Zhou Qiang quickly arrived at the Anti-Pickpocketing Team with the two criminals.

When Captain Liao saw Zhou Qiang, he was surprised. But when he heard that the criminals had been caught by Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang had helped bring them here, he burst into laughter.

“I knew Su Xuan would catch those criminals!”

“Zhou, 1 really appreciate your help!”

Captain Liao expressed his gratitude to Zhou Qiang.

Since Zhou Qiang had other things to do, he didn’t stay long.

Captain Liao had originally wanted to invite him for lunch, but Zhou Qiang left without a second thought.

After calling him twice with no response, Captain Liao gave up.

He then instructed his team to take the two criminals downstairs for questioning and investigation.

At the same time, he shared his thoughts with the Deputy Team Leader, “Why isn’t Su Xuan part of our team? If he were, he could improve our team’s performance!”

Thinking about how Su Xuan would return to the Jiangcheng Police Station in a month, Captain Liao felt uneasy.

“What if I talk to the Chief and have Su Xuan transferred directly to our

Anti-Pickpocketing Team?”

“Let’s take the initiative!”

Captain Liao became more dissatisfied with the situation. Suddenly, he had an idea and turned to the Deputy Team Leader.

The Deputy Team Leader raised an eyebrow, “Aren’t you afraid that Captain

Mai will find out, deal with you first, and then complain to the Chief?”

“Your plan is so obvious that 1 can hear it from the next office!”

Old Mai:…

After being rebuffed by his friend, Captain Liao felt frustrated.

“Alright, I can’t convince you!”

“Since Su Xuan needs support on his side, and our team is short on people, why don’t you go over there?”

Upon hearing this, the Deputy Team Leader shrugged, “I’ll go if I need to!”

Being able to personally take criminals from Su Xuan’s hands was also a good opportunity for him, and he was eager to go!

Su Xuan had no idea that Captain Liao was once again thinking about keeping him.

At this moment, he had just come out of the restroom. People have their urgent needs, and there’s no way around it.

But as soon as he came out, he noticed an elderly man dragging a heavy bag, struggling to reach a chair near the restroom to take a rest.

Sweat was dripping from the man’s forehead. After some contemplation, he pulled out a water bottle from his worn-out bag, drank it all, and then swallowed hard.

Clearly, he hadn’t had enough to drink.

There were machines nearby supplying hot water. The elderly man looked left and right, then hesitated as he turned to a young man next to him.

“Young man, could you please teach me how to use this hot water machine?”

The young man, who had been approached by the elderly man, took a closer look at the old man’s frail appearance and couldn’t help but feel compassionate.

“Sure, I’ll help you fill the water.”

“Well, thank you so much, young man. Without your help, I wouldn’t have known what to do.”

Hearing the elderly man’s words, the young man was puzzled, “Sir, seeing that you’re of such an advanced age, did you travel alone by plane?”

“Yes, my daughter is over in Chang City. She called me last month to say she’s pregnant, so 1 thought I’d bring her some local specialties…”

“She’s not like us here. Even if she wants to taste the flavors of her hometown, it’s not easy.”

Hearing this, the young man, who was assisting the elderly man, nodded in understanding.

“Indeed, when I returned from my hometown after the New Year, I brought some homemade pickles my mother made. Once we finished them, 1 missed them so much…”

“Sir, your daughter has married so far away; she probably can’t easily get her hands on local specialties!”

The elderly man nodded in agreement.

“You’re absolutely right!”

As the two continued chatting, neither of them noticed that the canvas bag that had been placed aside had already been quietly seized and dragged away.

A suspicious-looking man brought the bag not far from them, positioning it near a trash bin, where he could shield himself from view. He triumphantly unzipped the bag and began to dig inside.

He had seen it earlier; the old man had stuffed quite a bit of money in there!

He couldn’t care less about local specialties; what he wanted was money!

Little did he know that the old man, who had appeared so feeble, would be so easily duped…

Just as the man was feeling proud, a playful voice spoke up.

“Well, well!”

“Stealing even an old man’s local goodies? That’s pretty low, isn’t it?”

The man suddenly jumped in surprise, breaking into a cold sweat.

He quickly looked up and saw a guy in short sleeves leaning against the wall, giving him a half-smile.

Clearly, this short-sleeved guy had witnessed his attempt to swipe the canvas bag and figured it out!

The man felt uncertain and uneasy.

But he tried to act cool, staring at Su Xuan and saying, “Buddy, I had my eye on this stuff first.”

“Are you trying to out-steal a thief?”

Apparently, the man mistook Su Xuan for a fellow thief who was also here to steal.

Out-steal a thief?

Hearing this, Su Xuan burst into laughter.

His laughter completely threw off the man.

Without looking back, the man wore a serious expression, keeping his angry gaze on Su Xuan.

He had already convinced himself that Su Xuan was here to pick pockets, just like him.

“In the underworld, there are rules.”

“If you want to play dirty tricks, you won’t leave this place alive today!”

The man spoke and patted his pocket.

“You probably don’t want me to pull out my weapon, do you?”

Oh?

Su Xuan raised an eyebrow. It was the first time he had been threatened by a criminal.

He immediately stood up straight from the wall and walked toward the man.

The man didn’t expect Su Xuan to approach him.

His expression changed suddenly.

He had intended to threaten Su Xuan, but before he could say a word, he saw Su Xuan’s hand partially emerging from his pocket.

The man’s eyes instinctively followed Su Xuan’s hand, noticing a small silver handcuff in his palm…

The man: ???

“I don’t even know what ‘path’ I’m on,” Su Xuan said with a half-smile. “Why don’t you help me figure it out?”

With the man’s shocked expression, Su Xuan walked up to him and stood in front of him.

He looked down at the man and continued, “You’d better be smart. Give back what you took and follow me quietly.”

“Or I could chase you and end this in a less dignified way.”

“Since you’ve been somewhat cooperative, I’ll give you two choices. It’s up to you.”

After Su Xuan finished speaking, the man held onto the canvas bag as if he wanted to hang himself with the bag’s rope.

No matter which path he chose, it seemed he couldn’t escape the inevitable outcome of being caught.

This was…

What was there to choose?

“Friend…”

“How about giving me a chance?” The man hesitated as he looked at Su Xuan, still trying to deceive him. “I’ll return this item immediately! Can we just pretend we never saw each other? It’s my first time doing something like this…”

“Could you give me a chance? I promise that as soon as I’m out of here, 1’11 mend my ways!”

Su Xuan: I’d rather believe in ghost!
