Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 730 - 313 Sin Debt

"Sir, there’s no way to find any information about Sunny. His identity is classified internationally."

Yu Fusheng’s face darkened. "So, there’s absolutely no way to deal with him?"

"Sir, Sunny’s confidant, Lan Xiping, is still in Hua Country. Right now, he’s practically in our grasp, but..."

Yu Fusheng frowned and looked at him.

"A few days ago, at the Leng family’s banquet, this Lan Xiping was brazenly following Amos around. Do you suppose there might be something between them...?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Amos again. What exactly is he trying to do?"

Yu Fusheng thought for a moment before speaking. "Handle the Second Brother’s matter first. Set the other issues aside for now. You’ll personally handle this—be cautious."

The secretary left the study. By the next morning, the sky was ominously gloomy, Wansui Mountain shrouded in mist, and the whole world held an air of desolate and bone-chilling cold.

"Secretary Han."

Han Li looked up. Standing at the foot of the steps was a tall man wearing a guard uniform.

"Captain Wu."

Wu Jun, the guard captain of Four Seasons Manor, was responsible for all the security operations at the estate.

This man was the most exceptional talent selected from the Azure Dragon Army’s assault team, and he was also Yu Fusheng’s most trusted confidant.

Wu Jun stepped forward and said, "I need to report to Sir directly regarding the fire in the rear mountain on New Year’s Eve."

Han Li looked at him. "Was there something unusual about the fire?"

Wu Jun hesitated, as though he was about to say something, but Han Li received a phone call, abruptly cutting him off.

When Han Li returned after the call, his expression carried a hint of urgency as he spoke hurriedly, "The matters and people of the rear mountain end here. Don’t bring it up again. Sir has been very busy lately; it’s best not to disturb him unnecessarily. I have other matters to attend to—I’ll be heading off now."

With that, he left quickly.

Wu Jun watched Han Li’s receding figure, his brows furrowing tightly.

As Four Seasons Manor’s guard captain, the rear mountain naturally fell under his jurisdiction.

The conditions around the rear mountain were harsh, and none of his men were willing to be stationed there.

Because the identities of the people in the rear mountain were kept secret and couldn’t be exposed, Wu Jun had no choice but to forcibly assign guards.

The elderly couple living there—one disabled, the other blind—were trapped by the dangerous suspension bridge and heavily guarded mountain passes below. Given their circumstances, escape was absolutely impossible.

Thus, two guards were sufficient for the job.

Occasionally, during his patrols, Wu Jun would see the dilapidated courtyard perched on the cliff in the rear mountain—isolated and forgotten, as though the world had abandoned it.

He had long known the identities of the elderly couple.

He felt a sense of duty to his post but also an unspoken twinge of pity that remained hidden from others.

On New Year’s Eve, a fierce fire had erupted in Silent Garden. By the time Wu Jun arrived, it was too late.

The fire burned through the entire night. By dawn, there was nothing left but scorched ruins.

There were no corpses in the wreckage.

This was particularly odd.

Near the woods beside Silent Garden, he found two guards passed out drunk. In the freezing snow, had he arrived even a moment later, they would’ve truly frozen to death.

The two guards recalled that Doctor Zhu Keke had delivered wine and food to them, and in their moment of carelessness, they had caused this grave error.

In the woods, Wu Jun also discovered a person nearly buried by fallen snow—it was Guo Cui, the servant responsible for caring for the elderly couple.

Logically speaking, after surviving an entire night exposed in the snow, her fragile condition should have made survival impossible, yet she clung to life. Upon being rushed to the hospital, she narrowly escaped death.

Wu Jun tried to extract information from her, but strangely, Guo Cui’s throat was damaged, rendering her unable to speak.

Examinations revealed that she had ingested a kind of toxic herb, which had permanently destroyed her voice, with no possibility for recovery.

Guo Cui was illiterate and couldn’t write, so asking her to record her experience was out of the question.

And so, the trail went cold.

But this only served as proof that the fire on New Year’s Eve had not been accidental. If it was deliberate... It was exactly why he came to report to Sir immediately.

Han Li’s warning lingered in his mind, leaving Wu Jun conflicted.

Currently, the greatest concern within the Yu family was the grave illness of the matriarch. As a dutiful son and grandson, Sir would surely have no inclination to concern himself with the elderly couple in the rear mountain.

Moreover, Han Li’s words strongly hinted that Sir no longer wished to hear their names mentioned.

Still, as guard captain, Wu Jun’s instincts told him that the fire and disappearance might mask a conspiracy. How could he turn a blind eye?

Zhu Keke had been recruited by Housekeeper Wei, and she was undoubtedly connected to the mistress of the house.

With this thought, Wu Jun turned and headed toward the mistress’s courtyard.

Wei Zhuhua, the mistress, hadn’t rested well the prior night. By morning, her spirits were low as she sat by the window, staring absentmindedly at the snowy landscape outside.
