To Love You Again

Chapter 21 - S H M

Xiong Zhi stared at the USB in her hands.

"Gu Zhen, can I borrow your laptop for a minute. I will just check one file."

Gu Zhen wanted to complain first since he did not want anyone to touch his precious laptop but remembering Xiong Zhi would gift him the treasure later, Gu Zhen let her.

Xiong Zhi opened a file, reached out her phone and took a picture of the file in the laptop. Then she put way the USB.

"Thanks, I will just make a call."

She went outside and made her way towards an open space.

She dialed a number and waited for someone to answer.

"Hello, this is Shi Hua Media (SHM)? Company. How can we help you?" A lazy voice said.

"Good morning, I'm just an anonymous person who have a big evidence in my hands towards CJ's corruption. Since I trust your company, I chose to give this evidence to you. I'll send you a picture of a certain file I have to erase your doubt. Call me back if you are interested." Xiong Zhi ended the call.

She was confident they would call back.

In SHM, three guys was sitting in the sofa with different positions. The chubby guy was munching happily while watching anime in his laptop. He was leaning back and his feet was on top of a nearby table. The thin guy beside him was leaning in his shoulder, bubble gum in his mouth, scrolling on the phone and feet was in top of the folded legs of the muscled guy in the corner of the sofa. The muscled guy had his game controller in his hands and was extremely focused on the screen not far away from him.

Suddenly the door opened and a lean man with eye glasses entered.

"Guys!! We have work to do!" The lean man said excitingly.

"..."

Silence met him. The three guy did not even bother to look at him. Then the thin man with the phone managed to split his attention.

"Whose affair?" He asked.

Their company was very low rated and poor.? They were only four employees. So these three guys expected that the job the lean was talking about was about their usual work, confirming gossip.

These four guys were the creators of SHM. The chubby guy the writer, the thin man was the camera guy, the muscled guy was the editor. And the lean man was their PR.

They were all colleagues and friends. After they graduate, they worked to different media. However, they did not like the rules their which were bribery and sometimes fake news. In other words, money was running their media. Being fed up, the four guys wanted to be a justice hero. So? they created this company. As what their company name said, Shi Hua (truth), they only release truth news.

However, after they create their own company, finding the truth in a certain issue was very hard and very expensive. Even they want to they could not dig up the matter more because of the lack of money.

That's why until now these four guys did not have a decent work. They were all releasing minor news such as trashes of the celebrities,politicians or respected businessman. Still, they were ignored and was suppressed by money.

However, these four guys became a famous group after they help Xiao Mei to spread the truth of the CJ's corruption.

That's why Xiong Zhi chose them. They were actually reliable and talented if they were given a chance to grow with proper equipments and financial support.

And that's what Xiong Zhi planned. Instead of waiting for six years to let them be acknowledge by the world, why not now?

She would not change their fate, she would just make it fast to happen.

"I'm not going to be the cameraman today. I'm too lazy." The thin guy said.

"I'm busy, Mu Fian, you're free, it's your turn to tail someone." The chubby guy said.

Mu Fian, the muscled guy, did not take ways his eyes from the screen.

"Can't you see I'm playing? Besides, it was my turn last week. It is Lin Ruo's turn now."

Lin Ruo, the lean man, got angry to these bunch of lazy guys.

"You three! I'm talking about decent work! We have to meet someone!"

"....." The three continued their lazy countenance.

"It's the matter of CJ's corruption. "

The three guys stopped. Ears perked up.

Sensing he got the attention of these three, Lin Ruo continued.

"I got a picture of the evidence. It was only a part. But it tells truth."

TRUTH

Hearing this one word, the three guys on the sofa left what they were doing.

Xian Tao, the chubby guy, closed his laptop and take off his legs on the table.

Gi Pieng, the thin man, tuck his phone in his pocket and sit properly.

Mu Fian, the muscled guy, unfolded his legs and put away the controller.

"The evidence?!" The three of them asked seriously.

Witnessing the scene, Lin Ruo was satisfied. He pulled out his phone, connect it to the screen and select a picture.

An image of the doc.u.ment could be seen. The three guys read the doc.u.ment and was instantly startled.

"Oh my!" The three of the exclaimed.

"Who called?"

"How did you get this?

"There is more evidence from that person right?"

"Did you ask them to meet?"

The three of them bombarded Lin Ruo with questions.

'This....this is a bomb!'

Just one picture was enough to cause uproar in the media.

The picture contained the accounting of diamonds of how much CJ's bought. It was not complete, since it was a picture. But from that part, once could see the amount of diamonds and anyone who can do math would know that those diamonds were imitations. What shocked them most was the bottom part of the paper. It was signed by the president himself and the auditor! They had already heard that the CEO's assistant was the culprit, mixing the true diamonds with fake. But this doc.u.ment told different things. It tells people that the president himself knew this transaction and have been doing this for long !

The three guy felt the burning passion in their hearts. They were heroes of justice! They must absolutely told the truth to the people !

"We must meet them!"

_________

Less than ten minutes Xiong Zhi's? phone rang.

With a small smile on her lips she pressed the answer button.

"Hello, we want to meet you. Please bring more evidence. We will surely make the truth known to all citizens. We, Shi Hua Media will expose CJ's corruption and crimes. Justice will prevail." The voice said dreamingly.

"En, 6pm, at XX coffee shop. I'll be wearing a uniform." Xiong Zhi did not intended to hide her identity anyway. She had plans for them.

"OK, let's see each other later. Thank you,"

Lian Ruo ended the call. He was excited. Finally!

'En ...uniform.?'

_________

Xiong Zhi put her phone away when she saw Gu Zhen running over to her .

'How about class?'

Sensing her questioning gaze, Gu Zhen explained.

"I'm more excited to the gift of yours than the class." Then he stretched out his hand.

Xiong Zhi gave him the key.

Suddenly rain poured down heavily . They both ran towards the nearby shed.

Gu Zhen took off his eye glasses and wipe it off. Lightning flash and 'snap' .

Xiong Zhi looked around.

'What was that?'

"Xiong Zhi, about the place , where are you going to take action?"

Xiong Zhi did not bother with it anymore. She faced Gu Zhen and asked.

"Is your father will be home later?"

"..yes."

"Then later."

"...."

Xiong Zhi walked away and entered their classroom.

___________

After class, Xiong Zhi keep her promise.

She waited for her driver and Linfeng. When they came she told them that she would go to her friend's house.

The driver was happy that his young miss would be normal for the first time.

'A friend's house! Not an hospital nor police station!'

Linfeng was expressionless but it did not escape in his eyes how Xiong Zhi did not look at him once.

Xiong Zhi saw Gu Zhen entered his car. She also entered her car and told the driver, Mr Ji.

"Mr. Ji followed the car in front."

'Eh...? They are really going to her friend's house , not to tail someone, right?'

But Mr. Ji dismissed the thought. He really could not understand his young miss.

Following the car, they entered a villa. When the car entered a big house. Xiong Zhi dialed a phone number.

"I'm outside your house." Then ended it.

The gate in front opened and signaled them to enter.

Xiong Zhi was about to enter the entrance when she stopped. She looked back at Linfeng who was standing beside the car.

"You're not coming in?" Xiong Zhi gathered her courage to ask him.

"Is young miss Zhi needed me?" Linfeng said with a polite tone with raised a brow. It was a friend's house. He thought there's no need for him to be there.

"I need you."

Xiong Zhi seriously said while looking at his eyes.

Linfeng's heart stopped beating. For a moment he mistaken that there was a deep meaning through her words. Then his heart calmed with the thought that Xiong Zhi just wanted him to accompany her inside.

"En ." He just shrugged it off and went after Xiong Zhi.

Both of them was welcomed by the maids. Xiong Zhi and Linfeng was lead towards the living room. In the sofa, a father and son was in heated argument.

"You must be lying! I haven't seen you with a friend! You will just go to some place with your computer ah?! Zhen, after high school you will be in army, you must focus on that not in your computer alone!"

"I'm telling you the truth dad! My friend will come today! We'll need to finish a project!"

"Then let me see that friend of yours!"

"She--" Gu Zhen saw Xiong Zhi in the corner of his eye.

"Xiong Zhi!" He called out and suddenly grabbed her. He lead her towards his father .

"This is my friend dad, Xiong Zhi. Xiong Zhi, my father."

"....." Xiong Zhi

"..." Mr. Gu

'This boy! This is how he introduce me to his friend?!'

Xiong Zhi quickly recovered. She was startled earlier that Gu Zhen would push her towards his raging father in the instant he saw her.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Gu. I'm your son's classmate and friend, Xiong Zhi.",she bowed in greeting.

Mr. Gu had no choice but to be polite for a moment. He would settle things later on with his son!

"En. How are you doing?"

"I'm fine Mr. Gu. I just come today. Because Gu Zhen said that he need you permission to work on a project with the two of us alone. I hope you don't mind."

Mr Gu was about to ask Xiong Zhi when his eye caught Linfeng. He recognized Linfeng.

" Young master Zhou? What does young master Zhou doing here?" Mr Gu knew the Zhou family. In fact all wealthy families knew them. Zhou was one of the wealthy family after all. They? were also the main reason why Xiong family was revered and feared. Mr Gu saw Linfeng who was constantly attending parties and banquets with his father since young as a training. No one could easily forget the strong presence and exquisite facial features of this young lad.

"I'm here to accompany my young miss."Linfeng answered.

Mr Gu was startled ,the only? person they comply without a doubt was the first line of Xiong family.

'Young Miss....'

Mr Gu's gaze fell on Xiong Zhi.

'Xiong ....

'This is the eldest daughter of Xiong family?!'

Xiong Zhi never attended banquet or parties in the past.

So Mr Gu did not recognize her.

Mr Gu recovered from his shocked at looked sharply towards his son.

'This boy.. He should tell me that his friend was not ordinary...in fact a Xiong...'

"Forgive my impoliteness and careless ways. I did not greet you properly." Mr. Gu showed respect to Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi just raised a brow.

'People could easily be suppressed by power.

How come I did not use it in the past? I'm really a fool...'
