The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 39 A False Alarm

The feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger, and my consciousness began to blur. Just when I thought I was about to pass out, "Night Owl" suddenly let go of my hand.

I collapsed to the ground helplessly, breathing in fresh air in big gulps. "Cough cough..." I coughed violently, feeling like my throat was on fire.

Night Owl looked down at me with a cold look in his eyes. "I'll give you one last chance. Do you agree or not?"

I raised my head, looked at him firmly, and said word by word: "I will not betray Yuxuan!"

There was a flash of anger in Night Owl's eyes. He was about to say something when suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the factory gate was kicked open from the outside, and a group of bodyguards in black rushed in, led by Zhong Yuxuan!

He pulled me up from the ground, held me tightly in his arms, and asked anxiously: "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

I shook my head, tears welling up in my eyes. "I'm fine, Yuxuan, I'm fine..."

Zhong Yuxuan then noticed the photos and USB flash drive on the ground. His face instantly darkened and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Who kidnapped you?" His voice was low and dangerous, like a Shura from hell.

I was about to speak, but Night Owl beat me to it.

"Zhong Yuxuan, don't waste your energy. I won't tell you who ordered this!" After saying this, "Night Owl" took out a smoke bomb from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

"Cough cough..." The pungent smoke spread instantly, and my eyes were blurred and I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Luo Xue!" I heard Zhong Yuxuan's anxious voice, and then I lost consciousness.

……

When I woke up again, I found myself lying on a hospital bed.

"Luo Xue, you're awake!" Qin Xue's surprised voice sounded in my ears.

I turned around and saw Qin Xue and Li Luoyao sitting by the bed, looking at me with concern.

"What's wrong with me?" I struggled to sit up, but felt sore and weak all over.

"Do you still remember that you were kidnapped?" Qin Xue asked.

"I remember..." I nodded, "Was it Yuxuan who saved me?"

"Yes, it was Yuxuan and the police who saved you." Li Luoyao said, "You have been unconscious for a day and a night, and Yuxuan has been staying by your side all the time."

"Yuxuan..." I murmured the name, my heart filled with emotion and guilt.

"Luo Xue, don't worry, I have found some clues." Qin Xue said, "I believe we will soon find out who is behind this."

"I will also do my best to find the person who kidnapped me." Li Luoyao also said.

I looked at them with gratitude, and my heart was filled with warmth.

"By the way, Uncle Zhong is here too. He is talking to Yuxuan outside." Qin Xue said suddenly.

My heart sank suddenly. Uncle Zhong also knew about this... "Uncle Zhong..." I muttered to myself, and Uncle Zhong's majestic face appeared in my mind. How would he view this? Would he be more opposed to Yuxuan and I being together?

Just as I was daydreaming, the door of the ward was pushed open and Zhong Yuxuan and a middle-aged man walked in.

This middle-aged man is tall and dignified. Although there are fine lines on the corners of his eyes, it still can't hide the majesty between his brows. He is Zhong Yuxuan's father, Zhong Shuhao.

"Luo Xue, how do you feel?" Zhong Shuhao walked to the bedside with a hint of concern in his tone.

"Uncle Zhong, I'm fine. I'm sorry to have made you worry." I said quickly.

Zhong Shuhao nodded and turned to look at Zhong Yuxuan, "Yuxuan, I have heard about this matter. You did a great job."

Zhong Yuxuan's face did not show any joy. "Dad, I will definitely investigate this matter and bring the mastermind to justice!"

"Well, I will use all my resources to help you with this matter." Zhong Shuhao said, "Don't worry and do it boldly. I will support you."

My heart trembled suddenly. Uncle Zhong was willing to use his own resources to help me! This showed that he was not angry with me because of this matter.

After Zhong Shuhao left, Qin Xue leaned close to my ear and whispered, "It seems that Uncle Zhong has no objection to you and Yuxuan being together."

I blushed, "Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Zhong is just concerned about me."

Qin Xue smiled and said, "Care can lead to confusion. I think Uncle Zhong has recognized you a long time ago."

I felt happy inside, but I still said, "This matter is not over yet. Let's wait until we catch the mastermind."

In the following days, I stayed in the hospital to recover from my injuries. Zhong Yuxuan stayed by my side all the time, feeding me, telling me stories, and making me happy. Under his careful care, I soon recovered.

At the same time, Zhong Yuxuan was also fully investigating the mastermind behind the kidnapping case. He mobilized all resources and finally found some clues.

"Luo Xue, I have found out the whereabouts of Night Owl." On this day, Zhong Yuxuan suddenly appeared in front of me, "He is hiding in an abandoned factory."

My heart suddenly tightened, "When do we act?"

"I have already made the arrangements. We will take action tonight." A cold light flashed in Zhong Yuxuan's eyes. "This time, I will definitely catch them all in one fell swoop!"

As night fell, Zhong Yuxuan, Qin Xue, Li Luoyao, and I, as well as a team of bodyguards sent by Zhong Shuhao, quietly came to the abandoned factory.

The factory was completely dark, with only a few dim lights illuminating the dilapidated surroundings. The air was filled with a damp and musty smell, which made people feel depressed.

"Everyone be careful, 'Night Owl' may have set an ambush here." Zhong Yuxuan said in a low voice.

We moved forward cautiously. The factory was silent, with only the sound of our footsteps echoing in the empty space, which increased the tension in our hearts.

Suddenly, a faint voice came from the front, like someone talking.

"It's just ahead!" Zhong Yuxuan whispered, "Everyone be alert!"

We slowed down our pace and moved towards the direction of the sound... We held our breath, slowed our pace, and slowly approached the target area. Through a half-open iron door, I saw several shadows swaying in the dim light. One of the shadows was tied to a chair. I couldn't see his face, but judging from his figure, it should be me who was kidnapped.

"Listen, people inside, you are surrounded. Put down your weapons and release the hostages!" A deafening voice suddenly sounded outside the factory. The bodyguards brought by Zhong Shuhao had surrounded the factory.

"Oops, we've been discovered!" The shadows in the room were obviously panicking, and one of them said to another viciously, "Third brother, hurry up, get rid of her, and we'll retreat from the back door!"

Hearing this, my heart suddenly rose to my throat. Am I going to die here? I closed my eyes in despair, waiting for death to come.

There was a gunshot and I trembled with fear, but the expected pain did not come. I opened my eyes and saw Zhong Yuxuan rushing into the room like a cheetah, with smoke coming out of the gun in his hand.

"Luo Xue, are you okay?" Zhong Yuxuan ran to my side and checked on me anxiously.

"I'm fine..." I shook my head, watching everything happening in front of me in shock.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you." Zhong Yuxuan held my hand tightly and gave me a reassuring look.

In the chaos, I saw one of the shadows tried to escape, but was caught by the quick-witted Qin Xue, and the two wrestled with each other. Although Qin Xue was petite, she was very agile and subdued the opponent in a few moves.

"Don't move! Police!" At this time, a burst of orderly footsteps came from outside the factory, and a large group of police officers filed in and surrounded the remaining black shadows.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and my heart finally settled down. It turned out that Zhong Yuxuan had contacted the police before the operation and provided them with the clues we had found before, so the police were able to arrive in time and catch these criminals in one fell swoop.

When I was being escorted to the police car, I noticed that one of the shadows struggled to look back at me, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness, as if foreshadowing something. My heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came over me.

"Who is that person?" I pointed at the dark shadow and asked Zhong Yuxuan beside me.

"He is 'Night Owl'." Zhong Yuxuan's tone was cold, with a gleam of coldness in his eyes. "I will make him pay for his actions!"

Although the "Night Owl" was arrested, I was not completely relieved. The look in the shadow's eyes before he left was like a thorn in my heart, making me restless. I felt that this kidnapping case was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and there seemed to be a bigger conspiracy behind it... I was tightly hugged by Zhong Yuxuan, and his heartbeat was right next to my ears, so strong and so real. The fear and fear of surviving the robbery made me tremble in his arms, and his warm embrace was my only sense of security at the moment.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here." Zhong Yuxuan repeated this sentence over and over again, as if he wanted to carve me into his bones and blood. The faint smell of tobacco mixed with the scent of male hormones on his body gradually calmed me down.

Qin Xue and Li Luoyao also came over, they still had frightened expressions on their faces, but their eyes were full of worry and concern.

"Luo Xue, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Li Luoyao's voice trembled a little, and I could see that she was really worried about me.

I shook my head and forced a smile: "I'm fine, sorry to have made you worried."

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." Qin Xue patted my shoulder, with a hint of fear in her tone, "Luckily Yuxuan arrived in time, otherwise..."

"There won't be a next time." Zhong Yuxuan's voice was as cold as ice, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes. "I will bring all those involved in this to justice."

The police quickly took control of the scene and took away the kidnappers. At this time, a sharp-eyed policeman found a dropped mobile phone on the ground. The screen of the mobile phone was still on, showing an unfamiliar number.

"Mr. Zhong, look at this." The police handed the phone to Zhong Yuxuan.

Zhong Yuxuan took the phone and frowned slightly. He clicked on the call log and found that the note of the most recent contact was "boss".

"Boss..." Zhong Yuxuan muttered to himself, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "It seems that 'Night Owl' is just a pawn, and there is a dark hand behind the scenes."

He immediately ordered his assistant: "Check this number, I want to know all the information."

The assistant nodded and hurried away with his phone.

We followed the police back to the police station, and it was already late at night when we finished recording our statements. Zhong Yuxuan insisted on taking me back, and I had no choice but to agree.

We didn't talk along the way, and the car was filled with a heavy atmosphere. My mind kept replaying everything that happened today, the look in the shadow's eyes before he left, and the mysterious "boss". All of this was like a fog, making me feel uneasy.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhong Yuxuan suddenly broke the silence.

"Nothing." I shook my head, not wanting to worry him.

Zhong Yuxuan glanced at me and didn't ask any more questions. He reached out and held my hand, interlocking our fingers. His hand was warm and strong, as if it could dispel all my fears and anxieties.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." His voice was low and firm, as if he was making a promise.

I nodded and gently leaned my head on his shoulder. I knew that no matter what dangers lay ahead, I would no longer be alone because he was by my side.

However, we know that the threat of the mysterious man has not been completely eliminated, and a greater crisis is yet to come.

After returning home, I took a hot bath, trying to wash away my fatigue and shock. The warm water flowed over my skin, but it couldn't take away the uneasiness deep in my heart. Zhong Yuxuan was right, this is not over yet. The mysterious "boss" is like a ghost hiding in the dark, and I don't know when he will appear again and stretch out his claws towards me.

I changed into my pajamas and walked out of the bathroom. I saw Zhong Yuxuan sitting on the sofa in the living room with a tablet in his hand. His brows were furrowed, and I didn't know what he was looking at.

"Are you still asleep?" I walked over to sit next to him and asked softly.

He raised his head and saw me. There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes. He took me into his arms and said, "I'm waiting for you."

I snuggled in his arms, feeling the warmth and security coming from him, and the uneasiness in my heart eased a little.

"What are you looking at?" I asked curiously, my eyes falling on the tablet in his hand.

"I'm checking the information of that mysterious number." He pointed to a string of numbers on the screen and said, "We already have some clues."

I took a closer look and saw some investigation results about the number on the screen, but the information was limited. I could only find that the number was registered through an overseas network and the user was very cautious and did not leave any real-name information.

"It seems that this 'boss' is very cautious." I frowned, feeling even more uneasy. "Why did he kidnap me? What does he want to do?"

A cold light flashed in Zhong Yuxuan's eyes, "I will definitely find out the truth and will not let him get away with it."

In the next few days, Zhong Yuxuan was busy investigating the mysterious number, and I tried to keep myself calm and wait for the results of the investigation. Qin Xue and Li Luoyao often came to see me, chatted with me, went shopping with me, and tried to help me divert my attention, but I could feel that their hearts were also full of anxiety and worry like me.

That night, I was reading in my room when I suddenly heard a noise downstairs. I was startled and quickly put down the book, got up and walked to the window to look downstairs.

Zhong Yuxuan's car was parked at the gate of the villa. He was getting out of the car with a gloomy face and angry flames in his eyes. Behind him, there were several bodyguards in black, one of whom was holding a black briefcase in his hand, which looked heavy.

I had a bad feeling and turned around and ran downstairs.

"What happened?" I ran to Zhong Yuxuan and asked anxiously.

When he saw me, his expression eased a little, and he reached out and held me in his arms, "It's okay, don't worry."

"Are you really alright?" I looked up at his serious expression, feeling even more uneasy. "Did that 'boss' do something again?"

He took a deep breath and did not answer my question. Instead, he turned to the bodyguard behind him and said, "Bring the things up."

The bodyguard nodded, took the briefcase and followed us into the living room. Zhong Yuxuan signaled the bodyguard to open the briefcase, and saw several documents and a black laptop inside.

"What is this?" I asked puzzledly.

"This is..." Zhong Yuxuan paused, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, "This was dropped by the kidnapper when he escaped. I think there should be some clues about the 'boss' in it."
