Xu Lie glanced at the headline on Lu Youyou's phone, showing no signs of surprise. This was something that could have been anticipated long ago.
I must clarify that I never agreed to your condition that I would stop doing bad things in exchange for your silence.
With Xu Lie's reminder, Lu Youyou quickly recalled the scene from back then. At that time, she had been worried that continuing the conversation would inevitably bring up Xu Lie's sister, which would cruelly reopen the wounds in Xu Lie's heart, so she chose not to say much.
As she reminisced, Lu Youyou remembered more. The day after the explosion at Ji University 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 was likely on a plane heading to Xing Cheng, which was why the call didn’t connect.
Right, back then she had wanted to know Xu Lie's whereabouts to confirm whether he was still doing bad things. Yet, when Xu Lie sprained his ankle, she completely forgot to check on his situation and only cared about his leg.
After all, if Xu Lie could go to Xing Cheng by himself, what did it matter if he sprained his ankle? He must have been deceiving her; how could he do this?
Lu Youyou, who was clearly in good health, presented a strangely weak demeanor, as if a gentle breeze could knock her over.
She swayed slightly in the wind and murmured: "How can you say that? Isn’t it supposed to be taken for granted?"
Time and again, he deceived her; was it really amusing?
Lu Youyou couldn’t even articulate her feelings at that moment. Sadness? Yes; sorrow? Also yes; anger? Even more so.
Ignoring the barrage of criticism directed at him online, Xu Lie noticed something was off with Lu Youyou and decided to take a firmer approach: "It’s definitely 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 it, but I also didn’t agree, did I? I merely chatted with you about food topics.
Lu Youyou sounded even more fragile now, her voice dropping several octaves: "Not even such a small promise?"
Not giving Lu Youyou a chance to question further, Xu Lie laid it all out: "Because I’m about to be caught."
Lu Youyou's pupils dilated sharply, her expression shifting dramatically: "Caught?"
In that instant, all her sadness and anger were swept away into the trash bin. They no longer had the right to linger in her heart for even a second; they vanished completely, 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 major cities, and the distance was considerable. Taking a bus would take too long.
This meant that as long as the relevant authorities conducted an investigation into the recent travel between the two cities by plane or high-speed train, they could potentially trace him within half a day if luck was on their side, or at most within two days if things went poorly.
This was why Xu Lie had brought the Smart Mini Robot with him back to Ancheng and hadn’t left any messages in the cold storage of Xing Cheng. There was no need for further messages; the Special Investigation Team would soon be able to identify him as a suspect, making it impossible for him to escape.
The more Lu Youyou listened, the more she agreed. In this modern age, travel could be tracked anywhere; there was no way to hide.
Completely unable to think about whether Xu Lie was deceiving her or not, her mind was in chaos. Lu Youyou could only frantically push Xu Lie and urged, "You... you need to run!"
The gist of her message was for Xu Lie to flee, but her muddled thoughts made it difficult for her to express herself accurately.
Xu Lie found it amusing and asked with a simple three-word retort, "Run where?"
The straightforward question left Lu Youyou speechless.
