Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 838 - 387: Retrial

Everyone knew that the Yu family’s stability today relied not on political strategies or aristocratic marriages, but on the backing of the Azure Dragon Army.

The renowned, mysterious, powerful, and fearsome Azure Dragon Army.

Within the Azure Dragon Army, a severely strict and ruthless selection process was enforced, producing exceptional men among thousands. To become the leader of the Azure Dragon Army, aside from personal competence, loyalty was paramount.

Loyalty to the Yu family.

This was almost an iron rule engraved into the bones and blood of the Azure Dragon Army. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Thus, when Lei Jian pointed his gun at Yu Fusheng, the shock it delivered was akin to the sky collapsing.

The blond youth laughed arrogantly and wildly, and everyone could see his unpredictable mind hidden beneath his nonchalant appearance.

It turned out he had come prepared.

Even managing to buy off Lei Jian from the Azure Dragon Army; such means were truly formidable.

Everyone couldn’t help but shiver, feeling as though they had been plunged into an ice cellar during the season of blooming spring.

Yu Fusheng’s temples throbbed, his complexion was worse than ever, but years of experience calmed him down quickly. He stared intently at Lei Jian and said word by word, "Do you know what you’re doing?"

Lei Jian stepped out from behind Amos, his tall figure, cold face, and glistening gun barrel radiated an overwhelming aura.

Amos spoke with a smile: "Perhaps everyone has forgotten, let me remind you, the Azure Dragon Army initially did not bear the Yu name."

Everyone exchanged looks.

The Azure Dragon Army was founded by Sang Kunrou and earned its reputation under his leadership; however, after Sang Kunrou’s death, it was taken over by the Yu family, becoming their sharpest sword.

Under the deliberate suppression by the Yu family, no one mentioned Sang Kunrou anymore, and the Azure Dragon Army naturally became the private army of the Yu family.

No one knew how the Yu family managed to absorb the Azure Dragon Army, but over generations, the consensus was that the Azure Dragon Army was already branded with their mark; there were no distinctions anymore, and no one ever imagined that the Azure Dragon Army would one day betray the Yu family.

Yet that day finally arrived.

Lei Jian’s every word was cold and resolute: "The Azure Dragon Army was established to protect the country. Every member is fearless of sacrifice, but it cannot become the Yu family’s executioner for dirty deeds."

These words were audacious beyond belief, containing terrifying details, almost revealing all the Yu family’s secrets.

Although everyone was aware of it, saying it openly was a direct slap to Yu Fusheng’s face.

"Lei Jian, do you really intend to rebel with this outsider?"

Yu Fusheng was a master at changing topics and playing the victim.

"I just want to know the truth, did Sang Kunrou truly commit treason?"

Looking into Lei Jian’s steadfast and sincere eyes, Yu Fusheng was momentarily at a loss but quickly calmed down, pointing at Amos saying, "You’ve been bewitched by him."

His mind raced, Lei Jian had always been under his control, exactly when did he connect with Amos?

He suddenly thought of the time he sent Lei Jian to Siland to rescue Yu Fuce, could it have been then?

He realized his every move was already under Amos’s surveillance, and that instant revelation evoked a primal fear causing his skin to prick with goosebumps.

He glanced at the blond youth.

The boss behind Huacai City, the mastermind behind Yu Fuce’s kidnapping, it was all him.

Such prowess at a young age, could he have someone backing him?

"Mr. Yu, I only seek the truth."

"The truth has long been made public, Sang Kunrou’s treason evidence is conclusive; are you challenging the authority of justice?"

"Historically, Han Xin’s army intimidated many, but Lady Lv fabricated evidence to frame him for rebellion, leading to his demise. Sang Kunrou is simply a historical repetition, while your Yu family is neither Liu Bang nor Lady Lv." Xiang Chenyu stood out and stated firmly.

Mrs. Xiang nearly fainted, Chenyu dared to utter such treasonous words, the Xiang family was doomed.

Yu Fusheng appeared calm and collected, "In modern society, everything hinges on evidence; without it, you are no different from Sang Kunrou—traitors worthy of death."

A blatant threat.

Xiang Chenyu sneered, raising his voice, "Mr. Li."

Everyone witnessed a man in his fifties enter, surrounded by others.

The man wore a neat uniform, with the badge of judicial justice gleaming on his chest; his epaulettes induced involuntary awe.

The man strode in, his upright face, resolute and fearless gaze commanded respect, discouraging any misconduct.

Lei Jian saw the man, quickly holstered his gun, and walked beside him.

Yu Fusheng’s pupils constricted subconsciously stepping forward: "Mr. Li, why are you here?"

Li Qu, head of the Special Investigation Group, held a high rank, independent of the three departments, with significant authority, even Yu Fusheng had to bow to him.

But Li Qu usually handled major cases, rarely seen by ordinary people, Yu Fusheng hadn’t seen him since a propaganda event five years ago.

"Mr. Yu, I have received new evidence regarding Sang Kunrou’s treason case; the case needs to be overturned and retried. You and the Yu family must cooperate with the investigation."

Yu Fusheng’s pupils contracted sharply: "Overturned and retried?"

Everyone was shocked; they never expected the situation to evolve like this.

Li Qu spoke matter-of-factly, "Yes, the case is significant. With the new evidence, after meetings and research, a decision has been made to form an investigative team to reinvestigate and adjudicate the case. Does Mr. Yu have any objections?"

Yu Fusheng shook his head, "I have no objections."

Li Qu calmly said, "The Yu family, being involved, needs to cooperate with the investigation. During this time, you cannot leave the country and must be available for the investigation team’s summons. Can you comply?"

With Lei Jian’s betrayal, he was besieged on all sides, unable to offend Li Qu; compliance was his only option while he devised a countermeasure.

He couldn’t fathom why Li Qu intervened; could Amos have bought off Li Qu?

Absolutely impossible, Li Qu could never be bought.

Yu Fusheng’s heart sank.

Not being bought made it even more troublesome.

Li Qu looked at the mortuary before him, without a hint of mercy, "The Four Seasons Manor, as Sang Kunrou’s private property, will be sealed for subsequent investigation. Let the deceased rest first, discuss after the funeral."

Li Qu never glanced at Amos, departing swiftly, with Lei Jian, Xiang Chenyan, and Xiang Chenyu following as members of the investigative team for the subsequent probe.

Li Qu’s appearance was a bombshell in the calm lake of Jingzhou.

The reopening of Sang Kunrou’s case shattered everyone’s understanding.

It seems Jingzhou’s sky was about to change.

Looking upon the splendor of the Yu family, it was likely nearing its end.

Amos pointed at Helian Yu with a smile, "Come, say it again, who is Sang Ziming?"

Helian Yu’s face was grim, never expecting even Li Qu would emerge to investigate Sang Kunrou’s old case.

Could the case truly be overturned?

She instinctively glanced at Yu Fusheng, gritting her teeth, "Sang Ziming is Mr. Yu’s wife."

Amos emphasized, "His first wife."

Helian Yu’s face turned ashen, even Yu Fusheng’s face was unpleasant.

The Old Mrs. Yu hung at the mortuary, now seemed utterly ironic.

"You all heard Mr. Li earlier, the Four Seasons Manor is Sang Kunrou’s private property, so why is the funeral being held for Old Mrs. Yu here? Remove all unauthorized persons."

Once Amos finished speaking, a group of men in black uniforms stormed in.

All guests were escorted out.

Then the group in black moved to take Old Mrs. Yu’s coffin.

Yu Fusheng’s calm shattered; he shouted, "What are you doing?" rushing forward to block the coffin.

"Respect the deceased, how can you be so disrespectful?"
