While inside, Li Xue has already made her decision. Her eyes held the firmness as it stared at the front at the news-hungry crowd. She felt a little guilty knowing how Lin Xinyi had already asked her to be careful of them but she still failed to follow her words.
Though at the moment she doesn't regret her carelessness, she did feel a little nervous thinking of the consequences. On one side there was her concern for her daughter that was above everything while the other side was her fear. Fear to face the crowd of crazy reporters once again.
"Li Xue, hold yourself up. You have to do it. You have no other choice. You can't just give in to anyone's plans. If you give in then from the past, you won't make much difference." She said to herself. Her fists clenching on her sides while ambers flaring fire full of determination and confidence.
While she was bracing herself with firmness, outside at one yell of the person, everyone got on alert. Scrambling on their feet, they all rushed to capture the first glimpse of the woman. The cameras flashed blankly, ȧssuming the arrival of the woman from the direction of the gate. They didn't want to miss the very first sight of her.
But after just a few minutes, their wish get fulfilled as they caught the glance of her appearance. But that glance of her appearance was so short that none understood what happened. Their sight was being blocked all suddenly, almost making them blind with blackness everywhere. The movements were too swift to come to their understanding at the very first second.
It took a few fractions of minutes for them to understand that it was not them going blind of the sight. But in actuality, a team of men, dressed in formal black has appeared all of a sudden from nowhere blocking their sight from the front.
"Move away! Allow us to go forward."
"What is happening? Who are these people and why are they blocking our way like this?" Someone in the crowd asked while trying to make way to walk ahead of the men. But however, he tried to pry their arms to get ahead to reach Li Xue, he was simply not able to.
Similar to him, others also tried the same but none was helpful. The men ahead were simply not of their league.
"They seem to be some group of trained bodyguards. But for whom are they here? Are they here to protect Li Xue?" Another speculated, looking at the stiff, well-built bodies of the men.
"How could that be? We have seen the bodyguards of Li Xue before. They are not the same. Furthermore, which modeling agency do you think are capable of such bodyguards? They look no less than the group trained as an army. Definitely, they can't be here for her".
"But if not for her, then why are they blocking our way. Look even after hearing us they are not allowing us in any way"
"Seems like this school really has some rich family kids studying. Since the bell of the school has already rung, these people must have come to escort the young heir of some rich family of the city. Let's wait and see. Once the kid is escorted, I am sure they will move and we will be able to interview Li Xue. After all, this is the only way and she would not be able to pass as well."
While at the same time at the front, Li Xue was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of the people. Her gaze suspiciously scanned the men standing at her front while her brows knitted with some contemplation. Thinking something inside, her fist as well curled up on the side, ready to charge forwards at them. But just at that moment, someone's arms came to wrap around her waist to halt her in her action.
Feeling captive in those pairs of arms, she was ready to offer a ruthless back kick as well but the voice near her ears comforted her.
"It's fine. I am here. Don't worry. These are our people. Calm down!"
And just with that voice, Li Xue stressed nerves calmed down. Her pulsating heartbeat was relaxed while she slowly turned to look around at the man that appeared out of blue in a blink of an eye.
"WeiWei …" She uttered the moment her eyes matched with the greys of Feng Shufen. Tears mixed with nervousness and fear at once getting on the edge of her eyes, ready to roll down on one command.
"Shush … I know. Don't worry, we will find her soon. First, get out of here. Come!" He said, ċȧrėssing the back of her hand to soothe her anxiety inside.
Li Xue nodded and soon Feng Shufen escorted her to the car where Qi Shuai and Feng Yi Lan were already waiting for them.
When Feng Yi Lan saw Li Xue appearing near, she got down the car immediately to hug her to comfort her. "Sorry, dear. I got late. Luckily the shadow bodyguards were around you". She said.
"Shadow bodyguards?" Li Xue asked, a bit confused. To which Feng Yi Lan nodded.
"Yes, the one that blocked the sight of reporters there for you."
Li Xue looked behind but then remembering something she reverted her gaze back at Feng Shufen immediately, opening her phone to show something crucial. "WeiWei is …"
But before she could even begin, she heard Qi Shuai immediately rushing to interject. "Shufen, we have found Li Wei. She has been taken away by the people of Pan Hong. Look here. I am sure taking back Pan Hong must be their attention". He said as he came forward to show a video on his phone.
Confusion flashed in the eyes of Li Xue as she as well came to look at the screen of the phone asking with some uncertainty. "Pan Hong?"
Qi Shuai nodded. "Yes. Pan Hong! The man who was way behind Shufen's mysterious car accident, five years back. Since we have caught him, his people are plotting dirty to get him back. But you don't have to worry Xiao Xue, nothing will happen to Li Wei. Not until we have that man in our hands. "
