"You!" Tang Yumeng was frantic. She could only nod and say, "Okay, I agree, isn't that enough?"

Lin Chuan tightly embraced Tang Yumeng. In that moment, he felt like he became the happiest man in the world. Being able to have Tang Yumeng was the happiest thing in his life, and also the greatest happiness of his lifetime. He held Tang Yumeng tight and gritted his teeth, "Sister, this lifetime, I will take good care of you, protect you, and make you the happiest woman in the whole world. Okay?"

"Okay, but you promise me, you need to leave quickly, okay?" Tang Yumeng said anxiously.

"I want to promise you, but I'm afraid it's already too late." Lin Chuan kept watching the rear-view mirror. Not far off, several police cars and Armed Police Brigade's trucks were howling toward the direction of the docks.

It didn't take long before those vehicles immediately surrounded Tang Yumeng's Audi.

Leading them was actually Song Ming. This guy Song Ming had already planted informants around Tang Yumeng, constantly monitoring her movements. This time, Tang Yumeng acted earlier which led Song Ming to net her earlier than planned. He already knew Tang Yumeng would try to get Lin Chuan away. Unexpectedly, she took action early, so he decisively notified all departments to close in.

"Secretary Tang." Song Ming got out of the car, looking at Tang Yumeng and Lin Chuan, which somewhat surprised him. He thought that it would be Tang Yumeng arranging for someone to take Lin Chuan away, but unexpectedly, it was Tang Yumeng herself who took the action.

"Vice Secretary Song, what is the meaning of this?" Tang Yumeng frowned.

"You have disappointed the organization," sighed Song Ming. "Lin Chuan is a criminal suspect, yet you let a criminal slip away from Jiangbei City, escaping legal sanctions. This... is not something a dignified city secretary should do."

"Humph, why bother finding excuses when you want to accuse someone?" Tang Yumeng laughed.

"With both witness and evidence available, how can you say why bother finding excuses?" Song Ming smiled and said, "Secretary Tang, you knowingly violated the law, adding a degree to the crime. You knew Lin Chuan was a suspect, yet you still tried to help him escape. Isn't this harboring a criminal? Of course, I will report all these actions to the organization. As for how you should be judged, that will be up to the organization to decide. As for Lin Chuan, we need to take him away now."

"Don't you dare!" Tang Yumeng rebuked angrily.

Although there was no way to escape, Tang Yumeng was still fiercely protective. She absolutely would not allow anyone to take Lin Chuan away from her hands. Even if it cost her job, even if it ruined her career. Even if it meant she couldn't find the murderer who killed her brother, none of that mattered now. The only thing she wanted was to keep Lin Chuan safe.

"Secretary Tang, it's not up to you to decide," Song Ming smiled. "I have brought colleagues from the Public Security Bureau and the Armed Police Brigade. This case is extremely important, and I have already notified the Provincial Public Security Department. I believe there will soon be a conclusion. I needn't say more about the seriousness of this case, right?"

A nearby official quickly said, "Secretary Tang, this guy is utterly unrepentant, getting involved will do you no good."

Ignoring him, Tang Yumeng asked Song Ming, "Vice Secretary Song, do you really have to do this? Leave a way out for future good relations, right? In this government arena, who knows who might need whom later on, why make such a big fuss?"

Her words carried an implicit meaning, Song Ming's face darkened upon hearing it, "Secretary Tang, what do you mean?"

Lin Chuan stood behind Tang Yumeng. Tang Yumeng seemed to become an unscalable peak, standing in front of him, making Lin Chuan feel extremely reassured and moved. In his life, he had always been protecting others, never being protected by anyone. But this time, it was a fragile woman standing in front of him, protecting him. Lin Chuan found it incredible and felt a warm flow through his body.

But he couldn't let Tang Yumeng take the fall for him. He decided to surrender.

Beep beep beep...

Suddenly, Song Ming's phone rang. He glanced at it and nervously picked up the phone.

"Secretary Song?" Song Ming looked flustered. Song Jianguo calling him, could it be anything good? They weren't very close, rarely contacting each other except for work. Song Ming hurriedly said, "Secretary Song, what can I do for you?"

"I dare not instruct," Song Jianguo laughed. "I heard there's a big case recently in Jiangbei City?"

"Ah?" Song Ming was stunned, "What big case?"

"A young man associated with Zhou Kai who was arrested by the police for repeatedly catching thieves and acting bravely..." Song Jianguo briefly explained the situation.

Song Ming was terrified, "Secretary Song, that's not how it is, although Zhou Kai was catching a thief, he is also suspected of intentional murder. He..."

"Stop there, I've already called the forensic hospital," Song Jianguo laughed. "The forensic expert said the thief died from a cerebral hemorrhage caused by strenuous exercise and a heart attack. So, it's not Zhou Kai's fault. Lin Chuan made a fuss at the police station for a reason. Although it was wrong of him to hit someone, there was no need to blow this matter up so much. Could you handle this lightly for my sake?"

"Ah..." Hearing this, Song Ming said awkwardly, "Yes, yes."

Since Secretary Song Jianguo had spoken, what else could Song Ming say?

The phone volume was loud, everyone around held their breath, Lin Chuan heard everything clearly, Tang Yumeng also heard everything clearly. Everyone heard it loud and clear.

"Great, just great," Tang Yumeng heard this and felt as if she was released. Lin Chuan was finally acquitted. At that moment, Tang Yumeng suddenly thought of Bai Yifan, she was firm in her heart, it must have been Bai Yifan who helped her. Apart from Bai Yifan, who else could have connections at the Provincial Committee?
