Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 344 - 343: Idle Bickering

Chapter 344: Chapter 343: Idle Bickering

Su Yuncheng looked at Lin Nianhe, noticing her furrowed brows, as if she was weighing something in her mind.

He reached out to her and ruffled her hair: "Justice isn’t separate from compassion. I can understand that."

After saying this, he clearly felt Lin Nianhe let out a sigh of relief.

He simply offered her another reassurance: "And what I’m in charge of doesn’t involve this kind of thing."

Lin Nianhe pressed her lips together, thinking to herself that it was really for the best; otherwise, he would have to contemplate whether to arrest her or not.

Just as she relaxed, Su Yuncheng suddenly asked: "Are you involved?"

He courteously used a questioning tone.

Lin Nianhe: "..."

Cunning fox!

She propped her cheek with one hand, tilting her head as she counter-questioned: "Do I have a reason to be involved?"

"In theory, you don’t," Su Yuncheng said, "but often I don’t know what you’re thinking, so I can’t make a judgment."

He said this without looking at her, instead gazing at the distant yellowing mountains.

Lin Nianhe observed his profile and asked, "What if I really were involved? Would you arrest me?"

"I already said it’s not my business." Su Yuncheng maintained a neutral expression.

"What if you were forced to arrest me?"

"Just picking a fight with me for fun, are we?"

Su Yuncheng clenched his teeth and finally turned his gaze back to her.

Lin Nianhe was chuckling, without a hint of nervousness, like a spoiled ’little ancestor’ in love.

Su Yuncheng was compelled to think seriously for a moment, then answered: "Then I’d quit my job."

He knew himself; faced with her, he couldn’t possibly utter that one word. So he would choose to quit, to be her accomplice, and then surrender together with her.

Lin Nianhe burst into laughter at this.

She patted Su Yuncheng’s shoulder and said: "Why so nervous? Think about it logically. I was studying in Beijing, and I’ve only been in the countryside for a few months. According to Zhang Changjiang, I’m Zheng Lirong’s supplier, where would I get so much stuff to sell to her! Not to mention selling things, I even have to buy grain from the Cooperative Society for my own meals."

Her confidence stemmed from the fact that she was a bug.

This wasn’t the era where internet novels were rampant with concepts like spaces and time-traveling.

As long as she didn’t foolishly reveal herself, she was safe.

Su Yuncheng thought it through and had to admit she was right.

He frowned: "If you didn’t do those things, why ask me such a question just now?"

Lin Nianhe looked innocent, reflecting his words back to him: "Just bored, having a bit of a contest for fun."

Su Yuncheng: "..."

He really needed to have a serious talk with her about what should be said and shouldn’t be said, what can be done and can’t be done.

Before he could open his mouth, he saw Lin Nianhe’s eyes reddening on one side, tearfully looking at him: "Brother Yuncheng, it’s good you arrived in time, otherwise I might have died today."

Su Yuncheng: "..."

"Actually, I know I should have hurried down the mountain to call you again, but I overheard them outside saying they would take Shanshan and Niuwa into the mountains to feed them to the tigers... I’m their teacher, I couldn’t just ignore them."

"..."

"If you had arrived a little later, maybe they would have cut off my hand as well, and then thrown me to the tigers... Brother Yuncheng, I’m glad you’re here."

"...!"

"I stabbed Zhang Changjiang, will you guys arrest me?"

"No."

Su Yuncheng said seriously: "You were trying to save people, just like how I injured those men, there won’t be any trouble."

Lin Nianhe was quite easy to console, she burst into smiles upon his words: "Okay, I believe everything you say."

Su Yuncheng: "...!"

Is there anything left to educate?

She was just anxious to save the students.

Su Yuncheng wiped the undried tears from her face, softly saying, "It’s okay now. I’ll talk to Brigade Commander Sun and get you cleared from Bai Bo’s case. This won’t happen again in the future, don’t be afraid."

"Okay!"

"But don’t try to act tough in the future. Protecting students is important, but taking care of yourself is equally important."

"Alright, I’ll remember that."

Watching her lose the stubbornness she showed earlier, Su Yuncheng’s heart melted into a mess.

He sat there without moving, saying, "I need to go back. I’ll handle Zhang Changjiang’s case. As for the kidnapping..."

Lin Nianhe tactfully asked, "Since Bai Bo died, Shanshan has been very quiet. Should I let Niuwa talk to you about it?"

Su Yuncheng thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Forget it, he’s also scared."

"So you’re leaving now?"

"Yeah, time to go back."

As Su Yuncheng spoke of leaving, he still didn’t move.

Lin Nianhe bit her lip and hooked her little finger with his.

She said sensibly, "Go on with your work, I’ll take good care of myself."

Su Yuncheng knew he couldn’t delay any longer, or else he wouldn’t be able to leave.

He uttered a low "Hmm," stood up while holding Lin Nianhe’s hand.

"I’m leaving now, don’t see me out, call me if you need anything."

"Alright."

Lin Nianhe didn’t see him out; she didn’t want to leave the two kids right now.

She always felt that if she took her eyes off them for a second, they’d get into trouble again.

Su Yuncheng rode his bike back to the town center swiftly.

As soon as he entered the police station, Feng Wei came out to greet him, "Brother Cheng, Zhang Changjiang and the others’ injuries are treated, they’re at the health clinic."

"Hmm." Su Yuncheng frowned slightly, a chill in his eyes.

He walked to his desk to get his work notebook.

Feng Wei followed him, continuing, "Zhang Changjiang’s arm is ruined."

"Hmm?"

Su Yuncheng stopped, looking at him skeptically.

Feng Wei sighed, "Sister Lin’s stab was too precise, deep too, the doctor said Zhang Changjiang’s right arm couldn’t recover fully, probably will struggle even with using chopsticks in the future."

Su Yuncheng’s brows almost imperceptibly furrowed, he said while looking at Feng Wei, "That’s indeed very precise."

Feng Wei, fidgeting with his cigarette case, carelessly replied, "Yeah, but that’s what the dog deserves for doing such things, only got himself to blame!"

Su Yuncheng didn’t engage further, asking, "Has Uncle Liu started interrogating him?"

"Not yet, we’ve just come back from the train station," Feng Wei answered, "he’s at the health clinic now, told me to come get you."

Hearing this, Su Yuncheng didn’t even stop for a drink of water, he quickly ran out.

Feng Wei, miserable, followed him running, muttering, "Day after day, this is more tiring than the autumn harvest..."

He clomped down the stairs, the police station’s two-story building shaking.

"Fatty! Stop running! I haven’t finished interrogating the criminal, the building’s going to collapse at this rate!"

Such comments did no harm to Earthquake Comrade Feng, who turned around, pulled a face, and stuck his tongue out at the caller while continuing to run.

Inside a certain interrogation room, the prisoner who had been tough for three days suddenly panicked: "Damn, I just took some extra grain with a few of the boys, no need to bring a tank to blast me! I confess, isn’t that enough?"

That afternoon, the theft case at Lan County Grain Depot was solved. Comrade Feng Wei received a large red merit certificate from the station, inscribed with—

"For the protection of collective property, he ran"
