"I thought you would never contact me again in this lifetime."

The woman leaned against a lamppost, twirling a cigarette pack between her fingers, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Speak, what do you want?"

"The organization has found me."

Li Mingdao.

The woman raised an eyebrow but didn't reply, waiting for her to continue.

Li Ming sighed, a pleading glint in her eyes: "I can't escape this anymore, so I want you to take Miaomiao away. If she continues to follow me, I'm afraid that person will find her."

"But you shouldn't have treated her like that tonight."

The woman turned around and looked at the window with the light on in the apartment building.

"Miaomiao has been living in fear for far too long by my side."

Li Ming murmured, her voice trembling, "I don't want her to continue like this. Perhaps... making her hate me, making her completely distance herself from me, is the only way she can stop being so cowardly and live a good life."

"So that's why you came to me?"

The woman scoffed, seemingly finding it ironic.

"Now, you're the only person I can trust."

Li Ming looked at her with earnest eyes.

Upon hearing this, the woman in the trench coat suddenly chuckled softly: "I haven't settled the score with you for almost killing me there back then and running away with this child."

"sorry."

Li Ming's lips moved, but in the end she only uttered these three words.

"I've waited more than a decade to say sorry to you."

The woman's smile faded, and she looked at her intently. "Li Ming, our feud is over. I will take her away. But you need to think carefully. Once you leave, you may never see her again. Are you willing to accept that?"

Li Ming suddenly fell silent. Images from the past few years flooded her mind.

Those times that she locked away with her illness now seem like nothing but thorns.

She remained silent for a long time.

Seeing her like this, the woman in the trench coat seemed to understand her struggle, so she didn't urge her any further and turned to walk towards the apartment building.

A moment later, she carried the unconscious Shao Miao downstairs.

The little girl's brows were furrowed, and even in her sleep, she carried a hint of unease.

As the woman in the trench coat walked past carrying Miaomiao, Li Ming felt a sharp pain in her heart. Finally, she couldn't help but speak, "I hope you can take her to live a normal life and stop her from suffering. If possible... please erase her memories of me."

The woman in the trench coat didn't stop walking, only to tossing back a few words from afar: "I will."

"besides……"

Li Ming's voice trembled with tears, "If possible, could you take her to Suzhou?"

The woman in the trench coat stopped and looked back at her, her eyes questioning.

"There...is someone she cares about." Li Ming's voice choked with emotion. "Let her go see him."

"Oh……"

The woman scoffed lightly, said nothing more, and quickly disappeared into the night while carrying Shao Miao.

Under the streetlights, only Li Ming remained. Gazing at the empty road ahead, she finally couldn't hold back any longer, squatted down, covered her face, and tears streamed down her face through her fingers.

"I'm sorry, Miaomiao... Mommy isn't a good mother..."

A cool evening breeze swept by, stirring up the fallen leaves on the ground.

Meanwhile, far away in Yandu City!

Although the turmoil that swept through the entire capital has subsided, the tense and oppressive atmosphere remains unchanged in a top-level conference room deep within the Mingyou Bureau.

Dressed in a plain white robe, surrounded by a chilling aura, Luo Shisan stood quietly in front of Ling Xing.

Compared to her composed demeanor, Pei Rou, standing behind him, was surrounded by a thick and chilling aura of bloodlust, her fingertips trembling slightly, as if she would not be able to resist launching an attack at any moment.

"For several whole days, your Mingyou Bureau still hasn't found a single trace of my brother?"

Luo Shisan's gaze was fixed on Ling Xing, and his cold voice, filled with a sense of oppression, slowly rang out.

Faced with this overwhelming pressure, Ling Xing felt a headache coming on and was filled with helplessness.

She never expected that these two terrifyingly powerful figures would suddenly emerge from the chaos that day.

In order to temporarily stabilize the two and prevent the situation from getting out of control again, she had no choice but to promise in person that she would do her best to find Luo Shisan's younger brother.

At the same time, orders were given to seal off all checkpoints and streets in Yandu and to mobilize all available manpower for a thorough search.

Just as Ling Xing was about to respond, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and Xie Ci walked in.

He immediately spotted the three people facing off inside the room. The invisible pressure in the air made him subconsciously hold his breath, and his steps quickened as he hurried to Ling Xing's side.

"That person has woken up."

Xie Ci said in a low voice.

These words also clearly reached Luo Shisan's ears.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately said, "Bring her here, I want to see her."

Ling Xing glanced at her, and although he had reservations, he did not refuse and nodded slightly.

"Senior Ling, someone from higher up has sent word that you need to come over."

Xie Ci added, his gaze quickly sweeping over Luo Shisan and Pei Rou with a hint of wariness.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xing slowly stood up and said to Xie Ci, "Go and arrange for someone to bring the one who is awake over."

After saying that, he left the conference room with Xie Ci.

The moment the two figures disappeared through the door, Pei Rou, who had been holding back for so long, could no longer contain herself. Her voice was filled with anxiety: "Luo Shisan, what exactly are you planning? The most important thing right now is to find my brother, not to waste time here with these people!"

Luo Shisan glanced at her indifferently, his expression calm and unwavering: "What's the panic? Shu Chou is in this city right now, but he's just isolated by a special force, so we can't find him for the time being."

"Since they're already in the city, why waste our time? I think we should just eliminate them and search for them ourselves!"

Pei Rou's eyes gleamed with intense killing intent, and her tone was full of malice.

Luo Shisan frowned slightly, his voice turning colder: "Can't you use your brain at all when you do things?"

"Unlike you, I only care about my brother's safety. If you don't want to get involved, then don't stop me, or I'll take you down with me."

After saying this, Pei Rou turned to leave.

Seeing her impulsiveness, Luo Shisan frowned and his tone turned serious: "Enough! If you go out and cause a scene, turning this place upside down, what do you think Shu Chou will think? You haven't done such a stupid thing yourself, but haven't you seen the consequences of Jiang Qianqiu's actions?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water, causing Pei Rou to pause in her steps.

The fierceness on her face faded somewhat, her small face drooped slightly, and her voice lowered: "But I can't just sit here and do nothing..."

Seeing her softened attitude, Luo Shisan's tone also softened: "If I'm not mistaken, the person who took Shu Chou away is the same kind of person as you and me. Such a being will show himself soon."

"So... we just keep waiting? What if something happens to him?"

Pei Rou still couldn't let go of her worries.

"Of course we won't just sit here and wait to die."

Luo Shisan sneered, "I have my own plan, which is better than you making things worse and pushing Shu Chou into an even more dangerous situation."

She paused, then added, "Besides, aren't we allies now? Since we're allies, you should put aside your temper and listen to my arrangements."

Pei Rou pursed her lips and ultimately did not refute, but the murderous aura around her still lingered.

Just then, the conference room door was pushed open again, and a woman dressed in red walked in.

She had a graceful figure and a languid charm in her eyes. As soon as she entered the room, she met Luo Shisan's gaze.

Luo Shisan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his powerful divine sense, like an invisible net, instantly enveloped him with an aggressive force.

With just one glance, she spotted another familiar soul emanating from the woman in red—it was Fifth Qinghan.

It was through Fifth Qinghan's message that they learned of the changes in Yandu.

As for the identity of the woman in red, although Luo Shisan had not fully figured it out, he already had some guesses in his mind.

Despite the overwhelming pressure from Luo Shisan's divine sense, Yu Linghuan remained calm and composed.

She walked gracefully to sit opposite Luo Shisan, gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and smiled sweetly: "I thought it would be Hu Baibai who came to see me first."

Upon hearing this, Luo Shisan and Pei Rou's expressions changed slightly at the same time.

"Who are you to Fox White?"

Pei Rou spoke first.

Yu Linghuan glanced at her, laughed, and then slowly said, "Me... I'm Fox White's mother."

The Fifth Qinghan, hidden deep within his soul: "..."
