Chapter 574: Misunderstanding

Just as I arrived at the entrance of the hotel, I ran into Director Hu.

Director Hu saw her about to leave: "Xiao Han, are you going out?"

Xinyan responded: "Yes, I figured since accommodation has been arranged here, there’s no need for me to go back and forth. Since there’s nothing going on this afternoon, I’ll go back and get a few sets of clothes. This way, it will be more convenient for work."

Director Hu showed appreciation all over his face: "Xiao Han, your awareness is really high."

To ensure safety, they had actually investigated Xinyan’s information long ago. They were very clear about Xinyan’s situation.

The two talked as they left the hotel together. Director Hu casually asked: "Which way are you heading?"

Xinyan directly reported the place where the master lived. Actually, Xinyan herself also understood that she had already been investigated clearly by them, so there was no need to deliberately hide it.

Director Hu laughed: "It’s just right, I can give you a lift."

Xinyan politely asked: "Won’t it trouble you?"

Director Hu laughed and waved his hand: "I’ll drop you off at the bus stop, so you can save yourself from squeezing onto the tram."

Xinyan didn’t remain polite: "Thank you."

After getting in the car, Director Hu asked about Xinyan’s coursework. After knowing she was minoring in French, he said: "It seems that you indeed have a talent for languages. You must work hard and strive to learn a few more foreign languages. This way, you won’t have to worry about securing a good job placement in the future."

He wanted to suggest that after graduation, she could come to the Investment Promotion Bureau. However, with this young lady’s abilities, she might not necessarily regard their bureau highly. They could try to recruit her when the time comes.

Xinyan responded neither arrogantly nor subserviently: "Thank you for the encouragement, Director Hu, I will certainly work hard."

After chatting about other things, they soon arrived at the bus transfer stop. Xinyan didn’t want to cause any trouble and proactively said: "I’ll get off here, thank you."

Driver Xiao Chen pulled the car over, and after Xinyan got off, she waved to the car: "Take care, goodbye."

After the car left, the bus came after a short while. Fortunately, there weren’t too many people at this time. After getting on, she noticed a seat in the middle and went over.

What she didn’t expect was that at the next stop, quite a few people got on, and the bus became crowded all at once.

What surprised her even more was that she actually saw Ling Tianze.

However, there were too many people, and she was too embarrassed to call out to him.

She thought she’d greet him when he squeezed to the back later.

With the crowded bus moving along, problems inevitably arose, and occasional complaints like ’stop pushing,’ ’you’re stepping on my foot,’ ’please make way’ could be heard.

At the next stop, a lot of people got off, but a lot of people got on as well. It was still very crowded inside, but Ling Tianze also moved towards the back with the crowd.

Just as Xinyan looked over, ready to greet Ling Tianze, she noticed a sneaky-looking young man next to him reaching into the pocket of the woman in front.

Xinyan instinctively wanted to call out, but Ling Tianze was even faster and directly caught the hand attempting mischief.

He used quite some strength, causing the woman in front to frown and look at her pocket, only to see a hand grasping it. The woman might have misunderstood and directly swung a hand towards Ling Tianze.

Just before the woman acted, someone had also noticed the situation over there. Seeing her action, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.

Xinyan shouted: "Stop."

At the same time, Ling Tianze raised his other hand and directly grasped the woman’s arm.

Someone voiced a rebuke: "You must be out of your mind, Miss. This young man is helping you, so why are you hitting him?"

At this time, the woman also realized what was happening. After seeing the situation clearly, she felt embarrassed: "I’m sorry, I didn’t see clearly just now."

Ling Tianze understood, after all, the pickpocket’s hand was still in her pocket, and his own hand was rightly holding it from the outside. It’s normal to be misunderstood.

Someone shouted towards the front driver: "Driver, there’s a pickpocket on board. This young fellow caught him."

The driver in front heard about catching a pickpocket: "There’s a police station two stops ahead. We’ll drop him there. Everyone, keep an eye on him, and check if you’ve lost anything yourselves."
