Ishihara Tarou didn't stay long in Yanjing; after meeting with Ling Ruonan and handling some other matters, he returned to Japan.
He only stayed in Yanjing for two nights.
On the day Ishihara Tarou returned to Japan, Ling Ruonan met with Chen Yining.
Luo Ziling went along but did not stay by Ling Ruonan's side.
He didn't deliberately eavesdrop on their conversation, but he thought Ling Ruonan would surely tell him.
Ling Ruonan and Chen Yining talked for about forty minutes before leaving.
After leaving the place where Chen Yining was temporarily staying, Ling Ruonan headed home.
They did not exchange any words on the way home.
Once at home, Ling Ruonan finally shared with Luo Ziling what had been discussed with Chen Yining.
To Luo Ziling's surprise, when facing Ling Ruonan, Chen Yining was very sincere, displaying a completely different attitude than when talking to him, which made him a bit indignant.
He knew Chen Yining did it on purpose.
