Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!

Chapter 1045 - 517: The Pitiful One

The heavy rain poured down, blurring the view.

Xiang Chenyan said coldly, "Put down the gun and surrender now, there is still a chance for lenient treatment, otherwise what awaits you will be the judgment of the law."

The woman sneered, "Save your pompous talk, it doesn’t work on me. Either release the gentleman, or I send you all to meet King Yan."

"In broad daylight, have you no regard for the law?"

"I only know the gentleman is the law."

Yu Fusheng smirked, "Xiang Chenyan, how about we make a deal? You let me go, and I spare your lives."

Xiang Chenyan’s gun barrel pressed increasingly tight against Yu Fusheng’s temple, "Yu Fusheng, do you know what you’re doing?"

"If Li Qu isn’t dead, then I’m the dead one. If I don’t run, are you waiting to kill me together?"

Yu Fusheng is not someone to sit and wait for death. Since the current situation is unfavorable to him, he should leave swiftly, and rise again another day.

"Run? With the label of a wanted criminal, where can you run? Surrender obediently and strive for lenient treatment from the law, that’s your only chance."

Yu Fusheng gave a cold laugh, "Do you think I’m as easy to deceive as a toddler? Once the announcement is made, I know there’s no way back. If you let me go, in return, I’ll tell you the whereabouts of Hongyu."

Xiang Chenyan’s pupils shrank abruptly, "What did you say?"

In that moment when Xiang Chenyan was stunned, Yu Fusheng struck like lightning, swiftly grabbing Xiang Chenyan’s gun-holding hand, attempting to remove the gun from his hand. Xiang Chenyan reacted immediately, resisting at once, between the struggle, the handgun misfired, shooting upwards.

A slender and delicate white hand reached in, taking the gun, and the next moment, Xiang Chenyan’s head was pressed against the icy gun barrel.

Xiang Chenyan stiffly turned his head, the rain seemed heavier, but the woman’s face, inches away, became clearer.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, "Hongyu?"

The woman sneered, pulling the trigger, pushing the gun barrel down, "Xiang Chenyan, I’m sending you to meet King Yan now."

"No, the Hongyu I know isn’t like this. Why have you become Yu Fusheng’s accomplice? What exactly happened?"

The woman’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yu Fusheng’s cold voice urged nearby, "Make it quick."

She gazed at the handsome resolute man in front of her, those deep black eyes stared at her, filled with a plethora of complex emotions: shock, regret, pain...

Hongyu’s hand holding the gun hesitated for a moment.

Why does this man look at her like this, if it weren’t for the gentleman, she probably would never have crossed paths with him.

Just at Hongyu’s brief moment of concentration, Xiang Chenyan pulled out a handgun from his back waist, confronting Hongyu.

Then Xiang Chenyan aimed the gun at Yu Fusheng standing behind Hongyu.

"What did you do to Hongyu?"

Yu Fusheng did not answer Xiang Chenyan, turning straight to Hongyu’s car.

"Kill him."

The man’s heartless voice echoed in the torrential rain.

Hongyu retreated while holding the gun against Xiang Chenyan, the rain and mist gradually blurred the view, only the man’s eyes grew clearer in her mind.

Fragments of distant memories flickered like shadows in her mind, Hongyu shook her head.

Xiang Chenyan pressed further, "You’re Yu Hongyu, Yu Guoning’s..."

"Bang." A shot hit Xiang Chenyan’s shoulder, he grunted but didn’t stop his steps.

Inside the car, Yu Fusheng held the gun, his face grim.

"You don’t even listen to me anymore."

With those words, he was about to fire a second shot.

Hongyu blocked the gun, "The Xiang family betrayed the gentleman, it’s a fate deserved, but this person’s life still holds purpose."

Yu Fusheng gave her a deep look, "You’ve never softened when killing."

"I’m not soft-hearted, Xiang Chenyan’s life is kept to restrain the Xiang family, letting him die is too easy."

Yu Fusheng smirked, putting away the gun.

Hongyu deeply looked at Xiang Chenyan, jumped into the driver’s seat, and drove away from the scene quickly.

Xiang Chenyan chased after, firing several shots at the car wheels, but could only watch helplessly as the car arrogantly sped away.

"Brother, are you injured?" Xiang Chenyu came running swiftly.

Xiang Chenyan’s arm was bleeding profusely, a shocking sight.

"Contact headquarters, set up blockades at every checkpoint, make sure he doesn’t escape."

Xiang Chenyu said, "Don’t worry about that, but didn’t we agree earlier? To deliberately let Yu Fusheng leave, to lure the snake out of its hole, why did you get so deep into the role? Even got yourself injured?"

While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, Xiang Chenyu opened the trunk, took out a first aid kit, and started treating Xiang Chenyan’s bleeding.

An emergency backup was already prepared, to prevent casualties at the scene, an ambulance was ready at any moment, it would take a few minutes to reach the scene.

Xiang Chenyan sat in the car, soaked by the rain, he closed his eyes: "I saw Hongyu."

Xiang Chenyu paused in shock while treating the wound, "Who did you say?"

"Yu Hongyu."

Xiang Chenyu’s quick movements, sneered, "Is this woman stupid, the Yu family harmed her so badly back then, yet she’s serving Yu Fusheng, was her brain kicked by a donkey."

Xiang Chenyan shook his head, "She seems to have lost her memory, she doesn’t even remember me."

"Brother, you wouldn’t still like her, would you?" Xiang Chenyu’s actions became heavier, making Xiang Chenyan frown.

"You’re overthinking."

"The Yu family never trusted our Xiang family. Back then, the Yu family married her into the Xiang family with the intent to control us, but unfortunately, my older brother passed away early, leaving her a widow. I thought she wouldn’t stir up trouble, but unexpectedly, she still captured your heart. Can you dare say you’ve never secretly searched for her all these years?"

Xiang Chenyan fell silent, closing his eyes.

"Yu Fusheng let her appear in front of you, also with the intention to use her to manipulate you again. Clear your head, don’t make any foolish mistakes again for this woman. If it affects the plan, no one can save you."

Xiang Chenyu reminded.

Xiang Chenyan suddenly opened his eyes: "Regardless, spare her life, she is a pitiful person being used by Yu Fusheng."

Xiang Chenyu shook his head, "She didn’t show any pity when she shot at you."

The man looked at her deeply.

Xiang Chenyu grumbled, "Alright, alright, I know. I’ll inform the upper level, but don’t hold your hopes too high, after today’s incident, they are destined to become fugitives."

The car sped in the rain.

Hongyu drove, fragments of scattered memories flashed through her mind, she unintentionally ran a red light, seemingly hitting something.

Hongyu slammed the brakes urgently, sweat breaking out in shock.

"Was it a person just now?"

Yu Fusheng rolled down the window, glanced at the roadside, "It was a stray cat."

"Is it... dead?"

Yu Fusheng said coldly, "You still care about hitting a cat to death? What a joke."

Hongyu shook her head, dispelling those unsettling memories, driving again.

"Sir, I watched Zhao Lin as per your orders, just as you predicted, he had already betrayed you. Not only did he not kill Li Qu, but he also conspired to meet with Li Qu, had I not been vigilant, we’d never see you again this lifetime."
