The carriage hurtled all the way out of the city, carrying both of them.
Just then, Lin Qingyuan sensed that something was wrong.
She and Bai He had landed quite loudly on top of the carriage, so the person inside should have noticed something.
However, the carriage owner did not stop to check; on the contrary, the carriage was picking up its pace.
Both mistress and maidservant exchanged dubious looks.
Bai He whispered, "What if there's also a bad person inside?"
Lin Qingyuan was uncertain too.
"What should we do now?"
"Let's just wing it later," Lin Qingyuan replied in a low voice. Even though they had sensed something suspicious, she could not panic right now.
Right then, they heard the sound of thundering hooves.
They looked behind them, only to see the female leader and her gang riding after them on horseback. Soon, they caught up with them and stopped the carriage.
