The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 102 Reflection

The biting cold spread from the cold floor all the way to my heart. Zhong Yuxuan... he hasn't come back yet... these words echoed in my ears like a curse, dragging me into an endless abyss.

I grabbed my hair hard, trying to keep myself awake, but the image of Zhong Shuhao being shot and falling to the ground and Zhong Yuxuan's determined eyes kept flashing in my mind. Did my persistence and impulsiveness push everyone to the brink of danger?

The night was terribly quiet. I curled up in the corner of the room, letting my tears blur my vision. Outside the window, the stars were dim, as if they were mourning for the failed operation. I bit my lips tightly to prevent myself from crying out loud, but the suppressed sobs still revealed the grief and fear in my heart.

"Knock knock knock..."

A gentle knock on the door woke me up from my daze. I hurriedly wiped the tears from my face and took a deep breath to make myself look calmer. "Come in."

The door opened, and Qin Xue's worried face appeared in front of me. She walked straight to my side and patted my shoulder gently: "Luo Xue, don't blame yourself too much, this is not your fault."

I shook my head, tears streaming down my face again. "If...if I could be braver, if I could stop him..." My voice choked and I couldn't speak anymore.

Qin Xue hugged me in her arms and patted my back gently like she was coaxing a child. "This is not your fault. No one wants to see this result. Zhong Yuxuan...he is a lucky man. He will be fine."

I know she is trying to comfort me, but the fear in my heart is still there. Zhong Yuxuan, where are you? You must be safe!

Meanwhile, Zhong Yuxuan was sweating profusely on the training ground alone. He hit the sandbag over and over again, as if to vent all his anger and pain. Beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, but he had no intention of stopping.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The dull sound of beating echoed in the empty training ground, striking everyone's heart. Zhong Yuxuan's eyes were firm and cold, like a wounded beast struggling with its last bit of strength.

He knew that he couldn't fall down. He still had a lot of things to do. He had to bring Li Luoxue back safely. However, the panic and self-blame in his heart were like a poisonous snake, tightly wrapping around him, making him almost unable to breathe...

Qin Xue's hands were warm, but I felt extremely cold. I turned my head, tears flashing in my eyes, and choked up and said, "If it weren't for me, Zhong Shuhao wouldn't have been injured, and we wouldn't have failed again and again."

"Luo Xue, listen to me..." Qin Xue tried to interrupt me, but I couldn't stop blaming myself.

"If I hadn't insisted on investigating the truth, if I hadn't insisted on working with him, he wouldn't have been dragged into this dangerous struggle!" My voice became louder and louder, and tears welled up in my eyes. "It was me who harmed him, it was me!"

I sat on the ground helplessly, covering my face with my hands, letting the tears flow freely. I hated my weakness, my powerlessness, and even more, I hated myself for pushing the person I loved into the abyss.

Qin Xue sat quietly beside me, without saying anything, just patting my back gently, as if silently comforting me. The room was silent, with only my suppressed crying echoing in the air.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally calmed down. I looked up at Qin Xue's worried face and asked in a hoarse voice, "He...he will be fine, right?"

Qin Xue took a deep breath, looked at me firmly, and said, "Yes, he will be fine. He promised you that he would come back safely."

Qin Xue's warm hands gently patted my back, like a beacon guiding the direction in the darkness. "Luo Xue, failure is the mother of success. We can learn from failure and become stronger." Her words were full of power, like a warm current injected into my cold heart.

Yes, I can't just fall down like this. Zhong Shuhao was injured because of me, I can't let him down, and I can't let those who hurt us go unpunished. I wiped my tears, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the waves in my heart.

"You're right. I can't be defeated by the difficulties in front of me." I looked at Qin Xue, my eyes gradually became firm. "We must find evidence, expose the truth, and seek justice for Zhong Shuhao!"

Qin Xue nodded appreciatively, held my hand and said, "Let's work hard together!"

At the same time, in another room, Zhong Yuxuan also fell into deep self-blame and confusion. Continuous failures made him begin to doubt his ability and his choices. He irritably swept the documents on the table to the ground, slumped in the chair, and the image of Li Luoxue with tears kept flashing in his mind.

"Am I really wrong?" he murmured to himself in a low voice, his voice full of fatigue and pain.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Zhong Shuhao appeared at the door. He looked at his exhausted son, and his heart was full of distress. He knew how much pressure Zhong Yuxuan was under, and he also knew the struggle and pain in his heart at the moment.

"Yuxuan..." Zhong Shuhao walked up to him and patted his shoulder gently. Qin Xue was right. I can't just give up like this. Zhong Shuhao was injured for me. I can't let him down, and I can't let those who hurt us go unpunished. I took a deep breath, tried to calm the waves in my heart, and wiped away my tears.

"You're right. I can't be defeated by the difficulties in front of me." I looked at Qin Xue, my eyes gradually became firm, "We must find evidence, expose the truth, and seek justice for Zhong Shuhao!"

I know this road will be difficult, but for Zhong Shuhao and for myself, I will persevere.

At the same time, in another room, Zhong Yuxuan also fell into deep self-blame and confusion. Continuous failures made him begin to doubt his ability and his choices. He irritably swept the documents on the table to the ground, slumped in the chair, and my tearful face kept flashing in his mind.

"Yuxuan..." Zhong Shuhao walked up to him and patted his shoulder gently.

Zhong Yuxuan raised his head and saw his father's kind yet worried eyes, which made him feel even more uncomfortable. He knew that he had disappointed his father.

"Father……"

Zhong Shuhao encouraged: "Yuxuan, you are my proudest son. Don't be defeated by the difficulties in front of you. Let's find a way to solve it together."

Zhong Yuxuan's eyes were slightly moist, and his father's words were like a warm current flowing into his cold heart. He took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in his heart.

"Father, I won't let you down. I will definitely find a way to defeat the enemy." There was a flash of determination in his eyes and his tone was full of strength.

The conversation between the father and son gave each other strength and confidence, and also laid the groundwork for the challenges ahead. Can they find a breakthrough and turn the tide?

After Qin Xue left, I stayed in the room alone for a long time. Outside the window, the night was dark, with only a few lonely stars twinkling faintly, just like my mood at the moment, confused and helpless.

I thought over and over again about the recent events, Zhong Shuhao's injury, the repeated failures of our plans, the opponent's relentless pressure... These were like huge rocks, weighing down my breath.

"Am I really wrong?" I murmured to myself, tears blurring my eyes again. Just then, the door was gently pushed open and Zhong Yuxuan walked in.

He looked very tired, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and there was a blue stubble on his chin, obviously he hadn't slept all night. Seeing my red and swollen eyes, he flashed a trace of distress in his eyes, walked to my side, and gently hugged me in his arms.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I've made you feel wronged." His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of self-blame and guilt.

I shook my head and buried it in his chest, feeling his warm embrace, with mixed feelings in my heart. I knew that he was under no less pressure than I was, and he was also blaming himself for his recent failure.

"Yuxuan, are we really going to give up?" I raised my head, looked into his eyes, with a slight tremor in my voice.

He was silent for a moment, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, but he finally shook his head firmly. "No, we can't give up, and we can't let Shuhao down."

"But what should we do now? The other side is powerful and we are no match for them." My voice was full of powerlessness.

"Xue'er, believe me, I will find a way." He held my hand tightly, his eyes full of determination and confidence, "We still have time and chance, we can definitely defeat them."

His words were like a ray of light, illuminating the haze in my heart. Yes, we can't give up so easily, we have to cheer up, for Zhong Shuhao and for ourselves.

In the next few days, Zhong Yuxuan and I locked ourselves in the study, carefully analyzing the current situation and looking for a breakthrough. We studied the materials in our hands over and over again, trying to find a clue.

"Xue'er, look here." Zhong Yuxuan pointed to a document on the computer screen and frowned slightly, "There seems to be something wrong with the data of this project."

I took a closer look and found that the data in this document was very different from the data we had previously investigated.

"Could this be our breakthrough?" A glimmer of hope flashed in my eyes.

"It's very likely." Zhong Yuxuan nodded, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "It seems that we need to re-investigate this project."

We looked at each other and saw the same determination and resolve in each other's eyes. I knew that a new battle was about to begin, and we were ready to meet the challenge...
