Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The main reason was that the lady had played the pitiable card a bit too hard. Added to that, her previous words had clear implications and were suggestive. The hearts of the onlookers had been swayed from the very beginning.
Naturally, no one could have imagined that someone would arrest a person in public using handcuffs. It was not just about being seen as bizarre, it could also be an undercover police officer. When they heard Su Xuan’s words and saw his police identification, they were immediately thrown into confusion.
Subsequently, they became nervous. To be fair, when they first confronted Su Xuan and his companion, it was partly because they thought Su Xuan might be a pervert. On the other hand, it was also because the lady was incredibly attractive.
Most of the customers in this noodle shop were men. Who wouldn’t want to assert their masculinity in front of a beautiful lady? If they could genuinely help the lady, it would be considered a good deed.
But that didn’t mean they wanted to go up against the police! Even though this lady was stunning, it wouldn’t change the fact that she was handcuffed by an undercover officer. No matter how attractive she was, they probably didn’t want to get involved with someone of dubious reputation.
Who knew if she was a thief or something else? At this moment, the customers regretted getting involved in this situation before knowing the full story. They looked at Su Xuan’s police badge, and a group of them shifted their gazes and instinctively sealed their lips.
Those who had previously stood up, getting emotional and banging on tables, felt awkward and rubbed their noses before reluctantly sitting back down. If it was a confrontation with a pervert, they could still play the sympathy card in front of the beautiful lady. But when it came to a police officer, it would be obstructing law enforcement!
They were just here to grab a quick meal on their journey, no need to get themselves involved…
Seeing that the customers had all seated themselves again, Su Xuan put away his police badge and turned to the woman, saying, “Please cooperate with our investigation.”
“Come with us for a moment.”
However, at this point, the woman’s expression had changed drastically. Her face was tense, and even her gaze started darting around. She had lost the composure she had at the beginning.
She couldn’t help but grit her back teeth. She hadn’t thought that these customers here would be so useless! Did she not know whether she had committed any crimes or not? The suitcase she had with her contained stolen goods!
She had originally thought she could make a quick escape during this opportunity. She hadn’t expected these people to be so spineless and let a police officer scare them away with just a badge.
Even with just a bit of common sense, she knew the consequences if she were truly arrested now.
The woman was almost on the verge of tears from frustration. But at this point, there was no one to speak up for her anymore. She gritted her teeth and began to struggle.
“You’re a cop, what does that have to do with me?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“Don’t think just because you’re a cop, you can arrest people at will. I’m not interested in you, no matter what!”
“Can a cop just snatch a civilian? Even if you take me to the police station today, 1 still won’t be interested in you!”
“Why should I go with you, cooperate with the investigation… What right do you have to make me go with you? Let me go quickly…”
The woman had actually escaped from another province. She had been staying in a place where things were getting hot, and it looked like they were closing in on her. That’s when she decided to find shelter in a remote town for a while. When things calmed down a bit, she planned to move on. But she hadn’t expected to get caught as soon as she stepped off the plane. Could her luck get any worse?
In her eyes, there was no way Su Xuan should have discovered her true identity, let alone apprehend her. She contemplated using brute force to break free. However, Su Xuan gave her no chance at all.
Not only was she seated on the inside, but even if she had been on the outside, Su Xuan would have grabbed her anyway. Unlike other officers who might doubt themselves due to her attitude, Su Xuan had a system to rely on. The red sin value indicated a 100% probability that the person was a criminal. There was no way Su Xuan would let a criminal escape in front of him.
Seeing the woman’s movements, Su Xuan furrowed his brow and sternly shouted, “Behave yourself!”
“Are you the girl who was abducted or a real suspect? You know it yourself!”
“Don’t try to play any tricks in front of us!”
“Cooperate with us right away! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite!”
“In front of the police, there’s no distinction between male and female criminals!”
“When it’s time to take action…”
Su Xuan’s words were almost aimed at the woman’s face, telling her that if she dared to move again, he wouldn’t hesitate to subdue her.
The woman, who had been considering struggling, was left dumbfounded. Were the police in this remote place all this aggressive? It seemed the saying “poverty breeds hooligans” wasn’t just empty words!
However, the woman finally realized that her tough talk wouldn’t work after this scare. But she still couldn’t believe her identity had been discovered.
With pursed lips, tears welled up in her eyes. She continued to insist on her innocence.
“You’re using excessive force…”
“I’ll report you to the complaint bureau…”
“Let me go… Look at how I’m dressed… How could I be a thief…”
“Don’t accuse people so casually! 1 have money, why would 1 steal…”
The woman began to defend herself, but Su Xuan immediately sneered.
“I never said you were a thief.”
“I just said we need your cooperation for an investigation, and some people with guilty consciences tend to assume things.”
“Even before I spoke, you’ve already exposed yourself!”
“Your appearance certainly doesn’t suggest you’re a thief, and your disguise is quite good. It’s just your misfortune that you encountered me!”
“Today, even if you’re unlucky…”
“Zhao Tingting, you can’t run anymore!”
Su Xuan directly called out her name from the sin value interface.
Hearing her real name, the beautiful woman who had been considering resisting suddenly fell silent. In that moment, she finally understood…
Some people had indeed seen through her identity, and that’s why they had come after her.
But she still couldn’t comprehend how Su Xuan had discovered her identity. She had just arrived in this city today! Could it be that back in her hometown, someone had already exposed her, and during the time she was on the plane, she had become a wanted criminal?
The woman exclaimed, “How do you know me?”
At this moment, the woman also realized that since the police already knew her name, they probably had a clear understanding of her criminal activities. She was in deep trouble.
With that thought in mind, she lowered her head and said, “Officer, although 1 don’t know how you found out about my identity, but…”
“I confess!”
Upon hearing this, the few skeptical customers who had been in the shop all along were shocked, their eyes widening. Even though Su Xuan had shown his police badge, they had some doubts.
Now, seeing the woman’s actions and words, they finally understood that Su Xuan had indeed come to apprehend her.
Combined with their earlier conversation, everyone knew that this woman might be a thief.
At this point, the customers’ eyes, once filled with sympathy and admiration for the woman’s beauty, were now replaced with sheer disgust..
