"Sir Li, I'm here to see you." Wu Mengting called out with a gentle smile as soon as she entered.

Li Hongliang was taken aback for a moment, then slightly raised his head. Seeing it was Wu Mengting, he was pleasantly surprised, quickly stood up, and walked over briskly.

"Oh, Mengting, why didn't you notify me ahead of time? I could have sent Mr. Qi to pick you up." Li Hongliang was as courteous as ever, treating Wu Mengting like his own granddaughter.

It's a pity his granddaughter already has someone in her heart; otherwise, he would have really wanted to introduce her to his grandson, Li Ming.

After all, why let fertile water flow out of one's own field? Who wouldn't want to keep good things within the family?

"Hehe, no need for that. I know the way. I wanted to surprise you!" Wu Mengting smiled slightly, revealing two lovely dimples.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, her expression turned a bit grim, and her eyebrows subconsciously furrowed slightly.

This sudden change in expression didn't escape Hao Ren's eyes. After all, he was an old hand in officialdom, accustomed to observing people's reactions, so he quickly noticed Wu Mengting's change.

Could it be that Wu Mengting had a breakup?

Otherwise, why would she come alone, carrying a hint of sadness?

"Mengting, where is your young man? Why didn't he come with you?" Li Hongliang probed on purpose.

"Sigh!"

Hearing this, Wu Mengting took a deep breath. Faced with such a situation, she didn't know where to start. After all, it required Sir Li to use his connections, which was not something Mr. Qi could easily handle.

As Wu Liao's girlfriend, she felt quite embarrassed to bring it up.

"Go on, did that rascal make you mad again? I'll give him a good talking-to next time." Elder Li truly thought that Chen Tianlong had wronged Wu Mengting, perhaps breaking up with her, and he started scolding.

Wu Mengting was quite embarrassed and hurriedly shook her head. "No, Sir Li, you've misunderstood. Chen Tianlong... he's in trouble!"

"Oh? What happened?"

Seeing Wu Mengting's expression, it seemed like something serious had happened. Otherwise, with Wu Mengting's character, she wouldn't visit him so easily: "If there's anything I can help with, just say it. After all, Chen Tianlong once saved my life."

"Yes, Sir Li, please, Chen Tianlong he…."

At this point, Wu Mengting's tears flowed down uncontrollably. Even though the two hadn't reconciled yet, she could feel that Chen Tianlong didn't truly want to leave her; it was just a misunderstanding.

"Mengting, good child, don't cry. Tell me what's going on first." Elder Li had already realized that it must be something significant involving Chen Tianlong.

"Chen Tianlong was arrested by the police, and I heard it's severe. It seems someone from the Mo Family died, and they're framing Chen Tianlong for it."

Wu Mengting said this, wiping her tears, and continued: "But I believe Chen Tianlong couldn't have killed anyone. He's always careful in what he does. Officer Zhang also told me that Chen Tianlong never admitted to murder and kept saying he was framed."

"Hmm, I basically understand. Don't worry." Elder Li quickly comforted her.

This issue was no trivial matter, involving a homicide with the Mo Family. If it were anyone else, he might not need to act, but with Lin Batian backing Chen Tianlong and still unable to handle it, it must be very tricky.

"Sir Li, you must help me. I'm willing to do anything in return." Wu Mengting pleaded.

"Don't say foolish things, like doing anything. We are family. Don't worry, I know what to do."

After saying this, Elder Li stood up and started walking outside, but suddenly thought of something. He stopped and said, "Mengting, do you know that Chen Tianlong has a token? It's what I gave him last time."

"What's wrong, Sir Li?" Wu Mengting was puzzled and asked.

"That token is very important. You need to find it and hand it to Lin Batian, so he can use that token to smooth things over." Elder Li explained, "I need to go somewhere with Mr. Qi. If you don't mind, I'll let Li Ming accompany you for a while."

"Oh, no need, Elder Li. I'm not in the mood to play right now. Besides, I have to get back to deal with things." Wu Mengting originally wanted to rest for a while, but hearing Elder Li mention his grandson, she immediately wanted to leave.

She didn't want to have anything more to do with any man; otherwise, if Chen Tianlong found out and misunderstood, it would be disastrous.

Elder Li saw Wu Mengting's intention, so he nodded and smoothly sent Wu Mengting back to school.

After Wu Mengting returned to school, she immediately called Lin Wushuang, got Lin Batian's number, and informed him of the situation. Mr. Hu promptly drove to the school to pick her up.

Half an hour later, Wu Mengting appeared in the visitor room of the police station. At this moment, her heart was pounding. Although the two had been together for so long, meeting after not yet reconciling made Wu Mengting inexplicably nervous.

But at the first sight of Wu Mengting, Chen Tianlong felt a real urge to rush forward and hug her, but he didn't.

"Mengting, you... you know everything."

"Hmph, such a big thing happened. How could I not know?"

Wu Mengting appeared very angry, but she immediately took a deep breath, pouted her lips, and said gently, "Chen Tianlong, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you back then. Later, Liu Ting told me that she was your long-lost junior sister."

This was what Liu Ting had said, but it was a lie. Previously, Chen Tianlong didn't even know she was his junior sister. But all of this wasn't the point; the point was, Chen Tianlong truly loved Wu Mengting.

"Mengting, I... you and Xu Fei…"

"That day, Xu Fei came to cancel the engagement. I don't know the specific reason, so what you saw that day wasn't what you thought."

Wu Mengting didn't want to explain their misunderstanding in such a short ten-minute visitation: "Alright, Chen Tianlong, we'll talk about our issues later. Now, I have an important question for you, where did you put the token Sir Li gave you?"

"Token?" Chen Tianlong was puzzled.

"Yes, the token. It might be the only hope to get you out." Wu Mengting's expression turned serious, fearing that Chen Tianlong might say it was missing.

"Hehe, it's in the cabinet in my dormitory." Chen Tianlong found Wu Mengting's nervous expression very cute, making him want to kiss her.

Wu Mengting suddenly looked up and saw Chen Tianlong smiling at her, glancing at her front a few times, which made her blush instantly. She said, "Chen Tianlong, at such a critical moment, how can you still laugh... and..."

She was too embarrassed to finish her sentence. However, at this moment, she really hoped that Chen Tianlong could come out of the police station immediately and give her a proper hug.

"Hehe, they say a smile takes ten years off. As long as Mengting cares about me, even if I go to jail, I won't be afraid." Chen Tianlong spoke sincerely, seeing that the two had already reconciled, Chen Tianlong felt very at ease.

Wu Mengting checked the time, only one minute was left.

She glanced around the room to see if there were any cameras. Chen Tianlong noticed her actions, hurriedly stood up, and in a flash, hugged Wu Mengting tightly.

"Wait for me..."
