Xu Lie looked closely at the title on Lu Youyou's phone, and there was no unexpected color in his expression. This was a situation that could have been anticipated long ago.
I must clarify that you mentioned I wouldn't continue to do bad things if you helped keep this a secret, but I never agreed to that.
With Xu Lie's reminder, Lu Youyou, thanks to her excellent memory, suddenly recalled the scene from back then. At that time, she had refrained from discussing the topic further out of concern that it would inevitably bring up Xu Lie's deceased sister, which would cruelly reopen the wounds in his heart. Thus, she chose not to say much.
As she reminisced, Lu Youyou recalled more details. The day after the explosion at Gene Building, she had sought out Lin Yuanliang to ask for Xu Lie's phone number. At that moment, she couldn't get through; Xu Lie must have been on a flight to Xing Cheng, which was why she couldn't reach him.
Right, at that time, she had clearly wanted to know Xu Lie's whereabouts to confirm whether he was still doing bad things. Yet because Xu Lie had sprained his ankle, she had completely forgotten to check on him and only focused on his leg.
After all, if Xu Lie could go to Xing Cheng by himself despite his sprained ankle, then he must have been deceiving her. How could he do that?
Lu Youyou, with her healthy body, exhibited an oddly fragile demeanor, as if a gentle breeze could knock her over.
The soft wind swayed around her: how could this be said? Wasn't it supposed to be taken for granted?
Time and again, deceiving me—was it amusing?
Lu Youyou couldn't even articulate what emotion she felt at that moment. Sadness? Yes; sorrow? Certainly; anger? Even more so.
Ignoring the barrage of comments criticizing others, Xu Lie noticed something was off with Lu Youyou and chose to take a strong approach: it’s absolutely not amusing; I just can’t agree.
Just like earlier when you said you could accompany me for meals in the future—I was genuinely happy about that, but I also didn’t agree to it, right? I merely chatted with you about food topics.
Lu Youyou appeared even more vulnerable; her voice dropped several degrees: not even such a small promise...
Before Lu Youyou could continue questioning him, Xu Lie laid down his cards: because I'm about to be caught.
Lu Youyou's pupils dilated sharply as her expression shifted dramatically: caught?
At that moment, all feelings of sadness and anger were swept into the trash bin. She didn't even have the right to linger on her emotions for a second longer; they completely dissipated, leaving only deep concern for Xu Lie.
Xu Lie wore a dismissive expression, even managing to offer a relatively relaxed smile. "That's right, I'm just an ordinary person; I can't fly."
To travel back and forth between Ancheng and Xing Cheng, one could only take a plane or high-speed train. After all, these were two first-tier cities, and the distance was considerable. Taking a bus would take too long.
This meant that if the relevant authorities conducted an investigation into recent travelers between the two locations by plane or high-speed train, they could easily track him down within half a day at best, or two days at worst.
This was why Xu Lie had returned to Ancheng with Mini Mecha and had not left any messages in the cold storage of Xing Cheng. There was no need for further communication; the Special Investigation Team would soon be able to identify him as a suspect, making it impossible for him to escape unnoticed.
Lu Youyou increasingly agreed with this line of thought. In modern society, travel could be traced anywhere, and it was impossible to hide.
Completely unable to focus on whether Xu Lie was deceiving her or not, her mind in chaos, Lu Youyou could only frantically push Xu Lie away. "You... you need to run."
The implication was clear: she wanted him to flee. However, her muddled thoughts hindered her ability to articulate her meaning accurately.
Xu Lie found it amusing. "Run where?"
His simple three-word question left Lu Youyou in silence.
