Chapter 3781: Chase, Don’t Let Them Run Away
Old Madam Xie felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Goosebumps appeared on her body. What was Qiao Nian doing here? Could it be that she knew something?

5:30 A.M.
The first rays of dawn shone in the town, and the sky grew bright.
In a dilapidated building, a bearded man in shabby clothes opened the door and peeked out.
After not seeing anyone, he quietly made way and said to the old man and the boy behind him, “I’ve looked. There’s no one outside. You can come out now.”
After a while, a thin old man and a six- or seven-year-old little boy stepped forward. The old man held the little boy’s hand and thanked the man. “Ryan, thank you. I’ve troubled you these two days. If it weren’t for you…”
The bearded man supported him and vaguely said, “Old Mi, don’t thank me. I should be thanking you. If it weren’t for the Nance Alliance helping our village back then, I wouldn’t have survived until now.”
“Grandpa, let’s go.” The little boy seemed anxious as he tugged at the old man’s clothes.
The old man ruffled his hair and comforted him gently. “Be good, wait a little longer. Grandpa will be done talking to Uncle in a moment.”
The man called Ryan looked at him and then at the pouting child. He rubbed his eyebrows and finally persuaded, “Old Mi, I shouldn’t be saying too much, but you’re my benefactor, so I still want to remind you. This news came too suddenly. I’m afraid this is a trap…”
“I know, thank you.” The old man rubbed the little boy’s head again and looked up at him with a helpless expression.
He had been hiding all these years, so how could he not know how ‘fake’ the news of the so-called adoptive mother wanting to see them was? However, the child insisted on seeing his mother.
There was nothing he could do.
Michel said in a low voice, “I’ve been hiding for so many years. At most, I’ll just give them my life.”

The small forest was not far from town. The further they walked, the more desolate it became.
There were no pedestrians at this time, and the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.
“Grandpa, where do you think Mom will be waiting for us?”
“Didn’t she say the grove?”
“Grandpa, can we find Mom?”
Silence.
As they walked into the forest, it grew abnormally quiet.
The old man’s heart sank. Not in the mood to comfort the child, he looked around vigilantly and grabbed the little boy firmly.
What would come would come.
Just as they completely stepped into the forest, they heard a series of giggles and approaching footsteps.
The old man’s expression changed drastically. He grabbed his grandson’s hand and shouted instinctively, “Run!”
He grabbed his grandson and ran.
The forest was interspersed with all kinds of winding paths. The terrain was very complicated.
The old man was obviously familiar with this terrain. He threw down a smoke bomb and dodged the first wave of pursuit. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared with the child.
“F*ck, they got away!”
“Cough cough, this old man even brought a smoke bomb with him!”
Old Madam Xie was the angriest. She immediately shouted, “What are you waiting for? Chase them!”
After the thick smoke dissipated a little, the group immediately split into three and went in three different directions. They were determined to catch them.
