When Qin Xian said he was going to look for Luo Fei, Ji Fei didn't even need to find an excuse and excitedly followed along.
[Perfect timing! Though it's probably better not to watch what happens next, might give me sore eyes.]
Qin Xian frowned in disgust. He had interacted with Fan Shi a few times before, but it just proved you can never truly know someone.
The Qin family members overheard the plan to catch the cheaters and excitedly began observing in secret. Since they didn't know the exact location, they could only wait to follow once the two found Luo Fei.
By now, the wedding ceremony had entered its warm-up phase, with a hired emcee holding a microphone to engage the crowd.
Although it wasn't time for the newlyweds to appear yet, Luo's Father and Luo's Mother were supposed to be present occasionally to interact with the emcee.
Luo's Father was in the center of the crowd, but Luo's Mother was nowhere to be seen.
Ji Fei and Qin Xian went to the lounge to look for Luo Fei but didn't find him.
[Where is he? Oh, he's in the back garden cooling off. He's starting to have doubts, isn't he? He's finally noticing something's wrong with her? But even so, he hasn't cancelled the wedding. Is he afraid of wrongly accusing Fan Shi? Women who play the victim really put a debuff on men's rationality!]
Qin Xian didn't think too much about it and instead of going to the garden, he directly took out his phone to make a call.
The phone rang somewhere nearby.
They both turned to look and saw Luo's Mother in a daze, holding a phone and walking towards the hall through a nearby corridor.
[Huh? Why does Luo's Mother have Luo Fei's phone? Oh, Wu Xingqing found it and gave it to her. Wait, didn't Luo's Mother just come from the direction of that bathroom where those two were having their affair?]
The distant Qin family members wondered: Which bathroom? There are bathrooms in all directions - north, south, east, and west. Which one?
[Oh my, Luo's Mother saw the surveillance video on the phone, went to find Fan Shi, and when she couldn't find her, she checked the surveillance footage and discovered Fan Shi and Tang Yu going into the same bathroom one after another. This... this is so explosive! Haha, those two have nowhere to run now, well, except straight to their doom. Do we still need to find Luo Fei? I'd rather watch the drama unfold with Luo's Mother.]
Qin Xian: We must find Luo Fei, and quickly. He remembered that Luo Fei's mother had poor health and couldn't handle shock well.
Qin Xian suddenly said to Ji Fei: "Auntie is probably looking for Luo Fei to return his phone. Fei Fei, go tell auntie that I'll find Luo Fei and bring him back here, ask her to wait for him here."
If anything happened to Luo's Mother, Ji Fei would be there to notice immediately.
This request suited Ji Fei perfectly, and she nodded right away.
So they split up, and without Ji Fei by his side, Qin Xian went straight to the back garden and found Luo Fei without hesitation.
Luo Fei looked troubled when he saw Qin Xian. "Is there more news?"
He was truly afraid things were as Qin Xian had said; he felt he couldn't handle it.
Qin Xian ignored Luo Fei's troubled expression and said directly: "Auntie seems to have your phone and is anxiously looking for you."
Luo Fei was startled, suddenly realizing his phone was missing. He became panicked, worried that his mother had discovered something, and quickly headed back with Qin Xian.
At this time, Qin Xian could hear Ji Fei's continuous stream of thoughts.
[Oh? Is Luo's Mother eavesdropping at the door?]
[Her face has turned pale. Seems like she heard something unspeakable. Is she so angry she can barely stand?]
Qin Xian frowned, worried about Luo's Mother's condition.
[Good thing she's holding up. Huh? She's not kicking down the door? Not going in to catch them in the act? Could it be... she doesn't want to cause a scandal at today's wedding, so she's swallowing her anger? Damn, she's walking away? Really going to endure it? Then... should we still bring Luo Fei to catch them?]
Hearing this, Qin Xian paused. Perhaps Luo's Mother wanted to maintain the family's reputation at the wedding, but Luo Fei still needed to know the truth. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he might be deceived forever.
Just then, Luo Fei suddenly stopped. "Mom?"
Qin Xian and Luo Fei had entered the hall, planning to take the quickest path to meet up with Ji Fei, when they saw Luo's Mother suddenly appear in the hall, making a round near the wedding staff.
Luo Fei was about to rush over to find his mother, but after pushing through the crowd, he found she had gone again.
Meanwhile, Qin Xian heard Ji Fei's thoughts.
[What is she doing? Why did she come back? She didn't even bring her son to catch them. Wait! Is that a microphone in her hand? Holy... she's using a key to secretly open the bathroom door. Oh god, she secretly left the microphone there. Ah ah ah, could it be...]
Just as Luo Fei was about to chase after his mother, Qin Xian grabbed him.
"What's wrong?" Luo Fei looked anxious. He was truly worried his mother would be shocked by those things, and knowing his mother's personality, she would likely try to stop the wedding regardless of whether Fan Shi was a victim or not.
Although he now had some... some uncertainties, he couldn't abandon her in such a situation just because of a slight doubt in his heart.
Just then, the big screen set up for the wedding suddenly changed. The original wedding photos were replaced by eight surveillance videos.
The footage showed different dates in the hotel corridors, with Fan Shi and Tang Yu struggling and heading towards rooms together.
The previously lively hall gradually grew quiet as people began to notice something unusual.
Luo's Father, who had been facing away from the big screen and interacting with the emcee with a microphone, noticed the strange atmosphere and turned around confused. When he saw the footage clearly, the microphone fell from his hand with a piercing sound.
Soon, people spotted Luo Fei, and countless eyes turned to him in shock, sympathy, and disbelief.
"Isn't that his wife?"
"Isn't that the guy he just hit?"
"Are they going to hotel rooms together?"
"How is this possible? In high school, Tang Yu was always bullying Fan Shi."
"Maybe Fan Shi is being coerced? She doesn't look very willing."
"Even if she's unwilling, it doesn't change the fact that she's cheating on Luo Fei."
"Wait, didn't they say it was a shotgun wedding? Then whose child is..."
"Better not say it, better not say it. This is too awkward."
"Who did this? Was it Tang Yu? Is he trying to humiliate Luo Fei?"
"No, didn't Tang Yu come to the wedding with his girlfriend?"
At this mention, people finally noticed the other protagonist. She had been looking for Tang Yu, and unable to find him, was about to ask the butler for help when she entered the hall and saw the shocking surveillance footage.
She had just learned that her boyfriend used to be a bully, and now seeing these videos, she really didn't know what to think.
Wu Xingqing slowly walked to the equally shocked Luo Fei's side. "This... what? Is this... is this Tang Yu forcing Fan Shi?"
Wu Xingqing still preferred to believe the girl was innocent.
