The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 676: Chapter 676: Northern Group Headquarters

(Chapter 12)

It was unclear whether it was the relief of uncovering the truth or the joy of Luo Ziling being willing to back Ling Ruonan, but Wuyue rarely showed a smile when she saw Luo Ziling and even praised him, “Young master, you’re really efficient.”

“The people my father sent this time are quite capable, I almost underestimated them,” Luo Ziling said, feeling a bit smug even though he hadn’t been the one to handle the situation.

“What’s your next move?” Wuyue asked playfully looking at Luo Ziling, “They surely won’t admit it was their doing.”

“Using both pen and sword,” Luo Ziling said with an air of profundity, “If they won’t listen, I don’t mind giving them a beating, as that’s my strong suit. If they still won’t listen, I’ll drag them to meet the two old masters so they can judge for themselves.”

As soon as Wuyue heard that Luo Ziling was ready to fight, the smile on her face disappeared abruptly, revealing her shock.

...

She was unaware of the incident that had occurred at the Ling Family Old Mansion on Ling Jinhua’s birthday, when Luo Ziling had publicly beaten up a descendant of the Ling Family. She only knew that Luo Ziling had had a conflict with those people.

Ling Ruonan, no matter how much she trusted Wuyue, wouldn’t volunteer such information, and Wuyue wouldn’t pry into it, so she was unaware of the details. Hearing Luo Ziling mentioning the use of both pen and sword today caught her off guard.

She knew Luo Ziling was good at fighting, but it never crossed her mind that he would fight at the Northern Group headquarters.

If that were the case, the situation could get out of hand.

Therefore, Wuyue wanted to remind Luo Ziling not to act rashly.

But Luo Ziling seemed to read her mind and preemptively reassured her with a smile, “Wuyue sis, if they’re despicable enough to warrant my intervention, you just sit back and watch the show.”

Seeing Luo Ziling’s confident demeanor, Wuyue chose to hold her tongue.

The car drove directly into the underground parking lot and stopped next to Ling Ruonan’s private elevator.

When they reached the elevator, Wuyue inputted several digits, and the elevator doors opened.

“There’s a passcode for this elevator?” Luo Ziling found it odd, “Pretty upscale!”

“This is Miss’s private elevator. Other top company executives can’t use it unless they have the access code,” Wuyue hesitated for a moment after stepping into the elevator with Luo Ziling and then shared her own access code with him, quietly suggesting, “How about I apply for a passcode for you?”

“Whom should I apply to?” Luo Ziling asked Wuyue, clearly curious.

With them standing close to each other in the confined space of the elevator, and with Wuyue not as cold as before, Luo Ziling felt the girl was much more likable than she used to be.

“The application falls under my responsibilities, but to create a new access code for a person, we still have to follow the procedure,” Wuyue said with a smile to Luo Ziling, “I’ll decide after asking Miss later.”

“It’s okay if I don’t have one. If I come again next time, you can just take me in,” Luo Ziling said, appearing completely nonchalant, “Anyway, I’ll only come when you’re around.”

Wuyue didn’t say anything because the elevator doors had opened.

Wuyue resumed her usual demeanor, leading the way with a straight posture, while Luo Ziling followed her toward the office.

Ling Ruonan’s office exterior didn’t bear a sign; the space outside her office was vast, filled with an abundance of plants and trees that thrived in the good lighting, suggesting vitality and vigor. At the entrance of the office, several serious-looking men in black stood guard, albeit from a distance. Inside the open main door of the office, there were two desks with people working at them.

Luo Ziling was surprised to see that Li Jing, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, was actually sitting there, busy at work.

There was also another beautiful woman, who was also busy with her tasks.

When they saw Wuyue coming over, both stood up to greet him.

After greeting Wuyue, their surprised gazes fell on Luo Ziling following behind.

The visitor whom Wuyue came to escort must be no ordinary person, hence, they looked at Luo Ziling with great curiosity.

Luo Ziling was made up, and even Li Jing didn’t recognize him at first.

“Come in with me,” Wuyue said softly as he was afraid Luo Ziling would greet Li Jing, thereby giving him a gentle reminder.

Luo Ziling got the hint and didn’t greet Li Jing; he simply nodded to her slightly and followed Wuyue through the outer office.

Li Jing felt something when Luo Ziling nodded and smiled at her, and she became even more astounded.

But she was also very tactful and didn’t show any surprise; after Wuyue and Luo Ziling passed by, she sat down and resumed her work.

However, already guessing that the man was Luo Ziling, she was clearly somewhat distracted from her work.

She was a confidant of Ling Ruonan and was privy to many things. She was also aware of the internal emails accusing Ling Ruonan of transferring assets, so she was quite curious about Luo Ziling’s visit to the company that day.

Luo Ziling actually wanted to greet Li Jing and have a warm chat with her. Li Jing held a special place in his heart; her companionship during his time in Yanjing had brought him many wonderful feelings. It wasn’t romantic, but rather, Li Jing made him feel cared for, a maternal kind of care, which had made him quite attached to her. Today, seeing Li Jing again, he truly wanted to have a good talk with her. But he didn’t go against Wuyue’s reminder, knowing that now was not the time to reveal himself openly.

The large space outside Ling Ruonan’s office was where Li Jing and a few other secretaries and assistants worked; the next room was Wuyue’s office. Going further in from Wuyue’s office was where Ling Ruonan’s actual work area was. Only a few people at the headquarters of Northern Group ever got to see Ling Ruonan. Even if someone was fortunate enough to visit Ling Ruonan’s office, going through the several offices behind would surely leave them nervous.

When Luo Ziling entered the office, he was surprised to see Ling Haining sitting inside, discussing matters with Ling Ruonan.

Ling Haining was also one of Luo Ziling’s assistants, and he worked together with Li Jing and the others, as personally arranged by Ling Ruonan.

But because of Ling Haining’s special status, he could freely come and go from Ling Ruonan’s office.

As Luo Ziling entered, Ling Haining walked into Ling Ruonan’s office because he had some matters to attend to.

Seeing Wuyue bring in an unfamiliar man without even knocking, Ling Haining couldn’t help but frown.

He had to knock on the door every time he entered Ling Ruonan’s office; although the door was open now, knocking before entering was a necessary courtesy, wasn’t it?

But when he saw the man who entered take off his glasses and tidy up his hair, revealing his true identity, Ling Haining’s annoyance immediately dissipated, replaced only by surprise.

Luo Ziling had actually come to Ling Ruonan’s office, and Ling Haining couldn’t help but feel a sense of foreboding.
