The words "Classmate Qin" struck a nerve with Su Ning Shuang, making her jump up in disbelief.
Zhang Tian Guang was startled again.
Su Ning Shuang was already standing before the secretary, "What happened to Classmate Qin? Where is he?"
The secretary stammered, "Dean Su's office called with an urgent request for the City Lord to handle the matter at Ming Yue Xuan. It seems the Jian Tian Yuan has surrounded the hotel. They want to arrest that Classmate Qin."
Upon hearing this, Su Ning Shuang's face lit up with joy, "I'll handle this."
With that, she rushed out.
Zhang Tian Guang stood frozen, feeling something was amiss. Su Dan Novel Network.
He quickly used a dedicated line to contact Dean Su's office.
Trying to get through to the Grand Dean of the Imperial Capital's Jian Tian Yuan would normally take days, but Zhang Tian Guang, knowing his rank was insufficient, tried his luck.
To his surprise, the call went through directly.
Dean Su's secretary answered.
"Dean Su is en route to Chao Ge via a connecting flight due to urgent matters. If City Lord Zhang has something to report, perhaps you can speak with our Dean in person."
Zhang Tian Guang's heart skipped a beat, "Is that true?"
The call had already been disconnected from the other end.
There was nothing he could do; the headquarters in the Imperial Capital handled thousands of calls daily and had no time for unnecessary chatter.
Zhang Tian Guang's eyes flickered with thought.
He was no fool, but an exceptionally capable individual, which was why he had been transferred to the important post in Chao Ge.
Previously, the Provincial Governor had brought all the city heads, including himself, to visit Dean Su Bing Yan.
Their purpose was to request the Dean's assistance in resolving issues in Chao Ge.
The outcome had been favorable, as the Dean had sent her most capable sister to assist.
However!
Today, the situation where a "Classmate Qin" was being surrounded had prompted Dean Su Bing Yan herself to rush over, using a private jet in her haste.
What did that signify?
It meant that Classmate Qin's importance was even greater!
"Secretary Liu, prepare the car immediately. We're going to Ming Yue Xuan as well."
"Oh, City Lord, it's just around the corner. Getting a car will be too slow. I'll take you on my bicycle."
Good!
Zhang Tian Guang was not one for ceremony, and his subordinates knew him to be pragmatic.
They rode their bicycles at full speed towards Ming Yue Xuan.
Meanwhile, Su Ning Shuang was already on the phone with her sister as she ran.
"I'm on the plane, this is a secure line. Don't worry. I haven't told you about your brother-in-law..." Su Bing Yan's voice was laced with helplessness.
Su Ning Shuang panted as she ran, "Why has the Jian Tian Yuan surrounded my brother-in-law? Sister, why didn't you directly order the Chao Ge Jian Tian Yuan, but instead issued instructions to City Lord Zhang?"
Su Bing Yan said calmly over the phone, "I am heading to Chao Ge now precisely to deal with all the local Jian Tian Yuan personnel! Do you understand? I'll wipe them all out, leave no one behind. That's why I couldn't alert them."
Su Ning Shuang understood. She hung up the phone and suddenly stopped.
Patting her chest, she suddenly smiled, "What was I worried about? Is there anything in this world my brother-in-law can't handle?"
She had simply been too agitated. The thought of seeing her brother-in-law again, the feeling of excitement and joy, had made her forget Qin Ye Xuan's capabilities.
Su Ning Shuang slowed her pace, contemplating what to say when they met.
But for some reason, her mind was blank, filled only with happiness.
Ahead, the sounds of commotion grew louder.
The main doors of Ming Yue Xuan had been smashed open. Not only had the Jian Tian Yuan arrived, but police personnel were also gathered, and even snipers were positioned on a building opposite.
Su Ning Shuang became furious and charged towards Ming Yue Xuan.
The surrounding cordon could not stop her.
Inside the hotel, the Jian Tian Yuan's special guards and police officers had surrounded Qin Ye Xuan, and the scene was chaotic.
The local police chief had personally arrived and was speaking with the Song family uncle, smiling.
After Su Ning Shuang rushed in, she couldn't even find her brother-in-law.
Her brow furrowed, she drew her weapon and shot through the main chandelier.
A gasp of shock swept through the room as everyone turned to look.
When they saw the uniform Su Ning Shuang was wearing, the three imperial silver stars, they were all stunned.
The Song family uncle was even more flustered.
Wasn't that Minister Su? Dean Su's own sister!
The Song family uncle, his pants practically soiled, scurried over, greeting her obsequiously from afar.
The First Madam and Song Wen Long followed closely, their faces filled with anticipation.
Su Ning Shuang's gaze swept past these people and finally landed on the young man.
She couldn't believe it at first glance and rubbed her eyes vigorously.
Even though he had become so young, the aura in his eyes was unmistakable.
Su Ning Shuang almost cried out in joy, her feet moving as if to embrace him.
Qin Ye Xuan was also surprised to see Ning Shuang here. She was one of the children the Su sisters cherished the most.
Seeing Ning Shuang's excited expression, Qin Ye Xuan quickly raised his hand, signaling that the situation was too chaotic to be convenient.
Su Ning Shuang took deep breaths, steadying her emotions.
But for some reason, her nose felt a sting, and a wave of grievances surged through her, making her eyes well up.
Ah!
Everyone on the other side stared dumbfounded.
Why, why was the dignified Minister Su suddenly so heartbroken?
The Song family uncle felt this was a golden opportunity. Meeting the Dean's sister meant he would have a connection for future promotion and wealth.
The First Madam, along with Song Wen Long, desperately grabbed his sleeve, pleading anxiously, "Introduce Wen Long. Where else would we get a chance to meet such high-ranking officials from our small town?"
Song Wen Long fidgeted, scratching his head. If he could meet Minister Su, even just for a meal or a photo, it would be an immense asset.
Everyone present was focused on Su Ning Shuang.
But Su Ning Shuang's eyes could not leave the man she had longed for.
No, she should call him a young man now.
Qin Ye Xuan stood at a distance and offered Ning Shuang a smile she knew well.
It was as gentle as spring rain nourishing the land, and as tolerant as a gentle breeze.
Su Ning Shuang thought of her longing over these past days, and the empty Su family house, and finally, unable to hold back, tears streamed down her face.
