Bai Xi looked at Han Mo earnestly and said, "What you're saying makes me feel like I owe you too much. Is there anything you want? As long as I have it, I can give it all to you."
Han Mo smiled and said, "I only want you."
However, his time was running out. Even every minute, every second, as long as he could stand by her side... he felt it was incredibly precious.
Thinking of this, his gaze towards Bai Xi became more ardent.
Bai Xi looked at his eyes, which seemed to be filled with high-proof alcohol, and felt her face flush and her heart pound. She shyly turned her head away.
Meanwhile, Wang Yang, as he landed, stepped directly onto the head of one of Qian Qin's subordinates.
The person underfoot immediately reached out to grab him. Unexpectedly, Wang Yang gave a slight push, and the person instantly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Everyone watching this scene was stunned.
As Wang Yang landed, he slightly raised his hand towards Han Mo and said faintly, "Master, it was my fault. Thinking that today is Master's joyous occasion, I removed all defenses, assuming anyone passing by could come in for a drink. It was meant as a celebration for everyone, bringing universal joy. I didn't expect to inadvertently let in a dog, disturbing Master's mood and spoiling the guests' enjoyment."
The main thing was he hadn't anticipated anyone would dare to cause trouble at this wedding.
Han Mo said calmly, "Make it quick."
His and Xi'er's time, every minute, every second, should not be wasted on random people.
With his words, Wang Yang directly raised his hand. In an instant, a swarm of people emerged, taking down everyone brought by Qian Qin. The speed was as swift as an eagle catching chicks.
The entire process took less than a minute.
Such quick and decisive action left everyone present in awe.
Qian Qin was personally restrained by Wang Yang, like a chick held by the neck, only able to struggle and flail. "Let go, let go, put me down!"
However, Wang Yang's grip showed no intention of loosening. He didn't even spare her a glance, as if she didn't exist.
Qian Qin yelled unyieldingly, "I'm telling you, I only wanted to make Bai Xi uncomfortable today. I advise you not to draw trouble upon yourself! You're one of the groom's people, aren't you? I'm kindly helping your master, letting him see what kind of person he's marrying."
With that, Wang Yang violently tossed Qian Qin into the air.
Though he didn't appear particularly strong, this seemingly slight movement sent her soaring two to three meters high, astonishing everyone again.
This action terrified Qian Qin, who shrieked and then fell heavily to the ground. This up and down motion, akin to riding a terrifying drop tower, effectively forced all her spoken words back down her throat.
Qian Qin lay on the ground in a sorry state, her lips faintly tinged with blood. Her pristine white dress and cheeks were smudged with the dust from the ground, making her look exceptionally disheveled. She struggled to get up, but Wang Yang grabbed her again. "If you dare to slander my mistress again, I won't hesitate to throw you even higher."
Today was his master and future mistress's wedding day. He didn't want trouble, but he certainly wasn't afraid of it.
Hearing this, Qian Qin trembled, a flicker of fear in her eyes as she looked at Wang Yang.
Being thrown higher would undoubtedly mean a harder fall. She already felt like she was falling apart from this toss; a greater height would surely mean death.
But, looking at Bai Xi on the high platform...
This woman had caused the death of her son and her unborn grandchild. How could she let this go?
Moreover... she had investigated thoroughly before coming. This woman had some unclear relationship with Shen Mingxun of the Dark Department. As expected, Shen Mingxun was among the guests, watching everything from afar.
This woman indeed had her ways, not only making her current husband protect her so fiercely but also daring to invite her paramour to this wedding banquet. How absurd, how arrogant.
Fortunately, she had already made preparations...
Thinking of her preparations, a wicked smile touched her blood-stained lips. "Fine, fine, fine. You pitiable worms who refuse a toast and prefer punishment, this is all your own doing. Today, I will make you all pay with my son's life!"
Her venomous laughter echoed throughout the entire hall, making everyone unconsciously feel uneasy.
Today was supposed to be her and Han Mo's joyous occasion. Bai Xi had initially not wanted to bother with her, but with her repeated provocations and her current smug, self-assured demeanor, even Bai Xi couldn't help but wonder who gave her such confidence.
While not afraid, she was inexplicably curious.
With this thought, she raised an eyebrow slightly. "It seems Madam Zhou has specifically found some help."
Qian Qin sneered, "What, are you only scared now? It's too late."
Bai Xi said calmly, "Madam Zhou, don't play coy. Hand them over, and then you'll know if I'm scared."
Qian Qin flashed a sinister, triumphant smile. "Don't rush. He should be here any moment. He's also from the Dark Department."
The mention of the Dark Department caused Bai Xi to involuntarily raise her eyebrows slightly.
Qian Qin had been watching Bai Xi closely. Sensing the momentary shift in her expression, a flicker of triumph crossed Qian Qin's eyes. "Scared now, aren't you?"
Bai Xi raised her eyebrows and said calmly, "Indeed, I am."
Judging by the commotion, there were quite a few people coming. And Qian Qin, knowing Shen Mingxun was present, had brought in others from the Dark Department. This likely meant she had found someone with a higher rank than Shen Mingxun to suppress him. Those above Shen Mingxun would naturally be senior commanders of the Dark Department, and they would most likely recognize her.
Dismissing them casually would seem rather impolite. However, if she didn't dismiss them, and they all stayed for the meal... she was genuinely worried there wouldn't be enough seats.
As their conversation ended, a significant commotion could be heard.
"Someone from the Dark Department is here?"
"But Commander Shen Mingxun is seated right here. Who dares to be presumptuous?"
"Then Madam Zhou must have invited someone of a higher rank than Commander Shen."
"No way. This small three-star city of ours can still see a Dark Department commander more senior than Commander Shen?"
"Now is not the time to be happy. A more senior Dark Department commander has come to disrupt the event!"
"What are you afraid of? I'm just an ordinary employee of Bai Group. Dark Department commanders aren't like Thanos; they won't bother with insignificant people like me."
"If you say so, then I'm not afraid either. I'm just a department manager at Lin Group, not familiar with Miss Bai, and not too familiar with the groom either."
"No, I'm still scared. What if I get implicated..."
"Alright, shut up. Don't say unnecessary things."
"..."
Most of the ordinary people present became nervous due to the commotion and began to stand up from their seats.
Only those who knew the intricacies of the situation remained seated as steadily as mountains.
Han Mo had initially not wanted these insignificant people to waste his precious time.
However... he looked at Bai Xi.
Xi'er was handling this matter. Her gaze was calm and composed, shining as brightly as the stars. Clearly, since this matter now involved the Dark Department, she would have to resolve it completely.
It didn't matter. As long as he could stand by her side and watch her, that time wouldn't be considered wasted or spent in vain. He would forever remember her spirited and radiant appearance today.
Now... as long as they could stand together, it was good enough.
