"But what?"
As expected, Ling Haoran took the bait, frowning as he looked at Zou Jingtian and asked.
"It's just that Bai Zhiqing already has a boyfriend. She brought someone over from Binhai this time..."
Zou Jingtian deliberately appeared a bit awkward, but he was carefully watching Ling Haoran's expression.
As expected, upon hearing this, Ling Haoran burst out laughing!
"I wondered what was going on, just having a boyfriend, right? What does it matter to me? Over the years, I've been with at least eighty or a hundred married women. Do you think I'd care about someone having a boyfriend? You just need to introduce her to me. If she indeed catches my fancy, you'll have done a great deed!"
"Indeed, with Young Master Ling's charm, it would only take minutes to win her over! It's just..." Zou Jingtian still appeared hesitant.
"What now?" Ling Haoran looked displeased.
"Her boyfriend is not an ordinary person! I saw last night, he seems to have a close relationship with Jia Youcai..."
"What is Jia Youcai to me?" Ling Haoran was even more disdainful upon hearing that: "That fool offended my uncle and is already on his last legs! Someone who merely knows Jia Youcai is nothing to me, Ling Haoran! I could drown him with my spit!"
Upon hearing this, Zou Jingtian was overjoyed. This was the reassurance he needed, and he immediately responded gleefully: "Since that's the case, I have nothing more to say. Young Master Ling, please be patient. This afternoon at the wedding rehearsal, I will certainly introduce her to you. Please accept her!"
...
The day before the wedding, the couple went to the hotel for a walk-through to warm up for the wedding, which is also a local custom in Binhai.
In the afternoon, Bai Family's relatives had lunch at Bai Wenmo's house and stayed on to help decorate the rooms, while Bai Zhiqing and Bai Yanting changed into their bridesmaid and bridal dresses to go to the hotel for the rehearsal.
"Zhiqing, it's just a rehearsal today, so let's not have Jiang Feng accompany us. Second uncle's family is short-handed; let him stay and help out. We sisters can go by ourselves." Bai Yanting said to Bai Zhiqing intentionally.
Prior to this, she had received a message from Zou Jingtian, knowing everything on that end was arranged. To avoid unnecessary trouble, she naturally didn't want Jiang Feng to tag along.
"Jiang Feng didn't come back with me to do chores. I said he'd accompany me throughout, so he must come with me!" Bai Zhiqing said, frowning.
"Zhiqing, you know all those going there this afternoon are Jingtian's friends. He doesn't know anyone and would feel awkward going as an outsider..." Bai Yanting forcibly found an excuse.
"Does he need to know anyone else? He's my boyfriend, knowing me is enough!" Bai Zhiqing was already somewhat unwilling, and when she heard Bai Yanting didn't want Jiang Feng to come along, her face naturally didn't look good.
Bai Yanting saw Bai Zhiqing wasn't buying it, and anger rose in her heart, but on the surface, she forced a smile: "Fine, let him come along, but he can't sit in our car and has to drive himself behind us."
"Very well." Seeing Bai Yanting compromise, Bai Zhiqing's expression slightly softened, agreeing without much thought.
...
As for Bai Yanting not allowing him to ride in the wedding car, Jiang Feng didn't insist.
It's a matter of custom, after all; the wedding car is for the bride and bridesmaids, and his presence wasn't suitable.
Therefore, he drove Bai Zhiqing's Audi, following at a leisurely pace.
However, it was unclear whether the wedding car ahead did so intentionally or unintentionally, but it kept turning into side roads, appearing to want to lose him.
And there were also two unidentified black sedans that suddenly emerged, inconveniently blocking him, forcing Jiang Feng to slow down, even on non-intersections.
With these hindrances before and behind, Jiang Feng soon fell further behind from the wedding car, gradually losing sight of its tail.
"Cousin, ask the driver to slow down; Xiao Feng's fallen behind!" Bai Zhiqing turned back anxiously to Bai Yanting, seeing Jiang Feng drifting further away.
"We're pressed for time; Jingtian and his friends are already there. Anyway, that guy named Jiang knows the address, let him find his own way." Bai Yanting seemed unfazed.
In fact, this was exactly what she and Zou Jingtian had planned.
Since they couldn't avoid Jiang Feng following, they decided to delay him instead!
Zou Jingtian had sent two cars in advance to block Jiang Feng's pursuit of the wedding car, solely to hinder him.
Thus, even if Jiang Feng found the hotel later, it would be too late, as Ling Haoran would have already acted against Bai Zhiqing!
Bai Zhiqing was unaware of the conspiracy awaiting her ahead. She instinctively took out her phone to call Jiang Feng, but Bai Yanting quickly snatched it away!
"Zhiqing, are you that attached to Jiang Feng? Just a short separation, and look how anxious you are. He's a grown man; he won't get lost! You should first memorize the process I told you, so you don't make a mistake later." Bai Yanting pretended to be displeased.
Bai Zhiqing was angry and helpless, only able to look back anxiously, but Jiang Feng was already gone at the end of the road.
...
To Jiang Feng, although he knew the two black cars ahead intentionally blocked him, he didn't retaliate recklessly but gradually braked and parked on the roadside.
The drivers of those two cars saw Jiang Feng stop and, fearing he might trick them, also slowed to a halt.
At this moment, Jiang Feng got out and directly approached them.
The driver inside was somewhat nervous, but remembering this was on Young Master Zou's orders, he gained some confidence.
Jiang Feng approached, knocked on one car's window.
"What do you want?" The driver rolled down the window a crack, staring at Jiang Feng and asked.
"Who sent you?" Jiang Feng asked directly, without any unnecessary words.
"What do you mean?" The driver feigned ignorance.
"From the start, you've been blocking me all the way here. Someone ordered you, didn't they?" Jiang Feng said calmly, "Tell me who the mastermind is, and I won't make things hard for you."
"Ridiculous!" The driver sneered, "Who do you think you are? The road is open to all; why say we're blocking you? What gives you the right..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Feng punched the window, shattering it, and seized the driver's neck, pulling him out: "I don't repeat myself. Speak truthfully, and I won't make you suffer more!"
The driver was terrified on the spot!
Simultaneously, the driver in the leading car was also stunned!
They never expected this guy to act so violently and literally pull someone out like picking a chick!
That was tempered glass, shattered with a single punch - what kind of monster is this?!
"It was... it was Young Master Zou who sent us!" The driver was filled with fear and had to confess honestly.
"Zou Jingtian? Why did he do this?" Jiang Feng asked expressionlessly.
"We... we don't know! We're just helping his family, and he didn't tell us why, just had us ambush the wedding car's route, then block you trailing it... Beyond that, we know nothing!" The driver smiled wryly.
Jiang Feng looked into the driver's frightened eyes and knew he wasn't lying. He pushed him back into the car with one hand.
With a miserable scream, the driver probably broke a few ribs.
So, it was Zou Jingtian?
Jiang Feng squinted, forgetting past grudges?
Although he didn't yet know why Zou Jingtian did this, if he hadn't learned his lesson, Jiang Feng wouldn't mind teaching him one again!
