In Shen Xi's memory, within a couple of days, they were forced into the jungle.
Shen Xi only knew to try not to drag Chen Lu down, was completely unaware of the other's intentions, and was constantly on edge every day. Her brain simply wouldn't think, and every day when she opened her eyes, her mind echoed with three words — escape, escape, escape.
Later, she didn't know how many days they had been fleeing, but Chen Lu found an opportunity to do a rough analysis with her.
First, the letter very likely wasn't sent by Zhou Yuan, but was deliberately sent by those watching them to lure them to Yuncheng. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been targeted right after arriving in Yuncheng.
Second, the other party didn't want to kill them; they might be bait in the other's plan.
Third, the other party was forcing them toward the border to minimize their chances of seeking help and possibly to execute the plan there.
