The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 121 Another Challenge

Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a bomb, exploding on our calm lake. I clenched my fists nervously. Did our plan get leaked in advance? Damn it, Liu Haoyu was prepared!

"What did he do?" Zhong Yuxuan asked in a deep voice, with a cold light flashing in his deep eyes, like an enraged lion.

"He transferred the company's assets in advance, and..." Lin Xiaofeng paused, his tone a little difficult, "He also bribed the relevant departments to try to cover up his previous crimes."

The room suddenly fell into silence, and a shadow covered everyone's face.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. No, we can't just give up like this!

"No, we still have a chance." I raised my head and looked at Zhong Yuxuan firmly, "Since a head-on confrontation doesn't work, let's do it secretly. I already have a plan..."

My plan was simple, but also full of risks. We decided to split into two groups. Zhong Shuhao and Qin Xue would use monitoring equipment to guide our actions in real time and ensure our safety, while Zhong Yuxuan and I would disguise ourselves as ordinary tourists and sneak into Liu Haoyu's holiday villa to try to find evidence.

As night fell and the lights came on, Zhong Yuxuan and I changed into light sportswear, put on baseball caps and sunglasses, and disguised ourselves. As planned, we drove to a luxurious villa in the suburbs owned by Liu Haoyu.

The villa is heavily guarded, with surveillance cameras all over the high walls and several bodyguards in black suits patrolling back and forth. It is not easy to sneak in without being noticed.

"It seems that we have to find a way to divert the attention of those bodyguards." I lowered my voice and said to Zhong Yuxuan.

Zhong Yuxuan nodded slightly, indicating that I should act according to the plan.

I took a deep breath, walked to the front door of the villa, knocked on it vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Help! Help! Is there anyone?"

My voice alarmed the bodyguards in the villa, and they all rushed over. While they were not paying attention, Zhong Yuxuan and I quickly hid in the woods next to the villa.

"Follow me." Zhong Yuxuan grabbed my hand and took me through the dense woods. After turning several corners, we soon arrived at the backyard of the villa.

There were relatively few surveillance cameras in the backyard, so we found a blind spot and climbed over the wall to enter the villa.

The villa was brightly lit and luxuriously decorated, showing the owner's extravagant life everywhere. Zhong Yuxuan and I moved forward cautiously, fearing to disturb the people in the villa.

However, just as we were about to reach the study, footsteps suddenly came from the end of the corridor...

My heartbeat suddenly accelerated, almost jumping out of my throat. Was I discovered? I subconsciously grabbed Zhong Yuxuan's arm, and I was so nervous that even my breathing became rapid.

"Don't panic, hide first." Zhong Yuxuan said in a low voice, pulling me into the storage room nearby.

The light in the storage room was dim, and the air was filled with a damp smell. I pressed myself tightly against the wall, not daring to make a sound, for fear that any sound would expose our whereabouts.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and seemed to stop just outside the door. My heart was in my throat, and my palms were full of cold sweat.

"drop--"

At this moment, Zhong Shuhao's voice suddenly came from my headphones: "Luo Xue, Yu Xuan, how are you doing now? We have seen through the surveillance that the man at the end of the corridor is Liu Haoyu's housekeeper. He seems to be on patrol. You have to be careful."

"We are safe for now." Zhong Yuxuan responded in a low voice, "We hid in the storage room on the left side at the end of the corridor. Can you see where we are now?"

"I saw it, I saw it." Qin Xue's voice also came from the headset, "You are in a safe place now, the housekeeper hasn't found you. But you have to be careful, the study is next to the storage room, and Liu Haoyu is very likely inside."

"I understand." Zhong Yuxuan replied briefly.

I held my breath and listened attentively to the noise outside the door. The housekeeper didn't seem to have any intention of entering the storage room. After staying at the door for a few seconds, he turned around and left.

"Hu——" I let out a long sigh and felt like I had walked back from the gates of hell.

"It seems that we have to find evidence as soon as possible and leave here." Zhong Yuxuan said with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

We left the storage room and continued walking towards the study. The door of the study was ajar, and through the crack in the door, we could vaguely see the light coming from inside.

I motioned to Zhong Yuxuan to wait a moment, then took out a long thin wire from my pocket. This was the lock-picking tool that Lin Xiaofeng specially prepared for us.

With a light "click", the door of the study was unlocked. I gently pushed the door open and entered the room with Zhong Yuxuan.

The study was large and decorated in an antique style, with bookshelves filled with all kinds of books. In the middle of the room stood a large mahogany desk, which was piled with documents.

"Let's split up and search," Zhong Yuxuan whispered, "Try not to make too much noise."

I nodded and began to carefully search every corner of the room, hoping to find some useful clues. However, to my disappointment, there seemed to be nothing special in the study, and those documents were just some ordinary business documents and had no value.

Just when I was about to give up, my eyes suddenly fell on a safe next to the desk...

The color of the safe almost blends in with the wall. If I hadn't accidentally caught a glimpse of the subtle reflection on it, I would have missed it. My heart skipped a beat. Could there be some secret hidden in it? I motioned Zhong Yuxuan to come over, and together we moved the safe, revealing a small door hidden behind it.

"Is there something behind this..." I lowered my voice, my heart pounding. Zhong Yuxuan didn't say anything, but nodded with a firm look in his eyes, then took out a Swiss Army knife from his pocket and pried open the small door.

Behind the door was a narrow passage with a damp and musty smell. We turned on the flashlight function of our mobile phones and walked in cautiously. The passage was not long, and at the end was another closed iron door with a heavy lock on it.

"It seems that the answer we are looking for is in here." Zhong Yuxuan said, and skillfully picked the lock with a Swiss Army knife. The iron door made a dull sound and slowly opened.

What appeared before our eyes was a spacious basement. Under the dim light, the walls were covered with various monitoring screens, which played real-time images from different locations. In the center of the room were several computers and servers, emitting a faint blue light, and the whole space was filled with a cold and oppressive atmosphere.

I immediately realized that this was Liu Haoyu’s secret base!

I quickly walked to the computer and started to check the information inside. Zhong Yuxuan carefully checked every corner of the room, hoping to find more valuable clues.

The computer stores a large number of files and videos, including records of Liu Haoyu's various illegal transactions over the years, evidence of bribery of officials, and even video records of him instructing others to engage in illegal and criminal activities.

"Found it!" I shouted excitedly, pointing to a document on the screen and said to Zhong Yuxuan, "This document records the details of Liu Haoyu's collusion with foreign forces to engage in arms smuggling. It also contains his signature and company seal. This is enough to bring him to justice!"

Zhong Yuxuan came over, quickly glanced through the contents of the document, and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Okay, we finally found the key evidence!"

We immediately copied all the data in the computer to the prepared mobile hard drive, and then prepared to leave this place of trouble.

However, just as we were about to turn around and leave, a burst of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the basement.

"Oh no, someone is coming!" I was shocked and an ominous premonition came to my mind.

Before we could react, we saw Liu Haoyu and several black-clad bodyguards appear at the door. He stared at us sinisterly, with a sneer on his face: "I didn't expect you to find this place. It really surprises me."

"Liu Haoyu, your crime has been exposed, just surrender!" Zhong Yuxuan protected me behind him and said in a cold tone.

"Just surrender?" Liu Haoyu laughed arrogantly as if he had heard something funny. "Just you? You want to arrest me? You really overestimate your own abilities!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguards behind him rushed forward and a fierce fight broke out instantly!

I held Zhong Yuxuan's hand tightly, my heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of my throat. The bodyguards were all ferocious, and I was powerless, so I could only try my best not to become their target. Zhong Yuxuan was like an angry lion, his moves were fierce and his punches were powerful. After a few rounds, he beat the bodyguards black and blue.

At this moment, a loud noise was heard at the entrance of the basement, followed by a group of uniformed police officers filing in, led by Zhong Shuhao.

"Police, don't move!" Zhong Shuhao gave the order, and the tense atmosphere was instantly broken. Liu Haoyu's face turned pale, and he wanted to make a final struggle, but Zhong Shuhao grabbed him and pinned him to the ground.

"Liu Haoyu, you are suspected of multiple illegal and criminal activities. You are now officially arrested!" Zhong Shuhao said as he put cold handcuffs on Liu Haoyu.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I looked at Zhong Yuxuan, and he also had a relieved smile on his face. We succeeded, we finally brought Liu Haoyu to justice!

The following things were much simpler. With our cooperation, the police quickly controlled the situation and arrested Liu Haoyu and his gang. The materials we copied also became the most powerful evidence. Liu Haoyu's criminal network was completely destroyed, and he will be severely punished by law.

After everything was settled, I thought I could finally live a peaceful life with Zhong Yuxuan. However, fate always seems to play tricks on people.

That day, I was sorting out the materials I brought back from Liu Haoyu's basement, and suddenly found an unsigned envelope. Curiosity drove me to open it. There were only a few lines of words written on the letter paper, but it was like a bolt from the blue, shaking me dizzy:

"Li Luoxue, who do you think you are? You are just a chess piece, a chess piece carefully designed to replace the real eldest lady of the Li family..."

My hands were shaking, and I could barely hold the thin piece of paper. My life experience has always been the biggest mystery in my heart, and now, this mystery seems to be about to be revealed, but in a way that I cannot accept...
