Chapter 121: This Officer Is Actually… So Terrifying!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Xuan was certain he had witnessed these two culprits stealing from the lady, prompting him to speak up.
If there had been any doubt, both parties would have had to go to the police station for statements.
However, the two culprits had already admitted their guilt. After all, they were handcuffed. Could they possibly escape at this point?
The man quickly retrieved the stolen wallet from his pants and handed it over to the lady.
The lady, who had initially wanted to test if they were the culprits, saw her wallet in their hands and attacked them verbally.
“You scoundrels!”
“You nearly got me killed!”
“This is my husband’s life-saving money! And you had the audacity to approach me to borrow my phone, only to be thieves…”
The lady grabbed the female culprit’s hair and initiated a scuffle. With her hands cuffed, the female culprit couldn’t defend herself effectively and resorted to screaming for her boyfriend’s assistance.
The three of them became entangled in a brawl. The lady’s mother-in-law also joined the fray, and they gave the culprits a severe beating.
They were livid. This money was essential for their survival. If it weren’t for these two thieves, and the police hadn’t intervened to apprehend them, their son might not have survived.
Some of the lady’s relatives who had accompanied her also expressed their gratitude to Su Xuan, offering him compliments and saying appreciatively, “Thank you so much, Officer!”
“If it weren’t for you, my nephew’s life would have been in danger…”
“You’re a good person!”
“Hong Kong depends on individuals like you…”
“It’s the police who help us apprehend these thieves that make us feel secure!”
“Yeah, thank goodness you caught them, or else…”
“We’re really thankful to you…”
As everyone spoke, Su Xuan stood aside, watching the four people fighting. He could see what they were doing.
Su Xuan smiled but didn’t rush to intervene and help the two culprits. Stealing someone’s life-saving money was really bad. It was okay to let the victims vent their frustration.
Besides, at the moment, he felt a bit “trapped” himself.
After two minutes, when it seemed like the two culprits, despite their handcuffs, were about to fight back due to the relentless attacks from the lady and her mother-in-law, Su Xuan finally made his way through the crowd.
“Alright, alright.”
“Madam, let me see the money.”
“If you’re sure it’s all there, I will take these two suspects away.”
Upon hearing this, the lady stopped her assault. She turned and took out her wallet, carefully counting the money, with her mother-in-law nervously looking on.
Of course, all the money was there.
Once they confirmed the amount, they thanked Su Xuan profusely and even offered him two red bills as a token of gratitude, calling it a “thank-you fee.”
Su Xuan: …While it’s not necessary for you to thank me this way, this is doing more harm than good!
“I’m sorry, but 1 can’t accept this money.”
“Apprehending suspects is my duty, and I’m just doing what I should. Please keep your money.”
Su Xuan promptly refused the offer.
Right as the group was conversing at the stall, the two culprits, who had just been given a thrashing, exchanged glances when they realized that Su Xuan seemed to have no intention of paying attention to them.
A thieving idea sprang to mind.
This corridor was empty and spacious. If they could make a run for it…
With this thought, they immediately lifted their legs.
“Whoosh!”
In the blink of an eye, Su Xuan grabbed the collars of the two culprits. He smiled at the victims who were trying to thank him and even offer him money.
“Sorry, but I have a task to attend to. Please don’t reveal my undercover identity.”
“I have to go now. Goodbye!”
