Chapter 1826: It’s Actually Those Two
Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin strolled leisurely on Yuhuang Mountain for two hours.
As the sky began to darken, they decided to head down the mountain.
Halfway down, Luo Ziling received a call from Yang Xiaodong.
"Are you in Hangzhou?" Luo Ziling instinctively asked after picking up Yang Xiaodong's call.
But he was immediately shocked by what Yang Xiaodong said.
"Is that so? I'll come over right away," Luo Ziling said after hanging up, smiling at Yang Qingyin, "We guessed right, someone is indeed taking advantage of the chaos."
"What happened?" Yang Qingyin asked, looking surprised.
"Let's go, we're going to watch a good show," Luo Ziling patted Yang Qingyin's shoulder and said mysteriously, "Don't ask too much for now, you'll definitely be entertained."
"So annoying, keeping me in suspense," Yang Qingyin pinched Luo Ziling playfully, "Fine, I won't ask anymore. I'll go with you to watch the show! I know you're trying to surprise me with your mystery!"
"It's not necessarily a surprise; it might be a shock," Luo Ziling chuckled, "Actually, I don't know the details either. Yang Xiaodong came to Hangzhou, and he discovered two people who shouldn't have been in Qiantang are surprisingly staying by West Lake. They were plotting something against us. Since they're so 'enthusiastic' about us, let's go over and take a look. After watching the show, we might get really hungry."
"Getting really hungry and eating a lot, won't that make us gain weight?"
"Gaining a little weight is good," Luo Ziling nodded seriously, glancing at Yang Qingyin's chest and jokingly said, "The feel will be better!"
Yang Qingyin was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant, and her face turned red instantly.
She pinched Luo Ziling, kicked him, and angrily said, "You're so improper, becoming a big pervert."
"You misunderstood, I was just saying that if you gain a little weight, your skin will be smoother and more tender, so the feel will be better. Who knew you'd think it meant your chest would also grow. Let me clarify, I never said the feel of touching there would be better!"
Yang Qingyin's face turned even redder, and she disregarded everything to charge at Luo Ziling, punching and kicking him.
"You pervert, always teasing me. I'll beat you to death!"
Just then, some tourists passing by saw Yang Qingyin "bullying" Luo Ziling and calling him a pervert, and immediately felt righteous indignation, wanting to teach Luo Ziling a lesson.
"We're just joking around, I'm teasing my girlfriend to make her laugh," seeing a few men rushing over fiercely, Luo Ziling quickly explained, "We're just playing!"
Yang Qingyin also hurriedly stopped, awkwardly linked arms with Luo Ziling, and explained the situation to the strangers.
Realizing the two were indeed a couple and just play-fighting, the people left.
"Look, I almost got beaten into a pulp," Luo Ziling complained to Yang Qingyin, feeling displeased, "In the future, don't be rude to me in public."
"Hmph, who told you to be so annoying," Yang Qingyin pinched Luo Ziling again, equally dissatisfied, "If you behaved, would I say you're a pervert?"
"If they recognize me and think I'm being a pervert to a woman, my reputation would be ruined," Luo Ziling said, leaning close to Yang Qingyin and joking wickedly, "Actually, I wasn't being perverted with you, you see, some things can be stopped halfway."
Knowing Yang Qingyin would surely explode after hearing this, Luo Ziling quickly escaped.
After realizing what was going on, Yang Qingyin indeed got furious and wanted to settle scores with Luo Ziling.
The two continued their playful banter down the mountain and finally hailed a cab to meet up with Yang Xiaodong and the others.
Along the way, Yang Qingyin surprisingly didn't ask what was going on.
During the peak tourist season, the traffic around West Lake was still quite congested, taking them nearly an hour to reach the place where Yang Xiaodong and the others were staying. It was located in a somewhat remote private residence north of Xixi Wetland.
Under the cover of Ye Xiaoli and others, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin ensured no one was tailing them before entering the residence.
Seeing Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin arrive, Yang Xiaodong quickly came over to greet them.
After whispering a few words to Luo Ziling, he quietly instructed Yang Qingyin, "Senior, why don't you have something to eat outside? We've been walking so long, you must be hungry."
"Alright," Yang Qingyin rolled her eyes but ultimately didn't go against Luo Ziling's suggestion, "I'll eat something with Xiaoli first."
While Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli went to another room to eat, Luo Ziling followed Yang Xiaodong into the inner room.
"Oh, who would've thought, to meet two cousins by West Lake," Luo Ziling said in a mockingly sarcastic tone to the two people inside, who had been stripped of their freedom, "If I knew you two were also in Hangzhou, I would've planned a date; at least it wouldn't be this awkward now. Look, isn't this situation troublesome?"
As he approached the two young men whose movements were restricted, Luo Ziling lowered his head and looked at them with a playful expression, "I had a great time by West Lake, but you kept doing little things to make us unhappy, and that made you happy. But now, you've become prisoners, and you're not happy. However... I don't seem very pleased either. Dear cousins, do you think I should be happy?"
In front of Luo Ziling were Ling Haining and Ling Haijun, two descendants of the Ling Family, who were being held captive.
Yang Xiaodong called to say they found two people who shouldn't be in Qiantang and, after monitoring their communications and following them for a while, confirmed they were the ones causing trouble for Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin.
They acted decisively, subduing the bodyguards of Ling Haining and Ling Haijun and bringing them out of the hotel.
Luo Ziling wasn't sure how Yang Xiaodong and the others discovered Ling Haining and Ling Haijun's mischief, but after knowing about their mischief, he felt fairly angry, yet seeing them so dejected, he couldn't help but feel amused.
As he said these teasing words, he reached out and patted their faces.
Luo Ziling's hand was heavy, and Ling Haining and Ling Haijun were a bit dizzy from his slaps.
They were both furious that Luo Ziling dared to hit their faces—even though it wasn't exactly a slap, it was still hitting their faces heavily. Yet before they could express their anger, Luo Ziling's face turned cold.
"Dear cousins, if you don't want to suffer, you'd better tell everything truthfully; if you want to experience some unpleasant feelings, you can ignore my words, but I guarantee you'll regret it and have frequent nightmares in the future."
