Sitting in the car, gazing at the scenery outside, Su Ming's eyes were incredibly calm.

Could it be that I'm just leaving like this?

Recalling the past, I have fought hard here.

My friends are here, my family is here, the woman is here.

I've left so many memories here, could it really be just...

At this moment, Su Ming's phone rang.

He glanced at it; it was a text message from an unknown number.

The message wasn't long, but it made Su Ming's brows furrow tightly.

Meanwhile, a squad of special police appeared ahead, stopping Long Wu's vehicle.

"Hello, please cooperate for a check."

The leader was the deputy captain of the special police team, Zhang Wencheng, also Meng De's confidant.

Actually, when Su Ming arrived at the Li Mansion, his whereabouts had already been tracked by the police bureau.

The reason for the delay was due to Li Lisen secretly pressuring Meng De.

As the saying goes, the higher rank suppresses the lower one.

Although Meng De had considerable power behind him, he was still under Li Lisen.

However, he dispatched people to surround the periphery of the Li Mansion.

Back then, when Long Wu went to the Li Mansion, Zhang Wencheng didn't stop him.

Because he also feared that license plate.

Now that they're out of the Li Mansion, Su Ming is likely in that car.

Facing Zhang Wencheng's obstruction, Long Wu glanced at Zhang Wencheng indifferently, his expression unchanged.

"You have no right to inspect my vehicle, move aside!"

Though Zhang Wencheng had never met Long Wu, the car's license plate and the five dragon tattoos on his arm revealed his identity.

Looking at Long Wu in front of him, Zhang Wencheng was momentarily at a loss.

Eventually, he took out his phone and dialed Meng De's number.

At the same time, Meng De hadn't slept for days.

Because Su Ming hadn't been captured, he was under immense pressure.

His eyes were bloodshot.

Receiving Zhang Wencheng's call, Meng De's face instantly looked better.

He was certain that Su Ming was definitely in that car.

Once Su Ming was captured, the case could be settled.

But at this moment, Li Lisen burst through the door.

Seeing Li Lisen enter, Meng De whispered.

"Hang on a second."

After speaking, Meng De muted the phone's microphone and looked at Li Lisen.

"Director Li, any thoughts?"

Li Lisen and Meng De were naturally at odds, even competitors.

Though he lost the race to be director, he hadn't compromised or yielded.

"Old Meng, we've known each other for ten years now, right?"

Li Lisen wore a confident smile, sitting in Meng De's seat.

Meng De was unsure of Li Lisen's intentions, cautiously watching him.

"We entered here at the same time, until now, ten years, though rivals, we're also friends, wouldn't you say?"

Meng De nodded but remained silent.

"Have you ever thought about why that leader wants you to capture Su Ming?"

"Naturally, it's because they trust me."

Upon saying this, Meng De's face displayed confidence.

"Heh, trust? Are you that naive?"

Li Lisen laughed, shaking his head, then his voice turned icy.

"Are you aware of who's involved in this matter?"

Facing Li Lisen's question, Meng De shook his head.

This detail truly eluded him.

"There are many leaders involved, such as..."

Li Lisen named a few people, causing Meng De's expression to turn grave.

"So many, all prominent figures, this..."

What seemed a straightforward murder case turned out to involve many big shots.

"In the games of bigwigs, we are chess pieces, and cast-offs too."

"Even if Su Ming is captured and the case ends, what about the aftermath, don't you know?"

"Bigwigs won't tear faces for a mere issue, but they always need an out. As the executor of this task, are you perhaps the cast-off?"

Upon hearing this, Meng De's face grew more somber.

But still unsatisfied, he spoke.

"But I'm following orders, I..."

Before Meng De could finish, Li Lisen slammed the table.

"Following orders requires knowing how to act."

"Do what needs to be done, don't do what shouldn't be done."

"Make a big show, but keep the rain light, maintain appearances, stay clear, and protect yourself."

Li Lisen's words left Meng De stunned and speechless for a long time.

"Hey, Director Meng, Director Meng!"

Zhang Wencheng's voice from the phone drew Li Lisen's thoughts back.

He picked up the phone, swallowed hard, his voice a bit hoarse.

"Hello, Zhang Wencheng."

"Director Meng, I'm here."

Looking ahead, Meng De took several deep breaths as if making a huge decision.

"That car has no issues; let it go immediately."

"But Director Meng, you previously said..."

Before Zhang Wencheng could continue, Meng De shouted angrily.

"I said let it go, didn't you hear?"

No longer daring to hesitate, Zhang Wencheng immediately let the car pass.

Listening to Meng De and Zhang Wencheng's conversation, Li Lisen's expression relaxed significantly.

He gazed outside the window, thinking.

"Su Ming, this is all I can do, the rest is up to you."

Leaving the Li Mansion, Long Wu's face also showed relief.

"Once you reach the boss, you'll be safe. Don't worry, everything needed has been done."

Sitting in the backseat, Su Ming didn't reply to Long Wu, remaining silent.

After what seemed like a long time, Su Ming finally spoke, "Actually, I have one last choice."

Long Wu paused, still unclear about Su Ming's intent.

Yet the next second, Su Ming suddenly opened the car door and jumped out.

"What the heck!"

Long Wu hurriedly stepped on the brake, parking the car by the roadside.

But by the time he got out, Su Ming had vanished.

"That rascal..."

Long Wu frowned, but soon shook it off.

"Definitely a mischievous kid; well, if you're always hiding behind a lady, you wouldn't be much of a man."

"Kid, what you decide to do is up to you."

Thinking of this, Long Wu shook his head and drove off.

After Long Wu left, Su Ming limped out of the bushes.

"Damn, I should've known this would be a pain, hurts like hell."

Rubbing his aching butt, Su Ming's gaze turned resolute.

"Lao Qiweng, you want to play me to death, let's see who plays whom!"
