The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 109 Big Difficulty

Zhong Shuhao's words were like a stone dropped into the rough sea, stirring up thousands of waves in my heart. Mysterious investor? At this juncture, the timing of his appearance was too coincidental, and I couldn't help but feel suspicious. But I really needed to grab a life-saving straw, even if I knew that this straw might be covered with thorns.

"Yes, of course I have to!" Zhong Yuxuan said firmly, his deep eyes flashing with complex light, "No matter who the other person is, I have to contact him first to know his purpose."

Three days later, we arrived at a high-end private club in the city center as scheduled. The other party asked us to meet on the rooftop terrace, saying that it was to better enjoy the city scenery. But to me, this was more like a condescending attitude, as if everything was under his control.

"Mr. Zhong, Ms. Li, I've heard a lot about you." A deep voice sounded, and a tall man wearing sunglasses walked out from the shadows. He had an ambiguous smile on his face, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

After a brief greeting, the other party came straight to the point and proposed cooperation, but the conditions were so harsh that we could not accept them. He wanted absolute controlling rights and we also wanted to hand over our core technology.

"That's impossible!" I almost blurted out. These conditions are not about cooperation at all, but naked plunder!

The man seemed to have anticipated our reaction. He took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of deep and sharp eyes. “I can give you some time to think about it, but you only have one chance. If you miss it, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

Coming out of the club, my heart sank to the bottom. This man gave me a very dangerous feeling, as if there was a huge whirlpool hidden behind him that could swallow us up at any time.

"I'll go check his background." Zhong Shuhao said solemnly.

A few days later, Zhong Shuhao appeared in front of us with a pale face. His tone was as heavy as a boulder pressing on my chest. "I found out some information... This investor has a close relationship with that mysterious organization."

My breathing stagnated, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head. Could this really be a trap? And have we already stepped into the abyss step by step?

Zhong Shuhao's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in my ears. A mysterious organization, another mysterious organization! Why are they haunting us like a thorn in our flesh? Aren't the lessons we learned before profound enough?

I felt like I had fallen into an ice cellar, and my whole body was freezing cold. Qin Xue held my hand, which was equally cold, but her eyes were extremely firm: "Don't worry, I'll find a way." As she spoke, she dialed a number and discussed the legal terms and coping strategies with the other party in a sharp tone. However, a few minutes later, she hung up the phone, and her face became even uglier.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yuxuan asked anxiously, his thick sword-like eyebrows were tightly locked together, as if they could pinch a fly to death.

"The other party also has a strong legal background, and it's hard for us to find a breakthrough." Qin Xue's voice was full of weakness, which I had never seen before. She was always calm and wise, but at this moment she seemed a little helpless.

The atmosphere in the room was so heavy that it was suffocating. We felt as if we were on the sea before a storm, watching the huge waves roll in with nowhere to escape. My mind was in a mess, and all kinds of terrible thoughts came flooding in like a tide. Were we really going to watch the family business being broken up and sold without us being able to do anything about it?

What worries me even more is what is the ultimate goal of the mysterious organization? Why are they so deliberate in dealing with us? Is it just for commercial interests? My intuition tells me that things are far from that simple.

In the following days, people in the company were in a panic, and all kinds of rumors were flying around. Some employees even began to secretly update their resumes and look for new job opportunities. I watched all this and felt heartbroken. This is not just a company, but the hard work of several generations of our two families!

The feeling of despair was like a vine, tightly wrapped around me, making it almost impossible for me to breathe. I felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff, with a bottomless abyss in front of me and no way to retreat behind me. Should I really give up?

"Give up? Are you kidding me!" Zhong Yuxuan slammed the table, interrupting my thoughts. His sharp eyes swept over each of us, and he said firmly, "We must not sit still and wait for death! If they want to play, I will play with them to the end!"

His words were like a flash of lightning in the dark night, lighting up the hope in our hearts. Yes, how could we give up so easily? We still have family, friends, and so many people who support us!

"But what should we do?" I raised my head and a glimmer of hope lit up in my eyes.

"Aren't they trying to play dirty? Then let's fight them in the open!" Zhong Yuxuan sneered, "Shuhao, contact all the major media outlets. I want to hold a press conference to publicly expose their crimes!"

Zhong Shuhao and Qin Xue were both stunned. They obviously didn't expect Zhong Yuxuan to choose such a radical approach. After all, the evidence we have is not sufficient. If we alert the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Yuxuan, isn't this too risky?" Qin Xue asked worriedly.

"There is no way out now," Zhong Yuxuan said with a firm look in his eyes. "Instead of waiting for them to make a move, why don't we take the initiative? I believe that good will prevail over evil, and the truth will eventually come to light!"

His determination inspired us, and we took action immediately without hesitation. Zhong Shuhao contacted various media outlets, and Qin Xue began to prepare the materials and evidence needed for the press conference. Although I couldn't help much, I tried my best to do the logistics work and provide them with support.

The entire company was mobilized, and everyone united to prepare for the coming storm. We seemed to have become an army, and Zhong Yuxuan was our commander, leading us to charge into battle.

The press conference was scheduled for three days later. During these three days, we raced against time and did not dare to slack off. However, just when we thought everything was ready, an accident happened.

On the day of the press conference, we arrived at the venue early. However, when we were about to debug the equipment, we found that the network signal was interrupted and all computers could not connect to the Internet.

"What's going on?" Zhong Yuxuan's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he realized that something was wrong.

“I’ll go ask!” Zhong Shuhao rushed out immediately. A few minutes later, he ran back with a pale face. “Oh no! We have been hit by a large-scale cyber attack. All systems have been paralyzed!”

"What?!" I suddenly felt dizzy. Could it be that we have failed at the last moment?

Looking at Zhong Yuxuan's livid face, my heart sank. This storm is more violent than we imagined.

"How could this happen..." I muttered to myself, and everything in front of me seemed to go into slow motion. Zhong Yuxuan held me behind him, his angular face was full of gloom, but his eyes were extremely firm.

"Don't worry, Luo Xue, we still have a chance." He whispered to comfort me, but I could feel the heaviness in his tone.

The cyber attack came suddenly and fiercely, and the press conference was declared a failure before it even started. All the major media swarmed in, but they didn't come to report the truth, but pointed the finger at us, questioning our hype, rumors, and even fabricating false charges to throw dirty water. For a time, Zhong Yuxuan and I became the target of public criticism, and the halo we once had became a shackle, trapping us firmly on the pillar of shame.

What's worse is that the family began to waver. Some relatives who originally supported us began to consider compromising with the mysterious organization under tremendous pressure and the temptation of interests. I heard someone say with my own ears: "Yuxuan is too impulsive. We can't beat them. It's better to admit defeat early and keep the family's foundation."

I saw Zhong Yuxuan's hands clenched into fists, veins popping out, but he finally held back and didn't get angry. I know he was in more pain than anyone else, because he had to bear not only his own fate, but also the rise and fall of the entire family.

"We can't give up, Luo Xue, there must be other ways." Late at night, when everything was quiet, Zhong Yuxuan sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the study, looking at the dark night sky outside, his tone carrying a hint of fatigue and unwillingness.

I walked over and gently held his hand, which was icy cold, just like his heart. I couldn't say anything, so I could only accompany him silently and give him strength.

"Let's go find them." Zhong Yuxuan suddenly raised his head, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it's better to take the initiative. I want to confront them face to face and get to the bottom of it!"

I was shocked and realized who he was referring to as "they". That mysterious organization has been hiding in the dark, controlling everything, and we don't even know their true identity.

"It's too dangerous, Yuxuan!" I almost blurted out, "We know nothing about them right now. If we act rashly, we will only be passive."

"I know," Zhong Yuxuan looked at me with a firm look in his eyes, "but we have no way out. Instead of waiting to die, we might as well give it a try. I believe that good will prevail over evil, and the truth will eventually come out."

His words were like a flash of lightning in the dark night, lighting up the road ahead of us. I took a deep breath, held his hand tightly, and said firmly, "I will go with you."

We all know that this is a road full of thorns, and what awaits us will be even more dangerous challenges. But in order to protect everything we cherish and to reveal the truth, we have no hesitation.

The next day, we secretly contacted Zhong Shuhao and asked him to find a way to track the mysterious organization. Although Zhong Shuhao was worried about our safety, he finally agreed to our request.

Three days later, we received news that the leader of the mysterious organization would hold a secret meeting in a hidden private manor. We decided to seize this opportunity, sneak into the manor, and confront them head-on.

As night fell, Zhong Yuxuan and I disguised ourselves and sneaked into the manor under the cover of darkness. We carefully avoided the guards and finally arrived at the gathering place - a luxuriously decorated secret room.

The door of the secret room was closed, and we could hear muffled conversations coming from inside. I clenched my fists nervously, and my heart was pounding.

Zhong Yuxuan gave me a reassuring look, then gently pushed open the door of the secret room...
