The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 616: Chapter 616 Who is the Red Flower, Who is the Green Leaf

Thankfully, Ouyang Feifei solved this problem for Luo Ziling. Upon hearing that Wu Mingyun was planning to take him along, Ouyang Feifei took the initiative to contact Wu Mingyun, and arranged for him to ride in her car there as well.

Receiving an invitation from such a great beauty, Wu Mingyun felt somewhat flattered, and he ultimately agreed readily.

And so, Luo Ziling went to the conference site together with Wu Mingyun and one of his assistants, accompanied by Ouyang Feifei.

Luo Ziling and Wu Mingyun got into Ouyang Feifei’s luxurious Rolls-Royce, while Wu Mingyun’s assistant took another car.

Since they had met at a cocktail party last time, and with Wu Mingyun having spent many years in the system, he was very skilled at socializing. As soon as he got in the car, he enthusiastically started conversing with Ouyang Feifei.

However, Ouyang Feifei was not very enthusiastic towards him, mostly just responding to Wu Mingyun’s questions, her face devoid of smiles and looking quite indifferent. This made Wu Mingyun feel slightly awkward, but he knew that Ouyang Feifei had always been this way, otherwise she wouldn’t have become so famous, so he didn’t mind much.

Yanjing’s Number One Beauty, one of the Yanjing Beauties, a woman with such a glamorous reputation wouldn’t be so approachable if she were like the girl next door—that would be too unrealistic.

But to Wu Mingyun’s surprise, Ouyang Feifei was quite special towards Luo Ziling. Along the way, she actually took the initiative to ask Ziling if he was going to lecture that day, and if so, what he was planning to talk about. Earlier, when chatting with Ouyang Feifei, it was mostly him initiating the topics, but when Ouyang Feifei spoke with Luo Ziling, she was the one who actively inquired. He realized that there was something extraordinary about Luo Ziling’s relationship with Ouyang Feifei.

What that extraordinary thing was, he didn’t quite feel right prying into.

When they arrived at the hotel where the academic event was taking place, Luo Ziling and Wu Mingyun followed Ouyang Feifei into the lobby like two attendants.

Today, Ouyang Feifei was wearing a crisp professional suit, with a small lapel blazer and straight-leg trousers, a stand-collar white shirt, and her hair was neatly coiffed atop her head, radiating beauty and intellect, drawing everyone’s gaze to her.

Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei looked quite matching walking together. The slightly older Wu Mingyun felt he had made a mistake by walking alongside this golden boy and jade girl. By joining them, he lost status, becoming merely an accessory.

When Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei walked into the venue, all eyes turned towards them, and the room fell into an instant silence, no one speaking anymore. Everyone’s astonished gazes focused on them, and Luo Ziling felt a bit uneasy, but Ouyang Feifei showed no signs of discomfort, calmly finding a seat in the front row and settling down.

Unable to withstand her aura, those sitting nearby made excuses to stand up and move to other nearby seats.

In just a moment, the seats beside and behind Ouyang Feifei were empty.

After hesitating briefly, Luo Ziling still chose to sit by her side.

After sitting down, he smiled and said, “Miss Ouyang, as soon as you enter, you undoubtedly become the star of the show, and everyone else becomes part of your backdrop. The speakers might even be too distracted to focus. Should we move to the back instead?”

Ouyang Feifei glanced at Luo Ziling, her eyes holding a strange expression, but she didn’t accept his suggestion. After a faint smile, she shook her head, “No need, this spot is quite good.”

Seeing that Ouyang Feifei didn’t accept his suggestion, Luo Ziling gave up.

“Ah, sitting next to you, I can only be the inconspicuous greenery in the background,” he sighed helplessly.

“Today I’ll be your greenery, how about that?” Ouyang Feifei said, giving Luo Ziling a sidelong glance as she spoke.

At that moment, Wu Mingyun and Li Mingxun, who had been lagging a few steps behind, walked towards them as they entered the venue.

Luo Ziling quickly got up to greet them and invited the two medical authorities to sit down.

“Ziling, you didn’t prepare a speech or a PPT?” Li Mingxun asked Luo Ziling with some surprise. After receiving a clear answer, he said with a hint of astonishment, “You were told at the cocktail party the other day; I thought you would have prepared something. Today, we have arranged for you to speak on stage for half an hour, what is your plan?”

“Not foolish,” Ling Ruonan shook her head, “this should be the smartest decision.”

“That’s good, I was afraid you would blame me for not taking the opportunity to make requests to Great Grandfather.” Luo Ziling said, then laughed again, “Yesterday, after beating up the descendants of the Ling Family, today Great Grandfather still treats me as an honored guest. Those who were beaten by me, if they knew about this, would probably be so angered they’d vomit blood.”

“Indeed,” Ling Ruonan nodded her head, and then immediately added with a somber reminder, “This is also the key to the problem. Therefore, I believe there are deeper things we haven’t considered—things we haven’t considered are the crux of the matter. I always feel that things are not simple, and your rash actions yesterday wouldn’t easily be forgiven by those two old people. Maybe one day their thoughts will change, and that may be a deadly threat to us. It’s possible they are just using us as cannon fodder. Alas, even I can’t make sense of it anymore, it gives me a headache.”

“Mom, it seems that we are just pawns in their hands, and pawns that can be sacrificed at any time,” Luo Ziling said with a wry smile on his face, “The adage ‘No affection in royalty’ couldn’t be more true.”

“Ling’er, don’t lose heart. Although all of this could be a trap, it could also be an opportunity, a chance for our family to be united, a chance for us to gain more benefits. You want the Luo Family to become a mighty household, right? Then let’s make good use of this opportunity. They use us, we use them; we all get what we need. As long as we are the ‘cockroaches’ that can’t be killed, in the end, we will surely be the ones to profit.”

Upon hearing Ling Ruonan put it that way, Luo Ziling suddenly had an epiphany, “Mom, I understand what you mean. Let’s work hard together; I believe we will have the last laugh.”

“Hmm,” Ling Ruonan nodded earnestly, then said, “From now on, we mustn’t give up any opportunities, striving to have enough strength to resist before we fall out with them.”

Luo Ziling nodded earnestly too.

Then, he gave Ling Ruonan a good massage, and only after she had peacefully fallen asleep did he leave her villa.

Still not asking Wuyue for a ride, Luo Ziling stealthily left the neighborhood. Only after circling the nearby area twice to make sure he wasn’t being followed did he head in the direction of the school.

An issue that had seemed monumental was thus “resolved” in a theatrical manner; Luo Ziling, although finding it a bit absurd, felt his mood much lighter.

Feeling relaxed, his steps became more light-hearted as he headed back to school.

He planned to discuss the matter with Yang Qingyin, so after leaving the neighborhood, he sent her a message, saying he wanted to treat her to a late-night snack.

Yang Qingyin replied back quickly, agreeing to his request and asking if he had good news. Luo Ziling simply answered that they’d talk when they met.

The two agreed to meet at a teahouse near the school.

With three kilometers to the school and only half an hour left, Luo Ziling quickened his pace.

But as he reached a secluded place, suddenly, a sense of danger appeared without any warning.

This alarmed Luo Ziling, who immediately heightened his vigilance.

The instinctive sense of danger had been honed from harsh training with his grandfather since he was young.

Fearing accidents when he grew up, his grandfather had been very strict with his training from a young age.

During training, they often attacked him while disguised as the enemy, the aim being to hone his reaction ability to danger.

By the end, whenever there were strong opponents around or a murderous aura appeared, he could sense the danger, his body’s instinctive response to danger had been trained just like that.

On the day he was ambushed by gunmen, and the previous few times he’d encountered trouble, he’d had a premonition.

Even that time when he was walking down the street, intimately nestled with Yang Qingyin under an umbrella enjoying the romance, once the attackers appeared, he reacted immediately; otherwise, his injuries would have been more than just a few scrapes.

After being shot at while with Ling Ruonan last time, his sensitivity to danger had increased even further.

Today, when he was on his way to the old house, he wore the bulletproof vest given to him by Lin Lan, but a bulletproof vest can only protect parts of the body, not provide full coverage. Fearing another sniper or gunman attack, as soon as he sensed danger, he immediately darted into the darkness, using the buildings and trees as cover, preparing to escape.

As he darted away to take cover, he cursed incessantly in his heart at those who took cold shots at him from behind; these people were despicable, robbing him of any peace in his life.

If he found out who they were, he would definitely teach them a fierce lesson, making them wish they could neither live nor die.

Just as Luo Ziling darted away and slipped into a nearby small park, planning to use the darkness as cover to escape, two tall figures in black silently followed him into the park.

Although there are streetlights in the small park by the roadside, they are not very bright; the abundance of trees and bushes adds to the gloomy atmosphere. In the summer, many people stroll here at night, but now it’s deep autumn and the evenings are quite chilly, leaving the small park almost devoid of people. The dim lights barely reveal the faint outlines of the two figures in black, compounding the chill in the eerily quiet park.

However, many still hoped to get close to Ouyang Feifei and Luo Ziling, perhaps it could change their lives?

They had the technical expertise and many aspired to climb higher, seeking greater income and status. A person like Ouyang Feifei could offer them these opportunities, so many were keen to get acquainted. @@novelbin@@

Nobody expected, though, that today Ouyang Feifei would only be an observer and would not take a stand on anything. The one to stun the crowd turned out to be Luo Ziling, whom they had underestimated.
