The staircase to the affair was narrow and steep, and the lighting was not good, but Jian Jing walked and stopped, and it took her five minutes to finish the walk.

Halfway through, best man Lu became impatient and walked ahead, but he turned back in a few minutes: "Where did you go after you got out of the elevator?"

Jian Jing: "..." If it wasn't for finding someone more interesting than waiting for a wedding banquet, she wouldn't be impatient to deal with such a person.

"Am I a god?" She walked to the staircase in a bad mood and looked around.

Best man Lu said: "In front is the kitchen and flower room, and there are people coming and going. In the back is the lawn, and there are even more people. According to what you said, where would he go?"

Apart from other things, this man has a first-class learning ability.

Jian Jing paced around for a while and walked towards the kitchen firmly.

The clubhouse's kitchens are divided into Western and Chinese styles. The Western style kitchen is less fumed and is open-style, connected to the Western restaurant. The Chinese kitchen is no different from a normal hotel kitchen, separated from the Chinese restaurant by a corridor.

To the side, there is a small path hidden behind green plants, which is used for trucks and cold chain trucks to transport goods, and does not overlap with the guests' movement.

Today is a wedding, and the wedding team in charge of planning is busy checking whether the items delivered are correct. Cars come and go, very busy.

Jian Jing stood in the corner of the wall and thought for a long time, then suddenly walked to the side of the road and pulled aside the bushes that blocked the road.

When she reached the third tree, she pulled out a silver-gray suit and shook it: "Is this the groom's suit?"

Best man Lu stepped forward quickly, took it and examined it carefully. Yes, the material of this suit is very special, reflecting the luster of flowing water under the sun, and it is a pair with the bride's wedding dress.

"It's his." He frowned, "Why is it here?"

"It's too conspicuous." Jian Jing said, "He deliberately avoided everyone's sight and took off his coat on purpose."

Best man Lu was no longer in the mood to argue with her.

The groom seemed to have left on his own initiative, and it would not be easy to find him back.

"The families of the bride and groom are waiting at the door to welcome him. He couldn't have walked to the front door, and his car didn't move."

Best Man Lu cast his eyes on the truck, "Did he leave in their car?" Jian Jing waved her hands, "Possibly. Well, I'm going back now."

She turned and left, but Best Man Lu refused to let go easily and grabbed her arm, "Wait."

"Let go." She glanced at his hand.

Her body took a step first, and Best Man Lu subconsciously let go of her hand and asked, "Are you not going to look for him anymore?"

"What's there to look for when a living person is leaving?" Jian Jing asked back.

She helped to look for someone because she was bored waiting in vain and wanted to find something to do, and she was also afraid that something might happen. Now that she knew that the groom had left on his own, no matter what the reason was, it was his freedom, so why should she care?

Best Man Lu was speechless and had to go back with her.

Unlike the groom, the two of them did not need to avoid the crowd, so they naturally did not take the small stairs and went directly into the lobby on the first floor.

"Lu Yu." The middle-aged man who was coming towards them called him and lowered his voice, "Xiao Yan is missing?" Best

Man Lu nodded.

The middle-aged man took a breath and looked strange.

Best Man Lu sighed and asked: "Brother, he left on his own. You tell us a rule so we can follow it."

"Left on his own?" The other party was stunned, "What's the matter?" Best

Man Lu curled his lips, motioned him to look at Jian Jing, and repeated his reasoning just now.

The middle-aged man was quite polite. He stretched out his hand and asked: "Hello, young lady. I am the groom's elder brother. You are a friend of the bride, right? What's your name?" "

Jian Jing." She touched her fingertips with the other party.

Fang Da was very polite: "It turns out to be Miss Jian. I'm so sorry for making you laugh today."

Jian Jing was polite, of course, and she didn't give him a cold shoulder, and replied: "It's just a small favor, no need to be polite. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Miss Jian," Fang Da said, "Wedding is not a joke, we will try to find a solution as soon as possible, can you please keep it a secret for the time being?"

Jian Jing said readily: "Sure."

"Thank you for your understanding." Fang Da's tone was very sincere.

Jian Jing didn't want to stay any longer, nodded at them, turned around and left.

She could already smell the aroma of coffee. She

ordered a cup of cherry blossom coffee - it looked good but not very tasty - and sat in a seat near the corridor, thinking about the groom's disappearance today.

Although she told best man Lu that the groom left on his own, there were still many strange things about the matter.

In the groom's waiting room, the water and snacks are provided by the club. The same items can be seen everywhere, but there is something very out of place.

Under the tea table, there is a piece of red paper.

The surface is red and the inside is white, but you can see red dots. It is very cheap and often used in weddings.

Logically, red paper is not out of place in a wedding banquet, but today's wedding is Western style, with white as the main color, and almost no traditional colors.

So, what is this red paper used to wrap? It lies under the tea table, on which there are water cups and biscuit crumbs. The groom must have sat there for quite a while.

She guessed that it might be something in the red paper that made the groom decide to leave.

What could it be?

I'm really curious.

Jian Jing thought of several dramas of wealthy families and thought that today's wedding banquet would most likely be cancelled. But reality is reality. At 11 o'clock, the wedding started on time.

The missing groom seemed to be fine. He appeared energetic and held the bride's hand in front of the witness with a smile on his face.

Jian Jing: "???"

Are you missing for no reason?

She looked confused, but it was a good thing that the groom could come back. At least it would not embarrass the bride in front of so many relatives and friends.

There is no difference between the ceremony of the rich and the ordinary people's wedding. After a big shot witnesses the wedding, the bride and groom exchange rings and kiss on the cheek.

The banquet begins.

The banquet was set up under the corridor, which was breathable and warm. The guests sat on both sides of the long solid wood table, with a row of fragrant flowers in the middle, which was very elegant and grand.

The meal was also very Western, with appetizers, soup, side dishes, main dishes and desserts served one after another, and the drinks included champagne and red wine, which tasted excellent.

Jian Jing's conscientious review: It was delicious.

The guests ate the dishes, and the newlyweds toasted everywhere. Jian Jing's table was full of Jinwu's authors, and the relationship was already very distant, so they just drank a little and went through the motions.

When toasting, Jian Jing paid special attention to the groom.

He was handsome and well-proportioned, and wore a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist. Strangely, the strap was a little loose, and the style seemed a little familiar.

But before she could take a closer look, the groom walked away with the bride.

Only the best man Lu was a step slower. He looked at her with a half-smile, raised his glass and said, "Miss Jian, I did it, you can do whatever you want." He finished drinking half of the red wine in the glass and showed her the bottom of the glass.

However, Jian Jing showed a puzzled and puzzled expression: "Excuse me, are you...?" Best

man Lu choked, and then thought of the secret he asked her to keep. He didn't dare to refute and introduced himself: "Lu Yu."

"Hello." Jian Jing nodded and turned around and sat down.

Best man Lu was left there, unable to move forward or backward, and didn't want to let her go easily, so he deliberately took out his business card: "This is my business card, can I leave your contact information?"

Jian Jing apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm here to attend the wedding today, so it's not convenient for me to sign for you."

Best man Lu: "..." This woman!

Jian Jing asked again: "Do you want to sit down and eat together?"

Ha, you are so cruel. Best man Lu's plan failed, so he stopped pestering and said coldly, "No need", turned around and walked away with a vigorous step, as if someone owed him 100 million.

The writer next to him asked: "Is this the young master of the Lu family? Incredible, a rich second generation."

Jian Jing said very calmly: "I don't know him, the best men all look the same."

"This one is the most handsome." Everyone spoke conscientiously.

Jian Jing did not comment.

After lunch, the wedding banquet is over. The relatives and friends of the newlyweds will stay to chat, take pictures, and wait until the evening to have a second family dinner.

Jian Jing and the bride did not know each other at all, so he prepared to leave after the meal.

But Kang Mucheng seemed to have met a friend. The two sat alone in the corner of the cafe and kept discussing something in a low voice. It seemed that they were talking about business.

She didn't want to disturb them, nor did she want to take someone else's car, so she strolled in the back garden to digest her food and kill time.

About an hour later, she ran into the best man Lu who was in a hurry.

When he saw her, he immediately said, "You are here."

Jian Jing was very surprised. This guy was full of arrogance, but at this moment, his face was solemn, and his every move revealed his eagerness.

"Miss Jian, are you free? Aunt, the groom's father wants to see you." He whispered, "Please give him this face."

The groom's father wanted to see her, could it be that the groom ran away again?

Jian Jing became interested, but she wanted to ask first: "What's the matter?"

"You'll know when you get there." Best man Lu grabbed her arm, holding her tightly with his five fingers like iron clamps, and said loudly, "Miss Jian, the bride wants you to take pictures."

At the same time, another tall and strong best man came over, stroking her back with his weak hands, cutting off her escape route.

Jian Jing frowned: "What do you mean by this?"

"I'm sorry." Best man Lu looked solemn, "I'll apologize to Miss Jian later."

It was really unusual to send two best men to find her, and to look so tough. Jian Jing thought for a while, and didn't make a fuss, and took a step forward obediently. Best

man Lu breathed a sigh of relief and led her away quickly.

Jian Jing met the groom's father, the chairman of the Fang Group, in the waiting room. He was probably in his sixties or seventies, but he was well-maintained, with black hair, smooth skin, and few age spots.

"Hello, Miss Jian, I am Fang Limin, the father of the groom." Fang Dong spoke calmly, without any anxiety or panic, and no one could hear the emotion in his words. "I am sorry to ask you to come here. I really have no choice."

Jian Jing said, "May I ask what happened?"

"My child is dead." Fang Dong's eyes showed a trace of grief. "It is not convenient for me to call the police today. I want to ask you to find out who killed him."

Jian Jing paused and flatly refused: "Sorry, I don't have the qualifications to investigate the case. Let's call the police." Just kidding

, there are so many inside stories of the rich family. She has no relatives with the Fang family. Even if she is interested in reasoning, she doesn't want to get involved. What's more, without the qualifications to enforce the law, it is not right to investigate the case.

But Mr. Fang was obviously prepared: "Miss Jian, you are too modest. You helped me find Xiaoyan before. I also asked my friends about it. You have helped the police investigate many cases."

There was no bullying in his tone, but everyone could hear his determination and toughness.

This is an arrangement, not a discussion. You should be grateful, not bargain.

Jian Jing didn't buy it: "You also said that you are helping."

"What happened today cannot be spread. You are the most suitable person." Mr. Fang stared into her eyes, "Rongrong's father and I both believe in you."

Jian Jing said: "I am not familiar with Mr. Nie."

"You are familiar with Mr. Jinwu." Mr. Fang calmly pointed out the key point, "I have called Kang Lei, do you want to ask?"

Kang Lei is the name of President Kang.

"I understand. You said you were asking me for help, but you were actually threatening me." Jian Jing smiled, but said, "I'm a contracted writer of Jinwu, not an employee of Jinwu. The president won't order me like this."

She took out her mobile phone and asked, "How about I call and ask now?"

She didn't know President Kang's temperament, but no boss of other companies would be stupid enough to agree to it when they were in charge of their own people.

Besides, President Kang was able to start from scratch and get to where he is today, so he is definitely not someone who would easily compromise. Even Kang Mucheng would refuse such a request in person, at most as a junior, he would refuse in a more tactful way.

Chairman Fang was just bullying her because she was young and inexperienced, and using his power to force her.

Shameless.

The landlord looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled and said with admiration, "Well, Miss Jian is indeed smart. Please don't be surprised. Although I have heard from my friends that you are very capable, you are so young and it is inevitable that you are not practical."

He brushed off the threats and began to move people with emotion: "Miss Jian, please understand the pain of a father losing his son. I am sending off a young man with old hair."
