Chapter 1827: Applying a Little Pressure
In the end, Ling Haining and Ling Haijun couldn't withstand Luo Ziling's intimidation. After Luo Ziling applied some minor tactics, they surrendered. They confessed that they planned some things because they were dissatisfied with Luo Ziling's harm to them.
From their confession, Luo Ziling also learned some things.
The incident where Yang Qingye got injured in a car accident last time was orchestrated by them, and the series of events that happened after Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin came to Hangzhou this time were also their doing. They confessed quite a bit, and some things surprised Luo Ziling.
However, they did not confess to the incident of Yang Qingye getting injured and poisoned afterward. When Luo Ziling questioned them about this, they denied it.
Luo Ziling believed what they said.
Because they confessed to one thing, they intended to poison Ling Jinhua or Ling Mingrui's food or medicine to frame Luo Ziling and drag him into an irretrievable situation. Having even confessed to such a thing, Luo Ziling felt that if they had really planned the poisoning of Yang Qingye, they wouldn't deny it. After all, when compared in importance, these two matters differ significantly.
It was Yang Yunlin's doing, which can be said to be beyond doubt.
Luo Ziling asked Yang Xiaodong to record their confession on video and back it up in several places.
However, Luo Ziling did not believe this was just planned by Ling Haining and Ling Haijun.
He thought these two guys weren't bold enough nor capable enough. There must be someone else behind them instigating or emboldening them.
But the two refused to admit that someone instructed them to do this, staunchly insisting that it was their own idea because they hated Luo Ziling a lot. They felt disgraced by him and lost their status in the Ling Family, becoming increasingly ignored by the elders.
"Is it Ling Zhengping or Ling Zhenghui?" Luo Ziling ignored their excuses and asked directly, "Tell me quickly!"
Ling Haining and Ling Haijun had not expected Luo Ziling to ask so directly and were stunned right there.
Luo Ziling walked up to Ling Haijun, smiling and patting his face, "It should be your father instructing you to do this, right? No worries, at worst, I'll cut off your little JJ and send it to your dad, so he knows what the cost of plotting against others is."
Ling Haijun was frightened into a shiver and quickly shouted, "Not my dad, it was Uncle Zhengping."
"Ling Haijun," Ling Haining got angry, "if you dare talk nonsense, I'll kill you!"
Being shouted at by Ling Haining, Ling Haijun immediately shut up.
He was scared into silence.
At this time, Ling Haining's face was full of anger, looking as if he could eat someone.
Having never seen Ling Haining like this, Ling Haijun was naturally terrified.
"I understand a little now," seeing their reaction, Luo Ziling found it amusing. He walked back to Ling Haijun, patting his face again, "Go ahead, tell me the real situation. Don't think everyone else is an idiot. In cases like this, people can guess quite a bit. Of course, there's one thing you should realize: if you're really taking the fall for someone, it's not just as simple as taking the fall anymore. Perhaps your dad will not only receive your little JJ specimen but some other things too. Want to try?"
As Luo Ziling spoke, he turned to one of Yang Xiaodong's men and said, "I heard you excel at this kind of thing, how about giving it a try later to let everyone see what the process of castration is like?"
Hearing this, Ling Haijun was scared half to death, begging for mercy quickly.
"Ling Haijun, don't be afraid. He's just trying to scare you into confessing under duress. Even with a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to harm you!" Ling Haining shouted this to Ling Haijun, then looked at Luo Ziling with a smirk, "We've already said what needed to be said; it was all our doing, nothing to do with my dad or Haijun's dad!"
With a "smack," Ling Haining received a heavy slap across the face.
After casually delivering a slap, Luo Ziling furiously shouted at Ling Haining, "Just because your IQ is so low doesn't mean others are as well. Do you think only you can do bad things, and I can't? I'm a good person, but if you think a good person can only do good things, then you're wrong."
As Luo Ziling spoke, he signaled the man in black, ready to deal with Ling Haijun, "I've changed my mind now, you should castrate him first. Anyway, my uncle has illegitimate children outside; castrating him won't end the lineage."
Having been slapped by Luo Ziling, Ling Haining was dizzy, with blood trickling from his mouth.
Before he could recover, the man in black, following Luo Ziling's orders, strode up to him and directly cut open his trousers.
Ling Haining felt a chill in his lower body and instinctively looked down, only to see that his pants were torn open and even the underpants were slashed.
The "wind blows, balls chill" feeling made him shiver instinctively.
His attention quickly shifted from his beaten face to his lower body.
After being captured by Yang Xiaodong's men, Ling Haining and Ling Haijun were both tied to pillars, their hands and bodies bound, but their feet could still move freely. He wanted to use his hand to cover his vital parts, but finding that his hands couldn't move, he could only cross his legs to cover himself as much as possible.
Seeing Ling Haijun, tied and screaming in terror, with a pale face, Luo Ziling could hardly hold back his laughter.
Suppressing his laughter, Luo Ziling picked up a knife, walked up to Ling Haijun, and smirked as he said, "Or how about this: if you cut off your brother's thing, you'll be spared from this punishment. If you don't want to do it, then yours will be cut off."
While saying this, Luo Ziling used the knife to cut Ling Haijun's belt, causing his pants to lose support and fall. Luo Ziling then placed the knife into Ling Haijun's hand. Ling Haijun began to cry, frantically begging for mercy, pleading with Luo Ziling to let him go.
"Cousin, please let me go; I really didn't plan this, it was Haining's dad, your uncle. He's not willing to be bullied by you, so he wanted revenge. He couldn't do it himself, so he had Haining take me along for these things. We never thought you'd find out so quickly. I'll confess to one more thing: we tried to bribe one of the bodyguards around your mom. No, no, it wasn't bribery, more like trying to convince one of the bodyguards to help us out. He's still hesitating, hasn't agreed yet." Upon saying this, Ling Haijun threw away the knife, crying even louder, "I won't dare again, I'll never try to harm you again, even if it kills me. Please, let me go, I'm willing to work for you from now on."
"Doesn't seem like you're scared out of your wits," Luo Ziling approached Ling Haijun's side, chuckling, "You've explained yourself quite clearly, worthy of being a descendant of the Ling Family. Of course, if you can reflect, I would be happy to see it. If you can tell everything you know and are willing to turn over a new leaf, I will give you a chance!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
