Chapter 383 - Xiong Des doom (2/2)

”I am sorry, Sir. But if you want to make a phone call, it is better to call your lawyer first.”

”I am doing that now!”

Xiong De gritted his teeth. His butler had already fetched their lawyer. But it was taking them a long time!

He made sure to instruct his butler to ask for an elite lawyer from Guan Gao Huan. All of the elite lawyers he knew worked for the Xiong Empire. He had one or two lawyers outside in contact but they were not capable enough to take this case head on. Thus, he asked help from Guan Gao Huan.

It also served as a warning to Guan Gao Huan.

'If you don't help me out and just watch me get dragged into the pit, I will make sure to drag your name down as well!'

If Guan Gao Huan sent a lawyer back, then it meant he responded to his request.

If he could not get the best lawyer under his name, then he just needed to borrow someone's name.

While waiting for Guan Gao Huan's response, he made a few phone calls to at least calm down the rampaging media. The reporters he saw earlier almost scared him to death.

If his daughter knew the current situation... How heartbroken would she be?

After instructing his PR, he called his daughter.

”Dad!” Xiong Wuyue's loud voice reverberated.

”Dad, tell me it's a lie! My manager is telling me some news in the country—”

”Daughter, don't come here yet. Stay in the States. Father will take care of everything here, okay? Just don't answer any interview or questions from the reporters and make sure to stay inside in your house, alright?”

Although Xiong De stayed in the country to handle a few 'secret' businesses to lie low, Xiong Wuyue often flew abroad in the past two years. She made a name for herself in the entertainment circle as an international Chinese actress. It was because of the heavy investments in all those movies she joined in by the Xiong Empire. With the help of the surname Xiong, some famous Hollywood directors treated her well despite her having the role of a secondary or side character.

After the banquet last time, she immediately flew abroad to finish a certain matter. Because this time, she intended to land a major role in a large Sino-American film production.

”Dad, how about the role in the film production 'The Lone Star'? Did you get it?” Xiong Wuyue did not forget her second goal in calling her father.

The country might be going crazy with the news, but abroad, only a few people who were closely updated with the country C's trend knew of it. The news did not make much of a splash overseas, so Xiong Wuyue did not have any idea how bad the situation was.

Xiong De felt his heart become heavy but at the same time, relieved. ”No... Not yet. But I will make sure to get it. Dad will secure it for you. Just stay there. Don't go here and let me settle everything.”

Since his daughter was not throwing tantrums, it must mean that she did not know the whole situation yet.

”Alright. I'll be waiting for the good news. I want to come back to the country soon,” she pouted. ”By the way, Dad, did you manage to coax Linfeng to our side?”

Xiong De's mood was already not good and he could barely coax his daughter. How could her daughter think of other people when her own father was cornered and suffering like this?

Xiong De felt bitter and finally grew impatient. ”Not yet! Dad is busy with his own matters. Just take care. I'll call your manager soon once I'm done here.”

”...Alright.”

After the call, Xiong De felt that all of his energy was lost.

”Master.” The trembling voice of his butler was like sunshine through the storm.

Xiong De stood up instantly and asked him. ”The lawyer?”

”That is-” The butler's awkward smile made his heart jumped. Does Gao Huan rejected him?

But before he could ask that a strong and feminine voice sounded behind the butler.

”I am here.”

A woman with a voluptuous body was standing outside the detention cell.
