During Mr. He's birthday banquet, all the famous families knew that the daughter of the Jiang family had a twin sister. Now that Gu Minghuai mentioned that, all the members of the Gu family turned their eyes toward Ning Yun's arm.
Ning Yun felt guilty and subconsciously clenched her arms, trying to cover it up. It was this action that made everyone even more suspicious.
Elder Mrs. Gu stepped forward and grabbed her arm, instantly letting everyone see it clearly.
"There isn't any birthmark on Miss Ning's arm," someone said after looking at it for a long time.
The bride-to-be who had come to attend Gu Minghuai's engagement ceremony was actually a fake.
Gu Minghuai stretched his long arm and grabbed Ning Yun by the neck. He said in a freezing voice, "Where is Ning Shan?!"
Ning Yun's neck was choked and her face turned red. She coughed repeatedly. "I, I will say..."
Gu Minghuai suddenly let go of her, his eyes so devoided of emotion as if he wanted to kill her.
Ning Yun took her phone out and looked at Gu Minghuai with fear, "I don't know where she is, can I make a call?"
After all that planning, she did not expect Ning Shan had a birthmark on her arm!
Gu Minghuai replied coldly, "Put the call on speaker."
Ning Yun did not dare to disobey him. As soon as the call connected, Mrs. Ning's voice immediately sounded in the engagement banquet hall, "Yun 'er, what's wrong? Did the engagement go smoothly?"
The Gu family was in an uproar. The bride-to-be was really fake.
"No, Mom. Do you know where Ning Shan is?"
"She's fine. Why are you asking where Ning Shan is?" Mrs. Ning frowned. "Let's finish the engagement ceremony first..."
"Mrs. Jiang," Gu Minghuai's cold voice sounded on the phone.
Mrs. Ning was shocked. "President Gu?"
She immediately realized that the plan had been exposed!
"Mrs. Jiang, where is Ning Shan? Don't make me ask again," Gu Minghuai asked coldly.
"You got it wrong, president Gu." Mrs. Ning's instantly changed her tone into a pitiful one. "I saw that Shanshan was taken away by some black-clothed men, so I thought that I should let Yun 'er take her place to marry her. It was my mistake, please forgive me..."
The members of the Gu family in the banquet hall were dumbfounded.
Mrs. Ning tried to fool them as much as she could with her lies. As soon as she hung up the phone, she immediately called her subordinates, "Create an accident to silence Ning Shan."
"Yes, Madam."
Ning Yun had already been taken away from the engagement banquet hall. The entire hall was noisy and rowdy. Elder Mrs. Gu had already announced that the engagement ceremony was suspended.
Gu Minghuai instructed his assistant, "Investigate immediately."
An hour later, his assistant received the news, "Fourth master, Miss Ning is in a small villa on the outskirts of the city."
"Bring someone along and let's set off immediately."
Many of the Gu family's relatives also went with him. Everyone was furious about the matter of the fake bride-to-be and wanted to help.
However, when Gu Minghuai brought his people to the villa, they discovered that the villa was already wrapped in raging flames. The crackling sound of the flames was very ear-piercing.
"Oh my god, why is it on fire?!" The members of the Gu family screamed.
"Quick, call 120."
"Let's think of a way to put out the fire before the fire brigade arrives! Miss Ning is still inside!"
"Shanshan, please be safe. Grandma is waiting for you to make more snacks for me in the future." Elder Mrs. Gu sobbed.
Gu Minghuai sat in the wheelchair, his dark and cold eyes reflecting the bright yellow flames, "Ning Shan..."
Judging from the fire, it was likely that she would be dead before the fire department arrived.
Gu Minghuai stood up quickly and dashed into the fire. He was very agile.
"Minghuai?"
"Son, you..."
Elder Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu cried out at the same time.
The members of the Gu family behind them all dropped their jaws in shock. Wasn't the legs of the head of the Gu family disabled?
