The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 33 In Danger

I never thought that the joy of escaping the secret passage would be so short-lived.

We are surrounded.

Dozens of men in black, as if emerging from the ground, silently surrounded us in the clearing in the woods. They were all tall and strong, holding shining weapons, with no expression on their faces, like a group of emotionless machines.

"Who are you?" Zhong Yuxuan protected Qin Xue and me behind him, his voice low and full of unquestionable majesty.

The only response he got was suffocating silence.

"Who sent you here? What's your purpose?" Zhong Yuxuan spoke again, with a hint of impatience in his tone. However, the man in black still ignored him, but slowly raised the weapon in his hand and approached us.

"It seems we've fallen into a trap." Zhong Yuxuan's face became solemn, he clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force.

I nervously grabbed Zhong Yuxuan's sleeves, my palms were full of cold sweat. My heart was beating so hard that it seemed to jump out of my throat. I was terribly scared, but I couldn't retreat, let alone drag Zhong Yuxuan down.

"Luo Xue, I will try my best to hold them back later, and you find a chance to escape." Zhong Yuxuan's voice sounded in my ears with a hint of determination.

"No, I won't leave you alone!" I held his hand tightly, "Let's go together!"

"Don't be silly, Luo Xue." Zhong Yuxuan's tone was filled with helplessness, "Now is not the time to be stubborn. If you stay, you will only become a burden to me."

"I..." I wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Qin Xue.

"Luo Xue, listen to Yu Xuan, let's escape first!" Qin Xue said anxiously, "If something happens to you, how can I explain it to my uncle and aunt?"

I knew now was not the time to argue, so I could only bite my lip and nodded, but I secretly made up my mind that no matter what, I would face it together with Zhong Yuxuan.

"Attack!" The leading man in black gave an order, and dozens of men in black pounced on us like tigers descending from the mountains.

Zhong Yuxuan didn't hesitate at all. He pushed Qin Xue and I behind him and rushed towards the men in black. He was agile and punched fiercely, and each move hit the vital points. In a flash, two or three men in black were knocked to the ground by him.

However, there were too many enemies. They kept coming up, as if they would never get tired. Although Zhong Yuxuan was very skilled, two fists could not defeat four hands, and gradually, he began to be unable to hold on.

I hid behind a tree, watching Zhong Yuxuan being besieged by men in black, and I was extremely anxious. I wanted to rush out to help him, but I knew that if I went, I would only become a burden to him.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered that I still had the engineer shovel I picked up in the secret passage in my backpack...

I gritted my teeth, made up my mind, dodged from behind the tree, and rushed to the battlefield. I wielded the engineer shovel in my hand with great vigor, and unexpectedly repelled several men in black who tried to sneak attack Zhong Yuxuan.

"Luo Xue, why did you come out?!" Zhong Yuxuan was shocked and angry. While he was distracted, a bloody cut appeared on his arm.

My heart tightened and I didn't bother to explain. I just gritted my teeth and forced the man in black around me to retreat.

"It's already this late, and you're still talking about this!"

At this moment, a figure flashed by like lightning and joined the battle. I looked closely and it turned out to be Li Luoyao! She was agile and fierce, and I didn't know when a dagger appeared in her hand. Every move was deadly, and she was even more fierce than those well-trained men in black.

"Why are you here?" I asked in surprise.

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Li Luoyao said while fending off the attack from the man in black, "Let's find a way to get out of here first!"

Then I remembered that now was not the time to reminisce about the past, and the most urgent task was to get out of the current predicament.

With the participation of Li Luoyao and I, the battle was not as difficult as before. Although Zhong Yuxuan was injured in many places, he was still very brave. Although Qin Xue had no martial arts, she cleverly used the surrounding environment to create obstacles and buy time for us.

She dumped out everything in her backpack, including perfume, cosmetics, and even a few packs of tissues, all of which she threw at the men in black as weapons. The pungent smell of the perfume and the powder from the cosmetics threw the men in black into disarray.

"Luo Xue, look!" Qin Xue suddenly pointed not far away and shouted.

I followed her gaze and saw a black sedan parked not far away with its door wide open. A man in a black windbreaker and a black top hat was standing next to the car, looking at us coldly.

He was tall and had a chilling aura of oppression. Although I couldn't see his face clearly, I could feel that his eyes were fixed on me, as if he could see through me.

"It's him! He arranged all this!" I was shocked and pointed at the mysterious man and said to Zhong Yuxuan.

Zhong Yuxuan also saw the mysterious man. His face changed and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Want to escape? Not that easy!" The mysterious man sneered and snapped his fingers.

The men in black around seemed to have received some instructions and attacked more fiercely, with murderous intent in every move.

Just then, I noticed that every time the mysterious man gave an order, he would have a habitual movement - the emerald ring on his right index finger would turn slightly.

Could it be... that this ring is his weakness?

My mind raced, and a bold idea formed in my mind. Instead of waiting to die, it's better to give it a try! I took a deep breath and shouted to Zhong Yuxuan and Li Luoyao, "Help me stop these people, I'll go deal with him!"

After saying that, without waiting for their reaction, I bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it hard towards the place where the men in black were concentrated.

"Be careful!" Zhong Yuxuan exclaimed, but it was too late.

The stone hit a man in black on the head, making a dull sound, and the man in black fell to the ground. The surrounding men in black were startled by this sudden change, and their attack rhythm also slowed down.

I seized this opportunity, crouched, and quickly moved in the direction of the mysterious man. Along the way, I tried my best to use trees and bushes as cover to avoid the sight of the man in black.

"Luo Xue, what are you doing? It's dangerous!" Qin Xue's voice came from not far away, with a hint of trembling.

I looked back at her, gave her a reassuring look, and continued to rush forward.

My heart was beating violently and my palms were full of cold sweat. I never thought that one day I would be so brave and dare to face such a dangerous situation.

Close, closer!

I held my breath, hid behind a big tree, and observed the mysterious man's every move.

He seemed to be completely unconcerned about my actions. He just looked coldly at the man in black who was entangled by Zhong Yuxuan and others. The jade ring on his right index finger was still rotating one by one according to some pattern.

opportunity!

I focused my eyes, watched the opportunity, flashed out from behind the tree, and rushed towards the mysterious man at lightning speed!

"Looking for death!" The mysterious man obviously did not expect me to appear suddenly. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by cold murderous intent.

He moved his body, trying to dodge my attack, but I had already seized the opportunity. I rushed to him in one step, jumped high, and slashed the emerald ring on his wrist with my right leg like a whip!

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the emerald ring shattered into pieces!

"You..." The mysterious man's face changed drastically. He looked at me in disbelief. For the first time, a look of panic appeared in his eyes.

I was delighted, knowing that my bet was right. This jade ring was indeed his weakness!

However, before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I felt a powerful force erupting from the mysterious man's body, knocking me out!

I was thrown away by the force and fell heavily a few meters away. The world was spinning in front of my eyes. Before I could recover, I heard a loud noise behind me, deafening!

I looked back instinctively, and saw that where the mysterious man had been standing, flames were rising into the sky, and a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky! The shock wave generated by the explosion was like an invisible big hand, pushing me to the ground fiercely.

"Luo Xue!" Zhong Yuxuan's heart-wrenching cry came to his ears, but he was soon drowned out by the loud noise of the explosion.

I struggled to get up, but found myself powerless and could only watch everything in front of me being engulfed by the flames. The Li family's old house, the place that carried my childhood memories, was turning into ruins before my eyes.

The explosion continued, and the flames were like dancing dragons, ravaging everything around. The thick smoke billowed, covering the sky and the sun, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

"Cough cough..." I coughed violently, my vision became blurry and my consciousness began to fade away.

Faintly, I saw Zhong Yuxuan, Qin Xue, Li Luoyao and the others running towards me desperately, their faces full of fear and anxiety.

"Go away! Don't worry about me!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, using up my last bit of strength.

However, they seemed not to hear what I said and still rushed towards me without hesitation.

"No..." I wanted to stop them, but no sound came out.

At that moment, another deafening explosion sounded, and the scene in front of my eyes instantly turned blank...

I didn't know how long I was unconscious. When I woke up again, I found myself lying on a soft bed. The room was very quiet, with only the occasional sound of birds singing outside the window.

I struggled to sit up, but found that my whole body was sore and I had no strength at all.

"Are you awake?" A familiar voice came from the side, with a hint of surprise and worry.

I turned around and saw Zhong Yuxuan sitting on the edge of the bed. His face was a little pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was a layer of blue stubble on his chin. It was obvious that he hadn't had a good rest for several days.

"I...we..." I opened my mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Don't talk, you've been in a coma for three days. The doctor said you need to rest well." Zhong Yuxuan held my hand and said gently.

His hands were warm and strong, which made me feel extremely safe.

"Where are the others? How are they?" I asked anxiously, suppressing my physical discomfort.

Zhong Yuxuan was silent for a moment, then he slowly said: "Qin Xue was slightly injured, she is fine now. Li Luoyao...she was hit by a falling beam in order to protect me, and she is still unconscious in the hospital..."

His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of sadness that was hard to conceal.

My heart sank suddenly and an ominous premonition came over me.

"Then...what about that mysterious man? Did he catch Li Luoyao?" I held Zhong Yuxuan's hand tightly and asked in a trembling voice.

Zhong Yuxuan shook his head and looked at me with complicated eyes, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"What's going on? Tell me!" I was filled with anxiety and fear and almost collapsed.

"After the explosion, the scene was in a mess. Apart from a few of us, no one else was found..." Zhong Yuxuan's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

My heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to my heart.

Could it be that... Li Luoyao was really captured by that mysterious person? The thick smell of gunpowder filled my nose, and everything in front of me was stained with a gray color. I tried hard to see the surrounding environment clearly, but I found that my vision was blurry and my ears were buzzing, as if I was in a silent world.

"Cough cough..." I coughed violently, trying to keep myself awake. I remembered that before the explosion, I saw Zhong Yuxuan and the others, they ran towards me desperately, but what happened afterwards? Where were they?

I struggled to get up, but found myself unable to move. Looking down, I saw a huge stone slab pressing down on my legs, which was extremely heavy. I tried to push the stone slab away, but it didn't move at all.

"Help! Is there anyone there?" I shouted with all my strength, hoping someone could hear me. However, the only response I got was deathly silence.

Despair surged towards me like a tide. I was trapped here, not knowing how long it had been, or how long I could hold on. My consciousness began to blur, and hallucinations appeared before my eyes. I seemed to see Zhong Yuxuan's anxious face, calling my name over and over again, but I could not respond to him.

No! I can't just give up like this! I still have a lot of things to do. I still have to find my biological parents. I still have to live happily with Zhong Yuxuan, Qin Xue and the others!

I gritted my teeth and tried to move the stone slab on me again. This time, I felt it seemed to loosen a little. A glimmer of hope ignited in my heart, and I pushed the stone slab with all my strength, and finally climbed out of the ruins.

I looked around, and all I could see were broken walls and ruins. The home I once knew had now become a ruin. Zhong Yuxuan, Qin Xue, Li Luoyao...they were all gone.

"Yuxuan! Qinxue! Luoyao!" I shouted their names at the top of my lungs, but there was no response. My heart gradually sank to the bottom, and an ominous premonition came to my mind. Could it be... that they all met with an accident?
