The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 94 Dilemma

The doctor came soon and treated Zhong Yuxuan's injuries. He needed to rest, so I stayed by his side. Qin Xue would occasionally come to see us and bring some news from the outside world. But her face became more and more solemn day by day. I knew that things were far more complicated than we thought.

That day, Qin Xue brought bad news that something happened in Zhong Shuhao's company.

"How could this happen?" I exclaimed in shock, my heart in my throat.

Qin Xue rubbed her brows and said in a heavy tone: "Someone maliciously shorted the company's stock. Now the stock price has hit the limit down. Many cooperation projects have been forced to stop, and there are also problems with the capital chain..."

Zhong Shuhao's company is a family business. He has put in countless efforts to get to where he is today. But now it has suffered such a change. I can't imagine what kind of pressure he is under at this moment.

"Yuxuan, we have to help Shuhao. We can't let him carry it all alone." I turned to look at Zhong Yuxuan. His face looked very ugly. It was obvious that he already knew about this.

"I have asked the legal team to intervene. We will find out the truth and find the mastermind behind this." Zhong Yuxuan's voice was low and chilling.

“I hope I can make it in time…” I murmured, feeling a strong sense of unease rising in my heart.

In the following days, we closely followed the development of the situation, but the situation was getting worse and worse. Zhong Shuhao's company seemed to be caught in an invisible giant net, being dragged into the abyss step by step. And we could only watch helplessly.

That night, Qin Xue came in a hurry, looking flustered, and said in a hurried tone: "When I went to investigate today, I found someone following me. I suspect it was..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door...

Before Qin Xue finished her words, a rapid knock on the door exploded in the room like thunder. The three of us looked at each other, and an ominous premonition quickly spread in our hearts.

"Who is it?" I asked in a low voice, my heart beating wildly.

There was silence outside the door, only the rapid knocks on the door seemed like a death warrant, striking at our nerves.

"Don't open the door!" Zhong Yuxuan shouted in a low voice. His eyes swept across the room sharply and finally landed on the window. "Qin Xue, go through the window!"

Qin Xue was obviously also shocked by this sudden change, but she reacted quickly, turned over and jumped out of the window, disappearing into the night. Zhong Yuxuan and I followed closely behind and left through the window of another room.

We ran all the way and didn't stop until we were sure it was safe, gasping for breath.

"Who is it? How did they find this place?" I asked in shock, with countless terrible thoughts flashing through my mind.

"It seems that our every move is under their surveillance." Zhong Yuxuan's face was terribly gloomy, and there was a chill in his tone, "They are more powerful than we thought."

Qin Xue patted her chest in shock, with a hint of fear in her tone: "When I went to investigate today, I felt that someone was following me, but every time I turned around, I couldn't see anyone. I thought I was just being too suspicious, but I didn't expect..."

"It seems we have to be more careful." I said in a deep voice, the feeling of uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger. "Since they can find this place, it means that there may be a traitor among us."

Zhong Yuxuan nodded and looked into the distance with deep eyes, wondering what he was thinking about.

In order to avoid being followed again, we decided to act separately for the time being. Zhong Yuxuan and I met in a hidden cafe to discuss the next plan.

"I found some clues. The mastermind behind this is probably a mysterious organization called 'Shadow'." Zhong Yuxuan said in a low voice while flipping through the information on his phone. "This organization is huge and secretive. Few people know their true identity."

I was horrified and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head. What kind of terrible vortex have we been drawn into?

Just as we were about to discuss further, Zhong Yuxuan's phone suddenly rang. He answered the call and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

"What did you say?!" Zhong Yuxuan stood up suddenly, his tone full of disbelief and anger, "How could this happen?!"

I had never seen him so out of control, and I suddenly had a strong sense of foreboding.

"What's wrong?" I asked anxiously. "What happened?"

Zhong Yuxuan took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and said with gritted teeth: "We fell into a trap! 'Shadow' had long expected that we would investigate them, and deliberately set a trap and eavesdropped on our conversation..."

His words exploded in my mind like a bolt from the blue. Our every move was under the control of the other party, but we were completely unaware and were fooled around like fools!

"What should we do now?" I felt unprecedented fear and helplessness. "All our plans have been leaked. Will they..."

Before I finished speaking, I saw a news push pop up on Zhong Yuxuan's phone. The title read: Surprise! Well-known entrepreneur Zhong Yuxuan secretly met with a mysterious woman late at night, suspected of cheating on his wife!

The accompanying pictures are a few photos of Zhong Yuxuan and I talking in a cafe. Although the angles are tricky, our identities can still be clearly identified.

My head exploded with a buzzing sound and a chill ran down my body from head to toe.

The revenge of "Shadow" has begun...

I felt my blood freeze, and my phone slipped from my palm and fell powerlessly onto the table. The news spread like a virus, and the comment section was filled with insults and doubts, pushing Zhong Yuxuan and I to the forefront of public opinion.

“How could this happen… How could this happen…” I muttered to myself, my mind going blank.

Zhong Yuxuan's face was livid. He held the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. He took a deep breath, trying to control the anger in his heart, and said in a low and firm tone: "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

However, things turned out to be far worse than we imagined.

The next day, the headlines of all major media outlets were dominated by the "scandal" between me and Zhong Yuxuan. Negative reports flooded in like a tide, drowning us. My phone was bombarded with calls, questions, insults, and even threats, which overwhelmed me.

The stock price of Zhong Group also suffered a huge impact and plummeted. Zhong Yuxuan faced unprecedented pressure, but he still held on, handling company affairs while trying to calm the storm.

However, "Shadow" has no intention of stopping there.

A few days later, Zhong Yuxuan was suddenly attacked by a group of men in black while attending a charity dinner. In the chaos, I watched him being stabbed by a sharp knife in order to protect me, and his white shirt was stained red with blood...

My world collapsed at that moment.

I rushed over like crazy, but was pushed away by the surging crowd. When I finally squeezed to his side, he was unconscious and his face was terribly pale.

"Yuxuan! Yuxuan!" I held his hand tightly, tears blurring my vision, "Wake up! Don't scare me..."

The ambulance sirens tore through the night sky. I followed the stretcher closely, running wildly all the way, my heart feeling like it was falling into a bottomless abyss.

The hospital corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and my heart seemed to be soaked in formaldehyde, cold and desperate.

The lights in the operating room were on all the time, as if they would never go out. I sat on the cold bench, clasped my hands together, and prayed non-stop, hoping that he would be safe.

However, fate always seems to like playing jokes on me...

The smell of disinfectant and the pale lights of the hospital made me feel extremely depressed. I stood outside the intensive care unit, clasped my hands together, and prayed over and over again. Zhong Yuxuan had been in a coma for three days. The doctor said that he had lost too much blood and suffered a severe head injury. His condition was not optimistic.

"Luo Xue, you haven't slept for three days and three nights. Go and have a rest. I'm here." Qin Xue looked at me worriedly, her eyes red. Since Zhong Yuxuan's accident, she has been by my side, giving me encouragement and support.

"I'm fine. I just want to stay here and stay with him. I won't go anywhere." I shook my head, my eyes not leaving the door of the ICU. My heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and every minute and every second was torture.

"But..." Qin Xue wanted to persuade me again, but was interrupted by a burst of hurried footsteps.

Zhong Shuhao came over with a serious expression. When he saw my haggard appearance, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, "Luo Xue, how are you?"

"Uncle Zhong, Yuxuan..." My voice was choked and I couldn't speak complete sentences.

Zhong Shuhao patted my shoulder gently and said in a heavy tone, "The doctor said it's still in the critical period. We must be mentally prepared."

My eyes went dark and I almost lost my balance. Zhong Shuhao's words were like a bolt from the blue, shattering my last glimmer of hope.

"How could this happen... How could this happen..." I murmured to myself, tears streaming down my face uncontrollably.

"Now is not the time to blame ourselves, we must cheer up." Zhong Shuhao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "The Shadows came prepared this time. Their target is not only Yuxuan, but also you and the entire Zhong Group. We can't let them succeed!"

His words suddenly woke me up. Yes, I can't fall down like this. I still have a lot of things to do. I have to protect Yuxuan and protect the Zhong Group!

However, the offensive of the "shadow" was far more fierce than we imagined. The stock of Zhong's Group continued to fall, the people in the company were in a panic, all kinds of negative news were flying around, and the entire Zhong's Group seemed to be caught in a huge storm and was on the verge of collapse.

In addition to facing the media's pursuit and blockade, I also have to bear the pressure and questioning from all sides, which makes me physically and mentally exhausted.

Just when I was about to despair, a mysterious man appeared...

The mysterious man asked me to meet him in a hidden cafe. The dim lights and low music made me feel even more uneasy. I looked around vigilantly, but I couldn't see the other person's true face.

"Ms. Li, how are you?" A deep male voice sounded in my ear. I turned my head suddenly and saw a man wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses sitting opposite me, with an ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth.

I suppressed my anxiety and asked, "Who are you? Why are you helping me?"

The man chuckled. "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that we have a common enemy." He pushed a file bag in front of me. "This contains what you want to know and what you need to know."

I hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the file bag. The contents inside surprised me.

"Are these all true?" I looked at him in disbelief. In the file bag was detailed information about "Shadow", including their organizational structure, member information, and even their next action plan.

"It's absolutely true." The man said firmly, "I know you doubt my motives, but please believe me, I have no ill intentions, I just want to help you."

"Why?" I looked at him straight in the eye, trying to see through his true thoughts.

The man was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words. "Because... Shadow was once my enemy. I understand their methods better than anyone else, and I want to destroy them more than anyone else."

His words were full of hatred and anger, and I could feel the pain deep in his heart. Although I was still wary of him, I had to admit that his appearance might really be our only hope.

"What do you want me to do?" I took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety and fear in my heart.

"The target of "Shadow" is you and Zhong Yuxuan. They want to completely destroy you, so what you have to do now is to protect yourself and then wait for the opportunity to give them a fatal blow." The man's tone was calm, but with unquestionable firmness.

"Timing? What timing?" I demanded.

The man smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know soon." After that, he stood up and left the cafe, leaving behind only a meaningful back.

I looked at the direction he left, my heart filled with doubts and uneasiness. Who was this mysterious man? Why did he want to help me? Could I trust his words? All of this was like a huge mystery, leaving me confused and helpless.

But I understand that now is not the time to hesitate. I must cheer up and face it all bravely for Yuxuan and for myself.

Just then, my cell phone suddenly rang. It was Qin Xue calling. Her voice was a little excited and anxious. "Luo Xue, where are you? Someone is looking for you. He said he can help us!"
