The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Pointing Out the Way
After Lin Lan left with Luo Ziling, the police began to clean up the aftermath.

Having called for an ambulance, they also summoned a tow truck to remove the Toyota Camry that was beyond the point of being drivable after the crash.

“Li, who was that woman just now?” another officer asked the leading officer, “She crashed a car and beat someone up, and yet we saluted them.”

“A member of a special forces unit without a designated number,” Li said and then realizing he might have divulged confidential information, promptly cautioned, “Don’t ask anything else, let this incident pass. Take care of these people properly, they even dared to stir up trouble right in front of a school.”

In fact, they had a rough idea of what had happened upon arrival.

Among those beaten up were some thugs they often saw, who had been involved in countless incidents.

It was clear without saying that those thugs were working for someone, aiming to beat someone up but had kicked an iron plate instead, getting a beating themselves with nowhere to complain.

Even though the cars of those who were doing someone else’s bidding and taking revenge had been smashed and they had been beaten, in this case, these people were the true instigators of the crime. They had the audacity to cause trouble without knowing their limits and were fortunate not to have been killed by that woman.

If that woman really had been on a mission and these people had provoked her, even if they had been killed, it would have been in vain.

The officers also checked on the conditions of the injured and found that the woman had been very measured in her actions. Although those unfortunate ones looked quite miserable, none of them were in any life-threatening condition.

However, the police officers were at a loss for words when those who had been beaten were not willing to let it go, raging at the officers on duty, demanding the arrest of the assailant. It seemed the leader had some clout, speaking to the officers with an air of arrogance.

But the officers ignored it, and after reporting the situation to their superiors, they cleared the scene.

As for the handling of the case, they would leave that to the leadership. The officers, as the footmen, had no need to wade into these muddy waters.

It took nearly an hour, but with the help of auxiliary police, the officers managed to clean up the site and restore traffic at the school entrance.

By this time, Luo Ziling had already arrived at Dragon Rise’s base with Lin Lan.

Although Lin Lan was cool and reluctant to talk, from Luo Ziling’s perspective, she was already much better than before.

At least, she would answer some of the questions he asked.

Of course, Lin Lan’s performance at the school gate today was the direct reason why his impression of her changed.

In any case, he thought Lin Lan was much cuter than before, and even when she was acting cool, it was no longer as uncomfortable to watch as it once was.

After Lin Lan brought Luo Ziling to the small building where Li Haiyang lived, she stood quietly to one side.

“Senior, I’ve come again,” Luo Ziling greeted with a smile as he approached Li Haiyang, who was sitting up in bed with a smile, “Seeing you look much better makes me happy too.”

“All thanks to you,” Li Haiyang said with a smile, gesturing for Luo Ziling to sit on a chair, suggesting they talk first, and then instructing Lin Lan, “Lan’er, you go out first. I need to have a talk with Ziling first.”

Lin Lan frowned slightly at Luo Ziling in dissatisfaction but ultimately obediently left the room.

“You’ve been found out by the Yang Family for hanging out with the Yang Family’s young princess?” Li Haiyang didn’t bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.

“I didn’t expect even you to know about this, Senior,” Luo Ziling said, slightly embarrassed, “I don’t know how things ended up this way.”

“Actually, this isn’t good,” Li Haiyang rarely voiced his opinion before adding, “You’ve just arrived in Yanjing, and you’re already provoking the Yang Family, which will make things difficult for your mother. You must already know about your mother’s and her family’s situation, right?”

“I know,” Luo Ziling didn’t intend to hide anything, “I’ve also met with my mother.”

“You met?” Li Haiyang was slightly surprised, then immediately laughed and said, “Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. But in your current state, it puts your mother in a difficult position.”

“Please enlighten me, Senior,” Luo Ziling had asked Li Haiyang for advice during his previous visits, but Li had been evasive, reluctant to say much. Today, however, Li had brought it up on his own initiative, so Luo Ziling naturally wanted to hear more.

“Your mother certainly hoped that you would keep a low profile after coming to Yanjing and not let anyone know of your existence. Now you know, neither the Yang Family nor the Ling Family wish for your return. Your coming back disturbs a lot of people’s nerves. They will target you, and they will target your mother even more, because you both have broken the promise made back then.” Li Haiyang spoke with a profound sense of seriousness.

“Senior speaks the complete truth,” Luo Ziling said sincerely, “I have no experience with these matters and don’t know how to deal with them. I hope Senior can show me the way out of my confusion.”

Because of what Ouyang Feifei had said and his interactions over time, Luo Ziling was relatively trusting of Li Haiyang.

“It would be best if things could go back to the way they were before this all happened. You quietly studying, with them unaware of you, not causing you trouble,” Li Haiyang laughed and then shook his head, “Of course, that’s impossible.”

Luo Ziling suddenly didn’t know what to say.

“Another possibility is to escalate the situation further, involving more stakeholders. That way, people will come out to help you. There will always be those who need you,” Li Haiyang said, and then, patting his leg, instructed Luo Ziling, “Alright, I’ve complained enough. Don’t take it too much to heart; where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

Hearing what Li Haiyang had said and seeing him pat his leg, Luo Ziling seemed to have an epiphany.

“Thank you for pointing the way, Senior. I know what to do now.”

Li Haiyang didn’t say more and had Luo Ziling help him lie down before calling Lin Lan and the nurses to tend to him.

Luo Ziling complied naturally.

After earnestly treating Li Haiyang for about an hour, Luo Ziling stood up, drenched in sweat.

Fortunately, he wasn’t depleted today.

After several treatments, Luo Ziling had learned to control his energy better, distributing it optimally to conserve some strength for himself.

After arranging things, Lin Lan then took Luo Ziling to her room, telling him to take a shower first while she went to fetch lunch for him.

Luo Ziling didn’t refuse and compliantly accepted Lin Lan’s arrangement.

After taking a shower and drying his hair, Lin Lan returned.

The two sat opposite each other and ate together.

During the meal, Lin Lan didn’t look at Luo Ziling, focusing solely on eating the food in her bowl quickly.

Towards the end, she softly said, “Tomorrow you’ll continue treating the chief. Wait for me at the school gate.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you at the school gate,” Luo Ziling responded with a knowing smile.

He understood the implication behind Lin Lan’s words.
