Chapter 125 Challenge Emerges

"Hello..." My voice was so dry and my heart was beating so fast that it seemed to burst out of my chest. The other party's voice was unfamiliar, but it was strangely familiar, and this feeling made me shudder.

"What do you want to say?" I tried to keep my voice steady, not wanting Zhong Yuxuan to notice anything unusual with me.

"Hehe, do you want to know the mystery of your life? Do you want to know who you are?" The other party's voice was a little teasing, as if he was playing with a defenseless prey.

"Who are you? What is your purpose?" I gripped the phone so tightly that my nails almost dug into my flesh.

"See you tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at Starbucks." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

I froze in place, the phone slipped from my palm and fell on the soft carpet without making a sound. My world seemed to have lost its sound with this phone call, leaving only a buzzing void.

"Luo Xue, what's wrong? Who is calling?" Zhong Yuxuan noticed that something was wrong with me and asked worriedly.

I took a deep breath, tried to calm my racing heartbeat, and told Zhong Yuxuan what the call had said.

“What?!” Zhong Yuxuan stood up suddenly, his face terribly gloomy. “There is such a thing! It seems that we have all underestimated the power of the mastermind behind the scenes.”

I sat on the sofa helplessly, my mind in a mess. The mystery of my life was like a fog that surrounded me tightly and made me breathless.

Zhong Yuxuan held my shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Luo Xue, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will be by your side. We will face it together."

I looked up and saw Zhong Yuxuan's determined eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. Yes, I still have Zhong Yuxuan and my friends who care about me. I am no longer alone.

At this time, Zhong Shuhao, Qin Xue and Lin Xiaofeng also rushed over after hearing the news. When I repeated the content of the call, everyone was shocked by the news.

"How could this happen? Luo Xue, you really are..." Qin Xue covered her mouth, her eyes red.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Zhong Shuhao slammed the table, furious. "Who is it? Who is behind this?!"

Lin Xiaofeng, who was always calm, also frowned. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It seems that someone doesn't want us to find out the truth. They want to disrupt our vision in this way."

I looked at them blankly, my heart filled with anxiety and fear. If I was really not the daughter of the Li family, then who was I? Who were my parents? Why did they abandon me?

A series of questions swirled in my mind, but I couldn't find any answers. I only knew that my life would be completely changed because of this phone call.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. No matter what the truth was, I had to face it bravely. I had to find out my life story, find the mastermind, and make him pay for what he had done!

I held the water cup tightly in my hand, and my fingertips turned white from the force. This sudden phone call was like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves and turning my originally peaceful life upside down. Am I really the daughter of the Li family? If not, who are my biological parents? Where are they?

"Luo Xue, don't worry, we will find a way to help you." Qin Xue held my hand, her eyes red, and she was obviously shocked by the news.

Zhong Shuhao's face turned pale. Although he was usually gentle, he could not hide his anger at this moment: "Who is it? Who is behind all this? I will never let him go!"

I looked at them with gratitude, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. Even in the face of such a change, I could still feel their care and support, which gave me a little comfort in the midst of helplessness and fear.

"Let's sort this out now without further ado." Lin Xiaofeng's calm voice interrupted my thoughts. He was always calm, and at this moment, he was more like a stabilizing force, calming all of us. "First, we need to confirm the authenticity of this call. Second, we need to find more clues about your life experience."

"Yes, Xiaofeng is right." Zhong Yuxuan also calmed down. He gently put his arm around my shoulders with a firm look in his eyes. "Luo Xue, don't worry. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

I nodded, trying to suppress the anxiety in my heart and force myself to calm down. Now is not the time to be weak. I need to cheer up and face this sudden storm with them.

Zhong Shuhao and Qin Xue decided to start with the Li family. After all, the Li family might still have some clues about what happened more than 20 years ago. One of them is a lawyer and the other is a reporter. They both have rich investigation experience and connections, and they believe they can find some clues.

Lin Xiaofeng said that he would use his connections to secretly investigate the source of the mysterious phone call and the identity of the mastermind behind it.

Watching them busy, my heart is filled with gratitude and hope. Although the road ahead is unknown, I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to uncover the truth and find the answer that belongs to me.

As night fell, I still couldn't calm down. That mysterious phone call was like a time bomb buried deep in my heart. I didn't know when it would explode and blow me to pieces.

I lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep. That strange yet familiar voice and those teasing words kept replaying in my mind: "Do you want to know the mystery of your life? Do you want to know who you are?"

I tossed and turned, feeling confused. Outside the window, the lights of the city flickered, as if mocking my helplessness and confusion. I closed my eyes tightly, praying that tomorrow would come soon, hoping to solve this mystery and find my truth soon.

The morning sun shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains, but it did not dispel the haze that shrouded my heart. With two dark circles under my eyes, I forced myself to get up.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Zhong Yuxuan was already dressed and asked with concern when he saw me come out.

I forced a smile: "It's okay, just a little worried."

He came over and hugged me gently: "Don't worry, I'm here. Shuhao and Qin Xue have already started investigating the Li family, I believe there will be news soon."

I nodded, but I was still feeling uneasy. I didn't know if there was any progress on Lin Xiaofeng's side.

After breakfast, Zhong Yuxuan went to the company to handle some business, while I was anxiously waiting for news.

Near noon, Lin Xiaofeng finally called.

"Luo Xue," his voice sounded a little tired, but his tone was full of excitement, "I have made some discoveries here."

My heart skipped a beat. “What did you find?”

"Do you still remember that mysterious phone number? I checked it. It's a virtual number and it's difficult to track. But," he paused, "I found out that this number once contacted someone, someone who may be related to your life experience."

"Who?" I asked anxiously.

"An old lady named Aunt Li, who worked as a servant in the Li family more than 20 years ago." Lin Xiaofeng's tone became serious, "I found her current address, come with me."

I agreed without hesitation, took the bodyguards arranged by Zhong Yuxuan, and drove to Li Ma's residence with Lin Xiaofeng.

Mother Li lives in a remote old neighborhood. The house is very small and the furniture is very simple. It is obvious that her life is not rich.

Seeing us, Aunt Li seemed a little surprised, but more alert: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

I suppressed my excitement and asked in a gentle tone, "Auntie Li, we want to ask you about something that happened more than 20 years ago. Do you remember anything about the Li family?"

Hearing the word "Li family", Li Ma's expression changed obviously, her eyes flickered, as if she was deliberately avoiding something.

"Li family? I don't know any Li family. You've got the wrong person." She was about to close the door, but was stopped by Lin Xiaofeng with his quick eyes and hands.

"Auntie Li, we know you know something about the inside story. Please tell us the truth. It is very important to us!" Lin Xiaofeng said sincerely with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Mother Li looked at us with a complicated expression, as if she was having a fierce ideological struggle. After a long silence, she finally sighed and opened the door: "Come in..."

The room was dim, and the air was filled with a faint musty smell. Aunt Li asked us to sit down, and then slowly told us a secret that had been buried for many years...

Just as I was listening more and more attentively and was about to touch the truth, Aunt Li suddenly stopped, her face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with fear.

"What's wrong? Aunt Li?" I asked anxiously.

She pointed out the window with shaking hands: "Someone...someone is watching us..."

I followed her gaze and saw a figure flashing behind the window of the building opposite... A chill ran from my feet to my head. Li Ma's words were like a basin of cold water that extinguished the fire of hope in my heart. I suppressed my fear and looked around calmly. The room was very quiet and only our rapid breathing could be heard. Lin Xiaofeng was the first to break the silence. He walked to the window, checked carefully, and then turned around with a serious face.

"The other party was very cautious and only showed up briefly, but I could sense that we were being watched." Lin Xiaofeng lowered his voice and said, "It seems that someone doesn't want us to investigate further. Things have become more complicated."

My heart suddenly sank. Could it be that there was some unspeakable secret behind my life experience? Fear and anxiety wrapped around me like vines, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

Zhong Yuxuan noticed that something was wrong with me, and he hugged me in his arms, looking at me with a firm look, as if to say: Don't be afraid, I'm here. The warmth and strength he exuded made me feel a little more at ease.

"Don't worry, I will strengthen your protection." Zhong Yuxuan's tone was calm, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty. "Shuhao, you arrange for someone to secretly protect Aunt Li. Don't let her get hurt."

"Yes, brother, I'll do it right away." Zhong Shuhao took the order and left. Qin Xue also volunteered to stay and take care of Li's mother.

After leaving Li Ma's house, Lin Xiaofeng's words and the suspicious figure that flashed by kept echoing in my mind. At this moment, my phone vibrated and I received an email from an unfamiliar number. The content of the email was only one sentence:

"Don't investigate further, otherwise you will regret it!"

The concise words revealed a chilling feeling that made me shudder.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yuxuan noticed the change in my expression and asked with concern.

I handed him the phone, and his face became serious. After a moment of silence, he held my hand tightly and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Don't be afraid, we will not succumb to threats. I will definitely find out the truth and protect your safety."

I nodded, and an inexplicable courage and strength surged in my heart. I knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, but as long as we fought side by side, we would be able to overcome all difficulties. However, I didn't know that this warning email was just the beginning, and greater challenges were waiting for us...
