As Bai Yuan looked at her disappearing back view, he suddenly felt a mix of emotions.
He didn't give chase but sighed heavily as though he both sympathized with and took pity on her. He drew out his cell phone and dialed a number.
The line was picked up almost at once. Bai Yuan simply said, "Exit B, now."
"Roger."

Li Beinian didn't dare to look back as she ran up the escalator frantically, two steps at a time.
Seeing her in such a situation, the people on the escalator automatically got out of the way, keeping a clear path for her to get to the top quickly.
It was noontime, and the sun was scorching hot.
She was already drenched in her own perspiration and gasping for breath. Turning around, she saw that Bai Yuan had caught up. He called out, "Sister Nian!"
This set all her internal alarms off. In a panic, she fled towards the main road.
Suddenly, a tiny white BMW utility car pulled up by the side.
