After the engagement ceremony, Lin Wan'er saw that the Ji family had not shown up yet, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious. Then she looked at Ji Xuyan beside her and asked doubtfully:

"Xiao Chen, why haven't your family come yet?"

After hearing this, Ji Xiaochen's face became solemn, and his eyes revealed a hint of sadness and pain.

He replied in a low voice: "Wan'er, I'm so sorry! I'm telling you now, actually...actually my family members have passed away, and I'm alone now!"

When Lin Wan'er heard this, her face was full of astonishment.

She looked at Ji Xiaochen in disbelief and asked in surprise:

"What? How is this possible? Aren't you from the Ji family?"

Ji Xiaochen shook his head, his tone firm and resolute, "No, I have nothing to do with the Ji family."

Lin Wan'er was immediately furious and accused excitedly: "You...you are not...not from the Ji family? Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

Lin Wan'er's face became increasingly gloomy, as if she could not bear such a blow.

Facing Lin Wan'er's anger, Ji Xiaochen just looked at her with an aggrieved and helpless look.

Then he asked angrily, "Wan'er, did you agree to get engaged to me because you mistakenly thought I was a member of the Ji family?"

Lin Wan'er's emotions were completely out of control. She roared hysterically: "What else? Why do you think I like you?"

Before she finished her words, her tears fell like beads from a broken string.

The guests present were shocked by Lin Wan'er's sudden roar and turned their eyes to the newlyweds.

The whole scene suddenly fell into awkward silence, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Lin Wan'er quickly regained her smile and whispered in Ji Xiaochen's ear, "After the engagement party is over, we will cancel the engagement after a while!"

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Ji Xiaochen threatened, "If the engagement is cancelled, I will never return the 100 million yuan your Lin family invested to you!"

"Ji Xiaochen, do you dare?" Lin Wan'er asked through gritted teeth.

"Why shouldn't I? There are profits and losses in investment. It's normal to lose everything, isn't it?"

Ji Xiaochen finally revealed his true face and replied coldly.

"Ji Xiaochen!"

Lin Wan'er lowered her voice and shouted angrily.

Just at this moment, a group of police suddenly rushed in.

"Where is Ji Xiaochen?" the leading policeman shouted loudly.

As soon as Ji Xiaochen saw the police, he turned around and tried to run away.

But he was kicked hard to the ground by Lu Youyou who rushed over.

Seeing this, the police quickly stepped forward and arrested him.

"Ji Xiaochen, you are under arrest! You are not required to speak unless you want to. Everything you say will be recorded by us and may be used as evidence in court."

Cold and serious words came out of the policeman's mouth, and Ji Xiaochen's face turned pale instantly.

Lin Wan'er seemed to sense something was wrong, and rushed forward recklessly, questioning with a look of despair:

"Police comrade, why...why are you arresting him?"

The police looked at Lin Wan'er, a trace of pity and sympathy flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly said:

"Ji Xiaochen's real name is Zhang Dachen. He is actually a member of the Thousand Machines Sect. The members of this organization are almost all over the world. They often disguise themselves as rich kids and specialize in defrauding women of their money. How is it? Have you been deceived by him?"

These words came like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present.

The guests around began to whisper to each other, and discussions arose one after another.

"Didn't he say he was from the Ji family? How could he be a liar?"

"From the looks of it, the Lin family must have been cheated!"

"I wanted to get close to the Ji family, but ended up being scammed. It's really my own fault!"

"Ah! I told you so. The Ji family is a century-old family, and Ji Qinyuan is the richest man. How could he fall for a slut like Lin Wan'er?"

"I came to this engagement party because of the Ji family. After all this time, I found out that he is a fraudster!"

"Me too! Even though I don't quite believe it, I'm still very curious! Now, haha... never mind, let's just treat it as a free show!"

“Hahaha…The Lin family is suffering a huge loss right now!”

"What do you call this? Stealing a chicken but losing the rice?"

"Hahaha, big news of the year..."

……

The whole scene was filled with all kinds of ridicule and accusations.

After hearing these words, Lin Zhenhong became furious.

He immediately rushed forward, pointed at Ji Xiaochen and shouted angrily: "You, you are not from the Ji family? Then what about the 100 million I invested?"

His voice was full of despair and helplessness.

Facing Lin Zhenhong's questioning, Ji Xiaochen felt no guilt at all and instead acted like a rogue.

"You invested in me willingly. I didn't force you!"

After saying this, there was even a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Ji Xiaochen, you...you are so despicable!"

Zhang Meng rushed to Ji Xiaochen angrily, pointed at him with trembling hands, and said with gritted teeth.

Ji Xiaochen glanced at her with disdain, "It's mutual..."

Lin Wan'er couldn't accept this cruel fact and felt a pain in her heart.

She originally thought she had found true love, but unexpectedly, she fell into an elaborate scam.

Her eyes widened, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with regret and self-blame.

Lin Zhenhong was so angry that he was shaking all over. He never thought that he would be so stupid as to be played around by a liar!

At this moment, his face turned as pale as paper, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word.

The police officer then said sternly: "Ji Xiaochen, a victim has already reported the case. We police have sufficient and solid evidence, you can't deny it!"

When Lin Wan'er heard the news, she felt like she was struck by lightning and collapsed to the ground instantly.

Her tears continued to flow, and her eyes were filled with despair and helplessness.

In the end, he could only watch Ji Xiaochen being taken away by the police.

Her heart seemed to be torn into countless pieces and she was in great pain.

The next second, Lu Youyou walked over, stopped in front of Lin Wan'er, and looked down at her.

Lin Wan'er raised her head and glared at Lu Youyou, with flames of anger burning in her eyes.

"Lu Youyou, it's all your fault!" she roared angrily.

After hearing her words, Lu Youyou sneered at first, then shook his head and said calmly:

"Lin Wan'er, you have brought this upon yourself. If you weren't so greedy, how could you have easily believed his sweet words? Everything that happened today is retribution for your actions."

After hearing this, Lin Wan'er was so angry that she trembled all over.

She knew that she had completely lost this time.

Her self-esteem suffered an unprecedented blow, and her heart was filled with shame and regret.

"Lu Youyou, I will never let you go!"

Lin Wan'er was so ashamed that she gritted her teeth and spoke harshly.

Then she turned and ran out of the banquet hall.

This engagement party, which was supposed to be full of joy and happiness, ended up in a farce.

The guests present looked at each other, most of them with expressions of gloating on their faces.

For a moment, the entire banquet hall fell into deathly silence.

Only the mess on the ground witnessed what had just happened...
