Lin Ruoxi escape plan! (2)

The car glided through the city with effortless grace, navigating its way through downtown streets before meandering along the waterfront district.

Lin Ruoxi sat in the car, her gaze fixed on the world outside. She occasionally glanced at Raven, whose demeanor remained stoic, and at Zhang Wei, a quiet figure beside her.

Summoning her courage, Lin Ruoxi finally spoke up, her voice trembling, "C-Can I step outside for a second?"

The car had reached the waterfront district, near a warehouse, where emptiness stretched around them. Hoping for a chance to take a brief walk, Lin Ruoxi's anticipation was met with an unexpected denial from Zhang Wei, delivered without a hint of remorse.

"No."

Stunned, Lin Ruoxi's gaze shifted outside. She wrestled with her roiling emotions before Raven directed the car to the southern district, following Zhang Wei's instructions. Soon, they turned onto a path leading to the Golden Dragon Falls.
