Chapter 115: Good Guy, Are You Playing Arrest?

The man’s expression, originally filled with arrogance, froze in place. He stared at Su Xuan with disbelief in his eyes, trying to make sense of the strange feeling that had just washed over him.

Whether it was when they attempted theft or when he threatened Su Xuan, there had been no anger or fear in Su Xuan’s demeanor. The man had initially assumed that Su Xuan was just paralyzed with fear.

But now, he finally understood where that unsettling feeling came from.

This guy, Su Xuan, was an undercover cop!

The roles had suddenly reversed, with the man now the one dumbfounded.

“Holy crap… You’re a cop?!” The man stammered, speaking half to himself, “If you’re a cop… you should’ve said so earlier!”

“I definitely wouldn’t have dared to threaten you!”

In fact, he wouldn’t even dare to walk past Su Xuan in his current state.

Su Xuan, with a sly grin, nodded at the two of them. Before the onlookers could react, he calmly held out the handcuffs in his hand and spoke.

“I’m from the Anti-Pickpocket Unit.”

“So, are you going to put these on yourselves, or do I need to hold you down while I cuff you?”

Su Xuan’s words left the two would-be thieves dumbfounded. They were petrified, scared out of their wits. The man who had earlier tried to intimidate Su Xuan was now shivering and wore a bitter smile.

“Bro, I was wrong, can’t we just forget this?” He pleaded, “I admit I raised my voice a bit earlier… Can’t you just pretend you didn’t see anything?”

Su Xuan, however, sneered, not moved by their pleas. He knew these were criminals, and if given the chance, they would strike again.

“Do it yourselves,” Su Xuan said flatly.

The two men exchanged glances, and their hearts sank. They had never imagined that, on the brink of escape, they would encounter a cop, and an undercover one at that.

If they had known, they wouldn’t have even considered committing the crime at this moment. To knowingly engage in such activities in the midst of heightened security checks was sheer madness.

Damn it!

Thinking about how just a moment ago they were considering the recent intense crackdowns and checks, only to find themselves on the verge of stealing something, made the man feel a deep sense of frustration. And to top it off, they accidentally targeted an undercover cop. They had willingly walked right into a trap!

The man felt a mix of sadness and anger. He shot an angry glare at the young man beside him. If it weren’t for this guy’s persuasion, he wouldn’t have ended up in the hands of the police. They could have been on that plane by now, escaping to freedom.

But now, what should they do?

Both of them exchanged nervous glances, neither daring to make a move. Su Xuan was growing impatient. He watched as their expressions turned serious, his own face becoming stern.

“Hurry up!” he ordered.

At his words, the young man trembled all over, his fear intensifying. He didn’t want to get caught. He was on the brink of escaping, how could he allow himself to be apprehended now? He had already bought his plane ticket!

With this thought in mind, the young man suddenly stood up and pushed his companion forcefully. He sprinted towards the exit. But before he could make it out, Su Xuan raised his leg, executed a swift maneuver, and captured him in a restraining hold. Before the onlookers could react, Su Xuan had him pinned to the seat.

The young man struggled for a moment but then wilted, his face pale.

Su Xuan gave him a stern rebuke. “You’ve got some nerve, trying to run away. Playing fugitive, huh?”

He secured the young man and scolded him. “Behave yourself! You’ve blown my cover. Watch me charge you with obstructing justice!”

The young man shuddered, unable to utter a word.

Seeing his reaction, Su Xuan turned his gaze to the man who had been sitting there, dumbfounded.

The man, being older and more experienced than the young guy, quickly complied, especially with a fellow accomplice leading the way. He extended his hand politely, fearing Su Xuan might also subject him to the same stern treatment.

“Officer, there’s no need to trouble you with this,” he said. “I can do it myself.”

As he spoke, the man took the handcuffs from Su Xuan’s hand and secured them around his own wrist. He made sure to lower his hand and let his sleeve cover the handcuffs as Su Xuan had advised earlier. From the outside, no one would suspect that two out of the three of them were wearing handcuffs.

Seeing this, Su Xuan couldn’t help but feel satisfied. He took out his phone and messaged the deputy team leader, instructing them to come and pick up the suspects.

Meanwhile, in the patrol car parked in a corner of the airport, the undercover anti-pickpocket team was eagerly awaiting the surprise that Su Xuan was about to bring them.

As they watched the lone suspect sitting in the car, the team members couldn’t resist discussing the situation.

“Hey, do you guys think Su Xuan just nabbed a bunch of suspects earlier? When will he bring in more?”

“I wonder how many he’ll catch this time…”

“After all, the airport and the subway are quite different. Can he really catch them this quickly?”

“What’s he thinking? At least it’s an airport. Can’t he give the airport pickpockets a little credit?”

“Yeah, I mean, airports are probably not an easy target…”

As the team members were in the middle of their conversation, the deputy team leader furrowed his brows, about to interject when his phone suddenly rang. He quickly retrieved his phone and saw that Su Xuan had sent him a voice message.

Without hesitation, he opened the voice message, and Su Xuan’s voice echoed through the entire car.

“Deputy Team Leader, I’ve caught two criminals attempting to flee the city in the lobby. Please come and assist in taking them to the patrol car.”

The team members who had just been discussing were left stunned, their mouths agape.

Everyone in the anti-pickpocket team had been contemplating whether Su Xuan could catch more criminals. However, after hearing Su Xuan’s voice message, they were completely taken aback.

Despite witnessing Su Xuan’s prowess earlier, they couldn’t help but be astonished.

How long had it been since Su Xuan had brought someone over here?

Calculating the time, it couldn’t have been more than ten minutes since he left.

And now, he had managed to catch more criminals?

“No way…”

One of the team members couldn’t help but mutter, “Is this for real? This is too incredible!”

As he spoke, the others quickly realized the same.

“How many minutes has it been?”

“His efficiency, his thief-catching skills…”

“No wonder Captain Liao wants Su Xuan to stay in our team. With this kind of thief-catching ability, 1 want it too!”

“Are you daydreaming? With your skills, you should be grateful for even a tenth of his ability!”

“I have to admit, we’re just not as good…”

“In just one morning, he caught several, while I’ve been wandering around the airport for ages and haven’t caught a single one…”

The team members exchanged remarks, almost getting into an argument.

The deputy team leader wore a stern expression as he quickly replied to Su Xuan.

“All right, Officer Su Xuan, please wait in place. I’ll be there immediately..”
