Rebirth in the 90s: Pack up and prepare for demolition

Chapter 213: A Thief's Appearance

She didn't say that she knew Liu Mingli, otherwise if Liang Feng's family knew about it, they would definitely use this as an excuse to pester them.

With Ye Rou passing on information, Ye Ke could hear the progress of the story every day.

However, only time has passed, but the case has not progressed.

"Fang Xin" was still not found by the police.

Ye Ke took advantage of his free time to ride his bike to the "welfare home".

Ye Ke knocked on the door gently, but there was no movement from inside.

This isn't right. Even if the dean and the two older children were out, the four younger ones were still there, right? How could no one open the door?

Ye Ke clapped his hands again, not wanting to believe it, and shouted, "Tongtong, are you there? I'm Sister Xiao Ke."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a series of subtle noises coming from inside, and then the door was quietly opened.

Ye Ke stood at the door and looked inside curiously.

Tongtong said to Ye Ke in a low voice with a nervous look on her face: "Sister Xiao Ke, can you please come in?"

Ye Ke was even more confused, but he still did as he was told.

As soon as Ye Ke entered, Tongtong immediately closed the door, and then patted her chest with relief.

Ye Ke asked in confusion: "What's going on? Did something happen?"

Tongtong looked at her innocently, "I don't know!"

Ye Ke: “…” Then why are you acting like a thief?

As if she could see Ye Ke's speechlessness, Tongtong explained, "It was Sister Lele who told me not to open the door to strangers."

It’s best not to make any noise when they are at home. These days, they don’t dare to speak loudly when playing in the yard.

Ye Ke had a hunch that something was amiss. It wasn't that his defensiveness was wrong, but why hadn't he mentioned it before? Why was he suddenly bringing it up now?

Ye Ke asked, "What about them?"

Not sure which one Ye Ke was asking about, Tongtong explained everyone's situation: "The director's grandmother has finished taking her medicine and is resting. Sister Lele and Brother Xiaofeng are out picking vegetables."

It sounds like the same as usual, with no difference. So why did Lele specifically tell Tongtong about it?

And it was Lele who gave the order, not the dean?

Fortunately, Lele came back in time to help Ye Ke solve his doubts.

The moment she saw Ye Ke, Lele smiled in surprise and greeted her sweetly, "Sister Xiao Ke!"

Ye Ke also waved to her. Lele was no longer wearing the shabby boy's clothes, but was wearing a clean and tidy top and pants.

When Lin Shuwan wanted to give clothes as a gift, Ye Ke reminded her to give suitable ones.

It's not about the right size, but the right identity.

As a helpless child, dressing up too much is not a good thing.

So Lin Shuwan prepared exquisite and beautiful princess dresses for the little girls who didn't need to go out, and only prepared one for Lele.

The rest are all simple and elegant clothes.

Ye Ke knew at first glance that this was not Lin Shuwan's style, but he didn't ask any further questions.

These are the clothes Lele is wearing now.

Ye Ke was even more surprised when he saw that Lele came back empty-handed.

"Did you go pick vegetables just now?" Ye Ke asked.

Lele nodded and shook his head, looking a little hesitant.

Ye Ke didn't ask any more questions.

After all, they had only met a few times, so it was normal for Lele to be wary of her.

But he still couldn't help but say, "There are many things that may seem like big things to a child, but can be easily solved by an adult. If you don't trust me, you can tell the dean."

Ye Ke had long seen that Lele was a child with big ideas.

Lele was stunned. She didn't want to tell her grandma. Her grandma was already in very poor health due to her illness this time. She didn't want her grandma to worry about this matter anymore.

But what Sister Xiao Ke said made sense. She had always wanted to solve the problem herself before because she was the oldest in the courtyard and she was the older sister of her younger brothers and sisters.

Lele pursed her lips, thinking about how she stole Ye Ke's car, and how Ye Ke not only didn't blame her, but also gave them a lot of things.

Later, Tongtong said that Ye Ke also brought a friend with him, and that friend was also a kind and beautiful young lady.

Lele nervously grabbed his trouser legs, and when he looked down, he remembered that his entire body was also given by Ye Ke and the others.

Thinking of this, Lele's fear suddenly subsided. Yeah, what was she afraid of? If Ye Ke wanted to trick her, he could have easily tricked them the previous two times.

Lele looked at Ye Ke with a firm gaze, "Sister Xiao Ke, I have something to tell you."

Ye Ke was right. Maybe the problem that worried her to death seemed extremely simple to adults?

Lele brought Ye Ke to the corner and looked at Tongtong and the others who were eager to follow with a warning look, "Don't come over!"

He looked fierce, and the little girls pouted in grievance, but still obeyed and didn't get close.

Lele pulled the corner of Ye Ke's clothes and said, "Sister Xiao Ke, lower your head."

Ye Ke did as he was told and bent down.

Lele put his mouth close to Ye Ke's ear and whispered, "When I went to pick vegetables these two days, I seemed to see human traffickers?"

Ye Ke widened his eyes in shock?

"What does it seem to mean?"

Lele said calmly, "I've seen this human trafficker before, and now I see him and he looks a bit like me, but I'm not sure."

Each word shocked Ye Ke more than the last. Ye Ke couldn't help but squat down and asked, "Have you seen this before?"

Lele nodded and said "hmm".

Ye Ke rubbed his temples. He never knew that this kid was so good at hiding things!

Which child can be so calm when discovering a suspected human trafficker?

"So you didn't go to pick vegetables today?" It was obvious what he went to do.

Lele just nodded honestly.

No matter how well she pretended, Ye Ke didn't think Lele was truly obedient. Ye Ke was so angry that he couldn't help but slap Lele's arm. "She's really grown up! How brave! A little girl actually dared to approach human traffickers alone?!"

Now she finally understood Ye Wenhui's mental state of wanting to deal with her from time to time. She really deserved a beating and was too bold!

Ye Ke said viciously, "Where has your usual cleverness gone? Is this what you're supposed to do? Don't you understand when to call the police and when to call an adult?"

After being beaten and scolded by Ye Ke, Lele was not angry at all. Instead, he grinned.

She knew that Sister Xiao Ke was worried about her.

Lele explained: "I was afraid that I recognized the wrong person and wrongly accused a good person, so I thought of taking a closer look."

Lele had seen cases before where someone called the police but ended up being arrested by them.

She was young and didn't understand the situation at the time. She didn't know that this was the consequence of making a false report to the police.

I just know that if I call the police by mistake, I will still be arrested.

So I had to take the risk and confirm it again.
