435 Alchemist?
The police officers were obviously here just to frame him, which was not difficult at all since they did such things all the time.
The reason why the Yamen wanted to arrest Yuchi right now was that they had no way of doing anything to Yue Hanjiang.
When Yue Hanjiang had killed the person-in-charge of the police station, no one had noticed anything at first. However, Yue Hanjiang’s cell had been sealed off from the inside using her Dao aura.
In other words…
There was no way to open the door of the jail unless their strength surpassed the Dao heart realm, or more specifically Yue Hanjiang’s cultivation level. Only then would they be qualified to enter.
Had it been in the outside world, they would have automatically come to the conclusion that Yue Hanjiang was a powerful cultivator. However, cultivation did not exist in the Alchemist Valley, and the Heavenly Dao was a completely foreign concept. Thus, it was understandable that their thinking did not gravitate in this direction.
As such, the family head of the major family had come looking for her personally, wanting to drag her out of jail himself. However, after countless attempts, he could only stand outside the prison, cursing and swearing.
Furthermore, his voice had been blocked by her Dao aura. No matter how much he cursed, Hanjiang would not be bothered by it at all.
Under such circumstances, Yuchi was brought up. They still knew that Yue Hanjiang had an older brother. Thus, if this older brother of hers was brought over here, would she not be forced to submit obediently?
As for what crimes this brother of hers had committed? Who cared? They could come up with countless crimes to pin on him if necessary. This was simply business as usual for the police station.
However, Si Yuming was the heir of a major family and was a third-level alchemist herself. She was not someone the police officers could afford to offend.
As the officers were beating around the bush, Si Yuming roughly guessed what they were trying to do, so she decisively told them, “Although I don’t know what the actual situation is, the alchemist beside me would never do such a thing. I think there must be some misunderstanding here, and it’s best to clear it up.”
“Of course.”
“If a distinguished alchemist is framed due to the inner workings of the police station…”
“Then I’ll report this matter directly to the higher-ups, and at that time, everyone involved in this matter will be thoroughly investigated.”
“I just hope that you can still smile when that happens.”
Si Yuming’s words were very harsh.
She was very, very unhappy now after being interrupted before her goal of finding out Yuchi’s identity was achieved.
Furthermore, this was too absurd. Someone like Yuchi would never have committed a crime that a mere police station could get involved in.
After hearing Si Yuming’s words, the officers turned red.
They had not expected Yuchi to have such a relationship with Si Yuming, to the extent that she would even stand up for him.
However, the matters of the higher-ups were also the matters of the higher-ups. If they did not follow the orders given to them, they would be punished cruelly anyway.
They looked at each other, and then one of the officers said to Yuchi, “”We’re just errand boys. As for the actual situation, we’re not too sure about it.”
“Please come back with us. If there’s any misunderstanding, we’ll definitely apologize to you sincerely.”
The officers were no longer overbearing and arrogant. Their words now contained a hint of pleading.
Si Yuming was about to say something, but Yuchi had already walked in the direction of the police station.
Yuchi had thought that this matter was done and dusted, but since the problem had resurfaced, he would deal with it once and for all.
Si Yuming glared at the people from the police station. Then, she quickly followed behind Yuchi. The officers who were left behind looked at each other with apprehension.
Who was this person?
According to their investigation, this person should not have had any sort of special identity, and should have been an ordinary citizen.
However, Si Yuming had clearly called him an alchemist, and even a first-level alchemist would normally be treated with respect.
How did they miss this out?

Furthermore, in order to become an alchemist, one needed wealth and influence. In that case, Yuchi’s special identity should have been detected during their investigation. Yuchi also did not seem to look, or behave like an alchemist.
What had gone wrong here?
