Chapter 60: Excitement, The Criminal Was Knocked Out?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Being smacked in the mouth with a hammer was such a shock to the man that it took him a moment to realize what had just happened. He couldn’t believe that he had been struck by a seemingly insignificant hammer that he had dismissed.

In that instant, the pain in his teeth paled in comparison to the sheer bewilderment he felt. Then, a searing pain radiated from his teeth and mouth to his brain, causing him to see stars, and he felt utterly dumbfounded.

Damn it! After years of being a thief, it was the first time he had encountered something like this! He had watched the hammer casually, thinking he could easily dodge it, but it inexplicably struck his mouth. He couldn’t believe it even if someone told him!

No matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t figure out what had just happened. All he could say was that this thing was incredibly bizarre. Could it be some kind of buffed hammer?

The man climbed to his feet, one hand covering his mouth. Blood quickly soaked his entire body. With a mouth full of damaged teeth, he glared at Su Xuan with a menacing look.

The pain in his mouth pulsed, but strangely, it helped him to clear his thoughts. He had to run! If he got caught, he’d be done for!

Before he could even figure out what to do next, Su Xuan had already approached him. He lifted his foot and kicked the man’s wrist, where he had been holding the weapon.

The man was still dazed from the unexpected turn of events, and Su Xuan’s kick made his hand go slack, causing the knife to fall to the ground.

On the sidelines, Zhou Qiang quickly reacted, kicking the knife behind him, and another police officer used a credential bag to pick it up and put it away.

Seeing that even his weapon had been taken away, the man still refused to give up. He and his wife had finally managed to save a bit of money and had come to this city hoping for a better life. They were planning to settle down, but they hadn’t expected to encounter a police officer as soon as they arrived, and things had escalated to a physical altercation.

The man knew that his guilty demeanor earlier had likely led the officers to have a significant misunderstanding about his identity. His only option now was to run.

“Honey, run quickly!” With this thought in mind, the man didn’t waste any more time and charged at Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang, throwing punches while shouting.

Ignoring the pain from his wounds, the man was determined to get his wife out of there.

Su Xuan, witnessing the man’s urgent plea and the immediate attempt by his wife to flee with the suitcase, dashed forward. Although the woman had a high sin value on her, unlike her husband, she didn’t possess any martial skills. Moreover, women naturally had less physical strength than men. With a swift rush, Su Xuan easily overtook her and blocked her path.

The woman, still dragging the suitcase, tried to pass through him, believing that Su Xuan might let her go. However, Su Xuan reached out and seized her suitcase. She hesitated briefly, then abandoned the suitcase and attempted to run.

Su Xuan moved quickly, caught her by the collar, and pulled her back. Simultaneously, he retrieved handcuffs from his waist and restrained her wrists.

“Your wife has already been apprehended by us. You’d better surrender peacefully; there’s no escape for you!” Su Xuan declared, looking at the man.

The man witnessed this scene but couldn’t accept being captured so easily.

They had stolen so many things in other cities and were not caught. How could they be caught as soon as they arrived?

They had successfully stolen so many things in other cities without getting caught; how could they possibly be apprehended so soon after arriving here?

With this thought in mind, the man grabbed onto Zhou Qiang’s hand. Zhou Qiang, however, was not so easily caught. The two struggled fiercely, neither yielding to the other’s grip.

Su Xuan handed the female offender over to his colleague and turned his attention to the tense standoff between the man and Zhou Qiang. He picked up the hammer from the ground once more.

“Zhou Qiang, be careful and dodge!” Su Xuan shouted loudly. Simultaneously, he hurled the hammerhead fiercely towards the male criminal.

“You’ve got to be kidding me. You think a lousy hammer can hit me?” the man said with a skeptical tone, his disdain evident in his voice.

As Zhou Qiang evaded the incoming hammer, he quickly changed direction and charged toward Su Xuan. He hadn’t forgotten that it was Su Xuan who had captured his wife, and he was determined to teach him a lesson and retrieve his wife.

BANG!

bang!

With a resounding crash, Su Xuan’s thrown hammer struck the man’s knee just as he was charging toward Su Xuan. The impact caused the man to stumble and fall to the ground, leaving him in a rather undignified position.

It seemed luck was not on his side, especially with his injured mouth now adding to his woes.

At that moment, the man felt as if his vision was fading, with his temples throbbing, and waves of dizziness washing over him. He dare not hold back and clutched his mouth, then looked in his wife’s direction with a desperate glance.

Right in her eyes, he reluctantly lost consciousness.

“Honey!”

The wife screamed and rushed toward her husband.

But a police officer grabbed her hand, holding her firmly in place.

Su Xuan hadn’t expected the situation to develop so dramatically. He had aimed the hammer at the man’s hand originally. If the man had released his grip, Zhou Qiang could have easily apprehended the female criminal.

Who could have imagined that this guy still wanted to charge over and cause trouble? As a result, he ended up making his already injured mouth suffer even more.

“Sigh! In any case, we managed to capture them.”

“Daring to wield a knife at a police officer? You’re the only one.”

“Zhou, get him in custody?”

Su Xuan exhaled in relief and then turned to Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang nodded and walked over, restraining the criminal’s hands behind his back and lifting him up. He checked the man’s breathing, saying, “He’s fine, just passed out after falling down. He knocked himself out.”

“You guys take the criminals back; I’ll take him to the hospital.”

Hearing this, Su Xuan didn’t object.

After all, these criminals were a bit formidable. If one of them woke up and caused trouble on the way, Su Xuan alone might not be able to handle it. It was better to let Zhou Qiang take care of them.

Su Xuan walked over and took the two criminals’ luggage, finding it surprisingly heavy. He halted and exchanged a glance with his colleague before ushering the criminals into the police car.

It was only then that they had the time to look at the luggage. “What should we do with this stuff? Should we bring it along?”

“Let’s just take it to the police station.”

Tian Genchui had heard about Su Xuan and his colleagues’ intense scuffle and was quite shocked. Seriously, they had confronted criminals armed with knives! If it weren’t for Su Xuan’s swift and accurate hammer strikes, they might still be wrestling with the criminals now. If something had gone wrong and someone got injured, what would they do?

“It’s already noon now, and you’ve arrested quite a few criminals,” Tian Genchui said, breaking the silence. “Take this opportunity to rest at the station. Besides, even if you arrest more, our station can’t hold them all.”

Hearing this, Su Xuan awkwardly scratched his head. He realized he had indeed arrested quite a few criminals. But he hadn’t expected that the station would run out of space for them..
