The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 50 Investigating the Truth

I took a deep breath, turned my head and looked at Zhong Yuxuan's determined eyes, and finally made up my mind: "Yuxuan, I want to investigate Li Luoyao. I want to know who she is and what is her purpose in approaching me and the Li family?"

Zhong Yuxuan didn't say anything, but just held my hand tightly and told me with his eyes that he supported any decision I made.

"Don't worry, I won't act impulsively." I understood his concerns and gave him a reassuring smile. "I've hired a private detective. I want to start with Li Luoyao's past to see if I can find any clues."

"Okay, I'll ask Qin Xue to help too." Zhong Yuxuan said, then took out his cell phone and called Qin Xue.

Qin Xue's efficiency was as high as ever, and she brought a lot of news the next day.

"I have used some connections and found out that Li Luoyao has indeed been very close to many wealthy families in recent years, and..." Qin Xue lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "I found that she often goes in and out of some private clubs. Those places are full of good and bad people, and there seems to be some gray industries involved behind them."

"Gray industry?" I immediately became alert, and Li Luoyao's hypocritical smile emerged in my mind. Could it be that all this was just a scam she carefully planned?

"Yes, I found out that the owner of one of the clubs has close ties with an organization called 'Black Hawk.'" Qin Xue continued, "This organization acts in secret and is said to be very powerful. It is involved in illegal activities such as smuggling and money laundering."

My heart sank. How could Li Luoyao be associated with such a dangerous organization? Could it be that she was approaching me and the Li family for some ulterior motive?

"I have asked private detectives to focus on Li Luoyao's connection with the 'Black Hawk' organization. I believe there will be results soon." Zhong Yuxuan's voice brought me back to reality.

I looked at him gratefully, my heart filled with anxiety and anticipation. Li Luoyao, how many secrets are you hiding? I will definitely bring you to justice and give me justice!

A few days later, the private detective finally got some news. I nervously took the document bag he handed over, my heart beating faster, as if it contained the key to unlock the truth.

"Ms. Li, I have been following Li Luoyao for some time and found that she has close contacts with a mysterious business organization called 'Tianshu'." The private detective lowered his voice and spoke seriously, "This organization is ostensibly engaged in investment consulting, but according to my investigation, they are suspected of manipulating the stock market, conducting illegal fund-raising, and even involved in some transnational money laundering activities."

My hands were shaking slightly as I flipped through the photos and information in the file bag. Each one was like a heavy hammer, hitting my heart hard. In the photos, Li Luoyao was chatting and laughing with some well-dressed and fierce people, completely different from her usual weak and innocent appearance.

"'Tianshu'..." Zhong Yuxuan chewed on the name again and again, frowning, "I seem to have heard of this organization somewhere, but my impression is very vague."

"Yuxuan, do you think Li Luoyao is a pawn planted by Tianshu in the Li family?" My voice trembled a little, and a terrible thought emerged in my mind, "She approached us, perhaps to steal business secrets from the beginning, or for a bigger conspiracy!"

"We can't be sure yet. We need more evidence." Zhong Yuxuan calmly analyzed, "Tianshu is acting in secret. We can't alert them."

"But if we do nothing, who knows what they will do next?" I was extremely anxious and wanted to expose Li Luoyao's true face immediately.

Zhong Yuxuan was silent for a moment, and a trace of determination flashed in his deep eyes: "Luo Xue, we can't just sit there and wait for death. I decided to go and meet this 'Tianshu' in person."

"What? You want to go there in person?" I looked at him in surprise. "But it's too dangerous. Tianshu is not an ordinary business organization. They can do anything!"

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Zhong Yuxuan held my hand and said firmly, "I will arrange everything and won't put myself in danger. You trust me, okay?"

I looked into his determined eyes, and my worries slowly subsided. I knew I couldn't stop him, nor could I face this alone.

"Okay, I'll go with you." I took a deep breath and said firmly, "I want to see Li Luoyao's true face with my own eyes. I want her to pay the price for what she did!"

The next day, we started to prepare the plan. Zhong Yuxuan used some connections to find out that "Tianshu" would hold a high-level business reception in the city, inviting many business celebrities to attend, and Li Luoyao would also attend as a representative of "Tianshu".

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We can take this opportunity to sneak into the cocktail party, observe Li Luoyao up close, and collect more clues about "Tianshu".

In order not to arouse suspicion, we specially prepared exquisite dresses and masks, disguised ourselves as ordinary businessmen, and prepared to sneak into this celebrity-filled cocktail party to uncover the truth hidden in the fog...

The dazzling lights, the elegantly dressed people, the clinking of glasses, and the luxurious banquet hall, everyone had a hypocritical smile on their face. Zhong Yuxuan and I wore masks and shuttled among the crowd, trying to make ourselves look like ordinary businessmen who came to discuss business.

"Relax, you're too stiff." Zhong Yuxuan leaned close to me and reminded me in a low voice, "Don't forget our goal tonight."

I took a deep breath and forced myself to relax, but my eyes were always fixed on Li Luoyao who was not far away. She was wearing a red dress, like a charming poppy flower, dealing with various business tycoons with ease, smiling sweetly and being very good at dealing with people. How could she look weak and innocent?

The guests invited to the cocktail party of "Tianshu" were all business celebrities, including representatives of some multinational groups. I noticed that Li Luoyao was particularly enthusiastic about a blond and blue-eyed foreign man. The two of them talked in a low voice from time to time, and their eye contact also carried a hint of intimacy that was not easily detected.

My intuition told me that this foreign man was not simple. I quietly signaled Zhong Yuxuan, then quietly moved closer to them, wanting to hear clearly what they were talking about.

"Dear Li, this cooperation is very pleasant. I believe that our friendship will become more and more mellow like this glass of red wine." The foreign man raised the wine glass in his hand with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Mr. Smith, I am also looking forward to our next cooperation." Li Luoyao raised her glass in response, with a hint of pride in her tone that was difficult to conceal, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."

"That's good. I'm really looking forward to seeing the faces of those old guys when they go bankrupt." Mr. Smith laughed, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes. "By then, the entire Southeast Asian market will be ours."

Southeast Asian market? The old guys went bankrupt? My heart sank. Could it be that Li Luoyao and Mr. Smith were plotting some business conspiracy? And those "old guys" might also include my father?

I didn't dare to listen any further, fearing that I would lose control of my emotions and expose my identity. I gently pulled Zhong Yuxuan's sleeve, signaling him to leave.

Zhong Yuxuan also realized the seriousness of the matter. He nodded to me, and then we turned around and prepared to leave the banquet hall. However, at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind me:

"Sister, you are in such a hurry to leave. Is there something shameful?"

My body suddenly stiffened, and I slowly turned around, only to see Li Luoyao standing behind us with a playful smile on her face, and her eyes were fixed on the mask on my face...

I felt a chill running from my feet to my head, and my cheeks behind the mask started to feel hot. Oh no, I've been discovered!

"Why are you here?" I tried to stay calm, but I couldn't hide a hint of panic in my tone.

"Sister, shouldn't I be the one asking you this question?" Li Luoyao smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, the mockery in her eyes was not concealed at all, "Why, you don't dare to show your true face to others, are you afraid that people will find out that you and your lover came here to do something shameful?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" I was furious and was about to refute, but was pulled back by Zhong Yuxuan.

"Let's go!" His deep voice carried unquestionable majesty.

However, Li Luoyao obviously did not intend to let us go so easily. She waved her hand, and several bodyguards in black immediately surrounded us and blocked our way.

"Want to leave? That's not that easy!" The smile on Li Luoyao's face disappeared completely, replaced by a sinister look, "Today, none of you can leave here!"

"Then don't blame me for being rude!" Zhong Yuxuan protected me behind him and glanced at the bodyguard in front of him with sharp eyes.

A melee was about to break out. The banquet hall was in chaos, with screams and roars coming one after another. I tightly grasped Zhong Yuxuan's sleeve, my heart beating violently.

In the chaos, Zhong Yuxuan, with his extraordinary skills, led me to rush left and right, but he could not get rid of the bodyguards. At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of us.

"Qin Xue?!" I shouted in surprise.

"Hurry up!" Qin Xue grabbed my hand and stuffed a small sprayer into my hand, "I'll stop them!"

"What are you going to do then?" I asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I have my own way to get out!" Qin Xue blinked at me, then rushed towards the bodyguards resolutely.

I pressed the button of the sprayer without hesitation, and a thick smoke spread instantly, choking people to tears. Taking advantage of the chaos, I followed Zhong Yuxuan closely, shuttled through the crowd, and finally escaped from the banquet hall.

However, we did not stop there. I knew that Li Luoyao would not give up, and we had to find a safe place to hide as soon as possible.

"Get in!" A black car suddenly stopped in front of us, the window slowly lowered, revealing a familiar face.

"You are……"

"I'm a private detective. Mr. Zhong asked me to pick you up." The man said concisely, "Hurry up and get in the car. It's not safe here."

I opened the car door without hesitation and got in with Zhong Yuxuan. The car sped away and disappeared into the night.

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down. Although the chase was over for now, I knew in my heart that this was just the calm before the storm. Li Luoyao, how many secrets are you hiding? I will definitely find out and bring you to justice!

The black car sped through the night, and my heart was fluctuating with the street scene that kept receding outside the car window. I escaped from the banquet hall and Li Luoyao's trap, but I didn't feel relaxed at all. Instead, I felt more uneasy.

"Are you okay?" Zhong Yuxuan held my hand, and the warmth of his palm gave me a sense of strength.

I forced a smile: "I'm fine, it's just..."

"You just can't accept it, right?" He said it for me. "You can't accept being manipulated by her like this, and you can't accept letting her get away with it."

I nodded, my eyes starting to get hot again. For so long, I have been like a puppet, played around by Li Luoyao. My true identity, my family, my past, are like a fog that makes me lose my direction.

"I will help you find out everything." Zhong Yuxuan's voice was firm and powerful, like a promise, and also like an oath, "I will make her pay for what she did!"

I raised my head and looked at his profile, and a warm current surged in my heart. Even if the whole world betrayed me, he would stand by me and be my strongest support.

The car stopped in front of a villa, which was Zhong Yuxuan's private residence and our temporary safe haven. Walking into the living room, I slumped on the sofa, feeling exhausted.

Zhong Yuxuan poured me a cup of warm water and handed it to me: "Drink some water first. If there is anything, we can talk about it after you have rested well."

I took the water cup and drank it in small sips, but my thoughts returned to the chaotic banquet hall. Li Luoyao's words were like poisonous thorns, deeply piercing my heart. Who am I? Who are my parents? Where are they now?

"We can't just sit there and wait for death." I put down the cup, my eyes became firm, "We must take the initiative and expose Li Luoyao's true face!"

Zhong Yuxuan nodded: "You are right, we can't let her get away with it any longer."

"I have some photos and recordings that can prove that Li Luoyao has been deceiving everyone all these years." I took a deep breath, "We can hand these evidences over to the police and let her face legal sanctions!"

Zhong Yuxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do it! I will contact the best legal team to seek justice for you!"

I held his hand tightly, my heart full of hope. I knew it would be a tough battle, and Li Luoyao would not surrender easily. But this time, I would not back down, I would get back everything I had lost for myself and my family!

At this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang. It was Qin Xue calling.

"Hey, Qin Xue, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, how about you? Are you safe?"

"We're in a safe place now," I replied. "By the way, thank you for your help tonight. If it weren't for you, we might have..."

"We are friends, why are you talking about this?" Qin Xue smiled. "By the way, I have some information about Li Luoyao here that may be useful to you."

"Really? That's great!" I said excitedly, "When is it convenient for you to meet and discuss in detail?"

"I'll organize the information tomorrow and contact you then."

After hanging up the phone, I looked at Zhong Yuxuan, my eyes full of hope. Li Luoyao, your doomsday is coming!
