But why did he go looking for Bai Zhi? Was it simply because Bai Zhi was injured, or was it out of a sense of responsibility?

Or perhaps it's because he and Bai Zhi haven't seen each other for too long, so they've grown distant. Once they meet again, their feelings will gradually warm up, and they'll be as happy as before.

Sigh, even Mo Nan couldn't fathom the president's thoughts.

Ou Zihan's private jet landed at New York Airport. Accompanied by several bodyguards, Ou Zihan rushed to Xiaoxiao's aunt's house.

However, he couldn't find Bai Zhi. Xiao Xiao's aunt said that Bai Zhi's condition had worsened and she had gone to a remote sanatorium in the suburbs for treatment. In fact, Bai Zhi's mental state had deteriorated and she could no longer live with normal people.

Upon hearing this, Ou Zihan realized that the situation was getting worse and worse, and he became increasingly anxious. So, without taking a break, he continued to drive towards the sanatorium.

...

It was already dawn in the woodshed, and light streamed in through the windows, illuminating the entire shed. One side of the woodshed was cluttered with firewood, a chaotic mess. Next to the firewood was a wooden stake with a sharp axe stuck in it. The place was dirty and disorderly; besides these things, there was nothing else.

Luo Xiaoyi's hands were tied behind her back, and her feet were also bound with thick ropes. She lay quietly on the ground, curled up. Her fair face was covered in dirt and mud, and her face was pressed against the ground. Her long, curved eyelashes were on her face. Her eyes were closed, and she was breathing evenly. Her breath kicked up wisps of dust. Her pink lips had turned pale and were dry and chapped.

Soon, the sun rose, and a bright, warm beam of light shone on her face. Her long eyelashes trembled like cicada wings. She slowly opened her eyes. After a night of darkness, the sudden brightness made her feel very uncomfortable. For a moment, she was so blinded that she couldn't see anything. She closed her eyes for a while, then slowly opened them to adjust to the light. Finally, she could see things clearly.

Didn't she attempt suicide yesterday? How come she didn't die? She's still in this woodshed, having stayed up all night until dawn.

Oh, she remembered. Last night, just as she was about to bite her tongue and commit suicide, a huge, furry, fleshy thing suddenly fell from the roof, sliding down her face and onto her body. She was terrified and screamed!

By the moonlight, she could see clearly that it was a rat that was half a meter long. She swore that she had never seen such a big rat in her life.

It was as big as Garfield! The giant rat jumped onto her, sat on her chest, and stared at her with its two round, bright eyes. She had never known that a rat's eyes could be so bright in the dark, so bright they seemed to glow. It scared her so much that she fainted!

So, she didn't die.

Perhaps it was fate. Since even heaven wouldn't let her die, why should she insist on taking her own life? She should be strong and find a way to live well.

My mother once told her that no matter how life torments you, as long as you have a breath left, things will get better. Mom, I'm sorry, I was too pessimistic and depressed last night, and I almost made a big mistake.

Mom, did you save my life last night? Mom, I will listen to you and I will never try to take my own life again. I will try my best to live a good life.

Mom, I know you always supported my medical career. I know you are watching over me from heaven. I will never let you down again. Even if I have nothing, I will live well for my career and do my best to relieve patients' suffering.

Mom, I will definitely find my brother and take good care of him.

She perked up again. Didn't Erdan's father say last night that they would have to do farm work during the day? There would definitely be fewer people watching her. Perfect, she could find a way to escape during the day.

She saw an axe on a nearby wooden stake, and a glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She moved her body with all her might, using every ounce of strength she had. Like an earthworm, she writhed in and out until she finally reached the wooden stake. She half-squatted, her back to the stake, and placed the rope around her wrist against the blunt axe blade. She rubbed the rope hard against the blade, determined to break it.

Because the axe was old and dull, she tried to sharpen the rope for a while, but the rope didn't react at all.

For someone who wasn't good at sports, this posture was difficult to hold and extremely strenuous. However, no matter how difficult it was, an iron rod could be ground into a needle, and even the dullest axe could be worn down to break a rope. She was determined to persevere, and she continued to grind.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but the sun was shining brightly, and it was probably almost noon. She hadn't eaten or drunk anything since yesterday, and she was so hungry that she had no strength left. She was sweating profusely, and the sweat was streaming down her face, leaving dark streaks on her fair skin. She looked utterly miserable.

"Keep going, Luo Xiaoyi," she told herself again and again.

Sure enough, perseverance pays off, and she finally wore the rope on her wrists off! Her hands had been tightly bound all night, and they were so red and swollen from the tight binding that the veins were blocked. There were deep red marks on her wrists, and it hurt a lot.

Now finally free, she quickly untied the ropes binding her feet. Ah, she could finally stand up, finally look like a human being, instead of being bound and curled up, unable to even sit up properly, feeling so uncomfortable. She rubbed her wrists and ankles, feeling so much lighter.

The door was locked, and her only way out was through the window. She could tell at a glance that the windows in this rural area were rudimentary, with broken wooden frames and shattered glass—they hardly looked like windows at all. But for her, who wanted to escape, this was definitely a golden opportunity.

The window was a bit high, so she used all her strength to move the large wooden stake to the base of the window. Stepping on the stake, she climbed onto the window and gently pushed it open. Of course, she had to act quietly, lest she alert the person watching her and all her efforts would be in vain.

Despite her carefulness, the window still made a very small 'creak' sound, and the window opened completely. A refreshing breeze rushed in, and she finally got some fresh air after yesterday.

At the same time, her heart skipped a beat. She hoped she hadn't been discovered. She frowned, her heart pounding. She stopped moving. A few minutes later, she heard no footsteps. It seemed she hadn't been discovered. She climbed onto the windowsill and looked around. She didn't see a single person. It seemed the person watching her was the same as yesterday, guarding the gate of the yard.

She jumped down from the windowsill, but because the windowsill was a bit high, she still fell hard. Unfortunately, she also twisted her ankle at the same time. It was truly a double whammy. She was in so much pain that she was wincing, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
