"As for those few homeowners..."
The police officer was speechless at this point, saying, "They were just blinded by rage and lost control of their minds and bodies."
"Who would believe that reason? It sounds like utter nonsense!" Bi Qiaoan said with a smile, but her tone was unmistakably sarcastic.
Her sarcasm wasn't directed at the police officers who were trying to explain things to them, but at the homeowner who gave the reason.
Old Shen only helped them to avoid being hacked to death, and in return, they turned around and drew their swords at him. It's really quite ridiculous!
The police officer sighed and said, "I understand your concerns, but when we questioned those homeowners separately, we all got the same story. Logically, there's no possibility they could have colluded, so..."
But don't worry, we'll keep following up. If there's any news, Lao Ji can let you know.
Bi Qiaoan wasn't one to hold a grudge, so she nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
“Of course!” the policeman said.
Before Bi Qiaoan could ask anything else, she sensed a disturbance in the space.
She peered inside and found her two little ones had woken up and were crying loudly. Although their cries weren't loud and there weren't many tears, it still broke her heart as a mother.
Shen Yanming noticed her change and quickly asked with his eyes, "Is the baby awake?"
Bi Qiaoan nodded, then sat down in a chair and focused on using her consciousness to examine her son and daughter in the space.
Shen Yanming stepped forward to block the way without showing any emotion, then asked the police officer, "What kind of punishment will be given to these thugs?"
He did this so that others wouldn't notice Bi Qiaoan's difference. Although she looked no different from ordinary people, it seemed quite abrupt that she suddenly became quiet from being an active questioner.
Since that's the case, I'll say something to attract their attention.
Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him.
The police officer paused for a moment, then said, "There will be no death penalty or imprisonment. Although stealing food is a serious crime, humanity has suffered heavy losses since the apocalypse, so they will receive other punishments, such as infrastructure work or farming."
"Isn't that similar to being a contract worker?" Shen Yanming asked.
"It's not quite the same. Labor workers work eight to ten hours a day, receive wages and benefits, have social status, and have rest time."
These people who made mistakes are only allowed eight hours of rest each day, and have to work the rest of the time. They receive no benefits or compensation, and their daily condition is roughly that they won't starve or die from exhaustion. All their output will be used to aid disaster victims.
Although they don't go to jail, their lives are definitely not easy. As for their sentences, they are determined based on the severity of their crimes.
Shen Yanming nodded from time to time, as if he was listening attentively, but his thoughts had already wandered into his spatial dimension.
Although Joan didn't say what was wrong with the babies, it was nothing more than them waking up, crying, needing a diaper change, or being hungry. Regardless of the reason, without their parents by their side, Old Shen, as the father, was quite worried.
Therefore, Shen Yanming didn't pay much attention to the policeman's answer, but he still said absentmindedly, "Hmm, not bad, this punishment is very good!"
Then he chatted with the other person about a few more questions. He only stopped talking and prepared to say goodbye when he felt a small hand tugging at his clothes from behind.
So what did Bi Qiaoan do during this time? Of course, she fed the babies with her consciousness!
She became a little anxious after discovering that her two babies had woken up. But she remained rational and first used her senses to undo the babies' diapers. After checking that they hadn't soiled themselves, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the next thing to consider is how to feed them.
While one could borrow an office from Chi Kangyong or hide in the bathroom before entering the space, the reasons required and the time spent would easily arouse suspicion.
Also, she went out today and was exposed to so many people and sunlight. Even though she was bundled up tightly, I didn't dare to be careless, for fear that it might pose some threat to the baby.
Ultimately, Bi Qiaoan decided to feed her babies formula. This was the first time she had not breastfed since giving birth to them.
She used her consciousness to boil the spiritual spring water, then opened the milk powder can, took out a certain amount and put it into the baby bottle, and then poured in the boiled spiritual spring water.
Shake the bottle consciously to dissolve the milk powder, then put the bottle in cold water to chill it.
It's only because they used good glass; otherwise, with the temperature fluctuating so much, the baby bottle might have exploded.
Once she felt it was about right, Bi Qiaoan reached into her backpack, took out the baby bottle from her storage space, and manually checked its temperature. After confirming it was safe, she fed the two babies.
Because her hand was inside her backpack and she didn't take it out, no one knew what she was doing; they just assumed she was rummaging through something.
When the bottle returned to the space and flew towards the two little ones, the two little ones, who had been crying loudly with their big, bright eyes wide open, instantly stopped crying and looked at the flying bottle with great amazement.
After Bi Qiaoan noticed, she deliberately made the bottle fly twice before feeding it to them. The little ones had an instinct; even though they felt this was different from what they usually ate, they still sucked on the nipple the moment it entered their mouths.
Then they discovered that it tasted surprisingly good, no worse than what they usually ate.
After the two little ones finished their delicious drink, they both let out a satisfied burp. Bi Qiaoan gently patted them with her mind, and the two little ones revealed toothless smiles.
To keep them from feeling lonely, Bi Qiaoan would occasionally touch the little airplanes and bells hanging on the crib with her consciousness, show them some novel gadgets from her space, and even play some soothing music on her phone.
But no matter what, nothing beats hugging and kissing them. Besides, if they poop later, I can change their diapers by hand, but washing their bottoms seems a bit difficult. So I'd better hurry home.
On this point, she and Shen Yanming were in complete agreement. Just as she tugged at her sleeve, she heard her husband, Shen, say, "Alright, this matter is almost settled, so we'll take our leave now. If anything comes up, just tell Kang Yong; he can represent me on my behalf."
The policeman nodded. "Okay, then take care."
Immediately afterwards, Ji Kangyong led several people out of the office.
He knew the couple was worried about their child, so he didn't try to stop them. He just told them not to worry about the harvest on Qingning Mountain, and that he would go and collect it that evening.
Thinking of his injuries, Shen Yanming didn't stand on ceremony with Ji Kangyong. Yu Shui offered to help, but both Shen Yanming and Ji Kangyong politely declined.
Under his puzzled gaze, Shen Yanming explained, "There's not much left. Let Lao Ji finish up. Besides, there's Chen Shunwei too. He's almost finished acquiring his land. He can come over and do a little work, and then this job will be done."
Upon hearing this, Yu Shui did not insist.
After saying goodbye to Ji Kangyong, the group drove back to the guard team.
