Wang Yan picked up the microphone, ready to make his speech.
"Mei zhen, i'm grateful that you've supported me this far...you've been very helpful to me and the business at Royal W...Thank you for everything." Wang Yan paused for a quick second and continued.
"But today, I, Wang Yan is only going to get engaged with the only one person i truly love..."
Wang Yan picked up the ring from the ring bearer pillow without looking at Mei zhen, leaving her bewildered on the stage.
Wang Yan descended from the stage with the ring on his hand, eyes on nobody else but just one person. That is Zhao Ziwei.
The crowd was in absolute chaos, everyone were exchanging their puzzled and confused looks, watching Wang Yan approaching Ziwei. Medias and cameras shutters flashed vigorously non-stop.
Wang Yan ignored all the buzz and chattering that was happening among everyone. There, he stood in front of the woman that he loved. Mei zhen's eyes widened with anger, clenching her fists as hard as she could.
"What are you doing!?" Ziwei was confused and shocked at Wang Yan's actions.
Just then Mei zhen's mother slammed the table and shouted across, unable to accept what was happening.
"Wang Yan! How could you do this to our Mei zhen! You son of a b*tch! Are you playing with my daughter!?"
"I know everything is too sudden for you, Qin..." Wang Yan's voice was soft and gentle towards Ziwei, and he turned to face everyone explaining the situation.
"Before i return to Shanghai 6 years ago, i made a pact, a promise with the woman that i loved with all my life. That i'd marry her when i'm back..We've waited for each other for 10 years just to see each other again.." Wang Yan was revealing his past in front of everyone in the ballroom.
"On the day of my return, the day that took 10 years of our lives...She didn't appear, and i didn't get to see her again. She was reported deceased in a fatal accident.." Wang Yan turned to Mei zhen's direction whose face was slowly turning pale with her eyes widened with fear and remorse.
"Never did i know, the deceased from the fatal accident...was not the woman that i loved. Until this day, this moment, the woman that made a pact with is standing right here in this ballroom." Wang Yan turned to Ziwei.
The ballroom fell into a complete silent after listening to Wang Yan's words. Nobody could believe their eyes what they have just witnessed.
"Gao Mei Zhen, you've made me agonized and grieve over Ruo Qin's death for the past 6 years, who was never dead. Your selfishness caused us to separate for 6 years!" Wang Yan's voice elevated as he continued.
Just then, a large screen on the stage flashed a CCTV footage of the actual crash scene that happened 6 years ago. It was the scene where Mei zhen knocked over 2 casualties and only picked one of them which was Ruo Qin.
"This footage is so blurry, there is no way you can assume it was Mei zhen! How dare you defame our Mei zhen!" Mother Gao was on the verge of tearing Wang Yan apart at this moment.
"I think Wang Yan have made it very clear to the Gao Family that he had no intention of marry our daughter, and yet framed her publicly! Director Wang, i declare that i will cease all investment to Wang Group!" Mei zhen's father was fuming as he warned Father Wang.
Few seconds later, another CCTV footage was displayed on the large screen. This time, there is no escape nor explanation.
It was the scene at the construction site where Song JianAn and Mei zhen appeared between the unconscious Ruo Qin. Mei zhen's face was clearly captured on the camera. Everyone was able to identify her on the video.
"No!!! This is not true at all! This video is a fake! It doesn't prove anything! Wang Yan! How could you accuse me!!" Mei zhen was still in denial, as the reporters and medias continued filming and snapping their cameras away.
Suddenly a voice traveled from the crowd behind the medias.
"I can prove it!"
It was Song JianAn.
"I was the man in the footage that Ms Gao begged me not to expose her deeds. She've bribed me with money to change Ruo Qin's identity, and to destroy all evidence." Song JianAn's appearance caused a stir.
"This man here is lying!!! You are the one who instigated me to do this! He ordered me to do this!" Mei zhen was losing her rationale starting swiping everything off the tables.
"You this dirty b*tch! I knew you would make me the scapegoat! Everyone here, i have the evidence of the car that Gao Mei Zhen drove 6 years ago! She ordered me to destroy it! I can prove it once the blood stains in the car are tested!"
Song JianAn's words clearly sent a message to everyone that Mei zhen attempted murder.
"Gao Mei Zhen, i am Xu Zheng from Shanghai Criminal Investigation. You're now under arrest as a suspect of manslaughter that happened 6 years ago."
Officer Xu Zheng flashed his arrest warrant and cuffed Mei zhen's wrists as the police dragged Mei zhen who was screaming frantically out of the ballroom.
"Mother! Mother help me! Tell them i didn't do it on purpose! Mother please!" Mei zhen was pleading Mother Gao while being grabbed by the police.
"Ms Zhao Ziwei, i hope you could follow us back to the headquarters for some verification." Officer Xu Zheng approached Ziwei, she nodded as she followed behind Officer Xu Zheng.
"I will come get you, trust me." Wang Yan looked at Ziwei, reassuring her.
She was still in shocked of all the events that just happened, but sub consciously doubting her identity.
Luo wei then emerged from the back after executing everything that Wang Yan had planned and seek for Luo wei's help.

Outside the ballroom...
The press were swarming around to catch a glimpse of the murderer.
While Mei zhen was still struggling to free herself until she caught the sight of Ziwei leaving the ballroom and taking her steps down the stairs.
"She must die..she must die...!" Mei zhen mumbled under her breath, the moment Ziwei caught her attention.
Suddenly! Mei zhen managed freed herself from the police and ran towards Ziwei, pushing Ziwei from the back causing her to fall and tumbled down a flight of spiral stairway that was about 2 levels high.
Ziwei rolled down the stairs and...
*BBAM!*
Ziwei's head thumped forcefully into a stone marbled sculpture stand as she landed unconsciously on the ground. Slowly...blood started trailing from the back of Ziwei's head.
"QIN!" Wang Yan rushed down the flight of stairs to her aid, supporting her head with his arm.
"Qin..!" Wang Yan's voice was croaking as he called out to her.
"CALL THE AMBULANCE NOW!"
Wang Yan yelled as loud as he could to whoever was present at the ground floor.
