The Eldest Sister Has Space Chapter 26: The Youth

This person gave her a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu.

Gu Yundong furrowed her brows slightly, then suddenly realized. Yes, this person was very much like herself in the apocalypse, indifferent to everything, as if there was nothing in the world that could move her, living day by day with a sense of indifference.

But that was because her survival in the apocalypse made it difficult for people to see hope. What about this man in front of her?

Before she could think too much, the constable who had been kicked had already drawn his sword and was about to strike the man down.

The cold gleam of the blade made the little girl in Gu Yundong’s arms hug her neck tightly, burying her head in her chest.

Seeing this, Nie Cheng, thinking she was afraid, immediately spoke up to stop it. “Stop.”

The constable stopped in his tracks, turned around, and saw him. He hurriedly stepped forward with a flattering smile. “Young Master Nie, it’s you.”

“What are you doing? Brandishing swords and causing trouble right at the entrance of the yamen, what kind of behavior is that?”

The constable immediately explained indignantly, “Ah, Young Master Nie, it’s not that I wanted to make a move. It’s just that this person has committed a serious crime and resisted arrest. Just now, he even dared to kick me.”

“What did he do?”

“Someone came to report that this person is the ringleader of the rioting refugees in Qing’an Prefecture. We brought him back for questioning.”

Nie Cheng was stunned. There had been a riot in Qing’an Prefecture recently. Zhao, the commanding officer, led troops to suppress it, but it was said that the ringleader who broke into the local yamen and killed the prefect hadn’t been caught, and he might have fled to the nearby prefectural city. Recently, their Xuanhe Prefecture had also been on high alert, patrolling day and night, afraid of this person causing trouble here.

However, according to what he knew, the ringleader was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, while the person in front of him looked like a teenager.

Sure enough, the youth denied expressionlessly, “It’s not me!”

The constable sneered, “Not you? Take a look at the portrait on this wanted poster. This is you.”

He held up a piece of paper with a portrait on it, almost thrusting it into the young man’s face.

Nie Cheng also took a look and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Gu Yundong glanced at it and couldn’t help but twitch her mouth a few times.

Wasn’t this too abstract for a portrait of a person? There was no way they could catch the culprit with this kind of wanted poster.

But even if the portrait was too “lifelike,” there was still a huge difference between it and the young man in front of them.

These two constables were obviously lying through their teeth. They just had a grudge against the youth.

Gu Yundong knew that many of the current constables were making a living by extortion and blackmail, but it was still disheartening to see them so blatantly dishonest.

Nie Cheng’s brows furrowed as well. He glanced at the youth and then threw the wanted poster at the constable’s face. “How does it look like him? Let the person go quickly. If you keep randomly arresting people like this, won’t you be letting the real culprit go?”

The constable looked somewhat unwilling. “But we received a report…”

“Who do you believe in when someone reports a case? I think the one who should be arrested is the one who reported the case, brazenly lying with a wanted poster. Coming to the yamen to make false reports and waste time is despicable. Let the person go quickly.”

Nie Cheng’s identity obviously made the two constables wary. After exchanging a glance, they reluctantly untied the rope from the young man’s body. “Go, go, go, get out of here quickly.”

The youth pursed his lips, glanced at Nie Cheng, then turned and walked away.

From start to finish, he hardly said a word, and in the end, he didn’t even say thank you.
