Chapter 229: Chapter 229

After Chen Jun and Yang Lin finished the ceremony, it was time to toast the guests.

According to tradition, the parents of both sides and the newlyweds should go to each table to toast.

But Father Yang and Yang’s mother just took Yang Lin and Chen Jun and directly left out Chen Jun’s parents.

Chen Jun’s parents were unaware of this tradition and were still sitting at the main table happily.

Chen Jun was furious.

Looking down on his parents is as good as looking down on him.

He could feel that some people were looking at him differently.

But because of Father Yang’s influence, he didn’t dare to show his true feelings.

He just stood by the side with a forced smile.

When the toasting was almost done, several people in military prosecutor uniforms suddenly walked in.

Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at the prosecutors, and the whole hall became particularly quiet.

Father Yang looked over, his heart sinking.

But he still forced a smile, comforting himself mentally.

Today was his daughter’s wedding; maybe these people came to offer congratulations.

He quickly walked up to them.

"Is there something you need?"

Father Yang asked with a smile.

"Are you Yang Shangwu?"

The men didn’t specify the issue and directly asked.

"Yes, that’s me, and you are?"

"We are from the military prosecutor’s office, and we need you to come with us now."

The leader said, and two people stepped forward to restrain him.

"What are you doing?"

Father Yang was a bit anxious.

Yang’s mother stood behind, not knowing they were from the military prosecutor’s office, but sensing something was wrong, she quickly rushed forward.

Yang Bing, Chen Jun, and Yang Lin all stood by Yang’s mother.

"Today is my daughter’s big day, are you here to make trouble?"

Yang’s mother said angrily.

Her husband was an officer in the army, yet these people chose this moment, wasn’t this a slap in their face?

"We received a report that your husband is suspected of taking bribes, and we need to take him away for investigation."

The person’s words were like a bomb, making Father Yang’s ears buzz.

"Is there some mistake? You can conduct the investigation, but can we finish my daughter’s wedding first and then take him?"

Since Father Yang had never discussed the bribery issue with Yang’s mother, and she only knew about using some connections to move Yang Lin and her brother to the city, Yang’s mother thought it couldn’t be illegal, assuming there was some misunderstanding.

She tried to negotiate with them.

"Sorry, we have to follow procedures."

Saying this, the person turned and walked out.

Father Yang was also taken away.

Leaving Yang’s mother standing there cursing.

Yang Lin had never seen such a scene and started crying, holding her mother’s arm.

"Mom, do you think Dad really did something wrong?"

Yang Lin felt uneasy; it was her father who arranged her transfer from Ye Hao’s unit to the military hospital.

It was probably her father who used connections to transfer her brother too.

If someone wanted to harm them, these could become leverage.

Plus, she always asked her father for money when lacking funds; she suspected her father might have quite a bit of money.

Could it all be from bribes?

Yang Lin grew more frightened the more she thought about it.

"It can’t be, your father only found people for the two of you, and those were old connections, it’s nothing serious."

Yang’s mother tried to comfort Yang Lin.

Watching Yang Lin’s reaction, Chen Jun knew the situation wasn’t as simple as Yang’s mother described.

He could only pray that Father Yang will be fine.

Otherwise, he had done so much, set this trap, and with his goal in sight, problems shouldn’t arise at this critical point.

Uncertain about Father Yang’s outcome, he knew he needed to step up and control the situation.

He quickly stood by Yang Lin and comforted her.

"This is our wedding, don’t cry; Dad will be fine; let’s send the guests off first."

After hearing this, Yang Lin quickly wiped her tears; she couldn’t let others make a joke out of them.

"Yes, let’s send the guests off first and discuss what to do once we’re home."

Yang Bing also quickly said.

Seeing the situation, the guests also stood up and bid farewell.

Once everyone left, the Yang and Chen families went to Yang Lin’s house.

"Someone must be intentionally trying to harm Dad, but it could also be related to the two of you."

Yang Bing suddenly said to Yang Lin and Chen Jun.

"What does it have to do with us?"

Yang Lin felt baffled.

"If it’s unrelated, why did this incident happen so coincidentally on your wedding day?"

Yang Bing glanced at Yang Lin.

He has always thought this incident stemmed from his sister.

Because of Yang Lin’s personality, she easily offended people.

Perhaps someone aimed to get back at her by targeting their father.

"Maybe it’s just a coincidence."

Although Yang Lin was defensive, she felt uneasy inside.

"Mom, brother, Yang Lin, regardless of the reason, we have to think of a way to get Dad out."

Chen Jun was worried as he listened to their discussion.

Now they were analyzing whose fault it was, shouldn’t they first think about getting Father Yang out?

He directly interrupted them.

"Yes, don’t analyze it further; getting your father out is the priority."

Yang’s mother disliked Chen Jun, but what he said made sense.

Neither Yang Bing nor Yang Lin said anything.

"Mom, you should check with those aunties you are close with, and I will look into it at the army to see what’s going on. We should also visit those uncles who are usually friendly with Dad and hope they can lend a hand."

Yang Bing directly arranged.

"Okay, okay, I will start making calls now."

Yang’s mother hurriedly stood up from the sofa and went to find her notebook with the phone numbers.

"Yang Lin, Chen Jun, you also use your connections to find out any information."

Yang Lin and Chen Jun both nodded.

"Then let’s act separately; I’ll head back to the unit first."

Yang Bing said as he walked out the door.

The Yang family was in chaos, but Ye Hao and Li Yifan leisurely enjoyed drinks.

"Now Yang Lin and Chen Jun probably won’t bother you anymore."

Li Yifan smiled and said to Ye Hao.

"Thank you, squad leader; I owe you for this."

Ye Hao raised his glass to clink with Li Yifan’s.

"There’s no need for this between us. I helped you, but you could also say you helped me; we’re even now."

Li Yifan’s father and his uncle had been investigating Yang Lin’s father.

This was killing two birds with one stone.

Li Yifan said with a smile.

"By the way, how are things with Gu Yi? Last time I saw you leaving in a hurry, you went to see her, right? Any progress?"

Mentioning Gu Yi, Ye Hao fell silent.

He shook his head and took another sip of wine.

"Is she still ignoring you?"

Li Yifan asked cautiously.

"Her dad was initially friendly, but I guess Gu Yi told her dad something because he no longer lets me in. I talked for a long time before being let in, but I still didn’t see Gu Yi, and now I don’t know what to do."

Ye Hao said gloomily.

Li Yifan had little experience in this area, unsure of what advice to give.

"This doesn’t sound like the Ye Hao I know; I’m sure you’ll figure something out."

But he still offered comfort, even though it was of little help.
