Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 218 The Corrupt Culprit (3)

That snapped Jun's attention instantly.

"Involvement with Dream High?" He watched them sharply.

Yating icily said, "It's none of your business, Liu Jun."

Yunru glared at him. "Hey! Don't you dare talk to my brother like that!"

"Yunru. Calm down," Jun held his shoulder, "I don't care what shit he says to me. But if it involves Ai, then I will hunt anybody right down till hell if I have to. What is this about Mr. Gu's involvement with Dream High?"

Gu Rong gave him an angry stare. "As if I am afraid. I am the largest stakeholder of Dream High. So what?"

Jun stared at him, his thoughts immediately wandering off to what Ai had said about her past life. She worked in Dream High but never got the chance to really shine as a writer. She never got the promotions and resources she should have. Even when Jun had heard it, he felt as if something or somebody was pulling her back and hampering her career on purpose.

Jun now looked at Gu Rong with extreme enmity. _{hates Ai because he thinks she seduced Gu Yating. Is that why Ai could never…because he abused his power and held her back?}

Coming to this realization, Jun's level of rage was off the charts. Yunru sensed the displeasure and hostility seeping out from him.

"Bro, what happened?"

Jun took two steps towards Gu Rong and gritted his teeth. "You are one hell of a bastard. Tell me. Is that why Ai never got the chance to do her book signing event?"

Yating inhaled a deep breath. His heart was rattled with these doubts too. But now that Gu Rong's name was shed to light for this bribery, Yating hated his father even more if he would have anything to do with messing with Ai's career.

"Since you hate Ai so much and since you are technically Dream High's big boss, wasn't it easy for you to block that chance for her?"

Gu Rong stared at Jun in shock. "I didn't do such a thing at all! I had nothing to do with the book signing event."

Though Gu Rong knew he didn't have a pure heart.

I didn't interfere with the signing event, but if Zhou Ai would have continued targeting Yating, then I wouldn't have kept quiet either.

Jun sneered angrily. "Yeah, sure. I can see how much you wouldn't have misused your power."

Gu Rong was frustrated and confronted the judge. "Tell me, you liar! Who is feeding you money against me!? Who told you to take my name and entangle me in this mess? I will sue you for this defamation!"

He tremblingly shook his head. "I-I am not lying! It's you who sent us that message!"

"And how do you know that?" Jun asked. "Did he reveal his identity?"

He nodded hard. "He did! He wanted us to believe that we are not getting fooled by a random message from a stranger. Without a name, of course, we won't believe it and take such a huge risk…He-he said that he wanted Zhou Ai to lose so that his son will distance himself from her seeing she is unworthy…" _​

Jun and Yating narrowed their eyes.

It was impossible for the judges to know this much unless Gu Rong himself had admitted it.

"All lies!" Gu Rong's anger mixed with panic now.

"Dad. The President also knows your distaste for Ai! Didn't you tell him to keep an eye on her and our relationship?" His eyes blazed with fury. "Don't…don't portray yourself to be innocent now!" More than anger, he felt hurt by his father's betrayal. "It's as if you are an enemy of my happiness! Are you really my father!?" He exclaimed with grievance.

Gu Rong froze. He took an uneasy gasp and gnashed his jaw. "Gu Yating! How…How dare you question me like that?"

"Enough," Jun icily intervened. "I am not interested in witnessing the fight between a father and son. I just want justice for Ai, and I will have it."

"But he is lying!"

The judge jolted and tried to hide in the blanket. The doctor quickly said, "Please, I would like to ask you to leave this ward. The patient has already answered your questions."

Gu Rong pointed his trembling finger at him. "Leave? This bastard is framing me!"

Just then, two cops arrived at the scene and the chief officer said, "Let's talk about that outside."

Jun and Yunru recognized the second officer. Yunru beamed. "Yijun!"

Soo Yijun was the assistant officer in training who had accompanied the lead cop on this case. He was Soo Yunru and Soo Zizi's son. Soo Yunru was Xinyi's twin brother whereas Soo Zizi was Zhiyuan's younger sister, making Yijun Shui's cousin. Just like his father, he followed his footsteps to serve law enforcement.

Outside, Yunru jumped into his hug. "You are here!"

He coughed with his tight hug. "Yeah. Well, I came to know that Bro Nian is kind of involved in this mess," he sighed, "This makes it harder."

Jun asked, "Will Bro Nian be really in trouble?"

"He was very vocal about messing with the judges at the Summit. One of them has died, so fingers would be pointed at him," he said.

Jun narrowed his eyes. "It's not his style. If he wants to kill, then the person has no other option but to die. He doesn't leave anybody alive or half-dead if he has the killing intent."

Over the years, the cops and Underworld had come to a cooperation which involved exchange of favors from time to time, so Yijun wasn't surprised about Jun talking openly about Nian killing people, which held true for any Liu family member.

"That won't justify anything," Yijun exhaled a breath.

Yunru quickly said, "But this Gu Rong can, right!? What if he secretly killed the other judge?"

Jun answered. "That came to my mind too, but why would he leave this judge alive? Then there is no use in killing the other judge if his name is out anyway."

Suddenly, Gu Rong screamed from the other side, "How dare you take me to custody!?"
