Chapter 183

The man in the middle pondered for a while, then made a firm decision, "Let's do it!"

"I'll arrange it right away!"

However, Wei Qing felt it wasn't the right time, "Father, I think we need to wait a little longer."

Her uncle Wei Zhongliang said, "What are we waiting for? This is a good opportunity! I'll arrange it right away." He then left.

Wei Qing frowned, "Father!" Were the people from the Song and Chi families really that simple?

Wei Zhongcheng raised his hand, "No need to say more, let's do it this way."

At the hotel, everything was going smoothly for now. On the stage, Song Luokui and Chi Yu were reading their wedding vows. After that, the two gave a brief speech, expressing their happiness that everyone could attend to witness their engagement ceremony, and hoping everyone would enjoy the food and drinks.

While they were on stage, someone walked over and whispered something to Song Moqian and Chi Yong separately.

Chi Yong and Song Moqian exchanged a glance. After Song Luokui and Chi Yu finished, it was the parents' turn to give speeches. The parents from both families went on stage.

"We hope our children will walk through all the ups and downs of life hand in hand from now on, respect and love each other, and grow old together... We are also very grateful for your presence today, for this is our daughter/son's joyous occasion... Thank you all."

Just as the words were spoken, a group of people suddenly entered from outside, walking straight to the front of the stage. "We're sorry to interrupt, but we need to investigate something."

Chi Yong and Song Moqian exchanged another look. Chi Yong spoke first, "Today is a happy occasion for the children. If you need to investigate something, I'll go with you."

The investigation team said, "Sir Song may need to come along as well."

Sheng Rong immediately gripped Song Moqian's hand tightly. Song Moqian patted her hand, "It's alright, I'll be right back."

Many people in the audience were watching the investigation team. The team members felt a lot of pressure, considering the people present here... But they had no choice!

Alas, they hoped the Chi and Song families wouldn't blame them.

Apart from Chi Yong and Song Moqian, several others were also taken away, including Ji Xiao's father.

Song Luokui was dumbfounded by this scene. She froze for a moment, about to step forward, but Chi Yu immediately embraced her, "Don't move. Your father and the others will handle it."

Song Luokui looked up at him, "You know something, don't you?"

Chi Yu shook his head, "I'm not entirely clear, but I can guess. I'll apologize to you later, but for now, it's too dangerous outside. Why don't we stay here and entertain the guests?"

The remaining guests were confused, unaware of why this sudden incident occurred during the otherwise pleasant engagement ceremony.

Sheng Rong was the first to step forward, "It's alright, everyone enjoy the food and drinks. They'll be back soon."

Yan Sui also said, "It's nothing serious, don't worry. Are the delicacies not enticing enough today? Please savor them at your leisure."

The host promptly livened up the atmosphere, playing upbeat music. Since the Song and Chi families seemed so calm, the guests assumed it couldn't be anything serious and continued eating and drinking.

Those with weaker resolve left quickly, but Sheng Rong and Yan Sui didn't force them to stay. Some who knew the specifics remained nonchalant, continuing to eat and merely reminding their family members, "Just enjoy the food, don't pry too much. It's nothing serious."

Hearing this, their family members relaxed, for they were part of the Song/Chi family's circle. If something happened to the leaders, then they...

Since the family leaders said it wasn't a problem, then it must not be a problem.

Loulishu and Zhang Xiyue had no idea what was going on, so they could only look to their fathers or mothers. However, seeing their calm demeanors, they also felt reassured that nothing serious had occurred.

However, even until the end of the engagement ceremony, Song Moqian, Chi Yong, and the others hadn't returned. Song Luokui sat in her room, looking at Sheng Rong, "Mom, what about Dad...?"

Sheng Rong hugged her, "It's alright. I'm sorry such an incident occurred on your engagement day." Sheng Rong's expression held some guilt. "You'll know tomorrow. Your father will be fine."

Song Luokui looked at Chi Yu, feeling that everyone was hiding something from her.

But she had no choice but to stay in the room.

"And I'm a little scared." Song Luokui lowered her eyes.

Chi Yu gently asked, "Scared of what?"

Song Luokui raised her eyelids, "Maybe I'm scared of entering a new stage, afraid that after our engagement, I won't be able to be like before."

When they were just boyfriend and girlfriend, it was fine, they could break up if they wanted to, but with Chi Yu coming to her family, and her visiting Chi Yu's parents, the two families were closely tied together, they were on the same boat, and if one side had trouble, the other side would lend a hand.

This feeling didn't just appear recently, it had been there from the beginning, probably because she felt like things were progressing too fast, and she hadn't had time to transition into her new role.

Song Luokui really admired Tu Shanyue's courage, she had decided in just three months. She had asked her why she wasn't afraid, and Tu Shanyue told her, "Because I knew from the beginning that I was going to have an arranged marriage, and since it was going to be an arranged marriage, feelings had to be put aside first. It's not wrong to cultivate feelings, but I would still pursue the maximum benefit. In the face of benefits, I think feelings aren't worth mentioning."

Tu Shanyue was very clear-headed, her family didn't raise her to be a romantic.

Her situation was different from Song Luokui's. Song Luokui and Chi Yu got together because they had feelings for each other, so she would also think about what would happen if their relationship broke down. With the two families tied together like this, she felt like they couldn't separate even if their feelings weren't good in the future.

"Don't be afraid, you're still you, you're Song Luokui, the precious daughter of the Song Family, and now you've just added another identity, the precious daughter of the Chi Family. Whatever you want to do in the future, just do it. If you want a career, go for it, if you don't, you can travel the world freely."

"After you graduate from university, if you want to go for a master's degree, go for it, if you don't want to, that's fine too. Even if you get married in the future, you can still do whatever you want. If you don't want to live in the main residence, then don't, you can live anywhere you want in Jing City. Even if you don't want to have children, that's fine too. As long as you're happy."

"I will remove any obstacle that makes you unhappy!" Chi Yu promised.

He knelt on one knee in front of Song Luokui, resting his head gently on her thigh, "I am your captive, so you can do whatever you want."

Song Luokui lowered her head and caressed his face, "Thank you."

Chi Yu stood up and hugged her, "It's late, shall we rest?"

Song Luokui: "Okay."

The next morning, Chi Yu and Song Luokui returned to the main residence, originally to have a meal with both families, but Song Moqian and the others hadn't returned yet, so Chi Yu sent Song Luokui home and left to help out.

This time, the Wei Family, the Chen Family, and those people wouldn't be able to escape!

Yesterday afternoon, while Chi Yu and the others were at the engagement banquet, Wei Zhongliang had arranged for people to arrest Chi Yong, Song Moqian, and others, and even sent people to their offices to steal seals and documents.

So that's why Chi Yong and Song Moqian were taken away at the engagement banquet, but what they didn't know was that those who went to steal weren't able to steal anything and were caught red-handed. Not only that, as soon as Song Moqian entered the interrogation room, even before being questioned, he directly said: "I have evidence of the Wei Family colluding with foreign enemies and committing treason!"

Piles of evidence were immediately presented, including collusion, assassination attempts, bribery, and more.

Soon after, the Wei Family was surrounded. Wei Zhongcheng first arranged for Wei Qing to leave and find someone, then he went with the investigators.

But as soon as Wei Qing left the Wei Family, he was tailed. It took him great effort to finally escape. When he called his brother, he found out that he had been betrayed and was almost caught. When he tried to contact people on his mother's side, the phones were unreachable.

After running all night, Wei Qing discovered that the company had been sealed off, and even he, the boss, had to be investigated. Furthermore, his father and uncle had not called back.

Not long after, when he went to a supermarket to buy some water, he found that the early morning news surprisingly reported that the Wei Family had committed treason by selling out the country!

It even mentioned him as a fugitive, not just him, but also Wei Li whom he had sent abroad.

Other close associates of their family were all subject to investigation.

Wei Qing hurriedly paid, but the checkout girl looked at his face and then at the TV, "Hey? Are you the one on TV?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Qing threw down ten dollars, "No." Then he left, but people had already started chasing him as he fled.

Wei Qing had no choice but to keep running...

However, he couldn't get away and was soon surrounded...

Song Luokui had been watching the news at home to keep up with recent events. When she saw Wei Qing being arrested, she suddenly felt it was quite dramatic. However, she remembered that Wei Qing had some cooperation with her brother, so it shouldn't affect her brother, right?

Then she thought that her brother hadn't called back home recently either. Song Luokui had tried calling him, but it wasn't her brother who answered, it was his secretary. She didn't know what her brother was up to.

After that day, Chi Yu hadn't come back either, but he would send her messages every day to let her know he was safe. Due to the confidentiality of the matter, he couldn't say too much.
