The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2421

When Luo Ziling quietly returned to his room, he was surprised to see that Ling Ruonan and Yang Qingyin were still awake.

Several people were sitting in the room watching TV.

The satellite receiver wasn’t broken, and the TV could still be used. In this closed little mountain village, they could watch many TV programs.

Seeing Luo Ziling return, the women, who had been waiting almost to the point of exhaustion, stood up in surprise to greet him.

“Why did you come back so late?” Ling Ruonan asked with a face full of reproach, “Did you encounter any danger?”

“How could there be danger?” Luo Ziling shook his head, “We just ran a bit farther and hunted quite a lot of game. The mountain road is hard to navigate at night, which took us quite some time. Why aren’t you all asleep? I told you we wouldn’t have any problems, so no need to worry.”

“We’re just worried about your safety, aren’t we?” Luo Yuqing yawned long and hard, then promptly covered it with her hand, before saying wearily, “I’m going to bed; I really can’t hold on any longer.”

Ouyang Feifei wanted to say something, but in the end, just glanced at Luo Ziling a couple of times, said she was going to bed too, and then she and Luo Yuqing retreated into their tent.

“You must be tired from running so many mountain roads, hurry up and get some rest!” Yang Qingyin frowned as she helped Luo Ziling tidy up his clothes, then complained slightly, “Look, your clothes are torn, and you say there’s no danger. Are you hurt?”

“No, no, you too hurry up and sleep, don’t stay up until you become a hag. We can talk about anything after we’ve slept well. I tell you, we hunted quite a bit of game, so once you’re awake, you can taste some delicious food you haven’t tried before. By then, I’ll personally grill yellow sheep for you all, and it will definitely taste great!” As Luo Ziling spoke, he reached out and touched Yang Qingyin’s cheek.

Yang Qingyin blushed and quickly dodged.

After saying a word to Ling Ruonan, she then went into her tent to sleep.

Ling Ruonan didn’t ask Luo Ziling much, just took his hand and led him into the house.

“Time to sleep, you’ll be sleeping in your room with Mom tonight!” Ling Ruonan reached out to gently stroke Luo Ziling’s face, then said gently, “Go wash up first; I’ll go to sleep now!”

Luo Ziling agreed and then went to wash up.

By the time he came back from freshening up, Ling Ruonan had already removed her outer clothes and was lying down.

Luo Ziling didn’t hold back either, took off his outer clothes, and lay down in bed.

Once mother and son lay facing each other, they didn’t say much, just exchanged goodnight wishes and then closed their eyes.

Luo Ziling was really tired, and after lying down for a while, he drifted into sleep.

Ling Ruonan was also sleepy; she lasted slightly longer than Luo Ziling but ultimately succumbed to the tiredness and peacefully fell asleep.

About three or four hours later, Luo Ziling awoke from his sleep.

When he woke up, Ling Ruonan was still sound asleep.

He didn’t disturb Ling Ruonan and continued to lie still.

He thought back to when he was little, always yearning for his mother to sleep beside him, a wish unfulfilled even by the age of twenty.

Unexpectedly, now that he was taller than his mother, he finally had the chance to sleep next to her.

Although the now-grown-up him found it slightly awkward to sleep next to Ling Ruonan,

the filling of the childhood longing made him very happy.

He didn’t lie there for much longer, as he remembered Lin Lan, who arranged her own sleeping spot here with him, he decided to get up.

As he moved, he inadvertently woke Ling Ruonan.

Seeing Luo Ziling ready to get up, Ling Ruonan immediately asked what time it was.

Upon learning it was already ten in the morning, Ling Ruonan quickly got up too.

“No need to worry, Ma, there’s not much going on outside, I bet the others are still asleep!” Luo Ziling reassured Ling Ruonan, “Why don’t we lie down a bit longer and talk about some things?”

Ling Ruonan thought for a moment and then agreed.

Once they lay facing each other again, Luo Ziling recounted the events of last night.

Last night when Luo Ziling and the others returned, Ling Ruonan didn’t see Lin Lan and her comrades.

Listening to Luo Ziling speak about fighting alongside Dragon Rise people last night, Ling Ruonan seemed quite surprised.

However, she didn’t interrupt, just listened quietly.

Upon hearing Luo Ziling mention instructing Lin Lan to include statements unfavorable to the Chen Family within the Russian spy’s confession, Ling Ruonan finally shared her opinion.

“Just don’t overdo it,” Ling Ruonan whispered, “whether such statements are included is not important; many people wouldn’t believe them even if they were. People like Chen Ruchang wouldn’t likely or need to collude with foreign spies.”

“But other members of the Chen Family might!” Luo Ziling clarified and then added, “How about we just express suspicion about this? The simultaneous presence of Russian spies and individuals hired by the Chen Family across the Tianshan area gives us every reason to suspect collaboration between them, doesn’t it?”

“That’s acceptable!” Ling Ruonan thought for a moment and gently nodded, then immediately reprimanded Luo Ziling for being too reckless, saying: “Didn’t you ever think of what we’d do if anything unexpected happened?”

“Ma, I acted only when absolutely sure of our position,” Luo Ziling chuckled, “With so many snipers covering us, why would we fear them?”

“Anything can have surprises,” Ling Ruonan chose not to continue disputing with Luo Ziling, “Alright, the matter is over anyway, just don’t take such risks in the future. Get up now and let’s not let others laugh at us.”

“Sure!” Luo Ziling said as he sat up on the bed and then smilingly told Ling Ruonan, “Ma, last time when Lin Lan was injured, she laid here for a week.”

“Did she come here intentionally again, or was the task unfinished?”

“A bit of both!”

“Don’t do anything that leaves room for gossip,” Ling Ruonan once again reminded Luo Ziling, “Regarding participating in actions, don’t report it to them; just keep it among yourselves, don’t inform even your dad, at most, talk about it privately. Also, don’t let others know about them coming here.”

“I understand, I will give out orders and remind them again!” Luo Ziling nodded in agreement.

Ling Ruonan thought for a while and once again reminded Luo Ziling: “When you post on Weibo later, do think thoroughly and avoid impulsive action. Some matters, when blown out of proportion, aren’t beneficial to us.”

“Ma, did you receive a report from Yanjing?” Luo Ziling was slightly surprised.

“You have many followers on Weibo; the things you posted last night have already become widely known. Although this pressures the Chen Family, it also clarifies the conflict between us. It’s definitely not good to tear each other down completely. To kill a thousand enemies also injures us eight hundred.”

“Ma, I’ll be careful in the future!” Luo Ziling smiled, “Regarding this matter, let’s let it naturally progress!”

“What else can we do?”
