Zhang Chunxiu looked at the luxurious venue, at the influential figures she usually only saw on television, and at the smiles on their faces. The more they smiled, the more her heart ached.
Or rather, the happier they were, the more uncomfortable Zhang Chunxiu felt.
She knew that all of this was because of her daughter. Without her daughter's heart and corneas, this wedding would never have happened!
Behind this wedding was a living life, her daughter!
The Ye family patriarch, Ye Nantian, personally attended, as did the Li family patriarch, Li.
The presence of these two heavyweight figures drew many who knew the news. It was less a wedding and more a gathering of magnates beneath the guise of a wedding.
Even someone from the municipal government, Daxia, was attending the wedding. To put it bluntly, the Ye and Li families were major taxpayers, and their businesses were extensive, so many wanted to foster good relationships with them.
Moreover, the Ye family's influence was profound!
Not only were these people present, but there was also an even more significant figure, Han Qingshan!
Han Qingshan was a legendary figure with influence in the military, political, and business sectors.
Han Qingshan joined the army in his youth. After over thirty years in the military, he achieved the rank of Two-Star General. Due to certain reasons, he retired and moved directly into the judicial department, becoming an intermediate court judge. After turning sixty, he was promoted to Vice President of the Supreme Court. Upon retirement at sixty-five, he started a business.
Han Corporation went public within two years, with a current market value of tens of billions.
Although his son now managed Han Corporation, he still held considerable influence in the capital city, with many protégés holding important positions.
This was someone whose troubles would truly implicate multiple departments.
Furthermore, Han Qingshan was also Li Ming's maternal grandfather; Li Ming's mother was Han Qingshan's daughter.
In other words, if this wedding concluded perfectly, Han Qingshan, the Li family, and the Ye family would essentially be bound together.
Interests aligned.
The Ye family was already a power bloc. With the addition of the Li family and Han Qingshan's stature, these three interest groups converging could create an immeasurable impact.
Consequently, over these five days, some people with intentions had investigated the matter between Zhang Chunxiu and Li Ming. The rumors spread widely in the public, hoping to use this to prevent their union.
But now, it seemed to have no effect.
After all, with the combined might of these three factions, no one dared to confront them directly, as the consequences of such a confrontation would be significant.
"Something's happened, something's happened! That crazy woman over there has a knife and is threatening to kill the Young Master. Damn, good thing they subdued her, or it would have been a disaster."
"What? Impossible! How could something like this happen? Someone dares to cause trouble at this wedding? Are they insane?"
"Who knows what's going on? Hurry over and take a look. I hope nothing happens. With so many big shots here today, any incident would be embarrassing."
A group of people rushed over. Upon arriving at the scene, they found three burly men restraining a small woman. The woman held a knife, its blade glinting in the sunlight.
"What's the situation?"
Ye Nantian, Li Zhaoyuan, and Han Qingshan strode forward.
"Patriarch, Family Head Ye, Mr. Han."
"This woman suddenly rushed towards the Young Master with a knife, saying she wanted revenge for her daughter. She wanted to dig out her daughter's heart with her own hands. We don't know the details of what happened," the security personnel said helplessly.
Han Qingshan waved his hand, "Alright, you can leave. I'll handle the questioning."
The security personnel released Zhang Chunxiu. She still tried to rush towards Li Ming, but Li Ming was already shielded behind the security personnel.
"Madam, why are you causing trouble at my grandson's wedding? Can you give me a reason?" Han Qingshan asked with a smile, seemingly unbothered by the disturbance.
Zhang Chunxiu held her knife, pointing it at Han Qingshan, her voice filled with anger and despair, "Who are you? Are you also going to stop me from getting revenge?"
Reason?
These people were all feigning ignorance, none of them were genuinely clueless!
"We must know what the matter is, don't you agree?" Han Qingshan continued to greet her with a smile.
Zhang Chunxiu sneered, "This beast's heart belongs to my daughter. My daughter could have lived, but because she was a match for him, they tricked me, an illiterate woman, into signing an organ donation agreement. They took my daughter's heart for him. Tell me, why?
My daughter was human too! This beast is also human. He caused a car accident by speeding, and why should my daughter pay the price? Why is my daughter dead, yet this beast is still alive?"
There were already rumors circulating in the public, and now with this incident at the wedding, it further validated those rumors.
"Is it because you are rich, because you have power and influence, that you can disregard human life? Is your son's life a life, and my daughter's life not a life?
Han Qingshan, I know you. A while back, my husband's colleague was crippled by a rich second-generation heir. When he sued, you were the judge. And how did you rule? My husband's colleague, the victim, was sentenced to three years in prison for 'failing to observe the traffic lights'!
It's laughable. The other party was clearly speeding and had been drinking, yet instead of speaking up for the victim, you sentenced the victim to prison. What, Judge Han, did you accept money?"
Zhang Chunxiu's mournful voice rang out, drawing everyone's gaze to Han Qingshan. Their eyes held an indefinable expression, which caused Han Qingshan's face to darken.
As the saying goes, do not expose someone's shortcomings in public.
But Zhang Chunxiu went straight to revealing these matters.
Han Qingshan was also a man who valued his reputation. Being cursed at like this, how could he be happy?
"What? Judge Han, unhappy now? Want to kill me? Come on, I'm right here. As long as you kill me, no one will know about these things."
Zhang Chunxiu continued to sneer. The entire venue became strangely quiet.
If Han Qingshan truly killed her, it would confirm that these matters were true and that he was guilty.
Moreover, with so many people present, if word of this got out, it would attract the attention of the supervisory committee, and he would be in trouble.
"Heh, people are divided into classes."
"People like us, standing at the pinnacle, can our like be compared to an ant like your daughter? Your daughter giving her heart to me is her honor. Moreover, our procedures were legal and legitimate, with your signed organ donation agreement, in black and white.
You just want money, don't you? Speak up, how much do you want?"
