Fortunately, at this moment, the Master of Ceremonies took the stage to speak, and the crowd finally quieted down.
However, a new problem arose. Soon, the bride and groom were supposed to bow to both sets of parents. What if Mina's parents didn't hurry back in time?
Thinking of this made me anxious, and I couldn't care less about my awkwardness with Xiao Minxing. I took out my mobile phone to call him.
The call connected, but the entire wedding venue was filled with the Master of Ceremonies' voice and the laughter and blessings from the crowd. I couldn't hear a word he was saying on the other end.
I was extremely anxious but felt helpless, my eyes constantly glancing towards the entrance.
Before the couple took the stage, Xiao Minxing finally appeared at the entrance with Mina's parents.
The heavy stone in my heart dropped with a thud, almost bringing me to tears. Looking at him felt like seeing a savior.
He nodded at me and then made his way through the crowd, escorting Mina's parents to the backstage.
The wedding proceeded smoothly; Mina and Longwen exchanged rings on stage, and when they kissed, the whole venue erupted in cheers.
At that moment, all past efforts bore fruit, and the future looked bright. I felt happy for Mina while also thinking about myself and Xiao Minxing.
He stood beside me, appearing no different from before, but thoughts about Chen Xiangzhi felt like a thorn stuck in my heart, making it hard to breathe.
When Su Qian and Zhuo Feng returned, the wedding was already nearing its end.
I glanced behind them and asked, "What happened to those two?"
Su Qian casually replied, "They've been locked up."
"Where have they been locked up? They are Mina's family. Isn't it a bit wrong for us to do this?" Although I was extremely dissatisfied with Miyong and his wife, we had brought them here but didn't let them attend the wedding. Now they were locked up, and it felt a bit difficult to explain to Mina.
Xiao Minxing coldly took over the conversation, saying, "Let's wait until this is over before we tell Mina."
It wasn't until the evening that I learned Miyong had been taken back to their hotel room and locked up, with someone stationed at the Entrance.
Given Miyong's temperament, he naturally made a scene and caused chaos in the hotel room. If he weren't so unfamiliar with this place, he might have even called the police.
So when he saw us, he rushed over.
Su Qian and Xiao Minxing restrained him on either side and pushed him back into the room, saying, "Behave yourself; if you keep causing trouble, you won't gain anything."
Miyong was very unwilling, but he was also smart. When he saw that we didn't let his parents near him and didn't bring Mina over, even after Su Qian and Xiao Minxing pushed him back and I left with Ye Guang, he stopped making a fuss.
We only discussed this matter before leaving Hong Kong.
Miyong used all his tricks to get Mina to agree to let them stay in Hong Kong.
Just thinking about his rogue attitude made me feel sorry for Mina. I was afraid that he would cause her more trouble here. After all, Longwen came from a big family. If Miyong really caused a scene, it would only embarrass her further. She was already alone here, vulnerable without support or companionship, and now she had an incompetent brother added to her troubles—what a nightmare.
However, Mina smiled and said, "It's best if they can stay here. I want to get their paperwork done as soon as possible. It's better for them to be under my watch than worrying my parents."
"But what if he causes you trouble in the future?" I asked Mina.
She just laughed: "What's so difficult about that? Don't you trust me? I've dealt with all kinds of rogues. If it weren't for worrying about my parents' feelings, he would have already settled down."
Hearing her say that, I felt a little relieved.
However, Mina also asked me to do one thing, which was to arrange for his parents to stay in Haicheng.
Honestly, I didn't quite understand this because she wasn't there herself, and now Miyong had gone to Hong Kong. His parents would be unfamiliar with Haicheng; to be honest, it would be better for them to live in their hometown.
But Mina was clear about her intentions. She said she still had her house in Haicheng, and after the two elderly people arrived, they could live there. She would take care of everything related to their daily life.
Seeing that she had already made arrangements, I didn't know what else to say. Instead, Xiao Minxing looked at her and asked, "Aren't you planning to stay here?"
Mina just smiled and didn't elaborate.
We parted ways at the airport, leaving three people behind: besides Miyong and his wife, there was also Su Qian.
This Good Fellow had been acting mysteriously since returning from Mina's wedding. When he came back, he had already mentioned that he wanted to stay here for a few days and asked us to leave first.
Su Qian was used to freedom, so no one paid much attention until I returned to Haicheng and received a call from Mina saying that Su Qian might have met a girl he liked in Hong Kong.
"Really? Is that why he didn't come back?" I asked in surprise.
Mina laughed on the other end and said, "It seems so; he looked quite infatuated."
"Seriously? At his age, he's still playing love at first sight?"
Having known Su Qian for quite a while, I wouldn't be surprised if there were women around him. But if he changed his schedule and plans for a woman, even becoming infatuated—that was something I had never seen before. So I was extremely curious about this woman Mina mentioned.
However, as soon as we returned, we got busy dealing with the piled-up work. Moreover, the police had made further progress regarding the recent fire incident. On the afternoon of the day we returned to Haicheng, Xiao Minxing and I went to the police station.
During our few days in Hong Kong, they retrieved surveillance footage from nearby merchants and companies, and one segment captured the person who had hidden in the darkness at that time.
There were two scenes: one showed him wearing the same clothes he had on when he entered our company, turning into a small alley.
The other scene depicted a man in a trench coat exiting the alley and hailing a taxi on the main street.
The police said, "We have already apprehended this person, and it has been confirmed that he started the fire that night. After leaving the burning site, he changed his clothes in this small dark alley and took a taxi to escape."
"Where is he now?" After asking, I realized there was something awkward about my question and glanced at Xiao Minxing.
He had remained silent, and after his eyes moved away from the video footage, he lowered his eyelids as if lost in thought.
The police explained to me, "He is here with us, but based on the interrogation results, this person was paid to help someone else, and he has also revealed the person behind it."
"Who?" This time, both Xiao Minxing and I asked together.
The police told us a familiar name: "Jin Ke."
"Isn't she dead?" I blurted out without thinking, quickly realizing I had asked an incredibly foolish question.
When the fire broke out, Jin Ke was not dead.
