The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2365 2365: A Face-to-Face Warning

Not only did Fang Dongming feel very angry after seeing the Weibo post, but Lin Zhengdong also felt similarly.

Fang Dongming quickly learned that he had been punished by his elders at home, forced to kneel and admit his mistakes.

After that, Fang Dongming stopped contacting him, only leaving him a message saying he had to reflect in isolation as per his family’s elders’ orders for some time. Fang Dongming’s retreat frustrated and angered Lin Zhengdong but he was helpless to change it.

Although Lin Zhengdong had never interacted with Luo Ziling, he understood him well and had been following his Weibo closely.

He saw the Weibo post Luo Ziling made today immediately.

He understood the implications of the post and was consequently very angry.

The Fang Family refused to support the Lin Family—Lin Zhengdong clearly felt this from the photo.

Ling Ruonan willingly dining at a noodle shop, taking photos with Fang Zhonghua, and letting Luo Ziling post them on Weibo for the world to see—if he couldn’t see through this, Lin Zhengdong might indeed need a boost in intelligence.

He immediately informed his father Lin Zeping of the situation.

Though Lin Zeping didn’t live with Lin Zhengdong, both worked in Yanjing, so they had many opportunities to meet.

Tonight, Lin Zhengdong happened to have dinner at Lin Zeping’s place.

After dinner, while leaving Lin Zeping’s residence, Lin Zhengdong saw the Weibo post.

Upon seeing the post, he immediately ordered the driver to turn around and go back.

Lin Zeping was quite surprised to see Lin Zhengdong returning.

Lin Zhengdong showed Lin Zeping the photo and Luo Ziling’s Weibo post.

After viewing them, Lin Zeping frowned slightly and let out a gentle sigh: “It seems they still have quite a grudge against me.”

Lin Zeping was naturally more intelligent and experienced than Lin Zhengdong.

What Lin Zhengdong could decipher, he undoubtedly understood.

What Lin Zhengdong couldn’t see, he perceived.

Luo Ziling posted this on Weibo not only to let everyone know the close relationship between the Luo and Fang families remained unaffected by any incident but also to show that the Fang Family disapproved of the private interactions between Fang Dongming and Lin Zhengdong. More importantly, Luo Ziling intended to demonstrate that in this matter, the Luo Family holds the dominant position, while the Fang Family is passive.

Another point that Lin Zeping sensed was that Luo Ziling was challenging the Lin Family. Luo Ziling mingled with Wang Zhengqiang’s daughter and now expressed issues in such a manner; Lin Zeping felt the implications even more.

“You must be wary of possible retaliation from Luo Ziling, as this guy has a knack for handling things, causing trouble for many already.” Lin Zeping solemnly warned Lin Zhengdong, “During this time, restrain yourself; don’t act recklessly, understand?”

Though Lin Zhengdong was inwardly unsatisfied, he nodded nonetheless.

Lin Zeping continued: “This guy really is a wonder, so young and yet growing up in a small village in the Northwest, how could he possess so much strategy and tactics?”

“Could all this be Ling Ruonan’s idea?”

“Impossible!” Lin Zeping shook his head, “There are many things Ling Ruonan couldn’t have conceived.”

“Dad, we should find an opportunity to eliminate this person, or they will become a powerful enemy!”

“Eliminate? Is it so easy?” Lin Zeping chuckled, “If it were that easy, we wouldn’t be facing such issues now.”

At this point, Lin Zeping’s smile turned a bit bitter.

The Fang Family refuses to show goodwill, and the Ling Family is not inclined either; the Yang Family seems to be observing. Only the already faltering Chen Family is willing to support him. If the Fang, Yang, and Ling families back Wang Zhengqiang, Wang Zhengqiang might likely replace him.

Although such replacement rarely happens for the second-ranking individual to take over the top position, it is not impossible.

No system prohibits such a scenario.

Moreover, considering Wang Zhengqiang is younger, there’s no reason he couldn’t replace Lin Zeping.

This struggle is inherently complex and may even be swayed by a minor incident.

Understanding these, Lin Zeping felt deeper concern.

He couldn’t express his worries to Lin Zhengdong directly; he could only advise him to exercise caution and avoid rash actions.

Though Lin Zhengdong felt discontent, he dared not openly defy Lin Zeping’s intentions.

After Lin Zhengdong left, Lin Zeping summoned his secretary.

He instructed the secretary to contact Chen Ruchang’s secretary and find out about Chen Ruchang’s current situation.

He also told the secretary to inform Chen Ruchang that he would visit the hospital to see him the next day.

While Lin Zeping and Lin Zhengdong were discussing matters, coincidentally, Ling Mingrui was also talking to his son Ling Zhengping.

Of course, they were not discussing the Weibo post by Luo Ziling today.

The father and son pair were talking about the incidents from a while ago.

Luo Ziling had some people arrested at Hengdian and sent them to Yanjing; that person accused Ling Zhengping of orchestrating some matters, putting him in a difficult position.

He couldn’t even prove to his father that he wasn’t involved in the incident.

As the person insisted it was under his directive.

Ling Mingrui naturally didn’t believe Luo Ziling was responsible, but he seized the opportunity to sternly lecture Ling Zhengping.

He advised Ling Zhengping that Ling Ruonan was willing to coexist peacefully with the family, so he should avoid stirring up trouble.

He told Ling Zhengping that with Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan’s support, the Ling Family would gain more benefits.

Ling Zhengping certainly didn’t dare contradict his father because he felt his grandfather’s attitude towards him had also changed; hence he could only agree.

While the father and son chatted, Xie Enhua knocked and entered.

Being interrupted by his wife while lecturing his son, Ling Mingrui felt a bit dissatisfied.

However, he also knew Xie Enhua wouldn’t intrude without reason, so he didn’t express his discontent.

“Ziling posted a Weibo; I think it’s very profound. You two should take a look!” Xie Enhua said as she placed a smartphone in front of Ling Mingrui and Ling Zhengping. Leaving the phone there, she said nothing more before turning and walking out.

Ling Mingrui picked up the phone, frowned slightly, and started looking.

After reading it, his frown gradually relaxed.

After reading the Weibo post, he passed the phone to Ling Zhengping.

Ling Zhengping’s expression subtly changed upon reading it, but he remained silent.

“They’re very clever, not just Fang Zhonghua, your sister, but even your nephew. Using ordinary things to reflect deeper meanings, do you think such abilities at a young age are mundane?” Ling Mingrui said calmly: “Why don’t you consider why other people’s children are so exceptional? Plus, if their children are excellent, learn from them instead of being unwilling to see them excel. After all, he’s your close nephew.”

Ling Mingrui’s words made Ling Zhengping’s heart skip a beat.
