The evil dragon has been released from prison; it will only kill, not save!

After Su Zhiyuan finished clapping, he took two steps back and put his hands in the pockets of his trench coat.

"Qin Hao, let me give you a piece of advice. Before things get out of control, obediently come with me to the Su family, kowtow three times to the second young master, and pay two hundred million in medical expenses—"

"Have you said enough?"

Yu Lingxiao stood up from the main table.

She wore a dark blue fitted long dress today, with her hair up, looking like a lady attending a banquet.

But the way she walks, every step, carries the rhythm of a soldier.

Su Zhiyuan turned his head and glanced at her.

"And this is—"

Yu Lingxiao walked up to Su Zhiyuan, took out a black leather wallet from his handbag, and opened it.

Military officer's ID.

"Longhai War Zone, Major General, Yu Lingxiao."

Su Zhiyuan's smile froze instantly.

Yu Lingxiao didn't give him time to react, turning to look down the corridor—Tian Fangjing was being helped by the young law enforcement officer, his arms hanging limply, groaning as he walked towards the elevator.

"stop."

Tian Fangjing turned around and saw the military officer's ID card in Yu Lingxiao's hand, his expression changing several times.

"Tian Fangjing, right?" Yu Lingxiao's voice was not loud. "I have a few questions for you, and you'd better answer them truthfully."

Sweat beaded on Tian Fangjing's forehead.

"First, who sent you here today?"

Tian Fangjing gritted his teeth.

"I—I received a report filed under my real name—"

"Where are the materials for the report? Show them to me."

Tian Fangjing remained silent for two seconds.

"At...at the station."

"You came to arrest someone without any evidence?" Yu Lingxiao took a step forward. "Do you think the hundreds of people here are blind?"

She took out her phone and dialed a number in front of everyone.

"Hey? Is this the Municipal Bureau? I am Major General Yu Lingxiao from the Longhai Military Region, officer number JK-0073."

"I'm currently at the Peninsula Hotel. A deputy captain from your city's police department is suspected of accepting bribes, fabricating evidence, and illegally detaining citizens in public."

"Yes, his surname is Tian, ​​Tian Fangjing. Please send someone to handle this."

Tian Fangjing's legs went weak.

"Sir—General Yu—I, I was just following orders—"

"On whose orders?"

Tian Fangjing glanced at Su Zhiyuan subconsciously.

Just one glance is enough.

Su Zhiyuan's expression finally changed.

He took half a step back, moved his lips a few times, and turned to leave.

"stop."

Qin Hao's voice came from behind him.

Su Zhiyuan stopped in his tracks.

"Wei Shiyue".

"Your subordinate is here."

"Keep all the Su family members here. We'll hand them over when the city police arrive."

Wei Shiyue, accompanied by three men in black, blocked the side door of the banquet hall.

The dozen or so men behind Su Zhiyuan looked at each other, and none of them dared to move.

Su Zhiyuan turned around, his composure completely gone.

"Qin Hao, you—"

"Su Zhiyuan." Qin Hao didn't stand up, but sat with his legs crossed in the chair. "What did you just say? That you wanted me to go to the Su family and kowtow?"

Su Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, unable to utter a single word.

"Go back and tell Su Jingwen." Qin Hao picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said, "He didn't come to the hotel today; he's lucky he escaped unscathed. But he'd better behave himself and not swagger in front of me, otherwise..."

He paused.

"You've all seen what happened to Su Jingyan!"

The banquet hall was silent for three seconds.

Then Zhang Lianming was the first to applaud.

"Great! That felt good!"

Applause spread.

Meng Xingyan clapped along, and Xu Shaotang, Fang Qiming, Qian Demao—one by one—stood up, and the applause grew louder and louder.

Su Zhiyuan stood there, trembling from the applause.

Fang Jiuming stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder.

"Young Master Su, please."

Su Zhiyuan was pushed into a chair in the corner, with two men in black standing on either side of him.

His dozen or so men were also surrounded by Wei Shiyue's men and obediently squatted against the wall.

Tian Fangjing was slumped on the corridor floor, supported by a young law enforcement officer. Neither of them dared to run away.

Yu Lingxiao put away his phone and walked back to the main table to sit down.

As she passed Qin Hao, she muttered, "Could you please not hit me in front of me next time? I'm tired of cleaning up the mess."

Qin Hao raised his glass to her.

"Thank you for your hard work, Third Sister-in-law."

Yu Lingxiao rolled his eyes and sat down to drink.

Shen Youchu finally loosened her clenched fist.

She sat back down in her chair, picked up the champagne and took a big gulp, her hand still trembling slightly.

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhenhai finally felt a sense of relief.

He slammed his hand on the table twice.

"Continue! The wedding continues!"

Yu Zhendong walked onto the stage at the opportune moment and firmly grasped the microphone again.

"Distinguished guests, the little interlude is over. Now—let's continue the bride and groom's ceremony."

He looked at Qin Hao and Lin Chutang.

"Please come up on stage, both of you."

Qin Hao stood up and extended his hand to Lin Chutang.

Lin Chutang gripped his fingers, much tighter than before.

Still nervous?

"I'm not nervous anymore." Lin Chutang looked up at him. "With you here, I'm not afraid."

The two returned to the stage.

Face to face in front of the flower wall.

Yu Zhendong raised the microphone.

"Groom, Qin Hao, do you take Lin Chutang to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to stay with you forever?"

"I do."

"Bride, Lin Chutang, do you take Qin Hao to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for this life and for the next?"

Lin Chutang's fingers tightened.

"I do."

"Exchange rings."

Qin Hao took out a ring box from his suit pocket.

Inside, there was a platinum wedding ring set with diamonds, featuring a pigeon blood ruby ​​in the center that refracted a flowing luster under the light.

He gently slipped the ring onto Lin Chutang's ring finger.

Lin Chutang also took out another one from her chest—a plain silver one, without any gemstones, but with two small characters engraved on the inner circle: Haotang.

She pushed the ring onto Qin Hao's finger.

Yu Zhendong's voice was tinged with laughter.

"The ceremony is complete. Groom, you may now kiss the bride."

Whistles and applause erupted from the audience.

Qin Hao lowered his head.

Lin Chutang closed her eyes.

……

There was thunderous applause.

Offstage, Qin Zhenhai vigorously wiped the corners of his eyes.

Zhang Yufen's face was covered in tears, but she held onto Chen Guilan's hand tightly.

Shen Youchu held her wine glass, a slight smile playing on her lips, but said nothing.

Yu Lingxiao rested his chin on his hands and whistled towards the stage.

After the ceremony, the banquet resumed its lively atmosphere.

The interrupted atmosphere quickly warmed up after the kiss, and the guests clinked glasses and laughed.

Qin Hao stepped off the stage and walked to a corner.

Fang Jiuming leaned closer.

"Master, the city police will be here in half an hour. Su Zhiyuan's gang—"

"Hand it over to the Municipal Bureau." Qin Hao took a sip of water. "Let them suffer the consequences they deserve. I'll settle the score with the Su family myself."

"Yes. There's one more thing." Fang Jiuming lowered his voice, "We've found out about that kitchen helper."

"Who sent them?"

"A member of the Su family. The helper is a temporary worker placed in the hotel by the Su family. He started three days ago and was specifically there to prepare for today."

Qin Hao put down his water glass.

"Su Wenbin".

He pronounced the name with a calm tone.

Fang Jiuming, however, sensed the murderous intent in that tone.

"What the cult leader means is—"

"We'll talk about it after the wedding." Qin Hao glanced at the lively guests in the hall. "Today is a joyous day for Chu Tang and me; it's best not to cause any trouble."

"Understood."

Fang Jiuming withdrew.

Qin Hao straightened his cuffs, turned around and walked back to the banquet.

Lin Chutang was talking to Zhang Yufen when she saw him return and smiled at him.

Qin Hao sat down next to her and poured her a glass of juice.

"Are you tired?"
