Could it be that Liu Jie's relationship with her own husband wasn't as good as it seemed.
Was it all just an act before?
It well might be.
In the moment Su Chen was distracted, Liu Jie suddenly turned around and ran towards the door.
Su Chen frowned and followed suit.
Liu Jie, once outside, headed straight towards the boundary of the area.
Slaves are forbidden to casually cross the boundaries between different areas.
They can only labor in their own designated region.
Once someone crosses the border without being seen by a Guard, it might be fine.
But if caught by a Guard, one would be shot and killed.
Su Chen realized Liu Jie's intent.
Indeed, when a woman cries and makes a scene,
it might not be serious yet.
What's truly frightening is calmness,
the calmness after she loses all hope.
"Stop, or we will shoot!" the Guards spotted Liu Jie from a distance.
They raised their machine guns, aiming at Liu Jie.
They weren't just threatening her.
