Chapter 225 - THEY WERE BEING CHASED
Nana Shimizu tripped in the root of a tree and fell on the ground.
As she fell, Han Luo was pulled back to her. She turned around and saw Nana Shimizu crying softly in pain.
Nana Shimizu bitterly said, "Luo, I'm sorry for dragging you but I cannot do this anymore. I've never walked fast let alone run."
Her mother was trying to make her only daughter an elegant princess. It was one of the reasons she never did exercise.
As a result, carrying heavy boxes and running with her life depending on it, it was too much for her.
"Don't worry about it. We are close. Just a few more minutes and then we will reach the road. Then we can ask for help," Han Luo was no better than her.
She was continuously bleeding and losing her strength quickly. She was feeling dizzy but with her strong determination to save Nana Shimizu kept her going on.
Nana Shimizu complained, "You said the same thing hours ago. How long will it take?"
"Another few minutes," Han Luo responded.
To tell the truth, she had no idea either. They were running for a long time but they still didn't reach the road.
Han Luo didn't want to discourage Nana Shimizu and that's why she lied.
Meanwhile, the tattoo guy came back and heard that their little witnesses escaped.
He slapped one of his men and ordered, "How could you let two mere teens outsmart you? Don't just stand there, find them! Not only in the west, look at the north, and east too. They didn't go to the south realizing that it was the only way we used. They are city girls. They can't go far in the forest.
After his instruction, they hired more men and began to search at every inch of the woods.
At that time, Han Luo was seeing double. Her head was fuzzy and her world began to sway. She couldn't run like before.
Nana Shimizu noticed her unusual behavior. "Luo, what's wrong?" she asked in anxiety.
She didn't hear any reply. Only then she noticed that clothes around Han Luo's arms were turning red.
Her eyes widened in horror. "L-Luo you are bleeding!"
When she first saw the clothes around her arms, she thought that Han Luo did it so that her arms couldn't hurt. She didn't think that she was injured.
'She was enduring all alone… what am I doing?' Nana Shimizu lamented.
This time, it was she who grabbed Han Luo's hand and dragged her with her. "Leave everything to me. I'll take you to the road."
They didn't go that far before they heard men's voices coming from behind.
Thinking that those were the voices of the kidnappers, Nana Shimizu's heart dropped. They were being chased. She moved her legs faster.
Han Luo also noticed some commotion. 'A little further… then we can reach the road and ask for help…' thinking that she gritted her teeth and dashed along with Nana Shimizu.
Nana Shimizu saw her running side by side and sped up.
They eventually saw the road and someone they got more strength inside their bodies.
They reached the road and didn't stop. They sprinted to the right side on the road and kept going further.
This place was far away from London city. It was quiet and there weren't many cars passing on the road.
Some moments later, they saw a car driving in their direction.
Nana Shimizu stopped and waved her hands toward the car. 'Please, please, stop,' she kept praying in her heart.
Maybe her prayer had been granted. The car stopped beside them with a screeching noise. Someone got out of the car.

Flashback:
After Beth came out of the washroom, she went where James was and she was puzzled seeing that Han Luo wasn't there. She asked, "Where is Luo, James?"
James casually replied, "I believe she went with you."
Beth stated, "But, I told her to go back first."
James suggested, "Then you can call her. I think she is strolling somewhere around here."
He knew that Han Luo was a wise girl. She wouldn't get lost so easily. That's why he wasn't worried.
Beth called her but Han Luo didn't answer the call. Beth didn't like the feeling she was having in her heart. She complained with a frown, "She always answers my call. Why isn't she picking up?"
James stood up. He became serious too. He instructed, "Call her again."
Beth complied. She called Han Luo again and looked around with James. When her friend didn't answer, they went to the security office.
The security officer was a serious person. He tracked Han Luo's cell phone and they found it around the bushes.
Her cell phone fell on the ground when she was hiding in the bushes with Nana Shimizu.
Beth's face turned pale. Her voice quivered as she said, "I should contact her house."
At first, she contacted her home and told her mother what happened here. Her mother said that she would come immediately.
And then, she called Tang Yujin. Once, she secretly stole his number from Han Luo's mobile. She thanked herself for doing that.
Tang Yujin didn't like to answer unknown numbers. That's why he delayed answering. He calmly asked, "Who is this?"
Beth hurriedly said, "Yujin! I'm Beth. I went out with Luo in the morning. We were having fun in the amusement park. I was in the washroom. When I came back, she had suddenly gone missing. Her cell phone was on the ground. I think she has been kidnapped!"
While speaking, she began to weep in nervousness and anxiety.
Tang Yujin's heart shook thinking about Han Luo witnessing the killers. He commanded, "Stay where you are. I'm coming."
He hung up and dialed Mo Yuan and then Butler Noah's numbers. He explained the whole situation as fast as he could.
Both of their hearts dropped after hearing the news.
Mo Yuan stated, "I'm telling mom."
"I'll call the police," Butler Noah said.
Soon, they headed toward the amusement park.
