The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2435 2435: Make Them Recant

Chen Yining felt that his misfortune began shortly after Luo Ziling came to Yanjing.

Due to the feud between the Chen Family and the Luo Family years ago, the Chen Family harbored even more hatred toward Luo Grandfather and Grandson than the Yang Family did.

Of course, the Chen Family’s attempts were not only aimed at killing but also at muddying the waters, blaming the Yang Family for the incidents, so both families would suffer. The plan of killing with a borrowed knife was proposed by Chen Yining, and when Chen Ruchang heard about it, he did not oppose it.

But no one expected that what seemed like a plan to hit multiple targets with one arrow would end up in chaos.

Luo Ziling was like an unkillable cockroach. Whether it was the Chen Family’s plans or other assassination attempts, none were successful. Not only did all the plans fail, but they also left them disgraced and dragged into the mire.

What is meant by capsizing in a sewer could almost describe what happened to the Chen Family.

Most of the previous actions were handled by Chen Yining. After several failed attempts, Chen Ruchang also got involved.

This time, many people were sent to the Northwest to hunt down Luo Ziling’s family, and it was approved by Chen Ruchang.

Without Chen Ruchang’s approval, the already unlucky Chen Yining would not have dared to undertake such actions.

This time, the Chen Family spent a fortune, even hiring a Professional Mercenary Legion, all in the hope of solving the problem once and for all.

They intended to kill Luo Ziling, Luo Liansheng, and Ling Ruonan.

If the plan succeeded, regardless of whether the Yang Family’s granddaughter or the Fang Family’s young master or young lady was hurt, the Chen Family could wash their hands of it.

But unexpectedly, the mission failed again.

Not only did it fail, but even people affiliated with the Chen Family were captured.

Chen Hang was Chen Yining’s trusted aide, holding a significant position in the Chen Family.

This task in the Northwest was overseen by him.

In recent years, Chen Hang had performed excellently, with many achievements.

This time, Chen Yining not only sent Chen Hang but also several other capable agents.

Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to complete the mission, but Chen Hang and another reliable agent were also captured.

The person named Huang Guoliang was also responsible for the security of the Chen Family and held a higher position than Chen Hang.

However, Huang Guoliang’s identity was extremely secretive, and hardly anyone knew of his existence.

Such a high-caliber person was captured by Luo Ziling’s people, leaving Chen Yining fuming with rage.

Upon receiving the news, he was livid with fury.

The matter could not be concealed and had to be truthfully reported to Chen Ruchang.

After hearing the news, Chen Ruchang, of course, was angry beyond measure.

Chen Yining was severely scolded, to the point where he almost began to doubt his life choices.

Soon after, Chen Yining received another report that the mercenaries they hired mysteriously disappeared during the operation. It’s obvious that Luo Ziling’s team had eliminated them all.

This huge setback nearly drove Chen Yining to the brink of collapse.

After reporting to Chen Ruchang, he was enraged to the point of almost having a stroke.

Worse still, the situation in Yanjing had also changed suddenly.

Especially after Luo Ziling posted on Weibo, the situation deteriorated rapidly.

Wang Zhengqiang was the first to speak, insisting on thoroughly investigating the matter and severely punishing any criminal involvement.

Then Ling Mingrui also publicly expressed a similar sentiment, stating that the issue was too targeted and must be thoroughly investigated. If anyone was found guilty, they would show no leniency.

Although Fang Xiang did not make any public statements, as the person in charge of public relations, his lack of action in the face of overwhelming public opinion on the internet was a statement in itself.

Chen Ruchang had previously ordered the relevant departments to suppress the issue and block Luo Ziling’s Weibo, but his order was not ultimately enforced.

Luo Ziling’s Weibo, after being briefly blocked, was quickly unblocked.

Subsequently, key departments also responded, stating they would intervene immediately and ensure the public receives an explanation.

All these developments placed immense pressure on Chen Ruchang.

Tonight, after learning that Chen Hang and several captured personnel were being transferred by the police and military of the Northwest Province back to Yanjing, he summoned Chen Yining and Chen Yijing to scold them again.

After being scolded by Chen Ruchang, Chen Yining and Chen Yijing did not dare to breathe too loudly.

They felt incredibly wronged, especially Chen Yijing.

He wasn’t involved in anything but still got scolded by his father today, which made him feel aggrieved.

He had always been dissatisfied with his brother Chen Yining, and now that Chen Yining had messed everything up, he felt their father should blame Chen Yining, not him. However, fearing Chen Ruchang’s wrath, he dared not voice his thoughts.

“Dad, how about I send people to get rid of Chen Hang and the others, so they can’t testify?” After being berated by Chen Ruchang, Chen Yining cautiously asked, “Otherwise, once they’re back in Yanjing, it will be even more detrimental to us.”

“Get rid of them? How will you do that?” Chen Yining’s anger flared even more, “They’re under police and military escort, and you dare to think of assassinating them? Are you tired of living?”

“Dad, maybe we should try to get the people in charge to help us!” Chen Yijing whispered, “The assassination has failed so many times; I think we shouldn’t attempt it again. Or, try to contact Chen Hang and Huang Guoliang, have them retract their statements, claiming they were coerced and are unreliable. If they take full responsibility and clear our family’s involvement, it would be manageable!”

Hearing Chen Yijing’s suggestion, Chen Ruchang nodded slightly.

Although the Chen Family was influential, when faced with the targeted actions of the other three families, they could not afford to act brazenly.

If they provided more leverage to others, they would become even more passive.

The suggestion from Chen Yijing was quite good—persuade Chen Hang and others to withdraw their statements and sever ties with the Chen Family, allowing them to take all the blame on themselves.

They could even counterattack, claiming it was a conspiracy by the Ling, Yang, or Fang Families, and that Chen Hang and others had been bribed earlier. Their current moves were just an attempt to frame the Chen Family, a conspiracy to ensnare the Chen Family.

“You handle this!” Chen Ruchang accepted Chen Yijing’s idea, “Assure them that if they recant, their families will be cared for forever.”

He then glared fiercely at Chen Yining: “You do nothing. Don’t even think about sending people to attack or using assassination to remove threats. Haven’t you considered how the public would perceive it if an assassination succeeded? Do you think you can escape suspicion of silencing witnesses?”

“Dad, I’ll do as you say!” Although disgruntled and feeling wronged, Chen Yining ultimately did not argue.
