The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 141 Mental Depression

The black car was like a monster, swallowing me into its cold belly. I struggled helplessly, banging on the car window desperately, trying to send a signal for help, but the only response I got was the rapidly receding scenery outside the car window and the man's cold and ruthless eyes.

"Where are you taking me? Who are you?" I asked at the top of my lungs, but the man only replied in a nonchalant voice: "You'll know when you get there."

My heart seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, and fear and despair were like vines that tightly wrapped around me. Zhong Yuxuan's face kept appearing in my mind, his gentleness, his dominance, the twinkling stars in his deep eyes... All of these were like sharp blades, ruthlessly cutting my heart.

The car finally stopped, and I was roughly dragged out of the car. In front of me was a gloomy villa, and the gray walls looked particularly cold in the night. I was taken into a windowless room, with only a dim wall lamp emitting a weak light, which stretched my shadow particularly long, as if it was going to swallow me.

I curled up in the corner of the room, cold, dark, fear, despair, like the tide, wave after wave, overwhelmed me. I hugged my arms tightly, trying to get a little warmth, but my body was getting colder and colder, so cold that my teeth began to chatter, and my bones were aching.

I began to desperately recall every moment that Zhong Yuxuan and I had together, the awkwardness when we first met, the sweetness when we were in love, the anger when we quarreled, and the tenderness when we made up... Those memories that I once treasured, now seemed like sharp knives, cutting my heart into pieces.

I don't know how long I have been imprisoned. Time seems to have lost its meaning here. I can only rely on the weak light and recall the past with Zhong Yuxuan over and over again, as if this can bring him closer, as if this can make me temporarily forget the fear and despair at the moment.

I began to ask myself over and over again, Zhong Yuxuan, where are you now? Are you okay? Do you know that I miss you very much, I miss you very much...

Just when I was about to despair, the door of the room suddenly opened...

A ray of light pierced the darkness of the room, and I subconsciously closed my eyes. I heard a slight sound of footsteps. I opened my eyes alertly and saw a man in black clothes and black pants standing at the door. He was holding a tray with a bowl of white rice and a plate of green vegetables on it.

He walked in without saying a word, put the tray on the small table in the corner of the room, and turned to leave. I looked at him, and a glimmer of hope ignited in my heart. Maybe I could get some information about Zhong Yuxuan from him.

"Wait!" I called out to him, "Do you know Zhong Yuxuan? Is he okay?"

The man stopped but did not look back. He was silent for a few seconds, then said in a low voice: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Please, tell me, what happened to Zhong Yuxuan? Did something happen to him too?" There was a hint of tears in my voice. I was too scared to hear bad news about Zhong Yuxuan, but I was also eager to know if he was safe now.

The man still didn't turn around, but just said calmly: "Eat something, you still need to maintain your strength."

After saying that, he left the room without looking back. The door was slammed shut again, and the room returned to its previous darkness and silence. I collapsed on the ground in despair, tears silently falling.

I mechanically picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table and ate the tasteless food bite by bite. I knew that I couldn't just give up like this, I had to cheer up, for myself and for Zhong Yuxuan.

I began to try to calm my heart through meditation. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to empty my mind, not thinking about the things that made me afraid and desperate. I began to recall the happy times that Zhong Yuxuan and I had together. We walked on the beach together, laughed wildly in the playground together, and made promises together under the stars...

Those beautiful memories are like warm lights that illuminate the darkness deep in my heart and give me a glimmer of hope in despair. I told myself that I must persevere, I must get out alive, and I must renew my relationship with Zhong Yuxuan.

However, I didn't know that what was waiting for me would be even more cruel torture...

After the man left, the room returned to the suffocating darkness and silence. I curled up in the cold corner, as if abandoned by the whole world. Despair surged like a tide, almost swallowing me up. I wanted to shout loudly to vent the fear and helplessness in my heart, but I knew clearly that the only response I would get was an even more terrifying silence.

I mechanically swallowed the hard-to-swallow food, which tasted like chewing wax. My survival instinct forced me to eat, because I knew that I had to live, for myself and for Zhong Yuxuan. Only by living could I escape from this dark and hellish place and have the chance to see him again.

However, the constant torture of Wang Meilin and Liu Haoyu has caused great trauma to my heart. They are like two insidious and vicious snakes, bit by bit devouring my will, trying to destroy me completely. I am afraid of the coming of night, because it means endless nightmares and torture. I am afraid of the coming of day, because it means I will face a more cruel reality.

I felt like a butterfly trapped in a spider's web, unable to escape no matter how hard I struggled. My spirit was on the verge of collapse, and despair was like a poisonous snake tightly wrapped around my heart, making it impossible for me to breathe.

In this dark abyss, the only belief that kept me alive was Zhong Yuxuan. I recalled every little bit of our time together over and over again. Those sweet memories were like a faint light that illuminated the darkness deep in my heart and gave me a glimmer of hope in despair.

I began to picture the scene of our reunion in my mind. I seemed to see Zhong Yuxuan anxiously looking for me, his eyes full of worry and love. I seemed to hear him calling my name affectionately, his voice so gentle and firm.

How I wished that all this was not a fantasy, but a reality. In order to keep this hope, I used my fingernails to carve my name and Zhong Yuxuan's name on the cold wall. I stroked the crooked handwriting over and over again, as if I was stroking Zhong Yuxuan's face.

"Luo Xue, hold on! Zhong Yuxuan will definitely find you!" I murmured to myself against the cold wall, my voice trembling but full of strength. I believe that my lover must be looking for me somewhere, and he will never give up on me!

The cold walls could not respond to my calls, only endless silence surrounded me. Despair and hope intertwined in my heart, like two forces pulling at my soul. I told myself over and over again to hold on, but the fear in my heart was like a vine, entwining my heart and making me breathless.

I don't know how Zhong Yuxuan is doing now. Is he missing me all the time like me? Can he find me? Has he given up on me? These terrible thoughts are like nightmares, dragging me into deeper despair.

Just when I was about to give up hope, a faint light suddenly appeared in the room. I raised my head alertly and saw a familiar figure appear at the door.

"It's you!" I exclaimed, and a glimmer of hope ignited in my heart.

"Don't be afraid, it's me." The mysterious man whispered, his voice was like the moonlight in the dark night, carrying a hint of warmth and strength.

I struggled to stand up, but fell to the ground due to my weakness from being imprisoned for so long. The mysterious man walked quickly to my side and helped me up.

"Are you okay?" he asked with concern, his eyes full of worry.

I shook my head, my throat choked with sobs, unable to speak. I knew that I must be in a state of disarray, but the concern and warmth in his eyes made me feel the long-lost humanity.

"I brought news about Zhong Yuxuan." said the mysterious man. His voice was very soft, but it was like a flash of lightning that split the haze of despair in my heart.

"How...how is he?" I asked anxiously, holding his arm tightly, afraid to miss any word.

"He's fine, and has been working hard to find you." The mysterious man said, "He's very worried about you and has never given up for a moment."

When I heard the news about Zhong Yuxuan, I couldn't hold back my tears. These days, I have been suppressing myself and forcing myself to be strong, but at this moment, all the grievances and fears turned into tears and poured out.

The mysterious man patted my shoulder gently and comforted me. He told me that Zhong Yuxuan had found some clues and would find me soon. He also said that Zhong Yuxuan told me to hold on and he would come to rescue me.

I clenched my fists tightly, my heart filled with hope and strength. I believe that Zhong Yuxuan will find me and we will be reunited!

At this moment, the mysterious man's face suddenly changed, and he motioned me to be quiet. He walked to the door and listened vigilantly to the movement outside.

"What's wrong?" I asked in a low voice, feeling a little uneasy.

"Someone is coming." The mysterious man whispered, "I have to leave, be careful."

Before I could react, he had already disappeared into the darkness. I anxiously wanted to call him, but I heard a chaotic sound of footsteps getting closer and closer...

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and my heart was in my throat. I looked around in panic, and there was no place to hide in this secret room. Despair was like cold sea water, drowning me inch by inch.

With a loud bang, the door was roughly kicked open, and dazzling light instantly poured in, making it impossible for me to open my eyes. I instinctively covered my eyes with my hands, but heard a familiar and frightening voice.

"Hey, isn't this our Miss Li? Why are you hiding here and pretending to be pitiful?" Wang Meilin's sarcastic voice pierced my eardrums like a needle. Next to her stood Liu Haoyu, who had a sinister smile on his face, and behind them were two burly bodyguards.

I put down my shielding hands and forced myself to calm down. I knew that at this moment, any weakness and pleading would be in vain.

"Wang Meilin, what do you want to do?" I looked at her coldly, without a trace of fear in my tone.

"What do I want to do? I should be the one asking you this!" Wang Meilin walked up to me, grabbed my hair, and forced me to look up at her. "Haven't you made me miserable enough? You took away Yuxuan, and everything from the Li family. Now you want to take over the Zhong family for yourself?"

I frowned in pain, but shook her hand off. "I didn't steal anything. You're to blame for all this!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Wang Meilin yelled hysterically, "If it wasn't you, how could Yuxuan fall in love with you? If it wasn't you, how could I lose everything?"

I was scared by her crazy look, but I couldn't show weakness and let her see my fear. I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm. "Wang Meilin, wake up! Zhong Yuxuan has never loved you. He loves me!"

"Shut up!" Wang Meilin rushed towards me with a ferocious look on her face, trying to cover my mouth with her hands. I subconsciously dodged backwards, but she pushed me to the ground.

"Li Luoxue, I'm going to kill you!" Wang Meilin rode on me and strangled my neck with both hands. My breathing became more and more difficult, and my vision began to become blurry.

Just when I thought I was about to suffocate, a rapid phone ring suddenly rang, interrupting Wang Meilin's crazy behavior. She picked up the phone impatiently, and Liu Haoyu whispered something in her ear, and her face turned pale instantly.

"What did you say? Impossible!" Wang Meilin stood up suddenly, and her phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground and shattered. She looked at Liu Haoyu in horror, her lips trembling, but she couldn't say a word.

I took a deep breath of fresh air and struggled to get up from the ground. I didn't know what was going on, but I could feel that Wang Meilin's fear was real.

Could it be... Zhong Yuxuan?

This idea was like a seed that took root and sprouted in my heart, giving me a glimmer of hope and strength.
