A new deal?
Before arriving at the inn, Lin Chen planned to leave after taking the treasure promised by the old woman, leaving the little girl in the city, as the subsequent matters would have nothing to do with him.
The family behind the little girl was too mysterious for him to want to get deeply involved. After taking the item and leaving, he was not worried about being traced since his identity was false.
But now Lin Chen had changed his mind, not because he wanted to make a deal with the little girl, but because her words piqued his interest.
Throughout this day of escape, the little girl was silent from beginning to end, her calm demeanor was unlike that of an immature child.
Even an ordinary adult man, faced with such a great change, with family sacrificing themselves to buy escape time for him, could not maintain such calm without any emotional fluctuations.
The little girl was smart and emotionally controlled, clearly not expecting him to feel sympathy or pity for her.
