Ling Ruonan did not have dinner at home, but returned to the conference venue around four-thirty in the afternoon.

The participants of the conference, unless they have important matters, are expected to stay at the conference accommodation center at night.

Ling Ruonan wanted to stay in constant contact with Ling Mingrui, so she definitely had to stay at the conference accommodation center.

After Ling Ruonan left, Luo Ziling asked Luo Liansheng, "Grandpa, are you worried about something?"

"Of course, I'm worried about your and your mother's safety." Luo Liansheng sighed, "I won't hide anything from you, I hope the two sons of Chen Rushan can emerge in this struggle, but I know your mother and your grandfather don't have this plan. They just want to severely weaken the Chen Family."

"No wonder," Luo Ziling understood something, "they want to completely dismantle a family. The descendants of the Chen Family won't have their day in the sun either."

"Forget it, let's leave everything to fate," Luo Liansheng shook his head with a bitter smile, "whether they can seize the opportunity depends on themselves. If they have the ability, they'll seize the opportunity themselves. Only those who can seize the opportunity will have their day."

"Grandpa, Grandma's spirit in heaven will understand your intentions," Luo Ziling comforted, "I actually have no requirements, but I hope those who occasionally try to harm us meet their misfortune. I know, in the past six months or so, the Chen Family has planned many incidents against me. If the Chen Family can fall, it would be a joy for all. If someone among their descendants can step up and clean up the mess, that would be the best outcome. Just like you said, Grandpa, and also, what we need to do now is avoid getting hurt, or else everything is meaningless."

"No matter what, the impact of this matter is enormous. It's rare for such a big incident to happen during this kind of conference," Luo Liansheng sighed before laughing, "Forget it, let's just watch this as if watching a play, after all, so many big figures are participating. While the gods fight, we little people should step aside; we have fulfilled our responsibilities."

"Alright," Luo Ziling nodded and agreed.

While Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng were sitting and lamenting, Ling Mingrui was not at the conference site.

Today, after the meeting, he went directly to the Ling Family Old Mansion.

Although Ling Jinhua did not attend the conference, he is still seen in many people's eyes as a state-level Pillar, and more so as the symbol of the Ling Family.

In Ling Mingrui's eyes, his father is an unavoidable threshold. To make major decisions, he definitely has to consult with his father.

Therefore, after today's meeting ended, he drove directly to the Ling Family Old Mansion.

"Aren't you supposed to be in a meeting? Why are you here?" Seeing Ling Mingrui in front of him, Ling Jinhua was not surprised but still asked.

"The Yang Family plans to act against the Chen Family, and I have this intention too. The Fang Family shouldn't interfere and may even assist," Ling Mingrui knew that the recent happenings couldn't be hidden from Ling Jinhua, so he spoke plainly, "Father, what do you think should be done with this matter."

"The key is not whether or not to do it, but what can be gained after doing it." Ling Jinhua looked at Ling Mingrui very seriously, "You've made up your mind, yet you have doubts in your heart, which is not right. You didn't think through the aftermath, and that's not a mistake someone your age should be making. In fact, when things happen, you should have considered whether this is an opportunity, instead of being passive to handle it."

"Father, I really hadn't thought about doing such a thing at this point in time. I only wanted to focus on the personnel arrangements after this conference. Now targeting the Chen Family, the Chen Family certainly won't entirely collapse." Ling Mingrui did not hide his thoughts, speaking calmly with Ling Jinhua, "My original thought was not to act; if acting, to do it thoroughly. Thus, I did not think everything through. But I feel, since Old Sir Yang has the intent to act, why not collaborate with him this time. At least, we can gain quite some benefits."

"You're all underestimating your grandson's capabilities. Haven't you considered that he's using these matters to manipulate you, making you solve his problems?"

Ling Mingrui hadn't expected Ling Jinhua to say this, and was a bit surprised, but ultimately spoke the truth, "Father, I think Ziling is a rare talent, and we shouldn't exclude him. It's not overestimating him, but because what he's done over the past half year indeed makes people see him in a new light. I think, over time, his abilities will become more and more outstanding. Helping him out might bring us more returns."

"He bears the surname Luo, not Ling."

Ling Jinhua's words immediately made Ling Mingrui wrinkle his brows slightly, understanding what Ling Jinhua meant, but he didn't argue with him. He only lightly said, "Father, perhaps he doesn't value what our Ling Family can offer him. He's just looking to borrow some influence, not to step on the Ling Family."

"Maybe you see things clearer than I do, after all, I'm old. People, they become useless as they age." Ling Mingrui reclined on a lounge chair and waved his hand at Ling Mingrui, "Alright, you can go, you've been going out a lot lately, it's surely not suitable. Do what you think is right, I understand, you're doing it for the good of the Ling Family."

In Ling Mingrui's words, Ling Mingrui detected his father's blame, and he sighed slightly inside.

"Father, then I'll leave, take care and rest well."

As Ling Mingrui left Ling Jinhua's room, his expression turned very serious.

On his way from the Old Mansion in the car, he closed his eyes and thought for a long time, finally exhaling slowly.

"I'll act impulsively just once!"

Perhaps the entanglement of Ling Mingrui and Ling Ruonan is the best indication of the severity of the situation, as even calm and composed people like them showed hesitation and anxiety, suggesting the matter was indeed something that ordinary people couldn't bear or predict.

In the end, the situation escalated at a speed none could have anticipated.

The day after the conference concluded, an astonishing piece of news spread among the conference representatives.

The second son of the Chen Family in Yanjing, Chen Yijing, who was a deputy in a certain department, was taken away from the conference site by the police.

After taking a day off, Chen Yijing had just appeared at the conference site when he was taken away by the police.

The police issued an arrest warrant to Chen Yijing, saying he was connected to a recent public shooting incident of grave impact.

Chen Yijing's being taken away by police at the conference center immediately caused a huge uproar.

The important people among several top aristocratic families knew what was happening.

But others of lesser importance, as well as those unrelated to these matters, were extremely surprised to see someone of Chen Yijing's level being taken away. Many immediately thought of one thing, which is that the Chen Family might be about to fall.
