Xu Damao felt that his efforts had finally paid off.

I secretly vowed in my heart that I must work harder in the future and contribute all my strength to the revolutionary cause.

Xu Damao stood in the office. Outside the window was the heavy gray sky, which was very similar to his gloomy mood at the moment.

In his hand was a document, which was the evidence he had painstakingly collected, and it detailed the so-called "crimes" of Lou Xiao'e's family.

He clutched the document tightly, his heart filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Lou Xiao'e, the woman he once deeply loved, has now become his biggest enemy.

Lou Xiao'e's family background has always been a pain point for him, and the label of being a big bourgeoisie made him feel extremely stressed during the revolutionary era.

He once fantasized that he could get rid of this shadow through his own efforts, but Lou Xiao'e's every move was an invisible reminder of his own humbleness and powerlessness.

"She can't escape." Xu Damao swore secretly in his heart.

Sitting back at my desk, I carefully checked every document in my hand to make sure nothing was missed.

Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open and a short figure walked in. It was his assistant.

"Director Xu, I heard that Lou Xiao'e and her family have escaped." The younger brother spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid of causing Xu Damao's dissatisfaction.

"I know." Xu Damao replied coldly, the anger in his heart burning even more fiercely.

He slammed the table, "They can't get away!"

"But..." The younger brother hesitated, "They have already left the city. According to reliable information, they went to the south."

Xu Damao was silent for a moment, then raised his head with a firm look in his eyes: "Send people to the south immediately and mobilize all forces to bring them to justice!"

The younger brother nodded and quickly left the office.

Xu Damao fell into deep thought. He knew this would be a protracted battle, but he had no way out.

At the same time, Lou Xiao'e and her family temporarily settled down in a small town in the south.

Her father, Mr. Lou, was already gray-haired, and her mother was exhausted from the long journey.

Lou Xiao'e looked at her elderly parents, her heart filled with guilt and anxiety.

"Can we really escape this disaster?" her mother couldn't help asking.

"Mom, we'll be fine." Lou Xiao'e forced a smile and tried to comfort her mother. "This place is so remote, how could Xu Damao find us?"

"Xiao'e, you are too naive." Old Master Lou sighed, "Xu Damao is a cruel man, he will not let us go easily."

Lou Xiao'e was silent. She understood what her father said. She once thought that Xu Damao was just a passionate young man, but she didn't expect him to become so cold-blooded and ruthless.

"We have to find a way," Lou Xiao'e said firmly. "We can't just sit there and wait for death."

Mr. Lou nodded: "We need to find a way out."

After discussing for a whole night, they decided to act separately. Lou Xiao'e and her mother continued to stay in the town, while Grandpa Lou tried to contact old friends, hoping to find a safe way to leave the south.

The next day, Mr. Lou set off.

Lou Xiao'e looked at her father's departing back, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She knew that this separation might mean life or death, but she did not shed tears because she understood that she had to be strong.

In the following days, Lou Xiao'e and her mother lived in hiding. They lived in the most remote corner of the town and tried to avoid contact with the outside world.

However, they never let their guard down and were always ready to deal with sudden dangers.

Lou Xiao'e and her family were extremely nervous during the escape, but they remained calm.

Although Xu Damao's forces were everywhere, they successfully avoided the encirclement through clever disguise and careful planning.

Along the way, they kept changing their means of transportation, from night trains to small boats at dawn, and finally arrived at the port smoothly before sunrise.

After arriving at the port, Lou Xiao'e and her family quickly boarded a ship bound for Hong Kong.

The ship moved slowly forward on the calm sea. Lou Xiao'e stood on the deck, looking at the continent getting farther and farther away, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that this escape was not only for herself, but also for the safety and future of her entire family.

Although life on the boat was simple, Lou Xiao'e and her family supported each other and got through the initial difficult times.

During the day, they enjoyed the rare tranquility while planning their life after arriving in Hong Kong; at night, the sea breeze blew away the gloom in their hearts.

After several days and nights of sailing, the outline of the Xiangjiang River finally appeared on the horizon.

The sight of tall buildings and a busy port in the distance feels both strange and exciting.

Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath, held her family's hands tightly, and secretly vowed to start over in this new land.

After the boat docked, Lou Xiao'e and her family quickly passed immigration inspection.

Although the environment in Hong Kong is completely different from that in the mainland, they are not afraid at all, but are full of expectations.

Lou Xiao'e decided to find a temporary residence first to lay the foundation for her future life.

Through a friend's introduction, they rented a simple but clean cottage.

In the following days, Lou Xiao'e and her family gradually began to adapt to the pace of life in Hong Kong.

With her intelligence and talent, Lou Xiao'e quickly found a job and began to contribute income to the family.

She goes out early and comes back late every day, working hard to learn the local language and culture, hoping to integrate into this new environment.

However, even though her life was gradually getting back on track, Lou Xiao'e still did not let her guard down.

She knew that Xu Damao's forces were still strong and he might pursue them at any time.

In order to protect her family, she always remains highly vigilant and acts with caution.

As time went by, Lou Xiao'e and her family gradually gained a foothold in Hong Kong.

She began to think about how to live here longer.

Through hard work and savings, they finally bought a small house of their own and ended the days of renting a house.

Although this new home is not big, it is full of warmth and hope.

Although life in Hong Kong was full of challenges, Lou Xiao'e and her family never gave up their pursuit of a better life.

She continued to improve her skills, gradually reaching the pinnacle of her career and becoming a respected professional.

Her diligence and hard work not only improved her family's life, but also won the respect and recognition of her colleagues.

Although the shadows of the past still emerge from time to time, Lou Xiao'e understands that only by facing reality and moving forward bravely can she truly get rid of the past and embrace the future.

She believes that in Hong Kong, a land full of hope, they will surely usher in a better tomorrow.

Xu Damao's face flushed red as he stood in front of Deputy Director Li, head lowered, not daring to even breathe.
