Chapter 277 Can't Keep Him

Ever since the incident, he never thought of dragging her down with him. After all, it was he who first exposed the relationship between them and caused her to have a miscarriage.

He felt a little guilty, and he also thought that if Zhao Xinran was released from prison one day, he might still be useful, so when he learned that Zhao Xinpeng took the blame, he didn't say anything.

After all, he had thought about letting Zhao Xinpeng take the blame.

"Zhao Xinran, you'd better not play tricks. Only when I'm safe can you be safe."

Shao Ting'an's gloomy expression made Zhao Xinran a little scared. That was the Shao Ting'an she had never seen before.

Zhao Xinran shuddered suddenly and nodded quickly, "Of course I know. Brother Ting'an, I hope for your well-being more than anyone else."

The night is as dark as ink, so thick that it cannot be dissolved.

Because it is the beginning of autumn, the night wind is slightly cool!

Zhao Xinran dragged his legs, which felt like they were filled with lead, to the gate of his yard, exhausted.

The thrilling brief time she had just had with Shao Ting'an had almost drained all her strength. Now all she had left was the exhaustion of having survived a disaster and an indescribable feeling of stickiness and nausea.

Pushing open the creaking wooden door, in the dim light of the yard, a figure sat alone on a small stool, his back stiff, revealing an ominous silence.

Zhao Xinran's heart sank suddenly, and a bad premonition instantly gripped her.

"Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?"

In private, she still calls her mother, a habit she has maintained for many years.

Although she longed to be a city dweller, some things in her bones seemed to be ingrained in her flesh and could not be changed.

When Liu Cui'e heard the noise, she turned around suddenly and saw that it was Zhao Xinran who hurriedly stood up, grabbed her daughter's wrist, and almost dragged her into the house.

With a "bang", Liu Cui'e locked the door of the main room with her backhand, her movements were so hasty that they were almost neurotic.

There was only a dim light bulb on in the room, and the flickering light made the faces of the mother and daughter look a little gloomy.

"Mom, what's wrong? What happened?" Zhao Xinran was frightened by her mother's appearance and her voice trembled.

Liu Cui'e held her hand tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh, and she lowered her voice to a very low level, as if she was afraid that someone on the other side of the wall might have heard her.

"Xinran, the police came in the evening... in the evening!"

Public Security?!

Zhao Xinran's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

It seems that the police also thought of Shao Tingan coming back to find her.

Liu Cui'e swallowed, her lips trembled, and her face lost all color.

"They said...that Shao Ting'an escaped from prison!"

"Let's be careful recently, he might come looking for us..."

"He also said...he also said that if we see him or have any news about him, we must...must report it to the police station immediately!"

Liu Cui'e's voice became smaller and smaller, and the last few words were almost inaudible, but every word hit Zhao Xinran's heart like a heavy hammer.

The police actually knew about Shao Ting'an's prison break so quickly?!

And... he even found exactly where they were living?!

Zhao Xinran suddenly shook off his mother's hand, took a step back, his eyes full of surprise and doubt.

She and her mother moved here and almost lost contact with their old acquaintances in Pingjiang.

It is impossible for Shao Ting'an's family to know their address.

Su Li?

Could it be Su Li? !

This thought burrowed into her mind like a poisonous snake, making her feel cold all over.

She was almost certain that there would be no second person except Su Li. After all, her freedom made Su Li most uncomfortable!

Zhao Xinran bit her lower lip so hard that it hurt her teeth, and her eyes were filled with resentment.

Liu Cui'e looked at her daughter's ever-changing expression and felt even more frightened.

She grabbed Zhao Xinran's arm and asked anxiously, "Xinran, do you... do you know something? Did Shao Tingan... did he come to see you?"

Zhao Xinran took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

At this point, there is no point in hiding it from my mother, and it might even make things worse.

She nodded, her face as pale as paper, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Mom, he...he found me."

When Liu Cui'e heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning. She swayed and almost collapsed to the ground.

"Wh...when? Where are the people?"

"Just now," Zhao Xinran said with difficulty, supporting her shaky mother, "I... I temporarily placed him in the underground warehouse of the dance hall."

"What? You hid him?" Liu Cui'e's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief and horror. "Xinran! Are you crazy? How dare you?"

She pushed her daughter away, pointed at her nose, and trembled with anger.

"That's a fugitive the police are looking for! Hiding him is a crime of harboring! You'll go to jail!"

"Do you know that Shao Ting'an is a bomb right now? A bomb that can blow us to pieces at any moment!"

Liu Cui'e paced back and forth anxiously in the room, rubbing her hands constantly, her face full of fear and despair.

"It's over... It's over... We finally managed to settle down, and now it's all over..."

"That unlucky guy! Why didn't he just die in prison? Why did he come out and harm us?"

She suddenly stopped and stared at Zhao Xinran, with a fierce look in her eyes.

"No! We can't keep him here! The longer he stays, the more danger we'll be in!"

"Xinran, we must find a solution as soon as possible! Get rid of him! Or... make him get out of here!"

Zhao Xinran knew very well that Shao Tingan was a huge hidden danger.

She is also feeling very nervous now.

But Shao Ting'an has something on her, if he is pushed too far, she will not be able to escape!

"Mom, I also want him to disappear as soon as possible. But since he found me and didn't report me, he definitely won't let it go."

Zhao Xinran lowered his voice and sighed deeply, "It's not easy to get rid of him."

Liu Cui'e had been shrewd her whole life, so how could she not see through it? "This bastard, he's pretending to be crazy and stupid. I'm afraid he's been thinking about it for a long time to control us."

Zhao Xinran sat down dejectedly on the chair, with a frown on his face.

"Xinran, um... Song Jiaxuan, is there any news recently?"

When Song Jiaxuan was mentioned, a glimmer of hope flashed across Zhao Xinran's eyes, but it quickly dimmed.

Song Jiaxuan was a way out she found for herself, but she didn't know whether this man was really reliable.

But at the moment, he still seems to be somewhat responsible and has not dragged her into this.

If Song Jiaxuan could come out as soon as possible, maybe... he could still help her.

She shook her head, her voice filled with fatigue and anxiety.

"No news yet. I don't know the situation."

Liu Cui'e's face suddenly became even uglier.

Zhao Xinran bit her lip, the fear in her heart growing wildly like vines, almost suffocating her.

What she was afraid of now was not only that this madman Shao Tingan might be exposed at any time and drag her into trouble.

What she was more afraid of was another person - Su Li!

The current situation at Pingjiang University is still unknown, and she is always feeling uneasy.
