After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

Wang Jiaojiao had never been so disheveled in her life. But at this moment, she also understood that she couldn't rely on herself alone. Therefore, she could only place her hopes on Su Yanxi.

"What other options do we have now?"

Su Yanxi looked around and found a hollow filled with shrubs and weeds, which would be hard to spot unless you got close. Su Yanxi had an idea and called Wang Jiaojiao over: "Look, this hollow is just the right size to hide the two of us."

"Hiding here?"

Wang Jiaojiao glanced at the dent in front of her and frowned: "Will this work? If Sun Bin finds out, the two of us won't be able to escape."

“I’ve looked around, and this doesn’t seem to be the path up the mountain. We must have taken the wrong route when we were running. Besides, we’re both pretty exhausted, and running any further won’t work. So, we might as well take a gamble.”

Su Yanxi calmly analyzed the situation. As long as they could avoid Sun Bin and wait for him to continue forward, they could return the way they came. At this point, only by returning the way they came could they have any hope of escaping.

Wang Jiaojiao wanted to argue, but Su Yanxi impatiently retorted, "If you don't agree, then you can run away. I'll hide here by myself. Anyway, the person he's looking for isn't me!"

Wang Jiaojiao opened her mouth, but unusually did not reply.

Su Yanxi told Wang Jiaojiao to hide in the ditch first, then took the backpack off Wang Jiaojiao, ran forward a while by herself, dropped the backpack, and then turned back.

Just as Su Yanxi had taken cover in the ditch, Sun Bin appeared before them. Before Su Yanxi could even catch her breath, upon seeing Sun Bin, she could only tightly cover her mouth with her hand, afraid that her breath would let him know. Wang Jiaojiao followed Su Yanxi's example, covering her mouth with her hand.

Sun Bin was exhausted from the chase, especially since he was wearing leather shoes and a suit. If he had been dressed in hiking gear like Su Yanxi and Wang Jiaojiao, he would have caught them long ago. But it was precisely because of this that Sun Bin became even more determined to find them!

Seeing Sun Bin's sinister expression, Wang Jiaojiao was truly miserable. If she had known Sun Bin was this kind of person, she would never have given him any hope. It's like trying to avoid trouble and still getting herself into a mess!

Sun Bin, panting heavily, looked around and continued chasing. Soon, he found the backpack he had abandoned, cursed under his breath, and continued the chase.

After confirming that Sun Bin had gone far away, Su Yanxi and Wang Jiaojiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do we do now?"

"What else can we do? We need to get down the mountain before he can react."

"But I can't walk anymore."

Su Yanxi staggered to her feet, unable to walk any further. However, Sun Bin would soon discover that they weren't actually ahead, and if he turned back, they would be doomed.

"You have to keep going even if you can't, unless you want to get arrested!"

Wang Jiaojiao pouted, stood up, and followed Su Yanxi out of the pit. The two of them turned back the way they came.

They hadn't walked far when Wang Jiaojiao cried out in surprise and fell heavily to the ground. Su Yanxi quickly went back and helped Wang Jiaojiao up: "Are you alright?"

"My ankle, I twisted my ankle, it hurts so much."

Wang Jiaojiao winced in pain; she hadn't seen the stone on the ground clearly and had fallen hard because she was walking fast.

"Can you still walk?"

Su Yanxi was also a little anxious. Wang Jiaojiao was really a young lady from a wealthy family. How could she fall down so easily?

Wang Jiaojiao was in so much pain she wanted to curse, but then she thought that she was running for her life. If she managed to drive Su Yanxi away, she would be left to face the crazed Sun Bin alone. With that in mind, Wang Jiaojiao could only frown and reply, "I don't know, let's try."

Upon hearing this, Su Yanxi helped Wang Jiaojiao up. Wang Jiaojiao was in so much pain that she couldn't run anymore and could only limp slowly forward. Su Yanxi glanced behind her, anxious but helpless, and could only accompany Wang Jiaojiao as she walked slowly, silently praying that Sun Bin would notice the abnormality a little later so that they could get out.

As time passed, the two of them had barely covered fifty or sixty meters. Su Yanxi stopped and said, "No, if this continues, neither of us will be able to escape."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiaojiao grabbed Su Yanxi's hand, somewhat flustered: "Su Yanxi, what do you want to do? You can't leave me alone!"

"I'll find a place to hide you, and I'll go out and find someone by myself."

"No, no, you can't leave me alone!"

Wang Jiaojiao immediately shook her head in refusal; she absolutely could not stay here alone.

"Stop wasting time. If this continues, none of us will escape. Besides, if I really wanted to abandon you, I wouldn't have saved you in the first place."

Su Yanxi knew that Wang Jiaojiao was afraid that she would abandon her. Putting herself in her shoes, she would be afraid too if this happened to her.

"Wang Jiaojiao, at this critical juncture, you only have one choice: listen to me! Either I hide you away and you wait for me to come back and rescue you, or you face everything alone!"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Wang Jiaojiao had no choice but to choose the first option.

Su Yanxi looked around and found a thicket of bushes, just the right place to hide. Su Yanxi turned to Wang Jiaojiao and instructed, "You hide behind those bushes while I go find someone. Remember, no matter what happens, don't make a sound."

Wang Jiaojiao nodded hurriedly. At this moment, she could only trust Su Yanxi.

Just as Su Yanxi was about to help Wang Jiaojiao walk towards the bushes, she suddenly heard a cold voice behind her: "You two have been on my radar for ages!"

Upon hearing the voice, Su Yanxi and Wang Jiaojiao froze on the spot. Turning around with slight trembling, they saw Sun Bin standing behind them, backpack in hand, a sinister smile on his face!

Sun Bin's leather shoes were nowhere to be found; he was only wearing socks, which explained why the two of them hadn't heard a sound.

"Why have you two stopped running? Keep running, keep going!"

Sun Bin suddenly raised his voice, and Wang Jiaojiao screamed in fright, turning her head away, trembling violently, not daring to look at Su Yanxi. Su Yanxi was also frightened by Sun Bin's appearance, not expecting him to return so quickly.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Sun Bin gave an irrelevant answer: "Look what I found." As he spoke, Sun Bin pulled a bundle of rope out of his backpack.

The backpack contained items prepared by the farm staff: rope, a compass, bottled water, and some basic medicine. Originally intended as a precaution, it had now become Sun Bin's weapon against Su Yanxi and Wang Jiaojiao.

Su Yanxi and Wang Jiaojiao tried to back away, but Wang Jiaojiao cried out in pain as soon as her heel touched the ground and fell to the ground. Because she was holding onto Su Yanxi tightly, Su Yanxi also fell to the ground. The two of them looked up and saw Sun Bin rushing towards them…
