Chapter 265: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Zhu Xueheng nodded, "Of course!"

Su Xi wasn't comfortable with the three of them, so he kept people nearby, letting Su Xi attend to the banquet with peace of mind!

After speaking, Zhu Xueheng looked at Su Xi with a pleading, praising gaze, hoping he would give a response.

But Su Xi himself had already left. He had many tasks: he needed someone to inspect all the clothes in the changing rooms, and someone to catch Ji Xiaoling and others hidden among the guests.

When greeting the guests, Su Yu's face was about to freeze from smiling too much. She didn't understand why Zhu Xueheng and Liang Lijiang had to welcome guests outside, then go through the wedding procedure again.

Su Yu didn't understand, but Zhu Xueheng laughed heartily!

Throughout the whole process, Su Yu's most tiring part was her face. She rubbed her cute little face, snuggling in her mother's arms and acting spoiled.

"Mom, where did you just go?"

【The wedding is over, I only just saw you; what were you busy with just now?】

Ji Yan held Su Yu and fed her a sliced steak.

"Mom went with Aunt Tang to tidy the clothes, and only now has time!"

"Mom, you've worked hard!"

Su Yu pretended to massage Ji Yan's shoulders, then Ji Yan pressed her back into her arms.

"Stop messing around!"

"Hehe, Mom, where are Can Can and Huo Huo?"

"Can Can left with Aunt Tang, and Uncle Ren got injured."

"Uncle Ren okay?"

【Huh? What happened?】

Su Yu was just acting as a mascot on stage delivering a ring; how did Ren Tiandu get injured? Did he offend someone?

"It's fine, the preparations here are complete; although there's no ambulance, doctors from various departments were called, and after simple treatment, he rode a special vehicle to the hospital for care."

"Alright!"

【Hmm, unfortunately I let Wulongcha go accompany Uncle, otherwise I could know what happened now.】

"Mom, where's Huo Huo?"

"She's with her dad and mom!"

Liang Lijiang married Zhu Xueheng; Liang Yan is the young master. She was originally of the Zhu Clan, now the heir of the Hengjiang Group, and participating in the reception at her own wedding is normal socializing.

After asking the little buddy, Su Yu felt at ease eating.

【I don't know how Uncle is doing; Dad didn't hold Uncle back, right?】

Su Xi reported that things weren't great; today just watching the surveillance made him want to vomit. Zhu Xueheng's banquet went smoothly, now entering the social segment, Zhu Xueheng is eating and drinking carefree.

Su Xi sat on the cold chair in the police station, wearing a cold expression, awaiting the outcome. If it weren't for his younger brother and Ji Tianlin accompanying him, he would have wanted to strike.

"The kitchen issue has already found the culprit; what's the next place's problem?"

The police station's youngster was still quite happy; the events of this banquet boosted their monthly performance. It's just that today was exhausting, reviewing case after case, possibly needing overtime!

"Surveillance room!"

Su Xi submitted the evidence and personnel information, then waited for the police to find the "principal culprit"!

Su Yi's keen nose caught a ramen scent, "Why are we here?"

If it were at the banquet, he would now surely be a dashing husband in a sharp suit, slicing steak for his wife, rather than a errand boy handing documents and calming the scene.

Su Xi ignored his occasionally muddled younger brother, but Ji Tianlin was puzzled, "Who did Zhu Xueheng offend to treat him like this?"

Looking at today's whole scheme, that person not only wants to sabotage Zhu Xueheng and Liang Lijiang's wedding, but also wants Su Xi and Zhu Xueheng to become mortal enemies.

Su Yu's comment was half correct; the people behind indeed wanted to kidnap children, but the target wasn't their trio, it was the kids brought by the banquet guests. Su Xi discovered it early, so those people never got a chance to act.

Su Xi answered seriously, "It's the Shui Family."

He had seen a certain face and knew the person worked for the Shui Family. He could even guess the mastermind's intentions. By choosing this place to cause so many incidents, both the Su Family and the Zhu Family suffered losses; no one can come out ahead!

Ji Tianlin narrowed his eyes, "The natal home of that crazy old woman where Little Yu stayed before?"

"Right! Last time Zhu Xueheng mocked their precious great‑grandson, turning the Shui Family's beloved great‑grandson into a joke in the circle."

The Yan Family wasn't a minor household; thanks to a strikingly beautiful daughter, the Yan Family had a decent presence in the circle. Yet compared with the Ye Family, the Yan Family lagged far behind!

"So the Shui Family didn't get it?"

The Ye Family's old retainers, grateful and repaying kindness, almost treated the Ye Family's elder as a patriarch, despite no blood ties. The Ye Family's old retainers are about to retire; they approached Elder Ye, asking him to name a successor.

But the Ye Family's son went into business; among the grandchildren, there is only one precious granddaughter and a grandson. The grandson is incompetent, only fit for clerical work; the granddaughter is more capable and can inherit her parents' company. Losing the military influence that way is a pity. Many people have set their sights on the Ye Family's sole granddaughter.

As long as one marries her home, the Ye Family's supporting son‑in‑law is normal. Ye Ruotian is beautiful, and ambitious single men in the circle pursue her incessantly.

The Shui Family's status isn't low; with just one precious great‑grandson, the Ye Family was initially reluctant, but couldn't resist the sincerity the Shui Family offered, which the Ye Family couldn't refuse.

Just as the two families were about to intermarry, Yan Ranran appeared mid‑way, causing the marriage to fall through, and Yan Ranran was already pregnant.

Su Xi remained silent but nodded.

Su Yi knew this gossip: Zhu Xueheng often visited the Su Family to see Liang Yan; after a while they became familiar. When Zhu Xueheng is around acquaintances, he loves to gossip.

The Ke Family rejected the Yan Family and even posted about Ms. Yan Ranran on a public platform within the circle; pregnant, Yan Ranran quietly married into the Shui Family, without even a simple wedding, merely pulling a certificate.

The Shui Family didn't like Yan Ranran, but their long‑line single‑generation lineage valued the child in Yan Ranran's womb greatly. Yan Ranran wasn't a naive flower; leveraging her pregnancy, she extracted many resources for the Yan Family.

Su Yi remembered Zhu Xueheng calling Yan Ranran a fool. Indeed, she hadn't even gotten on her feet, yet she made huge demands, wiping out all of the Shui Family's guilt toward her. The Yan Family did pamper her, but only for her utility, not for her as a person. She built her foothold in the Shui Family not for her own benefit, but for the family that had already abandoned her.

"It's said the Shui Family has recently been praying to gods and worshipping Buddha!"

The gender of the child in Yan Ranran's womb is unknown; Ji Tianlin thought they were praying for a boy.

"This kind of thing depends on the Shui Family's precious great‑grandson, right?"

Ji Tianlin stressed "precious great‑grandson". Ji Tianlin himself had been mocked by that old Shui Family member, who said he produced a loss‑making offspring and wasted effort searching for it, truly not worth it.

Su Yi keenly felt that what he told his father‑in‑law wasn't the same matter.
