Seeing the person in front of him, Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a bit helpless.

"Uncle Long Wu, if you'd said it was you coming, I wouldn't have thought the police were here to arrest me?"

"Afraid of getting caught after committing murder?"

Long Wu chuckled, sizing up Su Ming with an unexpected look of admiration in his eyes.

In this society, someone who can kill is definitely not ordinary.

Someone who can remain calm after a murder, or even sleep soundly, is even less ordinary.

The room where Su Ming lived wasn't small, at least not for him.

But the moment Long Wu entered, everything in the room seemed so insignificant.

"Uncle Long Wu, is there something you need?"

Looking at Long Wu, Su Ming vaguely guessed something, but still sought confirmation.

"Miss Lin has spoken to the boss, the boss can resolve your issue."

The boss? Lin Zhenbei?

Hearing Long Wu's words, Su Ming's heart skipped a beat.

Su Ming was well aware of the relationship between Lin Yanan and Lin Zhenbei.

Upon hearing that Lin Yanan had called Lin Zhenbei because of him, Su Ming felt a bit moved.

Even in his current state, Lin Yanan was unwilling to give up on him.

She was even willing to talk to Lin Zhenbei for his sake.

"It's really unexpected, really unexpected."

Su Ming smiled self-mockingly, Lin Yanan's figure reflecting in his mind.

"Now, there are two paths in front of you."

As he spoke, Long Wu extended two fingers.

"There are two options. First, come with me to Xia City, where you'll be safe, and the boss will find a way to clear your name."

"Second, stay here. I don't think it will be long before the police find this place."

Currently, the person in charge of this case is Deputy Director Meng De of the Public Security Bureau.

Meng De has no connections with Su Ming.

Staying at the Li Mansion isn't a wise choice, as it might even implicate Li Yueming and others.

However, Su Ming didn't answer immediately, instead falling into deep thought.

Seeing Su Ming's lack of response, Long Wu continued, "Your issue has already been put on a bounty notice, though it's only circulated internally."

"But if you keep hesitating, who knows what the future will hold."

"Or rather, after today, it might be difficult for me to take you away again."

To ordinary citizens, those three words, bounty notice, still seemed very distant.

Before, they only knew about bounty notices from watching TV.

Now that he's actually on a bounty notice, Su Ming felt a sense of unreality.

"Give me five minutes."

Su Ming still didn't answer immediately but closed his eyes.

Long Wu wasn't in a hurry either, leaving the room.

In the living room, Long Wu once again met Ah Biao.

The two were originally rivals. Now, although Long Wu's strength had improved, Ah Biao was no longer a match for him.

But for men, admitting defeat isn't an option.

"I can't beat you, but I won't submit to you either."

So, as soon as Long Wu came out, their eyes met again.

After what happened earlier, Li Yueming understood that Long Wu meant no harm, so her animosity toward him diminished.

However, sitting between the two, Li Yueming felt a bit awkward.

In the room, Su Ming was lost in memories, recalling his recent life.

He was born and raised here and now had to leave, which made him feel reluctant.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he had to rely on Lin Yanan to help him.

At this moment, Li Yueming walked in.

"Brother-in-law, are you leaving?"

Seeing Li Yueming, Su Ming's face showed a gentle smile.

"It seems there's no other way."

Although young, Li Yueming was very sensible. She stepped forward and hugged him.

"Brother-in-law, if you can, you have to come back and see me."

Su Ming extended his hand and pulled Li Yueming tightly into his embrace.

Feeling her warmth, the atmosphere in the room began to change.

A moment later, Su Ming released Li Yueming.

Li Yueming raised her head and closed her eyes.

Su Ming gently bent down and kissed Li Yueming on the lips.

He wanted to do more with Li Yueming now, but he couldn't; Long Wu was outside.

If Long Wu found out that he was involved with Yanan's sister, it would surely cause an uproar!

"Forget it, being alone, does it even matter? After all, I've always been on my own from the beginning."

Holding Li Yueming's hand, he walked out of the room and saw the two rivals like roosters.

"What are you two doing? Are you falling in love, staring at each other like that?"

This comment broke Long Wu and Ah Biao's focus, and they quickly looked away.

Come to think of it, if they continued staring, they might actually fall for each other.

Long Wu then looked towards Su Ming, seemingly asking for his decision.

Su Ming nodded but didn't speak.

However, this was enough to indicate Su Ming's attitude.

"I'll wait for you outside."

After speaking, Long Wu returned to the car.

Inside the Li Mansion, Li Yueming held Su Ming's hand, her eyes tearful.

Su Ming gently caressed Li Yueming's head, his eyes filled with warmth.

"Be good. I will come and see you."

Li Yueming nodded, but her heart was still full of reluctance.

They might meet again in the future, but who knows when that will be.

"After this, brother-in-law, please don't get into such situations again, I don't want..."

She didn't finish her last few words, but Su Ming understood what she meant.

If he had to start over, Su Ming would still make the same choices.

Su Ming then walked over to Ah Biao and patted him on the shoulder.

"Ah Biao, after I leave, take care of Yueming."

Even if Su Ming hadn't said it, Ah Biao would have surely done so.

However, Ah Biao also felt a pang of sadness.

Over time, he and Su Ming had developed a brotherly bond.

Standing in front of the Audi, Su Ming turned to look at the Li Mansion, seeing Li Yueming on the second floor.

He could see she was crying like a pear blossom bathed in rain.

Su Ming said nothing; sometimes silence was the best response.

Standing beside Su Ming, Long Wu took a drag on his cigarette, showing a melancholic expression.

"Feeling reluctant? It's natural, given you've fought so hard, but now you have to leave. However, nothing in this world is smooth sailing; there always has to be sacrifice, someone has to leave."

"Leaving isn't an achievement; coming back after leaving is."

Saying this, Long Wu tossed the cigarette butt on the ground.

"Kid, I have high hopes for you, don't let everyone down."

Taking one last look at the Li Mansion, Su Ming didn't linger and got into the car.

As the engine roared to life, the car left the Li Mansion behind.
