Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 1143: 289: Found Zuo Ling_5

Downstairs, Shangguan Xi saw Grandpa Zheng, Grandma Zheng, and Grandma Shangguan, but Ni Cuihua and Ni Yan were nowhere to be found, even Shangguan Dehui had disappeared.

This was just too strange!

Before Shangguan Xi could react, Wu Chenjun shoved her into the back seat of the car.

Elsewhere, Ni Cuihua sat in the back seat of the police car, glancing at her wristwatch. Her face suddenly changed. It was past the auspicious hour, and it was almost time for Shangguan Xi to take her vows at the church.

That part of the ceremony, where the father escorts the daughter, simply could not go ahead without Shangguan Dehui.

Without Shangguan Dehui as the father, how could the ceremony proceed?

“Dehui, you must take a taxi to the church right now, there’s still time,” she urged.

Shangguan Dehui said, “At this hour, how could I be in the mood to go to the church.”

Ni Cuihua looked at Shangguan Dehui seriously and said, “Dehui, for Xiaoxi, you must go! At this moment, Xiaoxi cannot be without you! After you’ve taken the vows, then come back here. We still haven’t found Zuo Ling; you staying here is just a waste of time.”

“What if Zuo Ling is found right away?” Shangguan Dehui retorted.

Ni Cuihua said, “If we do find Zuo Ling, the police will be there! You won’t be much help. Please get out of the car now! Don’t disappoint Xiaoxi, and don’t delay any longer. After the vows, hurry back here! We can keep in touch with our pagers!”

With that, Ni Cuihua raised her voice towards the police officer in front, “Officer, please stop the car, it’s my eldest daughter’s wedding day, and my spouse needs to get to the church immediately!”

“Okay.”

After the car stopped, Shangguan Dehui was still reluctant to get out, because Little Ni Yun needed him more than Shangguan Xi did.

Ni Cuihua pushed him out of the car, “Dehui, go quickly and come back soon! Don’t disappoint me!”

After the words fell, Ni Cuihua quickly closed the car door.

Watching the police car drive away, Shangguan Dehui sighed helplessly, and promptly hailed a taxi. After getting in, he handed the driver twenty yuan, “Master, I need to get to the Sacred Heart Cathedral at 58 South Street, can you please drive as fast as possible!”

With money, things become easier, especially since it was twenty yuan. The driver pressed the accelerator, “Alright! Please fasten your seatbelt!”

The journey was smooth, and it took only about ten minutes to get to the cathedral.

Upon seeing Shangguan Dehui, Shangguan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, “Dad, why did you come alone, where’s Mom and Yangyang?”

Shangguan Dehui replied, “They are at home entertaining the guests.”

Shangguan Xi said in confusion, “But I didn’t see them at home just now.”

Shangguan Dehui smiled and said, “There are so many guests at home, it’s normal for you to get confused. Where else would they be if not at home? By the way, has the ceremony not started yet?”

Shangguan Xi turned to look at the wall clock and replied, “It seems the priest was delayed by something, the ceremony can start in five minutes.”

“Good,” Shangguan Dehui said with a sense of urgency, yet he had to maintain his composure on the surface.

Shangguan Xi went on, “Aren’t Mom and Yangyang coming to the ceremony?” Intuition told Shangguan Xi that something very abnormal was happening.

“The house is too busy,” Shangguan Dehui answered, “Xiaoxi, you don’t blame them, do you?”

Shangguan Xi shook her head, “Dad, tell me, has something happened at home?”

Shangguan Dehui just laughed, “You child, what nonsense are you talking about on such a happy day? What could possibly go wrong at home?”

Just then, the priest arrived, and they started preparing for the vows.

Shangguan Dehui took Shangguan Xi’s hand, “Let’s go, Xiaoxi.”

The chimes of the cathedral rang, and everything became solemn and serious. Looking at all the faces of her relatives below, Shangguan Xi slowly steadied her heart.

After the vows were over, Shangguan Dehui immediately left.

Here, Zuo Ling’s location had been confirmed.

By the time Shangguan Dehui arrived, Ni Yan, Mo Qishen, Ni Cuihua, and others were already there.

At a dilapidated building, Zuo Ling was holding Little Ni Yun hostage with one hand and clutching a sharp dagger with the other, capable of inflicting harm at any moment.

The police were negotiating with Zuo Ling, whose emotions were extremely agitated. Little Ni Yun was also very scared, crying for her sister and mother.

Zuo Ling himself did not expect the situation to unravel this way; he originally just wanted to kill Little Ni Yun to vent his anger, and he hadn’t anticipated the police getting involved.
