Chapter 8 Are you angry and want to go with me?
In the howling cold wind, the strongest third army of the Saichuan Empire was pointing its weapons at the boss's head.
Number Three's master protection program was activated, and he immediately stood in front of the boss. With a bang, Number Three's head exploded, electronic components scattered all over the floor, and a screw rolled to the boss's feet.
The boss swallowed, but before he could say anything, he saw a path made clear in the middle of the line.
The Duke with black hair and black eyes strode towards him. Duke Mingjue had always been gentle and well-known by the people of Saichuan Empire, but at this moment he was wrapped in terrible anger, and his strong and powerful arms instantly grabbed the boss's neck.
"Where's the child you stole?!"
The feeling of near-death suffocation made the boss's forehead veins bulge and his face flushed. He knew in an instant that Ming Jue was talking about Ming Nuo, but he didn't dare to admit it and denied it desperately, "No, I don't know. What child? I really don't know."
Ming Jue had already thoroughly investigated his background. He laughed in anger, "You didn't know? You took him away from Planet Z-16, and now you tell me you didn't know?!"
The boss rolled his eyes and was almost strangled to death by Ming Jue.
Ming Jue kicked him in the chest with such force that the boss vomited blood on the spot and lay on the ground half-dead.
Ming Jue suppressed his killing intent and waved his hand: "Take him away and keep him alive until he tells you Ming Nuo's whereabouts."
"yes."
Bugson dragged the boss away by his feet.
Overnight, all of the bearded boss's businesses were sealed off. The boss's relatives didn't know what had happened, so they hurriedly tried to use their connections to try to salvage the situation, but no one dared to have anything to do with their family anymore and they were turned away.
…
Sedwick reported the cleanup situation to the officer in charge of the operation, and turned around to find Mingnuo still standing there stupidly.
The white-haired ball had his eyebrows drooped, probably because he was in a bad mood. He pursed his lips tightly, and the flesh on his cheeks was slightly bulging, making him look as round as a glutinous rice ball.
It makes people want to poke it.
Sedwick barely controlled his restless hands and asked calmly, "Are you angry?"
"...I'm not angry." Ming Nuo twisted his fingers sullenly.
He was not stupid. It was good enough that this kind-hearted person saved him. There was no need to spend extra time and effort to consider the feelings of a stranger. But he was a little spoiled by Mingchuan, and he couldn't help feeling wronged.
Sedwick looked at Mingnuo with his cold gray eyes. He seemed completely unaware of how aggrieved his expression was. He was like a little lamb whose fresh grass had been robbed. Facing an overly powerful enemy, he didn't even dare to bleat.
Is it that his words are too hurtful?
Sedwick reflected on what he had said to Mingnuo and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He was too lazy to dwell on it any further. "Come with me."
After saying this, Sedwick turned around and left, but he didn't hear any footsteps behind him for a long time. He turned around and saw Mingnuo still standing there without moving.
Ming Nuo stretched out his hand and felt forward, his clear ice-blue eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment, "Where are you going? I can't see you."
Sedwick: "..."
It’s so troublesome. I suddenly want to give up.
Sedwick took a deep breath, turned back, grabbed Mingnuo's arm, and strode forward with him. Because he walked so fast, Mingnuo had to jog to keep up with him.
"Lift your feet and get in the car."
It was Mingnuo’s first time riding on a hover car. He stroked the soft cushion and felt it was very novel.
Although Ming Nuo was in a high-speed enclosed space, he did not feel any shaking. Even when the hovercraft stopped at its destination, Ming Nuo had to wait for Sedwick's reminder before getting out of the car.
At the police station, the officer on duty today was surprised when he saw Sedwick leading a young man in. He quickly stood up to greet him, "Master Stuart."
The Stewart family is one of the top families in the Perseus Empire. They are the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand, and Marshal Stewart of the military commands the military forces of the entire empire.
As the second son of the family, Sedwick Stewart has been of noble status and loved since childhood.
Sedwick pointed at Mingnuo and said simply, "He was abducted to Ephir. Check his identity information."
The police officer nodded and looked at Ming Nuo. Seeing that Ming Nuo was still young, he spoke much more gently. "Okay, kid, come with me."
Mingnuo grabbed Sedwick's sleeve tightly and refused to let go. He said defensively, "You don't need to check my information. I'll tell you everything."
"My name is Mingnuo. I live on the D-street on the first floor of Z-16. My father just passed away, so I asked my uncle to take care of me. He's probably already at my house. Can you take me home?"
After hearing Mingnuo's words, the police officer looked at Sedwick hesitantly. Seeing that Sedwick had no intention of explaining, he told Mingnuo, "Sorry, kid, Z-16 is not under the jurisdiction of the Perseus Empire. To ensure that you are not a spy, we need to confirm your identity before we can let you go."
Ming Nuo pursed his lips, "How long will that take?"
"Soon, Planet Z-16 will be under the jurisdiction of the Saichuan Empire. As long as your information is in their database, we can ask them to check your information. Once they confirm that you are a legitimate Saichuan citizen, we can let you go back."
It sounded like trouble. Mingnuo let go of Sedwick's clothes and slowly walked towards him in the direction of the police officer's voice.
When the police officer saw that Mingnuo had eye problems, he felt even more pity for him. He grabbed Mingnuo's wrist and took him to the examination room.
Mingnuo's fingerprints were taken, and a needle pricked his finger to draw a drop of blood. The officer then sent him back to sit next to Sedwick. "It will take more than ten minutes. If you are thirsty, there is a water dispenser over there."
"Okay, thank you." Mingnuo thanked the police officer obediently. Listening to the police officer's footsteps walking away, Mingnuo felt around and touched Sedwick's arm with his right hand to make sure he was on his right.
Sedwick leaned back in his chair gloomily and glanced at him.
Ming Nuo took the initiative to speak, "Excuse me, may I know your name? Your name is Stuart, right?"
"...Sedwick Stewart."
"What a long name." Ming Nuo exclaimed, "My name is Ming Nuo, just two characters."
Sedwick didn't seem to care about his name, "Oh."
Mingnuo felt that he was so cold and had suffered setbacks in social interaction. He was worried that talking too much would make Sedwick irritable, so he stopped talking and lowered his head to concentrate on fiddling with his intelligent computer.
Not knowing if the smart brain was broken, it kept showing that it could not connect to the signal source. Ming Nuo was frustrated and kept restarting the smart brain, worried that it was really broken.
He had already lost his knife and lamb bag, and this intelligent computer was the only thing his father left him.
Sedwick didn't hear the chattering around him. He turned his head and saw Mingnuo with his head down, concentrating on tinkering with the intelligent computer. From his perspective, he could see Mingnuo's small and tall nose and his long silver eyelashes.
The soft silver short hair stood up in a tuft at this moment. Sedwick tried to hold it back again and again, but finally reached out and pressed the tuft of hair down.
Ming Nuo was completely focused. When someone touched her hair, she rubbed the other person's palm, looking like a cute and innocent person who was used to being spoiled.
She looks more like a young master than him, Sedwick complained in his heart, and combed Mingnuo's hair so that every hair stayed where it should be.
This looks much more comfortable.
"The results are in." The police officer came out with a stack of documents. He frowned and glanced at Sedwick. "We contacted the people in charge of the population database in Saichuan to search, but they couldn't find any information about the child or his father. Are you sure Mingchuan is really your father?"
Ming Nuo was stuck. He was very sure that his father was not his father, but he didn't dare to say that his father was actually the same person as the emperor's father.
What if his mad brother found out he was still alive and killed him with a knife? Mingnuo cherished his life very much. Facing the police officer's questions, he could only bow his head and remain silent.
The officer looked embarrassed and reminded him, "Without identification, you are an illegal immigrant and cannot board the passenger starship. Once an illegal immigrant stays in the Empire for more than a month, they will be sent to open up a desolate planet."
The police officer saw that Mingnuo was hiding something, so he specifically told Mingnuo the serious consequences.
Ming Nuo's face turned pale when he heard this. He didn't want to go to open up wasteland!
He asked hurriedly, "Can't you just throw me out of the country? My uncle is probably looking for me, and I can find my way home by myself."
The officer looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry, abandoning a minor, whether they are from our country or not, is against humanitarianism. We can't do it, but we can help you contact your uncle."
Afterwards, the police officer went to look for the identity of Ming Nuo's uncle, but the information provided by Ming Nuo was too little. In the end, the only family that could match the identity of the uncle was the famous Ming family in Saichuan.
The police officer was shocked for a moment and looked at Ming Nuo, "Does your uncle have money?"
Ming Nuo thought for a moment and said, "My uncle is very poor."
Okay, let’s exclude the Ming family.
The police officer couldn't help but feel amused. The child was sent by a merchant from the Saichuan Empire. It was impossible that this person was so stupid as to steal the young master of the Duke's family and sell him for money.
There was a younger brother named Mingchuan whose family lived in poverty. There were countless people who matched these two conditions, and the police sent messages to these people to inquire about their situation.
I worked hard for the whole afternoon but still couldn't find my real uncle.
All the "uncles" who were contacted claimed that they had no nephew named Mingnuo. When Uncle No. 57 spoke, Mingnuo felt that the voice was very familiar and should be his uncle.
"Mingchuan is my brother, Mingnuo? I don't know him, don't get involved!"
After saying that, the other party hung up the call.
Huh? Ming Nuo was struck by lightning, tears welling up in his eyes. His uncle didn't want him anymore.
Seeing him crying, the officer lowered his voice and asked, "Is this it?"
"The voice is very similar." Ming Nuo wiped his tears and said, "I, I don't want to look for uncle anymore."
He was born in a poor marginal galaxy. He only had one father at home, who passed away not long ago. Now he was taken to a strange place, and even his only uncle abandoned him.
This series of events made Sedwick unable to help but look at Mingnuo with a sidelong glance.
He was young and had a miserable life.
The police officer sighed and took a piece of paper to wipe Mingnuo's tears.
"Since you have no relatives and no household registration, how about we find a family to adopt you and give you temporary resident status in the Empire? When you come of age, you can transfer your household registration to wherever you want. How about that?"
Mingnuo now had no other choice but to agree with tears in his eyes.
It would take some time to find an adoptive family, and Mingnuo couldn't sleep on the street during that time. Sedwick lowered his eyes and looked at Mingnuo's red face, and asked inexplicably, "Would you like to come back with me?"
This kid's life is really miserable, Sedwick thought. Anyway, there are many spare rooms in his house, so if he is given one, it will definitely be better than the conditions outside.
Ming Nuo's voice was very nasal. "Are you going to adopt me?"
The police officer also cast an expectant look at Sedwick.
This young master only knew powerful families. If he could find a family for this poor child, it would definitely be a hundred times better than what they found.
Sedwick deliberately didn't give Mingnuo a clear answer, "Adopt you? It depends on your performance."
Ming Nuo smiled and wiped his tears, "Yes! I will be good and obedient."
