Chapter 95 Turning Point

Qin Xue's words were like a bolt of lightning, splitting the haze that enveloped my heart. Could there really be a turnaround? I immediately asked for the address and hurried to a hotel near the hospital.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a well-dressed suit sitting by the window, holding a document in his hand and looking at it intently. He heard my footsteps and raised his head. The eyes behind the glasses were sharp and deep, which made me feel a chill in my heart.

"Hello, Miss Li. I'm Lin Xiaofeng." He stood up and extended his hand politely. "You can call me Lawyer Lin."

I was stunned. Lawyer? Didn't Qin Xue say someone could help us? Why is it a lawyer?

As if seeing my confusion, Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, "I was asked by a friend to help you and Mr. Zhong." He paused and turned his gaze to me, "This friend has a common enemy with you."

Could it be that... he was talking about the man I met in the cafe just now? Before I could ask in detail, Lin Xiaofeng had already handed me the document in his hand, "This is some information I collected about 'Shadow', I think you should be interested."

I couldn't wait to open the file, and the contents inside shocked me. The organizational structure, operation mode, and even some unknown secret transactions of "Shadow" were all recorded in detail. More importantly, the file also contained a lot of evidence of their illegal activities, including photos, recordings, and even bank transfer records.

I looked at Lin Xiaofeng in shock, "How did you get these?"

"You don't have to worry about that," Lin Xiaofeng pushed up his glasses. "You just need to know that this evidence is enough to bring 'Shadow' to justice and clear your name and that of Mr. Zhong."

I held the document tightly in my hand, as if I saw a ray of hope. With this evidence, we can fight back!

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Zhong Shuhao walked in. When he saw Lin Xiaofeng, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Lawyer Lin, you are here!"

Lin Xiaofeng nodded, turned to me and said, "I have contacted a very experienced lawyer for you, and he will help you deal with the subsequent legal matters."

I looked at Zhong Shuhao and Lin Xiaofeng with gratitude, my heart filled with warmth and hope. Perhaps, this nightmare is really coming to an end...

Zhong Shuhao's surprise confirmed my guess. Lin Xiaofeng's appearance was no accident. It seemed that the mysterious man we met in the cafe really lent us a hand. I suppressed my excitement and listened carefully to their conversation.

"Lawyer Lin, I've read the information you brought. Thank you so much!" Zhong Shuhao couldn't hide his excitement. "With these evidences, we will definitely be able to bring them down!"

Lin Xiaofeng nodded calmly, "Mr. Zhong, don't be too happy yet. The 'Shadow' is a huge force with deep roots. It is not easy to completely overthrow them. What we need to do now is to make a careful plan to ensure that every step is foolproof."

In the next few days, the three of us stayed in the hospital ward almost all the time, carefully studying the information brought by Lin Xiaofeng and discussing the counterattack plan. Although Zhong Yuxuan was still very weak, he had a clear mind and pointed out several key points in the plan and proposed corresponding solutions.

"The reason why the 'Shadow' has been at large for so long is mainly because they are good at hiding themselves and doing things flawlessly." Zhong Yuxuan said weakly but firmly, "We must find their fatal weakness so that we can hit them with one strike."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded in agreement. "Mr. Zhong is right. According to my investigations over the years, the Shadows are not united. There are conflicts of interest and power struggles among them. We can use this to stir up conflicts between them and make them kill each other."

I listened carefully to their analysis, and a bold idea gradually formed in my mind. "We can reveal the evidence of Shadow's crimes to the media, use the power of public opinion to put pressure on them, and secretly guide the police to intervene in the investigation."

Zhong Yuxuan and Lin Xiaofeng looked at each other and saw the admiration in each other's eyes.

"That's a good idea," Lin Xiaofeng said, "I will contact several reputable media outlets and make the evidence of Shadow's crimes public."

"I will arrange for someone to protect you and your media friends." Zhong Yuxuan added, "'Shadow' is extremely vicious, we have to be on guard."

Looking at the two of them, my heart is filled with gratitude and admiration. Although they are in adversity, they still remain calm and rational, plan their strategies and win the battle thousands of miles away. I believe that under their leadership, we will definitely be able to defeat the darkness and usher in the light.

In order to contribute to this plan, I took the initiative to learn some self-defense skills from Lin Xiaofeng. Qin Xue also joined in, and we practiced fighting and self-defense in the ward every day, hoping to protect ourselves and our friends.

One night, after training, Lin Xiaofeng called me aside and said to me seriously, "Ms. Li, there are some things I think I need to tell you."

My heart tightened. Could something have gone wrong with the plan?

"Actually, I'm not a simple lawyer..." Lin Xiaofeng paused, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

I held my breath, waiting for his next words. A premonition came to my mind. Perhaps the real battle had just begun...

I clenched my fists nervously, my heartbeat quickened, and I could almost hear the blood rushing in my ears. Lawyer Lin, no, maybe I should call him Mr. Lin now, the complex emotions in his eyes made me even more uneasy.

"Actually, I'm not just a simple lawyer..." Lin Xiaofeng paused, as if he was organizing his words, with a hint of determination in his eyes, "I'm a reporter who has been secretly investigating a mysterious organization for many years, and 'Shadow' is their code name."

My breath stagnated, and this news exploded in my ears like thunder from the blue sky. It turned out that Lin Xiaofeng's appearance was not accidental, and he approached us for a purpose!

"Then why are you helping us?" I forced myself to calm down and look him in the eyes.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled bitterly, “Because my wife, she is also a victim of ‘Dark Shadow’.”

My heart trembled suddenly, sympathy and anger intertwined. It turned out that we were all pawns in this dark game, pulled together by the thread of fate.

"I will do my best to help you defeat 'Shadow' and seek justice for my wife and all those who have been hurt by them!" Lin Xiaofeng's tone was firm and powerful, and his eyes were full of the flame of revenge.

I took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in my heart, and nodded. I knew that now was not the time to be sad or angry. We must unite to defeat the powerful enemy.

In the following days, we began a more thorough plan. Lin Xiaofeng used the connections and resources he had accumulated over the years to secretly collect more evidence about Shadow's crimes, while Zhong Yuxuan and I strengthened our own security precautions.

I started to learn some simple codes and secret phrases so that I could communicate with Lin Xiaofeng and Zhong Yuxuan secretly when necessary. At the same time, Zhong Yuxuan also arranged more stringent security measures to protect the safety of Qin Xue and me 24 hours a day.

The hospital ward seemed to have turned into a secret war command room. Each of us was on edge, taking every step carefully, fearing that we would lose everything if we were not careful.

I know that a storm is coming, and we are ready to meet the challenge. This battle is not only about our destiny, but also about the contest between justice and evil.

And I will never back down!

The atmosphere in the ward was no longer as depressing as before, and the sunlight coming in from the window seemed to carry a hint of hope. Zhong Yuxuan looked much better, and although he could only lie weakly on the bed, his eyes had regained their former sharpness.

"How's Shuhao doing?" He put down the tablet in his hand and turned to look at me.

I quickly walked to the bedside and tucked the quilt for him. "Mr. Lin is really amazing. He used his connections and resources. Now the unfavorable news has gradually disappeared, and Zhong's stock price has begun to rise."

The corners of Zhong Yuxuan's mouth curled up into a relieved smile, "Shuhao can finally breathe a sigh of relief. He has suffered so much during this period."

I also feel a lot more relieved. Zhong Shuhao has given so much to us. I really hope he can get rid of the shadow of "Shadow" as soon as possible and live a peaceful life.

"By the way, Mr. Lin said that he would like us to meet at the old place tonight, saying that he has something important to discuss." I suddenly remembered this and said to Zhong Yuxuan.

"It seems that our counterattack is about to begin." A gleam of light flashed in Zhong Yuxuan's eyes. He struggled to get up, but was held down by me.

"You need to rest well now, and leave the rest to us." I comforted him softly.

As night fell, Mr. Lin and I came to the familiar cafe. Zhong Yuxuan's body had not fully recovered and it was not suitable for him to stay outside for a long time, so only Mr. Lin and I went to the appointment this time.

"I have contacted several influential media outlets, and they are all willing to help us expose the crimes of 'Dark Shadow'." Mr. Lin handed me a document and whispered, "This contains the evidence they need. I have already sorted it out."

I took the document and was deeply excited. The document seemed so heavy, as if it carried the hopes of countless victims.

"But we must proceed with caution," Mr. Lin's expression became serious. "The 'Shadow' is a powerful force. Our every move is under their surveillance. If we are not careful, we will alert them."

I took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, "I understand. We will definitely be careful."

Just then, my cell phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" I hesitated and answered the phone.

"Don't act rashly, otherwise..." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, and the call was hung up before he could finish.

My hands trembled, and the phone slipped onto the table. A chill ran up from my feet to my head. Mr. Lin had obviously heard the voice on the phone. He frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "It seems that the 'Shadow' has noticed us."

I suppressed the fear in my heart and tried to sound calm: "What do they want to do? Are they trying to kill people to silence them?"

Mr. Lin shook his head: "Although 'Shadow' is ruthless, he generally won't kill people easily, especially ordinary people like you."

"Ordinary person?" I repeated with a wry smile. In their eyes, I was nothing more than an insignificant chess piece that could be sacrificed at any time.

"So what do you think is the purpose of their calling?" I asked, with a bad feeling in my heart.

Mr. Lin pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I think they want to intimidate us and make us retreat."

"Damn it!" I slammed the table hard, anger burning in my heart, "Are we just going to let them do whatever they want?"

"Of course not," Mr. Lin's eyes flashed, "We will proceed as planned, but we must be more cautious and not let them get hold of any evidence."

His words were full of confidence, as if everything was under his control, which gradually calmed my originally panicked heart.

"I believe in you, Mr. Lin." I took a deep breath and said firmly, "We will succeed."

Mr. Lin nodded, picked up the coffee cup on the table, and took a sip: "Ms. Li, don't worry, I will protect your safety."

Although his tone was flat, I could feel the genuine concern in his words, which made me feel warm.

It was late at night when we left the cafe. The street lights stretched Mr. Lin and I out, and a lingering shadow hung over my heart. The mysterious phone call was like a sharp knife hanging over my head, making me unable to sleep or eat.

I know that Zhong Yuxuan and I have just begun our fight back, and there will be a more difficult journey ahead. But for justice and our own future, I will fight to the end.
