Not long after, the waiter named Zhao Kexian was brought in.
But as soon as he entered, Shi Xiaoya's assistant exclaimed, "Huh."
"Is there a problem?" Shi Xiaoya immediately asked.
Shaking her head, the assistant pointed at Zhao Kexian and said, "The person who just came isn't him."
Zhao Kexian looked puzzled. "I am Zhao Kexian, but I didn't come here just now."
"Where were you just now?" Gu Nian asked.
"I was in the banquet hall replacing tableware," Zhao Kexian replied truthfully.
Although the banquet had just begun, the resort had high standards for service quality.
This wedding reception was conducted in a Western style, so dishes were served one after another.
The waiters carefully monitored each guest's dining progress and replaced dishes when needed.
New tableware was brought out with each course, and bread was served, followed by new dishes later.
There was a requirement for a sufficient number of waiters in the banquet hall, with at least two per table.
Therefore, Gu Nian asked, "Can any colleagues confirm your whereabouts?"
It felt like an interrogation, which made Zhao Kexian uncomfortable.
But he had to prioritize the guests.
"Yes, I was standing behind Table 4 with my colleague," Zhao Kexian replied.
Without needing Gu Nian to say more, the manager immediately went to fetch the person serving at Table 4 and sent two others to take over.
After receiving confirmation from his colleague, Gu Nian nodded.
That meant the person who had come earlier pretending to be him was fake.
When the fake Zhao Kexian arrived, the banquet had already started.
At that time, Zhao Kexian was working in the banquet hall, so the impostor took advantage of the opportunity to come.
"Sorry, someone came pretending to be you earlier and approached me. I felt something was amiss, so I wanted to confirm with you," Gu Nian explained to Zhao Kexian.
Zhao Kexian didn't expect to receive an apology from her.
Upon hearing this explanation, his previous discomfort dissipated.
"I don't mind at all. If you have any doubts, feel free to ask me," Zhao Kexian immediately replied.
His attitude now was noticeably more cooperative.
Gu Nian smiled and thanked him, about to discuss something with the customer service manager when the door opened again.
This time, it was Chu Zhaoyang returning.
"Why are you back?" Gu Nian asked.
"I saw you hadn't come over, so I came to check," Chu Zhaoyang said worriedly.
But upon returning and seeing a room full of people, it seemed like something serious had happened, and his expression immediately stiffened. "What happened?"
Gu Nian then explained the situation with the letter.
She took out the letter and handed it to Chu Zhaoyang. "The waiter who delivered the letter was impersonating this Zhao Kexian. Earlier, Little Xu was cautious when accepting the letter. She caught sight of the person's name tag, which had Zhao Kexian's name on it. So, I called him over, but it turned out he wasn't the person who had delivered the letter."
As Gu Nian explained, Chu Zhaoyang listened attentively while looking at the greeting card.
There were only two words, with an "R" signature, which was enough to catch his attention.
Seeing that "R," even Chu Zhaoyang's expression changed.
This "R" was exactly the same as the one written in the letter delivered to the old house when he was kidnapped years ago!
Over the years, the strokes might have changed slightly.
But a single letter, simple with just two strokes, how much could it really change?
The typeface might have slightly changed, but the essence would remain the same.
Chu Zhaoyang recognized it at a glance.
Seeing Chu Zhaoyang's expression, Gu Nian guessed.
But in front of so many people, it wasn't appropriate to ask too many detailed questions.
Chu Zhaoyang immediately called over Chu He, the leader of the security team responsible for this, to explain.
Their wedding, whether to prevent unexpected incidents or unauthorized journalists, required very tight security.
Chu Zhaoyang didn't use the resort's security team but directly brought in his own team.
The clan guarded the resort's entrance personally, even places where others might sneak in, were also tightly guarded.
From the resort's gate to the castle's gate, there was a family member guarding every five steps and a sentry every ten steps.
Clad in black suits, the clan stood in neat formation.
Guests who didn't understand saw it and thought it was arranged for the wedding to make the scene grander.
From the resort's gate to the castle's gate, there were clan guards at both the front and back doors.
Even inside the castle, every entrance and exit was manned by the clan.
It could be said that the clan managed the resort inside and out, and not even a fly could get in.
Yet even with such measures, someone from the Orrganization R managed to sneak in.
Chu Zhaoyang had Little Xu, Shi Xiaoya's assistant, describe the appearance of the person who had impersonated Zhao Kexian.
Chu He immediately went to retrieve the surveillance footage to find this person; it was Chu He's responsibility.
Chu Zhaoyang took Gu Nian back to the banquet hall to toast.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be right for the bride and groom not to appear for a long time.
Gu Nian could only temporarily put this matter aside, leaving it to Chu He to resolve, and followed Chu Zhaoyang back to the banquet hall.
Due to the Western dining style, there were fewer overlapping glasses on the table.
Everyone whispered and chatted softly, occasionally raising their glasses to celebrate, sipping wine sip by sip without gulping it down.
However, apart from Han Zhuoli and a few others, not many people dared to pour wine into Chu Zhaoyang's glass.
