Chapter 29 Unexpected Discovery
At dawn, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen finally got rid of the pursuers and hid in a remote small hotel. Both of them were exhausted, but they knew that now was not the time to relax.
"We have to leave here as soon as possible," Huo Yanshen whispered, his eyes scanning the window vigilantly, "They may still be searching for us."
Su Wanwan nodded, and suddenly felt dizzy. She held onto the wall and took a few deep breaths.
Huo Yanshen noticed her abnormality and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, maybe I'm just too tired." Su Wanwan forced a smile, but a little uneasiness rose in her heart. This feeling seemed familiar, but she didn't want to think about it.
After a brief rest, the two set out on the road to escape again. In the next few days, they kept changing their hiding places while trying to decipher the information in the USB flash drive. Each in-depth investigation made them more convinced of the danger of the "Phoenix Project".
However, as time went on, Su Wanwan's physical condition became worse and worse. She often felt nauseous and tired, and her appetite was not as good as before.
One morning, when Huo Yanshen went out to buy food, Su Wanwan sat alone on the bed in the hotel, thinking about her recent symptoms. A terrible thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
"Impossible..." She murmured to herself, but she felt more and more uneasy.
When Huo Yanshen came back, he found Su Wanwan sitting on the bed in a daze with a pale face.
"Wanwan, what's wrong?" He put down what he was holding and quickly came to her.
Su Wanwan looked up at Huo Yanshen, her eyes filled with fear and confusion: "Huo Yanshen, I...I might be pregnant."
Huo Yanshen was stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses: "Are you...are you sure?"
Su Wanwan shook her head: "I'm not sure, but the symptoms match. We...that night..." Her voice became smaller and smaller.
Huo Yan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "We need to confirm it. I'll go buy a pregnancy test stick."
When Huo Yanshen came back, Su Wanwan had been waiting in the bathroom for a long time. She took the pregnancy test stick, her hands shaking slightly.
"Don't worry," Huo Yanshen said softly, "No matter what the outcome is, we will face it together."
Su Wanwan looked at him gratefully and closed the bathroom door.
The next few minutes seemed like an eternity. When Su Wanwan finally opened the door, Huo Yanshen immediately went to greet her.
"What's the result?" he asked nervously.
Su Wanwan silently handed him the pregnancy test stick. Two clear red lines meant the result was positive.
Huo Yanshen took a breath and didn't know what to say. Su Wanwan suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell. Huo Yanshen quickly supported her and gently carried her to the bed.
"What should we do?" Su Wanwan asked in a low voice, her eyes full of confusion.
Huo Yanshen sat beside the bed and held her hand: "First, we need to calm down. This is indeed an accident, but it is not the end of the world."
Su Wanwan smiled bitterly: "But the current situation... We are being hunted and our lives may be in danger at any time. How could it be possible..."
"Hush," Huo Yanshen hugged her gently, "I know the situation is complicated now, but we will find a way. The most important thing is that you are not alone. I will always be by your side."
Su Wanwan leaned in Huo Yanshen's arms, feeling his warmth. She knew that Huo Yanshen was telling the truth, but her heart was still filled with worry.
"But the Phoenix Project... we haven't found out the truth yet. If we give up like this, wouldn't it be a waste of my father and Li Guoqiang's sacrifice?"
Huo Yanshen thought for a moment, then said, "We won't give up. But right now, your safety and health are the most important. Maybe... maybe we need to change our strategy."
"What do you mean?" Su Wanwan looked up at him.
“I was thinking maybe we should ask for help. We can’t do much with just the two of us. I know some trustworthy people who might be willing to help us.”
Su Wanwan hesitated: "But isn't this too risky? We don't know who we can trust."
Huo Yanshen gently stroked her hair: "I know this is risky, but we have no choice now. For you and for the child, we must seek help."
Hearing the word "child", Su Wanwan suddenly felt dazed. She looked down at her abdomen, where a new life was being nurtured. This realization made her feel both terrified and a little bit of wonderful anticipation.
"Do you... do you want to keep this child?" Su Wanwan asked cautiously.
Huo Yanshen looked deeply into her eyes: "Wanwan, this decision should be made by you. But if you ask me for my opinion... I hope we can give this child a chance."
Su Wanwan felt her eyes moisten: "Even in this situation?"
“Even in this situation,” Huo Yanshen said firmly, “I know this is crazy, but maybe… maybe this child is a gift from God to us, giving us the motivation to keep moving forward.”
Su Wanwan leaned on Huo Yanshen's shoulder, and finally couldn't hold back her tears. All the fear, confusion and pressure burst out at this moment. Huo Yanshen hugged her tightly and comforted her softly.
After a long while, Su Wanwan finally calmed down. She looked up at Huo Yanshen, her eyes flashing with determination: "You are right, we can't give up. Whether for the truth or for this child, we must keep moving forward."
Huo Yanshen nodded, his eyes full of love and determination: "Let's face it together, okay?"
Su Wanwan held Huo Yanshen's hand tightly: "Okay, let's go together."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the window. Huo Yanshen immediately became alert and quickly went to the window to check the situation.
"Someone's coming," he whispered, "we have to leave immediately."
Su Wanwan quickly packed up her necessities and followed Huo Yanshen to the back door. Just as they were about to escape from the hotel, there was a loud bang at the front door.
Huo Yanshen grabbed Su Wanwan's hand and said, "Run!"
The two rushed into the dark alley, and the shouts of pursuers came from behind. Su Wanwan's heart was beating like a drum, but she knew she couldn't stop now.
