Chapter 90 Obstacles

The air in the church seemed to freeze in an instant, and the guests' astonished eyes moved back and forth between me and the dark figure at the door. Li Luoyao, why is she here?

"Sister, long time no see, how are you?" She had a vague smile on her face, and my heart sank with every step she took. The pitiful look that once appeared on her face was gone, replaced by a kind of almost crazy pleasure.

I subconsciously held onto Zhong Yuxuan's hand. His hand was warm and strong, as if it gave me great courage. I took a deep breath, trying to keep myself calm, looking straight into her eyes, and said word by word, "Li Luoyao, what are you doing here?"

She glanced at me with contempt, then turned her gaze to Zhong Yuxuan, with a hint of provocation in her tone: "Mr. Zhong, you are really a forgetful person. Have you forgotten me, your 'lifesaver' so quickly?"

Every word she said was like a sharp thorn, piercing my heart. Countless terrible thoughts flashed through my mind. Was she going to expose my identity in front of everyone? Was she going to tell everyone that I was the fake one who had taken over the magpie's nest?

Zhong Yuxuan's face also darkened. He protected me behind him and said in a cold tone, "Li Luoyao, you'd better find out what day it is today. If you dare to talk nonsense here, I guarantee you will regret it."

"Regret? What do I have to regret?" Li Luoyao suddenly burst into laughter. Her laughter was sharp and piercing, echoing in the empty church, which seemed particularly strange. "I came here today to tell everyone that you have all been deceived by this woman! She is not the eldest daughter of the Li family at all. She is just an orphan of humble status. It was me who brought her out of the orphanage and gave her everything!"

Her voice became louder and louder, until she almost shouted at the top of her lungs. The guests in the church began to whisper, and I felt countless suspicious eyes falling on me, like sharp knives, peeling me off layer by layer and exposing me to everyone's eyes.

My body was shaking slightly, and I could barely stand. Was this my end? After working so hard for so long, was I going to lose everything?

At this moment, a figure blocked my way. It was Zhong Shuhao. He looked at me solemnly, then turned to face the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet! I will give you an explanation for what happened today. Please believe me!"

Zhong Shuhao's voice was like thunder in the sky, and the guests gradually quieted down, with doubtful eyes focused on him. He has always been calm and reliable, and his words seem to have some kind of magic that makes people choose to believe in them involuntarily. I looked at him gratefully, and my heart was a little relieved.

Zhong Shuhao walked up to Li Luoyao, stared at her fiercely, and said word by word: "Li Luoyao, I know you have resentment in your heart, but today is Yuxuan's wedding, I hope you don't make trouble here. If there is anything, we can solve it privately."

Li Luoyao sneered and was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhong Shuhao's eyes. He turned around, faced everyone, and said sincerely: "Everyone, I'm sorry to disturb your interest. What happened today was purely a misunderstanding. My sister was a little emotional for some personal reasons. I hope you don't mind. The wedding will continue, please enjoy this beautiful moment."

After that, he bowed deeply to the guests, and then signaled the staff to continue the wedding process. Although the guests were still a little confused, they could not say anything more because of the Zhong family's face, and returned to their seats.

I watched Zhong Shuhao's swift and decisive handling of the situation, and my heart was filled with gratitude. If he hadn't appeared in time and controlled the situation, I don't know what would have happened today.

After the wedding, Zhong Yuxuan took me to the garden behind the church. He held my hand tightly, his eyes full of worry: "Luo Xue, are you okay? Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

I shook my head and forced a smile: "I'm fine, it's just..."

"Just what?"

I hesitated as the warning from the mysterious man came to my mind. Was Li Luoyao's appearance really just a coincidence? Was there a bigger conspiracy behind her?

"Nothing." I finally didn't say the doubts in my heart, but just shook my head gently, "I'm just a little tired, let's go back."

At this moment, a deep voice came from behind us: "Mr. Zhong, Mrs. Zhong, be careful, things may not be that simple."

I turned around suddenly and saw a man in a black windbreaker standing behind us. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses on his face, so I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I sensed a hint of uneasiness from his cold tone.

"Who are you?" Zhong Yuxuan protected me behind him and asked vigilantly.

The man did not answer his question, but simply said: "There may be other hidden reasons behind Li Luoyao's behavior, you should be careful."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving us with only a mysterious back. Zhong Yuxuan and I looked at each other, filled with confusion and uneasiness. Who is this mysterious man? Why did he remind us? What secrets are hidden behind Li Luoyao?

The mysterious man's words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves in my heart. Zhong Yuxuan also became obviously alert. He protected me behind him and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, as if searching for something.

"Let's leave here first." Zhong Yuxuan said in a low voice, taking my hand and walking quickly towards the car parked outside the church.

We didn't speak during the journey, and the carriage was filled with a depressing atmosphere. The words of the mysterious man and Li Luoyao's crazy eyes kept replaying in my mind, and I was filled with uneasiness.

After returning to the villa, Zhong Yuxuan immediately contacted a private detective and began to investigate Li Luoyao's current situation. I sat on the sofa in the living room, feeling uneasy and always feeling that something was going to happen.

"Don't worry, I will find out." Zhong Yuxuan held my hand and comforted me softly.

Soon, the private detective reported that Li Luoyao had moved into a luxury hotel in the city center after the wedding. Even more shocking was that the detective discovered that Li Luoyao had connections with a mysterious organization that was secretive and powerful and seemed to have been secretly watching our every move.

"A mysterious organization?" I felt a chill down my spine. "Why would they do this?"

Zhong Yuxuan's expression also became solemn. He pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that there is a bigger conspiracy behind Li Luoyao. This organization is likely the mastermind behind the murder of my father."

My heart sank suddenly. If this was true, then the situation for Zhong Yuxuan and I would be even more dangerous. Since this organization was able to control Li Luoyao, it meant that they must have some kind of power that could even threaten our lives.

"What should we do now?" I raised my head and looked at Zhong Yuxuan, my eyes full of worry and helplessness.

Zhong Yuxuan took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Luo Xue, for our own safety and to find out the truth, we must take the initiative to expose the true face of this organization!"

Zhong Yuxuan's words were full of unquestionable determination. I knew that he had made up his mind. I held his hand tightly. Even though my heart was filled with fear, I would face it with him. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative to protect ourselves and the people we care about.

"Yuxuan, I'll go with you." I said firmly, "I can't let you take risks alone."

Zhong Yuxuan looked at me, his eyes full of worry and heartache, but he finally nodded. He knew that he couldn't stop my determination.

We made a bold and risky plan: pretend to get close to Li Luoyao and try to get information about the mysterious organization from her. To ensure the smooth progress of the plan, we also contacted Zhong Shuhao to help cover us.

"Are you sure you want to do this? It's too dangerous!" Zhong Shuhao was worried after learning about our plan. "That Li Luoyao has gone crazy. If you get close to her, you're like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth!"

"We have no other choice, Shuhao." I looked at Zhong Shuhao with determination in my eyes. "Only by finding out the truth can we solve the problem completely."

Zhong Shuhao finally agreed to our request. He arranged a private party, invited Li Luoyao to attend, and secretly arranged for us to meet her.

On the day of the party, I wore a low-key yet elegant dress, trying to look natural so as not to arouse Li Luoyao's suspicion. Zhong Yuxuan wore a black suit, looking more mature and stable.

When we arrived at the party, Li Luoyao was already there. She was wearing a red evening gown and delicate makeup, and she looked radiant, as if the frustration and madness of the wedding were just an illusion.

Seeing us appear, a barely perceptible viciousness flashed in Li Luoyao's eyes, but she quickly concealed it, replaced it with a hypocritical smile, and came forward to greet us.

"Brother Yuxuan, Luo Xue, long time no see." There was a hint of provocation in her tone, as if she was declaring something.

I held Zhong Yuxuan's hand tightly, trying to suppress the anxiety in my heart, and exchanged a few words with her. Zhong Yuxuan remained alert, his eyes scanning the surroundings sharply, as if looking for something.

Just as we were trying to find an opportunity to get close to Li Luoyao and get information, I suddenly felt a cold gaze staring at me from behind. The gaze was full of malice and murderous intent, which made me shudder. I turned around suddenly, but only saw a waiter hurriedly passing by with a glass of wine, and did not notice anything unusual.

Am I being overly suspicious? I was filled with doubts, but the feeling of being watched lingered and made me feel uneasy.

At this moment, Zhong Yuxuan suddenly held my hand tightly, his face became solemn, and he whispered: "Be careful, someone is coming..."

As soon as Zhong Yuxuan finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed out from the crowd and ran straight towards Li Luoyao. Before I could react, Zhong Yuxuan had already pulled me behind him and kicked the dark shadow to the ground.

"Luoyao!" Zhong Yuxuan roared, and pounced towards Li Luoyao, protecting her behind him.

I stood up in shock, and then I saw clearly that the shadow was a tall man wearing a black cap and a mask, and his face was not visible. He was kicked to the ground by Zhong Yuxuan, and he struggled to get up, but was punched in the face by Zhong Yuxuan, and fell to the ground again.

"What's going on?" I quickly ran to Zhong Yuxuan and asked nervously.

"Someone wants to harm Luo Yao." Zhong Yuxuan looked around vigilantly and said in a deep voice.

I followed his gaze and saw that the guests around were startled by this sudden change and were dodging in panic.

"Who sent you here?" Zhong Yuxuan grabbed the man's collar and asked sternly.

The man said nothing, just stared at Zhong Yuxuan viciously.

"You won't tell me?" Zhong Yuxuan snorted coldly, and lifted the man up with force. "If you don't tell me, I'll hand you over to the police!"

"Yuxuan, don't be impulsive!" I held Zhong Yuxuan's arm and whispered, "Control him first."

Zhong Yuxuan glanced at me and finally let go of my hand.

"Tie him up!" Zhong Yuxuan ordered the bodyguard behind him.

Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward and tied up the man.

"Luoyao, are you okay?" I walked to Li Luoyao and asked with concern.

Li Luoyao looked pale and frightened. She shook her head and said nothing.

"Let's leave here first." Zhong Yuxuan said in a deep voice.

We protected Li Luoyao and hurriedly left the banquet hall.

When I got back to the car, I was still feeling scared.

"Who on earth wants to hurt Luo Yao?" I muttered to myself.

"I don't know." Zhong Yuxuan shook his head, "But what is certain is that this person is related to the mysterious organization we are looking for."

My heart sank. Could it be that the mysterious organization already knew that we were investigating them?

"What should we do now?" I asked anxiously.

"Let's go back to the villa first." Zhong Yuxuan said in a deep voice, "We must find out as soon as possible who the mysterious organization is, why they want to target Luo Yao, and what is their relationship with the mystery of my life experience."

I nodded, my heart filled with uneasiness and worry. Just when we thought we were out of danger, a bigger conspiracy was quietly approaching, and our fate was once again caught in an unknown vortex.
