The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 105 A False Alarm

The smell of disinfectant made me feel nauseous, but I didn't care. I held Zhong Shuhao's hand tightly, and the cold touch of his fingertips made me feel relieved. His face was frighteningly pale and his breathing was a little rapid. The doctor said that he had two broken ribs and needed to rest and observe. It was all my fault. If he hadn't protected me, he wouldn't have been injured so badly.

"Luo Xue, don't blame yourself. I'm glad you're okay." Zhong Shuhao said with difficulty, a comforting smile on his lips, but it made me feel even worse.

Zhong Yuxuan's face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before the storm, staring out the window without saying a word. I knew he was blaming himself for not protecting us. Ever since the attack at the hospital gate that night, he has been in this tense state, like a leopard ready to pounce, ready to deal with new dangers at any time.

"Brother, who are those people? Why did they attack us?" I broke the silence in the ward and asked anxiously.

Zhong Yuxuan turned his head and cast a deep gaze on my face, which made me feel a little cold. "It's not clear yet. I have asked Lin Xiaofeng to check it out."

"That note..." The note that said "The game has just begun" reappeared in my mind. Fear was wrapped around my heart like a vine. "Will they..."

My voice stopped abruptly, and I dared not continue. I was afraid that those people would come back and hurt the people I cared about.

"Don't be afraid, Luo Xue, I'm here and I won't let them hurt you." As if seeing through my fear, Qin Xue held my hand. Her hands were warm and strong, which gave me great comfort.

Lin Xiaofeng pushed the door open and walked in, with a trace of fatigue on his face. Seeing that we were all there, he forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry to have worried everyone. I've already checked it out. Those people..."

He paused, and his hesitant look made us even more nervous. My heart was in my throat and my breathing became rapid.

"Those people... are just a bunch of thugs. They have nothing to do with the ones we met before."

"What?!" I screamed in surprise, unable to believe my ears.

"How could this happen?" Zhong Yuxuan frowned, obviously not quite believing this explanation.

"I have verified with the police. Those people are indeed repeat offenders. They have been active in this area recently. They just wanted to rob and were not targeting us." Lin Xiaofeng explained with a hint of relief in his tone.

"Is it really a misunderstanding?" I murmured to myself, my heart finally settled down, but at the same time I also felt a little confused. If it was really a misunderstanding, then what about the note?

The ward fell into silence again. Although the attack was just a misunderstanding, it did not completely dispel our doubts. Instead, it made us even more uneasy, because the real threat might still be hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike...

"Misunderstanding? How is that possible?!" Zhong Yuxuan stood up suddenly and asked in disbelief. His tense body seemed like a fully drawn bow that could explode at any time.

Lin Xiaofeng sighed and explained the results of the investigation in detail: "The police retrieved the surveillance video near the hospital and found that the group of people wandered around for a long time that night and attacked other people just to rob property. The method was completely different from those who attacked us before. And..."

He paused, as if organizing his words: "The police found the note in their residence, which did say 'The game has just begun', but..."

"But what?" I asked eagerly, my heart in my throat again.

"That note..." Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath and said slowly, "They stole it from someone else. They don't know what the note means, nor do they know who we are."

The ward fell into deathly silence. The news was too sudden and too unbelievable for us to digest for a while.

I stared at Lin Xiaofeng blankly, my mind was blank. Could those images, those fears, really be just a misunderstanding? The people who attacked us had nothing to do with the previous ones?

"How could this happen..." My voice was as thin as a mosquito, like a wisp of green smoke, floating in the air.

"Luo Xue..." Qin Xue held my hand tightly. I could feel the warmth of her palm and the strength she passed on to me. "No matter what, it's good that everything is fine now."

I raised my head and looked at Qin Xue. There was a hint of worry and relief in her eyes. Yes, it's good that everything is fine now. At least we are all safe.

Zhong Yuxuan remained silent. He walked to the window, his tall figure looking somewhat lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun. I know that he still has many questions and worries in his heart, but he did not speak them out, but just kept them all in his heart silently.

At this moment, Zhong Shuhao on the hospital bed spoke weakly: "Brother, Luo Xue, don't worry, I'm fine, it's just a skin injury, I will be fine after a few days of rest."

His voice was very soft, but it was like a stone thrown into the calm lake of our hearts, causing ripples.

"Shuhao..." My eyes became wet again. If he hadn't protected me, he wouldn't have been hurt. Those people deserve to die!

"Silly girl, don't cry. I'm relieved to see that you're okay." Zhong Shuhao raised his hand with difficulty, wanting to wipe away my tears, but his big movement pulled the wound and he gasped in pain.

"Brother!" I quickly grabbed his hand to stop him from moving, "Stop talking and have a good rest."

Zhong Shuhao smiled, with a look of relief in his eyes: "Luo Xue, I'm fine, don't worry. But those people..."

He paused, and his tone became serious: "Although this is a misunderstanding, we can't take it lightly. Those people must still be in the dark. We must find them as soon as possible to ensure everyone's safety."

"Shuhao is right. We can't let our guard down." Zhong Yuxuan turned around and scanned each of us with a deep gaze. "Lin Xiaofeng, you continue to investigate. You must find out the identities and intentions of those people."

"Yes, Mr. Xuan." Lin Xiaofeng nodded solemnly.

The atmosphere in the ward became solemn again. Although the attack was just a misunderstanding, we all knew that this was just the calm before the storm. The real challenge had just begun...

The air in the ward was so heavy that it seemed frozen. Zhong Shuhao's words were like a warning bell, waking us all up. Yes, even if this was a misunderstanding, there was no guarantee that those hiding in the dark would stop. The danger might have just begun.

I looked at Zhong Shuhao, who was pale on the bed, and felt guilty. If he hadn't protected me, he wouldn't have been injured. I secretly clenched my fists and told myself that I must be strong and not be a burden to them anymore.

"Brother, don't worry, I won't give up." I walked to Zhong Shuhao's bedside and tried to force a smile. "You have to get better soon, too. We still have to find those bad guys together!"

Zhong Shuhao smiled weakly and patted the back of my hand gently: "Okay, let's do it together."

Zhong Yuxuan walked over to me and gently put his arm around my shoulders. His eyes were firm and deep. "Shuhao is right. We can't take it lightly. I will use all my strength to find out who is behind this and will never let them go unpunished!"

In the following days, Zhong Shuhao's condition gradually improved, but he still insisted on staying in the hospital for observation. I went to the hospital to accompany him every day and told him some interesting things, hoping to make him feel more relaxed.

Zhong Yuxuan devoted himself to the investigation. He went out early and came back late almost every day. I knew he was under tremendous pressure, but he never showed it in front of me. He always left his tenderness and peace of mind to me and took on all the hardships by himself.

"How is it going? Any clues?" That night, I looked at the exhausted Zhong Yuxuan and asked with concern.

He shook his head and rubbed his brows. "Not yet. Those people are very cunning and have not left any clues. However, I have asked Lin Xiaofeng to send more people to expand the scope of the investigation. I believe there will be results soon."

"I believe you." I held his hand and gave him strength.

However, the development of the matter was far beyond our expectations. Just when we thought that the investigation had made no progress, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly brought a shocking news: during the investigation, they found some new clues pointing to a mysterious organization...

Lin Xiaofeng's tone was unusually serious. He handed a document to Zhong Yuxuan and me. There was so much information densely recorded on it that I felt dizzy.

"What is this?" I looked up at him in confusion.

"This is the result of our investigation during this period." Lin Xiaofeng pointed to a symbol on the document, "Remember the tattoos on the attackers? We found out that this is the symbol of a mysterious organization. They act in secret and are ruthless. There seems to be a powerful force behind them."

My heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran straight up from the soles of my feet to my heart. It turned out that this was not a simple attack, and the mastermind behind it was more complicated than we thought.

"What is the name of this organization? What is their purpose?" Zhong Yuxuan asked solemnly. He was always calm and composed, but at this moment he couldn't help but reveal some worry.

Lin Xiaofeng shook his head: "We haven't found out more information yet, but what is certain is that they are related to the mystery of Miss Li's life experience."

My hands clenched involuntarily, and my fingertips felt cold. Could it be that there was some shocking secret hidden behind my life experience?

"No matter what, we must be fully prepared." Zhong Yuxuan held me in his arms and said firmly, "I won't let anyone hurt you."

His embrace was warm and strong, as if it could dispel all the fear and anxiety in my heart. I nodded, trying to calm myself down.

However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on us. Just as we were about to conduct an in-depth investigation, a strange phone call came to my cell phone.

"Hello?" I picked up the phone and heard a deep and hoarse male voice.

"Li Luoxue? I advise you not to investigate further, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Before I could react, the other party hung up the phone. I stared at the phone blankly, and a chill hit my heart again.

Who is it? What does he know? Why is he warning me again?

A series of questions swirled in my mind, and I felt unprecedented fear and uneasiness. It was as if an invisible net was quietly attacking me, and I had nowhere to escape.
