The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 114 Misjudgment of the Situation

The piercing alarm sounded through the night sky, and my heart skipped a beat. My uneasy premonition instantly became a reality. Before we could react, a group of fully armed personnel emerged from every corner of the factory like ghosts, with their guns pointed directly at us, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

"Damn it! We are exposed!" Zhong Yuxuan cursed in a low voice, pulled Lin Xiaofeng and me up, and quickly hid behind a pile of large machines.

"Bang! Bang!" The deafening sound of gunfire echoed in the empty factory. Bullets rained down on the metal plates around us, sparks flying everywhere. I hugged Lin Xiaofeng tightly, my body trembling with fear.

"Yuxuan, what should we do? There are too many of them!" I looked at Zhong Yuxuan in horror. His face was terribly gloomy, and there was a cold light flashing in his deep eyes.

"Luo Xue, protect yourself and Lin Xiaofeng, I will deal with them!" Zhong Yuxuan said calmly, picked up an iron rod next to him, and rushed out.

"Yuxuan! Don't!" I screamed and tried to stop him, but he had already rushed into the enemy's encirclement.

Zhong Yuxuan was like a ferocious leopard, swinging the iron rod in his hand with great force, and every time he struck, he knocked the approaching enemy to the ground. However, the enemy had more people and was well-trained, and Zhong Yuxuan was outnumbered and gradually lost the upper hand.

I hid behind the machine, anxious but helpless. Lin Xiaofeng leaned against me weakly and said with difficulty: "Luo Xue... don't worry... I'm fine..."

"Lin Xiaofeng, hold on, we will be away from here soon!" I held his hand tightly and encouraged him.

Just then, a bullet hit the edge of the machine, fragments flew, and I felt a sharp pain in my arm...

The burning pain spread from my arm like an electric current. I clenched my teeth to prevent myself from screaming. The bright red blood stained my sleeves. Lin Xiaofeng widened his eyes in horror, "Luo Xue! You are injured!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine..." I tried to comfort him while enduring the pain, but my voice was so weak. Damn it! If I get hurt in this situation, I'll only become a burden to them.

"Luo Xue!" Zhong Yuxuan's voice was trembling. He fought hard against the enemies around him and looked at me anxiously. At that glance, I saw the worry and self-blame in his eyes, as if he was the one who was injured.

"Don't worry about me! Just focus on them!" I shouted at him, my voice torn apart by the deafening gunfire.

He clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, as if to suppress all his emotions, and then threw himself back into the battle. His movements became more fierce, and each move was deadly. He shuttled between the enemies like a black lightning, and wherever he went, there was a cry of wailing.

"Lin Xiaofeng, can you still hold on?" I looked at him worriedly. His face was pale and his lips were bloodless. It was obvious that he had reached his limit.

"Ahem... I'm fine... my computer..." He spoke intermittently, but his eyes were fixed on the backpack beside him.

I immediately understood what he meant. His computer contained a program he had carefully written, which might be able to help us! I endured the pain, moved to the backpack, opened it, and handed him the computer.

"Quick! Access their system and disrupt their communications!"

Lin Xiaofeng took the computer and typed quickly on the keyboard with shaking fingers. Lines of code flowed like a waterfall. Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his face looked extremely pale due to excessive concentration, but he seemed to feel no fatigue. His fingers moved faster and faster, and his eyes flashed with madness.

"It's almost there... it's almost there..." he muttered to himself. Suddenly, his fingers paused, and the code on the screen stopped scrolling, replaced by a dazzling red light.

"Damn it! They have a firewall!" Lin Xiaofeng growled, despair spreading in his eyes.

At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from Lin Xiaofeng's headphones, the tone was hurried and anxious, "Lin Xiaofeng, this is K, I have notified the police, they are on the way, you just hold on for a while!" K's voice was like a life-saving straw thrown in the stormy waves. Before I had time to think about who he was and why he knew our current situation, Lin Xiaofeng grabbed my arm and said hurriedly: "Luo Xue, we still have hope! K has notified the police, we just have to hold on for a while..."

His voice was cut off as the lights above our heads suddenly flickered a few times and then went out completely, plunging the entire warehouse into a suffocating darkness.

"What's going on?" I asked nervously. In the darkness, I could even hear the sound of my own heartbeat, deafening.

"Damn it! They cut off the power!" Lin Xiaofeng cursed in a low voice, his tone full of despair.

In the darkness, I felt a big hand holding mine tightly, conveying a reassuring strength. It was Zhong Yuxuan, and his voice was particularly clear in the darkness, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Although his voice was calm, I could feel the warmth and slight trembling of his palms. He was also afraid, afraid of losing me.

Gunshots, roars, screams, all kinds of sounds intertwined in the darkness into a symphony of death, stimulating every nerve in my body. I held Zhong Yuxuan's hand tightly, and the cold fingertips made me feel a little comforted. At least, we were still together.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the direction of the warehouse door, like the sound of something heavy being knocked open. Then, a dazzling light shone in from the door, illuminating a corner of the warehouse and the astonished faces of the men in black holding weapons.

"What's going on? What happened outside?" A rough voice sounded in the darkness, with a hint of panic.

"Boss, we are surrounded! Yes... yes..."

Before the man could finish his words, deafening gunshots rang out again, but this time, the gunshots came from the direction of the door, and the firepower was obviously more intense than before.

"Fight back! Fight back!" the rough voice roared, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the dense gunfire.

I closed my eyes tightly, not daring to look at the bloody scene in front of me. All I could hear were the panicked shouts of the men in black and the sound of bullets whizzing past.

"Luo Xue, don't be afraid, our people are here!" Zhong Yuxuan's voice sounded in my ears, with a hint of excitement and hope.

I opened my eyes and saw a tall figure standing at the door of the warehouse against the light. Behind him was a group of fully armed soldiers. They were well-trained and moved quickly. The weapons in their hands spewed out angry flames, forcing the men in black to retreat step by step.

It's Zhong Shuhao! How could he be here? My heart was full of questions, but more of them were the joy of surviving a disaster. The troops brought by Zhong Shuhao were like divine soldiers descending from the sky. The gunshots soon became sparse. Those men in black died or escaped. The situation was reversed in an instant. Before I could react, Zhong Yuxuan hugged me tightly.

"It's okay, it's okay..." He repeated it over and over again, but there was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice. I could tell it was fear.

Before I had time to savor the joy of surviving the disaster, it was interrupted by a cry of surprise.

"There's a bomb!" A soldier's voice echoed in the warehouse, his tone hurried and frightened.

A bomb?! I suddenly felt the blood in my body freeze, and my heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Zhong Yuxuan raised his head suddenly, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, "Where is it?"

"There's a time bomb in the corner of the warehouse. It's going to explode in less than five minutes!"

Five minutes?! My eyes went dark and I almost fainted. Zhong Yuxuan held my hand tightly, almost crushing my bones, but I could feel the warmth of his palm, which conveyed strength and courage.

"Shuhao, evacuate everyone!" He said decisively without any hesitation, and then pulled me towards the direction of the bomb.

"Brother! What are you going to do? It's too dangerous!" Zhong Shuhao's voice was full of worry.

"There's no time to explain, just protect Luo Xue!" Zhong Yuxuan said without turning his head, and pulled me to the bomb.

那是一个黑色的金属盒子，上面连接着密密麻麻的线路，还有一个红色的数字显示屏，不断跳动着刺眼的数字：4:32……4:31……4:30……

Every passing second seemed to be ringing the death knell. I felt like I was about to suffocate, but I could only watch Zhong Yuxuan squat down and begin to dismantle the bomb.

"Axuan, don't..." I wanted to stop him, but he interrupted me.

"Believe me, Luo Xue." His eyes were firm and gentle, as if carrying some kind of magic that made me gradually calm down.

时间一分一秒地过去，数字显示屏上的数字越来越小：1:00……0:59……0:58……我的心也随着数字的跳动而剧烈地起伏着。

With a "click", Zhong Yuxuan cut a red wire, and the countdown on the bomb suddenly stopped. The warehouse was dead silent, with only the sound of our rapid breathing.

"We succeeded!" I hugged Zhong Yuxuan tightly, crying with joy. He patted my back gently, with a faint smile on his face, but I knew that this battle was far from over.

After returning home, the scene in front of us stunned Zhong Yuxuan and I. The originally warm and tidy room was in a mess, as if it had been robbed by robbers. Everything was turned upside down. My clothes and books were scattered all over the floor. Zhong Yuxuan's study was also turned upside down, and important documents were missing.

My heart sank, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head. This was obviously revenge, naked revenge! They wanted to tell us that this game had just begun.
