Madness
Jiang Zhizhi looked somewhat helpless, "We have already discussed this issue before."
"But you weren't Xiaoye's girlfriend last time." Lu Hengshan narrowed his eyes, "I heard that you are dating Xiaoye now."
"It's one thing for me to date him, but it's another to agree to your conditions."
Lu Hengshan said, "Can I understand that you just don't want to trade your feelings, not that you don't want to marry Xiaoye?"
"Uncle Lu, I'm not here to discuss this with you. Jiang Guozhong isn't just resentful of me and my mother, but also of you and the people around you. I don't want to harm innocent people, so I'm here to tell you. If you can help me, that would be great. If you don't want to help, I can handle it myself. That's all I have to say. Goodbye."
As she spoke, she stood up, bowed politely to Lu Hengshan, and left the study directly.

Time passed, and soon it was Chen Yuping and Gao Bin's wedding day. Everything went smoothly, but Jiang Zhizhi felt a dark cloud hanging over them.
These days, she and Shen Li searched all the places Jiang Guozhong might have gone, but they couldn't find any trace of him. She had a bad feeling.
She asked Shen Li to hire a few bodyguards, mix in with the guests attending the wedding, and let them secretly protect Chen Yuping's safety.
Because both of them were getting married for the second time, they decided to skip the bride-picking ceremony and just hold the wedding ceremony in the hotel. At nine o'clock in the morning, everyone drove to Shenghaoxuan Huafu together.
At the entrance of Jinxi Hall on the second floor, Chen Yuping and Gao Bin’s beautiful welcome posters have been placed among a field of exquisite and beautiful flowers. The corridors on both sides are hung with wedding characters and wedding photos of the two.
Jiang Zhizhi and Li Rongrong accompanied Chen Yuping in the lounge waiting for the ceremony to begin, while Gao Bin was outside welcoming guests.
"Mom, you look so beautiful today!" Li Rongrong looked at Chen Yuping in front of her, who was wearing delicate makeup. She was elegant and gentle, and her whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of glow. She sighed for the umpteenth time today.
Chen Yuping was really embarrassed by her praise, "Oh, you are already in your forties, and you still talk about whether you are beautiful or not."
"So what? Let alone our forties, we can still look beautiful even in our fifties or sixties." Li Rongrong said with a smile, "Mom, the lipstick color you're wearing today really suits you. I just asked the makeup artist to buy you another one..."
Jiang Zhizhi watched them discussing intimately from the side, feeling a little absent-minded, but she also felt relieved in her heart. At least at this time, Rongrong could help accompany her mother. She was not the kind of person who was enthusiastic and good at talking, and could not give people such high emotional value like Rongrong to please her mother.
She was truly filled with gratitude towards Li Rongrong.
The door of the lounge was pushed open, Lu Xiye came in and greeted Chen Yuping, then turned his gaze to Jiang Zhizhi.
After a pause, he frowned, pulled her and whispered, "Jiang Zhizhi, come out with me."
Without waiting for Jiang Zhizhi to answer, he pulled her out, across the corridor, and walked to a secluded corner.
"What's wrong with you these days?"
"What?"
"Ever since that phone call, you've been acting strangely. Did something happen?"
"..." Jiang Zhizhi was silent for a moment, but finally told him frankly, "Jiang Guozhong... is back. It was him who called me that day. He came back to take revenge on us."
At this time, if one more person knew about it, Chen Yuping might have an extra layer of security.
"Why don't you tell your mother?"
"I want to resolve this matter without her knowing. I don't want her to be dragged back into the shadow of her past pain at such an important moment in her life. Do you understand? I... I really want her to completely get rid of the past and start a brand new life..."
Jiang Zhizhi felt painful and suffocated, but it was enough for her to bear this feeling alone, and there was no need for another person to bear it.
She is no longer the Jiang Zhizhi of the past, and she has enough strength to deal with all of this.
"Zhizhi..." Lu Xiye held her hand and held her in his arms, "I can share the responsibility with you. If you don't want to tell your mother, at least let me stand by your side and let me face it with you."
"Today is very important to me. Can you always stay by my mother's side to protect her? As long as my mother is okay, I will feel at ease."
Although Shen Li called bodyguards over, they pretended to be guests and could not get too close to Chen Yuping. Only Lu Xiye could stand beside Chen Yuping openly.
Moreover, Lu Xiye had been training with her in the Taekwondo Club before. With his foundation and reaction level, he should have no problem dealing with Jiang Guozhong.
"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Xiye said anxiously.
"You don't have to worry about me. Jiang Guozhong isn't that capable yet."
Indeed, during previous training, Jiang Zhizhi could easily give him a shoulder throw without him even having a chance to react.
"Okay, then you have to be careful too. If anything happens, be sure to contact me as soon as possible."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded and was about to agree when there was suddenly a commotion in the corridor outside.
Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly ran around the corner. At this moment, a large crowd of people gathered at the entrance of Jinxi Hall. Jiang Zhizhi squeezed through the crowd and saw that the welcome poster of Chen Yuping and Gao Bin had been slashed several times, and every time the cuts were on Chen Yuping's face.
Jiang Zhizhi felt a chill on her back.
Sure enough, he came!
Jiang Zhizhi quickly took out her cell phone and was about to send a message to Shen Li when she saw him not far from the crowd out of the corner of her eye, so she hurried over.
"How's it going?"
"They are all guarding outside the lounge. I came to check the situation. Someone saw him just now. He was wearing a short-sleeved work shirt and a black hat." Shen Li said in a low voice.
"Hurry up and find someone to remove the welcome poster. I'll go see my mom." Jiang Zhizhi took two steps, then turned back and grabbed Shen Li's wrist. "Shen Li, help me find him. Please."
"Well, I've contacted the hotel security. Don't worry, nothing will happen again."
Hearing Shen Li say this, Jiang Zhizhi felt somewhat relieved.
When she entered just now, she saw Yin Huai, which meant that Lu Hengshan had also arrived.
Now that so many people are guarding against him, it is impossible for him to get close to Chen Yuping.
As long as we catch him, everything will be settled.
As soon as Jiang Zhizhi separated from Shen Li, Lu Xiye caught up with her. To be precise, he had been watching her and Shen Li talking from a distance until they separated, and then he came to Jiang Zhizhi.
This was the first time he met Shen Li, but seeing how Jiang Zhizhi interacted with him, he knew how close they were.
Lu Xiye felt a little jealous. He knew that there were many secrets between them that he didn't know about, but now was not the time to act emotionally.
"Zhizhi, is that the person?"
"Hmm." Jiang Zhizhi thought for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Lu Xiye's hand and held it tightly. "Lu Xiye, I'm going to find him. Now go to my mother's place and protect her safety. Please."
The eager gaze on him made it impossible for him to refuse.
Although he was still very worried about Jiang Zhizhi's safety, he agreed.
After handing Chen Yuping over to Lu Xiye, Jiang Zhizhi went to the hall of Jinxi Hall immediately. This was the venue for the wedding ceremony. If Jiang Guozhong wanted to do something, he would probably hide here.
At this time, the hall was already full of guests and the wedding ceremony was about to begin. She walked around the entire hall, looked at each table, and searched the back of the wedding venue, but did not find any suspicious figures.
Is he gone already?
No, judging from the resentment he showed on the phone that day, as if he wanted to drink blood and eat flesh, he would definitely do something today.
Jiang Zhizhi knew Jiang Guozhong. He was a cold-blooded and ruthless man. Now that he was forced into a desperate situation, there was nothing he couldn't do.
"Zhizhi."
Coming out from the back of the wedding venue, Jiang Zhizhi was thinking about what to do when Lu Hengshan suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Uncle Lu."
"Come with me."
Lu Hengshan took her to another lounge in Jinxi Hall and said, "Don't run around. Sit here and wait."
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi frown, he explained: "I have asked people to search Shenghaoxuan Huafu from top to bottom, but he is nowhere to be found. He is not here, or rather, he is not here yet."
"Uncle Lu, do you think he will come to me if I wait here?"
"He will call you." Lu Hengshan said calmly and confidently.
Jiang Zhizhi checked the phone number that Jiang Guozhong called that time and found it was a virtual number.
Over the years, he has become cautious and cunning.
Looking at Lu Hengshan's confident expression, Jiang Zhizhi didn't know why he said that, but she had no better way now and could only wait.
At 10:36, the wedding ceremony officially began.
The wedding simplified many aspects. The door opened, and with the bang of cannons, colored paper and star pieces fell like rain. Chen Yuping, wearing a beautiful white wedding dress, walked hand in hand with Gao Bin into the venue of Jinxi Hall.
And that "bang" sound made Jiang Zhizhi's heart suddenly tighten.
At the same time, Jiang Zhizhi's cell phone rang. In this noisy environment, she felt the ringtone was so harsh for the first time.
But almost subconsciously, she quickly took out her cell phone and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"hehe……"
Jiang Guozhong's cold laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"Jiang Guozhong, tell me, what exactly do you want to do?" Jiang Zhizhi said coldly.
"Oh, why should I tell you? Six years! Do you know how I lived these six years? It was like I was living in hell! I escaped from there with great difficulty just to kill you all! Kill you all!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, until he even started to roar, "Wait for death, all of you die..."
Jiang Zhizhi frowned, his mental state seemed to be abnormal.
Before he could continue speaking, Lu Hengshan suddenly took the phone from Jiang Zhizhi.
"Jiang Guozhong, whatever you are doing now, stop immediately. Your mother Wang Cuihua, your daughter Jiang Xinrui, and your son Jiang Tianci are all in Shenghaoxuan Mansion now. If you still want to see them..."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Lu Hengshan in surprise. He had actually brought Wang Cuihua and Jiang Guozhong's daughter and son with him...
But Jiang Guozhong was not moved at all, and even howled even more crazily.
"Then let them die together! Everyone will die here. I will kill them all!"
He suddenly started laughing.
