Chapter 245: Escape 1

“I’ll stay by his side to ensure that he sees me when he wakes up. You go and get some food for him; I’m afraid he might wake up hungry, and I’m a bit peckish myself,” Su Hongxing said to Bai Chen.

Her documents were all at the hotel, and the hotel was not far from here. Timing-wise, she should have enough time to retrieve them once Bai Chen left.

Without suspicion, Bai Chen quickly left the hospital room.

Once assured that Bai Chen had gone far enough, Su Hongxing looked at Ye Qilan lying on the hospital bed and whispered: “Aqi, thank you for saving me.”

She was in doubt whether that car had deliberately targeted her. If so, how could it stop so suddenly after Ye Qilan saved her?

She didn’t want to dig into the matter as truth often proved to be ugly. Plus, this was an ideal chance for escape—lest she remain Ye Qilan’s captive forever.

Su Hongxing leaned over and kissed Ye Qilan on his forehead.

Considering that he had risked his life saving hers, she realized his love was genuine—both physically and emotionally. That was enough.

It indicated his feelings for her in their past life were true. They just weren’t fortunate enough to meet each other on time.

Su Hongxing mustered the courage to leave the hospital room without looking back.

However, she failed to notice that the instant she left the room, Ye Qilan opened his eyes, bleakly gazing at her receding silhouette…

Su Hongxing hurried back to the hotel and cleaned up her luggage in her room.

She also quickly found her identification and even her mobile phone.

After giving it thought, she decided to take her phone with her. It would make communication easier.

Upon her departure from the hotel, she hailed a taxi and went to the train station.

Taking a plane required showing her ID, which could reveal her location. Since she didn’t know when Ye Qilan would wake up, the sooner she could get away, the better.

Right now, being in another province, the timing couldn’t be more perfect than escaping from Taicheng.

Little did Su Hongxing realize that she would be so desperate to flee from someone like she was today…

Of course, Su Hongxing also didn’t notice that the moment she got into the taxi, a car—neither too far nor too close—began trailing her… it was Ye Qilan.

Bai Chen frequently stole glances at Ye Qilan. The dim light in the car periodically illuminated Ye Qilan’s icy face, making it especially eerie to look at.

“Sir, should we stop Miss Su now?” Bai Chen asked, his heart pounding with fear.

He had just left the hospital when he received a call from Ye Qilan, asking him to prepare the car and return to the hotel.

Upon their arrival at the hotel, Ye Qilan didn’t go inside but instructed him to park in an inconspicuous corner. Shortly after, Su Hongxing emerged with her suitcase in tow, giving him his first clue that she was planning an escape during Ye Qilan’s “unconscious” state.

People used to say, women’s hearts were made of poison, but in Su Hongxing’s case, a cold-hearted woman seemed more fitting.

Despite Ye Qilan saving her life, not only did she show no gratitude, she seized the opportunity to escape.

“No rush,” Ye Qilan said, leaning back lazily in his chair.

Instead of forcing her back, making her hate him even more, he wondered if there was a way to make her come back willingly…

Soon, Su Hongxing reached the train station. She randomly purchased a ticket for a train departing in half an hour.

Throughout this, her mind was in turmoil, frequently glancing around her.

For some reason, she felt uneasy. It seemed that her escape had gone too smoothly, making her feel unsettled.
