Chapter 391 - Xiong Zhi's Tiny Surprise Gift (II)
The manager finished calling the security and lashed out to the person who spoke.
"You don't have any right to force my talent on what she needed to do! You are invading privacy. This is against work ethics! Which company are you from? If you don't stop your slander, I will send you our lawyer's letter."
"How can you sue us? This is already a scandal that caused a public outcry! If Miss Xiong Wuyue keep on hiding here, is it not the same as telling the world that she is guilty as well!? Her reputation would hit rock-bottom and you won't have the luxury to sue us!"
The reporter was adamant on having Miss Xiong Wuyue return to Country C. After all, they would receive a big reward from that 'mysterious person' if they managed to accomplish the conditions.
Not to mention, Xiong De had already fallen out of favor from the Xiong family's graces.
The manager gritted her teeth. She had talked to Xiong De and knew the situation. She also watched the news and saw the articles against him. There was no way that Xiong Wuyue's father would leave this case unscathed. Especially since they were against the head of the legendary Xiong family. Just why the hell did her employer offend such a person?!
If the manager did not receive a huge amount as compensation, and was expecting to get the other half of the amount after the case was done, she would not stay at this mad woman's side at all.
Fortunately at this time, she spotted the security running to them.
"Wuyue, calm down. Let's go back. The security is already here."
Xiong Wuyue also turned around. Even though she was extremely angry and panicked inside, she would not allow a mere reporter to provoke her.
However, the reporter was not finish yet.
"It was said that your grandfather and the heiress Xiong Zhi will come to the court trial. Are you sure you want them to misunderstand you, that you're possibly in collusion with your father and have a falling out with them? Are you prepared for the consequences?"
Xiong Wuyue's inverse scale was touched. Hearing Xiong Zhi's name made her see red and her blood boil.
So that woman was enjoying her father's plight, huh?
Fine! I want to see that bitch's ugly face scrunched up in disappointment when Dad turns the situation around!
Xiong Wuyue halted on her steps for a few seconds. Then she turned to them.
She took a breath and smiled tearfully. Her pale face appeared pitiful. "You are right. I don't want grandpa and my cousin to misunderstand me. I also want to cheer up my father who was framed up. I hope the truth will come to light tomorrow."
The manager paled visibly at Xiong Wuyue's words.
F**k!
They were doomed! Clearly doomed. It was not too late for her to just take the money and run away from Country C, right?
****
A plane flew from one side of the globe to the east, landing on Country C.
Linfeng had already arranged everything needed for Xiong De's case. Now, they were all waiting for the show to come.
Seeing the figure coming out of a luxury car, Linfeng recognized the woman who was covered up from head to toe.
Xiong Wuyue.
Good. The bait was caught.
He discreetly followed her as she secretly sat on the last row of the seats in the judicial hall. The media had not noticed her yet since the trial already started.
A short time later, Xiong De finished confessing his crimes, pleading guilty to the court.
He glanced over at the target.
The woman on the last row clearly was shocked and horrified, her whole body stiff.
The corners of Linfeng's lips rose. Too bad, he did not bring his camera with him. If he had it, he could have recorded the whole thing and let his Young Miss take a look. He had known before that one of his Young Miss's joy was to bully a certain father and daughter pair. He did not know the exact reason before but now he could guess.
Linfeng fished out his phone and reported the good news to his dear Young Miss.
"Young Miss, Xiong Wuyue is already here."
The other line turned silent, then her cool voice which held a hint of joy sounded. "That's good. Let's start it, then."
Linfeng ended the call with a gentle smile. A few seconds later, he dialed and called someone, his eyes turning serious and cold.
"Release the interview footage."
He ended the call, stood up, and began to walk out of the hall, his frigid eyes watching Xiong De being escorted to the back door.
His fingers dialed on the phone once more.
Before he completely left, the surprise gift of his Young Miss should be given at this time.
"Start it. Last row, in a black dress, mask, and sunglasses."
His voice just ended when a person from the media shouted loudly.
"Miss Xiong Wuyue!"
All of the people turned to look at the place where the man was pointing at.
The horrified and pale woman stiffened when all eyes zoomed on her.
At this time, Xiong De who was being escorted out stopped and looked involuntarily at the direction where everyone's eyes were at.
He saw his daughter surrounded by blazing eyes, like predators closing in on a small prey.
*****
(A/n: For Xiong Wuyue, Xiong De was a superman who could do every bidding of hers. So when her father said, 'you don't have anything to worry about', she thought of the past where her father never failed to get away unscathed from danger. So she truly believed that he could get through it.
And by the way, I mentioned 'Lone Star' right? This was actually one of the characters in one of my novels that wasn't published yet, but still, for the sake of advertising I will give you a heads up. The title is 'Your Song is My Melody: The Lone Star and It's Night.' Once TLYA finished, I will announced the whole plot then.)
