The entire venue was stunned at that moment.
Gao Hai looked on blankly, unsure what to say.
What was going on? Wasn't Song Qiao supposed to be a fake? Weren't they supposed to deal with him?
But now, why was his cousin bowing to this Song Qiao?
And Gao Run, standing beside them, was even worse off.
She kept muttering to herself.
"Revenge, I must deal with Song Qiao, deal with that little slut... Help! Send me to the hospital quickly, I'm dying... Zheng Fei, why aren't you acting? Why did you stop? Why are you bowing to this guy? Are you stupid..."
Even more bewildered was Xu Chao.
He had been happily watching the show, a grand spectacle.
Such a scene unfolding at Zheng Fei's engagement ceremony was a delight to behold. And with Zheng Fei's involvement, no matter who came out on top, it was good news.
As long as something happened here, he would find it fun and laughable.
But now, seeing this young master Zheng Fei, someone usually so arrogant, bowing to Song Qiao, something was amiss.
Did that mean this guy really had a deep background?
Was this matter more complicated than it seemed?
Would the beating he just took have been in vain?
What should he do?
At this moment, he truly didn't know what to do.
Of course, there was another person present who had been severely beaten, the general manager of Century Hotel, Cui Feng.
He was now keeping a low profile.
In fact, from the moment Song Qiao severely injured him with a single blow, he had realized a lot.
Especially after learning that Mo Ling was involved with him, and in a very close relationship, he knew he had kicked a steel plate.
But he didn't intend to warn the others.
Why should he?
If others weren't severely punished, wouldn't he become the laughingstock of Modu?
The more people who were punished, the less conspicuous he would be.
And the excuse was already there: he was beaten and knocked unconscious by Song Qiao and couldn't participate in the subsequent events.
In short, he could easily extricate himself.
That was enough.
At this moment, pretending to be unconscious, he discovered that Zheng Fei was also dealt with by Song Qiao, and he couldn't be happier.
Although it seemed like things weren't going well for him now, and perhaps not for Century Hotel either, who could predict what would happen later?
If this Song Qiao soared to the top, he might even benefit from it.
He just needed to maintain a good relationship with Song Qiao.
Meanwhile, the other people at the scene were in a state of shock.
They genuinely couldn't fathom that Song Qiao's true identity was so high.
Although they couldn't know what information Zheng Fei had received on the phone, his bowing to Song Qiao clearly indicated that the latter held significant power.
At this moment, Li Bingqing, who had shed her red dress and put on a white wedding gown, wore a cold sneer.
She had long anticipated that Song Qiao would use his identity as a general from the security department to pressure Zheng Fei.
At the same time, she also knew that Song Chengxing had severely injured Guo Zhong.
Song Chengxing's arrival in Modu and defeat of Guo Zhong had directly disrupted the Guo family's series of plans.
Only then could Song Qiao be so arrogant.
At this very moment.
She was seething with anger.
Involuntarily, she recalled what Song Qiao had done to her.
She bit her lip.
Taking three steps at a time, she approached Zheng Fei and grabbed his arm.
"Xiao Fei, don't bow to this guy. You're all from the security department, you're on the same side!"
As she spoke, she didn't look directly at Song Qiao, only glancing at him from the corner of her eye.
Her gaze was entirely focused on Zheng Fei.
However, Zheng Fei dared not say much about her actions, still insisting on bowing.
After finishing the bow, he said, "How can I, a mere mortal, dare to claim to be on the same side as Major General Song?"
The other party was of high status and power, while he was just a nobody.
Although being thought of so highly by his fiancée should have been a good thing, and he should have been happy.
But at this moment, he was only dejected.
Song Qiao then waved his hand and suddenly spoke to Zheng Fei, "Actually, we can be considered on the same side. After all, I was just with your fiancée, and she performed well. I'm quite satisfied."
"What?" Zheng Fei's face first flushed red, then turned pale.
He looked at Song Qiao, then at Li Bingqing, his expression filled with disbelief.
No wonder!
No wonder Li Bingqing's gaze towards Song Qiao earlier had been so strange!
He had been cuckolded in a big way...
And the scene had now descended into utter chaos.
Roaring and rumbling.
In Zheng Fei's eyes, everyone was talking, and their gazes were becoming peculiar.
They were all laughing at him!
Indeed, the guests at the scene were greatly astonished and deeply shocked by Song Qiao's statement.
After a brief silence, everyone began to whisper.
"Is this true?"
"Has Young Master Zheng really been cuckolded?"
"Is this Song Qiao truly this shameless?"
"It's hard to say, this matter is too complicated..."
"What grudge does this Song Qiao have with Zheng Fei to publicly humiliate Zheng Fei, to humiliate the Zheng and Guo families?"
...
The guests didn't know what to do.
People loved gossip.
But if the gossip threatened their lives and futures, it wasn't so enjoyable.
As for what they should do next, they couldn't rush into a decision. They would first observe the situation and see how others acted!
Among those present, only Gao Meng seemed relatively normal.
Her expression was calm, but she looked at Song Qiao with dissatisfaction. Hmph, this guy, he's truly a lecher, doing such things, stealing someone's fiancée.
However, humiliating Zheng Fei, that was well done!
Heh heh, the marriage between Zheng Fei and Li Bingqing was highly anticipated. Many believed these two were a perfect match.
And it would have been greatly beneficial for enhancing the Zheng family's status and consolidating the Guo family's power.
But now, if it were true, it would all turn into a mess.
The Guo and Zheng families would become the subject of gossip, even a laughingstock.
It sounded amusing.
And by extension, the Gao family wouldn't escape unscathed.
Therefore, at this moment, Zheng Fei, the center of the incident, though he hadn't considered all the consequences, just thinking of the most superficial aspect, the reputation of himself and the Zheng family, found it unbearable.
The last time, he had vaguely heard that Song Qiao and Li Bingqing had some sort of connection, that things between them were a bit unclear.
And now, Song Qiao had personally admitted it, and in front of so many guests, saying such a thing.
This was dragging the Zheng family's reputation through the mud, stomping on it, and then spitting on it.
Unacceptable!
No, this couldn't be allowed to be confirmed. He had to regain his dignity, his reputation, and the Zheng family's prestige!
His eyes instantly became bloodshot, as if they would spew fire.
Zheng Fei glared at Song Qiao and said angrily, "Song Qiao, I respect you as a superior and have been courteous to you, but you cannot talk nonsense, insult my fiancée, or insult me and our Zheng family. You must apologize, or I will not be polite!"
After speaking, he stared at Song Qiao, waiting for him to back down.
But after waiting for a long time, Song Qiao just looked at him calmly.
It's bad.
He had to find another way.
Right, have Li Bingqing clarify.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and said to Li Bingqing, "Bingqing, you speak!"
Li Bingqing's face was also darkened.
She was extremely frustrated. She had intended to humiliate Song Qiao and embarrass him, but she hadn't expected this guy to be so shameless, saying such things in front of so many people.
Facing Zheng Fei's plea again, she bit her lip but said nothing.
What did this action signify? Anyone with eyes could see.
This was tacit consent...
Zheng Fei was so angry his lungs felt like they would explode, and his vision went black.
He felt countless sympathetic glances passing before his eyes, and the green on his head seemed to stretch for miles.
Finally unable to bear it any longer, he abruptly raised his right hand, about to slap Li Bingqing.
His fingers were about to touch the woman's smooth face.
Suddenly, his vision blurred.
Li Bingqing, who was so close, had instantly disappeared.
Where did she go?
Zheng Fei quickly looked around.
It was Song Qiao who, at the last moment, pulled her into his arms.
