The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 44: Turning defeat into victory

As I regained consciousness, I felt aches all over my body, as if I had been run over by a truck. I tried to open my heavy eyelids, but the glaring light made me close them instinctively. The sound of instruments ticking in my ears, mixed with the smell of disinfectant, reminded me that I was in a hospital.

"Luo Xue! You're awake!" The familiar voice was full of surprise and worry. I turned my head with great effort and saw Zhong Yuxuan's anxious face. He held my hand, his eyes were bloodshot, and he obviously hadn't slept all night.

"I..." I wanted to speak, but found that my throat was so dry that I could only make a weak sound. Seeing this, Zhong Yuxuan quickly poured a cup of warm water and handed it to me. I drank a few sips greedily and felt much better.

"Don't be in a hurry to talk, the doctor said you need to rest." Zhong Yuxuan stroked my hair gently, his tone full of heartache.

I shook my head and said weakly, "I'm fine. I want to tell you something about their..."

I took a deep breath and told Zhong Yuxuan everything that had happened to me since I was kidnapped, including the internal structure of the criminal group, the transaction location, and their next plan. When I talked about how they used technology to manipulate the stock market and conduct illegal transactions, his face became increasingly gloomy, and his fists were clenched tightly, with veins bulging.

“Damn it!” Zhong Yuxuan gritted his teeth and said, “They are so lawless! Luo Xue, don’t worry, I will make them pay the price!”

I held his hand tightly and said, "Yuxuan, you have to be careful, they are very cunning, and there are..."

At this point, I suddenly thought of that mysterious man, the one who was manipulating everything behind the scenes. Who was he? Why did he target me and Zhong Yuxuan? What kind of conspiracy was hidden behind all this?

I tried hard to recall more details, but my head started to split as if something was preventing me from remembering key information.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhong Yuxuan noticed something was wrong with me and asked with concern.

I shook my head, trying to suppress the discomfort, and said, "I'm fine, just a little tired. Yuxuan, promise me that you will bring them to justice!"

Zhong Yuxuan nodded solemnly, his eyes firm: "I promise you, Luo Xue. You just focus on recovering, and leave the rest to me."

Watching Zhong Yuxuan leave, my heart was filled with worry and anxiety. This battle has just begun. Can we defeat evil and bring them to justice? Who is that mysterious man, and what means will he use to deal with us?

All of this is unknown...

After Zhong Yuxuan left, my heart was hanging in the air. I knew he would do his best to deal with those people, but I was more afraid that he would be in danger. I forced myself to calm down. The most important thing now was to take good care of my body so that I could help him at the critical moment.

A few days later, Qin Xue rushed into the ward with a laptop in her hand. "Luo Xue, guess what? I found a breakthrough!" She said excitedly, her eyes sparkling.

"What breakthrough?" I asked curiously.

"Do you remember you told me that they used a special encryption software to transmit information? I spent several days and finally cracked their encryption algorithm!" Qin Xue raised the laptop in her hand proudly, "Now, I can access their internal network and get more evidence!"

I suddenly became excited, grabbed her hand and asked, "Really? That's great! What did you find out?"

Qin Xue's face suddenly became serious. She turned on the computer and pulled out a document for me to see. "You can take a look at it yourself."

I took the computer and read the contents of the file carefully. It was a transaction record that recorded the illegal transactions of the criminal group over the years. The amount was shocking. What shocked me even more was that the document also mentioned a mysterious person codenamed "X", who was the real behind-the-scenes manipulator of this criminal group.

"'X'? Who is it?" I muttered to myself, with countless guesses running through my mind, but I still couldn't determine his identity.

"I have asked my team to track down this 'X'," Qin Xue said, "I believe there will be results soon."

At this moment, the door of the ward was gently pushed open, and Zhong Yuxuan walked in. When he saw Qin Xue and I were there, he smiled. "It seems like you guys had a great time chatting."

"Yuxuan, you're here just in time," I quickly handed him the computer, "Take a look at this."

Zhong Yuxuan took the computer and read the contents of the document carefully. His face became more and more solemn, and his brows were tightly locked together.

"It seems that we still have a lot of things to do." He put down the computer and said firmly, "Luo Xue, don't worry, I will definitely bring them to justice and give you an explanation."

I nodded, my heart full of hope. I believe that with the help of Zhong Yuxuan and Qin Xue, we will be able to defeat evil and bring those criminals to justice. But who is that mysterious "X"? Why is he targeting us? What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind all this?

My heart was still full of doubts and uneasiness. I felt that this was just the beginning, and a bigger storm was still to come... Qin Xue's words gave me great confidence. I felt that I was no longer the little woman who could only hide behind Zhong Yuxuan for shelter. I began to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and work hard to exercise. I knew that I had to get better as soon as possible so that I could fight side by side with them.

One afternoon, Li Luoyao came to see me in the hospital. It was the first time we had met since I last saw her at the Zhong family's old house. She had obviously lost a lot of weight, and her originally delicate makeup had become haggard, but her eyes were unusually firm, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden.

"Luo Xue," She walked to my bedside and gently held my hand, "I'm sorry, I did a lot of wrong things before."

I looked at her sincere eyes, feeling mixed emotions. I knew she had a hard time these years, blinded by vanity and jealousy, and ended up like this.

"Let the past be the past," I patted her hands, "The most important thing now is that we must work together to bring those bad guys to justice."

Li Luoyao nodded, tears in her eyes. "I have contacted some people I knew before. Some of them were also controlled by that criminal group and had no control over their lives. I will persuade them to come forward and testify, so that those people will receive the punishment they deserve."

I held her hand tightly, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. I knew that we were no longer fighting alone, the forces of justice were gathering, and the dawn of victory was just ahead.

A few days later, Qin Xue brought good news. "I have found their lair! They are conducting a secret deal, and we can catch them in the act!"

Zhong Yuxuan looked at the map and said solemnly, "This operation is very dangerous. Are you sure you want to go together?"

"Of course!" Qin Xue and I answered in unison.

That night, it was dark and windy, and we took advantage of the cover of darkness to sneak into the secret base of the criminal group. The air was filled with tension, and my palms were full of sweat, but I held the gun tightly in my hand, telling myself not to be afraid, I must face it all bravely.

"Bang!" With a gunshot, the battle officially began. In the darkness, gunfire flashed and the shouts of killing were deafening. I followed closely behind Zhong Yuxuan. His figure was like an indestructible fortress, giving me an infinite sense of security.

I took a deep breath, tried to keep myself calm, raised the gun in my hand, aimed at the enemy in front of me and pulled the trigger. I never thought that one day I would pick up a weapon and fight against the vicious criminals, but I knew that this was the fate I had to face.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in my sight. It was the mysterious man codenamed "X"! He was dressed in black and wearing a black mask, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes, staring at me like a venomous snake. My heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

"Luo Xue, be careful!" Zhong Yuxuan noticed something was wrong with me, and protected me behind him, staring at the mysterious man vigilantly.

"Heh," the mysterious man sneered, "Zhong Yuxuan, we meet again. You tried every means to find me, and now I'm here, what do you want to do?" His voice was low and hoarse, like the voice of a ghost coming from hell, which made people shudder.

"Why are you doing this?" I poked my head out from behind Zhong Yuxuan and asked with courage, "We have no grudges against you, why are you treating us so cruelly?"

"No grudges?" The mysterious man laughed as if he had heard something funny. "Li Luoxue, you are such a forgetful person! Have you forgotten who caused my family to be destroyed and who turned me into this half-human, half-ghost appearance now?"

His words were like a flash of lightning, splitting the fog deep in my memory. I finally remembered that the man in front of me, full of hatred, was the one who was kicked out of the Li family many years ago...

I was stunned on the spot, my mind went blank. I couldn't imagine that the helpless boy back then had turned into such a terrifying avenger.

"Luo Xue, don't be afraid, I'm here." Zhong Yuxuan held my hand tightly, his hand was warm and powerful, as if giving me unlimited strength. I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

"I can explain what happened in the past," I looked at the mysterious man and said word by word, "but no matter what, you shouldn't hurt innocent people. You've made a mistake, stop it, and don't make another mistake."

"Stop? Haha..." The mysterious man laughed wildly, "Don't you think it's too late to say this now? Today, I will make all of you pay the price for what you did back then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his pistol and pointed it at Zhong Yuxuan...

With a "bang" of a gunshot, my heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, and everything in front of me became blurry. I closed my eyes instinctively, but I heard Zhong Yuxuan's painful groan.

"Yuxuan!" I opened my eyes suddenly and saw Zhong Yuxuan holding his arm in pain, with bright red blood seeping out from between his fingers. My mind was blank, fear, worry, anger, all kinds of emotions intertwined, almost swallowing me up.

"Are you okay?" I checked his wound with trembling hands, my voice trembling with fear.

Zhong Yuxuan endured the pain and shook his head at me to indicate that he was fine, but his pale face and the cold sweat on his forehead revealed his pain at the moment.

"Don't worry, I won't let him hurt you." Zhong Yuxuan held on to his body, looking at the mysterious man firmly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his tone.

At this moment, a figure rushed to the mysterious man like lightning, and with a beautiful shoulder throw, threw him hard to the ground.

"Qin Xue?!" I looked at this heroic woman in front of me in surprise. Wasn't she already...

"Luo Xue, long time no see. Did you miss me?" Qin Xue blinked at me and smiled slyly, as if we were not meeting at a critical moment of life and death, but in some relaxed occasion.

"Why are you here?" I haven't recovered from the shock yet.

"It's a long story. Let's deal with this guy first." Qin Xue pointed at the mysterious man she had subdued, then turned to look at Zhong Yuxuan, "How are you? Can you still hold on?"

"I won't die." Zhong Yuxuan covered his wound, his face still pale.

At this moment, Li Luoyao arrived with a group of police officers and surrounded the mysterious man. Seeing that I was safe and sound, Li Luoyao was obviously relieved, and his eyes were slightly red.

"Sister, I'm glad you're okay." Li Luoyao walked to my side, her voice choked with sobs.

I looked at her with mixed feelings. We had once been enemies because of a man, but now she was standing by me, helping me deal with our common enemy.

"Thank you, Luoyao." I hugged her gently, and everything was said without words.

The mysterious man was taken away by the police, and the nightmare finally ended. Zhong Yuxuan and I were also sent to the hospital for treatment. Lying on the hospital bed, I couldn't calm down for a long time.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhong Yuxuan's voice brought me back to reality from my thoughts.

"Nothing, I just feel like this is all a dream." I turned to look at him, my eyes slightly red, "Fortunately, you're okay."

"Silly boy, I promised you that I would always protect you. I mean what I said." Zhong Yuxuan reached out and gently stroked my cheek, his eyes as gentle as water.

After going through this series of ups and downs, our relationship has become deeper and we cherish each other more. We decided to go hand in hand into the future and never separate again.

"By the way, why did Qin Xue suddenly appear? Also, isn't she..." I suddenly remembered what happened to Qin Xue before, and my heart was full of doubts.

Zhong Yuxuan smiled slightly, signaling me to stay calm, then slowly opened his mouth and told me the whole story...
