Chapter 390 - Xiong Zhis Tiny Surprise Gift (1/2)

Impossible.

Xiong Wuyue could not believe it.

She stayed for a while in the South because she was trying to get the director to grant her the role on the large-scale Sino-American movie 'Lone Star', when she suddenly got the news that her father would be having his trial the next day in her home country.

She was truly shocked. When her father called a week ago, she already heard news that he was arrested for multiple crimes, one of them was an attempt murder on the head of the Xiong family. She was thrown into disarray. When her father called her, she asked about it right away in panic.

Her father clearly said that day that he could handle it, that there was nothing to worry about!

For Xiong Wuyue who was shielded by her father from the rain and storm, she easily believed that her omniscient father could get through it. After all, there were too many other illegal things which she knew her father had done, even more than the ones being charged against him. He had never been caught red-handed before. And even when he was under a threat, he would not be cornered. He had many ways to escape.

However, a day after that time when Xiong De talked to her manager, her manager immediately took control of all her gadgets and her social accounts, shielding her from any gossip and news.

They even booked a flight to a tropical island to relax.

Xiong Wuyue forgot about it and was only anxiously waiting for the role. She was finally convinced to go to the island after her manager coaxed her that they had already made the director agree for her to take the role.

In fact, unbeknownst to her, it was only a lie that Xiong De and the manager made up to convince Xiong Wuyue in taking a respite from the outside world and avoid hearing the chaotic news outside.

So within this week, the little princess stayed obediently on the beach, enjoying the sea and the breeze. It was also a good way for her to relax before the upcoming busy schedule of film shooting.

But who would have thought that in the middle of her peaceful vacation, a group of people in business attire came to her so suddenly.

It was really a peculiar sight to see a group of people in office suits suddenly surround her—who had been wearing a s.e.xy swim suit while sunbathing by the beach—and bombard her with questions.

”Miss Xiong Wuyue, what can you say about your father facing the trial tomorrow afternoon?”

”What's going on? Who are you people?!”

”We are journalists from Country C,” one person hurriedly said and followed up with a question. ”Have you noticed any changes or motive that pushed your father to attempt to murder the head of the Xiong family?”

”Miss Xiong Wuyue, did you know of any of the accusations filed against Mr. Xiong De?”

”What are your thoughts about your father's banishment from the Xiong family?”

”What nonsense are you all saying!?”

Xiong Wuyue found their questions ridiculous!

Her father facing a trial? Getting banished from the family?

What was going on?

Seeing that the titled 'Upcoming Entertainment Queen' so shocked to the point of speechlessness, unable to answer their questions, they realized something was amiss.

One of the reporters nudged his cameraman to steady the focus of the camera on the 'sweetheart' of the Xiong family's second branch. The journalist asked in a loud voice, ”What are your thoughts regarding your father facing his trial for his alleged crimes tomorrow? Given that you are relaxing here when your father could possibly receive the capital punishment tomorrow, you don't have any feelings at all?”

Xiong Wuyue's face suddenly darkened. She did not have any idea what was happening. Her father had said that everything was under control!

Then what is this? Dad, what's going on?

The journalist suddenly remembered the mysterious person who tipped them off that Xiong De's daughter was hiding here.
