Three days before the wedding, Lin Yan emerged from the research institute. In a few days, she would marry Meng Shuo Jing.
Although she had married him many times across various worlds, she was still looking forward to this wedding. It was a wedding he had prepared for her.
She hadn't participated in its planning, leaving everything as a surprise. She eagerly anticipated this wedding.
Commander Meng and Lin Yan left the research institute together. After all, as his nephew's wedding, he was expected to attend.
Though they didn't travel in the same car, they drove towards the airport, one after the other.
However, on the road from the Capital City Airport towards the city, a runaway car collided with theirs.
But Lin Yan and Commander Meng's car was a military vehicle, which was sturdier. Furthermore, the drivers were military personnel with excellent skills, so they managed to evade the runaway car.
The runaway vehicle crashed into the guardrail by the roadside. Immediately, the security guards from both cars rushed out and apprehended the driver of the out-of-control vehicle.
The driver reeked of alcohol, but his eyes were clear. The guards swiftly removed him from the car, which had begun to leak fuel.
"Commander, we will handle this. The road is not safe; you should leave now." The guard held the driver aside.
"Com... Commander!" The driver trembled. They hadn't told him a Commander was inside!
How could he possibly offend a military official referred to as Commander?
"Yan Yan, you ride with me. Let them use this car to go to the police station," Commander Meng said, rolling down the car window to address Lin Yan.
"Alright." Lin Yan alighted from the car and transferred to another vehicle.
The rest of the journey was exceptionally smooth. Commander Meng escorted Lin Yan to the hotel booked by her parents and then returned to the Meng family's ancestral home.
Lin Yan didn't give the car accident much thought. After all, with Commander Meng and the Meng family involved, there was no need for her to intervene.
Lin Yan then settled into her role as the bride. The wedding dress and jewelry had arrived, and upon trying them on, she found they fit perfectly. They had evidently been altered according to her body measurements.
She had, after all, gained two pounds recently, yet the wedding dress still fit so well. This seemed inseparable from Commander Meng.
However, it also indicated that everyone in the Meng family held her in high regard.
News of the car accident reached Fu Yin, and a malicious smile flickered across her lips, vanishing as quickly as it appeared.
"Hao Rui, do you want to attend the Meng family's wedding with me?" Fu Yin asked Xu Hao Rui, wanting him to accompany her to Lin Yan's wedding.
If Lin Yan could marry Meng Shuo Jing, then she wasn't any less. Although Xu Hao Rui was currently just a young master from the second branch, he would eventually be the heir to the Xu family, not far inferior to Meng Shuo Jing!
"Of course, I will accompany you, Yin Yin. You know my feelings for you. Even though you can't completely forget Meng Shuo Jing yet, I believe that, sooner or later, I will replace him in your heart!"
Xu Hao Rui clasped Fu Yin's hand, his expression filled with deep affection.
However, neither of them attended the wedding of Meng Shuo Jing and Lin Yan.
The day before the wedding, people from the police station arrived.
"Are you Ms. Fu Yin? You are suspected of involvement in a criminal case and need to cooperate with the investigation. Please come with us!" Seeing that she was a woman, the two police officers did not take out handcuffs.
"Yin Yin, what's going on!" Madam Fu couldn't accept this. Why were the police looking for her daughter?
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? I haven't been out recently, how could I be involved in any criminal case?" Fu Yin quickly denied it. She remembered doing a good job of covering her tracks; how could they have found her so soon!
Don't worry, it definitely has nothing to do with her. Even if they investigate, they would only trace it back to Xu Hao Rui, not her.
"We're not mistaken, Comrade Fu Yin, please come with us! If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for using force." The two police officers spoke rather impolitely.
"Yin Yin, go with them first. Mom will bring a lawyer over shortly." Madam Fu quickly soothed her daughter. In this situation, she didn't know what else to do and decided to call her husband immediately to handle it.
"Then, Mom, I'll go to the police station first. You must come to the station as soon as possible. I... I'm scared." Fu Yin looked at Madam Fu pitifully, her distress and fear hidden beneath a valiant effort to remain composed, which was heart-wrenching.
Fu Yin was taken away. Madam Fu promptly contacted Mr. Fu and the Fu family's legal team, then headed to the police station.
But upon arriving at the police station, Madam Fu was informed that she couldn't visit Fu Yin. Furthermore, an acquaintance she knew told her that Fu Yin's situation was quite serious and likely difficult to resolve.
The lawyer had gone to inquire, and Madam Fu waited in the reception area for Mr. Fu to arrive.
Meanwhile, in the interrogation room, Fu Yin grew increasingly anxious. The person interrogating her was not a police officer but a soldier in uniform.
She didn't understand why this was happening, but she tried her best to remain calm. She couldn't show any weaknesses; as long as they couldn't find any evidence, she would be fine.
"Fu Yin, you did it, didn't you?" Xu Hao Rui walked into the interrogation room.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Hao Rui, why were you brought here too?" Fu Yin feigned an innocent and harmless demeanor, then looked at Xu Hao Rui with apparent concern.
"Fu Yin, stop pretending. I won't admit to something I didn't do. Did you think you covered your tracks flawlessly?" Xu Hao Rui said sarcastically. He had, in a way, been brought down by this woman.
She was truly audacious, daring to do anything! It seemed that the previous incident where she offended someone must also have been no simple matter. She just didn't know who she had offended then. Given her boldness, it probably wasn't someone insignificant.
"I really don't know what you're talking about! Hao Rui, don't wrong me!"
"Do you know who you targeted this time? That's General Meng of the Meng family, a military big shot. Do you think you have too many lives to risk attacking him!" Xu Hao Rui said mockingly.
Fu Yin's pupils constricted. How, how could this be! She had people target Lin Yan when she returned, so why did it turn into an attack on General Meng.
"It seems you didn't know you were targeting General Meng. So, who were you intending to target?" Xu Hao Rui's sarcasm intensified.
"Fu Yin, you are truly a lunatic!"
"No, no. I didn't, I didn't do it. I know nothing!" Fu Yin couldn't accept this fact and slumped onto the chair, desperately denying it.
She absolutely could not admit it. If she confessed, her life would be over! Even with all her wealth and the Fu family's power, they couldn't bear the罪责 of attacking a general!
