Chapter 457 - A Daughter of A Criminal (2/2)

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.
