When only Xu Zhiyuan and Xu Chongzhi were left in the room, Xu Chongzhi said to Xu Zhiyuan in an earnestly admonishing tone, "Ishihara Naka is already in trouble, and there will be bigger trouble later. You need to keep your distance from him."
"Grandpa, I've already kept my distance from him." Xu Zhiyuan hurriedly nodded. "All this ti, I've been monitoring him."
"When you all went to the Northwest, he secretly took so photos of key military sites—those places where satellites can't get clear images, he actually ran there to take pictures himself. Does he really not know that Luo Ziling's people have been watching him all along?" Xu Chongzhi's face was full of mockery. "He's already made mistakes more than once and still doesn't know how to stop and correct himself. Heh, sooner or later, he's going to destroy himself. Ishihara Tarou is senile as well—his grandson acts like this and he doesn't even put a stop to it."
"Grandpa, Luo Ziling has been on his guard against him, and I've been using my surveillance on him to gain Luo Ziling's favor. It's just that the things you wanted to do, I never had the chance to succeed, I'm really sorry." As Xu Zhiyuan spoke, he roughly recounted what he had done during this period. After he finished, he added, "Luo Ziling's trust in is clearly stronger than in Ishihara Naka. If things keep going this way, I can still fight for an opportunity."
"You can stop doing what Grandpa asked you to do." Xu Chongzhi smiled as he said to Xu Zhiyuan, "Judging from Luo Ziling's behavior during this period, he doesn't have too much guard against you two—I an in terms of dical skills. If you always work diligently while staying by his side, after a long ti, he will teach us so of the trump-card skills he's keeping at the bottom of the chest. So, let's trade ti for achievent. Let past grudges stay in the past. That grandfather-grandson pair is indeed much stronger than the two of us grandfather and grandson; we need to learn from them. As long as he's willing to teach us those legendary dical arts, then we've succeeded. There's nothing shaful about asking questions humbly and lowering ourselves to seek instruction."
Xu Zhiyuan hadn't expected his grandfather's attitude to change like this, and for a mont he didn't react.
Xu Chongzhi continued, "This ti coming to Huaxia, I actually wanted to find Luo Liansheng to exchange and learn a bit as well. Now that Ishihara Naka has stirred up trouble, I worry you'll be dragged into it too, so I also wanted to co and talk with you. From reading your learning reports over this period, I've discovered that compared with traditional Chinese dicine, our Korean dicine is indeed inferior in many aspects. Especially the number of practitioners—we simply can't compare with Huaxia. You also know the prominent status of the Ling Family where Luo Ziling's mother cos from. They can use their influence to accomplish many things, including developing traditional dicine. If we get along well with them, it will be greatly beneficial to us. Better to resolve an enemy than create one; what we lost is just a Copper ManBronze Figures, nothing more."
"Yes, Grandpa, I'll rember that!"
Having followed Luo Ziling for almost half a year, Xu Zhiyuan had developed more goodwill toward this Huaxia youth who was about the sa age as himself.
Luo Ziling was capable—on that point, he absolutely acknowledged it.
He also had no doubt that Luo Ziling could accomplish great things.
It was just that, being young and hot-blooded, he still couldn't swallow that breath.
Having been humiliated by Luo Ziling several tis, he was of course unwilling to accept it.
Listening to his grandfather talk like this, Xu Zhiyuan felt a bit of relief inside.
Xu Chongzhi went on instructing Xu Zhiyuan, "Ishihara Tarou definitely won't be willing to swallow this humiliation. This ti he's co to Huaxia, although he says it's to put out the fire for his grandson, he certainly won't be reconciled to paying the price and will definitely try to claw sothing back. You must be very wary of Ishihara Naka—the little devils' hearts are all vicious. Rember this: if you can let them be destroyed, then just let them be destroyed. The gains from cooperating with the Ling Family will definitely be far greater than those from cooperating with the Ishihara Family."
"Grandpa, I will definitely keep your teachings in mind!" Understanding what Xu Chongzhi ant, Xu Zhiyuan imdiately agreed.
"Tomorrow I'll go take a look at the place where you work. If Luo Ziling cos by, I'll have an exchange with him; it's fine to treat it as paying a visit." Xu Chongzhi smiled. "They didn't want to see us today, they obviously wanted to give us a slap in the face. Of course, they wanted to give Ishihara Tarou a slap in the face, and since I ca together with Ishihara Tarou, there's no way they would et alone either, so don't bla them for anything."
"Grandpa, you really have a broad mind!"
"Once you're old, you see a lot of things more clearly." Xu Chongzhi chuckled.
But Ishihara Tarou did not have the sa tolerance as Xu Chongzhi. After he ca to Huaxia, he had Ishihara Naka contact Luo Ziling, yet Luo Ziling actually didn't pick up the phone.
They tried to contact Ling Ruonan, but couldn't reach any of Ling Ruonan's people either.
When they contacted the relevant Huaxia departnts again, they were t with the sa cold shoulder.
This made Ishihara Tarou very angry, and he complained quite a bit in front of Ishihara Naka.
Of course, he also fiercely scolded Ishihara Naka, calling him too stupid, that he'd ssed up even such a small matter.
He asked Ishihara Naka why he had to overestimate himself, why he had to do such a foolish thing.
That was the kind of work for professional intelligence personnel, for Ishihara Naka's father and his colleagues on the intelligence front to do. Ishihara Naka, who wasn't even part of the intelligence system, why did he have to stir up this ss?
Ishihara Tarou asked Ishihara Naka whether he had forgotten the task that was entrusted to him.
After being scolded by Ishihara Tarou, Ishihara Naka felt even more upset, and his resentnt toward Luo Ziling grew even stronger.
After berating Ishihara Naka, Ishihara Tarou also analyzed with him the price the Ishihara Family would have to pay for this incident.
Ishihara Tarou wanted to use this to shock Ishihara Naka awake so that he wouldn't do stupid things again, or the price they'd pay would be enormous.
But this only made Ishihara Naka hate Luo Ziling even more, and he secretly swore that he would definitely find a chance to take revenge.
What made Ishihara Tarou different from Xu Chongzhi was that he didn't warn his own grandson to stop doing stupid things and just honestly focus on learning dical skills.
He only reminded Ishihara Naka that whatever he did, he must be extrely cautious.
Luo Ziling knew that Xu Chongzhi and Ishihara Tarou were definitely unhappy about being left hanging, but he hadn't expected their thoughts to be completely different.
Xu Chongzhi had already abandoned his resentnt toward him and wanted to strengthen cooperation, striving for more developnt opportunities to enhance his family's overall strength.
Ishihara Tarou, on the other hand, still wanted to play little tricks, and even wanted Ishihara Naka to find a way to get hold of those two precious Copper ManBronze Figures.
While Xu Chongzhi and Xu Zhiyuan, and Ishihara Tarou and Ishihara Naka were talking, he had already arrived at Yang Qingyin's place.
"Busy man, you finally found the ti to co see ?" Seeing Luo Ziling walk in carrying a bag of fruit and a big bowl of small wontons, Yang Qingyin, who was practicing yoga, looked at him with a beaming smile. "You're even busier than my grandpa!"
"Guess what Chen Yijing ca to tell us tonight?" Luo Ziling put the things in his hands on the table, then walked over to Yang Qingyin's side. Ignoring the fact that she was still practicing, he wrapped an arm around her waist and said with a grin, "You're not feeling well and you're still exercising?"
Yang Qingyin reached out and pinched Luo Ziling, and said irritably, "Don't ss up my practice, go sit over there."
After Luo Ziling obediently got up, she snorted, "Isn't it just that she wants to ask you to help with treatnt?"
"You can even guess that?"
"And I also guessed that it's a trap."
"Why?"
"Grandpa told !"
"..." Luo Ziling stared at Yang Qingyin in surprise; he hadn't expected Yang Yuanshan to talk about this kind of thing with her.
