Chapter 390 - Xiong Zhi\'s Tiny Surprise Gift

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.

She followed the condition that the \'person\' wanted her to do and asked, "Or have you been hiding here while your father was being accused? Do you have connections to his crimes? As his only daughter, are you possibly in the know?"

"You\'re speaking nonsense! My father will not do those kinds of things! He is...framed! He is being set-up!"

Xiong Wuyue did not back down. She knew her father would not back down, too. So of course, her father would deny all of it.

She believed that her father would get his way out of this, just like in the past when he was accused and threatened by some small conglomerates and corporations.

However, there was still some panic in her heart.

The journalists did not give up.

"Is that really true?"

"Then why are you hiding here?"

"Why are you not staying by your father\'s side?"

"I am not hiding! I-I don\'t even know what was happening..."

Xiong Wuyue\'s mind ran. She squeezed out a few tears. "My father is not that kind of man. I am sure some people are just jealous of him. They\'re trying to sow discord between my father and grandfather. I can testify on his morality, he would never try to harm my grandfather."

The journalists exchanged glances.

"But Miss Xiong Wuyue, there had been evidences which leaked out to the media that your father tried to poison Master Xiong. And there is also the collusion on attempted r.a.p.e on the heir of the Xiong family—"

Xiong Wuyue\'s heart skipped a bit from this.

"Do you really not know any of these?"

She shook her head. "I don\'t know, but I believe in my father!"

"Then, now that you are aware of these things. Do you plan to go back to the country?"

"Are you going to remain here?"

"Miss Xiong Wuyue, are you willing to come with us? You are his daughter, so you should be there when your father faces his court trial."

Xiong Wuyue frowned at that, feeling angry and fl.u.s.tered.

At this moment, her manager came running and tried to push away the reporters. "Media is not allowed here! I am calling the security!"

"Miss Xiong Wuyue, you said you did not know any of this, so that\'s why you\'re here instead of your father\'s side. But why are you not willing to come to your father\'s trial? Are you ashamed of your father?"

Xiong Wuyue clenched her fist. She tried to push down the bubbling fury inside her.

These reporters were truly despicable! Her father already warned her not to come. So why would she come? For her father\'s trial, she naturally cared about it, but not to the point of exposing her face and smudging her hard-won reputation!

Her father would also not want that!

The manager\'s face showed a fierce expression and called the security right away.

One of the media men still kept on talking. "After we broadcast this, if you don\'t come tomorrow, what do you think people will think of you? That you are an unfilial daughter? Or you are cowardly hiding, ashamed of your father? So do you truly believe that he was guilty after all?"
