Tang Hao was at ease when he heard that.
After the sun rose, Tang Hao talked to the commander. He prepared to take the military jet back to Province Z.
He received a phone call just when he was about to board the plane. It was from an unknown number.
Tang Hao hesitated for a while but picked up the call anyway.
“Oh, thank god you picked up the call!” A familiar voice was heard over the phone.
“You are…?” Tang Hao was surprised. He could not recall who the voice belonged to.
“Where the hell have you been, Tang Hao? Don’t you know that I’ve been trying to contact you for the entire day yesterday? If you don’t pick up the call, Young Miss Ling will be marrying that Song guy soon.”
Tang Hao trembled, and his expression changed drastically.
Chapter 454 - I Am Here
In a room somewhere in the Capital.
Ling Wei sat in front of the mirror. She was dressed in a pure white wedding gown and adorned splendidly with jewelry and gold. Several cosmeticians were putting on makeup for her.
She was already very beautiful. The makeup enhanced her beauty.
Even the cosmeticians could not stop praising her. “You’re so beautiful, bride-to-be!”
Ling Wei sat there with a blank expression.
She looked at herself in the wedding gown in the mirror. She was not too sure whether that person she saw in the mirror was her.
‘Am I… about to get married soon? To that Song Linfei whom I hate?
‘How did things become this way?’
Her eyes were open though her gaze was hollow.
At that moment, the only image that flashed in her mind was of that person. She recalled the joy she felt when they spent time together.
She felt bitterness and regret in her heart.
She hoped so much that he would be the person to hold her hand when she wore the wedding dress, and he would be the one that she would spend the rest of her life together!
However, she knew very well that it was only an extravagant hope.
Even so, she did not want to be married to Song Linfei. She only hoped that the person would appear and take her away.
She did not want to be used as a pawn for her family to gain social status, and she did not want to waste her life into a relationship that she had no interest in.
Time passed. It was soon the time for the ceremony, but that person had not appeared.
Did he forget the promise he made?
She lowered her head and looked at the pinky finger of her left hand.
“Liars! Men are all liars!” She bit her lip and tears welled up in her eyes.
Crystal-clear teardrops fell like a string of pearls onto her pure-white wedding dress.
Her shoulders trembled, and she started sobbing.
Tears gushed out of her eyes like a broken dam.
The cosmeticians were shocked. They froze on the spot.
A woman in her fifties heard Ling Wei crying and came in through the door. She sighed as she looked at Ling Wei. She turned to speak to the cosmeticians, “You can take a break for now. I’ll call you in soon.”
“Yes,” They replied and went out the door.
The woman closed the door and sat down next to Ling Wei. She lifted her hand, hesitated for a while, and placed it on Ling Wei’s shoulder.
Ling Wei’s shoulders trembled, and she pushed the hand away.
The woman was shocked. She sighed again, feeling guilty.
“Why must you torment yourself like this, my daughter? Why can’t you forget about him? You have to understand that it’s too late to call off this marriage. The family has made the decision, and the groom is from the Song family. Once the decision is made, it’s already out of our hands.
“You might not like to hear what I say, but it’s the truth! You need to learn to accept your fate, so that… you won’t suffer as much.
“What’s not good about Linfei, my daughter? Look at him. He has a good upbringing, he is handsome, and he has a pleasant demeanor. He’s a good match for you. You will be happy if he is your husband.”
Ling Wei stopped sobbing, though her face remained sorrowful.
“I’ll be happy?”
She mumbled and laughed coldly. “That’s not possible. I don’t love him at all. Will I be happy in a marriage without love?”
Her mother fell silent.
After that, she sighed.
“You’ll have to marry him no matter what. You might as well force yourself to be happy!”
She stood up and left.
The cosmeticians returned to the room soon. They dried her tears and fixed the makeup, and she resumed her previous glamour.
Ling Wei’s gaze was blank as she sat there.
She felt as though she was a puppet, not being able to control her actions.
She was not sure how she walked out of the room and went outside. Everything felt like a blur.
The wedding hall was decorated extravagantly, like a scene in a dream.
The hall was filled with relatives and good friends of both families. Of course, it was the Capital, and there were more relatives from the Song family.
They cheered happily as the bride appeared.
Those cheers were so harsh and piercing to her ear.
She was led forward and she finally saw her ‘husband-to-be’.
He was handsome and stylish in his black suit.
He walked forward and reached out for her hand with a smile.
She wanted to struggle away, but the man grasped her hand firmly.
The cheers grew louder.
He held her hand as they walked forward.
He maintained a smile as they walked. Suddenly, he leaned close to her and whispered in her ear. “Are you still thinking of him? Hmph, you shameless whore!
“I want to throw up whenever I’m reminded that he touched you before, but I will still marry you. From now on, you are my wife!”
His tone of voice sounded nastier as he spoke, though he maintained a smile on his face.
Ling Wei’s gaze was blank.
One step, two steps… they neared the stage.
She abruptly turned around to look toward the entrance. She saw many people, but not the person she was hoping to see.
“Give up! He won’t come here! It would be a supernatural occurrence if he did!” Song Linfei scoffed.
He pulled her forcefully, and they walked onto the stage.
Her hope slowly turned into despair as she continued to look at the entrance of the wedding hall.
‘Perhaps this is my fate!’
She closed her eyes painfully.
“A bow to the heavens!”
“A bow to the elders!”
The master of ceremonies shouted.
“A bow to the newlyweds!”
She turned around robotically and prepared to do the third bow, which marked the conclusion of the wedding ceremony.
The mood in the hall was brought to a climax.
The people from the Song and Ling families smiled contentedly when they saw that.
“We’ll be one family from now on! Let’s keep close contact!” Ling Mingshan laughed heartily.
Aft4er the wedding, the Ling family would be considered as part of the Song family, and Ling Mingshan’s social standing would improve by leaps and bounds.
Ling Rui, sitting behind his father, also smiled.
He would be the one who would benefit the most from the marriage!
The people from the Song family also laughed. “That Ling Wei girl is not bad! She’s beautiful, well-educated, and has a gentle temperament! Their children will also be very smart.”
The two families laughed heartily.
Suddenly, they heard a frantic scream at the entrance.
The scream pierced through the joyful atmosphere in the hall.
“What’s going on?”
Everyone near the entrance stood up and looked outside.
They
were shocked when they saw what happened.
A Hummer drove through the corridor, sending people jumping and dodging. It knocked down the bouquets and tables. Plates and wine glasses were sent flying. It was an unbelievably chaotic scene.
“Who dares disrupt a Song family wedding?”
“Security? Bodyguards? Where are they?”
Everyone was screaming frantically.
The Hummer drove into the hall and stopped near the stage. The car door opened, and a figure jumped out. That was none other than Tang Hao.
“I am here!”
Tang Hao grinned and ran up the stage.
Chapter 455 - : Raising a Big Ruckus
The scene of the wedding was unbelievably chaotic.
All the guests looked at the person who had just barged into the hall with a Hummer.
“Who’s that kid?”
“How dare he disrupt a wedding by the Song family? Does he have a death wish?”
Everyone talked among themselves angrily. The kid had interrupted the wedding at its climax. At the same time, they regarded the kid with condescension.
Someone who dared disrupt the Song family’s wedding ceremony must be tired of living. Everyone knows the extent of the Song’s family’s authority in the Capital!
The kid’s actions were like a slap in their face. The kid was dead for sure!
“It’s him again!”
Ling Mingshan’s expression sank.
That was the kid who had stolen his daughter’s heart and shamed the Ling family. That kid was also the business rival of Tai An Group!
“You insolent kid… How dare you cross the Song family? No one can save you now!” Ling Mingshan said resentfully through gritted teeth.
Ling Rui’s expression changed when he saw that.
He knew that the kid had powerful people backing him, and he was quite capable of defending himself. His ‘brother-in-law’ had dispatched so many assassins against him, but none of them could kill the kid.
However, he regained his nerve when he remembered that they were in the Capital, and they had the support of the Song family.
‘What am I afraid about? No matter how powerful the kid can be, he won’t be as powerful as the Song family!’
The people from the Song family looked unhappy.
If news got out that someone had disrupted the wedding ceremony, they would lose a lot of face!
Song Linfei’s parents did not know what was going on. They only thought that the kid was Ling Wei’s other lover and did not approve of the marriage. They glanced at the Ling family unhappily and shouted. “Who the hell is that kid? Get someone to throw him out!”
Meanwhile, Song Weimin sat there in a daze.
His mind was blank at that moment.
“How could this be? Shouldn’t he… be dead by now? Even the Taoist master said that it’s done… so how…” He mumbled as his face grew paler and paler. His hands started shaking uncontrollably.
He felt an ominous feeling rising in his heart.
Did the plan fall through? Was he here for revenge?
His heart was seized by a deep-seated panic.
Ling Wei stood there on the platform, caught in a daze.
Her eyes were opened wide, and she looked obsessively at the person who had arrived.
Everything else in the heavens and the earth seemed to have disappeared at that moment. Only that person remained.
That was the person she had been thinking day and night!
‘He’s here! He’s really here!’
Her heart was instantly filled with bliss. She began trembling, and tears of joy welled up in her eyes.
Next to her, Song Linfei’s expression changed drastically. He could not believe what he saw either.
‘Why is he still alive?
‘Didn’t Grandfather say that he’s taken care of the kid?’
He became furious immediately when he was reminded of the humiliation he suffered that night!
“Hmph! So what if you’re here?” He scoffed. He grabbed Ling Wei’s arm and pulled her into his arms, then looked at Tang Hao with an instigating gaze.
“You’re not invited today, Tang kid. You’re not welcome here! Hey, are all you bodyguards idiots? Why haven’t you thrown him out yet?”
Bodyguards appeared from all corners of the hall. They all wore hostile expressions on their faces.
“How dare you disrupt the wedding? Prepare to die!”
“I’ll break your legs, you filthy kid!”
They shouted angrily as they pounced onto Tang Hao.
Tang Hao grimaced as he looked around him. He turned around and joined the fight.
He grabbed an arm and twisted it. Crack! A bone broke. After that, the bodyguard flew backward and fell onto the guests.
Tang Hao walked forward calmly, as though he was walking in the park, while defeating each bodyguard with snappy movements.
Everyone within his reach flew two or three meters away and onto the ground.
“Aaaah!” “Aaaah!” “Aaaah!”
The bodyguards screamed in agony.
The wedding guests were all stunned as they saw Tang Hao’s sleek movements.
Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
‘What? That guy is actually a martial arts master!’
All the bodyguards that rushed at him had all flown backward and dropped on the ground.
“Any more?”
After tossing another bodyguard away, Tang Hao looked around him.
“No one?” He dusted his hands and continued walking forward.
The guests rolled their eyes and almost cursed out loud.
‘Dammit, that kid is so pretentious!’
However, they turned around to look at bodyguards writhing in agony on the floor and immediately shut their mouths.
Perhaps that kid was not as pretentious as they thought.
They knew that many of the Song family’s bodyguards were army veterans. Some of them were from special forces too. However, the kid defeated them with a single move.
‘That kid is superhuman!’
‘Just who is he?’
The people became very curious.
Many people from the Song family were beginning to panic. They could guess who that kid was.
Earlier, Song Linfei had gotten himself into some trouble in Province Z, and Old Master Song had personally flown there in the middle of the night to bail him out. According to the rumors, the other person was very young and had military affiliations.
Evidently, he was that kid!
Tang Hao continued to walk forward.
The Ling family could not hold back anymore.
“Stand right there, Tang kid! We don’t welcome you here! I’ll call the police if you don’t leave!” Ling Rui jumped out.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes and slapped him.
“Ah!” Ling Rui cried out in agony.
“Shut up! You’re such a nuisance!” Tang Hao cursed softly and continued walking.
Ling Mingshan was shaking with anger.
“Hold it right there, Tang kid! It’s my daughter’s wedding day today. What do you hope to achieve by coming here? She doesn’t have any relations with you anymore!”
He stood up and shouted while pointing at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao lifted his hand and put it down again. After all, that person was Ling Wei’s father.
He hesitated for a while before lifting his hand again and slapped his face.
“Whatever, you deserve it! You don’t deserve to be her father!”
“Ah!” Ling Mingshan flew backward and fell on the ground.
Everyone was dumbstruck when they saw that.
‘What the hell? Why is that kid beating everyone up?’
They heard the conversation earlier, and they thought that the kid must be there to win the bride over. Why did he hit the bride’s father then?
Was this… some sort of practical joke?
Tang Hao flicked his wrists and continued wal
king.
“This is the Capital, Tang kid. You’re not in Province Z now. Don’t think that you can run rampant over here! There are many ways that the Song family can ruin you!”
Song Linfei jumped down from the stage. He was trembling with anger.
He did not expect that Tang Hao was brazen enough to disrupt his wedding.
Tang Hao glared coldly at him and slapped his face.
“Ah!” Song Linfei cried out in agony. A tooth flew out as he flew backward.
“This is ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!” Song Linfei’s father stood up. He was also trembling with anger.
“Hold it right there! You’ll pay for crossing the Song family!”
Tang Hao did not say anything and immediately slapped him.
“Ah!’ Song Linfei’s father flew away.
“Stop it, kid! You’re digging your own grave! You can’t afford to cross the Song family!”
“You’re dead for sure, Kid!”
Each of the Song family members stood up and pointed at Tang Hao while screaming.
Tang Hao did not bother replying to them with words. Instead, he slapped everyone who stood in his way.
Chapter 456 - The Song Family Is Finished
“Ah!” “Ah!”
Everyone who was slapped cried out in pain.
People kept on jumping in front of Tang Hao, but they soon fell backward and onto the ground.
The wedding hall fell eerily silent.
The other guests could only stare incredulously at the scene in front of them. Their jaws dropped, and their mouth made O shapes.
‘The kid’s gone mad!’
Those people that he slapped were all from the Song family, one of the most influential families in the country. Some of them were even high-ranking officials in the government,
