Chapter 137 - Chapter 137: Encounter with a Spying Team Member, The Criminal Investigation Department Is Here... (2/2)

“Either a chicken is stolen today, or a car is stolen tomorrow…”

“We even have cases of stalking!”

“When will the security in our area improve?”

“Do you know there’s a major operation going on now?”

As soon as he walked in, Su Xuan heard Old Mai’s booming voice echoing throughout the entire lobby. His colleagues stood in the hall, heads hanging low, like a group of defeated chickens.

They exuded an air of despair.

Su Xuan’s movements momentarily stalled as he felt a sudden reluctance to approach. But his hesitation didn’t last long.

Although Old Mai had his back to him, he soon noticed Su Xuan’s presence, facing his colleagues.

Actually, ever since Su Xuan was temporarily transferred, Old Mai’s mood had been quite sour. Moreover, after the major operation, the criminals in their area had become even bolder.

Yesterday, they got two reports in a row, with people saying their stuff got stolen.

This morning, after dealing with yesterday’s reports, Old Mai lost his temper. That’s when this tirade began.

With Su Xuan’s brilliance in the past, they found it hard to replicate the success they had when he was still around.

“I’m talking to you!”

Old Mai noticed that one of his subordinates was daydreaming and realized he had been talking for a while without getting a response. In frustration, he threw his pen across the room.

“I’m talking to you, and where are you looking?”

“Weren’t I in your patrol area yesterday…”

Old Mai, while speaking, turned his head to check for himself. He wanted to know what had this guy so engrossed.

To his surprise, he saw Su Xuan.

Old Mai:…?

“Su Xuan?”

“Why did you come over today?”

“Weren’t you in the city?”

With his capable deputy around, Old Mai didn’t care about the disobedient ones and immediately walked over to Su Xuan.

“At the bureau…”

“I had some free time today and thought I’d come back to tidy up.”

“I happened to pass by the station, so I thought I’d drop in.”

Saying this, Su Xuan offered some of the milk tea he was holding.

“Guys, it’s been a while since we met. Let me treat you to some milk tea!”

Lately, they had been working tirelessly, and the police officers hadn’t had much to eat or drink. When they saw the milk tea in Su Xuan’s hand, their eyes practically turned green.

They looked at Old Mai with hope.

Old Mai, despite his earlier irritation, couldn’t help but feel for his subordinates. When he saw them gazing at him expectantly, he reluctantly said,

“Alright!”

“Don’t act like I’m some stingy boss…”

“If you want some, help yourselves!”

Serving not too long at the station, Su Xuan returned home and tidied up his place.

It had been just about half a month since he had arrived here from his time travel. Despite that, Su Xuan was starting to feel a sense of belonging to this home. However, he didn’t plan to stay long.

After all, he had to continue working at the Anti-Pickpocketing Team tomorrow. Su Xuan finished cleaning and prepared to head back to the city area.

This time, he planned to drive there.

He had often relied on his colleagues’ cars at the Anti-Pickpocketing Team, but since he had the chance, he decided to drive himself.

However, before Su Xuan could set off, his phone rang.

On the other end of the line, Old Mai, with a slightly serious expression, looked at the two men standing in front of him.

“Su Xuan, are you still in the county?”

Su Xuan furrowed his brow slightly.

“Yes, I’m here, Old Mai. Is there something wrong?”

“All!”

Old Mai sighed and said, “There’s actually something I need you to come over for.”

“Some colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Department are here, and they say they need your cooperation for an operation.”

“I don’t have all the details right now, so you’ll have to come over first…”

Su Xuan: ???
