“Oh my, you’ve already caught a couple of criminal lovebirds?”

“Su Xuan, you haven’t stumbled upon some kind of thieves’ den, have you?”

“Or do you have some special powers?”

“It’s only been a short while…”

“We just got people from you, and when we’re in the car, your message arrives.”

“Wow, you have no idea what those criminals looked like…”

“They’d probably be even more excited to be caught by you!”

The team members arrived quickly, and almost as soon as they came, they handed over a bunch of handcuffs. Simultaneously, they stared in shock at the two criminals captured by Su Xuan and started to tease him.

Hearing this, Su Xuan shook his head in resignation. “It doesn’t really matter how many people I can catch. It’s just that these criminals didn’t choose their spots wisely and happened to be spotted by me.”

“These handcuffs you brought have come in handy for me.”

“Speaking of which, it’s almost noon. A few of you should go back and rest for a while. We can reconvene this afternoon.”

“I’m staying at the airport for lunch today; I won’t be going back.”

As soon as Su Xuan spoke, several police officers widened their eyes in surprise.

“If you don’t go back, where will you be to catch people when we return?”

“You’re acting like you’ll catch criminals right away,” Su Xuan said with exasperation. “Even a person needs a midday break.”

The main reason was that there were no more red dots in Su Xuan’s radar range at the moment. He figured it was about time, and considering the criminals he had just caught, the car was probably packed. Shouldn’t he release them before coming back?

The officers didn’t know Su Xuan’s true thoughts, but after hearing his words, they found them quite reasonable.

“Your idea is quite bold.”

“But don’t worry, I’ll talk to the deputy team leader.”

“See you in the afternoon!”

“Brother, keep it up! I have faith in you!”

“Our Anti-Pickpocketing Team’s performance target this year… relies on your sprint!”

A few police officers gestured at Su Xuan and then walked away with the two criminals. Su Xuan watched them go and then walked out of the stairwell.

There were no more red dots around, which meant there were temporarily no criminals nearby. Su Xuan decided to walk in a certain direction while sending a message to Zhang Chenglong.

At this moment, Zhang Chenglong, relying on the criminal that Su Xuan had provided him, had managed to capture quite a few of the suspect’s associates. When he received Su Xuan’s message, he couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear. “Su Xuan, you’re incredible!”

“In the work group on my phone, there are constantly updates about you catching criminals!”

“This time, you’ve caught so many criminals. As your partner, I’ve basked in quite a bit of your glory!”

Zhang Chenglong’s words might have sounded boastful, but Su Xuan waved them off without much concern.

“Zhang, what are you saying?”

“We’re a team.”

“And you’ve also caught quite a few criminals, haven’t you?”

“Where are you now? I’ll come find you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chenglong instinctively looked around.

“I’m at the exit of station C. You come over here, and I’ll wait for you at the exit.”

“Alright!”

Su Xuan hung up the phone and headed towards the exit of station C. Just then, a figure rushed out hastily from the elevator entrance. She was looking down at her phone, moving swiftly, and heading straight forward. Her speed was so fast that Su Xuan didn’t even have time to evade.

“Crash!”

“Ouch!”

As the woman let out a painful cry, she had collided forcefully with Su Xuan, who found himself on the ground. He quickly helped her to her feet and asked, “Are you okay?”

Although it wasn’t his fault, he wanted to be a gentleman about it.

“I’m fine,” the woman replied, feeling a bit embarrassed. “I didn’t mean to…”

As she spoke, she lifted her head and, upon seeing Su Xuan’s face, she was taken aback.

“Oh my! Handsome Officer, it’s you!”

Handsome… Officer?

Su Xuan was momentarily surprised and looked at her face closely.

With a good memory and having met her not too long ago during a beach patrol, Su Xuan quickly recognized her.

“What a coincidence.”

This woman was none other than the girl Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang had encountered during their beach patrol, the one looking for her friend. However, what puzzled Su Xuan was that she had appeared much younger back then. How had she suddenly grown up?

Noticing Su Xuan’s confusion, the woman introduced herself. “Officer, my name is Zhou Yiyi. I forgot to tell you my name last time.”

Su Xuan decided not to dwell on the age issue and replied, “What a small world. Are you on a mission here?”

She hesitated briefly but then sealed her lips with a zip motion, indicating she wouldn’t reveal his identity.

“Thank you for helping me this time,” she said genuinely. “I might have hit the ground hard if not for you.”

Su Xuan explained, “I’m quite busy today, but when I’m back later, how about 1 treat you to a meal?”

“Su Xuan, last time, we only exchanged contact, and we didn’t even have a proper conversation…”

“This time, you can’t refuse me, right?”

Zhou Yiyi gazed at Su Xuan, who looked quite handsome even in casual attire. She recalled the striking figure he had cut by the beach, and without hesitation, she proposed another dinner date.

However, Su Xuan could only shake his head helplessly in response.

“I’m really sorry, but I’m currently on a mission,” he explained. “By the time I’m back, I’ll likely still be on duty. Let’s not plan this dinner.”

He tried to downplay the importance of the dinner invitation, saying it was just a casual thing.

But just as he declined, Zhou Yiyi was not willing to give up. For her, the dinner wasn’t the main point. It was an opportunity to get closer to this handsome young man. After all, every romance starts with getting closer, right? If she didn’t make a move, how would she have a chance?

“No, this won’t do. I…”

Seeing Zhou Yiyi still trying to persuade him to continue discussing the dinner date, Su Xuan promptly made his escape.

“I’m sorry, but I have something to attend to right now. I’ll have to leave.”

With that, Su Xuan walked away, paying no heed to whether Zhou Yiyi agreed or not.

He could feel that this young woman had an unusually strong interest in him. However, Su Xuan was currently on a mission and didn’t want his personal feelings to get in the way of his work.

Besides…

He had already been on a blind date, and he felt he owed it to that potential relationship!

As Su Xuan quickly walked away, Zhou Yiyi understood his intention. He was rejecting her advances.

She stood there for a while, feeling a bit disappointed.

“What’s this!”

“I’m a beautiful woman offering him dinner, and he actually said no!”

“How rude…”

“I clearly asked him if he was single last time… with this attitude, he deserves to be single!”

“Hmph!”
