The streets were bustling, filled with people coming and going.
A large crowd of townspeople had gathered in the middle of the street, craning their necks to get a better look.
Curiosity filled their eyes.
Gossip is a universal phenomenon. Whether in Shen Bai's past life or in this world, everyone loved a bit of juicy news.
The commotion in the center of the street frustrated the constables. The Chief Constable in the lead pushed some of the crowd back.
They were taken aback when they saw Shen Bai.
They were about to step forward and salute, but Shen Bai stopped them with a gesture.
The Chief Constable was a veteran of the bureaucracy and understood Shen Bai's unspoken signal. He nodded quickly before turning his attention to the men carrying the stretcher.
