“I-I will take responsibility! It really was Second Master Xiao who asked me to do this. After all, I don’t know Governor Wu. I’m not crazy, so why else would I come here to capture him?”
“He doesn’t know Governor Wu either, so why would he ask you to capture him?” Li Heyi asked angrily.
“How should I know? Officer Li, this really has nothing to do with me!”
“I think I know why he wants to arrest Governor Wu,” said Chi Yang.
“Why?” Li Heyi looked at Chi Yang and asked.
“He wants something. As for what exactly, we’ll talk about it when we get to the police station. As for Xiao Chengan…”
Before Chi Yang could finish, Li Heyi said, “I’ll give Dad a call to explain this matter. Let’s see how he’ll deal with this.”
With that, he called Elder Xiao in front of everyone.
Xiao Yun picked up the phone. After hearing what Li Heyi said, a pained expression appeared on his face, and he said, “If he dared to do such a thing, he’s truly shameless. Since he’s shameless, you can be too. Arrest Guo Langming first. I’ll get Xiao Chengan arrested too. After the trial, we’ll know everything that happened between them.”
“Yes, Dad. I’ll arrest Guo Langming now.”
Since Li Heyi had put him on speaker, all the guests heard Elder Xiao’s answer. They silently praised this upright old general, but at the same time, they felt sorry for the old general for having such a son.
After hearing Elder Xiao’s words, Guo Langming knew that he was doomed. His body went limp, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground. He stumbled and fell directly into the hands of the police officer beside him.
The policeman helped him stand up and put the handcuffs on him.
Guo Langming’s plan had been halted. The banquet could truly begin now!
Wu Jingzhong expressed his gratitude to all the guests for their support here today. He told everyone the reason why he had not been married all these years and introduced his daughter, Wu Lingyun, to everyone.
After that, in front of the guests, Wu Lingyun made a cup of tea for her grandfather and father. From now on, Wu Lingyun was officially the eldest daughter of the Wu family.
Wu Pingting had high standards. None of the young masters from Sea District’s wealthy families had succeeded in pursuing her. After so many years, everyone had given up. Now, the Wu family had another daughter! The previously-rejected young masters were like male peacocks, spreading their tails one by one and rushing to announce their presence.
Xiao Yuqi’s sharp eyes stared at the male peacocks surrounding her future daughter-in-law. She slowly went downstairs, took a glass of champagne, and walked to Wu Lingyun’s side.
There were three men around her, and one was talking to her. Even though the guys here could not compare to her son, her son could be a blockhead sometimes, and he was also a soldier… He was really at a disadvantage in this aspect!
She thought about how the glorious daughter-in-law of the Chi family could not resist the temptation to run away with the Pei family. His son’s status was not as glorious as the Chi family’s!
Xiao Yuqi had been entrusted by her son to attend this event in his place, so she walked up to Wu Lingyun’s side like a warrior. Then, she reached out and wrapped her arm around her shoulder.
“Lingyun, are these your friends?”
Wu Lingyun looked at the men and nodded with a slight blush. “They’re not friends. I just met him.”
After all, she had only just walked over to them. The man had not introduced himself yet.
