Xia Shao was stunned and frowned slightly. %&*";

Are there reporters at the school gate

Zhan Ruonan understood Xia Shao's expression as soon as he saw it, and immediately cursed: "Fuck! Someone leaked the secret! Who is this?"

Zhan Ruonan glared and glanced at the people in the cafeteria with a fierce look. The students suddenly didn't even dare to whisper, they all shut up, with innocent and confused expressions, not knowing what was going on.

Zhan Ruonan was still angry when Ali snitched at the school gate last time. Since then, Ali has not been seen on the campus of Shengye Girls' High School. Zhan Ruonan hated traitors deeply. Some time ago, there had been rumors in Shengye Girls' Middle School that Xia Shao was a disciple of Tang Zongbo. Later, because of the weekend holiday, someone dug out the previous reports and found that the appearance was different, and then it gradually stopped.

However, this matter had been making a fuss in the school for a while, and there was no guarantee who had spread it as gossip. The reporters found out about it, and then they blocked it at the school gate.

Qu Ran's reaction to these things was always slow. Then she looked at Xia Shao with wide eyes, "In other words, it's not Xiao Shao who admitted his identity, but who tipped him off? What should we do?"

Xia Shao smiled, calmly and calmly, pressed Zhan Ruonan on the stool next to the dining table, and said, "Don't worry, you guys eat first, I'll go out for a while."

Xia Shao walked out of the cafeteria alone. When she walked to the door, several girls came in together. They were discussing something in a low voice with their heads down. When they looked up, they saw Xia Shao coming out. They immediately became silent, but they couldn't hide their surprise when they looked at her.

How good is Xia Shao's ear? When they met, she could already tell that several people were talking about reporters gathering at the school gate. It seems that some students already know this.

After leaving the cafeteria, Xia Shao did not stop, but walked straight to the school gate. Students along the road heard the news and went to the school gate to watch the excitement. The greenery of Shengye Girls' Middle School is very good, with beautiful trees planted on both sides of the school gate. Xia Shao took shelter inside and stopped when she was near the school gate.

I saw that many students had gathered at the school gate, and a large door blocked the reporters out. There were quite a lot of people coming. The school guard persuaded the reporters to leave, but the reporters refused. When they saw students gathering, they used flash lights to conduct interviews loudly through the school gate.

"Classmate, may I ask if there is a famous classmate Xia Shao in Class 3a?"

"I heard that she transferred from mainland China and is a disciple of Master Tang. Have you heard about this?"

The girls who were asked were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other with their mouths wide open, but they did not dare to answer easily. Xia Shao's reputation in school is so great, not to mention how good she is in fighting, she is also followed by Zhan Ruonan all day long. If Zhan Ruonan is angered, it will be very miserable.

Moreover, didn't someone bring newspapers to the school before to prove that Master Xia and Sister Shao are not the same person? Why do these reporters come to ask these things

The girls didn't answer, but their expressions clearly said something. The reporters raised their cameras and flashed the reaction of the students inside the school gate.

Xia Shao lowered her eyes gently in the forest. The sky had darkened, and the mottled tree shadows obscured her face, making it difficult to see her expression clearly. She took out her mobile phone and was about to call Liu Banwang when her phone rang.

Xia Shao took a look and saw that it was Liu Banwang calling.

"Chairman, I just received news that your identity seems to have been exposed! Now many media have gone to the school gate. Are you okay at school?"

Xia Shao raised her eyebrows slightly as she listened to Liu Banwang's urgent voice, "Did you just receive the news?"

"Yes." When Liu Banwang said this, his voice was obviously angry, "It's too much to bully! These people should know that I know you, so they blocked the news very tightly about this matter! I actually had no information beforehand. They didn't get it either, until Liuzi and the others just came back from the airport and said they were confirming Qu Tao's arrest. When they got on the bus, they saw reporters from two weekly magazines winking at each other, as if something was wrong. Liuzi was smart and went over to find trouble and push them around. At that time, a bug was installed on one of the people, and then I realized that several media outlets had received the news yesterday!"

Xia Shao raised her eyebrows slightly. Liu Banwang and the others usually went out to run gossip news, and they were very professional. They were so good at installing bugs on people. But this only made Xia Shao smile and focus on the important point, "Yesterday?"

"That's right. Chairman, did you offend anyone at school? I heard that the news came from a classmate in your school. Even the class and name were revealed to Hong Kong media weekly. I heard that many informants were also involved. Fee. Although it can be said that the other party broke the news for money, the time yesterday was a bit sensitive.%&*";" Liu Banwang said.

Xia Shao smiled appreciatively upon hearing this. Liu Banwang has been in the media industry for many years and his acumen is indeed good.

There are rumors in the school every day or two. Even if some students broke the news to the media out of excitement, fun or money, it should have been spread long ago. Normally, Xia Shao wouldn't care, but yesterday...

Yesterday was when she went offline. Ada Real Estate and she were counterattacked by Qu Tao, and there were voices of doubt and criticism everywhere from the outside world. This person wanted to expose her at this time, which shows that he had bad intentions.

Just imagine, what would happen if she did not make a desperate counterattack today, but was still under criticism and her identity was exposed

"I understand, don't worry about it. The other party is just wasting their efforts." Xia Shao lowered her eyes and said, then hung up the phone.

Isn’t it a waste of effort? Now that things are about to happen, even if her identity is exposed, it will have no impact on her plan.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Shao originally wanted to call the principal Li Boxu, but he didn't expect that tonight was a coincidence. Before the number was dialed, Li Boxu called.

It turned out that the guard at the school gate saw that more and more people were gathering in the school and the reporters refused to leave. He was afraid of causing further trouble, so he called Li Boxu decisively. Li Boshu was not sure if all this was arranged by Xia Shao, so he called her to ask.

Xia Shao smiled and said, "If I really wanted to reveal my identity, I wouldn't let these reporters come to the school at this time to surround me."

These reporters received the news yesterday and only came this evening. It must be because they have been so busy these two days. I really have to pity the person who broke the news because all his efforts were in vain.

"Can the principal please tell the reporters that the school has no knowledge of this and will give the media a satisfactory answer after investigation." Xia Shao said with a smile, "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble again."

Li Boxu laughed after hearing this, said it was okay, and then hung up the phone. Xia Shao was in the woods when she saw the guard answer the phone and then handed the phone outside the school gate. The reporters asked a few questions on the phone and looked at each other.

Xia Shao put away her phone, turned around and walked back. Halfway through, I met Zhan Ruonan, Qu Ran and others who were coming over.

Xia Shao was stunned and asked, "Are you full so soon?"

"Who still wants to eat! The food in the cafeteria is terrible." Zhan Ruonan frowned, "The news has been spread to the cafeteria, can you be exposed now? Is there any trouble?"

"A few days ago, it would have been a little troublesome, but now it doesn't matter." Xia Shao smiled, ignoring the surprised looks of the girls coming from the canteen, and smiled and called Zhan Ruonan and Qu Ran back to eat.

Although Zhan Ruonan ate in the school cafeteria at noon, he still had a disdainful attitude towards the food in the cafeteria. Tonight, because a large number of reporters blocked the school gate, she could not go out. During the meal, Zhan Ruonan was filled with resentment, "Damn it! Let me have one more meal like this! Let me know who is eating it, mother." Bury her in the food jar in the cafeteria!"

Qu Ran was drinking soup and almost choked. Xia Shao was calm, looked up at Zhan Ruonan with a smile, and shook her head helplessly.

The atmosphere in the school changed that night. The rumors that had just died down suddenly became a sensation again!

Reporters are here, how can it still be fake

Although the students couldn't figure out why the photos were different, the rumors were just like that, and the more they spread, the more true they became. Xia Shao's dormitory was obviously at the end of the corridor, but some people would "pass by" inexplicably and poke their heads inside.

Qu Ran was not used to this, but Xia Shao was as leisurely and calm as ever, reviewing, attending classes, and continuing to do three things.

Her focus was not on these things at school, but outside of school.

After Qu Tao was arrested, public opinion was turbulent. Although the murder cases in the early days of his establishment of the real estate company were so long ago that the evidence was difficult to find, it could not be completed in a day or two. However, due to the huge attention, the police department is also under great pressure, and the latest progress of the investigation will be announced from time to time.

As some past incidents were dug up, many incidents involving Qu Tao hiring thugs to disturb the people over the years were also brought up again. These things have not been mentioned before. Even when Century Real Estate was involved in a Feng Shui scandal some time ago, many people took it to court, and Qu Tao used some connections to delay the matter. But now, Qu Tao is arrested and the hozens are scattered. No one dares to help Qu Tao at this time for fear of being dragged into the water. Even Hong Kong Media Weekly was exposed due to the arrest of Qu Tao, which had helped him build momentum over the years. It was facing great pressure from public opinion. Who would dare to follow in the footsteps of Hong Kong Media Weekly

Once the obstacles are gone, the case will be handled much more smoothly.

As civil and criminal cases were filed one after another, Century Real Estate's reputation was seriously damaged. Under the wave of public criticism, the stock price fell.

Naturally, Xia Shao wanted to acquire Century Real Estate after its share price dropped to the limit. But this time is different from the time in the mainland. There are many real estate companies in Hong Kong. Taking advantage of Qu Tao's loss of power, many people are eyeing the big cake of Century Real Estate.

The storm in the real estate industry has reached its final stage. The pattern of the three pillars of Sanhe Group, Jiahui Group, and Century Real Estate in the real estate industry is obviously going to change, but I don’t know how it will change.

A business weekly reviewed and estimated the situation of the real estate industry and believed that Sanhe Group and Jiahui Group have a great chance of taking up Century Real Estate's share. As long as two international consortiums take action, other real estate companies will have no hope. Although Ada Real Estate has good momentum, with Feng Shui masters as consultants, it may develop as rapidly as Century Real Estate. But judging from the current financial resources of Ada Real Estate, it is impossible to acquire Century Real Estate.

Although, the downfall of Century Real Estate is attributed to Ada Real Estate.

But competition in the shopping mall is like this, with intrigues and intrigues, and in the end it still depends on financial resources. Otherwise, it is just a marriage for others.

Although some economic scholars have published articles that believe that the supporters behind Ada Real Estate are obsessed and may not have the strength to compete. But most people just laugh about it. The backers behind Ada Real Estate have invested more than one billion in it, can they invest more? No matter how powerful they are, do Sanhe Group and Jiahui Group have strong financial resources

Besides, weren't there people who speculated before that the Sanhe Group was behind Ada Real Estate

Therefore, public opinion overwhelmingly believes that Century Real Estate is more likely to be swallowed up by the Sanhe Group.

But there was no movement at all from the Sanhe Group. Not only Sanhe Group, but also Jiahui Group has no intention of acquiring it.

If these two companies don't move, other real estate companies will not dare to move.

Everyone is waiting and watching.

During this period, Century Real Estate's stock price fell again and again, hitting the limit five times in ten days!

When the stock price fell to the limit for three consecutive days, Xia Shao, who was attending class on an unquiet campus, smiled and picked up her mobile phone.

She called Emily and instructed, "You can start."

After putting away her phone, Xia Shao raised her head, looked at the clear sky in the morning, and smiled.

Today happened to be Christmas, and she had promised to spend the holiday with her senior brother.

Xia Shao originally wanted to take a day off, but thinking that all the fun Christmas programs were in the evening, she simply took the evening and the next day off. After class in the evening, she told Qu Ran to go to school. Go to the door.

Xia Shao didn't even bring any books this time. She just wore her school uniform and walked briskly on campus with a smile on her face. The students who were coming and going turned around and talked in low voices when they saw her. The comments that reached Xia Shao's ears were nothing more than speculations about her identity as a Feng Shui master.

Xia Shao smiled slightly and ignored it. She was focused on the school gate, thinking about where to spend Christmas with her senior brother tonight. But it was precisely because her mind was at the school gate. When she was about to reach the school gate, Xia Shao accidentally noticed a sneaky figure in the woods next to her!

Xia Shao stopped and looked into the forest. The person who exposed her to the outside world has not yet been found. Although this person has not caused any real trouble to her, with such thoughts, if she finds out who it is, she will naturally not let him go. Therefore, Xia Shao always pays special attention to the sneaky people around her these days.

Seeing this figure, she decisively followed Lin Zi.

The girl was wearing the uniform of Shengye Girls' High School. Xia Shao's steps were light and she didn't notice. After following up with Lin Zi, Xia Shao found out that she was being careless and that this girl was not following her. She sneakily came to the school wall and cautiously poked her head out to look out. Xia Shao followed her gaze and looked outside, and found that Xu Tianyin's car was parked outside, and there was a gray Porsche parked next to his car. There were two men who looked like bodyguards standing next to the car. The two men were looking at each other. Looking into the school, it seems that he is waiting for someone to come out.

The girl immediately squatted down and touched her head along the school wall.

Xia Shao raised her eyebrows slightly. Since this girl was not following her, she had no intention of meddling in other people's business. But when the girl turned around, she saw her appearance clearly.

An innocent face, childish face**.

Dong Zhiwen.

Is it possible that the Porsche belongs to the Dong family

Xia Shao remembered that Dong Zhiwen once approached her, hoping that she would be her bodyguard for a day, help her get rid of the bodyguards at home, and let her go out and play freely for a day. I remember she said her birthday was in December, could it be today

What a coincidence, tonight is Christmas Eve.

Although Xia Shao didn't hate Dong Zhiwen, she even thought this girl was quite innocent. But she didn't want to get involved in her affairs, so she turned around and planned to leave.

But just when Xia Shao turned around, she accidentally saw Dong Zhiwen's actions, and she was still stunned.

The wealthy daughter of a board of directors, a girl who usually looked weak and powerless, actually reached deep into the campus wall and climbed up the wall on tiptoes.

She... Was she going to climb over the wall to hide from the bodyguards at home

But Dong Zhiwen obviously had not climbed over the wall. She climbed up clumsily, and her knees rubbed against the wall. The pain immediately caused her to cover her knees and look like she was about to shed tears. But she still insisted on climbing up, poking her head like a thief to look at the position of the bodyguard in the distance, and then struggled to climb over the railing on the wall.

The railings above the fence of Saint Mary's Middle School are shaped like stone arrows and are beautifully carved, but they are not easy to flip up. Dong Zhiwen stepped back clumsily and carefully, almost missing out several times. When I finally made the jump, the corner of my skirt was suddenly scratched by the railing and pulled violently! Dong Zhiwen exclaimed, lost her balance, stumbled backwards, and was about to fall!

There is a stone sidewalk outside the school, and it is on a slope, and the height is not short. If you fall backwards like this, if you fall on your head, the consequences will be disastrous!

Xia Shao's hands and feet reacted faster than her brain. She rushed over almost instantly, climbed up the wall as soon as her toes touched it, and grabbed Dong Zhiwen's hand! At the same time, she pressed her hand on the railing of the fence. She was not injured by the stone arrows above. Instead, she used her strength to climb over the railing, and landed outside the campus with Dong Zhiwen in a light posture!

Dong Zhiwen's eyes widened, suddenly in danger and suddenly safe. Xia Shao's speed of appearance and agility had already stunned her.

However, Xia Shao pulled Dong Zhiwen and ducked behind the tree, narrowing her eyes and saying, "You are too courageous. You dare to climb over the wall even if you are not good at it. If I hadn't happened to see you, you would have to lie in the hospital for a while."

Dong Zhiwen was still in shock, but her eyes burst out with surprise and admiration, "How amazing! You turned over so easily!"

Xia Shao shook her head speechlessly and thought to herself that this girl was really well protected by her family. Is now the time to praise her for her awesomeness? She should be afraid, right

"Thank you, thank you for saving me." Dong Zhiwen smiled and thanked Xia Shao, and secretly poked his head out to take a look in the distance. Just now, Xia Shao was so fast that her bodyguards didn't even notice.

Little did she know that Xia Shao's agility was one factor, and another factor was the tall redbud tree planted beside the road, which blocked the view over there, so no one noticed her.

"Are you really planning to go out and play by yourself?" If it were anyone else, Xia Shao would never ask more. But Dong Zhiwen and Xia Shao really doubted whether she could guarantee their own safety.

Facts have proved that Xia Shao's suspicion was not wrong.

"It's okay, I'm bringing my wallet." Dong Zhiwen smiled innocently, took out her wallet and waved. But when she smiled, her brows wrinkled slightly.

Xia Shao's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked at her with open eyes, "I suggest you go back with your bodyguard. You will be robbed when you go shopping alone tonight."

Xia Shao didn't want to waste time with her senior brother, so she simply told the truth.

Dong Zhiwen was stunned. How did she... know that she would be robbed

Dong Zhiwen looked at Xia Shao and suddenly his eyes widened. She also knew the rumors in the school. Could it be that Xia Shao was really the Feng Shui master? How else would she have seen it

Her eyes were full of surprise, but she bit her lip. Today is her eighteenth birthday. She has been looking forward to this day for a long time. She has always wanted to live a day of freedom by herself...

Xia Shao shook her head. She finally saw that Dong Zhiwen looked weak, but in fact he was a person who would not give up easily if he made up his mind. So he said to her: "Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. If you insist, then don't go to the mall tonight or take unfamiliar alleys. I'll say this. The decision is yours. I hope you are a smart people."

After saying that, Xia Shao turned and left, walking towards Xu Tianyin's car.
