The most exciting things in a wedding are: the bride or groom is missing, a child suddenly recognizes him/her, and a small video suddenly starts playing on the big screen.
Jian Jing hadn't attended a wedding for a long time, but she didn't expect to win the jackpot on her first visit.
She raised her ears and eavesdropped quietly.
The best man in the secret meeting was shocked: "What do you mean? Where did he go?"
The best man who reported the news pinched his eyebrows and said irritably: "How should I know? He suddenly said he would be alone for a while, but when I went to find him just now, he was not in the room, and no one answered the phone."
"Could it be..." The other best men hesitated and guessed the same thing, "Are you regretting it?"
The others were silent.
This kind of thing has happened before.
"It's half past nine now. The wedding will officially start at eleven. We have one and a half hours to find that damn guy." The best man who reported the news said coldly, looking around anxiously.
The sun was spinning and projected onto something, and a bright light flashed between the green leaves of the flower rack.
The light spot was too close, and he became suspicious. He made a whispering gesture and suddenly pulled the flowers off the rack. Several lilies and roses were pulled to pieces by him, revealing the eavesdropper behind the rack.
He walked around and asked, "Who are you?"
Although the girl in front of him was pretty, a man of his background had long been immune to beautiful women, at least he would not be dazzled by a face. On the contrary, he was quite wary of such a young girl who suddenly appeared.
"Why did you eavesdrop on our conversation?" The tone was very unfriendly.
Jian Jing said, "I was here first."
The other party did not believe it and said aggressively, "Who brought you here? Whose child are you?" If
someone respects me one foot, I will respect him ten feet. Jian Jing did not want to cause trouble, but the other party did not know how to talk properly, so she naturally did not want to apologize in a humble manner. Her expression suddenly became calm: "If you are rude to me again, I will tell you about the missing groom."
"Are you threatening us?" Another best man couldn't hold his temper and sneered, "Do you know who we are?"
Jian Jing raised his eyebrows.
The other best man raised his hand to stop his friend, and suddenly his expression changed, becoming extremely sincere: "Miss, although I don't know who you are, you are here to attend the wedding after all. If you make this known to others, both the Fang and Nie families will be embarrassed, and no one will be grateful to you, right?" There
must be something wrong when something is abnormal.
Jian Jing was very curious about what they wanted to do: "So what?"
"My last name is Lu, and I'm a good friend of the groom." Best Man Lu introduced himself, "You help us today, I'll treat you to a meal later."
"Wow," Jian Jing made an exaggerated expression without any sincerity, "Are you a beggar? Do you need a meal?"
Best Man Lu's eyes flashed with impatience, but he hid it: "Then what do you want?"
"I just want to bask in the sun," she said, "Please do what you need to do, and don't block my sun."
However, the three looked at each other and didn't believe it.
Best Man Lu looked at her and said, "You are from the bride's side, right? Well, you can come with us, so that we don't have to argue later."
Just now he was thinking about whether to tell the bride's family about the groom's disappearance.
If they don't tell, and if they can't keep it a secret if the person is not found, they may be blamed by the Nie family, and they may even suspect that they helped. If they tell, if the person comes back, it will cause a false alarm, and there will be a rift between the two families.
It just so happens that this person bumped into them for no reason, so he can be a witness to avoid suspicion and also make it easier to keep her mouth shut. Jian Jing
showed hesitation: "What does it have to do with me?"
It was indeed a guest from the bride's family. Best man Lu had an idea in his mind and said, "It's settled, you come with us."
She stood up slowly, as if she was reluctant, but they quickened their pace, and she didn't fall behind, but followed closely.
Haha, pretending to be unhappy, but her body was very honest. It turned out to be another woman who took the opportunity to climb up the social ladder.
Best man Lu looked down on them and walked straight into the groom's waiting room without even looking at her. The fourth best man in the room saw them coming back and asked hurriedly, "How is it? Did you find them?" "
No." Best man Lu frowned, "I looked everywhere, but there was no sign of them. There is no surveillance here either."
The club focuses on privacy. Except for the entrance and parking lot, there is no surveillance to ensure the privacy of the guests. But at this time, this has also become an obstacle to finding people.
The best man who stayed behind hesitated and said, "Actually, I don't think we need to be too nervous. Brother Yan is very serious about the marriage, and he doesn't seem like someone who would hesitate. Maybe he walked away because of something."
"What if it's not the case? Can you afford to lose face, or can I?" Best man Lu thought about it and felt that he could not keep it to himself. He pointed at best man B and said, "Go and tell Fang Da about this."
Best man B didn't seem to have any ideas except continuing the family line, so he went to report the news obediently.
Best man A said, "Before anyone arrives, let's be honest, is it because of that woman?"
Best man Lu: "Which woman?"
The best man who stayed behind: "Xiao Rou? That's not possible. Brother Yan and her have been separated for a long time. How could she make Brother Yan run away without getting married?"
Best man Lu: "Tell me clearly, who is that?"
"She said it was his ex-girlfriend. We were together for three or four years, and just broke up recently. She has been pestering Yanzi to marry her." Best man A said, "Cousin, you know this is impossible. She made trouble a few times. It was pretty ugly."
Best man Lu asked, "Did you see her today?"
A and the best man who stayed behind both said, "No."
The atmosphere was heavy for a moment.
After a while, Best Man Lu said, "Well, don't worry about why he ran away, let's find him first." He sorted out his thoughts, "The car is still there, it's impossible for him to walk alone, someone must have helped him. Is there anyone missing among the guests today?"
A said, "I'll take the sign-in book to look for him."
"Okay." Best Man Lu hesitated, and still said to the best man who stayed behind, "Find a reliable person to check where that Rou is, don't really make any scandals."
The best man who stayed behind agreed hurriedly.
After everyone was assigned, Best Man Lu sat down and pinched his brows, thinking about the next move.
At this moment, he saw Jian Jing turn around the room twice, then climbed onto the windowsill and ran out through the window. The anger in his heart suddenly rose, and he rushed forward and grabbed with his big hand.
In her imagination, he should be able to grab her ruffled collar and pull her back like an eagle catching a chick.
Then he looked down at her and warned her coldly: "Don't play tricks."
But the reality is cruel.
The moment he rushed up, she cleverly turned sideways to avoid his palm, and at the same time stretched out her hand and grabbed his tie with incredible precision.
With the throat strangled, even a tall man would not dare to fight back. Best man Lu was forced to bend down and look at the girl sitting on the slanted window sill.
"What do you want to do?" she asked.
Best man Lu had never been treated so badly by anyone before, and he held her slender wrist tightly, trying to pry her hand off.
Theoretically, with his size and weight, it would be easy for him to fight a young girl. Their muscles are always soft, and punching them is no different from massaging.
Unfortunately, this was another misjudgment.
The other party did not move, but tightened his strength, and the tie pressed further against his throat.
It was uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable.
Best Man Lu was very angry, but he showed a friendly smile on his face, spread his hands, and indicated that he had no ill intentions.
As expected, the girl let go of him.
"I'm just afraid that you will fall." He loosened his tie and gently explained his actions, as if the rudeness just now was all an illusion.
Jian Jing didn't believe a word of it, and he just rolled down the window and walked around from the back.
Best man Lu asked, "What are you doing?"
"The groom climbed out the window and left. I wanted to see his route," Jian Jing explained.
Best man Lu raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Oh? How do you know?"
"There are cookie crumbs on the carpet and his shoes got them." Jian Jing raised her chin and motioned him to look at the windowsill. There were also crushed cookie crumbs on the edge, firmly stuck to the marble windowsill.
Best man Lu looked back and forth several times before noticing this detail. He was half surprised and half suspicious. Would a normal person pay attention to such a small place? Especially since she is nearsighted.
Could he be an accomplice who deliberately stayed behind to be an insider?
His doubts became even more serious, so he asked
tentatively: "Then tell me, where is he now?" Jian Jing said: "I don't know, let's look for him."
She didn't bring a magnifying glass to attend the wedding today, so she could only squat on the ground and look slowly. Unfortunately, the weather was fine today, and there was a breeze from time to time. The particles scattered on the ground had long been blown away and could not be found anywhere.
However, it was not to stop there.
Jian Jing recalled the floor plan of the club in her mind.
The exterior wall of this building is a Gothic design, but the internal structure is not as complicated as a real castle. After all, it is a business, and the road is too roundabout to embarrass the guests.
The overall layout is a "concave" character, with a total of four floors.
The fourth floor: two super large suites, a game room, a gym, a small dance hall, etc.
The third floor: suites and bedrooms of various sizes.
The second floor is as follows:
Terrace....Waiting room..............Waiting room..Terrace
....Lounge...Public corridor...Lounge..Terrace
Stairs..Dressing room...Extra large dining room...Dressing room..Stairs
The first floor is as follows:
...........Front yard garden.............
....Corridor...............Corridor.....
Kitchen..Coffee shop....Extra large...Small flower hall..Kitchen
Room..Western restaurant....Hall.....Chinese restaurant..Room.........Lawn
.......Lawn.........
............Backyard garden.............
The groom's waiting room is on the right, and you can quietly climb through the window to the terrace, or the sky garden. There are many rattan tables and chairs here, and the guests of the groom's family chat here.
She looked out and saw someone smoking, so she didn't go over and returned to the waiting room.
Best man Lu followed her all the way. Seeing her return, he couldn't help but taunt her: "Are
you not looking anymore?" "Is this your first time here today? He is not familiar with the terrain, so he chose to climb through the window first, proving that he didn't want to be discovered, but he didn't expect that there were many people on the terrace, so he would probably choose to go back." Jian Jing reviewed the groom's psychological activities at the time and returned to the waiting room.
The waiting room is connected to the lounge and the dressing room. She walked all the way to the innermost part and found some biscuit crumbs under the window of the dressing room.
"He went out from here." After climbing out of the dressing room window, he came to the corner of the second floor.
This club is very considerate of its guests. There are two stairs on the second floor. Usually everyone takes the two large stairs next to the public corridor in front. At the same time, they quietly built a narrow staircase in a hidden place.
The door was also hidden behind a bunch of rattan racks, so it would not be discovered at leisure.
But this little trick could not hide Jian Jing's observation.
She pushed the door open and walked in, complaining in her heart. She heard that there were many secret passages in the Palace of Versailles for the king and his mistress to meet secretly. This club has learned the essence and provided a lot of convenience for those who have an affair. Best
man Lu followed her downstairs and couldn't help asking again: "How do you know there is a staircase here?"
"Because I have eyes." Best
man Lu choked and was very unhappy.
But his greatest advantage is that he can grasp the key points. No matter where she comes from or what she wants to do, the most urgent thing is to find the groom. For this reason, everything else can be tolerated.
