Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 102: Rotting in Prison

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Rotting in Prison

He saw her squatting in front of a patch of corpse pieces, her body slightly trembling. He took out a tissue and walked over, seemingly to offer her a tissue to wipe her tears, but in reality, he wanted to see her embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, when the young girl turned around and saw the tissue he was offering, her hand holding the corpse pieces paused, "Captain Lu didn’t bring a evidence bag, you want to use tissue paper to pack the samples?"

The young girl’s expression was calm, her eyes tranquil like water. In such a bloody scene, she was like a flower blooming in hell, lessening the gloomy atmosphere there.

The most impressive thing for him was the time the young girl went against public opinion, reopening an already closed case, and eventually, relying on her professional skills, found conclusive evidence and re-identified the murderer.

"Uphold the law, steadfast in justice"

She had never forgotten the oath she took when she joined the police force, when she became a people’s policeman.

When did he start liking her? Perhaps it was the moment she turned her head amidst the blood, perhaps it was when she handed him the milk tea, perhaps it was her first day at the police station.

She said, "I am the new forensic doctor, my name is Meng Tian!"

He thought he had hidden his feelings for her well, but they were all criminal police, each with sharp eyes. Which of his colleagues didn’t know that Captain Gu liked Forensic Doctor Meng?

And she, probably knew as well!

"Our Captain Gu is always like this, don’t mind it, groom," Director Lu mediated from the side, "Normally he has a stern face, just to scare the criminals, hope it didn’t scare the groom."

Tang Jingyao smiled indifferently, "I’ve long heard of Captain Gu’s great reputation, you are a legend in the Ao City police world. We, the protected citizens, should salute you first."

Finally, Gu Changchen moved his gaze away from Meng Tian’s face, "Salute to both of you, wish... a happy marriage."

The last few words, when he said them, his voice trembled.

The girl he had always liked, the girl whose back he had watched silently, the girl he had dreamed of holding hands with countless times, had suddenly become someone else’s wife.

Gu Changchen tilted his head and drank the beverage in his cup, letting the teardrops roll back into his eyes.

Iron-blooded men shouldn’t shed tears.

On a joyous day, he should be wishing them well, shouldn’t he?

After the couple left, Director Lu patted Gu Changchen heavily on the shoulder, "Xiao Gu, do you want a couple of days off?"

Take a break for two days, adjust your mood well.

The eyes of everyone around the table were filled with sympathy and pity.

Everyone unanimously thought that Forensic Doctor Meng and Captain Gu would end up together.

However, Forensic Doctor Meng turned out to be the daughter of the prestigious Meng Family, and her marriage into the wealthy Tang Family was within reason.

A match of equal social status, talents, and looks.

"No need," Gu Changchen shook his head, "I, like everyone else, hope that Forensic Doctor Meng finds happiness."

Just to see you happy from afar.

"Does Captain Gu really think so?" Zhao Wenzhong from the Technical Identification Section looked deeply towards the couple, "I always feel that Tang is not simple, and Forensic Doctor Meng doesn’t seem happy either."

Listening to these words, Gu Changchen’s muddled mind started to clear up again.

He had seen Meng Tian’s smile—clean and clear like sunshine warming the heart and as crisp as silver bells. When she laughed, there was a special infectiousness that made you unconsciously smile along with her.

But during the toast just now, although she was smiling, the smile wasn’t a happy one.

"There’s nothing strange about this," Xiao Liu, Meng Tian’s forensic assistant, said. "My master is a rich girl; in families like theirs, marriages are often for business alliances. It doesn’t matter if there’s love or not, as long as the marriage can stabilize both families’ business standings."

Gu Changchen asked, "Xiao Liu, does your master often mention this Mr. Tang?"

"Never," Xiao Liu seemed to recall something. "Right, I have seen this Mr. Tang. Do you remember the Jiang Ying case?"

"It was your master who overturned that case." Of course everyone knows that case; Meng Tian even received an award for it.

"Mr. Tang once came to the forensic office to find my master. I overheard him saying, ’She is my fiancée, can you please show some mercy for the sake of the past relationship between our families?’ Then they started arguing. By the time I got there, Mr. Tang was slamming the door as he left, even saying, ’You will pay the price.’"

Gu Changchen abruptly stood up from his seat, "Director Lu, I need to make a trip back to the station."

Gu Changchen vaguely remembered, this Tang Jingyao must be involved in the Jiang Ying case.

After the engagement party, both families sat together.

The four elders, seeing the tightly clasped hands of the newly engaged couple across from them, all revealed satisfied smiles.

Meng Tian scoffed internally—what kind of act is this Tang Jingyao pulling as if he were a pro!

"This is the engagement gift I am giving you," Mr. Tang placed a large red property deed in front of them, "A villa in Zhou Shan, already furnished, you can move in today."

Meng Tian remembered Ye Yan mentioning that Fu Xingzhou, when not living in this current flat, resided in Zhou Shan.

In that sense, she and Ye Yan would still be neighbors.

"Now that you have registered and held the engagement party, naturally you can’t live apart anymore. Otherwise, outsiders might still think it’s a business marriage," Mrs. Tang said with a kind smile, "It’s rare for both children to have grown up together since childhood, and now to become husband and wife, it’s truly a destiny written in the stars."

"Yes," Mrs. Meng added from the side. "I believe Ah Yao is serious this time and won’t be so rash anymore."

The couple from the Tang Family suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

Everybody in the circle knew that Tang Jingyao had been engaged before, but nobody talked about why it never resulted in marriage.

"Mother-in-law, Ah Yao was immature before, but now he has completely come to his senses, knowing that his favorite is still Tiantian," Mrs. Tang hastily covered for Tang Jingyao, "Don’t worry, from now on, I’ll keep an eye on him. Marrying Tiantian into the Tang family, she will be my daughter, and old Tang and I will definitely protect her."

"Yes, to show our sincerity, I am willing to gift Tiantian three percent of the Tang Family’s shares," Mr. Tang also chimed in to support.

Though it was only three percent, it was still the Tang Family’s shares, so even if Meng Tian did nothing in the future, she could live comfortably off those shares.

The Tang couple displayed their sincerity amply, so the Meng Family did not pursue further the matter of Tang Jingyao’s previous engagement.

Only the party involved kept his head down, his eyes cold, and the hand holding Meng Tian’s was almost crushing her fingers.

He had exhausted all methods before to get his parents to agree to his and Jiang Ying’s marriage.

He thought everything was set, but then Jiang Ying turned out to be a murderer.

Despite his parents’ indulgence, they would never allow him to marry a murderer. Thus, from the moment Jiang Ying was taken away by police, she could no longer marry into the Tang family.

Since he could no longer marry Jiang Ying, he might as well give this spot to Meng Tian; she sent Jiang Ying to jail, and he was merely changing tactics to make her end up in the same deep waters.
