Volume 1 Rebirth Return Chapter 4 Encounter with an Old Acquaintance

  Su Rui discreetly sized up Tao Ze Xi, this person didn't seem like someone that Qingmu, a small county town, could raise.

  He stood there, impossible to ignore, with a clean face, sharp and angular features, deep and profound black eyes, dense sword-like eyebrows, high nose bridge, and that seemingly indifferent bad smile.

  Su Rui felt that this person looked familiar, he must have seen him in his past life! It's just unknown whether it was from the grandfather or Wu family side.

  Thinking of the Wu family, Su Rui's eyes revealed a destructive hatred, but it was soon covered up. In an instant, she became that lost and wandering orphan who had just lost her parents again.

  It's interesting, it's really too interesting. Actually, when Su Rui was sizing up Tao Zexi, Tao Zexi had already discovered her, but didn't expose her. Now he is getting more and more curious about Su Rui.

  "Hello, I'm Tao Zexi from Qingmu Police Station. I need to ask you a few questions, can you come with me?" he said to Su Rui.

  Su Rui heard him introduce himself as Tao Zexi, and was taken aback for a moment. Tao Zexi, she finally knew who he was. In his past life, Tao Zexi's father was Tao Jingmin, and Tao Jingmin was also her uncle's university classmate. So it was natural that Tao Jingmin became a member of the Ye family. Every year, he would go to his maternal grandfather's house for New Year's greetings. However, the Su and Ye families were framed by the Wu family, and Tao Jingmin refused the Wu family's offer, demoting from a high-ranking official to an idle position. How could the proud Tao Jingmin accept being in an idle position? The disappointed Tao Jingmin chose to leave the official circle and return to his hometown to live out his days. What position is Tao Jingmin in now? Looking at Tao Zexi, perhaps she can ask for his help.

  For now, she has to rely on this uncle and aunt, and since she wants to live alone, she needs his help. In this life, she will definitely not be raised by that pair of scum.

  Followed by Tao Zexi and another middle-aged policeman to an empty ward. The middle-aged policeman spoke first, "You're Su Rui? Tell me your age and relationship with the deceased. Qingmu Middle School? Your school should have started today, why were you there?"

  "I... I'm Su Rui, Su Pu is my father and Ye Rongrong is my mother. This year I'm 14 years old, in Qingmu Middle School, second grade, today... I fell asleep during class." She pursed her lips and continued to say "I dreamed that my parents passed away, so I ran out, but... but my parents really did pass away... I didn't intentionally dream of my parents passing away... Ah... Dad, Mom, come back! Don't leave Rui behind. Waa... Dad, Mom..." Su Rui successfully disguised herself as a young girl who had just lost her parents, lonely and helpless, with an agitated heart. At least the middle-aged policeman was deceived, but Tao Zexi wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen another side of Su Rui earlier. However, seeing Su Rui's cold eyes when she looked at Li Fu, Tao Zexi knew that she was a lone wolf who knew how to disguise herself, just like the injured lone wolf they encountered during wilderness training, which could easily kill an adult wild boar even when injured.

  Tao Ze Xi went out to get her a glass of water, letting her calm down. After she calmed down, the middle-aged policeman continued, "You are still a minor and your parents have passed away. Is Li Fu your uncle? It seems like we can only let him be your guardian and raise you, otherwise you will have to go to an orphanage."

  Su Rui's face showed horror "No! They are not my relatives, I'm surnamed Su and they're surnamed Li and Wang, how can they be relatives?! I don't want him to raise me! I don't want to! I want to live alone!"

  "Why?" Tao Zexi finally spoke up.

  "Big... Wang Chunhua wants to take our house, she says her son is getting married and needs our house as a new home, but it's clearly our family's! And her son is the same age as me, how can he get married?! Li Fu often comes to our house to steal things, every time my dad just says let's consider it repayment for Li Grandpa's kindness, but then he has the nerve to tell my dad to sell me and have another son! I don't want to go to her house, I'll be bullied, I don't want to be sold! I'd rather live alone!" After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and started crying again.

  Su Rui sneered in her heart, she didn't wrong them. Li Fu spent his days idling around the village, and Wang Chunhua indeed said that she would give her house to her son Li Gou Dan for marriage, but it was a lifetime ago. In her previous life, Li Fu had accepted 500 yuan from the village head of Wangjiacun behind her back, letting her marry the village head's foolish son Wang Dashi, only to be escaped by her.

  "If they weren't your relatives, you'd have to go to an orphanage." The middle-aged armed policeman shook his head helplessly. "You're only 14 years old, how can you live alone without any family?"

  "Who says I have no relatives? The old man at the foot of the mountain behind Lao Shu Village is my relative, he's my master. One day as a teacher, lifelong as a father. If someone needs to support me, I only need him to support me! Don't believe it? You can go ask him!" After finishing speaking, Su Rui felt very anxious. She only knew that there was an eccentric old man living at the foot of the mountain behind their village, who rarely interacted with people in the village. Su Rui had only seen him twice, with white hair and a youthful face, spirited and sharp, with an air about him that didn't seem ordinary.

  The old man lives in a siheyuan. If you ignore the surroundings, you would think that you are in a siheyuan at the foot of Beijing City.
