No one dared to question it.
Even less dared to force their way through the checkpoint.
The special task force of the State Protection Department, protecting the Grand Leader, their orders were paramount. If anyone dared to barge through, they would be shot.
Helpless.
The dignitaries retreated. wap.kanshu伍.net
At this moment, Commander Chu was helped up. The newly appointed Mayor Li Yan, along with a group of officials, rushed towards Commander Chu. They had to devise a countermeasure.
The Chu family wedding could no longer proceed.
The current problem was:
How to salvage the situation today?
The entire city of Beihai knew that Commander Chu was going to publicly eliminate Ye Zixiao today, even planning to destroy the Lin family. But now, with Lei Guo'an present, who would dare to move against Ye Zixiao and the Lin family?
They were afraid of dying now.
But what about Old Chu!
“Old Li, stop researching the wedding, we might be in trouble. You immediately follow me to pay respects to the leader. Damn it, this is going to kill me, how could this happen?”
Commander Chu was in a state of utter panic.
His first priority was to pay respects to Lei Guo'an.
The Chief of General Staff of the Dragon Country's Military Commission had arrived. As a local commander, how could he dare to be negligent? Moreover, Commander Chu and Li Yan were not clean; their illicit businesses would be exposed with a single investigation.
No time to change clothes.
Commander Chu, with a wet crotch, led Li Yan and a group of officials, scurrying across the ribbon. Ignoring everyone's gaze, they headed straight for Lei Guo'an's location.
“Stop, no approaching.”
The guard company commander blocked the way, his hands clasped behind his back.
“Hello, I need to see Leader Lei.”
Commander Chu was utterly devoid of dignity at this moment.
“Who are you?”
“I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Beihai City Garrison!”
“Commander? The commander who wet himself?”
“I, you…”
Commander Chu was furious upon hearing this, but he dared not retort. Even though the person opposite was just a guard company commander, he was the guard company commander of the Chief of General Staff. Who would dare to be presumptuous!
“Leader, Leader Lei!”
Commander Chu became anxious, hopping with urgency as he shouted towards Lei Guo'an’s location: “Leader, it’s Little Chu! I took your class, Leader, I have something to say, please listen to my explanation!”
No response.
Lei Guo'an, not far away, didn't even lift his head.
“Leader…”
“You shut up!”
Commander Chu tried to shout again, but was directly cursed at by the guard company commander. The commander, holding his pistol, said, “The Leader is discussing important matters and is not seeing anyone. Retreat, retreat immediately.”
“I need to see the Leader.”
“Sir, please help us!”
“Please help inform him!”
Commander Chu’s subordinates also became anxious.
Bang—
The guard company commander suddenly fired his weapon.
The bullet was fired into the sky, but it shocked the entire venue with a single shot. He pointed his gun at Commander Chu’s head and said sternly, “Retreat ten steps immediately, or the next shot will be at your head.”
Commander Chu was stunned!
The officials were all in a panic!
No one had expected that at a wedding scene filled with so many important figures, a guard company commander would dare to fire a shot! What did this mean? It meant that Lei Guo'an had tacitly approved!
“Retreat!”
“If you don’t retreat, we will open fire.”
“Retreat immediately.”
A row of guards raised their guns in unison.
Looking at the muzzles of the submachine guns, Commander Chu was dejected. As the commander of over a hundred thousand regular troops under his command, at this moment, he retreated without any temper.
“Commander, what do we do?”
“Commander, the situation is bad!”
“Is the leader coming for us?”
After retreating, Commander Chu's subordinate generals all showed nervous expressions. They felt that this hurdle today would be difficult to overcome.
Commander Chu had a secret.
A secret that even Li Yan did not know.
That was, Commander Chu and Xiao Bahuang of Jiangcheng had secretly colluded with the army of the Sunset Country. They had been plotting a major event: to find an opportunity to launch a war.
War between the two countries.
Beihai City would be the first to bear the brunt.
Such a beheading-worthy matter, such treason, was definitely highly classified. But the sudden arrival of the Chief of General Staff of the State Protection Department likely meant that this matter had been exposed.
“Everyone, don’t panic, stay calm!”
Commander Chu first comforted his subordinates, then led his team backstage. In front of a few confidants, he dialed a number and said impatiently, “The matter might have been exposed.”
“Did Lei Guo’an really go?”
Xiao Bahuang on the other end asked urgently.
“Yes, he’s here!”
“Could he just be attending the wedding?”
“Impossible!”
Commander Chu paused, gritted his teeth, and said, “I suspect the problem lies with Lin Dong. He appears to be a nobody, but he is from the intelligence department, possibly even a superior officer.”
“Lin Dong? Could it be him?”
“Old Xiao, regardless of whether Lin Dong leaked the information or not, my intention to kill Ye Zixiao today was public. Now that Lei Guo'an is here, he definitely won’t let me off.”
“Then what do you suggest we do?”
“Start the war early!”
“Old Chu, you need to think carefully. Once the arrow is shot, there’s no turning back. My Xiao family controls a city, so we have a fallback, but you are different. Once you start fighting, you’ll be locked in.”
“Of course, I understand!”
Commander Chu’s expression turned sinister.
He trembled as he lit a cigarette, thought for a moment, and said fiercely, “It’s settled. You contact the Sunset Country and prepare to attack at any time. As for Lei Guo'an, I will abduct him.”
At the wedding venue.
In the crowded formation of the Lin family, it was now silent. Everyone was excited because they were lucky, they had sided with the Lin family, they had chosen Ye Zixiao.
Ye Zixiao was now extraordinary.
His guests were unparalleled!
“The auspicious time has arrived!”
The wedding, in a typical Dragon Country style, began.
The MC, dressed in festive attire, nervously took the stage. First, he invited the elders of the Lin family, and then, as instructed, he invited three beautiful women.
One was Jiang Xiaoyao.
One was Han Shuang.
One was Luo Meixi.
These three women seemed to have no significant connection, but unbeknownst to others, they were all Ye Zixiao’s senior sisters. Since Ye Zixiao had no elders present, his senior sisters had to stand in.
The Lin family elders sat on one side.
The three beauties sat on the other side.
This arrangement confused not only the audience but also the Lin family! The Lin family couldn't understand why these three beautiful women could act as the groom's elders.
It was rumored.
Ye Zixiao was a kept man.
He was the kept man of Jiang Xiaoyao, Tang Keke, and the richest man Han Shuang. Now Tang Keke was not on stage, but Luo Meixi had appeared. Could Ye Zixiao also be Luo Meixi’s kept man?
Just as countless people were speculating.
The wedding had already begun.
“Please invite the bride and groom to the stage.”
The MC’s voice was still somewhat nervous.
This wedding was initially just a formality. But with so many important figures present, it couldn't be treated too casually; at least the necessary procedures had to be completed.
Amidst thunderous applause.
The newlyweds ascended the stage.
Ye Zixiao and Lin Qingzhu were both wearing typical Hanfu ceremonial attire. Ye Zixiao had a large red flower pinned to his chest, looking somewhat comical. In contrast, Lin Qingzhu was breathtakingly beautiful.
“Are you ready?”
The MC whispered to Ye Zixiao.
“Ready for what, I’m still bewildered!”
Ye Zixiao was also a bit nervous.
Originally, Ye Zixiao had expected that the Chu and Li families might make a move beforehand, and the wedding might not even take place. After the confrontation, the battle would be one of killing prowess.
But now.
The Chu family had already cancelled their wedding.
The Lin family was put on the spot, and the atmosphere had been built up to this point. Ye Zixiao, the unreliable live-in son-in-law, was actually going to perform the wedding ceremony with Lin Qingzhu.
“Kneel!”
The MC shouted in a louder voice.
Thump!
The bride, Lin Qingzhu, immediately knelt down.
“What the hell, is she that impatient?”
Ye Zixiao stared with wide, surprised eyes.
