Chapter 1840 Xia Wei and Mu Mingqi's Wedding
As they drove towards the wedding venue, Er Ya looked out the window and saw the car heading further and further into the countryside. She couldn't help but turn back to Zhang Ran and ask, "Aren't we going to Xia Wei's wedding? Why is Qiu Yu driving the car into the countryside?"
Zhang Ran took out her phone and glanced at the address Mu Mingqi had sent her. "That's right, the Martyrs' Cemetery..."
"Wait? Where did you say?" Er Ya's eyes widened in surprise. "A cemetery? A wedding venue?"
Zhang Ran put away her phone and looked at her. "The address is correct. Mu Mingqi lost his parents when he was young, and Xia Wei's father also passed away. They are both buried in the cemetery. Others may not understand why they would hold a wedding in the cemetery, but it's their own choice."
Er Ya's face instantly turned grave: "...So tragic." Her loved ones were lying in the martyrs' cemetery; holding the wedding there was a way of letting them see her and receiving their blessings. She reached out and took Zhang Ran's arm, resting her head against it: "Although I understand, I'm still a little scared."
Zhang Ran laughed, "What's so scary about dead people? They can't crawl out and hurt anyone while lying on the ground. On the contrary, living people are more terrifying than dead people."
Er Ya: "...I understand the logic, but I've been afraid of ghosts since I was little."
Zhang Ran reached out and flicked her nose with her finger, then leaned closer and whispered, "Ghosts are afraid of people, otherwise they would have come back to avenge me long ago, wouldn't they?"
Er Ya: "..." She knew clearly in her heart that she was referring to her father, Wang Deshui, who died many years ago, and her mother, Wu Yun, who had just passed away not long ago.
Although the wedding venue was listed as a martyrs' cemetery, it wasn't actually held there. To avoid disturbing the peace of other martyrs, it was held at a restaurant at the foot of the hill in the cemetery. This place was far from the city's hustle and bustle, with few patrons. The restaurant owner was a retired policeman, and the chef was a retired soldier; everyone was of clean background, so there was no need to worry about malicious people sneaking in to assassinate or disrupt the wedding.
After Zhang Ran and the others got out of the car, Qiu Yu and Dong Chan did not get out but stayed inside to wait, as Zhang Ran had specifically instructed.
Two plainclothes police officers stood at the entrance of the restaurant, checking every guest who entered.
Through the open doors, I could see that the lobby had been decorated as a wedding venue, with two rows of uniformed police officers standing there, and people sitting at the tables on both sides were also in uniform, from various departments.
Seeing this scene, Er Ya's legs went weak before she even went in, and she clung to Zhang Ran, regretting her decision.
Even when I was little and had never done anything wrong, I was still afraid of these uniformed officers. Now that I have a murder on my hands, I'm even more afraid of them. "I...I'll wait for you in the car."
The two plainclothes police officers guarding the restaurant entrance looked over. Zhang Ran leaned close to her ear and whispered, "What you're afraid of is just the clothes they're wearing. Can you imagine if I were dressed like that, you'd be afraid of me too?"
Er Ya muttered under her breath, "...That's not how you use an analogy."
Zhang Ran reached out and pinched her cheek. "In private, I play with He Yunfan while he's in uniform. It's really exciting. You should try it sometime."
Er Ya was dumbfounded; it was utterly unbearable to hear. Wait a minute, "Who is He Yunfan? Where did he get his uniform? Is he a policeman too?"
"Don't I have a villa near the school?" Zhang Ran reminded her, "He used to be a security guard, then he became my cook, slept with me, and now he's an actor."
Er Ya: "...I remember now, you guys have a lot of fun behind the scenes."
