She managed to lose them long enough to hide Po in a crate of radishes and she had a small moment with him, knowing it would be the last time she would see his son, and then ran off and distracted Shen and the wolves and ran off with them following her so they wouldn't see Po. The young panda was shipped across China and into the Valley of Peace and he was found by Mr. Ping, owner of the noodle shop.
