In fact, Su Ming also noticed that Shen Mengxue's emotions were a bit off, but he had no way to help.

He saw all the efforts Shen Mengxue had made.

All he could do was to ensure that no woman would be wronged.

It seemed that once everything settled, he should find some time to accompany the boss lady.

Putting down the phone, Shen Mengxue took a few deep breaths to adjust her mood.

Anyway, now that Su Ming was fine, it was a good thing.

Thinking of this, Shen Mengxue planned to share the good news with Shen Tenglong.

During this time, Shen Tenglong had been busy trying to help Su Ming by reaching out to many connections.

Although most of them didn't dare to commit, their efforts were genuine.

At this moment, Shen Mengxue's phone rang again.

Upon answering, the caller identified themselves as being from the Longcheng Public Security Bureau.

She thought they wanted to ask about Su Ming's whereabouts again, considering they had called her numerous times over the past few days.

They even planned to have someone monitor Shen Mengxue 24/7.

However, the request was directly vetoed from above.

This time, to Shen Mengxue's surprise, they wanted her to go in for a statement.

They said that Su Ming's case was now clear, and he was not guilty, as the killing was in self-defense.

Now, they just needed to complete the documentation, and there would be no issues.

"Okay, then, I'll head over now."

After hanging up, a slight smile appeared on Shen Mengxue's lips.

Earlier when Su Ming talked to her, she didn't really feel this way.

But now, after receiving the call from the Public Security Bureau, Shen Mengxue truly felt that the matter was over.

She rushed out eagerly, not wanting to waste a second.

Upon opening the door, she bumped right into Shen Tenglong.

"Oh dear, you silly girl."

In recent days, Shen Mengxue had been in a poor mood, shutting herself in almost every day.

Shen Tenglong saw this and felt deep pain in his heart.

However, there was nothing he could do; too many people were involved in Su Ming's matter.

Even though Su Ming acted to save his daughter, he also felt that this approach was problematic.

As a father, Shen Tenglong didn't know how to comfort his daughter.

So he planned to check on her and see if she wanted to have anything to eat tonight.

Unexpectedly, this happened instead.

It almost gave his old heart a fright.

Seeing Shen Tenglong, Shen Mengxue's face lit up with joy.

"Dad, it's great! Su Ming is fine, his case has been dropped!"

Saying this, Shen Mengxue hurriedly left.

Standing there in confusion, Shen Tenglong was baffled.

"What? Su Ming's case was dropped?"

This left him puzzled, for a normal murder case, such a resolution seemed overly simple.

Since it involved Lao Qiweng's brother, Lao Qiming, how could someone like Lao Qiweng let it go so easily?

After pondering for a while, he decided to take out his phone and call a friend.

This friend of his was also a key figure in handling Su Ming's case.

However, to avoid suspicion, Shen Tenglong hadn't contacted him until now.

Upon hearing Shen Tenglong's inquiry, a definite answer came from the other end.

"Su Ming's case has been dropped."

"Dropped? Could it be that Lao Qiweng withdrew the lawsuit? What's going on? How come I know nothing about this?"

Shen Tenglong was confused, being a deputy mayor, yet his daughter was the one who informed him of this news.

"It's complicated."

The other side paused, seemingly contemplating how to explain the situation.

But after much thought, they still couldn't figure it out.

"Anyway, I'll tell you this: someone put pressure on the people backing Lao Qiweng, and a lot of evidence was discovered. Lastly, Lao Qiweng has voluntarily resigned, so the case just came to an end."

Hearing the response, Shen Tenglong's expression turned to one of surprise.

He had always thought Su Ming was just an ordinary person.

Even if he had some background, it was within his control.

But now, it seemed that Su Ming was supported by a more powerful force.

That power was certainly greater than his own.

Indeed, definitely stronger than his own.

Because, even with all his might, he couldn't have Su Ming's case dismissed.

But the person behind Su Ming could.

"Alright, when I have time, I'll come find you, and we'll have a meal."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Tenglong sat on the sofa with a serious expression.

At this moment, Jiang Qingyao came over.

"What's the matter? Why so serious? Where's Mengxue? Call her down to eat, too."

Shen Tenglong looked at Jiang Qingyao and sighed.

"Su Ming's case has been dismissed."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Jiang Qingyao's face.

"Really? That's wonderful, now Mengxue won't shut herself in her room every day anymore."

In recent times, it wasn't just Shen Tenglong who felt for Mengxue; so did Jiang Qingyao.

But as a fellow woman, Jiang Qingyao knew that only Su Ming's safety would matter now; otherwise, it would be useless no matter who said what.

"Since Su Ming is alright, why do you still look so serious?"

Faced with Jiang Qingyao's inquiry, Shen Tenglong's lips twitched a few times, and he helplessly said, "The person who resolved this issue is the person behind Su Ming, and Su Ming's backing is quite strong. I originally thought he was an ordinary person, but unexpectedly..."

Shen Tenglong didn't say everything, but Jiang Qingyao understood what concerned him.

If it were before, Shen Tenglong could rely on his status and position to suppress Su Ming.

At least when Su Ming and Shen Mengxue were together, there would be no ulterior motives, preventing harm to Mengxue.

But now, knowing that Su Ming has a more powerful force backing him,

Shen Tenglong's concern was his daughter.

"Mengxue has already experienced a failed marriage; I don't want her to get hurt again."

"If necessary, I could even support her for a lifetime."

To a father, a daughter is always a tender concern.

Past matters didn't matter much, but now, from this moment on, he couldn't let anything happen to Shen Mengxue.

Jiang Qingyao came to Shen Tenglong's side and gently held his hand.

"Don't you know your daughter? Her temperament is just like yours. Would she listen to anything you say to her now? You saw it yourself a few days ago; Mengxue is deeply attached to Su Ming, and forcibly separating them would only be counterproductive."

"Moreover, Su Ming killed for your daughter, just that point alone makes you unjust in every aspect."

"In my opinion, let the children have their own fortunes, you don't need to interfere."

Shen Tenglong wanted to say something, but Jiang Qingyao put her finger on his lips to stop him.

"Alright, let's go eat."

After thinking for a while, Shen Tenglong nodded.

"Yes, let the children have their own fortunes. Let's take things one step at a time."
