Chapter 287 - The Hapless Thief
The elderly man was a revered figure.
While at the pharmacy, he seemed quite ordinary.
Just before leaving, he made a phone call.
Five black cars pulled up at the entrance.
Around ten bodyguards encircled the entrance.
An equal number of police officers on motorcycles formed a ring.
This was unexpected even for Su Ming.
A remarkable spectacle unfolded on the street.
Five black cars and a swarm of police on motorcycles encased an electric motorbike.
The onlookers were completely taken aback.
“What's happening? Why are so many police surrounding a single electric bike?”
“Did I not wake properly? Am I dreaming now?”
“Oh my God.”
“I've never seen anything like this before.”
The crowd watched the unfolding event.
This was the first time Su Ming managed to ride an electric motorcycle on the street without any hindrances!
Shortly thereafter, they reached the downtown area.
They crossed an intersection and headed directly to Su Ming's residence.
At that moment, two suspicious figures emerged from behind a building.
Both were carrying bulging bags.
They were likely thieves.
They appeared quite pleased with themselves.
However, their joy was short-lived as they were apprehended by police at the entrance to Su Ming's home.
Then, five black cars neatly lined up at the door, trapping them.
The thieves were astounded.
The doors of the black cars swung open.
Even a small piece of this ginseng was highly beneficial.
The old man had to look away and pretend he saw nothing.
He couldn't bear to watch any longer.
“Here, take this.”
Su Ming offered the bag gently.
The old man anxiously received it, worried about potential damage to the ginseng.
The ginseng was immensely valuable.
He hastily grabbed the bag.
He opened the bag nervously.
He was thrilled to find two ginsengs inside.
Those around him seemed puzzled, not understanding the value of the items in the bag.
“Hurry, get the box and seal them properly! Quick!”
The old man yelled, trembling.
Two staff members rushed to a car, opened the trunk, and retrieved several pre-prepared boxes.
The old man delicately handled the ginseng.
He carefully placed them into the boxes.
He arranged the ginseng roots with a brush and tied them with red string.
“Ginseng?”
“Just two pieces of ginseng? That's not valuable.”
People around them scoffed.
The thieves, witnessing this, were indifferent.
Artificially grown ginseng isn't costly.
One thief casually remarked, “Artificial ginseng isn't worth much, and these are small. Don't arrest me this time, and I'll give you a bigger one. How about that?”
Having said that, the thief started to move forward.
But before he could advance...
Two officers quickly approached from the side, one grabbing him while the other cuffed him and used a stun baton.
The thief collapsed, unconscious.
The bystanders were shocked.
