To recover his memory and life, Xu Keke enters various eras to start a counterattack journey to demand justice for the resentful side characters of era novels.
Rehabilitation is non-existent,...
The policeman called "Horse Team" glanced at the man sitting on the ground, his teeth clenched, and asked with disdain, "What happened to the injury on your face? Did a cat scratch you? Where did you come from?"
“Officer, these past few days, people have been losing things around here. He must be here to steal.” Young Master Chen leaned over again and emphasized this to Captain Ma.
Unexpectedly, this horse team, though young, was very experienced. He shook his head and denied it, saying, "It couldn't be him. With his size, how could he break into someone's house to steal? He would be discovered without even going inside."
"Help me..." the man grabbed the policeman's trouser leg, "I'm in so much pain!"
"It hurts so much, serves you right!" The horse team nodded to Chen Zikang. "We're outnumbered, so have two people from your household send it over."
Four policemen called for fewer people.
Chen Zikang and Chen Qi Shao Ye exchanged a glance, then ordered the servants outside to call over two people to carry the man out.
One of the police officers, who wasn't very tall, followed behind without being told.
"They told us to protect you, but judging by your guts, you don't need us," the horse team leader said to Xu Keke with a grin.
"However, we'll have to trouble you to come again tomorrow. We need to ask you for more details. It's late today, and it's not convenient. Please get some rest."
Just when everyone thought they were about to leave, the horse team asked again, "Who lives next door?"
Chen Miao squeezed in from outside like a startled rabbit, "It's...it's me, but...I wasn't in this room today, I was with my sister..."
"It's alright, don't be afraid. Who are you with?" Ma asked Chen Miao gently.
Chen Miao pointed to Chen Han behind him.
The cavalryman nodded. "Alright!"
Nobody knew what he meant by "the line".
He then turned to Xu Keke and said, "Miss Chen, may I ask who you are sharing a room with? I see you have another bed here."
Xu Keke pointed to Huihui standing by the door, "When that person came in, I was the only one in the room."
Team leader Ma nodded thoughtfully. "Well then, we need to explain this to our superiors first thing tomorrow morning. You, you, and you two, come with us."
Ma Dui raised his finger, first pointing to Huihui, then to Chen Miao and Chen Han, and then to Seventh Young Master Chen and Chen Zikang.
Chen Miao burst into tears, "This has nothing to do with me. She forced me to sleep in her room. It wasn't my choice. It has nothing to do with me."
Her attempt to conceal something was so obvious that it completely terrified Young Master Chen.
Even the seventh young mistress, who was standing outside, couldn't stay still any longer and hurriedly came in with a smile.
"You're from the cavalry, right? My brother is Lü An, and he's with you..."
Ma waved his hand to interrupt her, "I don't know him, and don't tell me about anyone else. Please don't misunderstand, I'm just going back to ask about what happened briefly. I'll have them back in a bit. Once we understand the situation, we can give our superiors an explanation."
"Well, you see, my niece is still too young. Could we please not let her go?" the seventh young mistress said with a smile as she discussed with the horse team leader. She even took out a wad of cash from her pocket and stuffed it into the horse team leader's hand.
"I wouldn't dare, what are you doing? We don't take money." As he said this, Ma Dui glanced at Xu Keke warily and emphasized again, "Really, we never accept bribes."
The seventh young mistress clutched the money in her hand, looking embarrassed. She anxiously looked at the seventh young master Chen, hoping he would say something on her behalf.
The horse team leader also noticed this, and addressed Young Master Chen, saying, "Don't worry, everyone. We're just taking the relevant personnel back for a few questions. After we've quickly gathered information, we'll let them return. Don't worry, it'll be short; they'll be home before dawn."
He wouldn't take Xu Keke back with him. Even if the Chen family realized what he meant, there was nothing they could do.
They could only let him take all five of them away.
