Turning Point (2)

Ran Xueyi looked up ahead, where the group was already several steps ahead of her, unaware of the danger lurking behind them. She wanted to shout a warning, but she hesitated, not because she wanted to be saved, but because she needed to tell them that their enemies had already anticipated their route and would soon surround them.

Yet she knew that any attempt to alert them would likely provoke the man behind her to act ruthlessly. If she made a move to signal her friends, the man wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger.

She could only trust that Evgenia and Alina would notice something sooner so that it wouldn't end up in the worst outcome.

"Slowly back away."

The man continued to order her around, completely disregarding her worries.

Ran Xueyi followed his instructions, retracing her steps and keeping the gun pressed on her head close so she knew where the man was.
