Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

Chapter 2034 The Title That Cannot Be Changed No Matter Where You Are

That night, Redel, a Standal alien, spent a warm night in the foreign land of Earth.

It's unknown what kind of impact the encounter with the old woman had on Redel's mind.

But when the old woman woke up at daybreak to visit Redell, she found only an empty room and untouched tea and biscuits on the table.

Upon seeing this, the old woman's expression instantly fell.

She didn't say anything, just composed herself and went out.

Meanwhile, on the GUTS team's side, after resting for most of the night, everyone was on high alert and went out to search for another Standelian who was highly likely to exist.

However, in order not to alert the enemy, the GUTS team did not make a big fuss when they moved, which resulted in a somewhat low efficiency in the search.

Therefore, Megumi Kijima has always maintained contact with police departments in various regions. Once a police department receives a report of a kidnapping or similar incident, the GUTS team can immediately pinpoint the approximate area and then conduct a manhunt for the Standel aliens.

However, despite waiting and waiting, I never received any relevant police report information.

Meanwhile, the GUTS team, which had gone out to search for the Stendelians, still found nothing and could only patrol the city aimlessly, hoping to find some clues.

But what was Gu Chen doing at this time?

……

On a bridge spanning a river, an old woman stood by the bridge, carrying heavy plastic bags filled with various foods, staring blankly at the water.

She seemed to be reminiscing about the beautiful times of the past, when she had a loving husband and a lively, adorable child by her side.

But now, her husband has passed away, and the children who used to dote on her have grown up, have their own careers and families to attend to, and haven't visited her in a long time.

For an elderly person, this is undoubtedly a torment called loneliness.

But just as the old woman was staring blankly at the water, reminiscing about the good old days, some very discordant voices rang out from behind her.

"What's the matter? Decide quickly!"

"We're very busy. You need to decide quickly whether to jump or not."

Hearing these cold and malicious words, the old woman was suddenly jolted awake from her fond memories.

Her expression changed slightly, and when she turned around, she saw a young couple with dyed hair and a nonchalant attitude.

At this moment, the old woman was undoubtedly filled with anger.

Just as she was about to express her anger and dissatisfaction to the couple, a figure stood in front of them before her.

Gu Chen looked down at the young couple with a dangerous expression, and said in a deep voice, "Who taught you to talk like that! An old man is just standing here in a daze, what right do you have to tell him what to do?!"

The young couple were clearly startled by Gu Chen's sudden appearance. After hearing his reprimand, they jumped to their feet like mice whose tails had been stepped on, and said in a show of bravado but with a hint of weakness, "Who are you? What right do you have to tell us what to do?!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but sneer, then took out the phone that TPC had given him and said, "I may not be able to control you, but the Minor Offenses Law can!"

"Would you like me to read you the contents of Article 1, Paragraph 13 of the Minor Offenses Act?"

Anyone who threatens or coerces another person without justifiable reason shall be detained or convicted!

"What you just said is blatant psychological coercion!"

"Should we call the police right now and have them take you to a detention room so you can properly explain what you just said?!"

The young couple were clearly frightened upon hearing these words.

Especially since Gu Chen didn't bother to hide his aura at this moment, the imposing presence of a superior instantly shattered the psychological defenses of the young couple.

Immediately, the young couple lost their bravado and couldn't even utter a harsh word. They fled in disarray after Gu Chen's forceful words.

After glancing at the young couple one last time, Gu Chen turned around and looked at the old woman behind him. The sharpness in his expression vanished as he turned, and his demeanor softened instantly.

"Grandma, are you alright?"

"Let's not listen to that nonsense. How about we sit down on the bridge and rest for a bit?"

As he spoke, Gu Chen took the heavy shopping bag from the old woman's hands to lighten her burden.

Hearing Gu Chen's words, the old woman smiled kindly and said, "Good child, thanks to you, otherwise this old woman would have been bullied."

Then, Gu Chen followed the old woman closely and sat down at the head of the bridge.

It was still early, and there was nothing particularly urgent to deal with, so Gu Chen chatted with the old man.

The old woman hadn't chatted with anyone in a long time, so once she started talking, she became quite talkative.

But most of the time, it was the old woman who did the talking, while Gu Chen listened attentively.

The old woman was in high spirits, talking about everything from the past to current interesting events. With Gu Chen's deliberate cooperation, they had a very pleasant conversation.

But as the conversation went on, the content suddenly took a turn for the worse.

The old woman took Gu Chen's hand and asked kindly, "Young man, you look quite old. Are you married yet?"

Upon hearing this question, Gu Chen's smile froze.

Seeing this, the old woman knew the answer to the question she had just asked, and then asked, "Do you have someone you like? Although the economy is not doing well these days, getting married is better than not getting married."

"At least after getting married, you'll have someone to share the risks of life with, and then support each other through the rest of your lives."

"Although I may be a bit out of touch with the times, please don't think I'm nagging. Some of the beautiful things in life are worth experiencing."

The old woman kept nagging about urging Gu Chen to get married, making Gu Chen feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

He glanced at the time, then hurriedly stood up and, taking advantage of the old woman's pause for breath, quickly said, "Grandma, it's getting late. Let me take you home first."

Upon hearing this, the old woman realized what was happening and belatedly said, "Oh dear, it's so late. I'm so sorry to have taken up your time, young man."

"Why don't you come to my house for dinner? Consider it a thank you for standing up for me today."

"Please don't refuse if you can."
