The Villain's Little Sister is Spoiled by the Male Lead - C.183: Setting a trap

The man in the middle pondered for a while, then made a firm decision, "Let's do it!"

"I'll arrange it right away!"

However, Wei Qing felt it wasn't the right time, "Father, I think we need to wait a little longer."

Her uncle Wei Zhongliang said, "What are we waiting for? This is a good opportunity! I'll arrange it right away." He then left.

Wei Qing frowned, "Father!" Were the people from the Song and Chi families really that simple?

Wei Zhongcheng raised his hand, "No need to say more, let's do it this way."

At the hotel, everything was going smoothly for now. On the stage, Song Luokui and Chi Yu were reading their wedding vows. After that, the two gave a brief speech, expressing their happiness that everyone could attend to witness their engagement ceremony, and hoping everyone would enjoy the food and drinks.

While they were on stage, someone walked over and whispered something to Song Moqian and Chi Yong separately.

Chi Yong and Song Moqian exchanged a glance. After Song Luokui and Chi Yu finished, it was the parents' turn to give speeches. The parents from both families went on stage.

"We hope our children will walk through all the ups and downs of life hand in hand from now on, respect and love each other, and grow old together... We are also very grateful for your presence today, for this is our daughter/son's joyous occasion... Thank you all."

Just as the words were spoken, a group of people suddenly entered from outside, walking straight to the front of the stage. "We're sorry to interrupt, but we need to investigate something."

Chi Yong and Song Moqian exchanged another look. Chi Yong spoke first, "Today is a happy occasion for the children. If you need to investigate something, I'll go with you."

The investigation team said, "Sir Song may need to come along as well."

Sheng Rong immediately gripped Song Moqian's hand tightly. Song Moqian patted her hand, "It's alright, I'll be right back."

Many people in the audience were watching the investigation team. The team members felt a lot of pressure, considering the people present here... But they had no choice!

Alas, they hoped the Chi and Song families wouldn't blame them.

Apart from Chi Yong and Song Moqian, several others were also taken away, including Ji Xiao's father.

Song Luokui was dumbfounded by this scene. She froze for a moment, about to step forward, but Chi Yu immediately embraced her, "Don't move. Your father and the others will handle it."

Song Luokui looked up at him, "You know something, don't you?"

Chi Yu shook his head, "I'm not entirely clear, but I can guess. I'll apologize to you later, but for now, it's too dangerous outside. Why don't we stay here and entertain the guests?"

The remaining guests were confused, unaware of why this sudden incident occurred during the otherwise pleasant engagement ceremony.

Sheng Rong was the first to step forward, "It's alright, everyone enjoy the food and drinks. They'll be back soon."

Yan Sui also said, "It's nothing serious, don't worry. Are the delicacies not enticing enough today? Please savor them at your leisure."

The host promptly livened up the atmosphere, playing upbeat music. Since the Song and Chi families seemed so calm, the guests assumed it couldn't be anything serious and continued eating and drinking.

Those with weaker resolve left quickly, but Sheng Rong and Yan Sui didn't force them to stay. Some who knew the specifics remained nonchalant, continuing to eat and merely reminding their family members, "Just enjoy the food, don't pry too much. It's nothing serious."

Hearing this, their family members relaxed, for they were part of the Song/Chi family's circle. If something happened to the leaders, then they...

Since the family leaders said it wasn't a problem, then it must not be a problem.

Loulishu and Zhang Xiyue had no idea what was going on, so they could only look to their fathers or mothers. However, seeing their calm demeanors, they also felt reassured that nothing serious had occurred.

However, even until the end of the engagement ceremony, Song Moqian, Chi Yong, and the others hadn't returned. Song Luokui sat in her room, looking at Sheng Rong, "Mom, what about Dad...?"

Sheng Rong hugged her, "It's alright. I'm sorry such an incident occurred on your engagement day." Sheng Rong's expression held some guilt. "You'll know tomorrow. Your father will be fine."

Song Luokui looked at Chi Yu, feeling that everyone was hiding something from her.

But she had no choice but to stay in the room.

After comforting her, Sheng Rong and Yan Sui left. Chi Yu stayed in the room with her. Suddenly, Song Luokui thought, "What about my brother? Where is he?"

Chi Yu replied, "He probably went to help."

"Help?" Song Luokui didn't understand.

Chi Yu said, "I can't tell you now. You'll know tomorrow."

Song Luokui was dissatisfied. "Why is everyone hiding things from me? I'm not a child anymore. I can help too." She felt defeated.

Chi Yu stroked her head, "Everyone mainly wants to protect you." If the enemy retaliated, he was afraid they might do something if they caught Song Luokui, using her as leverage against the two families.

That night, Jing City was shaken. Many people were unaware, still asleep. Song Luokui had also fallen asleep after waiting until midnight for Song Moqian and the others to return, but they never showed up.

Chi Yu stayed with her, comforting her until she finally fell asleep around 1 AM. He held her, caressed her hair, kissed her forehead, tucked her in, and then got up.

He carefully stepped out of the room, unaware that Song Luokui had woken up shortly after. She sat up, quietly walked to the door barefoot, and opened a small crack to eavesdrop on Chi Yu's phone conversation.

Chi Yu said, "How are things? Have you captured everyone?"

"Wei Qing escaped? Where could he have gone? Not abroad, the flight routes have been suspended. Check the borders?"

"What about the other members of the Wei family?"

"I didn't expect them to cause trouble during the engagement ceremony. My father is alright..."

Listening, Song Luokui vaguely guessed that this engagement was part of a setup. So everything was just a ploy? And they were hiding it from her? 𝔣𝖗𝔢𝖊𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪

Song Luokui walked back to the bed in a daze and sat there, staring blankly.

When Chi Yu finished his call and returned to the room, he saw Song Luokui sitting on the bed. "Why are you awake?"

Song Luokui looked up at him with no expression, "So the engagement and the injuries were all part of a setup?"

Chi Yu walked over, squatted in front of her, and held her hands, "You know now?"

Song Luokui took a deep breath, "So you knew about this all along too?"

Song Luokui shook her head, "I didn't know about it before, I only guessed it later. My father didn't tell me either."

At this point, Song Luokui couldn't help but let a tear roll down, and Chi Yu immediately panicked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have hidden it from you."

Song Luokui kept shaking her head, "I know I shouldn't be sad, you all did it mainly for the greater good, but I still feel like I don't know anything, everything is arranged by you, I'm just like an obedient doll."

Her original plan was to get engaged after graduation, or maybe even get married, but now everything has been brought forward. She didn't know what happened either, and she didn't dislike Chi Yu, but she just felt that everything was too fast, as if she had blinked and entered another stage.

On the day of the engagement, she was very confused. Was she just going to get engaged and then get married after graduation and become a mother? Was this the life she wanted?

She felt it shouldn't be like this, she should be unrestricted, doing whatever she wanted, and not confined to a role.

She thought she must have had commitment phobia, and if there was a fear of marriage, there must also be a fear of engagement, after all, she wanted to be unrestricted but also in a safe environment to be unrestricted. She understood the reasoning, but she couldn't help but feel sad, probably because she felt everyone was hiding things from her, and she couldn't help at all.

Song Luokui cried, and Chi Yu frantically wiped her tears, "It's our fault, I should have told you from the beginning instead of letting you worry without knowing anything, it's our mistake."

"Using the engagement as a ploy was my fault, I apologize to you." Chi Yu hugged her tightly.

Actually, the "ploy" wasn't Chi Yu's doing, it was something that Chi Yong and Song Moqian had discussed and decided on, and Sheng Rong also knew about it. Chi Yu and Song Luosheng didn't know about it at first, but they later guessed it.

After all, with such a big commotion, they had their own people to investigate, so they figured it out themselves. The only one who didn't know was Song Luokui.

The reason they weren't told was to prevent too many people from leaking the news. Some high-profile figures at the engagement banquet were also aware of it, otherwise, chaos would have erupted. Song Moqian and Chi Yong had both made arrangements with the relevant parties.

Song Luokui wiped the corner of her eye, "I was just a little sad for a moment, I'm fine. I also know that the situation hasn't been too good lately."

Not just not good, it was extremely dangerous. One misstep and everything would be lost, and both the Chi Family and the Song Family would fall.

"And I'm a little scared." Song Luokui lowered her eyes.

Chi Yu gently asked, "Scared of what?"

Song Luokui raised her eyelids, "Maybe I'm scared of entering a new stage, afraid that after our engagement, I won't be able to be like before."

When they were just boyfriend and girlfriend, it was fine, they could break up if they wanted to, but with Chi Yu coming to her family, and her visiting Chi Yu's parents, the two families were closely tied together, they were on the same boat, and if one side had trouble, the other side would lend a hand.

This feeling didn't just appear recently, it had been there from the beginning, probably because she felt like things were progressing too fast, and she hadn't had time to transition into her new role.

Song Luokui really admired Tu Shanyue's courage, she had decided in just three months. She had asked her why she wasn't afraid, and Tu Shanyue told her, "Because I knew from the beginning that I was going to have an arranged marriage, and since it was going to be an arranged marriage, feelings had to be put aside first. It's not wrong to cultivate feelings, but I would still pursue the maximum benefit. In the face of benefits, I think feelings aren't worth mentioning."

Tu Shanyue was very clear-headed, her family didn't raise her to be a romantic.

Her situation was different from Song Luokui's. Song Luokui and Chi Yu got together because they had feelings for each other, so she would also think about what would happen if their relationship broke down. With the two families tied together like this, she felt like they couldn't separate even if their feelings weren't good in the future.

"Don't be afraid, you're still you, you're Song Luokui, the precious daughter of the Song Family, and now you've just added another identity, the precious daughter of the Chi Family. Whatever you want to do in the future, just do it. If you want a career, go for it, if you don't, you can travel the world freely."

"After you graduate from university, if you want to go for a master's degree, go for it, if you don't want to, that's fine too. Even if you get married in the future, you can still do whatever you want. If you don't want to live in the main residence, then don't, you can live anywhere you want in Jing City. Even if you don't want to have children, that's fine too. As long as you're happy."

"I will remove any obstacle that makes you unhappy!" Chi Yu promised.

He knelt on one knee in front of Song Luokui, resting his head gently on her thigh, "I am your captive, so you can do whatever you want."

Song Luokui lowered her head and caressed his face, "Thank you."

Chi Yu stood up and hugged her, "It's late, shall we rest?"

Song Luokui: "Okay."

The next morning, Chi Yu and Song Luokui returned to the main residence, originally to have a meal with both families, but Song Moqian and the others hadn't returned yet, so Chi Yu sent Song Luokui home and left to help out.

This time, the Wei Family, the Chen Family, and those people wouldn't be able to escape!

Yesterday afternoon, while Chi Yu and the others were at the engagement banquet, Wei Zhongliang had arranged for people to arrest Chi Yong, Song Moqian, and others, and even sent people to their offices to steal seals and documents.

So that's why Chi Yong and Song Moqian were taken away at the engagement banquet, but what they didn't know was that those who went to steal weren't able to steal anything and were caught red-handed. Not only that, as soon as Song Moqian entered the interrogation room, even before being questioned, he directly said: "I have evidence of the Wei Family colluding with foreign enemies and committing treason!"

Piles of evidence were immediately presented, including collusion, assassination attempts, bribery, and more.

Soon after, the Wei Family was surrounded. Wei Zhongcheng first arranged for Wei Qing to leave and find someone, then he went with the investigators.

But as soon as Wei Qing left the Wei Family, he was tailed. It took him great effort to finally escape. When he called his brother, he found out that he had been betrayed and was almost caught. When he tried to contact people on his mother's side, the phones were unreachable.

After running all night, Wei Qing discovered that the company had been sealed off, and even he, the boss, had to be investigated. Furthermore, his father and uncle had not called back.

Not long after, when he went to a supermarket to buy some water, he found that the early morning news surprisingly reported that the Wei Family had committed treason by selling out the country!

It even mentioned him as a fugitive, not just him, but also Wei Li whom he had sent abroad.

Other close associates of their family were all subject to investigation.

Wei Qing hurriedly paid, but the checkout girl looked at his face and then at the TV, "Hey? Are you the one on TV?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Qing threw down ten dollars, "No." Then he left, but people had already started chasing him as he fled.

Wei Qing had no choice but to keep running...

However, he couldn't get away and was soon surrounded...

Song Luokui had been watching the news at home to keep up with recent events. When she saw Wei Qing being arrested, she suddenly felt it was quite dramatic. However, she remembered that Wei Qing had some cooperation with her brother, so it shouldn't affect her brother, right?

Then she thought that her brother hadn't called back home recently either. Song Luokui had tried calling him, but it wasn't her brother who answered, it was his secretary. She didn't know what her brother was up to.

After that day, Chi Yu hadn't come back either, but he would send her messages every day to let her know he was safe. Due to the confidentiality of the matter, he couldn't say too much.
