Wu Mei's eyes swept over Lin Mingmo several times before she realized why Sheng Yuan hadn't come often recently.

Not bad. She cast an admiring glance at Lin Mingmo.

There is no bad woman that Sheng Yuan likes.

After Wu Mei left, Sheng Yuan asked Lin Mingmo nonchalantly, "Shall I take you home?"

Lin Mingmo shook her head and refused.

She should keep her distance from Sheng Yuan. Rumors are scary.

Just when Lin Mingmo was about to leave, her cell phone vibrated.

Lin Mingmo picked up the phone and heard Yao Yuhui's heartbreaking roar, "Mingmo! Your father has been taken away! Think of a solution quickly!"

She felt a chill all over her body, and her mind went blank for a moment, not knowing how to react.

Taken away? By whom? What happened?

For a moment, too many doubts flooded into Lin Mingmo's mind and she was confused.

Yao Yuhui's voice came through the receiver, and Sheng Yuan also heard some of it.

Seeing Lin Mingmo stunned, he took Lin Mingmo's phone with a sullen face, put it to his ear, and spoke calmly, "I'm Sheng Yuan, don't be anxious, talk slowly."

Yao Yuhui was stunned for a moment before she realized who Sheng Yuan was.

She is an ordinary woman, and her first reaction when encountering big things is to cry.

But Sheng Yuan still managed to unravel the truth from her intermittent crying.

Lin Mingmo's father, Lin Lidong, was taken away for investigation because of a report from Qiancheng Company.

Sheng Yuan comforted Yao Yuhui with a few words. His deliberately lowered voice had a magical power that gradually calmed Yao Yuhui down.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the pale-faced Lin Mingmo with a bit more sympathy in his eyes.

If Lin Mingmo hadn't been burdened by her family, she wouldn't have experienced all these absurd things.

"Get in the car and go to the police station." Sheng Yuan made a quick decision.

Lin Mingmo was in a state of disarray, almost becoming a puppet being led by Sheng Yuan.

Lin Mingmo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hugged herself tightly, but still couldn't help shaking.

While driving, Sheng Yuan paid attention to Lin Mingmo's condition.

Fortunately, he remained calm and drove fast and steadily.

The two arrived at the police station and found Lu Cheng there.

But they were not surprised.

Lu Cheng was surprised that Lin Mingmo came by herself before he contacted her, but he was even more surprised that Sheng Yuan was there too.

This was the third time he had seen the two together.

"Mr. Sheng...Mr. Sheng?" Lu Cheng called out in panic.

Lin Mingmo's anger and fear had not subsided. She hid behind Sheng Yuan and did not confront Lu Cheng head-on.

Sheng Yuan smiled calmly and extended his hand towards Lu Cheng. "I heard that the Lin family and the Lu family have a bad relationship and are on the verge of a showdown. Now I have seen it for myself."

The three of them sat down in the mediation room and had a good talk.

Lu Cheng lowered his head and shamelessly explained, "When Lin Lidong left Qiancheng, he took away our technical secrets and key employees. He has also been secretly engaging in unfair competition over the years... We are just protecting our own rights!"

"It's been almost twenty years, and you're only bringing this up now." Sheng Yuan said with a half-smile on his face, "Do you have any concerns?"

Lu Cheng could clearly feel that Sheng Yuan was biased towards the Lin family.

His face darkened. "This has nothing to do with you. This is a matter between our Lu and Lin families!"

"If it had happened a few months earlier, it really wouldn't have anything to do with me." Sheng Yuan said indifferently, "But now that the Lin and Sheng families are married, I can't just stand by and watch."

Lu Cheng gritted his teeth.

He just wanted to use Lin Lidong to threaten Lin Mingmo to submit to him.

Lu Chenghe understood Lin Mingmo and knew that her biggest weakness was her family. Once her family was involved, he would do anything for her, even if it meant going through fire and water.

But what about Sheng Yuan? Why did he interfere?

No matter how much Lu Cheng longed for Lin Mingmo, he did not dare to break up with the Sheng family.

The entire mediation room was filled with silence, and the breathing of the three people could be clearly heard.

"Lin Mingmo, you..." Lu Cheng squeezed out a few dry words from his throat, feeling very blocked in his heart.

At this time, Lin Mingmo's mood had calmed down a lot. She sat up straight and stared at Lu Cheng.

"Lu Cheng, my dad has a heart disease and can't stand this kind of torture..." Lin Mingmo choked.

Her eyes were red and her eyeballs, washed by tears, were sparkling.

"Besides, my father and your father have already reached a settlement on these matters. How can you do this again now..."

Lu Cheng clasped his hands tightly on the table and exerted force secretly.

"Lin Mingmo, you're truly capable. Not only did you marry Sheng Yang, you also brought the womanizing Sheng Yuan under your wing..." Lu Cheng deliberately used a contemptuous tone to provoke Lin Mingmo. "He's helped you so much, how many times are you going to repay him with your body?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Mingmo was furious, veins on his forehead bulged and his temples throbbed wildly.

If there wasn't a table blocking her way, she would really rush over and beat up that bastard Lu Cheng.

Sheng Yuan grabbed her sleeve and pulled her back.

"Calm down, leave it to me." He whispered in a voice that only Lin Mingmo could hear.

Lin Mingmo stared blankly at Sheng Yuan's profile, his trembling long eyelashes, his high nose bridge... and her mood calmed down.

Lin Mingmo took a deep breath, leaned back in her chair, and silently watched everything in front of her.

"Lu Cheng, are you challenging me?" Sheng Yuan's tone was calm, but his sharp eyes almost saw through Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng's expression changed almost immediately, and he said with an apologetic smile, "Mr. Sheng, I was just joking."

Sheng Yuan's fingers tapped randomly on the table, and he said impatiently, "I'm not in the mood to joke with you."

"Let's end this matter here and don't make it a big deal. Withdraw your accusation, and I won't pursue the matter for that stupid thing you did." Sheng Yuan made the final decision.

This was his concession.

If Lu Cheng doesn't back down, the conflict will only escalate, and by then, both the Lu and Lin families will probably suffer losses.

Sheng Yuan stared into Lu Cheng's eyes, thinking that although Lu Cheng acted rashly, he should also understand this principle.

Although Lu Cheng did not achieve his original goal, he did get an unexpected surprise.

It’s not bad to be able to take the opportunity to resolve this matter.

He pretended to be embarrassed and thought about it for a long time before nodding helplessly.

"Mr. Sheng, I won't pursue this matter for your sake." Lu Cheng stood up and his eyes fell on Lin Mingmo. "Please also tell Uncle Lin not to do anything shameful in the future."

Lin Mingmo bit her lower lip, holding her breath, but could only nod.

She had no idea what Lin Lidong had done or what evidence the Lu family had on him.

She just hoped that this wouldn't happen again.

Lu Cheng signed the document and left, and Lin Lidong was also allowed to leave after a routine investigation.

From beginning to end, Sheng Yuan and Lin Mingmo never appeared in front of Lin Lidong.

Sheng Yuan didn't want to cause trouble, but Lin Mingmo was tired.

When she walked out of the police station, it was already late at night. A breeze blew, ruffling Lin Mingmo's long hair.

Although there were some twists and turns today, it was finally calm.

"Thank you for your help." Lin Mingmo expressed her gratitude and bowed deeply to Sheng Yuan.

"Is that just a dry thank you?" Sheng Yuan smiled faintly.

Lin Mingmo was stunned, subconsciously hugged her arms and shook her head gently.

Lu Cheng went through all this trouble for her health. If she sacrificed herself to repay Sheng Yuan for saving her...

Sheng Yuan saw her resistance and his eyes were covered with mist.

He secretly clenched his hands in his trouser pockets, raised his head, and looked at the cold crescent moon in the dark sky. He couldn't help but think to himself with self-mockery, is he the only one who can't forget that night?
