The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 88 The situation improves

Qin Xue's voice on the other end of the phone was obviously trembling, and it came to my ears intermittently. Every word was like a huge rock hitting my heart, making me breathless. Explosion? The dock? Could it be... No, it can't be! I shook my head vigorously, trying to get rid of the terrible picture in my mind.

"Xue'er, don't panic. Tell me slowly what happened." I grabbed Qin Xue's cold hand and tried to make my voice sound calm.

Qin Xue took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "My friend said that just now, there was an explosion at the dock. The casualties are unknown..."

My head exploded with a buzzing sound, and my vision went black. I could hardly stand. The dock, the explosion, could it be that something happened to Yuxuan and the others? All kinds of terrible thoughts swirled in my mind, and my heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, almost suffocating.

"Xue'er, don't panic, let's go to the hospital now!" Zhong Shuhao's calm voice was like a ray of light in the darkness. He decisively pulled Qin Xue and me and rushed out of the house.

Along the way, my heart was in my throat, and I kept praying, praying that Zhong Yuxuan and the others were safe. However, fate always seemed to like to play tricks on people.

After arriving at the hospital, we anxiously inquired about the injured's condition, but the answers we received disappointed us again and again. Just when we were about to despair, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the emergency room.

"Yuxuan!" I rushed forward ecstatically and hugged him. Fortunately, he was fine, he was really fine!

Zhong Yuxuan patted my back gently and comforted me softly. He told me that they had found key evidence to prove my parents' innocence, but just as they were about to leave the dock, an explosion suddenly occurred. Fortunately, they were well prepared and escaped with only minor injuries.

Hearing this, I finally felt relieved. I held Zhong Yuxuan's hand tightly, and tears flowed down my face uncontrollably. This nightmare was finally coming to an end!

We took this hard-earned evidence and filed a complaint with the court, officially starting the redress procedure. Although I know that there are still many challenges to overcome in order to truly clear my parents' grievances, I believe that justice will eventually prevail over evil, and light will eventually dispel darkness!

Zhong Shuhao is indeed a veteran in the business world, and he is very decisive in his actions. I don't know what connections he used, but within a few days, my parents' case was given a chance to be retried. The court also appointed new judges and prosecutors, who are said to be upright and fearless.

"Xue'er, don't worry, we will definitely get justice for your parents this time!" Zhong Shuhao patted my shoulder and said in a firm tone.

I looked at him gratefully. Apart from the word "thank you", I didn't know what else to say to express my feelings at the moment. These days, I was like a lone boat floating on the sea, with no one to rely on. It was Zhong Shuhao and Qin Xue who gave me hope and strength.

Qin Xue also took action. She used her influence to launch a topic on social media called "Restore the innocence of Li's parents" and called on everyone to pay attention to this case.

To my surprise, this topic quickly became a hot search topic, attracting widespread attention from all walks of life. Netizens forwarded comments one after another, expressing support for me and my family and demanding that the real culprit be severely punished.

Looking at those messages full of kindness and encouragement, my eyes can't help but moisten. It turns out that there are still many good people in this world, and there are still many people who are willing to believe in justice and speak up for the weak.

"Xue'er, see, I told you, good will prevail over evil, and your parents will definitely be vindicated!" Qin Xue pointed at the screen of her mobile phone excitedly, as happy as a child.

I nodded, my heart filled with hope and gratitude. I knew that in addition to the help of Zhong Shuhao and Qin Xue, there must be a mysterious force behind all this that silently supported us, but I didn't know where this force came from.

That night, I received a strange text message with only one sentence: "The truth will be revealed soon, don't give up!"

I held the phone in my hand, my heart full of doubts and curiosity. Who was helping us secretly? Why were they doing this? Did they know something?

That message was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves in my heart. Who was it? Who was helping us secretly? Why were they doing this? A series of questions lingered in my mind, lingering. I tried to call back the number, but I only heard a cold system prompt: "Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable..."

I was even more confused. Was this just a prank? But if it was a prank, why would they say "the truth will soon be revealed"? I was puzzled and could only bury my doubts in my heart.

In the following days, I rushed between the law firm and the court as usual, closely following the progress of the case. Zhong Yuxuan also stayed by my side, encouraging and supporting me. Although he was usually serious, I knew that he, like me, was looking forward to the day when the truth would come out.

Perhaps God couldn't bear to see this injustice happen. Just when I was about to despair, things took a turn for the better.

That day, I was discussing a case with a lawyer at a law firm when I suddenly received a call from Qin Xue. She was so excited that she almost screamed, "Xue'er! Check the news! Check the news!"

I was confused and quickly opened my phone and clicked on the news app. What caught my eye was a striking headline: "Shocking truth! The unjust case of the Li couple may be reversed! The key witness came forward to tell his story!"

My heart skipped a beat and I clicked on the news. A middle-aged man whom I had never seen before appeared in the video. He looked haggard but had a firm gaze, and was being interviewed by a reporter.

"I am Li Jianguo, Li Luoxue's biological father..."

This sentence was like a thunder, exploding in my ears. I covered my mouth in astonishment, tears streaming down my cheeks.

The man in the video continued, "Back then, I committed an unforgivable mistake out of greed, killing the Li couple and cruelly abandoning my young daughter... For so many years, I have been living in regret and self-blame. Now, I finally muster up the courage to stand up, hoping to atone for my crime and to get my daughter's forgiveness..."

Every word he said was like a heavy hammer hitting my heart. I never thought that I would have the chance to meet my biological father again, let alone that he would appear in this way.

As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar. My phone was bombarded with calls, and reporters swarmed in, all wanting to get more information from me. But I couldn't say anything, I just sat on the sofa in a daze, my mind was blank.

Zhong Yuxuan held my hand tightly. His palm was warm and strong, which gave me infinite comfort and strength.

"Xue'er, don't be afraid, everything will be fine." I stared at the news report blankly, with a lot of thoughts in my mind. My father, the man who abandoned me and killed my adoptive parents, unexpectedly reappeared in my life in this way. My emotions were so complicated that I couldn't describe them. There was shock, anger, and a little bit of expectation that I didn't even dare to admit.

Zhong Yuxuan was always by my side. He didn't say anything, but just held my hand tightly to give me strength. Qin Xue also rushed over. She hugged me excitedly and said incoherently: "Xue'er, I knew, I knew Uncle Li is not that kind of person! I knew the truth would come out!"

I held back my tears and tried to calm myself down. The appearance of my father was undoubtedly a key turning point in the case. The lawyer also said that with his testimony, plus the clues provided by the anonymous person, our chances of winning the case were greatly increased.

In the next few days, Zhong Yuxuan, my lawyer team and I worked non-stop. We went to the prison to visit my father. His hair was all white, and his face was full of traces of time. He was no longer as energetic as he used to be. When he saw me, he burst into tears and kept saying "I'm sorry". I suppressed my inner turmoil and asked the question I wanted to know most: "What happened back then?"

My father sighed deeply and told me about the unbearable past. It turned out that he was framed and owed a huge debt. He was desperate and agreed to the other party's request to steal company secrets and cause the car accident. Afterwards, he realized that he was used by someone to kill my adoptive parents and destroy his own family. He was in great pain, but he was powerless to change the situation. He could only leave his hometown with guilt and regret.

"Xue'er, Daddy is sorry for you, sorry for you and your adoptive parents..." My father burst into tears, but I could no longer suppress the sadness in my heart. I threw myself into his arms and burst into tears.

Things went more smoothly than we expected. Under pressure from all sides, the court accelerated the trial process. A few days later, the court retried the case of the Li couple. My father testified in court as a tainted witness, identified the person who framed him, and provided relevant evidence. The anonymous person who had been hiding in the dark finally came forward to tell his story. He turned out to be my father's driver at the time and witnessed the whole process, but he was afraid of being silenced and had not dared to show up.

Finally, with solid evidence, the truth of the unjust case was finally revealed. The court ruled that the Li couple was not guilty and that the murderer was someone else. The moment I heard the verdict, I could no longer control my emotions and tears welled up in my eyes. Zhong Yuxuan hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear: "Xue'er, you have finally waited for this day."

I looked up and looked into Zhong Yuxuan's deep eyes, my heart filled with gratitude and love. During this time, he has always been by my side, supporting and encouraging me. It was he who gave me hope in the darkest times.

After the case was over, Zhong Yuxuan and I returned to the Zhong family's old house. When Zhong Shuhao saw us, he smiled with relief. He came over, patted my shoulder gently, and said, "Xue'er, you have worked hard during this period. From now on, treat this place as your home and stop thinking about those unhappy things."

I nodded, my eyes moistened again. I knew that I had finally found my home, a home full of warmth and love.

Just when everything seemed to be going in the right direction, an unexpected challenge quietly arrived...

"Xue'er, look who's here?" Qin Xue's excited voice interrupted my thoughts. I turned around and saw a tall man standing at the door. The afterglow of the setting sun outlined his angular face, and his deep eyes flashed with a light that I couldn't understand.

"Who is this..." I looked at Qin Xue in confusion, but she smiled mysteriously and deliberately kept me in suspense, "Guess?"

I looked carefully at the man in front of me. There seemed to be a hint of familiarity between his brows, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him.

The man smiled slightly, extended his hand to me, and said in a gentle tone: "Hello, Miss Li, my name is Lu Ziming, you can call me Brother Ziming."

"Brother Ziming?" I was even more confused. The name was unfamiliar and I was sure I didn't know him.

"Xue'er, don't look at him like this now. Back then, you and Brother Ziming were..." Qin Xue wanted to continue speaking, but was stopped by Lu Ziming's eyes.

He turned to look at me, with a hint of apology in his tone: "Ms. Li, I'm sorry for visiting you suddenly. I want to talk to you about something. I wonder if it's convenient for you now?"

I looked at Zhong Yuxuan, and he nodded slightly to me, telling me to be at ease. So I said to Lu Ziming, "Okay, let's go to the study and talk."

In the study, Lu Ziming stated his purpose straight away. It turned out that he was a good friend of my father and one of the people who knew about the conspiracy. He had some key evidence in his hands that could prove that my father was wrongly accused, but he had never dared to show up until recently when he made up his mind to stand up.

"Ms. Li, your father took all the blame alone in order to protect you. He is a great father." Lu Ziming said in a heavy tone.

I felt mixed emotions after hearing what he said. I never expected that there was such a complicated truth behind the incident.

"Brother Ziming, thank you for telling me this." I said sincerely.

Lu Ziming shook his head and said, "These are what I should do. I didn't have the ability to save your father back then. Now, I will do my best to make up for my mistakes back then."

I thought that Lu Ziming's appearance would solve the problem completely, but I didn't expect that this was just the beginning. Not long after Lu Ziming left, Zhong Yuxuan suddenly received a call, and his face instantly became solemn.

"What's wrong?" I noticed that something was wrong with him and asked with concern.

Zhong Yuxuan took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone: “Xue’er, we may be in trouble.”

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