Lin Fan, however, felt fortunate that the other party did not insist on giving a gift and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was a special fate, as when they were heading back, they happened to be on the same bus. As soon as Zhou Liu got on the bus, she saw them and wished she could hide her face.

However, in reality, Lin Fan and the other two did not care at all about Zhou Liu and the mother-son duo.

Zhao Xiu had a great impression of Lin Fan and said, “It seems like we have quite a connection. My name is Zhao Xiu. Just call me sister-in-law!”

Lin Fan smiled and replied to Zhao Xiu, “Yes, Sister-in-law Zhao Xiu, are you also going to the outskirts?”

“Yes, our home is over there. Why don’t you come over sometime?” Zhao Xiu warmly invited. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she frowned. “Wait, no, I should come to your place another day to thank you for saving my son. We should visit each other often in the future!”

Lin Fan glanced ahead, nodded, and agreed with a smile, “Sure!”

She hadn’t seen Zhao Xiu in the military compound. The other woman probably just happened to be on the same route as her. The Original Owner had a bad reputation outside, so Lin Fan could use this opportunity to meet more people and salvage her image.

While the conversation was lively, Zhou Liu looked on with envy and could not help but sneer.

Zhao Xiu and Lin Fan rolled their eyes simultaneously.

Zhou Liu felt her heartache even more. She admitted that these 30 minutes on the bus were the most unbearable moments of her life!

Having endured the journey until they got off the bus, Zhou Liu could not wait to run off, as if someone was chasing her from behind.

The three remaining individuals found this quite amusing. After exchanging a few words, they dispersed near the car.

“Madam, Commander Yu asked me to pick you up. He said he has urgent matters and won’t be able to make it,” a young man approached Zhao Xiu by the jeep on the roadside, his face filled with apology.

Zhao Xiu’s husband was Commander Yu Yan of the military district, and this young man was Yu Yan’s secretary, Fan Ming.

“He’s busy, so it’s normal for him not to come,” Zhao Xiu replied without a hint of dissatisfaction, preparing to get into the car with her child.

Just as her foot touched the ground, she suddenly realized that Lin Fan had saved her son, but she did not know the savior’s name! Lost in her own introductions, she had forgotten to ask.

However, when she turned around, Lin Fan’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

She slapped her thigh in frustration, then decisively got into the car and said to the young man, “Xiao Ming, we don’t need to rush back now. Do me a favor first.”

“Madam, please tell me,” Fan Ming straightened up.

Zhao Xiu looked around through the car window, momentarily unsure of where to send Fan Ming. She hesitated, “Here’s the thing. When we were buying fabric in the store today, Yuanyuan had an asthma attack, and I forgot to bring his medicine. A kind woman saved him. I think we should repay kindness, right? Help me find out who that person is around here so we can thank her in person!”

Fan Ming glanced around and smiled, “That’s easy. There’s only one military compound nearby. Maybe the person who helped Madam is a family member of one of the soldiers there. I’ll inquire.”

Fan Ming’s thoughts were simple. While waiting for Zhao Xiu and her son, he noticed several people getting off the car simultaneously. He could just ask the security guards at the military compound and find out who was the last person to enter. After all, there would be records.

Unaware of Fan Ming’s intentions, Zhao Xiu was delighted by his response. She could not wait to tell Yu Yan about the good-hearted person outside, doing good deeds without expecting anything in return and without leaving a name. She urged, “Then go quickly.”

Fan Ming immediately ran toward the military compound. After explaining the situation, he checked the records, found the last name, and smiled, “It turns out to be Mrs. Jiang Tao, Deputy Company Commander Jiang’s wife. Thank you!”

At this moment, Fan Ming had no idea he was about to create a comical situation.

Although Zhou Liu was the first to dash out of the car, she did not immediately run into the military compound. Instead, she strolled around a nearby small shop. When she stepped out, she saw Lin Fan and Ning Yan entering the military compound. Zhao Xiu was talking to a man. She observed for a while before recognizing the man as Commander Yu’s secretary.

However, she did not think much of it, assuming that Zhao Xiu and her son were probably relatives of Commander Yu. Without dwelling on it, she straightened her back, pretending nothing had happened, and entered the military compound.
