Chapter 457 - A Daughter of A Criminal
When Xiong Zhi heard the news, she was baffled by the person's IQ.
Xiong Wuyue really had a talent for making things worse.
Xiong Zhi had not even fanned the flames, yet Xiong Wuyue voluntarily added dry wood to the fire, letting herself burn more vigorously on a stake.
#XiongWuyueGetOutOfTheEntertainmentWorld turned into #XiongWuyueGetOutTheCountry.
Xiong Wuyue once again gathered the hatred of the public.
At first, her scandals was still at the level where most people mocked and sneered at her. However, none of them really made the public want to curse her to die. Most of the people bashing her and were concerned about the scandals were the netizens and those who liked to follow trends in the entertainment world.
However, the violent evidence of her physical abuse on a weak person had truly outraged the public this time.
Raising her hand against a person who stayed to look after her and hurting her to the point that her face was black and blue, these went way below the society's morals.
Furthermore, the other party was a weak, old woman!
How could she be so cruel?
This XIong Wuyue was surely a devil who deserved to die!
Xiong Zhi looked at her phone and watched with a faint smile at Xiong Wuyue's way of digging her own grave.
What Xiong Wuyue did was a violation of human rights and morals.
She would never be able to get out of this situation. The national population's collective outrage was scarier than offending a single mighty person.
Xiong Zhi knew then that Xiong Wuyue would not be able to live peacefully in this lifetime. Well, she had no plans to let this woman live peacefully, so this was just perfect.
"Where was she now?"
She turned to ask the tall man sitting beside her on the couch.
They were currently taking a coffee break from the office affairs inside her office at the Xiong Empire's building.
"She is currently on her way to G Province," Linfeng said while holding a cup of coffee in one hand.
His other arm rested behind Xiong Zhi and his fingers occasionally played with her hair.
Xiong Zhi raised a brow.
'G Province?'
That was the place where Xiong De initially planned to serve his sentence behind bars.
She smiled faintly and snuggled beside Linfeng, who automatically wrapped his arm around her.
Because the little princess had her toy taken away, she went to her daddy to tattle and ask to take her toy back.
In your dreams, Xiong Zhi silently mocked.
She looked up and kissed her boyfriend's chin. "After her trip to G province, kindly tell her where her father is. It's better if they both meet."
She wanted to see how Xiong Wuyue would react once she saw her 'mighty' father.
*****
Xiong Wuyue met no heavy traffic and drove fast to G Province's Gangguan Prison.
It was also the first time that she drove a car for three hours straight on express ways.
Her body felt battered, but her will to see her father won over.
Looking around stealthily while pushing down her hat, she wrinkled her nose in disgust at the gloomy surroundings.
She never wanted to visit a prison. It was below her status.
However, she did not have any choice now since all servants she could order around had left.
She could only rely on herself to personally ask for her father's help.
She also wanted to tell him how much she had suffered outside, so her father could teach those people a lesson somehow.
Xiong Wuyue naively believed that her father would be able to help her get back everything she lost. Her status, her reputation, her title, and her surname. However, when she looked for Xiong De, the officer at the desk told her that there was no Xiong De in the entire Gangguan Prison.
Xiong Wuyue first thought that her father was released, but the officer's next words made her eyes dim.
"If you are looking for Xiong De, the ex-family member of the Xiong family, he is not here. He got transferred to L Province."
"L Province, where in L Province? Why is he transferred there?!"
So the hours of driving to here was in vain?
"Shangguan Prison. The reason is confidential." The officer's tone was cold and dismissive.
"Why the hell did no one tell me? You made me waste my time coming here!"
It was nonsense. A notice was naturally sent to the mansion, but Xiong Wuyue never had the mind to pay attention to the butlers' reports.
The officer frowned and observed Xiong Wuyue. He recalled the beaten-up figure of an old woman which he saw in the news an hour ago.
"You… are his daughter? The father is a criminal, and so is his daughter. No wonder you two are family."
The nearby officers also whispered to each other.
Xiong Wuyue's hair rose in anger at the officer who spoke rudely to her.
She wanted to berate him, but was afraid of the reporters knowing her location.
Also, this was a prison. If she caused trouble here, she was at a disadvantage. What if they arrest her immediately?
She swallowed the curses she almost yelled out and glared coldly at the person.
She promised to herself that these people who looked down on her would have their bad ending once she returned to her former status.
'Just you wait.'
She sneered and left.
She went to her car outside, kicked the door in anger a few times, and after taking several deep breaths, she went inside and drove her car to L Province.
It was a long drive to L Province.
She had to stop at a few restaurants for breaks. However, Xiong Wuyue was not able to eat in peace. People looked at her strangely when she waited for her food. And when she lowered her mask, despite wearing sunglasses, at least one person recognized her. Then whispers erupted and people pulled out phones to take pictures. They all looked at her condemningly and murmured behind her back.
She did not finish her food and drinks. She endured the humiliation, got up, and went back on the road. She tried stopping at a few more restaurants, but after meeting the same results, she got fed up.
Her manic anger erupted again. At a hidden corner along the express way, she screamed and thrashed in anger, venting out the fury inside her which she had tried to hold back.
How humiliating!
How she wished she could shoot all these people down!
She decided not to eat. Once she received good news from her father, she would buy a Michelin restaurant just for herself!
Finally, after a long drive and stops in between, it was already the next day when Xiong Wuyue arrived at Shangguan Prison.
It was a huge, closed area with tall walls topped with voltage wires and looked dull on the outside.
Xiong Wuyue was exhausted and dizzy, but she braved herself to enter this disgusting place.

Additional Scene:
Xiong Zhi was snuggling comfortably with Linfeng on the couch.
Linfeng was still playing on her hair, "Do you want to go to L Province and watch the show?"
Xiong Zhi just leaned on Linfeng's hard chest. The calm sound of his heartbeat was a mellow melody in her ears. She hugged his waist, "It's more blissful to spend my time here than watching her ugly face."
If it's another time, Xiong Zhi would surely go and watch Xiong Wuyue suffer with a smile. But right now, she and Linfeng were having their precious sweet moment. Their break time was only one hour, ah!
She needed to enjoy and exploit this precious time they have.
