Illicit Affair

The moment those words were spoken, everyone wore a different expression.

The bride's mother was the first to step forward. "What are you talking about, child?"

The bridesmaid frowned as well. "What do you mean?"

The groom's younger sister sneered. "Heh, what else could it mean? Why did my brother argue with my sister-in-law yesterday? Wasn't it because she found another man outside?"

The groom frowned. "Enough."

His younger sister stamped her foot, furious at his refusal to see reason. "Brother, my sister-in-law already has someone else. How can I not keep an eye on her next door for you?"

Still unwilling to back down, she said, "Brother, you're still defending her? I don't care. I'm staying in this room!"

"You're about to get married. If I don't watch her, who knows what else my sister-in-law might do?"

Hearing this, the bride's mother was so furious she nearly lost her footing. The best man hurriedly supported her.

The bride's father, meanwhile, shot the bride a vicious glare.

The bride finally could not hold back any longer and retorted, "I never did anything to betray your brother!"

"I saw another man messaging you yesterday. What else is there to say?" The groom's younger sister refused to let it go. "Ask my brother. He saw it too."

Everyone looked at the groom.

The groom remained silent and said nothing.

The bride was annoyed. "Are you even a man? Why are you hesitating at a time like this? I told you I never cheated. If you doubt me, go ask the person who sent those messages yourself!"

At that, the groom's gaze lingered on the best man for a moment before finally shifting away.

The situation was too chaotic. No one knew whether anyone else had noticed that look, but Yin Ge had.

Combined with what the bride had said, a bold guess formed in Yin Ge's mind.

Could the person messaging the bride have been the best man?

But if that were true, the best man was acting far too relaxed.

And if the groom knew about it, why would he not demand an explanation from the best man?

"Sister-in-law, how can you still have the nerve to blame my brother?" the groom's younger sister said again, interrupting Yin Ge's thoughts.

The groom remained silent.

Unable to hold back, the bride began arguing with the younger sister again. "I never betrayed your brother. Your brother is the one who betrayed me. Do you really want me to spell it out?"

Her words struck like thunder out of a clear sky, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

The groom's expression changed from hesitation to confusion and anger. "What did you say? When did I ever betray you?"

"Exactly! How could my brother possibly betray you?" his younger sister demanded.

The bridesmaid's mouth fell slightly open, clearly shocked.

Slap!

The bride suddenly stepped forward and slapped the bridesmaid.

The bridesmaid clutched one side of her face, temporarily unsure how to react. The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Everyone scrambled to restrain the bride.

"Stop playing dumb!" the bride snapped furiously. "Why are you holding me back? She's the one seducing my husband!"

The bridesmaid and the groom really were involved!

Yin Ge's heart sank to the bottom.

The moment the bride said that, suspicion toward her rose sharply.

Killing the bride to take the groom for herself seemed like a sufficient motive.

If the others followed that line of reasoning, they would definitely identify her as the Killer!

What should I do? What should I do?

Before Yin Ge could think of a solution, the bridesmaid retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? How did I seduce him?"

The groom also looked utterly baffled. "Are you crazy?"

"I'm crazy?" The bride sounded as if she had heard a joke, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "You wish I really were crazy so you could be with that bitch, don't you?"

The bridesmaid was both wronged and angry. "I'm your best friend. How could I betray you? I don't understand what you're talking about at all!"

The bride shook off the people holding her and pulled out her phone, holding it up toward the bridesmaid. "Then tell me, what is this?"

Thanks to her earlier observations, Yin Ge recognized at a glance that the phone in the bride's hand belonged to the groom!

And looking at the chat history on it...

The bridesmaid really had been confessing her love to the groom, every message familiar and intimate.

The messages had been sent this morning.

But this time... Yin Ge's mind raced.

"Th-this is impossible. I never sent these messages!" The bridesmaid's face was full of disbelief.

The groom patted his pocket. The first thing he said was an accusation. "How did my phone end up with you?"

Once the bride's mother saw the contents on the phone clearly, she burst into tears and began hitting the groom. "How could you do this to my daughter? Do you have no conscience!?"

Seeing her brother being hit, the groom's younger sister immediately lunged forward and started hitting people too.

The best man stepped in to break them up, while the bride's father stood off to the side with a livid expression.

The child had never seen anything like this and began bawling loudly.

The scene was exceptionally chaotic, but Yin Ge's thoughts were crystal clear.

She had just replayed everything in her mind. The bridesmaid had never sent the groom those messages.

In other words, someone had framed the bridesmaid!

At the same time, the bridesmaid took out her own phone and showed it to everyone. "There aren't any records of me sending messages here at all! Stop fighting and see for yourselves!"

But the bride refused to believe her. "You can send messages, so of course you can delete the chat records too! Tell me, how can you be so shameless, stealing my man?"

"I didn't! I really didn't!" The bridesmaid did not know how to explain herself and could only keep holding up her phone.

Just as the situation was becoming impossible to control, the lights abruptly went out, and even the sunlight vanished in an instant.

But the lights quickly came back on.

It was six in the afternoon.

Yin Ge's chest rose and fell continuously, the lingering aftermath of the bridesmaid's agitation.

The people who had just been brawling all stopped and stared at Yin Ge in unison, their eyes full of wariness.

Yin Ge immediately looked at the phone, but its screen had already gone black.

She raised her eyes and looked at the others, discovering that the bride's father, mother, and the groom's younger sister were all glaring at her like tigers watching their prey.

The best man frowned deeply, seemingly lost in thought.

The child wiped away tears, walked over to Yin Ge, and softly called, "Big sister."

"Why are you still calling her that? She's having an affair with the groom. She must have killed the bride because she couldn't have him! She's the Killer!" The bride's mother was the first to speak.

The child shook their head and grabbed the corner of Yin Ge's clothes. "Big sister isn't the Killer."

Yin Ge glanced at the child, then nodded. "That's right. I'm not the Killer."

"If it isn't you, then who is it?" The groom's younger sister pressed her lips together. "You were all fighting."

Yin Ge smiled at her. "You actually dare to speak now? Weren't you just blending in with the crowd and acting invisible? Why are you suddenly so worked up?"

"Let me guess. Aside from me, you're the only one who had a conflict with the bride. Are you afraid everyone will turn on you?"

As if her thoughts had been exposed, the younger sister's eyes darted away, and her voice suddenly grew louder. "Y-you're just making excuses! You're the Killer!"

"That's right!" the bride's mother agreed. "What does a dispute over a room amount to compared to stealing a man? She wouldn't kill someone over a room, would she?"

The instant she finished speaking, Yin Ge replied quickly, "Why not? She always believed the bride had wronged the groom, so she killed the bride to vent the groom's anger. Isn't that a motive?"

"Th-this..." The bride's mother was left speechless.

Yin Ge spoke again. "The bridesmaid never sent the groom any messages. Someone framed her."

"The clues related to this incident point to me and the groom's younger sister. There's nothing to argue about there, right?" She looked at the best man.

The best man nodded. "The evidence is right in front of us. There is nothing to argue about. Only the two of you are suspicious."

His answer was exactly what Yin Ge had expected.

Yin Ge spoke confidently. "Then let's talk about the Godhead."

"Before you accuse me, you need to accuse him first."

She swiftly raised a hand and pointed at someone.
