“Tell me in detail about what happened today,” Ling Haining instructed Ling Haijun, “Make sure it’s detailed.”

Ling Haijun didn’t hold back and divulged all the news he had just received to Ling Haining.

“This matter is out of the ordinary,” Ling Haining said as he immediately stood up, ready to return home, “You guys have fun, I need to step out for a bit.”

Seeing Ling Haining rush off, Ling Haijun was taken aback, but by the time he realized what was happening, Ling Haining was already out of sight, leaving him no choice but to let it be.

Ling Haining went straight home, and when he got there, Ling Zhengping was watching the evening news in the living room.

Today, Ling Zhengping was in a bad mood, and he was also dissatisfied with Ling Haining’s recent behavior, so he ignored him when he saw Ling Haining return.

“Dad, where’s mom?”

“In her room, applying a facial mask.” Ling Zhengping still sounded a bit cross.

“Dad, there’s something I need to talk to you about,” after sitting down in front of Ling Zhengping, Ling Haining got straight to the point, “I just found out something important. Luo Ziling took Yang Qingye to confront Chen Jiahai, and they got into a big fight.”

After hearing what Ling Haining had to say, Ling Zhengping seemed very surprised.

“Really? They’ve started fighting among themselves?” Ling Zhengping chuckled, “Chen Jiahai actually backed down?”

Ling Haining immediately shared everything he knew as well.

Upon hearing Ling Haijun’s account, Ling Haining had people around him carefully gather more information, and soon they uncovered even more news.

There were even rumors that the Yang Family and the Chen Family were on the verge of tearing each other apart.

“Dad, I just find it a bit strange,” after recounting the events, Ling Haining expressed his doubts, “Isn’t it against common sense for such news to spread so quickly?”

“What’s so strange about that?” Ling Zhengping laughed again, “It’s definitely someone deliberately spreading the news.”

“Who would that be?”

“It’s either Luo Ziling or Ling Ruonan,” Ling Zhengping’s expression turned more serious, “They just want to stir up trouble between the Yang Family and the Chen Family. And maybe, in the end, they will drag our Ling Family into it as well.”

After hearing this, Ling Haining had a sudden realization and laughed along, “Poor Yang Qingye, used as a pawn by Luo Ziling, still thinks he’s struck a great deal. Ha, what a fool!”

“Yang Qingye isn’t stupid,” Ling Zhengping shook his head, “to gain such a large asset from nowhere, even if he knows Luo Ziling’s intentions, he wouldn’t refuse. Moreover, Yang Qingye might truly be willing to cooperate with Luo Ziling, hoping to see Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin together.”

“Dad, are you saying that Yang Qingye has become a staunch ally of Luo Ziling?”

“Not necessarily, but at least for now, it is certain that Yang Qingye is definitely helping Luo Ziling.”

Ling Haining asked again, “Dad, what should we do about this situation?”

“This matter doesn’t concern you, what do you want to do?” Ling Zhengping looked at Ling Haining as if he were an idiot, “Isn’t it good for you to just watch quietly?”

Ling Haining was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond to Ling Zhengping’s words.

In his understanding, under such circumstances, they definitely had to do something; otherwise, it would be too wasteful of an opportunity.

He had rushed home to find Ling Zhengping precisely to ask his father if they should take some action under the cover of night.

To his surprise, Ling Zhengping simply told him to watch, which made him feel very unwilling to accept such passivity.

Just as he was about to speak, Ling Zhengping coldly interjected, “The incident with the old man’s medicine containing croton seeds, was it you guys who did it?”

Hearing Ling Zhengping ask this, Ling Haining couldn’t help but shudder, but eventually, he shook his head, “It wasn’t me.”

“Then who was it?” Ling Zhengping’s expression became very serious, “Even if it wasn’t you who did it, you knew about this matter, right?”

Ling Haining suddenly didn’t know what to say and stood there dumbstruck.

Seeing Ling Haining’s reaction, how could Ling Zhengping not guess the truth of the matter? He immediately glared angrily at Ling Haining and sternly warned, “I will pretend I don’t know about this incident, but if there’s a next time, don’t blame me for being merciless even to my kin.”

Ling Haining was not used to his father being so severe with him, which scared him half to death.

“Dad, it really wasn’t me who did it. I didn’t participate in anything,” Ling Haining hurriedly explained, “It was Haijun and the others who were up to no good. They said they wanted to teach Luo Ziling a lesson, so they found a way to put something in the old man’s medicine. What exactly they put in, I don’t know.”

“You made many mistakes in this matter,” Ling Zhengping said, angrier upon hearing Ling Haining’s explanation, as if he wanted to rush forward and slap Ling Haining violently, “First, you knew about this matter. Under no circumstances should you disclose it to anyone else; otherwise, it will only cause you trouble. You told me, and now I am angry and disappointed in you.”

Ling Haining felt very wronged; he wanted to say that he really didn’t want to reveal anything but he was compelled by the pressure from his father and had no choice but to speak up. However, he didn’t dare to retort and could only lower his head in dejection and listen.

“Second, did you guys really think that by doing this you could frame Luo Ziling?” Ling Zhengping looked at Ling Haining with a sneer, “What a joke. Doesn’t the old man know that Luo Ziling would never do such a thing? After you guys visited him and he got diarrhea, even a fool could figure out what happened. You are just a bunch of clueless people with no brains.”

Ling Haining opened his mouth as if to explain, but he dared not speak and could only continue standing there with his head down.

“The old man didn’t blame Luo Ziling–doesn’t that tell you something? Luo Ziling dared to call me scum in front of my father and my grandfather. Where do you think his confidence comes from?” Ling Zhengping spoke vehemently, “Isn’t it because he knows the old man trusts him, needs him, and that’s why he dares to be so brazen? He saved the old man’s life, and he’s even helping to treat the poison my grandfather ingested. Now, under these circumstances, how could the two elders possibly disdain him?”

Although Ling Zhengping had been impulsive today, he had thought about everything carefully after returning home and realized many things amidst deep anxiety. He understood that he had acted foolishly today, hence he was reflecting on his behavior and had also thought of ways to remedy the situation.

“Dad, I realize my mistakes,” Ling Haining could only admit his wrongdoing without daring to make any excuses.

“And third, did you guys really think that you could harm Luo Ziling with such a tactic? Before doing it, didn’t you consider the consequences if it was exposed?”

“I know what the consequences would be,” Ling Haining finally gathered some courage to defend himself a little, “The old man would definitely have someone investigate the matter, and Haijun would be singled out, leaving no one to threaten my position.”
