《Return of the Soldier King》Chapter 20 Gang of Thieves
Advertisement
At that moment, the police arrived, sirens blaring.
Four policemen got off the car and asked the bus driver to explain what happened. Then they arrested the young man with blonde hair and put him in the back of the cruiser.
"Officer, this man is an accomplice to the crime. Why aren’t you arresting him?" An old man pointed to the man in the leather jacket.
"Damn it, what the hell are you talking about? What the hell does this have to do with me? The money was on his body, he stole it, so what are you all looking at me for? How should I know what happened?" the man in the leather jacket protested.
"You are obviously his accomplice! You don't have any excuses!" the female college student shouted.
A police officer – his nametag said ‘Dapeng’ - came over and shut everyone up.
"What's going on? Can you elaborate on that?" he asked the old man. "Did this guy catch the thief?"
Dapeng looked Ye Fei up and down. He had actually heard that there were highly-skilled pickpockets riding the buses in that area before. The police often dealt with this kind of thing, but they never caught the thieves, let alone found the stolen money.
This was the first time the bus pickpockets were caught red-handed.
Officer Dapeng looked at the man in the leather jacket a little coyly, "As the saying goes, ‘catch a thief and you’ll get the stolen money’. Since the stolen money was found on another man... This kind of thing is very difficult to deal with. But since everyone says so, if you have a clear conscience, just follow me to the police station to make a statement."
"I’ll go; I am not afraid." The man in the leather jacket stared at Ye Fei. He held up two fingers and pointed to his own eyes, then at Ye Fei’s.

Officer Dapeng looked at Chu Mo. "The owner of the stolen property must come with us to the police station."
"Officer, I have an emergency, I can’t go to the police station with you right now." Chu Mo looked at her watch. She seemed very anxious to move on.
Another young policeman came over. "An emergency? Everyone here is waiting to go to work; they all have emergencies. You have to go to the police station to leave a statement."
"No, I really have an emergency."
Chu Mo looked very restless. She could only call Officer Dapeng aside and explain her situation in whispers.
"What? That really is an emergency. You are a great woman!"
Officer Dapeng’s expression changed. He saluted Chu Mo, "Professor Chu, there aren’t enough kind people like you in our society. I will personally escort you, and after you finish your thing, you can go to the police station with me to make your statement. What do you think?"
"Well... alright." At a lack for a better option, she could only nod.
As Chu Mo left, she looked back to Ye Fei with endless apology. Now she knew that she had misunderstood Ye Fei. He only wanted to protect her.
However, she didn’t have the time to properly apologize to him just then. In any case, Lin Qingwan was temporarily staying at Purple Apartments, so she intended to apologize to him later.
With this event concluded, the bus started again on its route.
Everyone on the bus looked at Ye Fei with admiration.
An old woman even came and stood beside Ye Fei, whispering to him, "I know you're a good man. I have a granddaughter... She is 24 years old this year, very beautiful. Do you have any interest in meeting her? I promise you’ll like her, just come meet her."

A few other old ladies overheard and began to crowd around Ye Fei, wanting to play matchmaker. Their enthusiasm embarrassed Ye Fei. He struggled to find a good excuse to get rid of them..
The college girl noticed this with a smile. "Hey, that’s my boyfriend. He’s just shy; he doesn’t like to talk."
Then, she grabbed Ye Fei's arm and nestled herself against his chest, making them look like an intimate pair.
A peculiar maiden’s scent rushed into Ye Fei's nostrils, lingering in his nasal cavity. He looked at the girl. She was pure and pleasant, and she coyly stuck her tongue out at him with a wry face. Her cuteness moved Ye Fei’s heart for a moment.
"I see… You two make a cute couple."
The old women did not believe that they were lovers, but it would be impolite to challenge her claim, so they just smiled and left them alone.
At the next station, the girl got off the bus with Ye Fei.
"Hey, my name is Qin Xiaomeng," The girl introduced herself. She pointed to a huge campus further down the street and said, "I am a freshman in the economics department of Shanghai University."
Ye fei scratched his head. "My name is Ye Fei."
The girl looked at her watch and her expression immediately changed. "Ah, I am going to be late for class!” She found a piece of paper and a pen in her bag, scribbled something, and handed the note to Ye Fei. “Here’s my number. If you have time, call me."
Seeing Ye Fei put away the note. The girl smiled at him and ran in the direction of the campus.
Ye Fei thought for a while, looking at the pedestrians around him, then rapidly followed the girl.
There was more than one thief on the bus. According to Ye Fei's observations, it was a gang of at least five pickpockets all working together.
Two men had been arrested by the police, but that still left three thieves unaccounted for.
These three people got off the bus during the chaos and Ye Fei figured they would escape, given the opportunity.
However, when Ye Fei got off the bus with Qin Xiaomeng, he looked around and found the same three men skulking across the street.

# The Gemstone of Ominium 1 - Denial
* Know more about the books and read earlier releases on the official site: http://carpersanti.net/arnae/ * He had to see her again. He didn't know why. He was a grown man now, no longer the lonely child he'd been in the past. And yet the breathtaking need remained the same, and every time he recalled that night the pain of separation was still as strong, still as raw has it had been. He knew it made no sense and yet he couldn't deny it. No matter what others might say he had to meet her. And, deep inside his heart, he childishly hoped she'd be a little bit like him, that she'd be able to truly see and understand him. For what bound could be stronger than blood?She dreamed of death every night and of freedom every morning. From her window she saw herself leave that place, run across the forest and escape the suffocating fate that awaited her. And yet she knew that the chains that bound her were needed and well deserved. For she was all too aware of the dark horror of who she truly was. And so she accepted her fate. Until a promise she couldn't remember being made was fulfilled, and a Prophecy of blood and death never came to pass. And so maybe she could be freed from those chains after all. Maybe there was still hope for her. Maybe she'd be strong enough to deny her true self and simply live.

I will still be writing in the meantime and creating a backlog, but I won't be posting chapters. I apologize for this. I wish there was another way. Note: This story has multiple POVs, but the main one is Jericho. The MC grows and develops throughout the story and isn't instantly OP. I try to write ~1500 words per chapter but I write according to what I feel is suitable. (Could be more. Could be less). The content warning tags are mostly for flexible writing, but do expect it or something of the sort. This is a story suitable for older teens and adults. Schedule: New chapter every other Sunday (sometimes Monday if I'm a bit behind).
