"Wait for me a moment, I'll go get the equipment." Gu Ran told the two to wait while he went to the nearest restroom, summoned a bunch of equipment with a talisman, and packed it into a prepared golf ball bag.
Five minutes later, he met up with the two men, carrying three large bags.
"Right now, we're university students visiting the area. We're from the university's photography club and we love taking pictures of the local customs and culture around the world. We heard there was a wedding of the century here, so we came to join in the fun."
As he spoke, Gu Ran took out a Canon professional video camera from his bag and handed it to Victoria.
This camera is the kind used by television stations. It supports multiple zooms, produces very high-definition images, and also has an infrared function. He handed the instruction manual to Victoria so she could master it as soon as possible.
Chapter 592 Utilizing the Secret Party's Correct Stance
Victoria nodded and immediately began reading the instruction manual to familiarize herself with the camera's functions.
She has good learning abilities and is very diligent, qualities that a noble mixed-race person should possess.
As for Isabel, she took the golf bag, touched it, and immediately knew what was inside from the feel of it.
"I told you to take it out, and then take it out again, understand?" Gu Ran instructed.
“Received,” Isabel replied earnestly.
After explaining the task, Gu Ran took out a silicone human skin mask from his backpack, put it on, and transformed into another ordinary man:
"I need to conceal my identity. You can only call me 'Chairman,' not by my name. Even whispering is not allowed, as some mixed-race individuals have exceptionally good hearing."
"Yes!"
"Roger that!"
The two women became tense at this moment because they heard Gu Ran mention mixed-race people.
"President, could you explain the mission?" Isabel asked.
"I received intelligence that one of the parties involved in the Kunshan wedding of the century is actually a hybrid who has broken through the critical bloodline limit. Moreover, this hybrid's family is an ally of the dragons and has completely sided with them, having a deep cooperation with them. In other words, they are going to betray humanity!"
Upon hearing the news, the two were immediately invigorated.
Isabel said, "Are they half-bloods who side with the dragons? Is there any evidence?"
Victoria also looked at Gu Ran.
Gu Ran is accused of two things: breaking the critical blood limit and betraying humanity. If both accusations are proven true, he can be killed on the spot according to the "Abraham Bloodline Pact".
"There is no conclusive evidence yet, which is why I gave you the camera. Once I have the evidence, I will take action and eliminate the traitors in the human ranks."
Gu Ran looked at the two girls, both of whom had resolute and serious expressions on their faces.
“President, I will cooperate with your work.” Isabel said solemnly, “We stand on the side of humanity. Anyone who cannot restrain evil becomes our enemy, and our swords will be pointed at those who have fallen into the abyss.”
Upon hearing this, Victoria clenched her right fist and placed it over her heart, repeating Isabel's words: "Our swords will be pointed at those who have fallen into the abyss."
"Very good, as expected of the elites of an ancient family." Gu Ran smiled. "Let's go, the show should begin."
Gu Ran's previous letter to the principal concerned the Solomon Temple Society. He told Angers that he wanted to investigate the Solomon Temple Society and needed two people to cooperate with him.
Upon seeing Isabelle and Victoria's student files, Angers immediately understood Gu Ran's intention and issued the order.
Both of these individuals come from ancient mixed-race families and understand the importance of upholding their beliefs. Their families stand on the side of humans and have an irreconcilable blood feud with the dragons. They have fought against the dragons for generations, and countless of their ancestors have died at the hands of dragons. Of course, their achievements in slaying dragons are also remarkable.
These families and the dragon race are sworn enemies.
Gu Ran chose them because of this.
Moreover, the Secret Party's "political correctness" means standing on the side of humanity and fighting the dragons to the death. If they were to take photos of the evidence and submit them, the Board of Trustees would probably have to consider the value of this evidence and would no longer dare to protect the Solomon Temple.
Otherwise, the board of directors would face the wrath of the ancient family, which could even lead to a split within the secret society.
At that time, Gu Ran, in his capacity as president of the Lionheart Society, will write a letter to add fuel to the fire, and bring up the old grievances, such as the previous investigation of Chu Zihang by the school board regarding bloodline, to tell the school board not to apply double standards.
Under such pressure, it is estimated that the Board of Trustees may even issue an order to eradicate the Solomon Temple.
With this kind of open and honest approach, let's see how you'll cover for us now.
*……*……*
Five o'clock in the afternoon, at the lakeside pier.
The parking lot at the pier was packed with luxury cars today, including countless top-of-the-line vehicles like Bentleys and Rolls-Royces. There were also many well-dressed celebrities queuing up to take a boat to the island in the middle of the lake for the so-called 'wedding of the century'.
Gu Ran and the other two had no idea what this wedding of the century was all about, but seeing so many prominent people, as well as many film and television stars and TV hosts dressed up in their finest attire, they could tell that this wedding was no ordinary event.
To maintain order, a special security team was hired to set up a cordon around the pier, keeping the onlookers out. However, the crowds were still very enthusiastic, creating a massive spectacle that was even more lively than the parade at Disneyland.
Especially when celebrities appear, many people raise their phones to take pictures, afraid of missing anything.
Among the welcoming crowd at the pier, Gu Ran spotted an old acquaintance, Susanna. She wore a navy blue dress with pure white high heels, and her flaxen hair was styled in an updo, making her look exceptionally radiant. Even the two female celebrities who passed by were not as dazzling as her.
She was checking whether the guests had invitations. Those with invitations were invited in, while those who sneaked in without invitations were turned away.
Some reporters tried to sneak in to cover the grand wedding, but Susanna ruthlessly chased them away.
If Susanna is there, then Susanna's boss, Zhao Xuzhen, must also be there.
"President, they all need invitations to get in, what should we do if we don't have one?" Victoria asked quietly from the side.
"Don't rush, wait, someone will take us in," Gu Ran said in a low voice.
Sure enough, after a while, a convoy drove up in a grand procession. The lead car honked its horn as it drove into the parking lot, and then a large group of people opened the car doors in unison, got out, and slammed the doors shut with a loud 'bang'.
The onlookers were immediately stunned by the sheer number of people.
"Let's go, join them." Gu Ran openly followed at the back of the group, and Victoria and Isabel quickly caught up.
The group was so large that they didn't even notice the two women and one man following at the back.
However, the group was stopped outside the cordon because none of them had invitations.
At the head of the group was an elderly man wearing a crew-neck T-shirt, shorts, and a pair of old Beijing cloth shoes.
He crossed the cordon and walked to the dock, staring at Susanna as if she were a piece of pork at a market.
Susanna was angered by the old man's gaze, but with many guests around, she couldn't lash out.
At that moment, another young man crossed the cordon and stood between the old man and Susanna.
The old man looked Susanna up and down again, then asked the young man, "Xiao Bai, is this the woman who came to your door naked and you didn't sleep with her? You have self-control! She's good enough for our Wanzhi!"
The young man's name was Bai Shanglu. He didn't know how to start a conversation. He secretly glanced at Susanna, who was furious.
The old man continued to question Susanna: "My daughter is getting married tonight, and this son-in-law, who I don't know where he came from, didn't even give this old man an invitation. Do you think that makes sense?"
Susanna suppressed her anger: "You are the bride's father, so of course you can come, but the groom's ex-husband... we are sorry, we cannot accommodate him."
As she spoke, she glanced at Bai Shanglu.
The old man sneered, "What? Can't I bring one more person? You dare not give me, David Chiang, face? Go ask around in Kunshan, who dares not give me, David Chiang, face!"
"Damn you, you filthy bitch! How dare you stop me? You shameless piece of trash!" Old Master Jiang David suddenly pulled out a baton from behind him and smashed it down on Susanna's head.
Susanna reacted quickly. She turned around and, as she did so, pulled out a baton from the guard next to her and began baton-to-battling with Grandpa Jiang.
The two suddenly started fighting, shocking everyone present. A guard wanted to come to their aid, but Susanna stopped him with a look.
It seems she needs to be very careful with this bride's father.
Although David Chiang lacked any particular strategy, he was incredibly tenacious, and Susanna only dared to block and not retaliate, so the old man dominated her on the field.
"You, you think you can replace my daughter and be my son-in-law? A female supporting character? I spit on you, you stinking slut!" David Chiang cursed as he hit her, spewing out all sorts of vulgarities that wouldn't pass censorship and profanities involving genitalia.
Susanna grew increasingly annoyed as she listened, but she remained calm.
Bai Shanglu, standing to the side, was at a loss. When the two started fighting, it was just like a martial arts movie. The onlookers behind the cordon applauded and cheered!
The two fought on the dock, which was made of wood. After being hit with sticks, wood chips flew everywhere, which shows how strong they were.
David Chiang used his thrusting leg technique. His legwork was not really systematic, but it was very strong and still destructive. With one push, he could break the supporting pillar of the wooden dock.
"Are these two, a man and a woman, mixed-race? Fighting in broad daylight, aren't they afraid of causing strange rumors?" Victoria was a little angry. The principle of the Secret Party was to suppress everything related to the dragon race and not allow anything to be leaked.
"Don't worry, the audience will only see them as martial arts masters, they won't have any other thoughts," Gu Ran comforted them.
As the two fought, the wooden dock could not withstand their destruction. After two of the load-bearing pillars broke, it collapsed with a crash.
It seemed that this was the moment Jiang Dawei had been waiting for. He grabbed Bai Shanglu as the dock collapsed, then leaped up and landed on a motorboat.
It turns out that Grandpa Jiang's goal had always been this boat; once he got the boat, he could go to the center of the lake to attend the wedding.
Susanna kicked off her high heels the moment the dock collapsed, stepped barefoot onto the logs in the water, and used the buoyancy to quickly run to the safety of the shore.
David Chiang used a baton to knock both of the speedboat's attendants into the water, then threw the bent baton into the water as well, preparing to set sail: "The wedding of the century is free to watch, those who want to watch, get on board!"
Upon hearing this, the people who came with David Chiang suddenly seemed to receive a signal and rushed across the cordon, seemingly wanting to board the ship.
Chapter 593: Help out!
The crowd surged through the cordon, and the security guards initially didn't want to stop them. After all, it was just a job, right? They could just go through the motions; why risk their lives?
But then, the security guards had to exert all their strength to stop these people and prevent them from rushing over.
Because the security guards had nowhere to retreat, with Yangcheng Lake right behind them, if they retreated any further they would have to go into the water!
"go!"
Gu Ran, holding Victoria and Isabel's hands respectively, suddenly leaped up, carrying the two of them across the cordon and rushing towards the steamboat, jumping directly from the shore onto the boat.
He carried the two girls alone, using the Light and Heavy Rock Technique to lighten their weight, and jumped directly onto the motorboat.
Isabel and Victoria felt as light as swallows the moment they jumped with Gu Ran, like plastic bags fluttering in the wind.
"Who are you?" David Chiang and Bai Shanglu stared at Gu Ran and the other two.
"Didn't they say 'The wedding of the century is free to watch, hop on board if you want to see it'? So I got on." Gu Ran scratched his head, looking somewhat innocent.
But wearing a human skin mask, he couldn't make an innocent expression; he just looked rather stiff and a bit simple-minded, and his tone was also simple-minded.
David Chiang laughed heartily: "Good, you've got guts. Just because you dared to jump down, I, David Chiang, will take you to join in the fun."
Bai Shanglu advised from the side, "Old Man Jiang, we're going to cause trouble. Isn't it inappropriate to bring these foreign friends along?"
“What are you afraid of? Zhao Xuzhen is British, and we have foreign friends supporting us.” David Jiang looked at Gu Ran and the other two.
Gu Ran said, "I'm from China."
Victoria replied, "I am English."
