The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2394 2394: The First Round, We Hold the Advantage for Now

Luo Ziling realized things weren’t looking good and quickly changed the topic, “Well, I didn’t know that thing was so valuable. I only thought it looked nice, so I picked it up. When Feifei came to us as a child to get Grandpa’s help with treatment, she brought me lots of fun and delicious things, so I gave her that pretty thing.”

“Haha, Feifei has kept the gift you gave her for, what, over ten years?” Luo Yuqing looked at Luo Ziling with a mischievous smile, “She must have considered your gift very important!”

“When I was a child and played alone, having someone to play with made me very happy. Besides, she gave me so many things, and I didn’t have much to give in return, so I thought this jade was beautiful and gave it to her as a return gift.” Luo Ziling quickly explained to prevent Yang Qingyin from getting jealous, “Besides, we were just little kids back then and didn’t understand anything.”

“I didn’t have many people to play with when I was young, and I didn’t interact much with the outside world. The scenery in the Northwest was very nice, and thinking back, it was like a paradise. Having you to play with, take me mountain climbing, hunting, and barbecuing made me incredibly happy!” Ouyang Feifei said with a full smile, “That short time is one of the most memorable periods of my life, really carefree, as if living in a utopia.”

“Hehe, by evening tomorrow or the morning after at the latest, we can go see the utopia where my grandfather and I lived for twenty years.” Not wanting to hear more of Ouyang Feifei’s sentimental talk, Luo Ziling quickly changed the topic, “Alright, since we’re all here in the Northwest, let’s check out the big city and taste some local flavors. Speaking of which, even though I’ve lived here for so many years, I seldom visited Wushi.”

Ouyang Feifei talked about these things on purpose.

This woman has a lot on her mind!

Fang Dongxun also quickly suggested they find a place to have fun, so no one brought up the topic again.

Ling Ruonan was linking arms with Luo Ziling, walking at the back of the group.

As they walked, she whispered to Luo Ziling, “Ling’er, thinking about coming to the place where you grew up kept me awake last night. I didn’t expect not to see it today. Looks like tonight I won’t sleep well again. Mom really doesn’t know what it will feel like stepping into the place you and your grandfather lived.”

“Mom, if we get there tomorrow night, you can sleep in my bed then you’ll fully experience how I used to live.”

“Will you sleep with mom tomorrow night? When you were little, mom should have been the one sleeping with you every day, but I missed out on most of your life over these past twenty years.”

“Okay!” Luo Ziling agreed readily.

After the group toured a few famous spots in Wushi, they returned to the train station to wait for their train.

The others were also quite punctual, all returning to the station at the appointed time.

After counting heads and confirming no one was missing, Luo Ziling was relieved.

At the station, he reiterated the rules.

Luo Ziling told everyone that since they had chosen to stay and continue the journey, they must follow his arrangements and refrain from acting independently.

Luo Ziling didn’t say that someone might be targeting them, only mentioning the complex situation in the area, with frequent crimes, and the inability to respond if something happened while alone. Others wanting to help would also find it difficult.

After going over the rules, Wuyue quietly approached Luo Ziling.

She informed Luo Ziling that her subordinates had identified some suspicious individuals trying to approach them.

Upon hearing Wuyue’s report, Luo Ziling immediately instructed her to be prepared for a counterattack at any moment.

“Young Master, they won’t dare to act at the station. Public places in Wushi have very stringent security measures. If there’s any commotion, special police and soldiers will act. I think if they are going to act, it will be on the road,” Wuyue shared her speculation and tonight’s plan, “I’ll have them sleep in shifts, and we won’t allow unrelated people near our carriage.”

The whole team consisted of about forty people, not counting those who went ahead or were secretly protecting them.

When booking tickets, everyone was arranged in the same few carriages.

The train they were taking only had one soft sleeper carriage, which Luo Ziling’s group completely booked. However, one soft sleeper carriage wasn’t enough for everyone, so the additional personnel were placed in the adjacent hard sleeper carriages.

Wuyue planned to let the security personnel take turns keeping watch in three shifts, sleeping in rotation, to prevent unexpected situations.

One thing Wuyue could be certain of was that, no matter how bold they were, the adversaries wouldn’t dare create a public incident, such as attacking the train or causing a derailment or similar accidents. She felt the most dangerous time would be after getting off the train, during the journey by car or on foot.

Therefore, she suggested to Luo Ziling that after reaching the small town, they take a break, allowing the accompanying personnel and those who went ahead to ensure the route’s safety and establish vigilant measures before others proceed.

After contemplating, Luo Ziling ultimately agreed with Wuyue’s suggestion, “Anyway, once there, we certainly need to eat before continuing. Beyond that, there’s only one small town with little available, so essential items must be purchased there.”

After saying these words, Luo Ziling shared another idea, “If we detect anything unusual, we can proactively strike to deter them, making them hesitant to act rashly. Besides, if something happens, we have people to clean up the mess. In Wushi, there are plenty of people to cover for us. In remote areas, timely help might not be available.”

“I understand!” Wuyue nodded and quickly went to make arrangements.

Soon, Wuyue’s subordinates began to take action.

In the waiting room, they got into a confrontation with two other people, leading to a scuffle.

Wuyue’s people fought fiercely, taking the fight seriously.

The on-duty military police responded quickly, immediately surrounding them.

As the situation escalated, Xiaoli, who had been protecting Yang Qingyin, promptly made a call for help.

While the people involved in the brawl were being detained by the military police, Xiaoli’s call for backup reached the officers in charge of security in Wushi.

Soon, the official responsible for Wushi’s security arrived.

After personally inquiring Yang Qingyin and Xiaoli about the situation, he instructed his subordinates to detain the involved parties on suspicion of being terrorists.

After a brief inquiry, Wuyue’s men were cleared of suspicion and released.

The other two individuals, however, were detained by the police.

Found on them were items not permitted to be carried, including weapons.

Among Wuyue’s people, a few were armed, but they had legal gun permits and special department credentials, so the military police did not trouble them.

“In the first round, we’re temporarily ahead!” Luo Ziling said with a smile to Ling Ruonan as they prepared to board.

Ling Ruonan just lightly nodded without much expression.
