Chapter 492 - I'm Not That Kind of Person

They soon arrived at their destination.

Upon exiting the car, Hsu Chenyang remarked, “Brother Wu, you live across from the police station? That seems a bit risky. But it's actually a smart move. The most dangerous place is often the safest. Brother Wu, you're really something.”

Unable to resist, Hsu Chenyang gave Captain Wu a thumbs-up.

Captain Wu blinked. He recalled the girl he had seen earlier seemed quite sharp; she wouldn't be on good terms with Mr. Su otherwise. Why then was her brother, Hsu Chenyang, acting so foolishly? It suddenly clicked for him why Hsu Chenyang had lost over 500,000 yuan.

Captain Wu gestured towards the police station and said, “Here we are. This is our destination.”

Hsu Chenyang quickly responded, “Brother Wu, this isn't a good joke! We should keep our distance from the police station.”

No sooner had Hsu Chenyang finished his sentence than the two young men following Captain Wu pulled out handcuffs and secured them around his wrists.

It dawned on Hsu Chenyang then. “You're cops?”

Reflecting on the perks Captain Wu had promised him, Hsu Chenyang sighed. Captain Wu hadn't lied; he would indeed receive such treatment in jail.

Hsu Chenyang was bewildered, but powerless. With Captain Wu having escorted him to the police station's doorstep, there was no chance of escape.

Captain Wu efficiently escorted Hsu Chenyang into the police station.

Before long, Hsu Chenyang had spilled all the details.

Captain Wu hardly had to press him; Hsu Chenyang volunteered everything without being asked.

That very night, Captain Wu led his team to dismantle the underground gambling den.

Meanwhile, Hsu Chenyue stood beside Su Ming, utterly baffled by his behavior.

Unable to contain her curiosity, she inquired, “Who is Brother Wu?”

“He's a police officer,” Su Ming replied, then clapped his hands and added, “Come on, get in the car. I'll take you home.”

Hsu Chenyue was taken aback. “A cop? Is he going to take my brother to the station?”

Ultimately, Hsu Chenyue found it hard to stomach the thought of her brother behind bars. Despite his failures, his debts, and the trouble he'd caused the family, he was still her flesh and blood. He had always been protective of her when she was little.

Su Ming sat in the driver's seat and said, “You didn't want things to end up like this, did you? Do you realize what will happen to your brother if he keeps on this path?”

Su Ming was at a loss for words.

What on earth were they saying?

They were overthinking it.

Did he come across as someone without patience?

“Dad, Mom, you're overthinking it.”

“Things aren't as you imagine.”

With a sense of resignation, Su Ming explained the situation once more. Upon hearing his explanation, Lee Sumei and Su Tao had an epiphany.

“No wonder Hsu looked so troubled, furrowing his brow and smoking while we talked.”

“If I had a son like that, I'd be pretty frustrated too.”

“You know, you really shouldn't...”

Lee Sumei interjected with a sigh. Su Ming felt okay after the first remark, but the second one set off alarm bells. By the third, he was hastily raising his hand in assurance.

“Mom, I swear to you, I would never engage in such activities.”

“I wouldn't dream of stealing or robbing money, let alone gambling.”

Su Ming's voice was firm, his demeanor earnest.

Su Tao showed his approval with a satisfied nod and a pat on his son's shoulder.

“You're truly my son,” Su Tao declared.

“Alright then. No need to stick around here. Go on and get some rest.”

Lee Sumei glanced at the clock.

“Dad, Mom, it's still early,” Su Ming protested, surprised.

”Don't assume we're out of touch. You young folks work so hard. Go on, head back and either rest or play some games to unwind.”

With that, he found himself unceremoniously ushered out by his parents.
