“It’s a shame,” the young man sighed. “I’ve been spending a lot recently, and now I’m almost out of money.”

“We have to return to your hometown soon, and I’m worried 1 can’t survive there,” he added.

“Do you think the police have gone crazy? All of a sudden, they’ve started cracking down…”

“I don’t even have a place to get some money!”

The young man sighed again, looking around at the people nearby.

As they talked, more passengers waiting in the area had taken seats. Before long, it was crowded with people.

The two criminals who were talking glanced at each other.

The one who had been encouraging his partner to go to his hometown thought for a moment. He couldn’t just send him there without any means of support, could he?

So, he turned to his companion and made a suggestion, “How about…”

“Before we leave, we have a little adventure?”

Hearing this, the younger man hesitated. “Uh, well…”

“Bro, you know how it is. With the current level of scrutiny, if we really try anything, we’ll probably get caught!”

“Maybe we should just forget it?”

He hesitated.

Seeing his companion’s uncertainty, the older criminal smirked and leaned closer, pointing toward a group of people nearby. He began to coax in a hushed tone.

“Why are you afraid?”

“We’re about to board the plane. Once we’re on it, we can leave this lousy city!”

“Let’s do one more time before we go. Who’s going to know it’s us?”

“Besides, with the money from this job, we won’t have to worry about a thing when we get to my hometown…”

“We’ll just find an easy target and go for it!”

“What do you say, in or out?”

Hearing this, the previously hesitant young man swallowed hard.

He wasn’t lying, he really was short on cash. When he heard his partner urging him, he couldn’t resist any longer.

The two of them wandered through the crowd, and they happened to spot Su Xuan, who was sitting alone, engrossed in his phone, a little distance away from them.

They exchanged glances and had an idea: here was their unwitting victim!

The previously hesitant young man took a deep breath, stood up, bought a bottle of water from a vending machine, and then sat down closer to Su Xuan.

Quietly, he sized up Su Xuan, his eyes lighting up as he noticed the bulging pocket. It was clear he believed there must be something valuable inside.

Seeing the swelling in the pocket, the young man’s breath quickened. His hand moved stealthily towards Su Xuan’s pocket.

Su Xuan watched the hand inch closer, his face mocking, a cold smile playing on his lips. When the young man’s hand slipped into his pocket and he tried to make a run for it with whatever he had taken, Su Xuan swiftly pressed down on the pocket, trapping the thief’s hand inside.

The young man’s face changed drastically. His hand was pinned down by Su Xuan, and he couldn’t move an inch. Already on edge from being caught by the police earlier, this new discovery sent him into a panic. He looked up at Su Xuan, his body trembling.

“Hey, buddy… Please, let me go, okay?”

The young man pleaded with Su Xuan in a hushed tone. His hand was trapped in Su Xuan’s pocket, and he felt something cold inside…

His face turned pale, and he instinctively rotated his hand around the cold object. A sudden thought formed in his mind, and he was about to shout.

But he didn’t get the chance.

The criminal who had previously encouraged the young man to act, witnessing that his companion had been discovered, suddenly changed his expression. He had initially planned to flee, but seeing that Su Xuan was alone, he grew bolder.

He stood up, walked over to Su Xuan, and sat down beside the young man. Then, leaning closer, he spoke in a low, threatening tone.

“Kid, I’ll give you one chance. Release him now!”

“We’re just here for some quick cash. We don’t want any trouble. But if you resist, you’ll regret it.”

“Do you even know who I am? I could tell you, but it might just scare you to death!”

“Be smart, let go now, or don’t blame me for not warning you!”

Hearing these words, a wry smile tugged at the corners of Su Xuan’s mouth. He didn’t feel frightened, in fact, he found it quite amusing.

Thinking about it, his lips curled up in an almost inappropriate smirk.

Seeing Su Xuan laugh in the face of danger, the man was bewildered. Then, a surge of anger overtook him.

God knows, over these past few days, they, the petty thieves, had been driven to the brink of madness by the undercover police officer from who knows where. That cop was surprisingly skilled.

Each time they targeted a thief, they ended up nabbing one. It left them, the low-level thieves, trembling with fear.

Now, when they thought they were about to make their escape and decided to take one last chance, they were discovered…

And this guy dared to taunt them?

The man was instantly furious. He stood up and strode towards Su Xuan, clearly intending to use force.

The man thought he had it all figured out. After all, he was planning to leave Hong Kong as soon as this job was done. He assumed this seemingly weak guy wouldn’t want to confront them head-on and would probably be willing to pay up…

With this in mind, the man felt a sense of triumph.

They were about to board the plane, and even if this guy wanted to report them to the police, it would be too late…

With a smug expression, the man spoke, “Hand over any cash you have and any valuables, or else don’t blame us for roughing you up!”

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan raised an eyebrow.

He was somewhat surprised that this guy had the audacity to say such things.

Was he not planning to steal, but instead, opting for a direct robbery?

Su Xuan considered for a moment and, amidst the intense gazes of the two would-be robbers, casually released his grip. “Alright, take what you want.”

In that instant, as Su Xuan let go, the young man’s face turned pale, his lips trembling, and he couldn’t utter a word. It was the man who, witnessing his companion’s cowardly behavior, became speechless. He smacked his companion on the shoulder and scolded, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up, take the stuff, and let’s go!”

The trembling young man dared not move; his hands were even shaking. The man’s eyes widened with rage, about to speak out.

However, Su Xuan, wearing a smile, spoke up, “Yes, why is your hand still in my pocket?”

“Take it out. I don’t want an extra Siamese twin.”

After Su Xuan’s words, the man felt a sting in his pride. He had heard the mockery in Su Xuan’s words and his face darkened.

He was about to say something when he saw his companion reluctantly pull his hand out. There was a string of silver bracelets on his fingers.

Looking at his companion’s pitiful expression, he could only say, “Bro…”

The man:”!!!”

“What the heck!?”
