Lingxiao Pavilion is a vast intelligence network, with informants and intelligence systems spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, and its intelligence capabilities are top-notch even on a global scale.

Investigating the Han family was a piece of cake, requiring almost no effort.

Based on Liu Ruxue's reaction, Ye Chen felt that something was wrong, so he asked Li Muling to investigate the Liu and Han families.

Less than two hours later, news arrived.

Li Muling, dressed in a silk camisole, sat cross-legged on the sofa, a hint of interest in her eyes.

"Oh? Tell me, what are their schemes?"

Before, Gu Jia had been researching brain-computer interfaces for medical use, and recently it has entered the final stage.

The Han family spent a large sum of money to bribe researchers, steal all the research data, and have already registered the patents ahead of time.

Upon hearing this news, Li Muling's face turned grim.

Things are getting a bit complicated.

Gu Ning had told her about this project, and it was also a key project in the cooperation between the Li and Gu families. Now that the Han family had snatched it away, they would suffer heavy losses.

The Li family estimates they will lose 50 billion, while the Gu family will likely go bankrupt.

However, as the sixth sword maiden of Lingxiao Pavilion, although she was young, she had experienced many trials and tribulations and quickly regained her composure.

"I understand. You may leave now."

After dismissing her subordinates, she originally wanted to call Ye Chen immediately, but considering that Ye Chen had been busy all night, she decided to wait until tomorrow.

Since the incident has already happened and can't be resolved in a short time, it's best not to disturb his rest.

The next morning at 10:00 AM, in the lobby of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Gu Ning and Ye Chen came to get their marriage certificate.

Today she wore a white shirt and had her hair in a bun. She was a little shy when she held Ye Chen's hand, looking like a young girl in love, which was extremely cute.

Ye Chen also wore light makeup, looking handsome and sunny.

"Honey, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

"Hmm, you look kind of cute."

Ye Chen gave her a silly grin.

Gu Ning smiled sweetly. This silly husband of hers could actually say sweet words. She immediately held his hand even tighter.

"Hahaha, I never thought this old man would live to see this day! Great, wonderful!"

A hearty laugh came from behind them as Jiang Zhiruo helped Ye Tianfeng walk over. Behind them were several elders who were close to Ye Chen and had come to witness this historic moment.

"Honey, let's get our marriage certificate soon."

Ye Chen was also a little excited, and pulled Gu Ning to sit by the window.

However, just as they were about to get their marriage certificate, a shout suddenly came from not far away to stop them.

"No, you can't get married!"

Everyone turned to look and saw Gu Ning's parents, Gu Yuanshan and Jiang Yumei, walking briskly towards them.

Gu Yuanshan hugged Gu Ning and started crying.

"Daughter, please don't get married, okay? Daddy can't bear to part with you, sob sob..."

"Dad, stop it, there are so many people watching." Gu Ning quickly pushed him away.

Ye Chen watched helplessly from the side. He had already investigated and found that his father-in-law was a typical doting father.

At this moment, Jiang Yumei looked at the Ye family members and snorted coldly.

"Although my father agreed to this marriage, to be honest, I don't think much of this son-in-law. I'd be happy to have him marry into the family, but my daughter has no chance of marrying into the family!"

"How can this be? Ah Chen is now the only male heir in our Ye family."

"That's right, no man from the Ye family will marry into another family."

Jiang Zhiruo and the others immediately objected, and then a verbal battle ensued among the women.

Ye Tianfeng and his grandson Ye Chen exchanged a glance, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"You two wretched children, stop it! Stop making a scene!"

At the critical moment, Gu Long, the patriarch of the Gu family, arrived.

He wielded great authority in the Gu family, and with his intervention, Gu Yuanshan and Jiang Yumei immediately backed down.

"Brother Ye, I'm so sorry. It's my fault for not managing the household properly; you must have found this embarrassing."

Ye Tianfeng smiled and said, "It's alright. It's only natural for parents to be reluctant to let their daughters get married."

"Dad, but I really don't want to leave Ningning!" Gu Yuanshan was on the verge of tears.

Gu Long was about to reprimand him when he heard Ye Tianfeng say with a smile.

"It's unlikely that Ah Chen will marry into the family, but I can agree that after the two children get married, they can each live in the Gu and Ye families' homes for a period of time. What do you think, Brother Gu?"

"How can this be allowed?" Gu Long hurriedly refused upon hearing this.

He knew some secrets about Ye Chen that others didn't.

Although he didn't know how powerful Ye Chen was, the mysterious woman he was engaged to was a figure standing at the pinnacle of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

How bad could her apprentices be?

The entire city of Jiangcheng felt that Gu Ning was marrying down to Ye Chen.

But only he knew that Gu Ning's marriage to Ye Chen was a step up for their Gu family.

Just as the two elderly people were arguing, Ye Chen suddenly clapped and cheered.

"Okay, okay, I want to stay at Ningning's wife's house."

According to the information he had Li Muling find out about the Gu family, the old master Gu is getting old and his energy is failing, and the Gu family is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.

Gu Ning's father, Gu Yuanshan, the eldest son of the Gu family, is not very capable. Apart from loving his daughter, he is useless in every other way.

Both the second branch of the Gu family, led by Gu Yuancheng, and the third branch, led by Gu Yuanjian, are eyeing the position of family head and chairman of the Gu Group.

He stayed at the Gu family's house for a while, which would be convenient for him to help Gu Ning solve these two problems.

"Haha, since Ah Chen has already spoken, Brother Gu, you shouldn't refuse anymore," Ye Tianfeng said with a smile.

"Alright, thank you for your understanding, Brother Ye and Young Master Ye."

Upon hearing this compromise, Gu Yuanshan and Jiang Yumei stopped making a fuss.

Ye Chen and Gu Ning successfully obtained their marriage certificate.

"Come on, Brother Ye, I recently discovered a nice teahouse. Let's go have some tea together."

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Gu Long immediately took Ye Tianfeng away.

The Ye family members and Gu Yuanshan and his wife also dispersed.

Gu Ning blinked her big eyes as she looked at Ye Chen's handsome profile, still somewhat unable to believe that she had actually married the white moonlight of her youth. Her heart was filled with happiness.

Just then, Lin Shasha called Ye Chen and asked him to go out.

He also said he had some incredibly good news to tell him.

Ye Chen was speechless. All this girl does is play all day long. Doesn't she have anything serious to do?

However, he had already guessed about the good news. He guessed that the little girl had obtained the water from that gourd of Breakthrough Pills and had broken through to the Qi Refining Grandmaster realm.

"Ah Chen, give me the phone."

Gu Ning answered the phone, saying that she had something to do at her company and asked Lin Shasha to come and pick up Ye Chen.

She felt at ease knowing that Lin Shasha was taking care of Ye Chen.

Shortly after, a pink sports car pulled up to the side of the road. Lin Shasha took off her sunglasses and jumped out of the car.

"Congratulations to Brother Chen and Sister-in-law on getting their marriage certificate! Wishing you a long and happy life together, and may you give me a nephew soon!"

Lin Shasha giggled and laughed, making Gu Ning blush.

"Alright, you take Ah Chen to play, I'll be going now."

After picking up Ye Chen, Lin Shasha didn't really know where to go. Since it was almost time, she could only find a place to eat first.

"Ding-dong."

Ye Chen's phone rang as soon as he sat down in the restaurant.

Li Muling sent a message: "Master, the investigation into the Liu family and the Gu family has yielded results."
