Lin Fan frowned slightly, these people were obviously chasing the woman. He hesitated for a moment, then quickly moved forward, blocking the way of those people.
"Young Master, get out of the way." A burly man said coldly.
"No." Lin Fan's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable meaning, "If this girl has any faults, I should be the one to ask."
A flash of anger flashed in the big man's eyes: "Who are you? Being nosy will only cause trouble for yourself!"
"Lin Fan," he smiled slightly, "in that case, how about we ask you to go to the government to reason? It's already late at night, and everyone is not in a hurry to go home. We can just wait for the officers and soldiers to arrive."
The few people looked at each other, obviously not expecting to encounter such an opponent. They looked at Lin Fan, then at the woman in the distance, and finally backed away angrily.
Lin Fan turned to look at the woman, with a bit of concern in his eyes: "Is the girl okay?"
The woman raised her head, and the moonlight reflected on her delicate face. Her eyes were beautiful, like two eyes of autumn water, but at the moment they were full of fear and exhaustion. "Thank you for your help, sir." Her voice was very soft, as if she would collapse again at any time.
Lin Fan noticed the jade pendant she was holding tightly in her hand. It was a piece of sapphire with strange patterns carved on it, which seemed to be related to the ancient book he was looking for. His heartbeat speeded up unconsciously.
"Girl, are you willing to be aggrieved for a while? There is an inn here, why not go and rest for a while?"
The woman was stunned for a moment: "Why is the young master so kind to me?"
Lin Fan smiled and did not answer directly. He never liked to explain too much, especially in this situation.
