"Does your police station even care about what’s reasonable? As the victim, I haven’t agreed to a settlement, so why did you let him go?"
Li Minghao looked defiantly at Wen Yichen and started shouting loudly in the police station.
"Because I’m his brother-in-law."
Lu Jinghan walked up to Li Minghao with his hands in his pockets, exuding the presence of a powerful man, making everyone feel a sense of awe.
Li Minghao’s family is also in business, so he naturally knows who Lu Jinghan is and instantly quieted down.
"I apologize for the inconvenience, Mr. Lu, sorry to trouble you to come personally," the police officer greeted Lu Jinghan politely.
Lu Jinghan nodded slightly: "If there’s nothing else, I’ll take him away."
"All the procedures are complete, you can take him now."
Wen Yichen turned around and grabbed Li Minghao’s collar, speaking coolly and calmly: "Apologize to Qin Mi immediately."
Li Minghao glanced at Lu Jinghan, and although he was unwilling, he didn’t dare act out. After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally apologized.
After leaving the police station, Wen Yichen drove Qin Mi home. After getting out of the car, Qin Mi turned to look at Wen Yichen through the open car window: "Thank you for saving me just now."
Wen Yichen smiled and nodded: "Hurry inside."
Watching Qin Mi enter the villa, Wen Yichen drove away.

The next day at the hospital, Han Xi finished surgery and changed clothes before heading back to her office. Just as she sat down on the sofa, her phone rang from the pocket of her lab coat. She took a look at the screen; it was a WeChat message from Tong Ze saying that she must attend the class reunion tonight.
Li Manman and Chu Ci also received the messages. This group of college classmates hadn’t gathered for years, so this was indeed a rare opportunity.
Li Manman rubbed her sleepy eyes and turned off her phone. Just as she sat up in bed, she saw Feng Yi standing by the floor-to-ceiling window: "When did you get here?"
"I came over in the morning. I didn’t want to wake you since you were still asleep."
Feng Yi extinguished the cigarette he was holding, picked up a large bouquet of roses from the sofa, and strode over to the bedside: "Don’t be mad, I promise I’ll never leave you again."
Feng Yi hadn’t slept much the previous night, calling Lu Jinghan and Fu Bin in the middle of the night to ask how to win Manman over, and they devised this plan for him.
Li Manman casually tied up her slightly messy hair and placed the flowers on the nightstand: "Thank you for the flowers."
"So, have you forgiven me?"
"We’ve already broken up, so it doesn’t really matter whether I forgive you or not. You should hurry to work, and later I also have some things to deal with."
With casual indifference, Li Manman tossed aside the blanket, got out of bed, and walked toward the bathroom with a faint smile on her unadorned face.
Feng Yi hugged Li Manman from behind, his tired voice hoarse: "I know I’ve made mistakes, please don’t break up with me."
Li Manman’s heart was no better off than Feng Yi’s; she didn’t want to break up either, but she couldn’t accept the man she loved so desperately having a soft spot for another woman.
"Please don’t come looking for me here anymore; I’m going to wash up now."
Li Manman forcefully pushed Feng Yi’s hand away, ran into the bathroom, and locked the door from the inside. As soon as the door closed, tears started to fall.
It’s unclear how long she stayed inside until she heard the sound of the door closing and finally emerged from the bathroom.
