To Love You Again Avalondra 36420K 2022-07-22

The whole C Country, whether in internet or in real life, was full of Xiong Wuyue's atrocities. She was ruined to the point that she would never be able to mix in the world without her name being cursed.

Her father's tragic ending created a huge impact on Xiong Wuyue spiritually.

If she still had a shred of hope or confidence before, now she lost it all. When she dazedly found herself back home without miraculously getting into an accident and seeing the empty mansion, she only stared blankly, utterly empty.

She soullessly walked to her room. It was unknown how long she stayed that way, but she finally noticed that her phone was blinking. She sluggishly took hold of her phone.

Silence.

After reading several emails, fear slowly seeped into her blank eyes. Her face was pale, akin to a ghost.

They were letters from lawyers. She also read a subpoena notice from the court.

Some people no longer chose to bear with what she had done to them and filed lawsuits one after another against her. It started from the explosion of the violence and physical harm she imparted to the old woman.

Then other artists who had previously suffered terribly due to Xiong Wuyue finally mustered courage to put Xiong Wuyue into jail. Their lives and careers were ruined because of Xiong Wuyue's whims, thus, their grudges were big.

Seeing that Xiong Wuyue no longer had the previous halo of being a Xiong and now that her father was inside the prison, they used this golden opportunity to attack Xiong Wuyue.

This also uncovered more of Xiong Wuyue's cruel acts.

There was once a very promising artist who just made a debut and showed incredible talent in acting.

However, unexpectedly, that artist disappeared shortly from the public's eyes. It turned out, the former artist had committed suicide due to depression after getting humiliated and stepped on by Xiong Wuyue horribly.

The family had found the artist's diary.

There, the one-sided bullying and oppression done by Xiong Wuyue was detailed out, with slightly smudged tear stains on the pages.

The family then discovered that the former artist had offended a terrible and powerful person.

They wanted to find justice, but after several attempts that were successively pressed down, and when the brother of the former artist even met an accident that almost broke his leg, they became fearful and finally kept silent.

Now, they no longer had to fear the powerful backstage behind this person.

After this became known, everyone was horrified.

Suddenly, various microscopic conspiracy theories erupted, given that it was not only one artist who 'disappeared from view' after encountering Xiong Wuyue.

Thus, Xiong Wuyue received several lawsuits of varying degrees.

When she saw how many people were looking to put her into jail, she was terrified.

She remembered the prison she just visited, her father's pathetic appearance, his tears, and the horrible stories he spoke of.

The dark eyes on her pale face were unreadable.

She stood in stillness inside the dark mansion.

On that day, Xiong Wuyue disappeared.

She left her mansion and her garage full of cars behind.

The lawyers and the court waited for her response, but failed to receive any even when the deadline arrived. When the police finally issued a warrant and entered the dark mansion, they saw that it had already been abandoned for almost a week.

This was discovered by the media and released to the public.

It incurred the wrath of the entire C Country who had been watching the progression staunchly.

How could they let such a wicked person escape?

She did all those corrupt and evil acts so bravely, yet was now escaping when she had to face the consequence of doing so!

Thus, the outcry of the public and the people who filed the lawsuits added pressure to the police on finding Xiong Wuyue. Her act of evading the court subpoena simply worsened the tables for her.

The public outcry did not lessen but grew worse after a few days without any news.

The police finally received a warning from the alarmed leaders, thus, they officially issued a wanted suspect label on Xiong Wuyue.

Xiong Zhi had just finished her dinner meeting with partner companies for ArtWorld in the high luxury hotel of Xiong Empire and was on her way up to her private suite with Linfeng, when he suddenly reported that Xiong Wuyue had been labeled as a wanted criminal.

Xiong Zhi paused and her brows slightly rose.

Heh.

She wanted to applaud Xiong Wuyue once more.

Truly, she was happy that Xiong Wuyue was so eagerly self-destructing for her.

It really saved her effort.

In reality, those charges could still be solved by a top-tier lawyer and a great amount of settlement if she had faced it properly.

However, because Xiong Wuyue's low IQ was frightened of the possibility that she might suffer the same fate as her father, she escaped right away, instantly making an enemy out of the country's police forces and judicial court.

A faint chuckle escaped her lips.

Without someone staying by Xiong Wuyue's side, she was like a headless chicken who dashed right onto the butcher's knife.

Xiong Zhi sat down gracefully on the couch inside the luxurious presidential suite, facing the view of the city below.
