Instantly, Liu Juan tightened her grip on Liu Ruolan's hand and vigilantly looked at Bo Xiao.
What did he want?
Was he trying to play some trick on her by changing the plan into any easy one?
But instead…
"The recording." Bo Xiao opened his palm in front of Liu Juan as there was no way he would let her go without taking the recording which she had recorded to use evidence against him.
"Of course." Since Bo Xiao had not only helped to get her freedom but also helped her to get her freedom in an easy way, she didn't mind handing over the recording to him without a second's hesitation
After handing over the recording to Bo Xiao, Liu Juan didn't want to waste a second. She moved to hold Liu Ruolan's hand again to go but then Bo Xiao's hand moved fast and he pulled Liu Ruolan into a hug.
"I will wait for you at the decided place." Bo Xiao whispered beside her ears to which she nodded in reply.
Liu Juan didn't like the closeness between her big sister and Bo Xiao. Thus she pulled Liu Ruolan out of Bo Xiao's embrace, "Let' go, Big Sis."
Liu Ruolan nodded and looked at Bo Xiao who returned a smile to her as if this were their last meeting. But this was not the end, but the beginning.
Afterward, both the sisters immediately ran towards the secret path through which Liu Juan ran the last time.
Soon enough, both the sisters were out of Bo Xiao's estate. Liu Juan had never felt before but now the air outside seemed to be fresh to her such that she wanted to grasp it to the fullest.
However, now it wasn't time for it yet as she needed to run away far….far from here. Thus, both the sisters started running through the forest instead of the road in the risk of being caught by any unexpected enemy. After all, this world was so dangerous that one could find enemies in every corner.
Though Liu Juan's right leg was artificial which meant that she couldn't do exaggerated exercise including running, still, she was running faster than Liu Ruolan.
While Liu Ruolan's running could be considered as if she was out to take a stroll in the forest to admire its beauty.
As a result, Liu Juan had to run back to get Liu Ruolan, "Big sister, please run fast. We need to go far away from here soon."
Though Liu Juan didn't know where they were going first as she wasn't prepared for this sudden change and easy plan, she knew she needed to go far away from here as soon as possible.
"Juan, I am running as fast as I can. Besides, I am not as strong as you. Please consider my strength also." Liu Ruolan annoyingly said which shut Liu Juan's mouth.
Only Liu Juan could understand her anxiousness because of the pain she had suffered all these years and how badly she wanted to go far….. far…. far away from here.
In the end, she started walking with Liu Ruolan as per Liu Ruolan's pace.
Both the sisters continued walking for two hours as per Liu Juan's guidance. The sky started to turn bright where the front path ahead of both the sisters could be clearly seen to them though the sun had yet to rise in the sky.
But then…
"Juan, wait!" Liu Ruolan grabbed Liu Juan's arms to make her stop.
"What happened, Big Sis?" Liu Juan confusingly asked.
"Juan, I think we should take this path." Liu Ruolan pointed to her right which led to the north side of the forest.
"This???" Liu Juan was confusingly looking at the path towards which Liu Ruolan had pointed out. As per Liu Juan's past experience, they should continue to the west side where they could find a highway but before she could explain it to Liu Ruolan, she was interrupted by Liu Ruolan.
"Juan, look, this side path seems to be smooth. I think we should move to this direction, we will surely find the highway soon enough. Besides, I have heard from a maid who comes here often that the smooth path is often used for the shortcut. I think this is the shortcut she was talking about." Liu Ruolan softly explained along with giving a reference of a maid but still, Liu Juan didn't seem to be convincing.
"But Big Sis…"
This clearly displeased her, that she couldn't help but cut off Liu Juan's words, "Juan, I am your big sister, I know better than you. If I am saying that we should take this direction then we should! If you don't want to come with me toward this direction then you can go as per your wish ALONE." With that, Liu Ruolan started to walk in the north side direction without waiting for Liu Juan.
Seeing that Liu Ruolan had already walked away alone, Liu Juan panicked. She had lost her big sister once and she didn't want to lose her again. Besides, her big sister was confidently saying that this way would lead to the highway then perhaps, it would!
While Liu Juan also didn't know the path she was suggesting would get them to a highway or not. Thus, she decided to listen to Liu Ruolan and ran after her hurriedly.
"Big sis wait for me!" Liu Juan soon caught up with Liu Ruolan but Liu Ruolan didn't give any attention to Liu Juan and continued to walk in front while Liu Juan was following just like they did in their childhood.
Remembering these memories, Liu Juan couldn't help but smile.
Both the sisters continued walking, Liu Ruolan was walking in front while Liu Juan was following her with her mind drift into the dreaming which she had been seeing to live a peaceful life with her and only her big sister.
Unfortunately, her mind couldn't drift away as she, soon enough, they found some unexpected people in front of them.
