Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!

Chapter 1046 - 518: Backing Behind the Scenes

Yu Fusheng instructed her to closely monitor Zhao Lin’s movements, as he suspected Zhao Lin of having betrayal in mind. With Lei Jian already defected, Yu Fusheng could not afford to be besieged from both sides, hence the danger must be nipped in the bud.

It must be said, Mr. Yu’s concern was justified. Not only did Zhao Lin not kill Li Qu, but he also conspired to meet him. She saw with her own eyes the scene of the two meeting in private.

The security level around Li Qu was very high, and she almost got caught there.

To evade Li Qu’s pursuit, she stayed out of sight for two days, not daring to use her phone. Someone of Li Qu’s caliber should not be underestimated in his subordinates’ tracking abilities.

Once she shook off the danger, she received a call from Han Li just as she turned on her phone: Mr. Yu was in trouble, and a rescue had to be arranged in the fastest time possible.

With both Lei Jian and Zhao Lin defecting, Mr. Yu had fewer and fewer reliable subordinates, leaving only White Tiger Captain Mingxi. This person was mainly in charge of intelligence, making him the most suitable to arrange the retreat.

Mr. Yu could no longer stay in the country. Fortunately, he had foresight and had secretly established assets and connections abroad to get through the current crisis, with plans to stage a comeback in the future.

Customs would surely have set up an inescapable net, but Yu Fusheng’s many years of operations in the country were not to be underestimated. Moreover, having Mingxi assist from the shadows provided him with many ways to avoid customs checks.

Yu Fusheng’s eyes were dark: "I knew it would come to this; these people are ungrateful white-eyed wolves, always thinking of the Sang family."

The strict selection criteria within Azure Dragon and Xuanwu meant that each generation’s captains were mostly selected internally. Even Yu Fusheng had no say in this, which led to the captains appearing loyal to him but actually being disloyal. Knowing the truth about Sang Kunrou’s case, they would undoubtedly turn against him. He should have thought of this, this was his negligence.

But the captains of White Tiger and Vermilion Bird were people he placed after taking over, making them more trustworthy.

"These people deserve to die; I will take their lives to avenge Mr. Yu one day." Hongyu’s tone was filled with a menacing killing intent.

"The phone."

Hongyu retrieved a new phone from the armrest box and handed it to Yu Fusheng.

After Yu Fusheng turned on the phone, he dialed a number.

After three rings, it was answered by a mechanical and indifferent young male voice: "Happy Fried Chicken, sharing deliciousness. Welcome to Happy Fried Chicken. Free delivery within three kilometers, and a limited-time 15% discount on the Couch Potato Combo..."

Yu Fusheng rubbed his temples: "I want three Couch Potato Combos. The address is 27 Binjiang Road."

The phone went silent for a moment, followed by an excited exclamation: "Sir."

"Find out who Shen You’an, Amos, and whoever they are in contact with in the shortest time possible."

The man’s voice on the other end instantly turned serious: "Yes, sir."

"Reduce contact from now on, and keep yourself hidden."

Yu Fusheng hung up the phone, took out the SIM card, broke it in two, and threw it out of the partially lowered car window.

The wheels crushed it to dust, turning everything back to dust.

With the new passport in hand, Yu Fusheng disguised himself and headed straight for the airport.

As expected, airport security had been strengthened several times over, with patrolling police visible everywhere, questioning suspicious passengers.

Hongyu had changed out of her conspicuous red dress into simple workwear, without makeup, and wore heavy black-framed glasses, carrying a briefcase, appearing as the most stable and dependable secretary by her boss’s side.

After meeting with the contact, the two went to the airport’s VIP lounge to wait.

Soon, Hongyu came rushing out of the restroom with the latest news from Mingxi.

"Sir, Mingxi has found out."

Yu Fusheng lifted his eyes from the tablet.

There were only two people in the VIP room, and the atmosphere instantly became oppressive. Outside the giant floor-to-ceiling windows, the night was thick with rain turning to drizzle, and the wind and rain beat against the glass, amplifying the unease in people’s hearts.

Hongyu took a deep breath: "Shen You’an and Amos have had no contact, but she has met someone recently."

Seeing the serious expression on Hongyu’s face, Yu Fusheng had a bad premonition.

Hongyu took a step forward and whispered in Yu Fusheng’s ear, in a voice only audible to both of them.

Yu Fusheng’s pupils contracted suddenly, his eyes turning grim and sharp, firmly locking onto Hongyu’s face.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely certain. Mingxi realizes he neglected his duty and made a grave mistake, and he asks for your forgiveness, sir."

The veins on the back of Yu Fusheng’s hand bulged as he gripped the tablet, and after a long silence, he let out a cold laugh: "So it’s true."

"Sir, what should we do now?" Hongyu’s eyes were full of worry.

"So many years of patience and hibernation, turns out they’ve been waiting for me here; very well."

Furious, Yu Fusheng smashed the tablet hard.

"What a bunch of useless people I’ve raised; they only realized they’d been ransacked after it happened. How could I, Yu Fusheng, not be defeated?"

Yu Fusheng found it laughable. He prided himself on his strategic planning, but in the end, his trusted aides stabbed him in the back, defected, or were useless. What did he have to contend with the long-suffering Xiao family?

He was defeated by his arrogance and self-importance.

"No wonder I’ve spent so many years fruitlessly searching for the Xiao family—they’ve been hibernating in Yunzhou all along, changing their names and slowly building their forces, penetrating upwards, without me knowing anything, allowing them to catch me off guard.

What abilities could a teenage girl like Shen You’an have? She’s just a decoy put in front of the Xiao family.

Only the Xiao family could have the power to overturn the Sang Kunrou case, no one else.

Yu Fusheng was so furious his chest tightened with a metallic taste rising to his throat.

Hongyu looked at him with concern: "Sir, you must take care of yourself, and plan for the future."

"Power belongs to the Xiao family, wealth to Amos. Do you think I still have a chance?"

Hongyu fell silent.

Just then, a broadcast announced that the flight to Ge’an was delayed due to weather.

Yu Fusheng laughed in exasperation: "Now even the heavens are against me."

Hongyu gritted her teeth: "We can arrange a private plane for you to leave the country, sir."

Yu Fusheng shook his head: "The risk is too great, we can’t take the chance. I’m in the dark now, while they’re in the open; the current situation is advantageous for me."

Yu Fusheng squinted: "Go contact someone for me."

——

The Yu family’s full moon banquet ended as disgracefully as it began grandly.

The Family Head and his wife tore into each other; the Family Head was taken away by the police for investigation. The eldest daughter went mad, opened fire, and was countered, ending up peeing herself in fear. Today’s star of the banquet, the eldest grandson of the Yu family, was revealed to not be of the Yu family’s bloodline.

This series of scandals and jokes could be laughed at for three days and nights.

People now had fodder to talk about for the next month during tea time.

Shen You’an left after receiving a phone call, and everyone watched her graceful departure with mixed emotions.

Liu Runxi and Helian Yu silently left Dechang Building.

"Xixi, you’re close to her. Do you know what backing she has?"

Liu Runxi cast a faint glance at her, and that icy gaze caused Helian Yu’s heart to tighten, as if all her little thoughts and schemes were laid bare in front of him.

At this moment, Gu Bichen walked past Liu Runxi, making a phone call as he walked. His usually gloomy demeanor visibly brightened.

"Mom, I have good news for you. You and dad will be very happy to know this. Do you remember Grandpa Yu Yisen?"

Gu Bichen saw Liu Runxi, smiled and nodded politely, then walked away nonchalantly, his cheerful voice drifting into their ears with the wind.

"Grandpa Yu Yisen actually has a granddaughter alive. Do you know who it is? You absolutely won’t guess..."

Liu Runxi’s long lashes lowered, shielding his gaze, his cool aura making him hard to approach.

Helian Yu sniffed disdainfully: "That brat used to chase after Yu Ruohuan every day, showering her with attentiveness. The moment he found out about Shen You’an’s background, he immediately changed his tune. His fickleness is so blatantly displayed. How could the Gu family raise such an outrageous heir?"

After disparaging Gu Bichen, Helian Yu looked at Liu Runxi with eyes full of admiration and appreciation: "How can he compare to you, Xixi? In family background, looks, and intelligence, you are the most compatible person with Shen You’an..."

Liu Runxi had already walked away, leaving Helian Yu with a cold shoulder.
