Chapter 21 Dawn

Yuxuan tightly grasped the phone, his knuckles turned white, and his face was frighteningly pale. I had never seen him lose his composure like this before, and my heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it became difficult to breathe. "Yuxuan, what happened? Tell me!" I grabbed his arm, my voice trembling, almost crying.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but his voice was still shaking. "The company... the company's account has been frozen, all funds have been transferred, and now the company can no longer operate normally..."

My head went dark, and I almost collapsed to the ground. How could this happen? How could this happen? One moment we were still looking forward to the future, and the next second, happiness was shattered like a bubble, leaving only a mess on the ground.

"Who did it?" I muttered to myself, countless faces flashing through my mind, but I couldn't lock on any one.

Yuxuan didn't say anything, but just held me tightly in his arms and stroked my hair with his chin, as if he was giving me strength or comforting himself.

In the following days, we fell into endless darkness and panic. Uncle Zhong seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and his originally black hair had many silver strands. Yuxuan worked day and night to try to turn the tide, but the more he investigated, the more confusing things became.

Until that day, Yuxuan came home with a document in his hand, his face was terribly solemn. He sat on the sofa, said nothing, and just handed the document to me.

I took the document with trembling hands and read it line by line, my face becoming paler and paler. This document was the result of Yuxuan's investigation. It clearly recorded that the mastermind behind all this was Uncle Zhong's long-time business rival, Mr. Wang!

It turned out that many years ago, Mr. Wang’s company was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management, and Uncle Zhong refused his request for help, which eventually led to the bankruptcy of his company. He therefore held a grudge and waited for an opportunity to take revenge.

"This Mr. Wang is simply insane!" I said angrily, clenching my fists tightly.

Yuxuan took a deep breath, his eyes became fierce, "He not only wants to avenge my father, but also wants to completely destroy the Zhong family and destroy us!"

I looked at Yuxuan, my heart filled with worry and fear. I knew that a bigger storm was coming, and we were about to face even more severe challenges.

"What should we do?" I grabbed Yuxuan's hand, seeking his strength.

He held my hand with his backhand, his eyes firm and gentle, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you and the Zhong family. We will face it together!"

In the dim room, only the faint moonlight from the window shone in, illuminating the mess in the room. I curled up on the bed, like a wounded little animal, licking my wounds helplessly. The company went bankrupt, Yuxuan was in a mess, and Uncle Zhong's hair turned white overnight. All of this was like a nightmare, weighing me down.

"Luo Xue, are you okay?" Qin Xue's voice sounded gently. She held a bowl of hot porridge and sat down beside my bed.

I shook my head, but the tears kept pouring out. "I'm fine, I just... I just feel so tired and weak."

Qin Xue patted my back gently, comforting me softly like coaxing a child. Her company and encouragement were like a ray of sunshine, shining into my cold heart, allowing me to gradually find a little warmth.

"Luo Xue, you can't go on like this. You have to cheer up. Yuxuan needs you, and Uncle Zhong needs you too." Qin Xue's words were firm and powerful, striking my heart.

Yes, I can't sink like this anymore. I still have people who love me, and I still have responsibilities. I can't let them down. I took a deep breath, took the porridge from Qin Xue, and drank it mouthful by mouthful. The hot porridge flowed into my stomach and warmed my heart.

In the following days, under Qin Xue's careful care, I gradually recovered my physical and mental state. Looking at Yuxuan who was getting thinner and thinner and Uncle Zhong who was getting old, my heart was filled with guilt and heartache. I decided that I would face this difficult time with them and get through it together.

I began to take the initiative to help Yuxuan organize information, analyze data, and give him advice. Although my ability is limited, I believe that as long as I try my best, I will be able to help him.

Uncle Zhong also came out of his initial depression. He began to actively participate in the company's reconstruction and worked with Yuxuan to develop a counterattack plan. Watching the father and son fighting side by side, my heart was filled with hope and strength.

"Yuxuan, can we really get through this difficult time?" Late at night, I snuggled in Yuxuan's arms and asked softly.

Yuxuan hugged me tightly, his eyes firm and confident, "Believe me, we can do it." His voice was low and powerful, like a reassurance, soothing the uneasiness in my heart.

I know that the road ahead is still long and there are still many challenges, but I believe that as long as we unite and never give up, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and usher in the light that belongs to us. And the black hand hiding behind the scenes will eventually be exposed and receive the punishment he deserves!

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the room through the gap in the curtains. I opened my eyes and saw Yuxuan's resolute profile. He had lost weight during this period, and there was a green stubble on his chin, but his eyes were brighter than ever, like two burning flames, full of power. I knew that our dawn was coming.

In the past few days, Yuxuan had hardly slept. He was like a sharp cheetah, not letting go of any clues, and finally he found the weakness of the mysterious man - gambling. This man was addicted to gambling and owed a huge amount of high-interest loans, and the lender turned out to be a transnational criminal group wanted by Interpol.

Yuxuan used his connections and resources to cleverly leak the news to the police and set a trap to lure the mysterious man out. Finally, at a charity dinner, the mysterious man showed his true colors.

"Dear guests, I'm sorry to disturb you." Yuxuan's voice rang out in the banquet hall, clear and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention. He was dressed in a black suit, with an upright posture and sharp eyes, like a sword drawn from its sheath, with an unstoppable momentum. "Today, I want to reveal a truth to you, a truth about conspiracy, betrayal and frame-up."

As Yuxuan continued to talk, a series of videos began to play on the big screen. They were the transaction records between the mysterious man and Li Luoyao and others, as well as evidence of his malicious manipulation of the company's stock price and spreading rumors. The evidence was irrefutable.

There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone looked at everything in front of them in disbelief, as if they were watching a thrilling movie. My heart also fluctuated violently as the video played, anger, sadness, relief, all kinds of emotions intertwined together, almost suffocating me.

Li Luoyao's face was pale, and she tried to flee the scene in panic, but was stopped by the quick-witted security guard. She struggled and screamed like a trapped beast, but she could not change the outcome.

Seeing her in such a state, I felt no pleasure, only deep sorrow. We were once as close as sisters, but now we have ended up in such a situation. Whose fault is it?

"Luo Xue, don't be sad." Yu Xuan held my hand, his palm was warm and dry, giving me infinite strength. "Everything is over, we will start over."

I know that this storm has not completely passed, and the forces behind the mysterious man have not been completely eliminated, but at least, we have seen the dawn of hope. I believe that with the efforts of Yuxuan and Uncle Zhong, the Zhong Group will be able to regain its glory, and Yuxuan and I will work together to overcome difficulties and usher in our own happiness.

The crystal lamps in the banquet hall were still bright, but this time, they were not shining on hypocritical faces, but on the openness after the truth was revealed. After the mysterious man was taken away by the police, the Zhong Group seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden. Under the vigorous decision-making of Yuxuan and Uncle Zhong, the company quickly returned to the right track. The rising stock price curve seemed to indicate that after the storm, there will be a rainbow.

I still remember that night, when I came out of the banquet hall, the night breeze was cool, but I felt extremely relaxed. Yuxuan held my hand tightly, his palm was still warm, but not as hot as before, like the calm sea after the storm, which contained deep power.

"Fortunately, you're okay." He looked down at me, with a hint of fear in his tone. I knew he was worried about me, worried that I would be hurt by the storm.

I shook my head gently, and held his hand tightly with my backhand. Our fingers intertwined, without saying anything, had already conveyed our feelings to each other. After going through all these ups and downs, the feelings between us were not only not erased, but became even more indestructible.

In the following days, Zhong's Group gradually recovered its former glory with the efforts of Yuxuan and Uncle Zhong. I resigned from my previous position in Zhong's Group and began to prepare for Yuxuan and I's wedding. I think it's time to give an explanation for this relationship and it's time for us to start a new life.

Qin Xue is my wedding planner. She enthusiastically selected the wedding dress and venue for me, striving for perfection in every detail. Watching her busy figure, my heart was filled with gratitude and happiness.

"Luo Xue, you don't know that Yuxuan has put a lot of thought into this wedding. He secretly told me that he must give you the most unforgettable wedding!" Qin Xue said with a smile as she flipped through the plan in her hand.

I looked at her, my heart was filled with sweetness. I know that Yuxuan's love for me never needs to be expressed in words, he always uses actions to give me the most real warmth and touch.

The wedding is scheduled to be held in a picturesque island in a month. I hope our love can be as vast as the sea and never dry up.

Just when I was immersed in happiness and anticipation, something unexpected happened. That day, I was trying on a wedding dress, and Yuxuan suddenly walked in with a serious face, holding an unsigned letter in his hand.

"What's wrong?" I looked at him, feeling a little uneasy.

Yuxuan took a deep breath and handed me the letter in his hand, "Read it yourself."

I took the letter, opened it, and my face turned pale. The content of the letter was very simple, but it was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing all my enthusiasm and expectations.

The letter reads: "Don't be happy too soon, the game is not over yet. Although the man has been arrested, there are more powerful forces behind him, and they will not let you go. Wait, the fun is yet to come!"

My hands were shaking slightly, and my heart was filled with fear and anxiety. Could it be that this was not over yet? Could it be that Yuxuan and I were destined to be destroyed again and again? The preparations for the wedding were still in full swing. Qin Xue was like a happy little bird, chirping in my ear every day, sharing all kinds of new ideas. Looking at her excitement, I couldn't relax at all. The content of the anonymous letter was like a heavy stone, pressing on my heart, and it was lingering.

Yuxuan saw my anxiety and always tried to make me happy. He would take me for a walk on the beach to watch the sunset, and he would play my favorite piano music late at night to soothe my anxiety.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." He always said this, his tone firm but gentle, as if he was encouraging me and himself.

I understand his determination and how much he has sacrificed to protect me and the Zhong family. However, the enemy hiding in the dark is like a poisonous snake. We never know when it will suddenly jump out and give us a fatal blow.

This fear of the unknown is even more suffocating than when I faced the mysterious man. I dare not imagine what will happen to Yuxuan and me, and our future, if something unexpected really happens.

On the eve of the wedding, Yuxuan suddenly received a mysterious phone call. He only said "I know" and hung up in a hurry with a terribly solemn expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" I asked nervously, my heart in my throat.

He took a deep breath and hugged me. "It's okay. It's just that something happened at the company. I'll be back soon. You should go to bed early and don't think too much."

His embrace was as warm as ever, but I could still feel the tension in his body and the turbulent emotions hidden beneath his calm appearance.

"Yuxuan..." I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say. I could only hold on to the corner of his clothes tightly, as if I was holding on to the last straw.

He bent down and kissed my forehead, his eyes firm and gentle, "Trust me, I will take care of everything, you just need to be at ease and be my bride."

After saying that, he turned and left, his back looking resolute and lonely.

I stood there, watching his back as he walked away, feeling anxious and fearful. Outside the window, the night was dark, as if foreshadowing a bigger storm was about to come. I held the anonymous letter tightly, my palms were cold, and the last sentence in the letter kept echoing in my mind: The best is yet to come!
