Chapter 7 I Am Not a Thief
"Found her! Is that Sun Chan? Over there!"
Everyone shouted, and Zhao Xiuxia's heart soared when she heard someone say they spotted her in the front.
She told her family that Sun Chan knocked out her sister and stole the family's money before running away, which made it a serious criminal act. Plus, Zhao Xiuxia promised to give a twenty-dollar reward if they caught her!
So everyone was full of energy in their pursuit.
Sun Chan dashed rapidly along the winding mountain path. She absolutely couldn't follow the same path as her past life; if she was caught tonight, she would either be beaten to death or violated by Zhou Jinzhu. She would rather die!
Sun Chan turned a corner and saw a car parked halfway up the road. In the shadows of the roadside grass stood a person, seemingly relieving himself.
The person tidied up his clothes, returned to the car, and started the engine. Sun Chan glanced back at the increasingly closer flashlight beams and quickly climbed onto the car.
The car was too tall, and in her haste, her right ankle hit a protrusion on the car, nearly causing her to fall off. The car was already starting, and she knew it was a matter of life and death; if she fell, she'd be done for. Ignoring the pain, she clung onto the truck bed, strenuously climbed inside, and collapsed into the vehicle. She heard a cracking noise from her right foot, and tears welled up due to the intense pain.
Poor Sun Chan, on her first day back, was this unlucky. Truly tragic.
The driver had no idea someone had already hidden on top, and drove off just like that.
When the villagers caught up, the wide road was deserted, with no one in sight.
