Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 513

Xinyan immediately recognized the teenager being pushed forward.

She frowned slightly, this boy really gets around, how could he appear in the Capital?

Having met the boy twice before, she decided to follow.

She then heard one of the people pushing him say, "Do you think you can mess with our Brother Li and still get away with it?"

The one being pushed was none other than the boy from whom Xinyan had bought a jade bracelet and a stamp album at the black market.

But for some reason, he didn’t stay in East Province and came to the Capital.

And it seemed he had offended someone.

They were barely acquaintances, but considering the future value of the white jade bracelet and stamp album, she couldn’t just ignore it.

She quickened her pace and followed after them.

Just as she was thinking about how to take the boy away, she saw him taking advantage of the moment, pushing away those behind him, and running forward.

The two people behind him stumbled, directly knocking down the person following them, and by the time the three reacted, the boy had already run into the alley ahead.

Xinyan saw that he had gotten away and felt relieved, planning to return to her own small courtyard.

Her application for day school had been approved today, and afterward, she would live in the small courtyard.

She had previously chosen to stay on campus because the house had just been renovated, with some parts freshly painted, wanting to let the smell dissipate, and to experience university dorm life.

Now that Granny Zhang had arrived, the courtyard was free of paint smell, so naturally, she preferred living in the courtyard.

However, she hadn’t canceled her dorm bed, so if it rained or snowed, she would still have a place to rest.

As she turned into the alley, she heard someone shout from behind, "Catch him, let’s see where you can run!"

Xinyan recognized the voice and thought: How did they circle back here?

She looked back and saw the people were only a few hundred meters away, she hurriedly called to the running boy: "Follow me."

Ling Tianze, seeing a girl standing at the alleyway entrance, initially intended to change direction, but didn’t expect the girl to help him.

He ought not to involve others, but thinking if anything happened to him, who would take care of Granny, he silently said "Sorry" and followed the girl into the alley.

At the third courtyard gate, Xinyan pushed open the door, pulled him inside, quickly closed the gate, and locked it.

She gestured for him to stay silent.

Granny Zhang heard the commotion in the yard and came out: "Xinyan, you’re back?"

Seeing the boy in the yard, she was about to ask when Xinyan directly stepped up to cover Granny Zhang’s mouth: "I’ll explain to you soon."

Just after she spoke, there came the sound of footsteps from outside, "Damn it, where’s that kid?"

"I clearly saw him run into the alley?"

"Damn it, how could he disappear, it’s like seeing a ghost."

"Heizi, that kid must be hiding in one of these houses in the alley, should we go check one by one?"

Right after saying this, there was a yelp, "Why hit me?"

"Use your brain, don’t make things worse!"

"Then what do we do, if we can’t find him, how will we report back?"

"You two go make a call, get more guys over, and block this alley off, I don’t believe he can stay hidden forever?

Even if we don’t go in to search for him, he’ll end up being caught as a thief, let’s see who can hold out longer?"

"Heizi, you’re clever."

Xinyan and the others in the yard heard this conversation clearly.

Granny Zhang now understood the situation and whispered to Xinyan, "What should we do now?"

Xinyan signaled her to speak inside, originally intending to quietly help him and then find a way to send him out, but since Granny Zhang now saw him, there was no need to hide it any longer.

The three of them entered the living room, Xinyan, to be cautious, drew the curtains, calmed Granny Zhang, then looked at the boy, "Who are you?"

Ling Tianze felt Xinyan seemed familiar, but after thinking hard, he couldn’t recall, and when Xinyan asked, he replied, "I’m Ling Tianze, I unintentionally offended them before."

Granny Zhang saw the child’s cautious words, now calmed herself, realizing they wouldn’t come into the yard looking for people, stood up and said, "I’ll go prepare the meal."

After Granny Zhang left, Ling Tianze considered carefully and said, "Thank you for saving me.

Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person, it was really an accident that I ruined their plans, but I’ve never regretted it because their actions were heinous, I’ll quickly find a way to leave and won’t drag you down."

Xinyan thought he probably wasn’t lying and asked, "Why not call the police?"

Ling Tianze frowned, "I basically have no chance, and no evidence, afraid it would be useless to report."
