Silver City, the Lin family manor.
Guests arrived one after another. Lin Chen's parents had already returned by helicopter, and they warmly welcomed everyone.
Mixed within the crowd were some special guests, carefully observing the surroundings for any suspicious activity.
These people were all from the National Security Bureau.
Their expressions were tense, not daring to relax in the slightest. They had received strict orders from above that nothing must happen today.
Lin Chen's personal influence was already considerable, and many of the guests also wielded great power. Old Yang and others would be coming, as well as many famous painters, musicians, and calligraphers.
Even foreign guests like Sadrman would be present.
"Wow, isn't that Andy Lau? Why is he here?"
"Master Lin sings exceptionally well. It's only natural for a musician like Andy Lau to come."
"Look, Elder Jiang Xuesong is here."
Many of the early-arriving guests whispered among themselves.
Normally, it would be rare to see some big stars, but today it was easy to spot them. Even celebrities from circles Lin Chen hadn't interacted with came to show their support and attend the wedding banquet.
Although Lin Chen hadn't had much contact with them, the Xu family might have. Lin Chen had given electronic invitations to these celebrities, provided they had good character.
"Mr. Lin, congratulations, congratulations."
Jiang Xuesong and the others got out of the car, smiling.
"Elder Jiang, thank you!"
"Please, come inside."
Lin Hai and Chen Mei greeted them warmly.
In the past, they would have been flustered and nervous when such important figures arrived, but now, Lin Hai and his wife could treat them with a normal attitude.
After all, they were here because their son was remarkable.
Before Jiang Xuesong and the others could enter, more cars arrived.
Several members of the Silver City government leadership team came.
More of them wanted to come, but the invitations had a limited number of accompanying guests.
Lin Chen hadn't interacted much with them yet, but the Lin family manor would inevitably have dealings with them in the future, so he still sent them about ten invitations.
"Old Brother Lin, congratulations, congratulations."
"For Master Lin and Ms. Xu Mengyao to get married in our Silver City, our entire city feels honored," the Silver City secretary said with a beaming smile.
Lin Hai shook hands with them one by one.
He felt a sense of unreality. He had only seen someone like the Silver City secretary on television before. The only official he had ever interacted with was the village secretary.
Now, such a person was calling him Old Brother Lin.
The other party was probably even a little older than him.
Just as he finished greeting the Silver City secretary and the others, Old Xu and others arrived.
Even the Shanghai secretary, Dong Fengmao, had come.
"Goodness, the Lin family's connections are truly strong."
"It's mainly because Master Lin is amazing."
Many people whispered.
Not long after Dong Fengmao and the others entered the manor, luxury cars arrived one after another. Many wealthy people like Song Shize came.
The ones with less had tens of billions in assets.
The ones with more had trillions.
Song Shize and Song Qingquan were extremely wealthy, but their wealth wasn't the most top-tier among these tycoons.
Some top-tier wealthy people Lin Chen hadn't met before were taking this opportunity to come to the wedding and get to know him.
Their sense of smell was very keen.
If Lin Chen simply had money, they wouldn't care. Lin Chen's current money was far less than theirs, but Lin Chen had more than just money; he had powerful abilities.
They had learned from some channels that the higher-ups highly valued Lin Chen, and many big shots were coming to attend the wedding.
"Everyone, welcome, welcome, please come inside," Lin Hai invited.
He was a little numb.
Song Qingquan said with a smile, "Uncle Lin, my brother and I will help you entertain them. You don't have to worry about us."
Everyone was surprised.
Song Qingquan was indeed much younger than Lin Hai, but Song Shize's age wasn't much younger than Lin Hai's. Song Qingquan was now calling Lin Hai Uncle Lin.
"That's right, Uncle Lin, we'll help you," Song Shize said with a smile.
He didn't have the slightest reluctance. Being able to associate with Lin Chen as an equal was pretty good in his opinion. What was wrong with calling Lin Chen's father Uncle Lin?
"Thank you."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Lin Hai said.
There were too many guests, and he was indeed too busy. Although there were others helping to entertain, many of the guests had distinguished status, and he, as the host, had to personally greet them.
Time passed minute by minute.
More and more guests arrived.
Lin Chen's wedding procession was also gradually approaching.
Two kilometers away, the procession stopped.
Ahead of the procession was an ancient-style wedding escort team, complete with ornate carriages, steeds, colorful sedan chairs, and drums and music.
The entire team numbered over a hundred people.
Gathered on both sides of the wedding procession were many onlookers.
"Wife, it's time to change to the bridal sedan!"
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoqian said in a childish voice, "Daddy, I want to ride in the sedan with Mommy too, hee hee."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Mommy is the bride, only the bride rides in the bridal sedan. How about Daddy holding you to ride a horse? That big white horse."
"You can't see outside from the sedan, but you can see when riding a horse."
Lin Xiaoqian nodded.
"Okay."
"I just want to be with Daddy and Mommy."
Lin Xiaoqian said sweetly.
Lin Chen got out of the car, and he quickly carried Xu Mengyao out of the car.
With so many onlookers, Xu Mengyao's face showed a shy expression.
Lin Chen quickly carried Xu Mengyao to the bridal sedan.
"Qianqian, come, Daddy will hold you."
Lin Chen also carried Lin Xiaoqian out of the car.
Lin Chen held her and sat her on the big white horse in front of the bridal sedan.
"Start the sedan."
"Fire the cannons, play the music!"
The sound of cannons rang out, and cheerful music also began, and the entire procession slowly headed towards the Lin family manor.
"Master Lin, congratulations, congratulations."
"Master Lin, congratulations on your wedding, may you have a happy marriage for a hundred years."
Many people on both sides of the road shouted excitedly.
Many of them were Lin Chen's die-hard fans. Many people had specifically flown in from other places.
"Thank you."
Lin Chen cupped his hands and thanked them continuously.
Lin Xiaoqian sat in front of Lin Chen, curiously looking at everything around her.
In the crowd, many National Security members vigilantly watched the surroundings. It would be terrible if there were assassins among the crowd.
There were so many people on both sides of the road; they couldn't search everyone one by one. They could only stand out to stop them at the first sign of danger.
On both sides of the road, drones were hidden.
They were monitoring everything around them.
If someone had a problem, they would remind them immediately.
Two unmanned reconnaissance aircraft circled in the sky tens of thousands of meters high, constantly checking the movements here.
At the nearest airport, two fighter jets and four armed helicopters were on standby with full fuel and ammunition. They would be dispatched in any emergency.
"Husband."
Yang Qingyue held Xu Guofeng's hand.
They didn't get out of the car. The convoy slowly followed behind.
Xu Guofeng said, "I didn't give you such a grand wedding back then. This kid Lin Chen is stronger than I was back then."
Yang Qingyue: "My wedding was also lively before. It's a pity that my parents are gone and can't see this scene."
"If they could see it, they would definitely be very happy."
Xu Guofeng pointed to the sky above: "They will see it in heaven. We'll go and pay respects to the ancestors then."
