The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 111: The solution fails

The other party's voice echoed in my ears again, cold and emotionless, like a call from hell. I tried to suppress my inner fear and took the phone away from my ear. The light from the screen reflected my pale face. Yuxuan looked at me anxiously, "What did he say?"

I took a deep breath and tried to make my voice sound calm. "He asked us to meet tonight at the abandoned factory in the suburbs."

Yuxuan stood up suddenly, "These damn lunatics! What do they want to do?"

I shook my head. "I don't know, but since he dared to ask us to meet, it means he has something to rely on. We must be careful."

As night fell, Yuxuan and I drove to the abandoned factory. The moonlight was pale, the street lights were dim, and my heart was getting heavier as the wheels turned. This was more like a Hongmen Banquet, and what awaited us was unknown danger, but I had no choice. For the sake of my family and Yuxuan, I had to face it bravely.

The factory gate was wide open, like the mouth of a giant beast, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap. We walked lightly into the factory. The air was filled with the smell of dampness and decay, dust was flying in the moonlight, and there was a dead silence all around, with only the sound of our own breathing and heartbeats.

Suddenly, the lights above our heads came on, and the dazzling light made us squint our eyes. A tall man in a suit stood in front of us. He was wearing sunglasses, so we couldn't see his expression, but he exuded a strong aura, and a sense of oppression came over us.

"You are on time." He took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of deep and cold eyes. "Let me introduce myself. I am the person you have been looking for."

He sneered, "I can give you what you want, wealth, status, power, as long as you are willing to submit."

The dim light in the workshop shone on his face, half bright and half dark, but it could not cover up the sinister coldness in his eyes. Wealth, status, power, these things are indeed a great temptation for Yuxuan and me, especially after we have gone through so many hardships. But I know in my heart that these are just sugar-coated bullets. Once we give in, it is equivalent to selling our souls to the devil.

"You're dreaming!" I almost gritted my teeth and said, "We will never compromise with a scum like you!"

Yuxuan held my hand tightly, his eyes firm, "We all know what you want, but I tell you, even if we have nothing, we will never become your puppets!"

“Hahahaha…” The leader suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter echoing in the empty factory, sounding particularly harsh. “How ridiculous! Do you think you still have any choice?”

He snapped his fingers and a huge screen suddenly lit up on the wall behind him. My heart sank suddenly and an ominous premonition came over me.

The screen began to play a picture. It was a dimly lit room. I recognized it at a glance. That was... that was where Uncle Lin was kidnapped! My breathing suddenly became rapid, and I stared at the screen closely, afraid to miss any details.

Uncle Lin was tied to a chair, his mouth sealed with tape, his face covered with scars, but it still couldn't hide the determination in his eyes. My tears immediately burst out, and my heart was broken.

Then, the scene switched to another room, where several elders from the family were also tied up, and their situation didn't look much better than Uncle Lin's. My body swayed, and Yuxuan quickly supported me, his eyes full of heartache and anger.

“See? These are your relatives and friends.” The leader’s voice was icy cold, like a poisonous snake, winding around my heart little by little. “As long as you are obedient, I can guarantee their safety. Otherwise…”

He deliberately didn't say anything more, but I knew that what awaited us would be even more cruel torture. The video stopped abruptly, and the screen fell into darkness again, but those scenes kept replaying in my mind. My relatives, my friends, they were all suffering from inhuman torture, and I was powerless...

I leaned weakly in Yuxuan's arms, my eyes blurred by tears. At this moment, I felt like I was trapped in a huge spider web, and no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't escape.

"Don't be afraid, Luo Xue, I will save them, I will!" Yu Xuan hugged me tightly, his tone firm, but I could feel his body trembling, and the deep sense of powerlessness hidden in his eyes. The video stopped abruptly, and the screen fell into darkness again, but those scenes kept replaying in my mind. My relatives, my friends, they were all suffering inhuman torture, and I was powerless... I leaned weakly in Yu Xuan's arms, tears blurred my eyes. At this moment, I felt like I was trapped in a huge spider web, no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't escape.

"Luo Xue, how are you?" Yuxuan's voice trembled, and I could feel the stiffness of his body.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm my panic, but the more I wiped away my tears, the more I cried. "I'm fine..." My voice was so hoarse, as if I had been walking in the desert for many days and was thirsty.

"Damn it!" Zhong Shuhao, who had been silent all this time, slammed the table hard, and the metal tabletop made a dull sound, which was particularly harsh in the empty factory. "This madman, what on earth does he want to do!"

Qin Xue's eyes also turned red. She held my hand tightly and said firmly, "Luo Xue, don't worry, we will definitely find a way!"

What else can we do? Facing the vicious criminals and our defenseless relatives, we feel like fate is strangling us, and even breathing has become difficult.

"Yuxuan..." I looked up at the man in front of me. His usually calm face was now full of fatigue and weakness. I knew that he, like me, was struggling with this unsolvable problem.

"Don't worry, I will definitely rescue them." Although Yuxuan's tone was firm, I could feel his body trembling and the deep sense of powerlessness hidden in his eyes.

"But..." I wanted to say, but what can we do? Do we really have to compromise with this devil?

"No buts!" Yuxuan interrupted me, his eyes became unusually firm, "Luo Xue, believe me, I will find a way, I will never let them get hurt!"

His words were like a faint light, illuminating the desperate darkness in my heart. Yes, I can't give up. For my relatives, for my friends, and for myself, I must try my best to live and fight!

"Okay, I believe you." I held Yuxuan's hand with my backhand, feeling the warmth of his palm, and my heart gradually calmed down.

Now, we can only take it one step at a time...

The snowflakes on the screen finally disappeared, replaced by a distorted human face. The voice was processed by a voice changer, sounding particularly eerie and terrifying: "If you want them to live, use the shares of the Zhong Group in exchange!"

My heart sank suddenly, and a chill rushed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head. This condition was almost impossible to fulfill. Zhong Group was established by Yuxuan, and he poured countless efforts into it. How could he give it up so easily?

Yuxuan's face also turned livid, he clenched his fist tightly, the veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible. I knew he was trying his best to control his anger.

"How about it? Have you thought about it?" The figure on the screen sneered, "I don't have that much patience to wait for you."

"Okay, I promise you!" I blurted out, but my voice was shaking. I couldn't watch my relatives and friends die because of my hesitation, even if it meant paying any price.

Yuxuan turned his head and looked at me suddenly, his eyes full of shock and confusion. I knew what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything, just held my hand tightly.

"Very good. A man of insight is a wise man." The figure on the screen seemed satisfied with my answer. "I will contact you again." After that, the screen fell into darkness again.

The factory was dead silent, with only the sound of our heavy breathing. Zhong Shuhao and Qin Xue both lowered their heads, their faces full of frustration and worry.

"What should we do now?" Qin Xue's voice was filled with tears.

"What else can we do? We can only take it one step at a time." Zhong Shuhao sighed helplessly, "We don't even know who the other party is right now, nor do we know what they want to do."

Yes, we are now like walking in the dark with our eyes blindfolded, and every step is full of unknown and fear.

"I will find them." Yuxuan's voice was low and firm, like an oath, "I will definitely rescue them all."

I looked up and looked at the man in front of me. His face was full of perseverance and determination. I knew that no matter what happened, he would not give up.

At this moment, the door of the factory suddenly opened, and a dazzling light shone in. Several of us subconsciously covered our eyes with our hands.

"Who?" Zhong Shuhao asked vigilantly.

"It's me." A familiar voice came from the door.

I suddenly raised my head and looked towards the door, only to see a tall figure walking in against the light.

"It's you?" I exclaimed in surprise.

The person who came was a hacker expert we helped before. How could he be here? Could it be...

"I know you are in trouble, I am here to help you." He said with a mysterious smile on his face.
