The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 97 Challenge Emerges

The figure of the man in black has been lingering in my mind, like an lingering haze, covering my heart. Although Yuxuan said that he was fine, I could see that the vigilance in his eyes had become stronger.

A few days later, one afternoon, Yuxuan and I went to a gallery in the city center to attend a charity auction. It was more like a celebrity gathering, with elegant people drinking and feasting, and a scene of extravagance and decadence.

I followed Yuxuan in boredom, dealing with all kinds of hypocritical greetings and compliments. At this moment, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of my eye, flashing by. My heart suddenly tightened, that figure was the man in black I saw in the hotel corridor that night!

I subconsciously grabbed Yuxuan's arm and said in a low voice: "Yuxuan, look over there, is that the person from that night?"

Yuxuan followed my gaze, frowned slightly, and whispered, "Let's go and take a look."

We walked towards the direction of the man in black quietly, trying not to attract his attention. He didn't seem to notice us, and was standing in a corner, whispering something to a few people. I noticed that the people he was talking to all had a cold aura, just like the man in black that night.

"What are they talking about?" I wondered, trying hard to hear their conversation, but the distance was too far and I could only vaguely hear a few words like "plan", "goal", "action" and so on.

Yuxuan also heard their conversation and his face became serious. He motioned for me not to come closer, then took out his cell phone and sent a message.

After a while, Lin Xiaofeng came hurriedly and said to us with a serious face: "I checked and found that the people who had contact with the man in black were all remnants of a mysterious organization. They have been very close to an international criminal organization recently. I suspect..."

"What do you want to say?" Yuxuan asked in a deep voice, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"I suspect that they might join forces to launch a more violent attack on you!" There was a hint of worry in Lin Xiaofeng's tone.

My heart sank suddenly, and a sense of foreboding came over me. Could it be that we were about to face a new danger?

Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. I felt a chill running from the soles of my feet straight into my heart. Was my peaceful life going to be disrupted again?

Yuxuan's face was terribly gloomy. He held my hand tightly. I felt a warm touch in my palm, which seemed to give me strength. There was a cold light flashing in his deep eyes, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he said nothing. There was a cold breath around him. I knew he was thinking and planning.

Soon, Zhong Shuhao also arrived. After listening to Lin Xiaofeng's report, his usually calm face also showed a solemn look. He made a prompt decision and immediately arranged for people to strengthen the security measures in the company and at home.

"It's not enough to just defend," Zhong Shuhao said seriously, "We must take the initiative and find out what they want to do!"

"Brother, you are right," Yuxuan said in a deep voice, "Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative. I decided to meet them in person."

"No! It's too dangerous!" I almost blurted out. When I thought of the cold eyes of the man in black, my heart was filled with fear.

"Luo Xue, I know you are worried about me," Yu Xuan looked at me with gentle but firm eyes, "but I have to do this. Only by finding out their purpose can I better protect you and the people we love."

I understood what he meant, and I knew I couldn't stop him. I took a deep breath, tried to suppress the fear in my heart, and said, "I'll go with you!"

Yuxuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by my resolute look. He knew my temper, and once I made a decision, I would not change it easily.

"Okay, let's go together!" Yuxuan finally compromised, but he added, "However, you must promise me that you must follow my arrangements and not act on your own."

I nodded to show my agreement.

So we started investigating the remnants of the mysterious organization. Lin Xiaofeng used all his connections and finally found out that they had set up a base in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.

In order not to alert the enemy, Yuxuan and I decided to disguise ourselves and then sneak into the factory to investigate.

As night fell, Yuxuan and I put on night clothes and quietly sneaked into the abandoned factory under the cover of darkness. The factory was pitch black with only a few dim lights, which added a bit of horror to the atmosphere.

We groped forward cautiously, and the air was filled with a rotten and musty smell, which made people feel very depressed. Suddenly, I heard a faint voice coming from the front. Yuxuan and I looked at each other, slowed down our pace, and walked towards the direction of the sound.

Through the dilapidated window, I saw several figures swaying in the dim light, and they seemed to be discussing something fiercely. I tried hard to hear their conversation, but I could only vaguely hear a few key words, such as "technology", "patent", "threat" and so on.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came over me...

Through the dirty glass window, I could only see a few blurry figures, but I could sense the dangerous aura emanating from them. Yuxuan gently pulled me and pointed to an iron door deep inside the factory, motioning us to go over there and listen.

We crouched down and slowly approached the iron door under the cover of night. The iron door was not closed tightly, leaving a gap, and the voices coming from inside were clearly audible.

"As long as we get this technology patent, we can make a comeback and take revenge!" a rough voice said gritting teeth.

"That's right. The Zhong Group has caused us to fall into this situation today. We must not let them have it easy!" another shrill voice echoed.

"But this patent is protected very strictly, and we have no way to start." said a slightly timid voice.

"What are you afraid of? We have found an insider. As long as we work together inside and outside, we will definitely succeed!" The rough voice was full of confidence.

My heart sank suddenly. An insider? Could it be that there are accomplices within the Zhong Group? This is too scary!

Yuxuan obviously thought of this as well. His expression became more solemn and he unconsciously tightened his grip on my hand.

"We need to tell Lin Xiaofeng this news as soon as possible," Yuxuan whispered, "We can't let them succeed!"

I nodded and was about to leave with Yuxuan, but suddenly I heard hurried footsteps coming from inside the iron gate. Oh no, they are coming out!

Yuxuan and I looked at each other, and without thinking too much, we immediately hid behind a pile of debris.

The iron gate opened and several figures walked out. In the faint moonlight, I recognized that one of them was the man in black who attacked me that night!

I covered my mouth tightly, afraid that I would make any sound and expose our whereabouts.

The man in black and his accomplices did not notice us. They hurriedly left the factory and disappeared into the night.

Yuxuan and I walked out from behind the pile of junk and both breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was a close call!" I patted my chest and said with lingering fear.

"Let's go find Lin Xiaofeng now," Yu Xuan said decisively, "We must stop them as soon as possible!"

We rushed back to the city overnight and told Lin Xiaofeng the news we had heard. After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng's face became very solemn.

"It seems that we have underestimated their determination," Lin Xiaofeng said in a deep voice, "They came prepared this time, we must be more cautious!"

With the help of Lin Xiaofeng, we quickly found out the insider of the mysterious organization and successfully prevented their plot to steal the technology patents. However, our whereabouts were also exposed, and a more dangerous pursuit was about to begin...

Ever since I heard those words outside the factory that night, my nerves have been tense, and I always feel that danger is following me. Yuxuan is the same. He almost never leaves my side and stays alert even when he sleeps.

"Don't worry, I have arranged people to protect you." Zhong Shuhao's steady voice came from the other end of the phone, but I knew that things were far from as easy as he said.

Sure enough, one night a few days later, our nightmare began.

That day, Yuxuan and I were surrounded by a group of men in black as soon as we came out of a restaurant. They were all ferocious and armed, and it was obvious that they were not good people.

"Go!" Yuxuan protected me behind him and calmly directed the bodyguards to fight back.

The sound of gunfire and shouting instantly broke the tranquility of the night. I was held tightly in Yuxuan's arms, but I could still feel his tense body and rapid breathing.

"Luo Xue, don't be afraid, I won't let them hurt you!" Yu Xuan growled in my ear, his tone firm and resolute.

The bodyguards fought desperately, but the other side was outnumbered and we gradually lost the upper hand. At this critical moment, several police cars roared in, red and blue police lights cut through the night sky, and a group of police quickly joined the battle.

It turned out that it was Zhong Shuhao who called the police. He has been protecting us secretly.

Finally, with the support of the police, we managed to escape. But this attack also sounded the alarm for us. The remnants of the mysterious organization are stronger than we thought. They have gone completely crazy and will do anything to get revenge.

"We can't passively defend anymore," Zhong Shuhao said solemnly after returning to the villa, "We must take the initiative to attack, find their lair, and completely eradicate them!"

"But we know almost nothing about their situation. How can we take the initiative to attack?" Lin Xiaofeng said worriedly.

"I have arranged for someone to investigate," Zhong Shuhao said calmly, "I believe there will be news soon."

However, the days of waiting for news were tormenting. We were like birds trapped in a cage, not knowing when danger would come again. I lived in fear every day, afraid of losing Yuxuan and afraid of losing the hard-earned peaceful life.

Just when we were almost in despair, an unexpected piece of news came, bringing us new hope...

It was dark outside the window, but the lights were on in the villa. Ever since the attack, there had been a lingering haze over this place. I curled up on the sofa, twisting my fingers nervously, but my eyes involuntarily drifted towards the study. Yuxuan, Shuhao, and Xiaofeng were all in there. They had been discussing for several hours, but still hadn't found a solution to the problem.

"Knock knock knock—"

There was a knock on the door, and my heart skipped a beat. Could it be...

"Madam, have a glass of milk. It's very late." The servant came in with a tray with a concerned smile on her face.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang." I took the milk, but I had no appetite at all.

"Don't worry too much, the master will definitely protect you." Aunt Zhang comforted me.

I forced a smile, but I felt even more uneasy. I knew that Yuxuan had done his best to protect me, but those people were extremely vicious. We were like prey being targeted by a group of venomous snakes, and we didn't know when we would be fatally hit.

Time passed by, and the door of the study finally opened. Yuxuan walked out tiredly, and when he saw me, a hint of tenderness appeared on his tense face.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" He came over and hugged me in his arms.

I hugged him tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Have you thought of a solution?"

Yuxuan was silent for a moment before he whispered, "We found some clues."

My heart suddenly jumped up: "What clue?"

At this time, Shuhao and Xiaofeng also walked out of the study, with a solemn look on their faces.

"We found out that the leader of this organization is very superstitious," Shuhao said. "On the 15th of every month, he would go to a temple on the outskirts of the city to burn incense and pray for peace."

"Superstition?" I was a little surprised.

"Yes, and every time he goes, he only has a few bodyguards with him," Xiaofeng added, "This may be our only chance."

My heartbeat started to speed up. Could it be that...

"We plan to..." Yuxuan paused and looked at me firmly, "intercept him on his way to the temple."

I gasped. This was really too risky!
