Chapter 44: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (44)
After experiencing being alone in his room for a while, Rong Jing finally became a little more restrained.
After all, he would rather have the warmth of his wife in his arms than lie alone and cold in bed.
So be moderate. You won't die from not having sex, but you'll die if you lose your wife.
Two days later, their wedding day arrived.
This was an extremely grand wedding, with all the prominent and wealthy people in Haicheng gathering at the Lanruo Hotel.
All for the sake of attending the Rong family patriarch's wedding.
They whispered amongst themselves, all expressing their curiosity about this newlywed Mrs. Rong who had risen to prominence.
What kind of woman can overcome the conflicts brought about by class differences and successfully marry into a top-tier family from an ordinary person?
You must understand that the ruthless and excessively young head of the Rong family is not someone that an ordinary person can defeat.
Everyone was waiting for the auspicious time to arrive, eager to see the bride's true face.
But they don't have that opportunity to see it yet.
The pure white skirt was cut with countless irregular pleats, which were layered on the ground, like a blooming flower.
A layer of light gauze hung at her waist, adding a touch of ethereal, hazy beauty.
The bride wore a strapless dress that hugged her body, highlighting her perfect curves. Paired with her long, black hair styled in an updo, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
It's a pity it's not Leyan.
His veins bulged as he gripped the woman's neck tightly, not letting go even as her eyes rolled back in her head.
"You deserve it too!"
He abruptly threw the woman aside, and looking at her lying on the ground like a corpse, Rong Jing's eyes flashed with disgust and ruthlessness.
He rubbed his hands vigorously, as if he had just touched something dirty.
"Sir, we haven't found Madam, and Gu Yunting and his men haven't made any move either. They're still waiting for an opportunity."
Because the real bride had vanished into thin air, an overwhelming murderous intent permeated the small dressing room.
When Liu Feng came in to report, his eyes swept over the woman who was lying unconscious to the side, and his expression was tinged with mockery.
He doesn't even know who he is. He only has a slight resemblance to the lady in terms of eyebrows and eyes, yet he dares to wear the lady's wedding dress and impersonate her.
Simply looking for death!
After listening to Liu Feng's report, Rong Jing remained silent for a moment, then slightly raised his eyes and said, "Go and invite them over."
He wanted to know which individuals were responsible, or if someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
After a pause, Rong Jing added, "Take good care of the old lady. If anything happens to her, don't come back to see me."
"Yes, sir!"
Liu Feng immediately became serious. He would definitely take good care of the lady's mother and would never allow anyone to get past him and harm the old lady.
He was about to leave when he caught a glimpse of the woman out of the corner of his eye and asked again, "Sir, should we take this woman...?"
Should they be dragged away and tortured, or killed outright?
Rong Jing glanced at it and said, "Leave it there; someone will have to check on it."
We need to let Gu Yunting and the others see for ourselves to know whether they were the ones who did it or not.
Soon, Gu Yunting, Shen Mubai, and You Wenwen rushed in.
They each have their own plans, but it's not time to implement them yet.
They knew that Rong Jing would never easily let them into the bride's dressing room, but now he had allowed it.
That means something definitely happened to Leyan!
Rushing into the house, the three immediately saw a woman in a wedding dress lying on the ground.
Startled for a moment, You Wenwen took the lead, squatted down, pinched the woman's chin, and examined her carefully for a while before her eyes darkened.
"Who is this?"
She looked at Rong Jing, who was sitting on the sofa as if nothing had happened, and her words were full of accusations.
Rong Jing glanced at them and sneered, "Shouldn't you be the ones asking me that?"
He slowly stood up, coldly glancing at the group. "Find someone who looks like Le Yan to replace her so you can take her away. Wasn't this your plan?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunting instantly flew into a rage. He glared coldly at Rong Jing and roared, "Stop insulting me!"
Even if he wanted to steal someone, he would do it openly and honestly.
This act of finding someone who looks similar to Le Yan to replace her is not only an insult to himself, but also an extreme insult to Le Yan!
Gu Yunting was furious, and Rong Jing saw his reaction and already knew the answer.
It seems that Gu Yunting did not do it.
That You Wenwen wasn't one either, so...
Rong Jing's gaze fell on Shen Mubai, whose brows and eyes were heavy. He curled his lips and said, "Gu Yunting, just because you can't does it doesn't mean others can't."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunting and You Wenwen immediately turned to look at Shen Mubai, their eyes blazing with anger.
Shen Mubai, who was still wondering who was behind this mess, looked up and met three pairs of angry eyes.
He immediately took a step back, his brow furrowed. "What do you mean? I would never do that!"
Even if he were to seduce Le Yan into having an affair, or try to sneak into her bed, he would never do something so humiliating.
Seeing Shen Mubai's straightforward reaction, Gu Yunting, who knew him best, immediately said, "He's not lying, it wasn't him."
So either it was done by just a few of them, or there's someone else pulling the strings behind the scenes.
You Wenwen looked at Rong Jing and asked in a deep voice, "Who have you offended?"
Since it wasn't done by those three who wanted to steal the bride, it could only have been an enemy that Rong Jing had provoked.
"Me? There are too many of those."
Rong Jing sighed. The people he had offended were spread all over Haicheng.
However, he was certain that it wasn't his enemy who did it.
“If they were my enemies, they would only tie up Leyan and leave, not—” He looked at the woman on the ground with disdain in his eyes, “find someone to replace Leyan.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunting and the other two felt a sudden sinking feeling in their hearts.
They believed that Rong Jing, with his abilities, wouldn't say anything empty.
That means they're still after Le Yan!
The thought of having a rival behind them, someone they didn't even know about, made them grit their teeth in hatred.
"Rong Jing, I need all the surveillance footage from the Lanruo Hotel."
Shen Mubai immediately spoke up; he couldn't just sit there idly, or he wouldn't know where Leyan would be taken.
Rong Jing stepped aside, pointed to the computers that had been set up behind him, and said, "They're all here."
He invited Shen Mubai and the others over because he valued Shen Mubai's hacking skills.
Seeing that Shen Mubai had already picked up the computer, Rong Jingbian continued, "The Lanruo Hotel has been completely sealed off. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, they are still in the hotel."
I just don't know where they're hiding.
Thinking of this, Rong Jing frowned. Fortunately, he insisted on holding the wedding at the Lanruo Hotel, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to control everyone within minutes of the incident.
Gu Yunting glanced at Shen Mubai, who was focused on studying the surveillance footage, and said in a deep voice, "Give me access, I'll take people to search."
“I’ll go too,” You Wenwen quickly added.
Rong Jing didn't say anything, he just nodded, and the two of them ran out.
Time ticked by, and Shen Mubai finally found a flaw in the surveillance footage.
He quickly called to Rong Jing, "Go to the eighteenth floor, the surveillance cameras there have been replaced."
At the same time, he had a guess about who was behind this attack, but he couldn't quite believe it.
"What do you mean?" Rong Jing asked, puzzled, as he hurried toward the eighteenth floor.
Shen Mubai then said, "This method is very similar to Jiang Yanzhe's last time when he tied up Le Yan, except that the siblings were already thrown into the sea to feed the fish by You Wenwen, how could they possibly..."
How could he still be alive?
Rong Jing scoffed, "That means he was rescued by someone. That's not surprising."
Even if they were thrown into the sea to feed the fish, would the You family's bodyguards just watch them get eaten up by the fish before leaving?
It's just that they were tied up, thrown into the sea, and left. Is it really that hard to guess that they were lucky enough to be rescued?
Shen Mubai was silent for a moment, then said, "Indeed, I just didn't expect them to be so lucky."
Since they're lucky enough to survive but don't cherish their lives, then this time, he'll send them to their deaths.
