"It was like that."
The old woman suddenly understood.
She did not doubt the young man in front of her.
After all, there really was nothing in their home worth coveting.
The old man's expression improved somewhat.
He thought the young man had said that out of consideration for their dignity and the child's reputation.
Otherwise, how could something have coincidentally ended up on someone else after they bumped into each other?
Had his grandson taken this young man's friend's belongings?
Since they were giving them a way out, they would not be so tactless as to refuse it.
He immediately said, "Xiao Hua is inside. I'll take you to him."
The old man turned and strode into the house with brisk efficiency.
He was already thinking about how to educate his grandson after the two young men left.
The child had actually gone so far as to take someone else's belongings. What on earth had he been thinking?
Their family was poor, but poverty did not mean lacking integrity. The child had clearly even said that he would make a lot of money for them in the future...
The old man's brows drew tightly together.
"Then your friend..."
The old woman was somewhat puzzled that the owner of the lost item had not come.
Wasn't what she had lost very important?
These young people had even gone to the trouble of checking the surveillance footage.
She was not very familiar with such things, but surely the surveillance cameras along the road could not be checked so easily?
They had gone to so much trouble to find this place. Logically speaking, shouldn't the person who had lost the item be the one appearing here?
"My friend is a little special."
Xiao Xiao smiled. "Her eyesight isn't very good."
