The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 118 Challenge Emerges

The joy of victory is like the bubbles of champagne, which will always pass at the most intense moment, leaving behind a long aftertaste and a lingering uneasiness. I looked at the faces of those who were reborn because of the antidote in the news, and my heart was filled with mixed feelings. I know that we have won this battle, but the war is far from over.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhong Yuxuan placed a cup of hot tea next to me. The warm touch brought me out of my thoughts.

"Nothing, I just feel that this is going too smoothly." I shook my head, trying to hide my inner uneasiness. "Will the mysterious organization really give up?"

A trace of worry flashed across Zhong Yuxuan's deep eyes, but he quickly held my hand and said firmly: "No matter what conspiracy they have, we will face it together and never let them succeed."

His words always gave me great courage and strength. I nodded, trying to suppress my uneasy emotions.

However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on us. Not long after the peaceful days, an undercurrent began to surge.

First came the news from Zhong Shuhao. He said solemnly, "We have tracked the recent fund flows of the mysterious organization and found that they have close ties with a business tycoon named Liu Haoyu."

Qin Xue frowned and added, "Liu Haoyu? I have some impression of him. His companies are involved in many fields such as medicine and technology. They are very influential both at home and abroad."

"It seems that the mysterious organization has not given up. They want to make a comeback with the help of Liu Haoyu's power." Zhong Yuxuan's tone was cold, with a chilling chill.

My heart sank suddenly. If the previous enemies were just ghosts hiding in the dark, then the appearance of Liu Haoyu undoubtedly pushed us into a more dangerous situation. He was like a cunning wolf, hiding in the light and shadow of a bustling city, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

I have a strong feeling that a bigger storm is coming...

The feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, making it hard to breathe. Sure enough, not long after the peaceful days, Zhong Yuxuan held a newspaper with a terribly gloomy face.

"What's wrong?" My heart tightened, and I had a premonition that something bad had happened.

He handed me the newspaper, pointed to the front-page headline, and said in a cold tone: "Look for yourself."

I took the newspaper and the headline caught my eye: "Miracle or lie? Safety of new antidote sparks controversy!"

The content of the article is even more shocking. It describes the antidote as a drug that has not been fully verified, and lists some so-called "evidence" claiming that the antidote has serious side effects and may even worsen the patient's condition.

"This is absolute nonsense!" I angrily slammed the newspaper on the table. I participated in the entire process of developing the antidote. Its safety and effectiveness are beyond doubt. This report is clearly malicious slander!

"It's Liu Haoyu." A cold light flashed in Zhong Yuxuan's eyes. "He used his media resources to discredit the antidote."

I immediately understood that Liu Haoyu wanted to use the power of public opinion to attack us and prevent the promotion of the antidote!

As expected, this article was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which quickly caused a stir in society. The Internet was filled with voices of doubt and panic, and even some patients who were originally full of hope for a cure began to waver.

What's even more hateful is that Liu Haoyu secretly funded some people who opposed us, allowing them to spread rumors in various public occasions and incite the public's emotions. For a time, we seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and had difficulty moving forward.

Watching all this, I was filled with anger and powerlessness. I knew that Liu Haoyu was taking advantage of people's fear and anxiety to achieve his ulterior motives.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death!" I clenched my fists and looked at Zhong Yuxuan firmly, "We must find a way to fight back!"

Zhong Yuxuan nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: "I have arranged people to investigate the mastermind behind this, and I believe there will be results soon. Don't worry, I will never let Liu Haoyu's conspiracy succeed!"

Although his words made me feel a little relieved, the anxiety in my heart increased. This battle has just begun, and what awaits us will be even more dangerous challenges... The anxiety is like a vine, winding around my heart little by little, almost suffocating me. Liu Haoyu's sinister intentions are obvious. He wants to kill the antidote we have worked hard to develop in the cradle, disregarding the lives of countless patients!

"We can't just sit there and wait for death," I stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in the room, "We must take the initiative and expose Liu Haoyu's true face!"

Zhong Yuxuan nodded solemnly, "You are right, Luo Xue. I have asked Zhong Shuhao and Qin Xue to investigate Liu Haoyu's source of funds and the illegal operations of the pharmaceutical company respectively, hoping to find a breakthrough."

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. "I can't sit idle either. I will try to start with public opinion and contact some authoritative media and experts and scholars to justify the antidote."

In the next few days, we entered a tense battle state. Zhong Yuxuan and his team rushed around day and night to collect various evidences, and I also actively contacted various resources to try to change the direction of public opinion.

However, the development of things is far more complicated and difficult than we imagined. Liu Haoyu seemed to have anticipated that we would take action, and he laid traps one after another, making it difficult for us to move forward.

First, Zhong Shuhao encountered obstacles when investigating Liu Haoyu's source of funds. Liu Haoyu's financial transactions were extremely secretive, and there seemed to be a bigger force behind him controlling everything, making our investigation difficult.

"Yuxuan, I found out that Liu Haoyu has been in close contact with an overseas investment company recently, but the background of this company is very mysterious, and I haven't found more useful information yet." There was a hint of fatigue and frustration in Zhong Shuhao's voice.

"I understand, Shuhao, you have done your best, let me take care of the rest." Zhong Yuxuan's voice was low and firm, but I knew that his heart was also full of anxiety and uneasiness.

At the same time, Qin Xue also received bad news. Liu Haoyu's pharmaceutical company was under extremely strict management, and all internal personnel were under a gag order, so they could not obtain any useful information.

"Damn it!" I couldn't help but curse, anger and powerlessness almost overwhelmed me. Is it true that we really have no way to deal with Liu Haoyu?

Just when I felt despair, Zhong Yuxuan suddenly said, "Luo Xue, I need you to do me a favor..." His eyes were deep and firm, like the twinkling stars in the dark night, giving me a glimmer of hope.

"What kind of help? Just tell me. As long as it's something I can do, I will do my best!" I answered without hesitation.

"I need you to help me divert Liu Haoyu's attention, so that I can have a chance to sneak into his company and look for key evidence..." Zhong Yuxuan's voice was low and dangerous. I knew that this operation would be full of risks, but I had no hesitation. For justice and for the truth, I am willing to give everything! "Divert Liu Haoyu's attention? How?" I looked at Zhong Yuxuan in confusion, not understanding what he was going to do.

"Liu Haoyu has always been interested in you," Zhong Yuxuan said with a meaningful smile, "I will spread the news that you appeared somewhere, and then..."

I immediately understood what he meant, and my heart skipped a beat. "Are you trying to use me as bait?"

"This is too dangerous, Luo Xue," Qin Xue objected anxiously before Zhong Yuxuan could speak, "Liu Haoyu is a cruel man, what if..."

"Nothing will happen," Zhong Yuxuan's eyes were firm and resolute, "I will arrange for people to secretly protect Luo Xue and will never let her get hurt."

I know this is the only way at the moment. In order to expose Liu Haoyu's true face and for those innocent patients, I am willing to take the risk.

As planned, I went alone to a high-end club where Liu Haoyu often appeared. This club was luxuriously decorated, with elegant people and a decadent atmosphere everywhere, which was incompatible with me.

I tried to look calm, but my palms were sweaty as I held the phone. My heartbeat got faster and faster as the seconds ticked by.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in my sight. It was Liu Haoyu! He was wearing a well-tailored black suit, with his usual hypocritical smile on his face, chatting and laughing with several business people.

I took a deep breath, trying to keep myself calm, then deliberately walked into Liu Haoyu's sight and pretended to pass by him inadvertently.

"I'm sorry..." I whispered, and at the same time unnoticeably dropped a miniature eavesdropping device into his suit pocket.

Liu Haoyu didn't seem to notice my little movement. He just frowned slightly, looked me up and down, and a greedy gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Miss, have we met somewhere before?" His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of danger.

I suppressed my disgust and forced a smile, "Sir, you must have recognized the wrong person, I..."

Before I could finish my words, Liu Haoyu grabbed my wrist and said, "Stop pretending, I know who you are..."

My heart suddenly rose to my throat. Could it be that my identity was exposed?

Just then, a group of bodyguards in black suddenly rushed in and surrounded Liu Haoyu and me.

"Let her go!"

With a roar, Zhong Yuxuan appeared at the door. He glanced at the people around him fiercely, exuding a cold aura, like an enraged lion.

In the chaos, I was taken away from the scene by Zhong Yuxuan's men. It was not until I got into the car that my heartbeat gradually calmed down.

"Are you okay?" Zhong Yuxuan asked with concern, with a hint of self-blame and worry in his tone.

"I'm fine," I shook my head, "Luckily you got here in time."

"This time it's all thanks to you, Luo Xue," Zhong Yuxuan's eyes were full of gratitude, "We successfully installed a bug in his phone, and I believe there will be new discoveries soon."

However, before we could be happy for too long, Zhong Shuhao told us in a serious tone that an anti-tracking system had been installed in Liu Haoyu's mobile phone and our eavesdropping device had been discovered.

"This Liu Haoyu is so cunning!" I said gritting my teeth, my heart filled with anger and powerlessness.

"Don't worry, Luo Xue, we still have a chance," Zhong Yuxuan comforted me, "I have sent someone to investigate his background, and I believe there will be results soon."

Sure enough, not long after, Zhong Yuxuan received a shocking news: Liu Haoyu actually had close ties with the leader of a mysterious organization, and this organization had been committed to developing a new virus in an attempt to use the virus to control the world!

This news was like a heavy bomb, exploding in the hearts of each of us. I never expected that Liu Haoyu's ambition was so big, and what he was plotting was actually the whole world!
