"Auntie, run—"
When they reached the corner where there was no one, Li Jinfeng shouted at the woman, and she ran away.
Li Jinfeng was not willing to fall behind and ran in the opposite direction of the woman.
The man immediately reacted upon seeing this and chased after Li Jinfeng, shouting, "Stop... Stop right there..."
Li Jinfeng felt relieved when she saw the man chasing her. If he was chasing that woman and didn't catch her, it would be fine. But if he did catch her, she might confess directly.
Maybe I would drag her into this, and now this is the best outcome.
Li Jinfeng ran breathlessly while putting the things in the cloth bag into the space.
Without the stuff, I suddenly felt empty and ran much faster.
But her luck was not very good. She accidentally ran into an alley, which turned out to be a dead end. There was no way forward unless she could climb over the courtyard wall. However, she could not climb over this two-meter-high wall even when she was in good health in her previous life, let alone now when she was so skinny.
The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer, and she could almost feel the person entering the alley.
Li Jinfeng was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She squatted down and picked up a brick from the ground. If she was alone, she...
Li Jinfeng felt that the person behind her was less than half a meter away from her. Suddenly, she stood up, raised a brick, and threw it at the person.
But before the brick could hit anyone, it was snatched away.
"It's me!" Lu Jianguo's deep and familiar voice sounded. Li Jinfeng was completely stunned when she saw him.
"Comrade Lu..."
"Now is not the time to talk. People will catch up with us soon. I will take you away!" Lu Jianguo said, reaching out and pulling Li Jinfeng into his arms.
Li Jinfeng was completely stunned. Lu Jianguo held her in his arms and jumped lightly onto the wall easily. Then he jumped down from the wall and landed steadily in the yard on the other side of the wall.
At the same time, in the alley, the man who was caught doing business at the night market was also chased into the alley.
He looked at the deserted alley with a puzzled expression on his face.
"How come there's no one here? I clearly saw someone coming towards this alley."
The sound passed through the wall and reached Li Jinfeng's ears. She trembled and her face turned pale.
Lu Jianguo made a gesture to her to keep quiet, staring at the wall without blinking. As long as someone on the other side of the wall climbed up to check, he would immediately pick up Li Jinfeng and run away.
With him around, there was absolutely no way that man could catch up.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement over there, so the danger probably was over.
Li Jinfeng breathed a sigh of relief. She realized she was still in Lu Jianguo's arms and blushed. "Comrade Lu, you... you put me down."
Lu Jianguo put Li Jinfeng down, stared at her with his dark eyes for a long time, then suddenly turned around and said coldly: "Oh!"
At that moment, Li Jinfeng had an illusion that she might have offended the man in front of her.
It was not until she accidentally glanced at the man's red ears that she realized that Lu Jianguo was not angry, but... shy.
Li Jinfeng smiled sweetly, walked up to Lu Jianguo, and whispered, "Comrade Lu, thank you for what you did just now! By the way, how did you know I was here?"
"Strolling around!" Lu Jianguo held it in for a long time before saying two words.
"Ah? You mean, you met me while just walking around?" Li Jinfeng's face was full of astonishment.
"Yeah!" Lu Jianguo nodded.
"Then I am so lucky!" Li Jinfeng said with a smile.
