Chapter 358 The Lion Moves



Unwilling to give up, An Moxue began to keep a close eye on Zhou An. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind: she couldn't directly point to the deaths of Zhu Zhen and An Muyang, but she could take a roundabout approach!

So, besides keeping a close eye on the development of events and Zhou An, she also studied the factional issues among the various important figures in Kyoto every day.

That day, she sent out more than a dozen letters, all of which were printed and could not be found even by checking her notes. The letters, envelopes and stamps were all bought by her in Kyoto before. After all, she bought them by the stack and still had a lot of them in her storage space.

After she finished doing all that, she saw that Zhou An's black market had been shut down and a large amount of money had been found, and she felt relieved.

That day, after paying her respects to An Muyang and his wife, she bought a train ticket back to Feilong Province and left.

She thought, with so much evidence of Zhou An's connection to Zhu Zhen, his political enemies wouldn't be so incompetent as to let him remain firmly in his high position, unshakeable!

After all, they're all scheming and plotting; everyone has their own tricks up their sleeve!

Especially since she had given the letter to more than a dozen big shots, and the letter even specified who she had written to. Based on this alone, they couldn't turn a blind eye. As long as they investigated, he would definitely be demoted!

This trip to Kyoto can be considered a complete success.

An Moxue bought a train ticket and left in a carefree manner, but the Lion Independent Regiment was in an uproar after hearing about the deaths of Zhang Xiangdong and the others, especially after the rumors spread.

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Jing immediately contacted Xiao Nanqi, the current leader of the group. The two of them gathered all the core members of the Lion Group, especially those who had a good relationship with An Muyang before his death, leaving no one out.

In the conference room of the Lion Independent Regiment, Zhang Jing looked at everyone and said, "Have you all heard the rumors about An Muyang and his wife killing six people in revenge?"

The people below all nodded in agreement.

Then he continued, "Commander Xiao was transferred from another place after Commander An's sacrifice, but our old folks all know that many of the things circulating outside are true. What do you think we should do?"

Xiao Nanqi spoke up: "We absolutely cannot sit idly by. We have to go and see those people and the blood letter, and find out the truth about An Muyang and his wife. This is an excellent opportunity, otherwise even our Lion Corps will be looked down upon."

He was transferred here later, but he had to admire the An family of three. Like father, like son; that's exactly what they were like.

Shen Mingcheng, who was very capable in combat, spoke up: "Yes, I agree with what the commander said. Let's use the fact that this matter involves the sacrificed An Muyang couple as a reason to intervene openly and legitimately. No one can say anything about it. Let's see if we can find out anything from the deaths of these people."

"Rumors spread like wildfire, and I think they should be taken seriously."

"Yes, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone is manipulating things behind the scenes, and we cannot ignore the power of public opinion."

“Our previous investigations were forced to stop due to some resistance, so this is a good opportunity to reopen the investigation.”

"Commander An and his wife are truly wronged. They will have no face to see Mu Xue until the truth is found."

"We need to add fuel to the fire and let everyone know more of the truth. We can't let the hype die down. Who is this person? Well done!"

Everyone glared at him. Some things are better left unsaid! Was he just asking for trouble by letting a petty person know? Was he brainless?

He just chuckled foolishly, not angry at all.

......

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, but they all shared the same goal: to get involved in this matter and not stand idly by. They wanted to take this opportunity to see if they could uncover the truth about An Muyang and his wife's affair, otherwise, they would break the hearts of many people.

Since everyone agreed that an investigation should be conducted, Commander Xiao began to assign tasks.

After discussing and deliberating, everyone quickly made the arrangements, then the meeting adjourned and everyone went about their own business.

Zhang Jing always reported matters concerning An Muyang to Chief Guan immediately, and this time was no exception.

He left the meeting room and went straight to Chief Guan.

Actually, he also had a question mark in his mind and wanted to find the leader to confirm it.

In Chief Guan's office, upon seeing Zhang Jing, Chief Guan immediately asked, "Is it about An Muyang?"

"Yes, leader, do you think we can take this opportunity to find out the truth?" This matter is a pain in the hearts of every comrade who knows that there is an injustice, especially Zhang Jing. He and An Muyang and his wife have been friends for many years. Back then, An Moxue was not even born yet! They had entrusted each other with life and death.

"It's hard to say, but it's an opportunity. Hasn't your group taken any action?"

"Boss, I just finished a meeting and came to report to you. I wonder if there's any news about Mo Xue? How is she doing?"

Chief Guan looked at him with an expression that said, "Don't try anything funny," and said to him in an annoyed tone, "Don't worry! She's on a secret mission right now and isn't in the country."

He seemed unconcerned about being seen through, and said, "Then I'm relieved."

"Tell me, what are your plans?"

“We are all law-abiding citizens, so of course we should intervene in accordance with the law and conduct normal investigations. We cannot believe in those superstitious behaviors and statements.”

"Hmm, not bad. However, the Lion Independent Regiment can't just act on its own. We have to move everyone we can, especially the four remaining survivors. Shouldn't we re-investigate them, especially the people and events related to the case back then? No matter where they are now, we can't let them go."

"Yes, I will follow your instructions." Zhang Jing bowed respectfully.

"Boss, tell me, who has such great ability to accomplish this major task so quietly?"

Commander Guan replied irritably, "Didn't they say that An Muyang and his wife came back to take my life? This matter is not only the talk of our Kyoto Military Region, but I also received several calls from other military regions this morning! They all asked me what happened. I want to know what happened too!"

Zhang Jing immediately knew that it must be his superior's other comrades taking the opportunity to mock him. They couldn't even protect their own people, and so many years have passed since the wrongful death of An Muyang, who was a legendary figure who was famous throughout several military regions and was the object of so many people's desire back then.

He didn't dare ask any more questions, hurriedly said goodbye to his boss, and left the office.

He was the only one who suspected who did it, and so was Chief Guan.

However, those six people were no ordinary individuals. How they died and the process were crucial, which is why the Lion Independent Regiment wanted to get involved.

He needs to think carefully about what else he can do to move this matter forward.

However, before he could even process what was happening, and while the investigation was still ongoing, another bombshell dropped: Zhu Zhen had been suspended from his duties and was under investigation for his involvement in Kyoto's underground black market operations, acting as its protector and accumulating a large amount of wealth.

This bombshell hit him hard, and not only did he think it was related to the matter between An Muyang and his wife, but Chief Guan thought so too. But who was the person who arranged this series of events?
