Besides, she also had her own selfish motives. In a few years, when the winds change, some of the elderly people will return to the city, and then they will become the network of contacts she has built up.

In any case, doing these things was just a piece of cake for her, and in the end, the gains far outweighed the efforts.

Later, she discovered that several elderly people knew Chu Xun. With this connection, she became even more determined.

"No matter the reason, I should thank you."

Even if she wasn't as pure as he thought, even if she had other motives, at least she saved her teacher and his wife's lives.

He understood the teachers' situation better than anyone else; when people are in their most difficult moments, they might really collapse if no one lends a hand.

She warmed the wounded hearts of the elderly, ensuring they had access to medical care and food and clothing.

Li Xiyue glanced at his sincere face, then stepped forward. "I accept your thanks. Please go back."

“Miss Li.” Lu Feng stepped forward to catch up. “My godfather suspects you because of the fact that the grain circulation in Hunan Province is larger than in other provinces. Please be careful, Miss Li.”

Li Xiyue smiled; she had already guessed it.

She stole from Wu Laohu's house without leaving a trace, yet Wu Laohu sent people all the way to investigate her. It's highly likely that he suspected her based on the clues of the theft in the black market of Jiangsu Province, her origin from Jiangsu Province, and the increased grain circulation in Hunan Province after she arrived.

But so what?

The person Qian San'er was dealing with was Li Shadan, who had absolutely no connection to her.

Moreover, Li Shadan has disappeared, and even if they searched the entire Hunan province, they wouldn't find a single clue.

As for her, she left no trace in her actions, and they had no chance of finding any clues about her.

Sending one group of people wouldn't help, even sending ten groups wouldn't make a difference.

If they try to fight back, she's not going to back down either; there's nothing to be afraid of.

However, this Lu Feng is a bit strange.

"Wu Laohu is your godfather. If you tell me about this, it's tantamount to betrayal. Aren't you afraid that Wu Laohu will find out and use you as an example?"

Lu Feng remained calm. "I admire Miss Li and don't want to see anything happen to her. Besides, Miss Li helped my mentor, and I should repay her."

"As for my godfather, I won't say anything, and neither will Miss Li. He won't tell anyone."

Li Xiyue looked at him closely for a while, then smiled.

Her smile, with her bright eyes and white teeth, made even the moonlight pale in comparison.

Even after she left, Lu Feng's emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

The bright moonlight shone on him, as if he were plated with a layer of silver light.

After a long while, he smiled and turned away regretfully.

If only I had met her sooner!

As Li Xiyue walked along the country road, it seemed as if the moonlight was especially kind to her, gathering above her head and illuminating her path.

In the distance, a tall and imposing figure walked towards them.

She has excellent night vision and recognized the other person at a glance. She ran up to him with a smile, "Ah Xun, weren't you not coming back today? Why are you back?"

"I was worried about leaving you alone, so I came back as soon as I was done." Chu Xun took the basket from her back, cupped her small hand in his large one, and asked in a low voice as he walked back, "Did you visit any of the elderly people?"

"Yes, they are all very good in every way, so don't worry."

"With you here, I've always felt at ease."

They walked side by side under the moonlight, their laughter mingling with the chirping of insects, creating a scene of such pleasant and beautiful tranquility.
