On the stage, the priest holding the scriptures overlapped with the image in his dream.

"Mr. Gu Qian, are you willing to take care of Miss Xia Wan for the rest of your life, to love her, cherish her, and protect her, whether in poverty or wealth, in health or sickness?"

Gu Qian looked at Xia Wan with deep affection and said, "I do."

The priest turned to Xia Wan and asked her the same question. Xia Wan pursed her lips, the ring hanging around her neck felt like a branding iron, burning her heart with pain.

Her silence even made the people who were seriously eating put down their chopsticks and stare at her.

"What's wrong with Xia Wan today? She looks like she's lost her soul, she's clearly not in the right state of mind."

"We've come this far, why is she still not in the right frame of mind? Could it be that she doesn't want to get married?"

"She didn't like Zhuang Yan when she was with him, but Gu Qian was her own choice. How could she not like him?"

Gu Qian's face darkened, and he whispered a reminder: "Wanwan."

Xia Wan snapped back to reality, her lips twitching stiffly: "I do."

Xia Qingshan below breathed a sigh of relief, then watched Gu Qian and Xia Wan exchange rings on the stage. Once the rings were on, the ceremony was complete. Just as everyone was about to applaud, a dozen uniformed police officers suddenly appeared outside the door.

It was hard to miss the large group of police officers who walked in, but soon everyone's attention fell on Zhuang Yan.

They believed the police were there to arrest Zhuang Yan, given the uproar online about him killing his sister, and that the police might uncover other things while investigating him.

If someone is so bad as a child, how can they be a good person when they grow up?

More and more onlookers gathered, most of them gloating, especially Gu Qian on the stage, whose face, hidden in darkness, was contorted with rage, as if he were about to burst into laughter.

As for Xia Wan next to her, her expression was much more intriguing. She was actually worried about Zhuang Yan and even wanted to leave the stage, but the heavy wedding dress restricted her movement, and Gu Qian was holding his hand tightly.

Mockery, indifference, pity, and worry filled An Xinrong's eyes as she stood up, ready to stand in front of Zhuang Yan at any moment.

The two most composed among them were Lu Yan and Zhuang Yan. Both of them looked over casually. Lu Yan was chewing gum, and she took a tissue to spit it out.

"They're here to arrest Zhuang Yan, aren't they?"

"With so many police officers, this must be serious."

"Zhuang Yan is finished. Why did he have to go out at this time? And why did he have to appear here so conspicuously? Now he's become the clown of the whole internet again."

While everyone was discussing whether Zhuang Yan would be taken to the police station, the lead policeman glanced around and went straight to Xia Qingshan's table.

He pulled out his identification and said sternly, "Zhuang Zhongming, please come with us..."

Zhuang Zhongming was completely bewildered. He stood up shakily and asked, "Have you arrested the wrong person?"

No one bothered with him; they simply surrounded him and said, "Nineteen years ago, your wife, Tang Jing, committed intentional homicide, and you covered up the evidence. Recently, you have also been illegally detaining and intentionally injuring people. In addition, the Zhuang Group is suspected of multiple commercial crimes. We need you to come with us to the police station for investigation."

A few words were enough to turn Zhuang Zhongming's face pale, his legs trembled so badly that he couldn't even walk. In the end, two policemen had to carry him out.

No one expected that the person being dragged away by the police would be Zhuang Zhongming, and judging from the police's preparations, the evidence was obviously conclusive, and Zhuang Zhongming could not escape.

"What murder case happened 19 years ago? Could it be that Tang Jing killed her own daughter?"

"How is that possible? How could a mother kill her daughter?"

Meanwhile, a video went viral, which was the evidence prepared by Zhuang Yan. With pictures and recordings, the criminals had no way to escape and were directly beaten to death by the couple.

The internet buzzed, and Jiang Ning immediately shared the post. The production team also shared and liked it, proving that the backlash from netizens was just as strong as it had been initially.

Human nature can be so ugly. They thought the child's death was caused by Zhuang Yan, or they thought it was an accident, but they never imagined that it was because a mother was jealous that her daughter received more love than her that she killed the child. Afterwards, she didn't even feel a little remorse.

Netizens attacked her en masse, wanting to hurl insults but unable to find Tang Jing, because Tang Jing was locked up in the Zhuang family villa and had long been cut off from the outside world.

What is Tang Jingcheng like now? Not a single piece of her skin is intact. Old wounds haven't healed and new ones have appeared. Whenever Zhuang Chongming gets annoyed, he will beat her. He beats her to death as long as he can't kill her. The beatings get worse every day. He beat her to the point that she loses control of her bladder and can't speak clearly. Now she can't even get out of bed.

When Tang Jing's photos were posted online, many people couldn't believe that the person with a bruised and swollen face was her. After all, in their minds, Tang Jing was an elegant and beautiful lady. Not long ago, her live streamers were all calling her "Mom" and clamoring to be reborn as her children.

Those who learned the truth felt as if they had swallowed a mouthful of excrement.

All I can say is that evil people will be punished by evil people.

On stage, Gu Qian's face was deathly pale under the lights, devoid of any color.

He stared in disbelief at Zhuang Zhongming being taken away by the police. Why was it Zhuang Zhongming who was being taken away? What did they mean by saying Tang Jing killed someone? Shouldn't the murderer be Zhuang Yan? And what about commercial crime?

If Tang Jing and Zhuang Chongming are both in jail, can he still inherit the Zhuang family's property?

Xia Qingshan stood up and glared at Zhuang Yan. In an instant, he understood everything. Zhuang Yan was the one who had orchestrated all of this.

He had a premonition that Zhuang Yan was going to make some underhanded moves when he first appeared, but he didn't expect him to make such big moves.

Enraged, Xia Qingshan smashed the cup in front of him, intending to order someone to teach Zhuang Yan a lesson, only to find that Zhuang Yan's side had been replaced by bodyguards at some point.

The two sides faced off, exuding a menacing aura. Zhuang Yan raised his glass in a friendly manner and smiled at him.

The director, who was in the distance, happily ate wedding candy and recorded the scene on his phone.

Before the police had finished leaving, they took Zhuang Zhongming away and then stood in front of Xia Qingshan: "Mr. Xia, please come with us as well."

The collaboration between the Zhuang and Xia families inevitably implicated the Xia family in the Zhuang Group's hidden business crimes.

"Dad..." Xia Wan called out anxiously, lifting her skirt as she tried to leave the stage.

Xia Qingshan raised his hand to her: "Don't worry about me, I'll be right back, nothing will happen." Then, glancing at the bewildered Lu Yu beside him, Xia Qingshan said coldly, "You deal with the people you brought yourself!"

Xia Wan was filled with anxiety and panic. Cold sweat had already seeped out of her back. So many things had happened in such a short time, leaving her standing there dumbfounded, unable to do anything.

All of this was because of Zhuang Yan; he ruined her wedding.

Why did it have to happen now of all times?

Seeing Zhuang Yan about to leave, Xia Wan lost control and shouted, "Zhuang Yan, why are you so cruel to me? What did the three years we spent together even mean?"

Zhuang Yan remained calm, his lips barely moving: "I guess I'm just unlucky."
