Chapter 332: Chapter 331:

Ling Father said, “Just wait, when your brothers come back, I’ll relay the situation to them. After discussing, we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.”

Ling Chengyan smiled and thanked him, then bid farewell to her father before hanging up the phone.

Holding the phone receiver, Ling Father appeared calm, but once he put the phone down, he broke into a joyful expression: “Haha, no wonder she’s my daughter, Ling Zhankui’s daughter!”

The Ling Family’s eldest and second brother happened to return, pushed the door open, and heard their father muttering something. The eldest brother asked, “Dad, what did you say?”

The smile vanished instantly from Ling Father’s face, he turned back to look at his two sons, showing a face full of disdain.

Humph, two good-for-nothings, just a pair of big fools, their brains are unbelievably dull; together they’re not even half as good as his daughter, what a waste of Ling Zhankui’s good seeds.

Ling Chengyan had no idea that her single phone call caused her two brothers to be disliked by their own father, and began to draft her plan.

Ever since she became the captain of the Special Service Company, she got into the habit of planning work in advance; this way, she could calmly think things through and arrange them orderly.

Ling Chengyan drafted this plan at home in the evening, spending two entire nights, with the wholehearted help of Director Wang Liansheng.

With the plan complete, Wang Liansheng even offered to help contact the bank, saying he could expedite the loan process, which Ling Chengyan declined.

She just handled setting direction and making decisions, as for specific tasks, Liu San and the two brothers of the Ling Family were naturally the ones to handle them.

In essence, she was the person behind the scenes, while the real front-facing matters were theirs, as she couldn’t possibly handle everything herself.

The Ling Family’s two brothers had already responded, naturally approving of Ling Chengyan’s plan. The two brothers weren’t the type to be content with minor successes, otherwise, they wouldn’t have resigned together to venture out just over a petty issue.

They also had ambitions to grow large and strong; originally, they planned to accumulate steadily, expand externally at least three years later.

Now, with the plan proposed by their sister, and the supporting funds and manpower, their ability to leverage and grow would be foolish not to agree.

Of course, the two brothers weren’t the kind of people who would take advantage limitlessly; knowing they borrowed their sister’s aid, they proactively made concessions regarding equity shares in cooperation.

Ling Chengyan suggested that the Ling Family’s two brothers and Liu San each hold 35%, while she held 30%. The two brothers voluntarily gave up 15%, holding only 20%, or 10% each. As for business operations, they asked to be paid based on labor;

Perhaps influenced by the Ling Family’s two brothers, Liu San and others also gave up 11% shares; the three held 24%, or 8% each. Ling Chengyan finally decided to give them 30%; Liu San and his group each held 8%, with Xiao Xi holding 6%, counting as the dowry Ling Chengyan gave to Xiao Xi.

Ultimately, Ling Chengyan personally held 50% of the shares. Naturally, her investment was also the most, surpassing the total investment of the others.

This venture almost emptied Ling Chengyan’s decade-long savings.

While busy with these affairs, Ling Chengyan regularly visited the hospital to check on Zhou Guoqing.

On the second day admitted to the hospital, the doctor conducted another examination on Zhou Guoqing, confirming the lungs were injured, but not too severe. However, urine tests found red blood cells, indicating microscopic hematuria, potentially caused by kidney injury leading to inflammation, needing enhanced treatment.

If the kidney injury wasn’t treated timely after discharge, it could result in chronic nephritis or even kidney damage, a relatively serious consequence.

Ling Chengyan urged the doctor to add several organ examinations, confirmed no other organ damage, and then took the doctor’s newly issued diagnosis to the police station to submit materials. With it, Zhou Guoqing’s injury was definitively judged as minor harm. According to Chinese criminal law, causing minor harm constitutes intentional injury, punishable by up to three years imprisonment, control, or detention.

Mob violence is considered significantly malicious and seriously problematic in nature.

Among those ruffians, some families came to the police station seeking to alleviate or exempt punishment through compensation and forgiveness. The police station chief was initially somewhat wavering, considering persuading the victim, since Zhou Guoqing’s injuries seemed between minor and slight, minor injuries typically aren’t subject to criminal liability.

However, with Ling Chengyan’s diagnosis proof again submitted, the injuries were definitively classified within the minor category, certainly meeting the sentencing standards; in such circumstances, receiving a letter of forgiveness could only reduce punishment standards, not exempt it.

Ling Chengyan was resolute: “Demand strict punishment, refuse mediation and compensation.”

She didn’t want money; she only wished for proper punishment of those people.

Despite relatively good physical constitution, Zhou Guoqing’s kidney inflammation came under control after a week of hospitalization, no red blood cells detected in urine tests. Lung inflammation hadn’t progressed, it was practically dismissible. Remaining was the rest and recovery from rib and forearm fractures. At Zhou Guoqing’s request, Ling Chengyan processed his discharge.

And additionally ’introduced’ him to a job.

Liu San and the others rented a five space storefront in the West Gate Market of the provincial city, ready to start their wholesale business there as well.

Temporarily, Zhou Guoqing’s work was looking after the yard. Once his injuries healed, they’ll introduce him to a driver position.

Knowing Zhou Guoqing’s temperament, if not arranging a job for him, even reluctantly accepting Ling Chengyan’s assistance, he would feel uneasy. Better to provide him with a ’self-reliant’ job, allowing him to do things within his abilities, being able to recuperate calmly while also helping Liu San with overseeing.

Of course, regarding Ling Family’s eldest and second brother meeting Zhou Guoqing and, upon learning of his repair skills, invited him to also maintain their vehicles for extra pay, Ling Chengyan didn’t know.

That was the bond between the Ling brothers and Master Zhou.

Here, Zhou Guoqing was properly arranged, while the Special Service Company’s field training officially launched.

The Special Service Company was pulled into the Southern Mountain Area for training, for a week of outdoor survival and cross-country training. As the Brigade Commander, Ling Chengyan finally didn’t have to personally undertake cross-country with the troops, but she insisted on staying with the troop in the mountains, personally keeping track of each squad’s training situation.

As the cold spring advanced, the troop had barely entered the mountains when light rain began falling, and as temperatures dropped, it transformed into sleet. The harsh weather conditions amplified the difficulty of cross-country and outdoor survival training.

Ling Chengyan stared at the newly equipped tracking instrument, looking at the small bright spots indicating soldier positioning on the screen, tightly pressing her lips.

Zhang Yuanhong stood beside, arms folded, smirking: “These kids aren’t bad; though encountering incessant rain, as long as they endure the initial two days, according to weather forecasts, temperatures will quickly rebound afterward, making it easier.”

Ling Chengyan didn’t even glance at him and only replied casually: “Is the cold medicine and medical rescue team ready?”
