Strike Back, Proud Goddess!

As soon as Tang Xi and the Director of Foreign Language Studies walked out the teaching building, the director stopped, looked back at Tang Xi and said with a smile, "Student Xiao Rou, if you have something to attend to, just go about your business. Come to me when you're done."

Staring at the director who was smiling at her affably, Tang Xi asked incredulously, "How do you know I have something to deal with?"

Glad that he had guessed right, the director replied with a smile, "Look at your face. You must have something urgent to deal with, so just go, but right now there are a lot of journalists waiting at the school gate. You'd better not go through there."

Tang Xi nodded. The journalists must have find out that she was studying here, so they came here to wait for her. With this thought in mind, Tang Xi thanked the director, "Director, thank you. If it weren't for you, I couldn't have left so successfully today."

The director waved his hand with a smile. "It's nothing. Besides, I know you're a good student. Next month I will arrange a test for you. If you pass it, you can skip to the third grade. I know, with your ability, you could even be admitted to a university, but it's not yet the time for university recruitment."

Tang Xi thanked him again with a smile and walked quickly towards the outside of the school. As expected, she saw many journalists waiting at the gate. She frowned, looked at the school uniform she was wearing and turned around with a sigh. At this time, she suddenly glimpsed her head teacher, and her eyes lit up as she quickly ran over to greet him. "Mr. He!"

He Mu'an frowned when he saw Tang Xi and he inquired, "Xiao Rou, shouldn't you be in class now?"

Tang Xi replied, "I'm not feeling well. Could you take me out of the school? My brother is waiting for me outside to take me to the hospital, but there are too many journalists at the gate now. If my brother picks me up now, he may become surrounded by the journalists, so could you please do it instead?"

Hearing Tang Xi say she was not feeling well, He Mu'an immediately asked nervously, "What's the matter? Did you get sunstroke because of the hot weather?"

Tang Xi sighed. Mr. He, that's not the point, okay?

"No, my brother will take me to check it out," Tang Xi said. "Many journalists are looking for me now because of what happened last night, so I would like to ask you not to tell those journalists my identity and cover for me, Mr. He."

He Mu'an, of course, had also seen the news. While he sympathized with the experience Xiao Rou went through, he also appreciated her approach on the matter. She was not agitated and neither was she complaining, which was an attitude very few young people could manage to adopt nowadays.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, leave it to me. I'll help you get those journalists away. You can go to the doctor with your brother and you don't have to come back to school today. I will help you ask for leave."

Tang Xi smiled and thanked him, and Mr. He walked toward the school gate.

He Mu'an couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw a dense mass of journalists over there. The journalists were truly dedicated nowadays. The sun was scorching hot and yet they were still waiting in the sun, not even hiding under a tree. Mr. He walked past them silently and walked to a crossing nearby, where there was a luxury car parked there, Mr. He shouted out loud, "Student Xiao Rou, why don't you go into the school since you're already here? Why are you staying in the car?"

That car was a Rolls-Royce Phantom and Qiao Liang happened to own one. Xiao Jing had once driven a car of that model to pick up Qiao Liang from the airport, which was photographed by a journalist. At that time, a lot of journalists had reported that Xiao Jing, owning a Rolls-Royce Phantom, was an "invisible rich man". Now, seeing the car, the journalists all rushed forward without any hesitation, running to the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Seeing the journalists being led away by Mr. He, Tang Xi gave him a thumbs-up in her heart, and then she quickly rushed out of the school, got into the car, started the engine and drove away.

Although she didn't have a driver's license right now, she wouldn't be caught by the traffic police as long as she drove safely!

After passing two fork roads, Tang Xi pulled over, took the mask and hat from the car, and ran into the nearby central park. She found a big tree and sat down under it. Then she turned on the system and called for 008. '008, come on, tell me more about Kloss!'

[System: My cute little princess, please wait a moment.]

Tang Xi was not happy to hear 008 call her that, because she was really worried about Xiao Yao.

She now truly took the Xiao Family members as her own family, so she cared about them. She had never had this kind of feeling before. Unexpectedly, in just two or three months, she had changed from that calm, indifferent and even a little cold Tang Xi to this Xiao Rou who would care about a lot of things…

Thinking of this, Tang Xi took a deep breath. Maybe the living environment could really change a person.

Covering her slightly aching heart with her hands, Tang Xi suddenly thought that she hadn't treated Qiao Liang well before… She had never really cared about his situation but only cared about her happiness when she was with him…

Trying to suppress the thoughts in her mind, Tang Xi read the data provided by 008.

[System: Name: Kloss•Leicester; Gender: Male; Personality: Vicious, malicious and capricious; Age: 35; Identity: Drug lord of Golden Triangle, the fifth most wanted man in the world.]

Tang Xi frowned and asked, 'What else?'

[008: Little Xixi, I know you are worried about your brother, but your current Martial Points are really low. Don't worry about your brother. Worry about yourself…]

008 rarely talked to her like this. Tang Xi's heart sank and her anxiety reached a climax. She reached out to her headset and put it on, pretending to be on the phone. She asked in a deep voice, "Is my brother in danger?"

[008: Of course he is. Your brother is in danger every time he carries out a mission.]

Tang Xi said coldly, "I mean this time! Is there danger this time?"

[008: I'm sorry. I don't have the foresight to know what's going to happen in the future.]

"Send me there," Tang Xi said coldly. "I'm going to help my brother!"

[008: How can you help? How are you going to help?]

"Didn't you give me two hours a day?" Tang Xi looked resolute. "I must stay with my brother. Maybe I can save his life with those two hours! I'm really worried about him this time!"
