The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2408 2408: Is This Possible?

Knowing that Luo Ziling had things to do, Yang Qingyin didn’t cling to him but returned indoors after accompanying him for a stroll.

Once inside, Luo Ziling called Fang Dongxun out, saying he wanted to gather some medicines beneficial for health and didn’t want other women to follow. Fang Dongxun understood Luo Ziling’s intent and cheerfully accompanied him out of the house.

The two did not head to the back hills but instead passed through the village and small bridge, walking in the direction where Lin Lan had previously collapsed injured.

It was already seven in the evening. Around this time, it would be almost dark in Yanjing, but in the Northwest, the sky was still bright, with the sun hanging high.

There was wind on the grassland; though the sun was quite fierce, it didn’t feel hot.

“There won’t be any assassins here, right?” Fang Dongxun joked before looking around again, marveling at the beautiful scenery, “The scenery here is truly beautiful. I used to feel that your life here with your grandfather for twenty years was quite austere, making one feel sympathetic. But now, I feel there should be no sympathy, rather envy. Growing up in such a place is truly a blessing earned across generations. Living here could probably add ten years to life.”

“I also feel this place is nice, but after going to Yanjing and the South, life here seems too simple, too isolated. No entertainment activities, no friends to hang out with. You can hardly imagine how boring it gets when winter comes and snow seals the mountains, staying indoors every day without being able to go out for several months!” Luo Ziling said with a bitter smile, “Several months indeed!”

“True!” Fang Dongxun nodded, “During snow-sealed days, staying here continuously, even though the scenery is beautiful outside, the aesthetic fatigue would make it dull. It’s almost like being in prison!”

“Exactly!” Luo Ziling nodded, “Though I’ve never been in prison, having nowhere else to go outside of home, it’s surely similar.”

“Life in prison must be tough, but there are always people who need to go to prison.” Fang Dongxun changed the topic, “Indeed, many people deserve imprisonment.”

“We have captured several people, one of them has a rather special identity.” Luo Ziling directly changed the topic.

“Who is it?” Fang Dongxun asked with curiosity.

“Chen Hang! It’s said this person is a collateral member of the Chen Family, responsible for the family’s security.”

“I think I’ve heard of him.” Fang Dongxun suddenly became interested, “It seems he has always been in charge of Chen Yining’s safety. Does it mean that these incidents were orchestrated by Chen Yining?”

“I don’t know.” Luo Ziling shook his head, “Perhaps only by interrogating Chen Yining can we find out the specifics.”

“Where did you capture Chen Hang?” Fang Dongxun was quite curious.

Luo Ziling chuckled, “Near the town we stayed at this morning. While patrolling the hills today, I captured one of Chen Hang’s subordinates; he revealed Chen Hang’s whereabouts and contact information, so we took action and happened to catch him.”

“Are there any others?”

“Others are just small fry; Chen Hang is the most important figure.”

“What do you plan to do?” Fang Dongxun was quite curious.

“I want to tell my grandfather about this, asking him to help seek justice from the Chen Family. Qingyin just said she’d inform her grandfather, she’s furious that the Chen Family dared to be so bold, deciding to take action against so many of us.” Luo Ziling said with a bitter smile, “We didn’t know before who was behind it, but now it seems all previous incidents were also orchestrated by the Chen Family.”

Fang Dongxun heard the undertone in Luo Ziling’s words and immediately nodded, “The Chen Family is really ruthless, scheming against you time and again; this time, even with so many of us together, they dare take action. Chasing us to the Northwest to kill us, that’s quite a bold move, isn’t it? Haha, I’d like to see how the Chen Family explains this once the matter becomes public. Later, I’d like to borrow your satellite phone, I need to inform my father and grandfather, warning the Chen Family to not get carried away.”

“They should indeed be reminded not to disturb our leisure.” Luo Ziling said flatly, “Chen Hang confessed that the Chen Family, sparing no expense, hired professional mercenaries, intending to eliminate all of us at the border. They treat us as if we were targets to be hunted at will; it’s too much.”

“Mercenaries?” Fang Dongxun was shocked. “I never imagined the Chen Family would be so vicious.”

At this moment, Wuyue appeared before them, rushing over to report the situation to Luo Ziling.

Under their special interrogation methods, Chen Hang had to disclose some information.

The plan to assassinate Luo Ziling and others in the Northwest was indeed arranged by Chen Yining.

Moreover, it wasn’t only Chen Yining’s idea; Chen Ruchang was also aware.

Before departure, Chen Hang had gone to see Chen Ruchang with Chen Yining.

And indeed, the Chen Family had hired professional mercenaries.

However, the mercenaries they hired did not act in concert with them.

Where these mercenaries are now and when they’ll act, Chen Hang didn’t know.

Though they arranged contact, those people hadn’t contacted them yet.

After hearing Wuyue’s concise report, Fang Dongxun’s face changed again, “These people deserve death!”

“Is there video and audio of the confession?” Luo Ziling asked Wuyue.

“Yes!”

“Give a copy to Mr. Fang, and another to Qingyin.”

“Alright!” After agreeing, Wuyue quickly left.

“Why is the Chen Family doing this?” Fang Dongxun asked Luo Ziling with a puzzled expression, “Why are they so persistent in targeting you?”

“Maybe they think Chen Jiahai died because of me.” Luo Ziling smiled lightly, “So they won’t quit. It’s just that I am lucky; they can’t succeed. But now this situation is completely different. With so many of us here, they dared to take action, revealing their hostility openly. I can’t figure out why they are doing this.”

While asking this, Luo Ziling suddenly had a thought.

Could it be that Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping were involved?

If they were involved, provoking or using other methods to make the Chen Family act recklessly against them, perhaps their goal was to cause a complete rift between the Chen Family and the other families—such a possibility really can’t be completely ruled out.

The Chen Family, being a large clan, its members holding high positions, continually making irrational moves, especially this time, with so many people, the descendants of other three families all present, yet they dared act, hiring professional mercenaries to go to the Northwest to carry out their plan—it’s indeed hard to understand.

Just smashing the pot in desperation seems a bit far-fetched too, as the Chen Family hasn’t declined to such a point.

Doing this out of foolishness, having lost all reason likewise seems unreasonable.

Thinking about these, Luo Ziling further believed in his conjecture.

It really might be Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping causing destruction behind the scenes.
