To Love You Again

Chapter 395 - Xiong De's Ending

When Xiong Wuyue 'fainted', Xiong Zhi took this as her desperate escape. Well, Xiong Wuyue fainting at her father's trial was a good headline for tomorrow. So Xiong Zhi took it and left graciously.

The next day, the news about Xiong De's verdict became the main topic of every news channel in Country C. Additionally, Xiong Wuyue's interview when she was 'hiding' at VX Island fanned the flames of Xiong De's trial.

There was even a footage when Xiong Wuyue was bombarded by the reporters and fainted in the court.

There was no mention of Xiong Zhi slapping Xiong Wuyue, or their little show. It was only mentioned that the heiress accused Xiong Wuyue of being in cahoots with Xiong De on her attempted r.a.p.e and Xiong Wuyue's absolute denial of it.

Xiong Wuyue burst into rage after watching the news. Her screams and frantic shouts in the second branch's Xiong Mansion scared the maids.

"Where is the water army?!"

The Xiong Wuyue's personal assistant was holding onto her phone. This was a very familiar situation. She broke out in cold sweat. "Y-young miss, the manager is out of reach..."

Crash! Clang!

Xiong Wuyue flew into rage again and began throwing things.

"Then what are you doing?! Go to her house! Drag her here!"

The PA immediately went away. Though, in her heart, she knew that the always punctual and conscientious manager probably had already abandoned the miss. Should she look for a faraway country to hide too?

After the PA left, Xiong Wuyue looked at her temporary butler who was shrinking at the side.

"You! Go to my father's company and look for Mr. G!"

"A-ah...which c-company?" The temporarily butler only knew the companies under the Xiong empire. But since the master of the house was banished from the Xiong family, it meant that they could not take a step inside the Xiong Empire as well, nor any of its related businesses.

Though Xiong Wuyue was still deemed as 'innocent', it would be very hard for any of Xiong De's subordinates to step back into the Xiong family's territory.

"To father's personal company! You didn't even know that?!"

The butler went away hurriedly and decided to look for it personally instead of asking the manic woman who was already spitting fire.

When she was left alone, Xiong Wuyue burst crying. She knew how to make trouble, but she did not know how to clean up the mess by herself. All of them was done by her father.

Now, with no manager and no father dealing with her public relations, everything seemed so difficult.

Xiong Wuyue felt her heart grew even bitter. She really needed to find people who could deal with that bitch soon.

But first, she needed to talk to her father.

Xiong Wuyue still believed that her father who was now in prison could still get her out of this muddy water.

*******

Amidst the chaos he had created in Country C, Xiong De's heart that was constricted by worries for her daughter turned a bit calmer when he arrived at the custodial facility.

He comforted himself that once he settled, he would get his connections back and guide his daughter to slowly enter his business.

So far, he still hasn't heard any news about his trading company and his company from the underground. He thought it was because of the less opportunity to call his assistants.

He already made a deal with the five kings. They might be foreigners, but some of them had Chinese blood and had strong connections with the higher-ups of the law department.

Even Old Xiong would find it difficult to face up against the five kings, the future monarchs of the international business world.

That was why he made a deal with them.

The deal was made like this: he would be transferred to the most luxurious correctional facility where people with strong connections but was bound to the law was sent into.

He heard from the reports of his butler that the place was cozy. They even had air-conditioner for summer and heater for the winter, complete with soft beds, sofas, and various furnitures. There were also entertainments clubs inside the facility.

As long as he was comfortable and he could send his orders in and out of the prison. If possible, he wanted to form connections with the people here and maybe even make allies.

Some people here who was originally judged to be imprisoned for their whole lives would miraculously reduce their sentence for twenty years and then to ten years.

If Old Xiong died by Guan Gao Huan's hand and the Xiong family fell into that person's hands, it would be possible.

No matter how much he hated Guan Gao Huan, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on him to destroy the Xiong family. He was banished from that family anyways. Even if the family fell, it would not affect him in the slightest.

The pressure that the Xiong family put on him through the officials would be gone.

Then he could get back up again and out of this prison. Thus, he needed to work hard to expand his resources and connections even when he was inside the prison. He would leave everything to Guan Gao Huan and to his daughter. He was sure that Guan Gao Huan would not stop coveting the Xiong family's wealth and power.

Even he and Guan Gao Huan had a fallout, he could only hope for Gao Huan's plans to be smooth so he could take advantage of the crestfallen Xiong family.

When that happened, he would take his revenge on that old man and on that little bitch.

Remembering that cold and murderous gaze, the resounding slap to his most precious daughter's face, Xiong De could feel his heart beat in furry.

The Xiong family was now his enemy.

For Xiong De, he believed that it was not his end yet.

However, when he arrived at the facility, his face fell.
