The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 86 Chaos

I gradually regained consciousness, and my ears were buzzing. I tried to open my heavy eyelids, but the dazzling white light made me squint uncomfortably. When I was fully awake, I found myself lying on a hospital bed, and the smell of disinfectant filled my nose, making me feel very unfamiliar.

"Luo Xue, you're awake!" Zhong Yuxuan's familiar voice sounded in my ears. I turned around and saw him sitting beside the bed, looking at me worriedly.

I struggled to sit up, but felt dizzy. Zhong Yuxuan quickly supported me and put a pillow behind me so that I could lean on it more comfortably.

"What happened? Those reporters..." My memory is still stuck at the time before I fell into a coma. The reporters' aggressive questions and the strange man who claimed to be my father made me feel scared and uneasy.

"Don't worry, those reporters have been driven away." Zhong Yuxuan held my hand. His hand was warm and strong, giving me a sense of security. "After you fainted, I asked the security guard to call the police. The police have intervened in the investigation and will protect us from harassment."

"But... is what he said true?" My voice trembled. My mind kept replaying the man's words and the complex emotions in his eyes. It all happened too suddenly and too unbelievable.

"Luo Xue, I know you are confused now, but you have to believe me, I will get to the bottom of this matter." Zhong Yuxuan's tone was firm, his eyes full of love and commitment.

"Yeah." I nodded gently. At this moment, I had no choice but to believe him.

"The doctor said you need to rest. I'll go and complete the discharge procedures for you and come back later." Zhong Yuxuan tucked the quilt for me and stood up to leave.

"Yuxuan..." I called him, hesitated for a moment, and asked the question in my heart, "Do you... believe what he said?"

Zhong Yuxuan turned around and looked at me steadily. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through my heart. "I believe you."

His answer was simple and firm, but it gave me great strength. I know that no matter what the future holds, I will face it bravely, because I know that I am not alone and he is by my side.

I watched Zhong Yuxuan leave, the door of the ward closed again, and the room returned to silence. I closed my eyes and tried to digest everything that happened that day, my heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. Who was that man? Why did he show up at this time? What secrets did my life story hide?

The ward was so quiet that only the regular ticking of the instruments could be heard, but I felt my heart surging like a stormy sea. That man claimed to be my father and said that I was not the biological daughter of the Li family... How could this be possible? From childhood to adulthood, although my parents were strict with me, they also poured all their love into me. How could I not be their biological daughter?

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and Zhong Yuxuan walked in, followed by a middle-aged man in a suit. I recognized him at a glance. It was Zhong Yuxuan's father, Zhong Shuhao, the chairman of Zhong Group. Why is he here? I felt even more uneasy.

Zhong Shuhao's face looked a little solemn. He walked to my bedside, with a hint of concern in his tone: "Luo Xue, how do you feel? Are you okay?"

I was a little flattered and quickly shook my head: "I'm fine, Uncle Zhong."

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." Zhong Shuhao sighed, turned to look at Zhong Yuxuan, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness, "Yuxuan, please go out first, I have something to say to Luo Xue alone."

Zhong Yuxuan was obviously a little worried, but he still nodded. Before leaving, he looked at me deeply, his eyes full of worry and encouragement.

Zhong Shuhao and I were the only ones left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing. I twisted my fingers nervously, not knowing what he was going to say to me.

"Luo Xue, I've heard about what happened today." Zhong Shuhao's voice was low and hoarse. "I know you must have a lot of questions in your mind now, but please believe me, no matter what, I will protect you."

His tone was sincere and firm, which calmed my originally panicked heart a little.

"Uncle Zhong, I..."

"Don't rush to speak, listen to me." Zhong Shuhao raised his hand to interrupt me, "This matter is of great importance, I need time to investigate it thoroughly. Before that, I hope you can stay calm, don't act rashly, and don't trust anyone, including... the Li family."

His last words were like a bomb exploding in my ears, and I froze in my tracks. What did he mean? Could it be that there was something wrong with my background? Could it be that the Li family was really hiding something from me?

My mind was in a mess, with countless questions churning in my heart, but I didn't know where to start.

Zhong Shuhao patted my hands, his eyes filled with mixed emotions, "Luo Xue, I know this is very sudden for you, but I promise you, I will find out everything and give you an explanation."

After saying that, he stood up and left the ward, leaving me alone, in deep confusion and panic. My world seemed to collapse in an instant...

After Uncle Zhong left, I couldn't calm down for a long time. Would the Li family really deceive me? My mind kept flashing back to every little bit of my time with my parents. Were those warm scenes all fake?

Just when I was in confusion and pain, the door of the ward was gently pushed open again. A thin man with a weathered face walked in. When he saw me, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Hello...Hello, I am..." He seemed a little nervous and hesitated to speak.

I looked at his unfamiliar face, but I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in my heart. Could it be... that he was the man who claimed to be my father before?

As if he saw my doubts, the man took a deep breath and said slowly: "Luo Xue, I know it's hard for you to accept it, but I really am your biological father. Back then, your mother and I were framed. They created an accident and let us..."

His voice was choked with sobs and tears welled up in his eyes. I had never seen a man so sad, his pain was so real and so deep that I couldn't help but want to believe him.

He continued, "Over the years, I have been looking for an opportunity to redress our wrongdoings and seek justice for you and your daughter. I found some clues from that year, and I also found you..."

He took out a necklace from his pocket. It was a silver necklace with a pendant of a butterfly spreading its wings, exactly the same as mine.

"This is what your mother left for you. She said she would give it to you when you grow up." The man said, handing the necklace to me.

I took the necklace with shaking hands, and couldn't hold back my tears. I always thought this necklace was a birthday gift from my parents, but I didn't expect that it actually hid such an unknown past.

"Who is it? Who killed my parents?" I clenched the necklace tightly, my nails digging deep into the flesh, but I didn't feel any pain.

The man was silent for a moment, his eyes became fierce: "It was the Li family, it was the people of the Li family who killed your parents and took away everything that originally belonged to you!"

His words, like a thunderbolt, exploded in my mind. The Li family, are they really them? But why did they do this? I was filled with anger and confusion, and even a hint of unspeakable fear.

"Don't worry, I will find out the truth and avenge your parents!" the man said firmly, his tone full of power.

As I looked at this weathered man in front of me, an unprecedented courage and determination surged in my heart.

"I also want justice for you and my parents!"

I clutched the necklace tightly, feeling mixed emotions. How could the Li family, the place that had given me warmth and love since I was a child, be the murderer of my parents? I couldn't believe it, but I had to face this cruel truth.

"Luo Xue, are you okay?" Zhong Yuxuan's worried voice pulled me back from my thoughts. He had been standing at the door of the ward and witnessed everything that happened between me and the mysterious man. At this moment, his deep eyes were filled with heartache and worry.

I shook my head and held the necklace tightly in my hand, as if it was the only bond between me and my parents. I looked at the man who claimed to be my father, my heart full of questions, "Can you tell me what happened back then?"

Before he could open his mouth, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and Li Luoyao rushed in with a pale face and flames of anger in her eyes.

"Shut up! You are not allowed to say anything more!" She screamed hysterically, "Li Luoxue, you are not the daughter of the Li family at all, you have no right to be here!"

I looked at her in shock, not understanding why she was so excited. Li Luoyao didn't look like she was acting at the moment, but was really in some kind of great fear and despair.

"Luo Yao, calm down!" Zhong Yuxuan took a step forward and tried to comfort her, but she pushed him away.

"Don't touch me!" Li Luoyao's eyes were red. She pointed at me and the man and said in a trembling voice, "You...you teamed up to deceive me! You want to take away everything from me!"

She became more and more agitated, and suddenly, she pulled a knife out of her bag and pointed it at me.

"Luo Xue!" Zhong Yuxuan exclaimed and suddenly protected me behind him.

“Don’t come over here!” Li Luoyao lost control of her emotions and waved the knife in her hand, “I won’t let you succeed! I’m going to kill you!”

The ward was in chaos, and Uncle Zhong and the hospital security rushed over after hearing the news. The situation was out of control for a while. At this time, several men in black suddenly appeared and surrounded Li Luoyao.

"Miss, the master has ordered you to go back!" one of the men in black said respectfully.

Li Luoyao was stunned for a moment, and the knife in her hand fell to the ground weakly. She looked around desperately, and was finally taken away by the man in black, leaving only a lonely back.

After the chaos subsided, I hid in Zhong Yuxuan's arms, still in shock. He held me tightly, and his warm body temperature gradually made me feel at ease.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." His voice was low and reassuring, like a barrier that kept out all fear and anxiety.

However, I know that this is just the calm before the storm. Li Luoyao's madness, the appearance of the mysterious man, and the truth that has been hidden for many years, all of these indicate that a bigger storm is coming...
