But in the end, he couldn't avoid it.
By then, Gu Licheng and the others had finished seeing off the guests and returned.
Chu Zhaoyang and Gu Nian had already secretly told the two elders and Gu Licheng about the situation earlier.
Since it hadn't posed any danger to them, they weren't afraid of alarming the elders.
And after the previous incident where Chu Zhaoyang was taken to the police station, they didn't dare hide things from the elders easily anymore.
"How did the questioning go?" Gu Licheng asked as soon as he entered.
Chu He had been recording the interrogation all along, including the questioning he conducted before Chu Zhaoyang arrived.
So now, Chu He directly played the recording for everyone to hear, including the parts Chu Zhaoyang hadn't heard before.
After listening, Gu Licheng said, "I'll take him to the police station for further interrogation. You two should focus on your wedding and honeymoon, don't waste time on this."
Chu Zhaoyang agreed. It was clear that this man was just a minor player.
Nothing significant could be obtained from him.
The key now was to see if they could find his superior from the clues provided by Li Zhaohui.
According to Li Zhaohui, the letter suddenly appeared in his locker, meaning someone must have delivered it personally.
The task now was to see if they could identify that person.
However, the hierarchical structure of the Organization R was extremely complex, and no one had high hopes.
"The Organization R's influence has weakened domestically, and it won't recover quickly. You'll be safe going abroad for your honeymoon," Gu Licheng said.
Given the situation, staying at the resort seemed uncertain in terms of safety.
But they had promised Little Millet Cake to spend time here with him.
So, they had the clan thoroughly search the resort.
After confirming everything was safe, the Chu family, along with the Gu family, stayed behind.
Chu Zhaoyang had also brought Mu Lan Shu's parents from Yucheng to attend the wedding.
Now, they had returned to their villa to rest.
***
After a busy day, Chu Zhaoyang and Gu Nian, as the main couple, were more exhausted than everyone else.
Even though Qi Chengzhi and the others were also at the resort, they didn't disturb them.
Although they had been married for over half a year, the wedding held a different significance, and no one wanted to be a third wheel.
Gu Nian relaxed in the massage bathtub provided in the villa, enjoying a soothing soak.
Chu Zhaoyang surprisingly didn't insist on joining her this time.
But instead of feeling relieved, Gu Nian felt more nervous.
It was clear that Chu Zhaoyang was allowing her to relax and recharge before a night of passionate activity.
Gu Nian felt her scalp tingle and immense pressure.
Regretting how she had teased Chu Zhaoyang excessively during the day, she realized she had only thought about how he couldn't do anything to her then, forgetting about the night.
That man never let things slide. Whatever frustration he endured during the day would be settled at night.
Seeing no way out, Gu Nian decided to lie on the massage chair, trying to relax, almost as if cramming for an exam.
But the chair's comfort soon made her drowsy, and she began to doze off.
When Chu Zhaoyang came out and saw her like that, he couldn't help but laugh angrily.
He had been waiting to get back at her for the trouble she caused during the day, but here she was, sleeping soundly on their wedding night.
Chu Zhaoyang strode over, unceremoniously kissed her lips, waking Gu Nian from her slumber.
Opening her eyes, she found Chu Zhaoyang hadn't moved away.
With her hands on his shoulders, she saw the dangerous look in his eyes.
Gu Nian forced a smile and asked, "Aren't you tired?"
"Heh," Chu Zhaoyang snorted, knowing her tricks too well. "Not at all, I've been saving my energy."
"You drank quite a bit at noon," Gu Nian tried to delay.
"I still had the clarity to handle Li Zhaohui's matter, so I didn't drink much," Chu Zhaoyang countered.
Gu Nian was speechless.
She racked her brain but couldn't think of any other way to delay.
Seeing his raised eyebrow, Chu Zhaoyang said, "You can't escape, so stop struggling."
Gu Nian was speechless again.
The way he said it made him sound like a hooligan.
Muttering under her breath, she wondered if she should shout "Help!" as if he were a bandit.
Chu Zhaoyang heard her muttering and, loosening his bathrobe belt, adopted a rogue stance, "Go ahead and scream, even if you shout yourself hoarse, no one will come to save you."
Seeing his usually stoic face say such words felt absurd, lacking any real menace.
Gu Nian was speechless again.
Should she humor him by pretending to scream?
Chu Zhaoyang grabbed the belt, intending to tie her hands when suddenly, Little Millet Cake's voice came from outside, "Daddy, Mommy!"
Gu Nian, as if seeing her savior, quickly shouted, "Mommy's here!"
Chu Zhaoyang was speechless.
Gu Nian looked back at him, smiling sweetly, "Little Millet Cake is calling us."
"The elders will take him away in a moment," Chu Zhaoyang replied, clearly not intending to open the door.
"Daddy, Mommy, open the door!" Little Millet Cake knocked on the door.
"Don't leave him outside, it's pitiful," Gu Nian said.
Chu Zhaoyang pursed his lips but still didn't move to open the door.
