interest was piqued instantly.

The acupuncture bronze man was created by the famous Northern Song physician Wang Weiyi, originally coming in a pair. However, due to the chaos of war, they were lost and their whereabouts unknown.

In fact, Luo Ziling wasn’t completely certain that the bronze figure he had collected was a Song Dynasty artifact.

The acupuncture bronze man was replicated during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and since no one had seen these figures for comparison, Luo Ziling had his doubts.

However, whether they are Ming or Qing Dynasty replicas, they are all considered precious cultural relics, just like the ones made during the Song Dynasty period.

A cultural relic belonging to Huaxia, how can it fall into the hands of foreigners?

"You won the bronze figure through an acupuncture skill competition, maybe next time you can replicate this successful experience," Ling Ruonan suggested a strategy for Luo Ziling, "Mom will have someone investigate thoroughly, and then we’ll decide."

"OK!"

Then, Ling Ruonan shifted the topic and started talking about the events that had happened since her return to Yanjing.

Luo Ziling already guessed that Ling Ruonan must have had unpleasant encounters with the families of Ling Haining, Ling Haijun, Ling Haiyang, and Ling Haihang during her visits, so when Ling Ruonan brought these matters up, he immediately asked if that was the case.

"They suspect that it was our doing, how could there not be complaints?" Ling Ruonan replied with a bitter smile: "But as long as I’ve done my duty by visiting them, that’s enough. Whatever they think, I won’t bother with these things any longer."

Hearing Ling Ruonan say this, Luo Ziling didn’t pursue the topic further.

That night, he stayed at Ling Ruonan’s villa.

The next day, Ling Ruonan had things to take care of and left.

When Ling Ruonan left, she told Luo Ziling that she would return after having lunch, as she was going to prepare for some matters that she needed to report to the Board of Directors today. She had to draft a plan for cooperation with the Yuezhou government to inform the board members.

Luo Ziling didn’t ask too many questions; after all, he was not adept at these matters and had no intention to meddle.

Knowing that Luo Ziling had come back, Luo Yuqing called him early in the morning.

Because he suspected that there was something unusual between him and Luo Yuqing, Luo Ziling was somewhat afraid to face her.

"Junior Brother, my mom wants to see you. If you have time, could you come over and meet her?" Luo Yuqing’s tone was clearly different from before.

In the past, whenever Luo Yuqing called, she always sounded very cheerful and her tone was hearty.

But today, that heartiness was completely gone.

In Luo Ziling’s view, Luo Yuqing also seemed quite embarrassed.

However, he ultimately agreed to Luo Yuqing’s request and was willing to meet Wu Ningjing.

So, the three of them made arrangements to have lunch together.

Luo Ziling said he would treat Luo Yuqing and Wu Ningjing to lunch, and Luo Yuqing did not argue with him.

The three met at a quiet café not far from the school, which was still open during the New Year season.

Wu Ningjing was dressed very prettily, looking young and beautiful, and really looked like sisters when standing next to Luo Yuqing.

"Yuqing has already told me about the paternity test results, and I’ve always believed that you two are siblings," Wu Ningjing said with a complicated gaze at Luo Ziling as they sat down, "Now that it’s finally proven, a weight has been lifted off my heart."

"Aunt Wu, even so, Yuqing is still your daughter."

Wu Ningjing sighed deeply and said, "Yuqing belongs to the Luo Family, but I, as her mother, do not."

"My mom will probably want to talk to you," said Luo Ziling with a calm expression, "She definitely has something to say to you."

Wu Ningjing nodded her head, "I’ll wait for her to come find me again."

"Actually, I’m a little confused about why the first test results were not like this." Luo Ziling said as he looked at Luo Yuqing.

"Don’t worry, I will find out why the last test results denied our sibling relationship," Luo Yuqing said, appearing to take it to heart, "I’ve looked into it, and they say genetic testing doesn’t make mistakes unless they mixed up the samples. When they’re back at work, I’m going to clarify this issue. If they lied to us, I won’t let them get away with it."

"Someone might have tampered with it," Wu Ningjing said in a lowered voice, "It’s very possible that someone wanted to take revenge on you and deliberately made you think you’re not blood-related. If you both thought you’re not related by blood and ended up together, then their goal would have been achieved."

Hearing Wu Ningjing say that, Luo Ziling felt incredibly awkward. He had no idea how to face what Wu Ningjing was saying.

He sneaked a glance at Luo Yuqing, but, unexpectedly, Luo Yuqing showed no sign of abnormality, still as calm as before.

This made Luo Ziling unable to help but admire her; Luo Yuqing was indeed composed.

However, he began to doubt again, could it be that nothing had happened between him and Luo Yuqing? Otherwise, how could she remain so composed?
