When Shen Chengyao saw the officers approaching them, his heart was pounding! Although his words and deeds were righteous and proper, his previous experience of being jailed had left a shadow over him.

He continued to walk forward as if nothing was wrong, but his involuntary protective action of shielding the children behind him betrayed his nervousness and worry.

The group curiously looked back, wondering where these officers were going and what they were doing in the village.

After a thought, Shen Chengyao told the children, "Go home first, I will see where these officers are going."
