To Love You Again

Chapter 385 - Xiong De\'s Doom (III)

Xiong De\'s eyes turned red. He got a bad premonition. "Is it the Xiong Empire?!"

"No, Sir. It\'s a new company under the Five Kings."

Five Kings!

It was impossible for that pedantic old man to get connected with that group of youngsters.

Maybe, it was just a coincidence! Perhaps, he could take this chance and ask help from them through a deal.

His desperate mind conjured this thought.

"Connect me to them. Tell them I am willing to let them buy my shares as long as they help me out this time."

His tone was grave. Buying his shares...was the same as letting them get all of his companies.

Yet he had no choice but try it this way. What was the use of a company if he could not use it?

"Alright, sir. I\'ll contact them as soon as possible."

Afterwards, Xiong De made a few more calls.

When he returned the phone, his face was deadly pale.

In just one day, he realized that he lost a lot of things.

Not only his surname and prestige. Even his influence in politics and the underworld. His company overseas was also at risk.

He was attacked on all sides.

This person...the old man did not really give him a chance to retaliate.

He held his head. What to do?

"Mr. Xiong De, let\'s now discuss things of the \'what if\'s\'."

Bivia Chang then recited all the crimes that he had allegedly committed and the possible outcomes.

In the end, no matter how many times the lawyer in front of him predict the punishment, it all fell on the same category.

Life imprisonment.

It took her two hours to discuss things with Xiong De. And all she had said were just briefings. Her feet ached as both of them were standing.

"So far, that\'s all I can discuss with you. Do you have anything you want to say?" Bivia Chang just added the last sentence as a formality.

Xiong De could not process anything anymore and his pale face appeared to be in a daze. During this two hours, he looked like he had aged ten years.

He opened his bloodless lips.

"Guan Gao Huan—"

Bivian Chang\'s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise before it turned normal.

"He doesn\'t plan to help me, does he? Tell him then, if I fall into this pit, then I will make sure he is dragged down with me!"

The woman\'s calm eyes glanced at the butler who had stiffened. She turned silent and did not answer.

In the parking lot, Bivia Chang massaged her feet while sitting on the driver\'s seat. She dialed a number and put it into loud speaker.

"Yes?" A cool voice of a woman, the same as how she remembered, answered.

"You thick face! My feet is hurting, thanks to you."

"..." A short silence. Then the cool voice replied calmly without any ripples. "Why didn\'t you sit?"

"There\'s no chair inside his cell, we\'ll have to move elsewhere. How can I let that sc.u.m comfortably sit in an air conditioned room after what he had done to you?"

She had read the file after all. The collusion on attempted r.a.p.e was too much. If not for her professionalism, she would have punched that man and kicked the tiny sausage of his.

Sc.u.ms like that should rot in prison.

"Thanks for your concern. But I won\'t let him have a nice bed in the jail he will be staying in. Your meetings with him might be the last comfort he will ever have."

"Tsk. You sound like a saint."

Bivia Chang took out the file and reviewed the things she would discuss with that sc.u.m tomorrow.

"Do I? So how did it go? Did he throw the phone at you? Or gritted his teeth in helplessness?"

"Well, he was deadly pale. And he was able to calm himself. His phone was still intact."

"That\'s too bad." The other sounded disappointed.

"Anyway, Xiong Zhi, I found something else."

"Mm?"

"Guan Gao Huan. That man."

"..."

"You know it already, don\'t you?"

"Mmm. I got my suspicion. But my cards against him are lacking. It is not yet time to attack him."

Bivia Chang nodded. This Guan was a tough nut to crack.

But still, she was impressed.

"I will forgive you once for abusing your connections like this, putting me in charge with him. But I tell you, I am still a lawyer who follows the law."

"I\'m not letting you break any law. I am just asking you nicely to keep an eye on him." Then the confident voice added, "Besides, with all the evidence present against him, he would have no chance to retaliate. No matter what kind of ways he cooked up with. Even he admitted all his crimes, it would only result in life imprisonment."

Bivia Chang remembered the proud man\'s face paled from being hopeless. She smirked.

"Right, based on his desperation earlier, you didn\'t even give him a chance to escape. Sealing all the possible ways, you really prepared so much. How formidable.

"Thanks for the praise. Just keep on watching him."

"..."

This girl really talked to her like she was her subordinate.

However, she still answered.

"That\'s easy. No lawyer would want to take this case no matter how much his PR offered." Then she tried to poke her nose on something she was curious about, "Besides, he thought I am sent by that Guan."

Bivian Chang tried to fish out some information. She did not know exactly how that Guan fitted in the picture. But she could not ask, unless this girl let her know first.

"Don\'t think about it. They are not an easy enemy," Xiong Zhi warned her.

Aw, too bad. She really smelled deep schemes here. What a disappointment.

"Tsk. I am not putting my nose on that. I am just impressed, you managed to cut off all his routes. That Xiong De, he is really devastated, you know."

"Of course. I only move once I am sure I will win. That man has plenty of connections which took me two years to gather, just to step on him."

Two years...only?!

The heck. That patience and determination. Again, she was taken aback by this girl.

This girl...was truly impressive.

"Anyway, if you have nothing else to report, I need to hang up."

The girl on the other side seemed busy.

Bivia Chang\'s lips twitched. She actually wanted to talk more and inquire about how she managed to corner a man like Xiong De. But her pride would not allow her to ask the woman to stay on the line now that she said this.

"Fine. I will just call you if I find out something."

"Thank you."

"Oh, wait. Please say hi to Xiao Mei for me."

"Just call her."

Toot. Toot.

Bivia Chang looked at the phone helplessly.

Geez! This girl did not change at all. Just calling her when she needed help.

Tsk.

But she curled her lips and felt proud watching the girl grow up into this amazing woman.

What else could she witness by her side?

If she could witness more amazing situations like this, she was willing to be used.
