"Why is he not answering his phone?" Su Qingyu shook her head; she knew Ye Shikai very well—if he really had to go to the hospital, he would at least answer his phone.
"Sister-in-law, Boss is in a hurry right now, but please rest assured, he will definitely co back," Ghost said indifferently.
"Alright, I’ll wait for him here," persuaded by others, Su Qingyu eventually stayed backstage.
As soon as Ghost stepped out of the backstage door, he saw a woman approaching—upon closer inspection, it was Princess Anna.
"Princess Anna, please return to your seat at the banquet and rest for now," Ghost said indifferently. There was an ergency, and he didn’t have ti for pleasantries.
"Is there so kind of problem? Where is Hades?" Princess Anna was extrely intelligent. Ghost’s words earlier might have deceived the businessn from Yanjing, but Anna knew Ye Shikai inside out—if nothing urgent had happened, at least he would have shown up.
"Boss has so urgent matters to attend to; he will be back in a while," Ghost’s eyes flickered as he replied softly.
"I understand not letting Miss Su know, but do I also have to be kept in the dark?" Anna stepped forward, blocking Ghost, who was about to leave, seemingly determined to get to the bottom of things.
"Alright then, I’ll tell you the truth; Boss won’t be able to return for quite so ti."
"What’s going on?" Anna asked eagerly.
"Soone very important to Boss... has been kidnapped, and they are demanding he goes to rescue them now," Ghost finally revealed the reality, though he did not ntion Luo Shiqi’s na.
"What? How could Hades do this, leaving Miss Su alone here, escaping from the wedding," Anna was shocked after hearing this, her first reaction being that Ye Shikai’s behavior was absurd.
"Princess Anna, you know our Boss; the person kidnapped is very important to him. Even if he has a montous event at hand, he has to set it aside," Ghost explained helplessly.
"Have you thought about how others would feel? If soone leaks out that the groom fled the wedding ceremony, leaving the bride alone, can you guess what others would think?" Anna complained a bit, "Do you think they’ll believe that explanation?"
"They will only think that Hades has fled the wedding; what then should Miss Su do?" Indeed, those in the know couldn’t help but complain about Ye Shikai, not to ntion the guests, who were in the dark—surely they would think that Ye Shikai was fleeing the wedding, leaving Su Qingyu to appear as an abandoned widow.
In the end, the one most hurt was still Su Qingyu.
"So, I’m trying to stabilize the situation for now. As soon as Boss rescues the person, he will hurry back."
"Are you certain he will be able to return?" Anna was skeptical; rescuing soone wasn’t like going to have a al, deciding to return whenever one wanted to. What if the other party dragged things out in stalemate, was she expected to keep the guests waiting all day?
"I’m not sure," Ghost uttered these three words after a long pause.
"Sigh, forget it. Let Hades return as soon as possible. I’ll help you steady things over here with the guests," Anna waved her hand and said lightly.
"Thank you, Princess."
"Do you know who the kidnapper is?" Anna asked curiously.
"I don’t know; we still have no clues. It could be a man nad Boss Xing, or Zeus, or perhaps it’s that group of guests over there," Ghost said, casting a cold glance towards Wang Qian, who was sipping red wine in the distance.
"What, Zeus has co to Yanjing too?"
...
To save ti, Ye Shikai and Demoness Soul Destroyer boarded a single-person glider and flew towards their destination. Ye Shikai felt uneasy—one part was due to Luo Shiqi’s kidnapping, worrying about her safety; the other part was how Su Qingyu was doing, she must have already hated him thoroughly.
I’m sorry, Qingyu, I’ve let you down again.
Right now, only by rescuing Luo Shiqi as soon as possible, can all this be rectified, but would the other side really let Ye Shikai rescue her easily?
"Boss, we’re about to reach our destination, it’s ti to land," Soul Destroyer indicated a house below and said. This was the first ti Ye Shikai had operated this glider—the landing was almost a crash, but for a cultivator, this wasn’t really an issue.
"Boss, Miss Luo should be inside this place, there’s no mistake," the three crouched in the bushes and surveyed the vicinity.
"You two stay outside; I’ll go and rescue her by myself," Ye Shikai took off his jacket and disappeared from the spot in a swift step.
"Boss is too impulsive. What if it’s a trap?" Soul Destroyer wanted to follow but was stopped by Demoness.
"There’s no choice, they only allow Boss to go in alone. If we rashly enter, they will harm Miss Luo. Let’s wait outside; I think Hidden Guard’s support should arrive soon."
...
Crown Hotel, the banquet hall.
"Ladies and gentlen, hello." At this ti, Anna, in a splendid princess dress, slowly walked onto the stage.
"My na is Anna, and I am a friend of Mr. Ye and Miss Su. I am also honored to have been invited to their wedding," all eyes focused on Anna—as expected of the western goddess of smiles, each gesture exuded the temperant of nobility.
"My dear friend is getting married, and here, I’d like to humbly present you with a song about love," as Anna’s words ended, the audience was abuzz with discussion. It was shocking enough to have a royal family mber attending the wedding, and having a princess sing a song, was even more inconceivable. Subsequently, applause broke out from below the stage; regardless of anything else, with a princess singing, no one dared show any complaint no matter how long the wait.
Anna perford a classic English song. Despite being a pampered princess, her singing skills were solid, with high notes sung effortlessly.
"How about that? You’re not jealous, are you?" Below, Wang Kai teased Ji Qian, who looked gloomy.
"No, he must have run into trouble," Ji Qian glanced and said coldly.
"He, you an Old Ye?" Wang Kai inquired.
"Yes, otherwise the wedding couldn’t have been delayed until now," Ji Qian said flatly, "go find Ghost for , I want to have a word with him."
"Lord Moon God, Lord War God, I have arrived," at this mont, Ghost appeared from sowhere and approached them from behind.
"Has sothing happened?" they asked.
"I was just about to inform you. Please co with ," Ghost glanced briefly at the other guests and, bending down, spoke softly.
