However, before she could react, she heard urgent shouts from behind: "Quick...quick, catch the thief! Catch the thief..."

Lin Jin turned her head and saw a middle-aged woman running and shouting, panting heavily, obviously chasing after the person who had almost bumped into her.

Without a word, Lin Jin gave chase. After two blocks, he cornered the thief in a dead end. The thief turned around and saw it was a young girl! He grinned disdainfully, "You think you can catch me, a mere girl?" With that, he drew a dagger from his waist and lunged at Lin Jin menacingly. Lin Jin was prepared. She dodged to the side and simultaneously kicked the thief's wrist, sending the dagger crashing to the ground. Enraged, the thief lunged again, but Lin Jin nimbly evaded her, then spun around, locking the thief's neck in a tight grip and pinning him against the wall. The thief struggled a few times, but finding himself unable to break free, he gave up. At that moment, the middle-aged woman arrived, panting. Seeing the thief subdued, she was moved to tears. She gripped Lin Jin's hand tightly, thanking her repeatedly, "Young lady, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I would have lost all my money." Lin Jin smiled and said, "Auntie, it's what I should do. Please be careful when you go out in the future and take good care of your belongings." The middle-aged woman nodded repeatedly, taking out some money from her pocket to thank Lin Jin, but Lin Jin firmly declined. Afterwards, Lin Jin and the middle-aged woman together turned the thief over to the police station!

After leaving the police station, Lin Jin intended to continue looking for a house, but the aunt who had been robbed enthusiastically grabbed Lin Jin and insisted on taking her to buy some good food. Along the way, the aunt introduced herself incessantly: "Little girl, my name is Li Yanjun, and I am the women's director of Qianjin Street. You can call me Aunt Li."

When Lin Jin heard that the aunt was the women's director of the neighborhood, her eyes lit up. She quickly said, "Aunt Li, hello! My name is Lin Jin, and I'm here to attend university!"

Upon hearing that Lin Jin was a college student, Li Yanjun immediately felt a surge of affection for her. With a beaming smile, she said, "Oh my! You're a college student! That's so wonderful! How about I call you Xiao Jin? School hasn't started yet! You're not from around here, are you? Why are you here so early? Do you have a place to stay?"

Lin Jin smiled and patiently answered each of her questions without the slightest impatience. When she heard that Lin Jin was staying at a hotel, a look of worry appeared on her face, and she hurriedly said, "Hotels aren't very safe. Why don't you stay at my place? My place is spacious."

Lin Jin quickly waved her hand and replied with a smile, "How could I do that, Aunt Li? How could I disturb you at your home?"

However, Lin Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something. She quickly asked, "Aunt Li, do you know if there are any houses for rent around here?"

Aunt Li looked at Lin Jin and said hesitantly, "You want to rent a place to live by yourself? But it's really not safe for a young girl like you to live alone."

Lin Jin didn't take it to heart and said firmly, "Aunt Li, don't worry, I've always lived alone and I'm used to it."

Li Yanjun thought for a moment, then said, "Well, I do know a few families who want to rent out their houses, but they're all renting the whole house. Look around here, there are courtyard houses everywhere. It would be a waste for you to live here alone!"

Lin Jin quickly replied, "It's alright, Aunt Li, could you please go and ask for me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yanjun immediately smiled and said, "Oh! Look at you, being so polite with me! Leave this to me! Come on, let's go ask right now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yanjun warmly took Lin Jin's hand and strode out.

Lin Jin couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This Aunt Li is such a kind-hearted person!"
