Chapter 1083 I Don't Want to Miss Each Other Again
The magnificent gold-plated logo of Xing Teng Restaurant gleamed in the sunlight, the metallic lettering reflecting a dazzling light, showcasing its nobility and luxury from afar.
Deng Zhouyi led a group of security guards over in neat steps, quickly stopping at the entrance with upright postures and perfect formation.
Teng Zijing walked out of the restaurant, his black suit making him appear even more tall and imposing.
He walked straight to the front of the line, cleared his throat, and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Good morning, everyone."
Everyone responded in unison, "Greetings, Master Jing!"
"Attention, everyone!" Teng Zijing stopped, his gaze sweeping over each person with an undeniable air of authority.
"Starting today, a Level 1 emergency response plan will be implemented in the area within a one-kilometer radius of Xingteng Restaurant."
The overall situation within a radius of one hundred miles must be kept under control throughout the entire process, and no negligence is allowed.
He paused, then further clarified the instructions: "All positions must strictly adhere to the three-dimensional deployment standards:"
The ground team is responsible for real-time monitoring of personnel movement within the enclosed area, with a focus on identifying individuals without clear identification or exhibiting abnormal behavior.
The aerial coordination team works with the monitoring center to ensure that there are no blind spots in the coverage area and submits a dynamic image retrospective report every 15 minutes.
The emergency response team maintains a 30-second response time, is equipped with encrypted emergency communication equipment, and is ready to handle any emergencies at any time.
"The core objective of this mission is to ensure the safety of Presidents Jiang and Mu's wedding."
Teng Zijing's voice suddenly became more forceful, "The wedding will be held here, a grand affair, with important foreign guests in attendance—"
These guests are distinguished individuals with considerable international influence. Their accompanying personnel information has been synchronized to various terminals and requires secondary verification against the feature database.
Our security work must be foolproof, requiring us to devote utmost effort to special protection and focused patrols.
"All security personnel shall wear standard duty equipment, maintain silent communication, and are prohibited from using speakerphone channels except in emergencies."
His sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, seemed to pierce through everything around him. "Remember the three 'zero tolerance' principles":
Zero tolerance for unauthorized aircraft entering the controlled airspace; zero tolerance for lingering within 100 meters of the core area; zero tolerance for the leakage of classified information.
"During the mission, a joint responsibility system will be implemented, with each group leader submitting a job situation report every hour to ensure that the entire process is controllable and traceable."
Teng Zijing's gaze swept across the queue again, "Everyone, be on your best!"
Stay at your post; if anything goes wrong, no one can afford to take responsibility.
"Now, deploy according to the established plan!" The sunlight fell on his cold, hard profile, adding to his intimidating presence.
Deng Zhouyi stood aside and nodded slightly, indicating that everyone should remember his instructions. The security guards in the team all looked solemn and were already on high alert.
At that time, Jiang Chengyu was wearing a white suit with a red silk shirt underneath.
His collar was tied with an exquisite white bow tie, which made his already fair face look even more gentle and elegant.
As soon as he stepped out of Xingteng Restaurant, he saw Teng Zijing giving instructions to the security personnel ahead, so he strode straight toward them.
"Master Jing".
Teng Zijing turned around at the sound and saw that Jiang Chengyu looked somewhat anxious.
He turned around and asked, "President Jiang, why are you in such a hurry? Is something the matter?"
"Brother Jing, have you sent a car to pick us up from the airport?" Jiang Chengyu asked hurriedly, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.
“It’s all been arranged long ago.” Teng Zijing looked at him with a confident gaze. “You can rest assured about what I’m doing.”
At this moment, Deng Zhouyi gave a deep order from behind: "Everyone disperse and immediately follow Master Jing's instructions."
As soon as he finished speaking, the security guards quickly and orderly dispersed and went to their respective posts.
The originally orderly queue instantly blended into the controlled area around the restaurant, their movements swift and decisive.
Mu Xiaoji, leaning on his crutches, also hurriedly came out from inside, his eyes darting around the doorway.
Seeing this, Teng Zijing quickly said, "Oh, President Mu is out too. It seems your foreign friend's identity is indeed extraordinary. Let's go and see him. He's having quite a bit of trouble walking."
Jiang Chengyu turned to look at Mu Xiaoji, who was looking around anxiously at the hotel entrance, and quickly went to greet her, his tone carrying a hint of reproach:
"Xiao Ji, why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to wait inside? You have trouble moving around, yet you still came out."
"I was just worried something might go wrong," Mu Xiaoji said, taking a few steps forward and looking at the bustling street.
"We haven't seen Karina for so long, but she never hesitated to help us when we needed it before."
They've come all this way to attend our wedding; if we don't show them some sincerity, we'll disappoint them.
Seeing that he came out without a coat, Jiang Chengyu quickly took off his own suit jacket and draped it over him, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Why aren't you wearing a jacket? The sun is shining today, but it's windy outside. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"I'm fine, you're just worrying unnecessarily." Mu Xiaoji looked up at him, her tone slightly coquettish.
Just then, the car that was supposed to pick them up came to a smooth stop in front of the hotel.
Jiang Chengyu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, only to see the doorman open the back door of the car.
Andreas got out of the car first, then turned around and helped an elderly man—Cedric Winston.
Jiang Chengyu abruptly stopped in his tracks, staring at Cedric, and felt that he looked much older than he remembered.
The white hair at his temples was thicker, and his back was slightly hunched. An indescribable sadness welled up in his heart.
Cedric looked up and saw Jiang Chengyu, paused for a moment, then a loving smile bloomed on his face, his voice hoarse with the huskiness of years.
He opened his arms wide and shouted in English, "Oh, dear Kate, we've finally met!" Before he finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes.
Jiang Chengyu strode up to Cedric and, as if seeing a close relative, threw himself into his arms, the two embracing tightly.
“My dear child, I thought you had just passed away peacefully. I never imagined that I would be able to witness your blessing in person. I am so happy.”
Cedric's voice trembled with excitement as he patted Jiang Chengyu's back repeatedly, unable to calm his emotions for a long time.
Jiang Chengyu's tears welled up instantly and streamed down his face uncontrollably.
Andreas gently patted his shoulder and said softly, "Kate, my father is having trouble breathing. Why don't we go inside and talk?"
Jiang Chengyu quickly let go of his hand and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, dear Mr. Cedric, I... I'm just too happy."
Cedric gentlemanly took out his handkerchief and reached out to wipe his tears.
Jiang Chengyu quickly grabbed Cedric's hand holding the handkerchief and said gratefully, "Oh no, dear Mr. Cedric, I can do it myself. How rude of me."
“No, my child, do you know?” Cedric held his hand tightly, looking up into his eyes with a fatherly tenderness.
“I’ve dreamt countless times of you returning to Winston Manor. I so wish you could come back and see me.”
Karina said, "Mu needs you more than I do."
"Kate."
Jiang Chengyu wiped away his tears, turned around upon hearing the voice, and greeted her with a smile: "Alice, it's been a long time."
I haven't had a chance to thank you for your painting in person yet, but I cherish it very much; you painted it so beautifully.
He gently hugged Alice, then turned to another person, "Irene Ruola, welcome, beautiful lady, please come in."
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone called out to him, "Kate."
Karina and Anthony walked over side by side.
Mu Xiaoji, leaning on his cane, stepped forward and gave a cheek kiss to Cedric and Andreas respectively.
Smiling, he gestured for them to come in: "Mr. Cedric, thank you for coming all this way to our wedding. Please come in."
Teng Zijing and Deng Zhouyi watched from afar as Jiang Chengyu welcomed the distinguished guests in a lively scene.
Karina stepped forward and hugged Jiang Chengyu's neck, pressing her cheeks against each other, their intimacy comparable to that of a married couple.
Teng Zijing whispered mischievously to Deng Zhouyi, "Do you think Mu Xiaoji will suddenly give up on preparing for the wedding after seeing Jiang Chengyu hugging this beautiful foreign woman for so long?"
"What does Master Jing think?" Deng Zhouyi raised an eyebrow and threw the question back at him.
A sly glint flashed in Teng Zijing's eyes: "I need to go to the monitoring room and save this video so I can blackmail Jiang Chengyu later."
If he doesn't comply obediently, I'll send the video to Mu Xiaoji and see how he explains himself.
"Wow, bro, when did you become so cunning?" Deng Zhouyi feigned surprise.
“I’ve always been like this,” Teng Zijing raised an eyebrow. “Besides, haven’t you given me plenty of these dirty tricks before?” The two of them bantered back and forth.
Jiang Chengyu released Karina, looked up and saw the person behind her, his cheeks instantly turning red: "Anthony? What are you doing here too?"
Karina released her grip on his neck and turned to look at Anthony. Jiang Chengyu stepped forward and hugged Anthony, patting each other on the back.
“Darling, I thought Karina would be your life partner, but I never expected that you…”
Anthony shrugged, looking incredulous. "This is really... such a surprise!"
“I find it incredible myself.” Jiang Chengyu smiled, his tone serious, “But… I don’t want to miss each other again.”
Karina smiled brightly: "Darling, let me introduce you. This is my fiancé, Mr. Anthony."
Jiang Chengyu's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god! Honey, this is amazing!"
“I want to try,” Karina said nonchalantly. “I don’t want you to feel guilty when you face me.”
“No, darling, I think Mr. Anthony is really outstanding.” Jiang Chengyu was genuinely happy for her. “Believe in yourself, you’ve always had excellent taste.”
"Brother Cheng Yu!" Youyou ran out of the car and rushed towards Jiang Cheng Yu.
Youyou has witnessed the many entanglements between Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji over the years, which has been very distressing. Now, she is thrilled to see the two reconcile.
She rushed forward and threw herself into Jiang Chengyu's arms, hooking her arms around his neck. Jiang Chengyu caught her easily.
She spun it around before putting it on the ground, scolding, "Youyou, you're such a big girl now, why are you still so naughty?"
"No matter how old I am, in Brother Cheng Yu's eyes, I've always been a little princess, haven't I?" Youyou pouted and smiled playfully.
Jiang Chengyu reached out and touched her hair with a look of doting affection.
“Kate.” Clivewell walked over, carrying Lele.
"Kreiwell, Lele... come here, let Uncle hug you." Jiang Chengyu reached out and took the child.
The little guy has blue eyes like Cléwyl, fair skin, and looks like a mixed-race child; he's incredibly cute.
"Come on, everyone, let's go inside. It's windy outside. Let's sit down inside and chat." Jiang Chengyu, holding Lele, invited everyone to walk into the restaurant.
As he passed by Teng Zijing and Deng Zhouyi, he didn't notice the two men's wicked smiles as they plotted to blackmail Jiang Chengyu by teasing him.
