Chapter 1613: Chapter 1613 Abandoned Baby in Front of Car 3

As soon as Feng Qingxue finished speaking, Director Liu naturally agreed wholeheartedly, inviting the couple to take the seats of honor. He personally brought the wedding sweets and tea to the table. Originally, it was his duty to host the wedding ceremony, but he intended to ask Lu Jiang to take over.

Having a military commander host a wedding, how prestigious that would be.

After all, Han Ping had been with Lu Jiang for a few years, and Lu Jiang had once saved his life. Lu Jiang agreed without any hesitation.

It was meant to support Han Ping, and hosting the wedding was indeed a fitting way.

As for how to host a wedding, if you haven’t eaten pork, haven’t you at least seen pigs run?

Lu Jiang was clever, and he had already etched the scenes of collective weddings held in the army into his memory.

Both the Liu Family and Han Family were overjoyed, their faces radiant. Han Ping and Liu Yan were also flattered and overwhelmed.

Feng Qingxue watched her husband preside over a standard wedding ceremony, a stark contrast to the collective weddings of the border patrol units from over a decade ago. Today’s bride and groom formed a single couple, with red certificates in their hands as they pledged their vows, which otherwise differed little in wording.

Both Han Ping and Liu Yan wore military uniforms, looking like two soldiers getting married at first glance.

The military uniform was the trendiest attire of this era, bar none.

At a glance, among the guests, a dozen or so wore slightly worn military uniforms. Of course, they weren’t the standard-issue from the army but made from army green fabric they had bought themselves.

Others wore the unified attire of the local police station, visibly distinguishing their identities.

There weren’t many guests, just about thirty or forty in total, spread across three or four tables. The food was decent, with white steamed buns and rice as staples. Each table had eight dishes, mainly stews, half of which were meat dishes. The largest dish was pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli, filling a large bowl. Lu Jiang’s table even had a bottle of Fenjiu and a bottle of Moutai, indicating Han Ping had put every effort into preparing for his wedding.

With more and more people beside the newlyweds toasting to Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, even cadres from several nearby government offices came over at the news. Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue soon used work as an excuse to leave early.

Han Ping and Liu Yan saw them off at the door. Suddenly, Liu Ran, who had gone ahead to get the car, approached with a grim expression, carrying a basket covered with a small tattered quilt.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Jiang asked in a deep voice.

Liu Ran handed the basket to him and Feng Qingxue, revealing a corner of the little quilt, "Look."

Feng Qingxue saw at once a baby inside the basket. Although wrapped in tattered swaddling, and covered with a little quilt, both swaddling and quilt were thin. Wucheng was in the grip of extreme cold; the little one’s face was purple from the cold, weak to the point of near-unconsciousness, its cries barely audible.

"Where did it come from?" Feng Qingxue frowned.

Liu Ran replied, "I found it at the front of our car. No one was around, so I don’t know who left it. I walked from the back of the car to open the driver’s door, got in, and was about to start the engine. If I hadn’t suddenly heard the weak cry of the baby, the car might have run right over it because the basket was placed right beneath the front. Even standing by the car front, I probably wouldn’t have noticed it."

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue’s faces were very grim. Han Ping, Liu Yan, and Director Liu, who came along, were also incredulous.

Could this be a setup for extortion? Feng Qingxue wondered in her heart.

Contemplating it was one thing, but they couldn’t ignore the baby in the basket. The group moved to the police station.
