Chapter 120: Who the hell stole my wallet…

Seeing those two pairs of handcuffs in front of them, there was no way the two wouldn’t know Su Xuan was a cop.

Recalling how Su Xuan had stepped in earlier, messing with their business, both of them felt puzzled.

So, everything they had just done had been spotted by a cop?!

This annoying cop, why was he getting involved in their affairs?

Seeing the two staring at the handcuffs without making a move, Su Xuan got impatient.

“Hurry up,” he urged, “Put on the handcuffs yourselves, or don’t blame me for not being polite.”

“Better remind you,” Su Xuan continued calmly, “If you try to run now, that’s resisting arrest.” He looked at the girl, who had taken two steps back, clearly ready to escape. “Remember, this airport isn’t just patrolled by me alone. Can you really get away?”

Upon hearing this, the girl, who had been about to flee, stopped in her tracks and stood there, her expression changing rapidly.

The man who had previously confronted Su Xuan seemed to hesitate as well. He approached but didn’t seem intent on taking the handcuffs.

“It’s best to think twice before resorting to violence, especially against a police officer.”

“Shoplifting might land you a few days in jail at most, but resisting arrest and assaulting an officer could lead to far more severe consequences.”

Facing the man’s actions, Su Xuan remained calm and unflustered. He watched the man closely, his words measured.

The man froze momentarily.

Looking at both of their actions, Su Xuan was satisfied.

“Now, do yourselves a favor and put the handcuffs on. Your choice of actions is up to you…”

As he finished speaking, the young couple in front of him gazed at the handcuffs, torn between their options.

They had considered resisting arrest or even fighting back, but every time they attempted, Su Xuan would catch them, sometimes even turning the tables and threatening them. With each failed attempt, their resolve waned.

At this moment, they were beginning to feel apprehensive.

After all, what the cop said was true. Even if they were caught now, they would only be detained for a few days. But if they were charged with resisting arrest or assaulting an officer, who knew how long they might end up behind bars?

The nature of these crimes was entirely different, and they certainly didn’t want to escalate things to that level.

Realizing this, both of them backed down.

“Officer, there’s no need, really…”

“We’ll put them on right now!”

“We voluntarily surrendered, could you please go easy on us?”

“Officer, you know we didn’t mean to do it. We’re just really short on cash. Can you give us another chance?”

“Don’t lock us up, we’ve learned our lesson!”

The guy in the couple quickly spoke up, surrendering any remaining shreds of their dignity and begging for mercy.

Su Xuan couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. With their expertise, they dared to claim it was their first time stealing. They certainly didn’t mince words!

“So, because you’re short on cash, that makes it okay to steal?”

“You’re physically able, why not find legitimate work? Have you thought about how the person you stole from feels?”

“I’ll give you another chance, but honestly, no decent person would say such vile things!”

“Hurry up and put on the handcuffs!”

“Don’t force me to take action…”

Hearing Su Xuan’s words, the two knew they probably couldn’t escape this time. They exchanged glances and took the handcuffs from Su Xuan, voluntarily putting them on.

Seeing this, Su Xuan led them to a secluded area. As they turned a corner, they suddenly spotted the lady who had lost her belongings hurrying towards them. She had several anxious friends and family members trailing behind her, apparently looking for her. The group was heading straight for them.

As they walked, the lady who had lost her belongings was frantically searching while muttering to herself.

“For heaven’s sake! Did I lose my stuff, or did someone steal it? Who’s the heartless thief who took my money?”

“I’ve searched for so long, it must have been stolen…”

“I remember now, there was a woman chatting with me earlier. It was probably stolen then…”

“What should I do? It’s been so long, and that woman has probably already run away. That money is my husband’s life-saving funds!”

While the lady was speaking, an equally anxious elderly man nearby shot her a fierce glare.

“You know that’s your husband’s life-saving money!”

“Before we left, 1 told you to put the money with me because you were worried.”

“I suggested putting it in the bank, but you didn’t want to…”

“Now, the money’s been stolen…”

“Are you doing this on purpose? Trying to steal the money, causing my son to die, so you can remarry, is that it?”

“Could this be your little act? Did you hide the money…”

Watching the potential family drama unfolding, Su Xuan quickly pushed the two culprits toward the group of people.

Luckily, the corridor was empty except for him, the two culprits, and this group of people.

The lady who had been scolded by her mother-in-law suddenly saw a man and a woman approaching. Her eyes lit up.

“It’s this person!”

“She stole my stuff!”

“It must be her… 1 was talking to her just a moment ago and lost focus…”

Before she could finish her sentence, the handcuffs on the wrists of the two culprits caught her eye, leaving her momentarily speechless.

For a moment, she wasn’t entirely sure if these were the culprits.

However, the lady’s relatives who had heard her words weren’t concerned about the truth. Especially her mother-in-law, who looked at the two culprits with disdain.

The two culprits had handcuffs that clearly revealed their identity at a glance.

“You two scoundrels!”

“Why would you steal anything, especially my son’s life-saving money!”

“You have no conscience!”

“You scoundrels, I’ll teach you a lesson! Give me back my money!”

Upon hearing this, the two thieves’ faces changed, and they were about to speak.

The lady had already spotted Su Xuan behind them and quickly walked toward him, speaking hesitantly.

“Officer, my wallet is missing!”

“I had a conversation with them earlier, and I suspect they took my wallet…”

“Please, officer, help me find my husband’s life-saving money…”

As the lady said these words, she was still somewhat nervous. She wasn’t sure if these two culprits were the ones who stole her money, but she had been searching all along and couldn’t find her wallet. Now that the two people she had talked to earlier had been apprehended, she could only try her luck.

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan furrowed his brow and immediately nudged the male culprit’s shoulder. He had seen the woman steal something and then hand it over to the man.

“Ma’am, please don’t worry. 1 will make sure they return your wallet…”

“Now, return the items to her quickly!”
