This complex case has finally come to a close.

Li Ming was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Despite his imprisonment, many online began to believe that the copyright actually belonged to him. For a time, many felt sorry for his fate, lamenting the injustice of destiny.

As for Jiang Shuai, Bai Mengfei chose to keep his involvement in the conspiracy a secret from everyone, including her beloved Xiang Yuntian.

To express his gratitude to Bai Mengfei for her leniency, Jiang Shuai specially invited her to dinner. During the meal, Jiang Shuai praised Bai Mengfei highly, his words full of admiration and compliments, which led Xiang Yuntian to mistakenly believe that Jiang Shuai harbored feelings for her.

Xiang Yuntian immediately became alert and solemnly reminded Jiang Shuai, "It won't be long before she becomes your future sister-in-law!"

Jiang Shuai hurriedly explained with a smile, "I know, I know that very well!"

"Good to know, but don't get any funny ideas." Xiang Yuntian said, snuggling up to Bai Mengfei and standing close to her, as if afraid that she might be snatched away by someone else if he wasn't careful.

Seeing this, Jiang Shuai silently wished them well in his heart, a sincere smile spreading across his face, and asked, "So when are you planning to get married? You must invite me!"

"Definitely!" Xiang Yuntian patted Jiang Shuai on the shoulder and laughed happily, "Without you, this wedding would be much less fun!"

"Haha, then I'll have to make a big fuss in the bridal chamber!" Jiang Shuai laughed along, and the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.

Xiang Yuntian was silent for a moment, then looked at Bai Mengfei with tender eyes and said slowly, "Actually, my parents have already made a decision and have helped us prepare for the wedding. If possible, they hope we can get married this Sunday."

"Huh?" Jiang Shuai couldn't help but exclaim softly, his face full of surprise. "Isn't that three days from now? Why are you only telling me now!"

"Weren't I held up by Li Ming's case the whole time? That's why I haven't had a chance to talk to you about it until now." Xiang Yuntian said, raising his left hand to scratch his head, looking somewhat conflicted and helpless.

Bai Mengfei quickly said, "It's alright! Three days later is fine. Anyway, I've already prepared myself." After saying that, she looked at Xiang Yuntian affectionately, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

In fact, she had been eagerly anticipating this day, and had imagined countless times the happy scene of marrying Xiang Yuntian.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly, his heart pounding with excitement. He immediately knelt down on one knee. He slowly took out the ring he always carried with him and, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the restaurant, solemnly proposed to Bai Mengfei.

He gazed intently at Bai Mengfei, his eyes filled with deep affection. After a long while, he suppressed his nervousness, revealed a relieved smile, and mustered his courage to earnestly plead, "Marry me?"

At this moment, his eyes were pure and sincere, filled not only with earnestness but also with boundless anticipation for the future.

Bai Mengfei was both surprised and delighted, and could only smile foolishly, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

The restaurant patrons stood up, applauded enthusiastically, and chanted in unison, "Marry him! Marry him..."

Seeing that Bai Mengfei did not immediately agree, Xiang Yuntian pleaded again, "Marry me, okay? You know I will treat you well for the rest of my life, I will protect you with my life, and this feeling will never change!"

Bai Mengfei was deeply moved, and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily. She nodded gently, slowly extended her hand, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Yes, I promise you!"

A glint of joy flashed in Xiang Yuntian's eyes as he carefully put the ring on her finger.

They had waited far too long for this day, enduring countless twists and turns and trials. Now, they had finally come together. Amidst the blessings of the crowd, they embraced tightly, their heartbeats seemingly merging into one.

Seeing this, Jiang Shuai smiled with satisfaction, stood up, clapped vigorously, and offered them his sincerest blessings.

In the moment of their tight embrace, Xiang Yuntian leaned close to Bai Mengfei's ear and whispered three words: "I love you!" His voice was low but incredibly firm, filled with his deepest love for her.

Because of these three words, he never said them easily, and he never expressed them to any other girl.

"Me too!" Bai Mengfei replied softly. At this moment, a feeling of happiness spread through their hearts.

However, good times are always fleeting. Three days later, Xiang Yuntian, overjoyed, went to fetch Bai Mengfei and head to the church for their wedding. But on the way, Xiang Yuntian suddenly received a call from his father, whose cold and heavy voice came from the other end: "The wedding is canceled!"

"Why? Dad!" Xiang Yuntian asked excitedly, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

"Call Captain Zhao and you'll find out what happened!" The father's voice trembled, filled with unconcealed grief.

Xiang Yuntian sensed something was wrong and immediately dialed Zhao Fei's number after hanging up the phone. Zhao Fei said gravely, "Something terrible has happened!"

"What big thing is it?" Xiang Yuntian asked anxiously.

Zhao Fei was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Something happened to your mother!"

Upon hearing this devastating news, Xiang Yuntian was struck dumb, so shocked that his hand slipped and his phone fell to the ground. Due to this sudden and enormous change, the meticulously planned wedding had to be temporarily cancelled.

Completely unaware of the situation, Bai Mengfei was filled with doubt, but she could only accompany Xiang Yuntian back to the police station in a hurry.

As soon as the two entered the police station, Zhao Fei greeted them with a solemn expression and said to Xiang Yuntian, "Your mother's body is inside, but... the body is incomplete; a part is missing."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian immediately understood who was behind it all. Anger surged into his heart, and he slammed his fist against the wall. However, the pain in his fist could not dispel the grief and anger in his heart.

Bai Mengfei was completely stunned. She never imagined that such a terrible thing would happen on the most important day of her life—her wedding day. What was even more unbelievable to her was that the killer of the cruel serial murders of young girls had turned his evil hand to Xiang Yuntian's mother.

While Bai Mengfei was still reeling from the shock and confusion, Xiang Yuntian's father emerged from inside. His eyes were filled with anger and grief as he berated Bai Mengfei, blaming her for everything. He even threw something at her, viciously declaring, "You'll never set foot in the Xiang family again!"

The surrounding police rushed forward to stop him, and Xiang Yuntian also desperately tried to stop his father from harming Bai Mengfei.

Bai Mengfei was still completely bewildered and had no idea why.

At this moment, Zhao Fei walked to her side, shook his head helplessly, and told her, "The body was delivered in some fake express packages, and it was specifically named as being sent to you."

"Why?" Bai Mengfei asked, her face blank, her heart filled with fear and confusion.

Enraged, Xiang Yuntian's father took out Xiang Yuntian's passport and a plane ticket, and forcefully ordered, "Get back to America right now! I won't allow you to marry this woman!"

Xiang Yuntian was still immersed in the immense grief of losing his mother, tears blurring his vision. He choked back sobs, pleading, "Dad, please don't be like this, okay?"

But his father's attitude was unusually firm. He even called in company employees and forcibly took Xiang Yuntian away, making him go back to manage the company in the United States.

"Young Master, let's go!" the company's bodyguard urged from the side.

Xiang Yuntian gazed at Bai Mengfei, his eyes filled with pain and reluctance. In just one day, he had not only lost his beloved mother but was also forced to separate from his beloved Bai Mengfei. His meticulously planned honeymoon trip had now become an unattainable dream.

In an instant, Xiang Yuntian felt his legs go weak, and he was forcibly dragged out of the police station by two bodyguards.

At that moment, Bai Mengfei felt as if the whole world had fallen silent, as if all sound had vanished from her. Her pure white wedding dress seemed particularly glaring at that moment, and she felt like a sinner with blood on her hands.

After all, she knew in her heart that, no matter what, Xiang Yuntian's mother's death was inextricably linked to her.

Late into the night, she remained in the wedding dress—a symbol of happiness yet tinged with tragedy—sitting alone in the police station. Most of her colleagues had left, leaving only a handful, and she seemed forgotten by the world, lost in her pain and self-blame, unable to find peace.
