Chapter 565: Chapter 565 Retaliation
Perhaps it was because she had walked too much today, or perhaps it was due to the shock she had received, but Ling Ruonan began to feel the unstoppable tug of sleepiness as she spoke.
Eventually, she sheepishly told Luo Ziling that she was quite tired and would take a nap. She planned to go back to her room and sleep after Wuyue returned. When Wuyue got back, she still wanted to have a proper talk with Luo Ziling about today’s events.
After saying this, she lay down on Luo Ziling’s bed and fell asleep.
Seeing Ling Ruonan looking so weary, Luo Ziling also felt quite heartbroken. After tucking her in, he turned off the lights, ready to get some sleep himself.
But just as he had begun to doze off, he heard some movement downstairs. Knowing that Wuyue had returned, he quickly got out of bed, tip-toeing down the stairs.
Indeed, Wuyue had come back. Upon entering the living room, she was preparing to go upstairs to report to Ling Ruonan.
However, before she could take the stairs, she saw Luo Ziling and slowed her steps.
“My mom just fell asleep, she’s exhausted,” Luo Ziling whispered to Wuyue after descending the staircase, “How did things go?”
Wuyue hesitated for a moment but then spoke, “Young master, the bullet that hit you has been found. It’s indeed a 7.62mm sniper rifle round. You were very lucky—it seems the bullet just grazed your bulletproof vest and then dropped to the ground when you turned. If the angle had been slightly different, it would have definitely penetrated the vest and entered your body.”
“Damn it, if I find out who took a potshot at us, I’ll blow their head off,” Luo Ziling said angrily, cursing after hearing what Wuyue had said, continuing heatedly, “This is too much, to dare to strike at us like that. By the way, did you find out who planned it?”
“It’s very difficult to find out the real mastermind behind this because even if the shooter is caught, they won’t reveal who ordered them. In fact, they might not even know who did—their only role was to get paid and do the job,” Wuyue explained apologetically before admitting her own mistake, “Young master, it was my negligence today. I failed to adequately protect the young lady.”
Seeing the remorseful expression on Wuyue’s face, Luo Ziling had a similar feeling. He quickly shook his head, “You can’t blame yourself, I didn’t anticipate something like this happening. If I hadn’t insisted on taking my mom shopping, this wouldn’t have happened. I won’t dare to do it again.”
“The young lady has always been very careful to conceal her whereabouts. She hasn’t made public appearances like she did today for many years,” Wuyue said before sadly lowering her head, “Over the years, many have wanted to kill her. She has made quite a few enemies, and with past grievances, she usually has an adequate number of bodyguards with her on her travels. She’s faced many assassination attempts over the years and has been lucky to have never had an accident.”
“You’ve worked hard. In the future, continue to be vigilant; we can’t afford a single mistake in such matters,” Luo Ziling instructed Wuyue before adding, “If we ever go out like this again, we need to make sure to do a good job with our disguises.”
