crouched for a while, they finally saw the gate of the small courtyard open. 。Four people went out. At the moment of opening and closing the door, one could vaguely see that there were other people i...Lin Jinran fled without stopping, sprinting to a secluded corner. She desperately needed help, to return to Mu Shaocheng's side.

Lin Jinran dared not wander aimlessly, fearing that there might be owls nearby. He had to dodge carefully out of fear.

Her body was very weak, her legs trembled almost to the point of collapse after walking for just a short distance. She leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, and her eyes constantly observed the movements around her.

She felt a little regretful. She should have asked for help near the hotel just now, but she was afraid of being found by Night Owl, so she ran for a long time and ended up here. All the shops were closed, and she hadn't seen anyone after walking for ages.

What on earth is this place Will she be able to find anyone to help her if she keeps walking like this

"Girl, what are you doing here" A voice, old and creaking, startled Lin Jinyan. She turned her head to see the speaker: an elderly woman, perhaps seventy or eighty years old, with snow-white hair.

In an instant, Lin Jinran seemed to see a savior and stumbled to the old man's face, "Elderly sir, do you have a phone"

The old woman looked at Lin Jinran and shook her head, "This one, no, what's wrong"

Lin Jinran showed a disappointed expression. Without a phone, she still couldn't contact Mu Shaocheng.

The old man continued, "My house is nearby. Why don't you come to my place first and sit down My son has a phone."

Lin Jinran originally wanted to refuse, she wanted to go somewhere else to try her luck. As she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she saw a Rolls-Royce passing by in the distance, and her heart skipped a beat.

Okay, I'll go to your house first.

"Come with me, come with me, my house is very close." The old man beckoned Lin Jinran towards the depths of the alley.

Lin Jinran worried and glanced back, but the Rolls-Royce was gone. Suddenly, she felt like that car might have held Ye Xiao, and she needed to find a place to hide.

In an old man's house, on the attic floor of a narrow lane, one passed through creaking stairs and entered a dim room.

The old woman, seeing that Lin Jinran’s suit was too wide and ill-fitting, went out and found some more modest, understated clothes for him to change into.

Seeing those clothes, Lin Jinran was so touched that she didn't know what to say. She kept saying thank you several times.

Holding her clothes, she entered the bathroom and changed into a woman's attire.

The loose clothes enveloped her slender frame, making her appear even more frail.

The old woman held Lin Jinran's discarded men's suit in her arms, placed a steaming cup of milk in his hand, and said, "I'll just throw away these men's clothes. I poured you some milk just now, drink it."

"Thank you," Lin Jinran gratefully took the milk, the temperature of the glass just warming her cold hands.

"You rest here for a while. My son is probably coming back in a bit. Let me just throw these away first." The old man slowly walked towards the door and shut it behind him.

Inside a simple, but weather-proof house, Lin Jinran had no more demands. All she hoped for was the old man's son to return and be able to contact Mu Shaocheng by phone.

She lowered her gaze to the milk in her hand, her heart feeling warm. If it weren't for this kind old woman, she might have been truly unable to escape the night owl's pursuit.

Raising her hand, she carefully took a sip of the warm milk, warming her body.

After taking a sip, Lin Jinran placed the cup on the table and waited anxiously for the old man to return. However, she felt increasingly dizzy.

How cometer than his brain and blurted out the words. As soon as he spoke, he regretted it. What if what he said embarrassed Chu Xin and made her leave What if she leftHe hadn't expected Chu Xin to have even...
