But within just two or three days, they would have to leave, to head to Beijing to shoot the final ending.
They would also be leaving Qinghai.
And this time, there was really no knowing when they could come back again.
She hadn’t yet told Lu Xiao about this, even though they both clearly understood that this day would inevitably come, knowing it all too well in their hearts and minds.
Unexpectedly.
After she finished her sentence, Lu Xiao came back with a serious reply:
“You just stay there without moving. Send me your location, and I will come find you.”
Wen Xian’s heart trembled slightly, and just as she was about to say something, she heard him continue:
“Don’t say anymore. The temperature is low now, and the ground can get slippery. I don’t feel safe with you riding in someone else’s car. I drive here all year round. No one knows this place better than I do. Just do as I say and wait for me.”
Moreover, his current location was not very far from her.
Hearing him say that, Wen Xian let out a soft sigh from the bottom of her heart and resigned herself to the situation.
The two of them were constantly going to great lengths to consider each other.
After hanging up the phone, she knew he was on his way driving over. From that moment on, her mood was no longer the same.
Her previously desolate and repressed heart gradually began to relax.
She had started to anticipate.
Yet, a severe issue still lay in front of them.
Soon they would be in two different cities, and meeting each other would become immensely difficult.
Could it be that they were destined to live like this forever…?
It wasn’t that she wanted him to leave this place. This was his mission, and she understood it all.
She took a deep breath and decided not to think about that issue anymore.
Watching the clock, she waited for Lu Xiao to come.
She had already told Sister Ling that she would let Lu Xiao drive her to the airport directly when it was time to board her flight to Beijing to finish filming the last part of her scenes.
And while she was counting down each second waiting—
Before driving off, Lu Xiao took one last look at the little wooden cabin that was nearing completion, then started the car and pressed the accelerator, driving away.
After a while, once he had taken care of the fireplace and arranged everything inside, he would be able to bring her there.
The highway was built alongside the mountain; on one side was the steep cliff, below were fir and pine forests covered with a layer of snow.
There were no barriers at the side of the highway, and as the snow tires sped rapidly across the road, they left behind distinct tracks.
At this moment.
Just then, Lu Xiao’s phone suddenly started to ring.
He glanced briefly at the caller, furrowed his brow slightly, then with one hand on the steering wheel, attached a Bluetooth earpiece with the other.
“Hello.”
His voice was deep.
Suddenly, a man’s voice came through:
“Captain Lu, we’ve found a trace of that man. Two farmers in the mountains said they saw him last night…”
The person on the other end continued to say something, but Lu Xiao’s expression grew darker, much like the sky as it started to dim, becoming more somber.
His lips pressed tightly together. When he spoke again, his words came slowly, “I understand. Continue the investigation, find out who’s pulling the strings behind all this. Don’t miss any clues!”
After hanging up, Lu Xiao’s expression was grave.
Indeed, the man they had just been talking about on the phone, the criminal surnamed Wu who had escaped, was the one in question.
He had always doubted how Wu could have escaped from prison, and it seemed there indeed was a puppet master behind the scenes.
And this Wu was just one of his pawns.
But who could that person be…!?
As the events unfolded bit by bit, it seemed as though the person behind the scenes could no longer contain themselves.
