Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 709 - 702: The Final Gamble (Part 6)

It’s Da Lin!

Bai Yiran felt all the blood in her body freeze at this moment. She stood on top of the outhouse, the night wind was chilly, making her shiver a bit. Now, she wasn’t sure if she was trembling because of the cold wind or because of Da Lin.

In the dark, Da Lin stood by the door of the small building used as a makeshift bathroom. Once accustomed to the darkness, it wasn’t difficult to see that his eyes were staring unblinkingly at Bai Yiran.

Bai Yiran didn’t know when he appeared there, or perhaps he had always been there, only she hadn’t seen him.

Bai Yiran looked at Da Lin, his mouth curled into a cold smirk. This expression made a chill run through Bai Yiran’s heart; her last struggle had also failed...

Da Lin just stood there, neither moving nor speaking, only quietly watching Bai Yiran. Suddenly, he seemed to sigh and gave a barely noticeable nod to Bai Yiran.

Bai Yiran was astonished. Could it be that Da Lin was going to let her go?

In those few short seconds, Bai Yiran felt as if she had experienced a life and death ordeal. From the moment she climbed onto the top of the outhouse, as long as Da Lin made a sound, she would certainly be discovered by Jia and Yi, and then everyone would come out. Her plan to escape again would be completely exposed. During the day, she had already angered Wu Chengzu, and if she was caught trying to escape again, Bai Yiran couldn’t imagine what the consequences would be. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

But now Da Lin seemed intent on giving her a break. He went through so much trouble to capture her, yet now he wanted to let her go?

Bai Yiran didn’t have time to think too much. Since Da Lin didn’t intend to catch her, Bai Yiran continued to climb upwards.

One foot stepped onto the courtyard wall, and with a push, the other foot followed. Inside the courtyard, Jia and Yi were still asleep, and Da Lin’s eyes remained on her.

Bai Yiran took one last look at Da Lin, then turned her head to look below the courtyard wall.

The courtyard wall was high. Bai Yiran gently sat on it, supported by her hands, slowly lowering her legs, trying to slide down from the wall. However, due to injuries on her hands, she couldn’t withstand the weight of her body against the rough wall, causing her entire body to uncontrollably slide rapidly towards the ground, the tender flesh on her lower back scraped and marked with bloody streaks.

Bai Yiran covered her mouth, enduring the pain. She didn’t dare to make a sound. When she stood up, leaning against the wall, her eyes welled up with tears.

She finally escaped! Finally got out!

Wasting no time, Bai Yiran endured the pain and quickly ran towards the depths of the mountain.

The mountain at night was terrifyingly dark, occasionally accompanied by the cries of animals. Bai Yiran couldn’t afford to be frightened now. She ran while crying, invisible branches scratched her face, her hands, her neck.

At this moment, she seemed not to fear pain at all, but only knew to run desperately.

She thought that as long as she ran out of this mountain, she would be fine once she reached the other side. She overheard Jia and Yi mention that there was a village on the other side of the mountain, and in front of the village was a small town. They bought their daily necessities in the town; Bai Yiran thought that as long as she reached that village, she would be saved.

However, the mountain was so dark that she couldn’t see the road ahead at all. Like a headless fly, she ran desperately forward, hitting dead ends and then changing direction, but still ended up circling around the mountain, unable to find a path down. She feared that aimlessly running around without direction might lead her back the way she came.

For a moment, Bai Yiran stood in the pitch-black mountain, lost without direction...
