After hearing what Tong Jia said, the pawnshop owner's attitude improved a lot.

He thought for a moment and then said, "If what you said is true, there really is such a school."

"Where is it?" Tong Jia asked excitedly.

Those requirements were thought of by her for her own safety. She thought it would be good to have a compromise location, but she didn't expect that there would actually be one.

The shopkeeper said: "Our young master is studying in the Beijing University District. Of course, it was disbanded at the end of last year, but the previous connections between them and these schools have not been severed.

I heard him mention that when the Beijing University District was still there, Beiyang University was changed into Beijing University Second Institute of Technology.

Although the school is in Tianjin, many teachers are transferred from Beijing.

Although it has been changed back now, the connection between them remains unchanged.

You can go and ask. If you can meet your brother, everyone will be happy.

If you can't find anyone, don't be too persistent.

Little girl, I am older than you and have traveled more than you.

Seeing that you are a good sister, I am telling you something from the bottom of my heart. If you can't find me in Tianjin, then take your brother and go home first.

Your brother is already a grown man, and if he can't find you two, he will find a way to contact your family...

Yes, have you called home to ask if your brother has returned?

The world is in such a mess, and a little girl taking care of a child is like delivering food to others."

Tong Jia said: "We called home, and they said my brother hadn't returned yet. My ID and the paperwork for my brother's departure permit were all with him. If we can't find him, we can't go back either."

"Oh, that's troublesome." Although the shopkeeper warned Tong Jia, they were just a chance acquaintance after all, and he didn't want to waste too much time on Tong Jia.

Just then someone came in to pawn the goods, and the shopkeeper went back to work.

Tong Jia also took Tao Junle away from the pawnshop.

When they came out of the pawnshop, they met the couple who got off the train together and went to stay in the hotel yesterday at the door of the pawnshop. When they turned the corner to look at clothes in the clothing shop, they met another mother and son.

Until the two returned to their hotel room, they did not meet the pair of brothers.

The less she met them, the more Tong Jia felt that those two people were sent by Pan Meiying.

Tong Jia took a piece of paper and wrote on it: [What I said in the Northwest before was basically all lies. What if we let Commander Pan's people go to Beiyang University with us? What if the lies are exposed?]

Although Tao Junle looks only seven or eight years old, he is actually thirteen years old after all, and he was born and raised in this era.

Through the contact over the past few days, Tong Jia felt that she really should not underestimate this child. Many times, it was this child who reminded her that allowed her to notice many different details.

Therefore, she decided that she would not treat him as just a child in the future. When encountering problems, they should discuss it with each other and not let her have the final say alone.

Tao Junle nodded, took the pen from Tong Jia, and wrote: [Well, judging from the way these people walk, it is indeed the pair of brothers who look more trained.

Sister, don't worry. I noticed when we went out just now. They should have left.

"Left? Are you sure?" Since the person who was following him had already left, Tong Jia was not afraid that what he said would be heard by others. Instead of writing, he asked directly.

Tao Junle continued writing: [Before we left, didn't someone go downstairs to wait for you?] I heard one of them making a phone call in the lobby on the first floor. It sounded like there was an emergency. After hanging up the phone, he told the other person to rush back as fast as possible.

Sister, let’s go too.

I always feel uneasy staying here.

Tong Jia thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's stay one more night and go to the train station in Rehe early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he was about to go into the RV to wash up, but was stopped by Tao Junle.

She thought Tao Junle also wanted to get into the RV, or wanted to find something left by his parents.

But she didn't want to take Tao Junle in yet. Just as she was trying to come up with a reason to refuse, she saw Tao Junle pick up the pen again and write: "Sister, we can't wait until tomorrow. I felt this panic when my parents got into trouble before, and I feel it again now, and it's especially strong."

I have a feeling that if we stay here tonight, we won't be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Tong Jia was stunned and hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe Tao Junle.

After putting the luggage and all the papers in the room into the RV, Tong Jia took out the clothes she bought at the clothing store today and left the hotel with Tao Junle in a swagger.

Before leaving, they met the couple again.

The wife was obviously surprised to see the two men leaving. She asked, "It's almost dinner time. Why don't you stay in the hotel? Why are you going out?"

Tong Jia deliberately put on a stern face and said, "I want to, too. It's a pity that the clothing store here is selling inferior goods as good ones and taking advantage of me. I can't let this happen to me. I have to get my money back before they close down."

"Why are you selling inferior goods as good ones? One of our suitcases is missing, and I was planning to go to the clothing store to buy some clothes tomorrow." The wife asked with concern.

Tong Jia said: "When we tried on the clothes, they were still in good condition, so I asked the store staff to pack them up for me.

When I got home and was about to take it out to wash, I realized that this was not the one I tried on in the store, and it was torn in several places.

How can you bully me like this! I am not someone you can easily bully! "

After saying that, he left angrily without even paying attention to Tao Junle.

Tao Junle bowed to the wife and jogged to try to keep up with Tong Jia's pace.

The couple at the door of the hotel looked at each other, one entered the hotel, and the other quickly followed the two people in front.

Tong Jia walked to the door of the clothing store and was about to rush in, but was stopped by Tao Junle who came behind her. The two of them entangled in front of the clothing store for a few minutes, giving others the impression that Tao Junle was stopping Tong Jia from causing trouble.

Although Tao Junle is young, he is still very persistent. He took Tong Jia to the restaurant opposite the clothing store.

We asked for a private room and ordered a lot of things.

The woman who had been following them thought that Tao Junle had used delicious food to persuade Tong Jia, who was about to cause trouble, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

After learning from the waiter that the guests in the private room on the second floor had ordered a meal for twelve people, she also sat down leisurely on the first floor of the restaurant.

But as soon as the first dish she ordered was served, her husband came running over in a panic.

When he saw his wife Zheng holding chopsticks and preparing to eat, he felt that his previous guess must be wrong, and his hurried steps slowed down.

He sat down next to his wife and whispered, "I went to their room, and the luggage was gone. Are you sure they didn't lose me?"

The wife had just picked up the dish when her chopsticks loosened and said, "That's impossible! Maybe you didn't look carefully enough."

We saw them leave with our own eyes, and only that damn girl took one piece of clothing, and other than that, they didn't have any other luggage."

"Don't you know how good I am at finding things? I almost had the floor ripped off." The man said unhappily.

The woman looked up at the second floor, immediately stood up, grabbed the waiter who came to deliver the food, and asked hurriedly, "Are the brother and sister on the second floor still there?"

The waiter said, "Are the young man and young lady who ordered a table of food here? They're still here. Not only are they here, but just now when I went up to serve the food, they gave me a tip and told me to go across the street and ask the tailor to come over. The young lady wanted to discuss something with the tailor."

"Okay, sir, I won't tell you anymore. I took their money and I have to go and do the job for them."

The couple looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched the waiter leave the restaurant and go to the clothing store across the street.

The man said, “No, you go up and confirm it. If it’s really them, I’ll go back and look for them.

That little girl might have a gun in her hand, you can't underestimate her."

The woman nodded and said, "Don't worry. Once I get the key, I'll tear her into pieces and avenge my brother."

This woman was the sister of the rickshaw driver whom Tong Jia had dealt with in the northwest. They had been waiting at the base camp for the rickshaw driver and his group to take Tong Jia and Tao Junle back, but they waited for a long time and no one showed up.

When I heard gunshots and ran out to check the situation, I only saw four bodies and the backs of Tong Jia and the other person leaving.

If Tong Jia had not decisively found an officer to inquire about the situation, she might have been blocked by these two people.

Now these two people are following Tong Jia all the way, one to get the key, and the other to get revenge.

Naturally, she had to keep a close eye on Tong Jia. The woman went straight upstairs, pretending to have accidentally walked into the wrong door, and entered the private room where Tong Jia was.

Tong Jia no longer had the indignation he had at the hotel door before, and the look of him holding his chopsticks and eating with relish made the woman even angrier.

But now is not the time to tear each other apart, the woman pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Ouch, sorry, I went to the wrong room.

I didn't expect that we were really destined to meet. Not to mention the previous bus trip, we later stayed in the same hotel, and today we met three times in one day. No one would believe that we were not destined to meet.

I was worried that you might get into a fight with the people in the clothing store, and I was thinking of going over to take a look.

My husband said that since we didn't hear any noise while eating here, it means everything is fine.

I was just thinking about something when I met you.

Are you guys... entertaining guests? Why are there so many dishes?"

Tong Jia nodded and said, "Yes, we need to entertain guests. These meals may not be enough."

"Since you are entertaining guests, then you..." The woman asked hesitantly, looking at Tong Jia's mouth full of oil.

Tong Jia said, "I'm full now. I'll ask the waiter to take away what I've eaten and bring back new food. Which private room are you in? Has the food been served? Why don't you come and eat with us?"

Just as the woman was about to agree, she saw the waiter and a dozen people coming in one after another, filling the already spacious private room of the restaurant.

When the woman learned that Tong Jia was going to treat all the tailors and their families in the garment shop opposite to dinner, she went downstairs embarrassedly.

He said to the man, "I don't know what she's up to, inviting so many people to dinner at once.

There was no luggage in the private room, so the key should be either with her or in the luggage.

She might have known what the key was for and hidden the luggage."

"Hmph... She's just hiding in the place she went today. You stay downstairs and I'll go around the places she went today and make sure to find the key." The man snorted coldly and strode out of the hotel.

The bunch of keys is quite large, and would be very noticeable if carried with you.

They "accidentally" ran into Tong Jia and Tao Junle several times today, but did not find any signs of keys on either of them, so he instinctively thought that Tong Jia had hidden the key.

As soon as the man left, Tong Jia asked the waiter to send a few dishes to the woman.

Of course, there are added ingredients in the dish.

Forget the fans, no matter what the purpose of these two people is, Tong Jia doesn't want to commit murder again, nor does she want to raise a tiger to harm her because of being soft-hearted.

After much thought, I think forget powder is the most appropriate.

It’s a pity that the man left, leaving the woman to eat the food spiced with forgetfulness powder.

After confirming that the forgetting powder was effective, Tong Jia took Tao Junle and swaggered out of the hotel from in front of the woman.

Of course, they also changed their clothes, and even Tong Jia's hairstyle was cut from long hair to short hair that reached her ears.

Now, unless someone is very familiar with her, it would be difficult to recognize her at once even if they pass by her.

After leaving the hotel, Tong Jia and Tao Junle left Rehe City overnight.

On the very night they left, a fire broke out in the hotel where they had been staying.

The fire started in the room where the two men lived. After it was put out, three charred bodies were carried out of the room.

Among the bodies was that of a man, the husband of the couple. He had searched everywhere he could but couldn't find the crucial key.

Finally, he went back to the room where Tong Jia had lived before to look for it.

But it was no longer Tong Jia who lived here, but the mother and son who had gotten off the train with them.

They really couldn't afford the rent, so they thought Tong Jia and her brother were easy to talk to, so they wanted to move in first. When Tong Jia came back, it would be difficult to kick them out.

The mother and son were sleeping soundly when they were suddenly awakened by the sound of rummaging. They thought it was Tong Jia and her brother who had returned, so they turned on the light to check and saw a man in the room.

The mother and son were so frightened that before they could call for help, the man covered their mouths.

During the struggle, they knocked over the lampstand, and the oil lamp quickly ignited the bedding. None of the three people had time to run away.

The mother and son originally wanted to take advantage, but ended up losing their lives because of it.

Eight people stayed at the hotel, three died, one lost his memory, and four passed away. The most unlucky one was the owner of the hotel, who suffered an unexpected disaster.

But Tong Jia didn't know all this. By the time she learned the news from the newspaper, she and Tao Junle had already used three or four means of transportation to reach Beiyang University.
