Chapter 562: Chapter 562: A Stroke of Luck amidst Misfortune
 

Under Ling Ruonan’s insistence, Luo Ziling was forced to remove all his upper garments, exposing his back in front of the two women.

The spot where Luo Ziling was hit was on his back, which he couldn’t see himself, but Ling Ruonan and Wuyue did.

On Luo Ziling’s back was a large, swollen area larger than a palm, which made Ling Ruonan’s heart ache so much that she teared up again.

“Ling’er, does it hurt?” Ling Ruonan completely forgot that Luo Ziling was a very accomplished doctor and, in tears, ordered Wuyue to immediately prepare the car to take Luo Ziling to the hospital for examination.

Wuyue immediately agreed, but in the end, was stopped by Luo Ziling.

“Mom, do you want me to be laughed at?” Under Ling Ruonan’s coercion, with his entire body lying on the sofa, Luo Ziling called after Wuyue, “The skin isn’t even broken, just apply some medicine and it will be fine. I have medicine in my bag.”

Ling Ruonan then remembered that her son was a doctor with very good medical skills and did not insist on going to the hospital anymore. Instead, she went into the room herself and brought out Luo Ziling’s bag.

Luo Ziling knew that the bullet had grazed his body and fallen to the ground.

When he felt the impact of a heavy object, it was when the bullet hit his body. He was truly grateful that he hadn’t taken off the bulletproof vest Lin Lan had given him when he was out shopping today. If he hadn’t been wearing the bulletproof vest, he would definitely have been injured by the bullet hitting his body.

If he had been unlucky, he might have lost his life.

He was relieved that the gunman hadn’t aimed at his head; otherwise, his head would have turned into a smashed watermelon.

Thinking about this made Luo Ziling a bit frightened.

His heart instantly filled with shadows, and he decided to try to go out less in the future, otherwise he could accidentally lose his life.

However, he was also extremely angry in his heart and silently swore that if he found the attacker, he would make the assailant’s life worse than death.

When Ling Ruonan brought his bag over, Luo Ziling took out a small bottle from the bag and handed it to Ling Ruonan, asking her to help apply the medicine inside the small bottle to the swollen area.

Luo Ziling felt a lot of pain on his back; he knew that the skin and muscle tissues were significantly injured and needed some medication to speed up the recovery.

But to his speechlessness, Ling Ruonan applied the entire bottle of medicine to his injury, covering the area with a thick layer.

Seeing Ling Ruonan return the empty medicine bottle to him and asking whether he needed any other medication, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but feel pained.

This medication was also very precious, and for the minor injury on his body, where the skin wasn’t even broken, a little application would have been enough; there was no need for such a large amount. But in the end, he did not complain, as he knew Ling Ruonan was worried about him.

Wuyue stood by, helping out, but when she saw the very strong muscles and the well-defined lines on Luo Ziling’s body, she felt a bit nervous inside.

After applying the medicine to Luo Ziling, Ling Ruonan went upstairs herself to get Luo Ziling pajamas for him to change into.

With Ling Ruonan’s help, Luo Ziling got dressed in his pajamas.

Once his upper body was no longer exposed in front of Ling Ruonan and Wuyue, Luo Ziling let out a sigh of relief.

Only then did he notice that the outfit Ling Ruonan had prepared for him today had a large tear with signs of scorching, likely the result of a high-speed bullet whizzing by.

“Thank goodness I wore a bulletproof vest, or instead of a huge swelling, there would be a big chunk of flesh missing from my back,” Luo Ziling sat on the couch, inspected the bulletproof vest, and said with a smile to Ling Ruonan and Wuyue, “This vest is of good quality, it really can stop bullets.”

Wuyue reached out to take the bulletproof vest from Luo Ziling, examined it carefully, and said softly, “This is made of the latest material from America, not commonly seen in our country. Normal vests can stop handgun and rifle bullets, but scarcely sniper rifle bullets. This vest provides a lot better protection than standard ones, but still can’t stop large caliber sniper rifle bullets. We don’t know what kind of firearms the attacker used today. If we could find the bullet at the scene, we would be able to determine the type of firearm and the approximate shooting distance.”

By this time, Ling Ruonan had calmed down, and she promptly instructed Wuyue, “Wuyue, personally handle this matter. You must see He Jianmiao and tell him the gravity of the situation.” After giving the order, she spoke again with a murderous aura, “To dare use such methods against me, it seems I have been too kind. Haha, as long as I find out who planned this, I won’t let them off.”

Ling Ruonan’s murderous intent startled even Luo Ziling.

He understood the meaning behind her words, which was to repay the enemy in kind.

If the enemy wanted to kill them, then once she knew who the planner was, she would kill them in return.

After Wuyue left to attend to that evening’s incident, Luo Ziling said to Ling Ruonan, “Mom, I couldn’t have imagined that those who want to harm us would resort to such vicious and brutal methods, going as far as to send a sniper to assassinate us.”

“The incident today was probably not aimed at you, but at me,” Ling Ruonan said with a bitter smile, “Over the years, Mom has survived more than one or two assassination attempts, even ones more dangerous than this. Usually, I hardly ever go shopping or show my face in public. When I travel, I’m accompanied by enough bodyguards. Thinking that no one would know of my whereabouts today since we sneaked out, I didn’t expect such an incident to happen.”

Luo Ziling looked at her with a face full of suspicion and asked, “Mom, do you suspect someone leaked your whereabouts?”

“Wuyue wouldn’t, and neither would anyone close to me. It must be someone tracking us or who accidentally discovered our whereabouts; otherwise, they would have acted much sooner.” Ling Ruonan arrived at her own rational conclusion, “What worries me is that tonight’s incident may go unsolved, becoming an unsolvable case.”

Luo Ziling was at a loss for words.

“Ling’er, it’s all my fault,” seeing Luo Ziling silent, Ling Ruonan thought he was scared and quickly sat beside him, “If it weren’t for Mom’s whims, this wouldn’t have happened. Luckily, you’re alright; otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to go on living.”

As she spoke, tears rolled down from her eyes involuntarily.

The incident that had happened that evening filled Ling Ruonan with fear.

Luo Ziling’s safety was of even greater concern to her than her own life.

“Mom, it’s fine, I have a tough life, nothing can kill me,” Luo Ziling wrapped an arm around Ling Ruonan’s shoulder and gently patted her, comforting her, “Are you tired today? How about you go to rest earlier?”

“Mom will take a shower first, you have a wound on your back, so you better not shower. A sponge bath should suffice, and I’ll help you clean up.” Ling Ruonan said, wiping her tears, “Later, I have something very important to discuss with you, after we talk, we’ll go to sleep.”

“Okay,” Luo Ziling agreed.
