Chapter 30 - 27: The Glare (1/2)

[The CJ's submitted a public apology this morning. They stated that they will provide refund to their customers and will cooperate fully in the investigation. However, many board of directors of CJ's already flee in other countries making the investigation difficult. According to the team leader of the investigation, they have sufficient evidence in their hands for the next week trial. Meanwhile, the CJ's transaction are all frozen until the trial. ]

Xiong Zhi was reading the news in her phone while waiting for her P.E class. It had been days since the case of Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei haven't contacted her. The surgery of Mrs. Ping must be at hand that's why Xiao Mei could not contact her.

The coach entered and she put her phone away. They were in the junior gym's school. A ten-minute drive from their building.

The coach instructed them that they were playing basketball. Girls could watch while the boys played first.

Having no friend, Xiong Zhi sat alone in the back area of the benches. She just watched in front while deeply thinking of something.

It's almost a month since she was reborn. Her building company was already accomplished. She's just waiting for Xiao Mei to introduce her personally to her CEO and IHZHI. After briefing them, she would just wait for her company to boost. Her deal to Gu Zhen could wait. There's still a year. She was still avoiding the beast and they haven't met, which is good for her. Her enemies haven't introduce their selves, but she was ready to face them. She might not have a close relationship to her grandfather but they were good. Seems like everything was good so far.

But what she was concerned the most was Linfeng.

She did not know how she would approach him. Did she had to push him in the bed first and made him be responsible for her? Like what she watch in ancient dramas? Or did she had to write love letter and had a slow romance like what she read in the romance novels? She....she did not know.

This was the first time she felt love. First time loving someone. If it's in the past, she wouldn't care. But now, her first priority was Linfeng. In those days she had spent with him in this second lifetime, she felt that she was becoming far from him. Like he was...guarded...there were walls around him. But no matter what, she would climb those walls. She promised in this second lifetime she would do everything to spent her life with Linfeng.

Prrruuuuuu

A whistle broke out her thoughts . She looked at the source . The couch clapped after he whistled.

”Good! Gu Zhen! I thought you can't shoot with those thin arms of yours. But you just did it! Nice shot! Thinking of joining my basketball team? We can welcome you, three-point shooter.” The coach said to Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen took off his glasses and wipe them before putting on.

Snap!

Xiong Zhi looked for the source of the sound.

” Thank you coach. But I only played basket ball whenever I'm free. Unfortunately, I'm not that free. ”, Gu Zhen said and smiled.

Snap!

'That sound again!'

Xiong Zhi was sure this time that it was not an illusion. She had heard it clearly. She looked around.

'Where are you?'

Then at the corner she saw a shadow peeping back and forth to the court.

Xiong Zhi curled up her lips.

'Found you!'

She then ran at the back and circled around the area. When she arrived at the corner where the shadow was she slowed down her steps.

She was facing the figure's back. Xiong Zhi examined the person in front of her. That person was also wearing a junior's P.E uniform like her. The person's head was covered in a black shawl. She could not identify the person's gender.But she could guess it was a girl. The person was holding a camera and she looked like she was taking pictures. She was muttering something.

Xiong Zhi step forward to the girl to hear her words.

”Oh my, oh my,...”

”My husband look so hot..”

”Kyaaa...he is really good..”

”Come on, look here look here...kyaaa....good shot!”

'Eh...? She doesn't seem like an enemy...but a stalker instead...'

”Ahem.. ” Xiong Zhi coughed loudly. She was curious was this girl doing, and also she wanted to confirm something with this girl.

The person jolted in shock due to the sudden sound behind her. Her hand slipped and all the pictures she had just captured were all littered in the ground. Thus, exposing the pictures. She quickly crouched down and collect them one by one in a very fast move. Before a minute passed, the pictures was already in her pocket. Her camera was hanged around her neck.

Xiong Zhi who had a sharp eyes saw it clearly. Those pictures....every one of them had a picture of Gu Zhen in it!

Xiong Zhi looked at the girl who were putting the pictures in a very careful manner to her pocket. She was right. The person was a girl. She was also wearing a dark eye-glasses covering half of her face. But Xiong Zhi still recognized her, she was the girl in the cafeteria, who broke the plate, and also one of her classmate.

”Song Xuantin, are you stalking Gu Zhen?” Xiong Zhi asked the obvious. She just wanted to make sure, because she wanted to confirm if the glare she always felt was also from her or to other hidden forces.

(A/N: hidden forces XD I know I just wanted to laugh )

Song Xuantin stopped for a moment.

'How...how did she know?! Im wearing disguise! Even my maid doesn't recognize me! She must be bluffing!'

With that thought she composed her self and chin up.

”I'm not Song Xuantin. You're mistaken me to someone.”

Xiong Zhi looked at the girl. Then her gaze lowered somewhere in her chest and stared at it. Then looked at Xuantin's face again.
