《Return of the Soldier King》Chapter 20 Gang of Thieves

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 Luckless Mage of Greidwhen Academy
A TOURNAMENT OF SORCERERS… AND THE MISFIT WHO ENTERED IT. Ever since she was a little girl, Lucy Hardtvelt has wanted to attend the same academy of magic her mother had graduated from, as well as compete in the same, famous Sorcerers Tournament hosted there every year. And finally, after having her application accepted, Lucy is jubilant to begin her first year at the prestigious Greidwhen Academy for Mages. Unfortunately, Lucy soon finds that, unlike her mother, she herself has little to no aptitude in the magical arts—struggling to keep even the most basic of spells from blowing up in her face. Now, having been given a harsh dose of reality, Lucy must find out if she has what it takes not only to survive at Greidwhen, but also the Sorcerer’s Tournament and its one-thousand contestants where the winner will be given the title of Champion Sorcerer, as well as the right to challenge the Celestial Mages—who are known to have been defeated only a handful of times…

8 74Emancipation - An Isekai Story
When they tell you 'a hero was summoned'. Do they expound on what it takes to truly be moved? Does it make sense to rip a hole within reality into another dimension, to a planet billions of galaxies away, and accurately transport a single person(s)? No, well truth be told, it takes a whole lot to summon anyone so far away, maybe it might take an attempt in summoning of a Dark God, to transport him. Then again they never tell you about what it means to travel between Dark Matter. Or what horrors exist there. Cover by Red Bluebery! I am a new writer, I am trying to find my style of writing. So please have patience. If you see any grammatical errors let me know and I will work to fix them. If you have any criticism please Pm me. or leave a detailed review, not just a single star! Hope we have fun with this.

Rohan lived the easy life of a noble with comfort at the end of his fingertips. He was grateful and all, but he was missing that little excitement that he yearned. Fortunately for him, the dungeons came. Monsters? Check. Game-like stats? Check. Abilities like in those RPG-games? Check. Loots? Check. It was was more than he asked for and yet, trouble was brewing. Nocturns from the East, and greedy Lords and nobles in the continent. Multiple sparks were going off and a calm stable future was slowly fading away. But that wasn't the worse thing. Shit. I mess up didn't I? [Congratulation. You have obtained a new class.] [User is now a Slavemancer.]
