Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi were certainly watching the drama unfold.

They never dreamed that the events in Yanjing would be so riveting.

The most influential families had evolved from covert struggles to openly tearing each other apart.

Before coming to Huaxia, Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi had gathered a lot of information about Luo Ziling, so they were also clear about Luo Ziling's relationship with the Ling Family, the grievances with the Yang Family and the Chen Family. The only thing they were unsure of was Luo Ziling's relationship with the Fang Family.

From Luo Ziling's interactions with the Fang Family, they concluded that Luo Ziling had a pretty good relationship with the Fang Family.

Only, previously, they misjudged the situation, thinking that Luo Ziling, suspected in the incident of Ling Haihang's death, would definitely get into trouble. So they wanted to take the opportunity to secretly harm Luo Ziling.

When plotting against Luo Ziling, they were worried about their grandsons getting into trouble, so they sent them back first.

Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling had already taken precautions and intercepted Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan at the airport.

In this way, they were completely out of control in this incident.

When the conflicts in Yanjing flared up again, with lessons learned, Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi dared not easily express their stance or make decisions.

They still had quite a few sources of information. The embassies and consulates in Yanjing would provide them with information, given their different status.

Chen Yijing and Chen Jiahu lost their freedom and were criminally detained. Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan were summoned to the police station several times. They thought that Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan would surely have troubles as well. But what they never expected was that just when Luo Ziling was frequently summoned to the police station for questioning, he invited them to dinner.

After receiving Luo Ziling's invitation for dinner, the two old men agreed without hesitation.

But after agreeing, they gathered together again to discuss the matter.

After discussions, they concluded: In this incident, it would be the Chen Family who suffer misfortune, and Luo Ziling would come through unscathed.

Otherwise, Luo Ziling wouldn't have the leisure to invite them to dinner.

By inviting them to dinner at such a critical time, Luo Ziling was actually expressing an attitude: the situation was entirely under his control, and he was the victor in this struggle. "We really underestimated him," was Ishihara Tarou's heartfelt reflection.

Xu Chongzhi also believed that Luo Ziling was more formidable than they imagined, and they had misjudged him.

Therefore, when they saw Luo Ziling, they showed their enthusiasm.

Without needing Luo Ziling to say anything, they proactively expressed that they would adhere to the agreement reached last time, namely the demands subsequently raised by Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling. They hoped their collaboration could progress further and sought to promote trade and cooperation between the two countries.

Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi both stated that they were willing to let their grandsons stay by Luo Ziling's side, hoping to learn more about traditional medicine from him.

Moreover, they would atone for their previous mistakes, and their families would make significant compensations for it.

Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi's stance took Luo Ziling by surprise and pleased him.

In this world, those who know their place are the most likable.

Of course, he didn't show his satisfaction on his face but instead mocked Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi a few times, saying they were so old yet so selfish and despicable, nearly getting their grandchildren killed.

Luo Ziling bluntly told Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi that if they remained stubborn this time, he really couldn't guarantee the lives of Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan.

The implication being, he would kill Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan.

However, Luo Ziling also assured Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi that as long as Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan followed his instructions and arrangements, there would definitely be no problems. A similar incident to Ling Haihang's would never happen again.

Chen Jiahu had already paid the price for his stupidity, a cautionary tale everyone would see, and he would strengthen his defenses, with security measures in the building being immediately revamped.

As Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi repeatedly expressed their commitment to cooperate well with Luo Ziling and would instruct their grandsons to unconditionally obey Luo Ziling's arrangements and behave as disciples should,

The commendable performance by Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi finally delighted Luo Ziling. He also had Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan brought to the dining place and allowed them some time with their grandfathers.

"Your grandfathers are about to return home soon. You should spend some more time talking with them. You might not see or contact them for a long time."

Luo Ziling's reminder made Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi realize that Luo Ziling didn't want them to stay in Huaxia anymore, so they also said that they would take the afternoon flight back to their country from Yanjing tomorrow.

After handing over Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan to Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi, Luo Ziling also left on the pretext of having something to do.

Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi left the dining place with Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan.

When they returned to the hotel where Xu Chongzhi was staying, Xu Zhiyuan, who hadn't completely sorted out the reasons behind the incident, asked Xu Chongzhi with a look of shock, "Grandfather, what should we do next?"

Xu Chongzhi, with a calm demeanor, replied, "Don't meddle with anything, stay in Huaxia properly for a few years. Maybe during these years, you'll gain something. Learn how Luo Ziling does things. The previous plans, let's put them aside for now. We've paid a huge price for this incident."

"Grandfather, did we admit defeat?" Xu Zhiyuan was quite surprised, thinking his grandfather admitting defeat to Luo Ziling a few times was quite disgraceful, right?

Where's the Xu Family's pride?

"Inferior skills. We'll talk about it later!"

"Grandfather, do you think so highly of Luo Ziling?"

"You're older than him, do you think that if you encountered similar situations, the outcome would be the same as his?"

Xu Zhiyuan remained silent.

"This young man will definitely become a great talent in the future. Establishing a good relationship with him now will certainly be useful. Remember, remember!"

"Grandfather, I understand!"

Ishihara Tarou was also saying similar things to Ishihara Naka.

"I used to think I overestimated Luo Ziling. After coming to Yanjing, I realized I still underestimated him." Standing at the hotel window, calmly looking at the night view outside, Ishihara Tarou lightly said to Ishihara Naka, who stood beside him, "In the future, unless you're absolutely sure, don't confront him. He's like a madman, anyone who opposes him will get bitten, and there's no way to retaliate. This time, Elder Xu and I suffered losses, and we're quite dissatisfied with it. But we may not have the chance to regain our face."

"Grandfather, what should we do then?" Ishihara Naka asked.

"First establish a good relationship with him, then with Xu Zhiyuan. You and Xu Zhiyuan may have a chance for revenge in the future."

"Grandfather, I understand!"
