Peach Blossoms in Chang'an

Chapter 246 Dawn appears

Wu Tao took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner anxiety, turned to look at Hu Bugui, and said with a barely perceptible tremor in his tone, "We need to formulate a response strategy as soon as possible."

Hu Bugui gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her to rest assured, his eyes full of determination, "I have contacted my tutor, and he will provide us with professional legal assistance. What we need to do now is to organize all the relevant documents and materials, and not miss any clues."

In the following days, Wu Tao and Hu Bugui devoted almost all their time to responding to this sudden crisis. They carefully checked every contract, the flow of every payment, and recorded every suspicious detail. With his keen insight as a financial analyst in his previous life, Wu Tao quickly discovered some key clues hidden in it.

"Look," Wu Tao pointed at a string of numbers on the computer screen with a frown, "there are obvious anomalies in the flow of funds for this project. They claimed that the funds were used to purchase equipment and raw materials, but in fact, the money was transferred to multiple shell company accounts."

Hu Bugui followed Wu Tao's thoughts and looked carefully. His expression gradually became serious. "It seems that what we encountered was not a simple investment mistake, but a carefully planned fraud."

"That's right," Wu Tao said with a hint of anger in his tone, "They took advantage of our enthusiasm and trust in this industry, set traps, and defrauded our funds. We can't let them get away with it!"

They handed over all the information they had sorted out to the lawyer and actively cooperated with the lawyer in the investigation and evidence collection. At the same time, Wu Tao did not give up on saving herself. She began to re-examine their entrepreneurial project and look for new breakthroughs.

"Crisis is often accompanied by opportunities," Wu Tao looked at the rising sun outside the window with a determined light in his eyes, "I believe that as long as we don't give up, we will be able to overcome the difficulties before us."

Hu Bugui looked at the woman who was full of courage and wisdom, and his heart was filled with admiration and love. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they would go on hand in hand.

"You're right," Hu Bugui held Wu Tao's hand tightly, his tone full of strength, "We still have each other and our dreams. We will definitely be able to get through this difficult time."

They readjusted their strategic direction and set their sights on a broader market. With their keen market insight and efficient execution, their projects have gradually gained market recognition, attracting more and more investment and partners...

"It seems that we made the right bet." Wu Tao looked at the financial statements for the latest quarter and a gratified smile appeared on his lips.

"No, this is not just a gamble," Hu Bugui shook his head, his eyes full of tenderness, "This is the result of our joint efforts."

"Next..." Wu Tao was about to say something, but was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Come in."

The secretary pushed the door open, looking a little panicked, "Boss Wu, Boss Hu, someone's looking for you outside..."

Before the secretary finished speaking, the office door was suddenly pushed open and Wu Tao's parents rushed in with anxious looks on their faces.

"Dad, Mom, why are you here?" Wu Tao looked at his breathless parents in front of him in surprise, feeling a little uneasy.

Mother Wu grabbed Wu Tao's hand, with a hint of blame and worry in her tone, "Child, why didn't you tell us about such a big thing? If your Aunt Wang hadn't run into your Uncle Hu in the community today, we would still be kept in the dark!"

"That's right, Taotao," Wu's father also echoed, "We know that it's not easy for you young people to start a business, but you can't do everything by yourself! If you have any difficulties, tell your family, we will help you even if we have to sell everything we have!"

Wu Tao looked at her parents' anxious expressions, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that her parents were so worried because they loved her deeply and didn't want to see her get hurt.

"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you," Wu Tao's eyes were slightly moist, "Actually, the situation is not as serious as you think. We have found a solution."

"Really?" Mother Wu looked at Wu Tao with doubt, "Are you saying this on purpose to reassure us?"

"Of course it's true," Hu Bugui walked forward and handed a document to Wu's mother, "Auntie, take a look at this."

Mother Wu took the document and began to read it carefully. As each page came into view, a look of surprise gradually appeared on her face.

"Is this... is this true?" Wu's mother raised her head and looked at Wu Tao and Hu Bugui in disbelief. "Is your project really revived?"

"That's right," Wu Tao smiled confidently, "My investment strategy has achieved remarkable results. Not only did it recover my previous losses, but it also achieved a substantial increase in asset value."

"Not only that," Hu Bugui added, "my martial arts courses have also been very popular in the market, my brand influence has gradually expanded, and I have become a well-known figure in the fitness field."

Hearing this, Wu's father and mother finally felt relieved. They looked at the young and promising couple in front of them, their eyes filled with relief and pride.

"Good! Good! Good!" Father Wu was so excited that he couldn't speak and could only say good repeatedly.

"Taotao, don't go back," Wu's mother's eyes welled up with tears, "You guys are so great! Your dad and I are so proud of you!"

Wu Tao and Hu Bugui smiled at each other, their hearts filled with happiness and satisfaction. They knew that their success did not only belong to themselves, but also to all the relatives and friends who cared about and supported them.

"By the way," Wu's mother suddenly remembered something and asked with concern, "Taotao, how is your father's health recently? The last time he went to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor said..."

"Mom, don't worry, Dad has fully recovered." Wu Tao interrupted her mother with a smile, turned to look at her father, her eyes full of admiration, "Dad is doing great now, not only does he exercise every day, he also learns a lot of modern knowledge from me!"

Father Wu scratched his head sheepishly and said with a simple smile: "I just want to help you young people share some of the burden. I can't let you worry all the time."

"Dad, your understanding and support for us is the greatest help you can give us." Hu Bugui said sincerely. He has always admired Father Wu's hard work and kindness.

Father Wu nodded with satisfaction. Looking at the outstanding young couple in front of him, he seemed to see the shadow of his own youth and was filled with energy and hope.

The success in their careers did not make Wu Tao and Hu Bugui lose their way. They knew that with great ability comes great responsibility. In order to give back to the society, they decided to set up a charity fund to help those in need with their own strength.

"We want to use this money to support children in poor mountainous areas to go to school, provide living security for the elderly and widows, and help families with serious illnesses who cannot afford medical expenses..." Wu Tao said emotionally at the founding ceremony of the charity foundation.

Hu Bugui stood beside her, holding her hand firmly. Their eyes met, and there was a determined light in each other's eyes.

The establishment of the charitable foundation has received widespread attention and support from all walks of life, and more and more people have joined their ranks to work together to create a better world.

On this day, Wu Tao and Hu Bugui came to the hospital to visit a seriously ill little girl named Yingying. Because her family was poor and could not afford the high cost of treatment, her life was in danger.

The arrival of Wu Tao and Hu Bugui brought hope to Yingying's family. They not only covered all of Yingying's medical expenses, but also provided them with living assistance.

"Thank you, thank you..." Yingying's parents were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears. They didn't know how to express their gratitude and could only say words of thanks over and over again.

Yingying was lying on the hospital bed, looking at the kind brother and sister in front of her, a bright smile appeared on her weak face.

"When I recover from my illness, I will help more people like you!" Yingying's voice was weak but full of power.

When they left the hospital, Wu Tao and Hu Bugui were both very upset. They realized that their efforts could not only change a person's fate, but also ignite hope and convey love and warmth.

"Taotao..." On the way home, Hu Bugui suddenly stopped and looked at Wu Tao affectionately.

"What's wrong?" Wu Tao looked at him puzzled.

Hu Bugui did not say anything, but took out an exquisite box from his pocket and slowly opened it... On the velvet in the box, a dazzling diamond ring lay quietly, and the diamond reflected the dazzling light, just like the hardships and trials they had experienced along the way, and the firmness and eternity that finally precipitated out.

"Marry me, Taotao." Hu Bugui knelt on one knee, looking at Wu Tao with burning eyes, his tone gentle but firm.

"I..." Wu Tao's eyes turned red instantly, and tears of happiness blurred her vision.

"I do!" She choked up as she said these three words. Her voice was soft but powerful.

A bright smile broke out on Hu Bugui's face. He stood up, carefully put the ring on Wu Tao's finger, and then hugged her tightly in his arms.

They decided to hold a grand wedding in modern times and invite all their relatives and friends to witness their happiness together.

On the wedding day, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the flowers were fragrant. Everything seemed particularly beautiful. Wu Tao wore a white wedding dress, looking like a princess from a fairy tale, beautiful and charming. Hu Bugui wore a black suit, looking handsome and tall, with a happy smile on his face.

With the blessings of their relatives and friends, they exchanged rings and vowed to stay together for life.

"Taotao, do you remember the scene when we first met?" At the dinner after the wedding, Hu Bugui raised his glass and looked at Wu Tao affectionately.

"Of course I remember. At that time, I had just traveled to the Tang Dynasty. I felt unfamiliar and scared about everything. It was you who shone into my life like a beam of light and gave me warmth and strength." Tears welled up in Wu Tao's eyes, but there was a happy smile on her lips.

"We have been through so many ups and downs together, and now we have finally reaped the rewards of our hard work," Hu Bugui said with deep emotion. "I believe that no matter how many challenges there are in the future, as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and usher in a better tomorrow."

"Yeah!" Wu Tao nodded heavily, his eyes full of longing and expectation for the future.

It was late at night and the guests had dispersed. Wu Tao and Hu Bugui walked side by side in the garden. The moonlight cast mottled shadows of the trees on the ground.

"Taotao..." Hu Bugui suddenly stopped, turned to look at Wu Tao, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"I... I was thinking..." Hu Bugui took a deep breath, "Should we... go back to the Tang Dynasty?"

Wu Tao was stunned. Under the moonlight, a complicated look flashed across her eyes...
