Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 219 Change Of Plans

The lead officer said, "Calm down, Mr. Gu. We are only following the protocol. Right now, you will have to come to the police station with us. We cannot dismiss the death of Mr. Wang and Mr. Zheng's testimony against you. We will question both of you to reach the truth. But till then, you will have to cooperate."

Mr. Wang was the surname of the first judge who died, and Mr. Zheng, who admitted that Gu Rong bribed them.

Gu Rong stared at him incredulously, "You are charging me with murder accusation too?"

"I am not saying it's murder. We are only covering all the angles here, Mr. Gu. It has been already proved that they were corrupt, and now one of them has died. We cannot take it lightly so until that suspicion is cleared, please cooperate with us."

Yating pressed his brow.

Things were complicated with bribery and now a murder charge too? Though he thought that Gu Rong could bribe the judges if he disliked Ai so much.

But will he really kill a warned, his hands itching to be violent. "You better don't throw a fit, Mr. Gu or it won't be good to mess with Liu Jun. And don't worry. I will see to it that you never see the light of the day. Whoever hurts Ai in any way, I will cut off that person's wings."

"You..."

The lead officer looked at Yijun. "Yijun, take Mr. Zheng's statement and also of the staff here regarding Mr. Wang's death."

He nodded.

Gu Rong was taken away despite his protests while Yating and Jun were at a standoff.

Jun sneered. "So, Mr. Gu Yating. What do you have to say about this? The one who claims to love my girlfriend so much, yet his own father has seemingly caused a big trouble here."

Yating curled his fist. He had vowed to punish the perpetrator but with his father interfering with his life first with involving himself with Dream High and now during the Summit, he couldn't feel more ashamed. He wanted to cherish and protect Ai but seeing his own family against her, stabbed his heart with humiliation.

"I wonder who Mr. Gu will protect now?" He smiled.

Yating stared at him. "There is no need to question this, Liu Jun. Ai is precious to me. Even if...even if I will have to go against my father, I will do it. If he is guilty, then I will make sure he is punished. You don't need to interfere," he left, clenching his fingers into a fist.

--

Ai was patiently waiting for Jun return when the door clicked. She hugged him. "Jun."

Jun inhaled her scent and felt the tension dissipate. He pressed his lips on her forehead. "Ai." _​

She noticed his brows easing up and asked, "What happened at the hospital?"

Jun gave the whole account to which Ai could only throw him a gaze filled with disbelief. "His father?"

"Yes. He bribed those fuckers to change the result," he gnashed his jaw. "Not only that, he is also Dream High's boss. He had the power to influence your career in the past life. Plus, he hates you because he thinks that you seduced Gu Yating. I can very well see him misusing his power. He declines having anything to do with you not getting a book signing event, but I know he pulled the strings and interfered with it! He must be behind why you never got promoted in Dream High and your career suffered such a trajectory."

Jun trembled with an urge to punch someone. He wanted to burn every single person who harmed Ai in the past life and caused her doom.

Ai kissed his chin and patted his head. "Don't be angry anymore."

He scowled. "How can I not be angry?"

"Because the past life has already gone. As for this life, his crime is exposed now, and he will get his due punishment. So, everything is fine."

Jun sighed. "Everything is not fine. Bro Nian is in a lot of trouble because of Wang judge's death. He beat them into a pulp, and one died. Though..."

"Though what?"

Jun narrowed his eyes. "Though I feel something is suspicious. Bro Nian did beat him miserably but not to the point he would die. We know how to kill people and how to not kill people too."

Ai felt goosebumps on her skin, not in fear but curiosity.

"He cannot die due to the injuries inflicted on him by Bro Nian, and as for Mr. Gu Rong...It doesn't make sense that he killed one and not the other. If he wants to shut mouths, he will kill both, not just one."

Ai coughed. "You know a lot."

Jun smiled. "I have shut the mouths of many people, so I know how it works~ But there is no need to worry. The cops are investigating and I know one of them, Soo Yijun. He is Shui's cousin. He will be questioning everyone related to the case, so we will eventually know. Bro Nian will also handle it," he sneered, "I would be more than happy to see him spend a night in jail. Good riddance for sometime."

Ai helplessly shook her head.

Jun pulled her closer and wrapped his arms around her. "By the way, change of plans."

"About?" Ai tilted her head.

"Well, you were supposed to join Sky from tomorrow officially. But Iet's postpone that for a day so that we can go to meet your parents. I did promise your mother that after meeting with my family, I would give her my greetings. I don't want to delay it."

Ai brightened. "I see. En. Mom and Dad will be very happy to meet you."

He touched his chin. "I am not so sure about that considering how our first conversation went down. What if she doesn't want me for you?"

"That won't happen. I know her. Even if it does, I will rebel," She slightly flared her nostrils, "Because I won't choose anybody else but you."
