The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 115 Bad Situation

When I got home, I couldn't be happy no matter what. Zhong Yuxuan held my hand, but the warmth of his palm couldn't dispel the haze in my heart. The originally warm home was now completely unrecognizable, as if it had been ravaged by an invisible beast. My heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and I could hardly breathe.

"How dare they?!" Zhong Yuxuan gnashed his teeth. He was always calm and self-controlled, but now he could not hide his anger. I fell weakly on the sofa, looking at the mess on the floor, tears blurred my eyes. Those photos scattered on the floor once recorded every bit between him and me, but now they seemed to be mocking my naivety and powerlessness.

"Don't be afraid, Luo Xue, I will protect you." Zhong Yuxuan held me in his arms, his arms were warm and strong, as if they could protect me from all the wind and rain. I held the corner of his clothes tightly, trying to draw a little strength from him.

Just then, Zhong Yuxuan's cell phone rang, and the caller ID showed it was Zhong Shuhao.

"Axuan, are you and Luo Xue okay?" On the other end of the phone, Zhong Shuhao's voice was full of anxiety and worry.

"We're fine, how are you doing?" There was no emotion in Zhong Yuxuan's voice, but I could feel the uneasiness deep in his heart.

"We were attacked, but luckily we had bodyguards here, so Qin Xue and I are fine." Zhong Shuhao's voice was filled with a hint of fear, "Ah Xuan, it seems we really angered them this time, so we have to be more careful next time."

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Yuxuan's face became terribly gloomy. He held the phone tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly.

"Shu Hao and Qin Xue were also attacked." Zhong Yuxuan's voice was low and hoarse, "It seems that our actions have completely angered them."

My heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran straight up from the soles of my feet to my heart. We were like prey trapped in a spider web, and the spider hiding in the dark was slowly tightening its web.

I know that a bigger storm is coming, and Zhong Yuxuan and I have no way to retreat.

The night outside the window was dark, like a huge black curtain, pressing down on me. Zhong Yuxuan's face looked even more stern in the dim light, and his deep eyes flashed with a resolute light.

"We must take the initiative." He broke the silence, his tone firm, "We can't just sit there and wait for death."

I understand what he means. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. If we continue like this, we will only be passive. We must find their weakness as soon as possible to completely get rid of this nightmare.

"But what should we do now?" I felt confused and helpless. "They are so powerful that we are no match for them."

"We still have a chance." Zhong Yuxuan held my hand, his eyes firm and confident, "We have obtained the formula for the antidote. As long as we can develop the antidote, we can completely destroy their conspiracy."

His words gave me a glimmer of hope. Yes, we still have the antidote! As long as we can develop the antidote, we can save those who are controlled by them, and make those who hide in the dark pay the price!

"Okay, let's work together!" I raised my head, my eyes full of determination.

Zhong Yuxuan nodded and began to plan the next action. He contacted the top medical experts, formed a special research and development team, and worked day and night to develop the antidote. At the same time, he also secretly contacted Interpol and provided them with all the information we had about this mysterious organization, hoping to get their help.

In the following days, we kept spinning like a top, and every day was tense and fulfilling. Although I couldn't help much, what I could do was to take good care of myself, not let him worry about me, and be his strongest support.

However, things did not go as smoothly as we expected. The development of the antidote encountered a bottleneck, and a key ingredient could not be synthesized. Experts worked day and night, but still could not find a solution.

"How could this happen?" I looked at the latest experimental data, feeling anxious and uneasy. "Is there really nothing we can do?"

Zhong Yuxuan frowned, his eyes full of solemnity. He knew that the longer time dragged on, the more dangerous our situation would be. Those controlled by them were still waiting for the antidote, but we were still unable to fulfill our promise.

"No, there must be other ways." He whispered, his tone revealing reluctance and determination.

I know that a bigger test is waiting for us...

These days, my heart has been hanging in the air, like a taut string that could break at any time. The development of the antidote has encountered a bottleneck. The expert group has been working day and night, but has never found a breakthrough. Every time I see their tired figures, my heart is like being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and I can hardly breathe.

"Don't worry, we will find a way." Zhong Yuxuan always comforts me like this, but his furrowed brows and bloodshot eyes cannot hide his fatigue and anxiety.

I know that he is under more pressure than I am. Not only does he have to worry about my safety, but he also has to take the overall situation into consideration and protect everyone involved in this crisis.

One afternoon, I was pacing anxiously in my study when my cell phone rang. The caller ID showed Qin Xue, and my heart skipped a beat, with an ominous premonition.

"Hey, Xue'er, where are you? Shuhao...he's in trouble!" Qin Xue's voice was trembling, with obvious crying tones.

My head buzzed, as if something had exploded. "Xue'er, tell me slowly, what happened?"

"Shuhao...he was kidnapped! They...they said..." Qin Xue burst into tears, and her intermittent words made me terrified.

"What did they say?" My voice was so dry that I could hardly speak.

"They said... if Yuxuan continues investigating, they will... kill him!" Qin Xue finally cried out, her voice filled with despair and fear.

My fingers were cold as I held the phone, and my vision went dark. How could this happen? How could this happen!

When Zhong Yuxuan heard my exclamation, he immediately rushed into the study and snatched my phone. "Qin Xue, don't panic, tell me, what happened?"

His voice was low and calm, as if it gave Qin Xue a shot of adrenaline. Under Zhong Yuxuan's comfort, Qin Xue recounted the events in a discontinuous manner.

It turned out that Zhong Shuhao was kidnapped on his way to work this afternoon. The kidnapper called Qin Xue and asked her to tell Zhong Yuxuan that if he continued to investigate, he would be killed!

"Damn it!" Zhong Yuxuan slammed the table hard, his face livid. He had expected that the other party would do something desperate, but he didn't expect that they would actually attack Zhong Shuhao!

My heart seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, and it was icy cold. We thought that as long as we developed the antidote, we could save everything, but we didn't expect that more innocent people would be involved. Could it be that we were really wrong?

At this moment, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and the housekeeper ran in in a panic, his face as pale as paper. "Sir, it's not good, the old lady...she..."

"What's wrong with grandma?!" My heart was in my throat and an ominous premonition instantly enveloped my whole body.

The housekeeper took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "The old lady...she had a sudden heart attack and has been sent to the hospital..."

My world completely collapsed at that moment... The housekeeper's words were like a bolt from the blue. My legs instantly lost their strength to support me. My eyes went dark and I almost fainted. Zhong Yuxuan quickly supported me. His face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were full of pain and self-blame.

"Luo Xue, you have to hold on!" He held my hand tightly, his voice hurried but with a trembling tone, "Grandma, good things will happen to us, we must cheer up now!"

I leaned weakly in his arms, tears blurring my vision. Why? Why did things turn out like this? We just wanted to find an antidote to cure my disease, why did so many innocent people get involved?

When Zhong Yuxuan took me to the hospital, Zhong Shuhao and Qin Xue were already there. Zhong Shuhao's face was full of anger and self-blame. He pounded the wall hard, and blood oozed from his knuckles.

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault! If it wasn't for helping me, Xue'er wouldn't have been kidnapped, and grandma wouldn't have..."

"Brother, don't be like this..." Qin Xue cried bitterly and hugged Zhong Shuhao tightly, fearing that he would do something stupid again.

Seeing this scene, my heart ached like a knife. I tried hard to say something, but found that my throat seemed to be blocked by something and I couldn't make any sound.

Zhong Yuxuan held me tightly in his arms, his body trembling slightly, and I could feel his sadness and despair at the moment.

"Luo Xue, I know you feel very uncomfortable now, but you must cheer up. We can't give up like this, we still have a lot to do!" His voice was low and hoarse, but it carried a powerful force, as if to pull me out of the abyss of despair.

Yes, I can't fall like this! I still have Zhong Yuxuan, and my friends and family who care about me. I can't let them down!

I took a deep breath and tried to calm my chaotic emotions. At this moment, the door of the ward was gently pushed open, and a familiar figure appeared in front of us.

"Long time no see, everyone." The visitor had a meaningful smile on his face, but there was an imperceptible chill in his tone.

When I saw the person coming, my pupils shrank suddenly, and an indescribable wave of shock surged in my heart. How could it be him? !
