To Love You Again

Chapter 15 - Xiao Mei

Xiong Zhi entered the car. The driver looked at her in the mirror and waited.

Waiting for what? For their next destination.

Xiong Zhi took off her cap and said.

" Funggen City, Zongyang Law Firm."

The driver started the engine but his mind run again in different directions.

Now, a Law Firm?! Did our young miss really got in trouble? But when? Where ? How ?

The gossipy driver carried on driving.

When the clock hit 5, they arrived at a tall building.

ZNJ (Zongyang National Justice)

Xiong Zhi went alone in the building and looked for Zongyang law firm.

She went to the third floor and approached the receptionist.

"Excuse me, where is the office of Ms. Bivia Chang?"

"Oh, lawyer Chang, do you have an appointment today with her?" The receptionist said with a troubled expression.

Xiong Zhi pondered if she was going to say 'yes' to make it faster or just be honest.

"Actually , I have some important matters to discuss with her. Can you please tell me where the office is?" Xiong Zhi decided to become a good child.

The reception let out a sigh of relief. Then she said.

"Actually Ms., Lawyer Chang is not here she's on leave. She will return to work next week."

Xiong Zhi furrowed her brows.

'Next week. What a waste of time.'

"May I know where Lawyer Chang might be? Maybe I can meet her outside her office. It is very important."

"Ah, yes. Lawyer Chang is on funeral right now. "

Xiong Zhi eyebrows arched slightly.

So that's why she had not heard the news and could not help her (her target)? in the past...

"Oh that's why. May I know which funeral hall they went to? "

"It's ok. It's not a secret from us. I heard they were in Vista Funeral Hall in Quangdong? City. Actually it is Prosecutor Huo's family having a funeral right now. But Lawyer Chang is in relationship right now with Prosecutor Huo. So you know, as a girlfriend Lawyer Cha---"

"Thank you. I should go right now." Xiong Zhi bid goodbye to the ranting receptionist. She had a feeling that if she stay more she would be delayed by this gossipy receptionist.

Xiong Zhi went out of ZNJ and dove straight away to the car.

The driver who were drinking while listening to music almost choked out when he saw Xiong Zhi.

So fast....

"Vista Funeral Hall." Xiong Zhi did not waste any words.

This time the driver choked out the water in his mouth.

Funeral?!

He just guessed it but now it came true.

(A/N : refer to chapter 10 , still remember? )

***[RR]: wait, just gonna check. You really want to make it harder for me?(?_?)***

The driver drove in the city towards VFH while his mind running again.

The sun was already settled for a day when they arrived at VFH.

Many people wearing black suit and dresses came back and fro towards the hall.

Xiong Zhi entered the building. She was looking for Bivia Chang. She knew what she looked like because she saw it in the news in the past.

She looked around. In front was the altar and a picture of an old man. Beside the frame lines of incense were smoking. Below was table full of foods. Beside the altar, rows and rows of white flowers with family names attached to it.

She looked at the sits in front. On the farther corner chair in the first row, a young woman in her early twenties wearing a black suit and dark skirt was sitting. Her black hair was tied in a bun, her white neck was exposed. She sat with posture even with a gloomy aura.

Xiong Zhi walked in front in the altar and burned an incense. She kneeled, put together her hands paying respects for the old man while bowing her head.

The moment she was done, a middle aged lady came to her. She wore a black funeral dress and her hair was tied up. Her hair was a little bit in disarray and her eyes were a little puffy. When she smiled to her it was warm but with a little bit of sadness.

"Thank you for coming. Can I know this little lady's name giving respects to my father?" The lady asked with gentleness.

" My name is Xiong Zhi. I'm no relative. But I have my friend here." Xiong Zhi said truthfully. Seeing the lady smile, her cold heart warmed a little causing her to trust the lady.

"Oh, still I thank you for coming. Seeing a beautiful young woman as you visit my father he would be happy." She chuckled a little but it did not reached in her eyes.

"May I ask who's friend are you? "

"I'm a friend of Xiao Mei. I,came here for her behalf. She can't come because of an emergency. I hope you don't mind."

"It's ok. I understand." She smile slightly.

"I'm sorry for your lost." Xiong Zhi said in a soft voice.

"Thank you for coming here. Come, child , let's seat." The lady said pointing at the vacant chair.

"No need, ma'am. I will not stay longer. I will need to talk to Ms. Bivia Chang. Thank you for your concern." Xiong Zhi said.

"Ohh, it's ok. Bivia is in front." She smiled to me and lead me in front.

The woman I saw earlier saw us approached. She stand up and patted the lady gently in the back.

"Aunt Quo, I'll assist the visitors. You should rest first a little." The woman said.

She was tall, more tall than Xiong Zhi. Her eyes were beautifully surrounded by thin and long lashes, it was slightly curved up at the edge, made her eyes sharp and profound. Her bridge nose was high like her posture and her thin red lips that was shut looked like a smart mouth. Her white skin was beautifully contrast in the black suit she was wearing.

"Thank you, Bi'er. This guest knows you. I leave her to you then." The lady smiled and walked to the people who just have arrived.

Lawyer Chang turned to me.

"Well, I don't know you. And you doesn't seem to be here to just pay respect. What do you need from me?" Lawyer Chang said directly. Her sharp eyes scrutinizing me.

"I need to talk to you about Ms. Xiao Mei."

Lawyer Chang oppressive aura suddenly gone replaced by a worried expression.

She had been contacting Xiao Mei for a week now. But she did not give any response. When she went to their apartment there was no one there even Granny Ping. She wanted to inform her best friend about the death of their friend's granddad.

Seeing that someone came here to inform her the whereabouts of her friend, she really got worried.

'Not a bad news please....'

"It's a bad news. A very bad one." Xiong Zhi said expressionlessly.

Lawyer Chang said her thoughts out loud. She clear her throat while clearing her head.

Very quickly she said,

"Let's talk outside."

In the parking lot, where they were only the two of them and the lamp post, Lawyer Chang faced Xiong Zhi and said stoically,

"You better not lying . I will record everything. If you lie, even you are underage, I will make sure you will stay in prison. You understand? "

Xiong Zhi looked at the woman, she really was a lawyer with a defensive and offensive aura.

But she liked it. No need to waste words, no need to waste time.

Xiong Zhi took out her phone , type something and gave it to Lawyer Chang.

CJ's controversy : Fake diamonds? Secretary Xiao Mei the mastermind

(A/N: refer to chap 8. Xiong Zhi was scrolling news at that time, she encountered this. )

Lawyer Chang sharp eyes grew wide, incredulity could be seen. She even zoomed the article. The article was just written two days ago.

"H-how...it can't b-be...she will n-never do that...t-this...she was framed up!"

"Lawyer Chang was really sharp. But that is not the matter here. Ms. Xiao Mei is in prison for a week now." Xiong Zhi did not beat around the bush.

"What?! How come she didn't tell me?" Then Lawyer Chang stop for a moment then she gritted her teeth and her gaze become menacing.

" C..J..'s! They even block her for communicating. They would probably not give her a choice for the lawyer."

Xiong Zhi lips curled up slightly. She like this Lawyer Chang. She did not need to explain much.

Lawyer Chang suddenly stop her fuming and looked at Xiong Zhi with suspicious eyes.

"I appreciate you telling me this, but who are you? How is this related to you?" She inquired.

If Xiao Mei could not contact them for help then how this girl knew? More importantly, how did she know that she was related to Xiao Mei? She never saw the girl even in Xiao Mei's friend circle. And why she was doing this?

It's not a bait isn't? If it is then they are all foolish.

She was Lawyer Bivia Chang. A famous lawyer working in many big corporations. Even they were a big company they would be foolish to offend a woman like her who had many connections. Besides, those big companies gave importance of her, why? Because she knew their dirty secret.

With this thought Lawyer Chang looked challengly at Xiong Zhi.

"My name is Xiong Zhi, how am I related to Xiao Mei you'll know later. But we must discuss the matter first. " Xiong Zhi had no choice but to tell the truth. This lawyer in front of her was sharp and have many resources. It would only took her a week or days to know her real identitiy.

"Xiong? Are you related to Xiong family of imperial city?" Lawyer Chang asked this jestingly. She did not really thought that this girl would be related to the one of the most powerful and wealthy family- Xiong. Since Xiong family owned the Xiong Corp.One of the top 10 big company internationally.

Besides, there would be no way this girl a Xiong. If she was she would be surrounded by guards and expensive cars.
