The Same Knife Could Cut Bread and Fingers

Outside the wedding venue, the luxury motorcade gradually approached, white BMW driving in line with a black extended limo among them, which looked extremely eye-catching. The front of each car was decorated with a heart made of flower at the hood. Right in the middle of the heart were dolls representing the bride and groom. Not to mention now it was after the doomsday, not many people could have a wedding as grand as this one before the doomsday. For their precious daughter-in-law, the princess Liu Yuan, the Zhou Family had made desperate effort.

The motorcade stopped at the entrance of the venue, and the limo was parked right in front of the gate. However, the door did not open immediately. Instead, nine groomsmen and nine bridesmaids, who represented eternal happiness, stood on both sides of the door while staff quickly lay the red carpet to the door.

"Boom…boom…"

Suddenly a roar sounded in the sky, and two helicopters flied bt. After that, colored ribbons that were commonly used in weddings fell from the sky, and it looked like 'flower pedals' raining down. Because the doom of the venue was transparent, every guests inside could see the flower pedals dancing in the sky. Some girls that were well-protected exclaimed enviably. Every woman dreamed of being a princess, meeting her Prince Charming, having a fairy-tale wedding and living happily ever after in the castle. However, in reality, only a few could have such a dream come true.

"Pfff, what the hell is this? Why not just sprinkle real flower petals? Huaien, when you and Yafei get married, don't be such a penny pincher. I'll fly the airplane for you and scatter real flower petals throughout the southwest base."

Chu Haoling, who was sitting next to Lu Haixuan, bent over the table. Seeing how disgust he felt, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Yang Huaien, at his name being called, turned to look at Zhan Yafei, "Yafei is a queen, not a delicate princess."

Every woman wanted to be a princess, and even after they married a prince, they would have to depend on others. They didn't know that a woman would feel the utter joy only when she became a queen by herself.

"That's true."

Zhan Yafei and Yun Yao were two of the few women they had in their squad. Because Yun Che always called them queen, they all respected them as queens, especially how Chu Haoling treated Yun Yao. Well, everyone knew the reason.

Outside the venue, as the 'petal rain' fell, the closest groomsman stepped forward to open the door like a gentleman, while the rest of the bridesmaids and groomsmen said in unison, "Please welcome the bride and groom!"

"Pa, pa, pa…"

The Zhou Family and Liu Family, who came out from inside to greet the couple, clapped their hands together, and the guests who came to watch applauded as well. The place was suddenly filled with thunderous applauses. But if you looked carefully, it was not difficult to find that the members of the Zhou and Liu families were forcing out a smile. What happened moments ago had already ruined their mood, and it would be a miracle that they could still smile as if there was nothing between thing.

The groom in a black tuxedo got down from the car without any expression on his face, then he turned around and reached inside the car to help Liu Yuan, who was wearing the luxury wedding dress, get down. The dress was designed to be off shoulder, subtly outlining her perfect breast shape, and covering Liu Yuan's bulged belly. It was a skirt, so Liu Yuan's long legs were exposed in the air, the long veil reaching the ground. This design made sure that Liu Yuan would not accidentally trip over it during the wedding.

On the other side, Liu Xizhao was also full of smile as he went out of the car with his wife. Looking at how amiably the couple smiled at their daughter, members of the Liu Family nudged each other and no one was willing to deliver the bad news. But things had already happened and Leng Yehan was right inside the venue. None of the Xiao Family came out because of this, and if they didn't tell them about the news now, the consequences would be more serious.

When the bride and groom were still outside fixing their makeup, Liu Xiyang, who was voted to take the responsibility, gritted his teeth and walked over, "Brother, sister-in-law, congratulations. Yuan and Zhijun are just made for each other."

God knew how much he had to go against his conscience to utter these words of acclamation. They were indeed both good looking and seemed to be a perfect match, but after what happened, he was disgusted with the Zhou Family to the extreme, so he also felt discontent with Zhou Zhijun. The behavior of the parents could often tell the character of their children. He always felt that Zhou Zhijun might not be as good as they had perceived.

"Thank you, uncle."

Liu Yuan thanked Liu Xiyang happily before her parents could reply and when she turned to Zhou Zhijun, she felt shy that her face flushed. However, Zhou Zhijun didn't seem to feel the same at all, as he remained expressionless.

"Big brother, there is something I need to tell you."

Once people put on tinted glasses, everything seemed wrong. Liu Xiyang frowned at Zhou Zhijun's reaction and he decided to cut the euphemisms. For some reason, he suddenly felt that compared to Zhou Zhijun, Leng Yehan was so much better, and he was the son of the Liu Family and the Leng Family. If he was made the successor, there would definitely be a brighter future for the Liu Family.

The more Liu Xiyang thought about it, the more he believed it to be a brilliant idea. It this way, they wouldn't have to worry that the Liu Family would become part of the Zhou Family in the future.

"What is it? Can't we talk about it later?"

Turning his head to look at him, Liu Xizhao then checked on his watch. The wedding was about to start.

"No. it's serious."

Liu Xizhao knew what kind of a person his brother was so after some thought, he had a word with his wife and walked to a less crowded place. They exchanged words in a low voice and no one deliberately paid attention to what they were saying. However, if one looked over, they would find that Liu Xizhao's facial expression changed dramatically.

"Damn it, how could he be with Yun Che?"

Hearing his brother's words, Liu Xizhao's face darkened and he gritted his teeth. He had access to Peak's member list long time ago, and he didn't find the name Liu Ye in it. Remembering his second brother told him that he and Yun Cheng were close, the name Leng Yehan suddenly slipped through his mind. Liu Xizhao instantly felt furious. He had changed his name. He had actually changed his name!

"Big brother, calm down first. Now the Xiao Family already knows about his existence, and he is sitting right inside the venue, so sister-in-law will also know about it soon. What we need to do now is not to angrily pursue why he is with Yun Che, but prevent him from telling others who he is. He doesn't come here on good terms and he must hold grudges towards us.

How could he not hold grudges? He, as a little brother, knew perfectly well how Liu Xizhao treated Leng Mei, and even he felt that Liu Xizhao was too cruel. At least he shouldn't be that cold-hearted when Leng Mei was dying, and refused to visit her for one last time. He tired to talk some sense into him then, but Liu Xizhao was just stubborn. After Leng Mei's funeral, Liu Ye disappeared. After all these happened, it was understandable that he held grudges.

"How dare he?!"

Liu Xizhao reflexively roared in a low voice, then gritted his teeth and said, "So he has the backing of the Xing family. So what? Can the Xing Family guard them 24/7? If that bastard dares to ruin Yuan's wedding, I will make his life worse than hell!"

"Then what if Yun Cheng is a research genius who has not only developed an improved formula for nutrient, but is also working on how to improve human fertility, while Yun Che has the secret to growing crops in the southwest?"

Liu Xiyang threw a wet blanket on him without mercy. At present not only the major families, even the representatives of the major bases who came to the wedding turned their attention to the brothers by Senior Xing. It would be mission impossible for them to harm them, and if they were not careful, they would be doomed. As everyone knew, both human fertility and crop sustainability were closely related to the future of mankind. And now Yun Cheng and Yun Che were in control of these two vital secrets, if the words got out that they wanted to exterminate them, they might become the enemy of the whole China. Most importantly, though Liu Xizhao was still the president, he was not the base commander. If they pissed off the big families, those families might ask for a reelection. If Liu Xizhao was no longer the president, they would not be able to take charge of the police force that was comparable to an army. Moreover, their army was now managed by Zhou Zhijun, so if Zhou Zhijun turned his back on them, that would be the end of the Liu Family.

"Are you serious?"

He was, after all, the president of a country, so Liu Xizhao was not an idiot. Seeing that, Liu Xiyang told him the whole story. Senior Xing was such a sly fox. He pushed the two brothers into the limelight, which looked like that he was causing trouble for them, but in fact he was forging an invulnerable parachute for them. Everyone wanted to benefit from them and yet no one dared to make any move on them. It was like the same knife could cut bread and fingers.

Liu Xizhao went silent. He didn't wish for the situation to turn up like this, and he couldn't single-handedly break this deadlock. Meanwhile, he still had to face the questioning from the Xiao Family. For the moment, Liu Xizhao felt headache, regretting why he hadn't done a more thorough investigation on the members of Peak and why he didn't pay closer attention to Leng Yehan's whereabouts after he disappeared.

"What are you guys talking about? Hurry up and come over. The wedding is about to start."

Not far away, Liu Xizhao's wife Xiao Lan raised her voice and called out to them. The bride and the groom were already standing at the entrance and they were about to come in. They could also hear music coming from inside the venue. The two exchanged a look and Liu Xizhao instructed in a low voice, "Go inside the venue to find that little bastard first. Try to stall him as best as you can. When I'm finished with the business here, I'll seek him. Let's not care about how the Xiao Family feel for now. The only thing we have to do now is to stop him from making more trouble After today, everything will fine."

"Big brother!"

"What?"

Liu Xizhao hurriedly turned to leave after he finished his word, but Liu Xiyang called out to him. The former turned back in confusion, as the latter gritted his teeth and asked tentatively, "Big brother, have you ever thought of bringing him back to the Liu Family? A son-in-law is an outsider after all."

And he didn't think that Leng Yehan was inferior to Zhou Zhijun in any way. Most importantly, he was still the only son left of the Leng Family, so if he was in charge of the army, the soldiers would be more loyal.

"…Let's talk about it later."

After a while of silence, Liu Xizhao still strode away. Looking at his back, Liu Xiyang let out a deep sigh. He just couldn't understand why his brother would be so stubborn. He used to fear the Xiao Family, but what about now? The Xiao Family had known it all so what was keeping him from recognizing his own son? No wonder Leng Yehan would deliberately cause trouble for them. He would do the same if he was put under the same situation.

The entire venue quieted down as the Wedding March slowly played. Everyone turned their attention to the door. The groom, Zhou Zhijun, was standing under the first gate made of balloons with the groomsmen, while the bride was holding her father's arm, walking step by step towards him with the bridesmaids. No one noticed that Zhou Ting, who was supposed to be disappeared, appeared in the venue, standing among the guests and friends staring at them with a cold and malevolent look.
