The Game Behind the Scenes~

With his long neck and slender waist, Jing Yi felt like a coquettish courtesan putting himself on display, waiting to be sold to the highest bidder.

When the auspicious hour arrived, he was "escorted" into the car.

The Game Behind the Scenes~

Because the groom was rather unusual, the wedding was both low-key and the center of attention.

Jing Yi had no internet access. If he did, the online arguments would surely have driven him mad.

There were currently two main schools of thought online—

The first was the optimists. They believed they had probably misjudged Jing Yi before. Though he had the face of a seductive concubine, his love for Major Qin was apparently true! Even after his death, Jing Yi remained unwavering, willing to spend the rest of his life alone just to continue Major Qin's bloodline. They never should have slandered him so viciously before.

The second was the conspiracy theorists. They were further divided into two camps: one believed the Jing Family was currying favor with the powerful and would stop at nothing to tie itself to the Qin Family; the other believed that Jing Yi was a dead pervert who would not even leave Major Qin alone after his death, and had simply married into the Qin Family to stir up trouble...

The argument was absolutely heated! Some die-hard fans had even traveled from far away to the scene, hoping for a chance to observe the legendary Jing Yi up close. As the saying went, seeing was believing. Any hidden truth would only become clear after seeing it for themselves.

Inside a military hovercar speeding along.

General Chen, three golden sunflowers pinned to his epaulets, frowned deeply and asked the guard beside him, "Still can't reach him?"

The guard sighed and shook his head. "No. Qin Meng should still be in a signal-jamming zone. Besides, what would it change even if we got through? If he has already succeeded, then fine. If he hasn't, there's no reason to give up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity over something like this."

"That bastard Qin Zhengyu! I really want to shoot him dead!" How could the graying general not understand that? Yet he could only watch helplessly as this farce unfolded, too far away on Gold Star to do anything about it... Overcome with rage, he slapped the back of the seat in front of him. The alloy seatback could not withstand the force, and a sizable dent appeared in it. "With a father like Qin Zhengyu, Qin Meng will be dragged down by him sooner or later!"

The guard's expression did not change in the slightest. Only after General Chen had calmed down did he ask, "What do you plan to do now?"

"What else can I do?" General Chen was still fuming. "Qin Zhengyu is Qin Meng's father, after all! That little bastard has his heart set on finding Qin Meng a wife. Whenever I object, he blocks me with, 'Family matters are none of an outsider's business.' I have no idea where he gets the nerve... And look at the thing he picked! Qin Meng has been shoved into a pile of cow dung by his own father!"

At that analogy... the guard struggled desperately not to laugh aloud.

General Chen continued viciously, "What I'm mainly worried about is that pile of cow dung negatively affecting Qin Meng—damn it, how can there be a father like this in the world? I'm furious—there's no time to stop the wedding now. We can only fish that pile of cow dung out first and place him under military supervision... Otherwise, once those two get mixed together, Qin Meng can forget about having a future. He'll spend all his time cleaning up their mess!"

At last, he sighed. "My old brother was good at everything except picking a son-in-law! Just look at Qin Zhengyu, and you'll know how important it is to choose dependable in-laws. Qin Meng has suffered enough already. I can't let him stumble over this."

The guard nodded. This was also the main reason General Chen had rushed back from Gold Star to Mi Star overnight to attend the wedding in person.

They would soon arrive at the Qin Family residence.

Outside the Qin Family home, cars flowed in an endless stream. Taking advantage of this happy occasion, countless people who wanted to establish ties with the Qin Family had eagerly come to attend. The only awkward part was that none of the guests knew what expression they should wear—should they look delighted? The family had just lost a son; would smiling cheerfully not be asking for a beating? Should they wear mournful faces? The family was taking a wife; were they sure they had not come to cause trouble?

Neither crying nor smiling seemed appropriate, so twisted expressions filled the venue. As soon as General Chen stepped out of the car, he gave a disdainful snort.

These bureaucrats loved putting on such empty displays. They were truly beneath contempt.

Qin Zhengyu and his two sons stood together at the entrance to receive guests. Qin Zhengyu handled the most important visitors, the two young masters handled ordinary guests, and the rest were left to the household staff.

Qin Zhengyu wore gold-rimmed glasses. Fair-skinned and clean-shaven, he looked exceptionally refined, instantly inspiring goodwill in those who saw him. Qin Zhengyu's second son was named Qin Wenbo, and his third son was named Qin Wenfei. Both were fine-looking men, especially Qin Wenfei. Dressed in a moon-white traditional ceremonial robe, his eyes flirted in every direction, making quite a few young male and female guests' hearts flutter. He clearly enjoyed being the center of attention, the very image of a playboy.

When ordinary families held weddings, they would naturally choose a hotel, which was both impressive and convenient. But for a family like the Qin Family, insisting on hosting it at home was a sign of importance. Thus, the Jing relatives felt immensely honored, grinning from ear to ear.

General Chen strode toward them with the bearing of a dragon and tiger. Qin Zhengyu paused when he saw him. At that instant, a ray of sunlight reflected off his lenses, making it impossible to tell what lay in his eyes. He stepped forward with a smile. "You actually came in person. If my son knows in the afterlife, he will surely be overjoyed."
