With that, Su Xuan grabbed the scammer by the hand and hoisted him up.

The scammer stood there, crestfallen, without uttering a word.

He knew his recent escape attempt had exposed his identity. Now, with his hands cuffed, he couldn’t even attempt to weasel out of it.

Seeing their current state, Zhao Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up the book, approached Su Xuan, and expressed her gratitude.

“Su Xuan, thank you so much! If it weren’t for your keen eye, I probably wouldn’t have realized he was a scammer. I was even getting ready to compensate him!”

She hesitated for a moment, then continued, “Um, would you like to wait in my office? Or are you planning to leave now?”

Zhao Ruoxi wasn’t quite sure about the protocol after apprehending someone, but watching Su Xuan holding the criminal, she figured it might not be a suitable place for him to linger.

“I won’t be going to your office,” Su Xuan replied, grinning. He clicked his tongue and, with the handcuffs now in use, used his walkie-talkie to call for assistance. To his surprise, his partner had just taken the perp to the police station and hadn’t returned yet.

He decided to wait for them in the stairwell, all the while keeping an eye on the two criminals. “I’ll be in the stairwell. I’ve got one more guy tied up over there. Would you mind helping me block the view?”

Su Xuan glanced at Zhao Ruoxi, conveying his request with a subtle nod. She quickly caught on and removed her coat, tossing it onto the hand Su Xuan was using to restrain the criminal.

Su Xuan didn’t decline the help. He chuckled and said, “I’m grateful you’re here; otherwise, 1 wouldn’t have known how to get this criminal over to the other side.”

Hearing this, Zhao Ruoxi shook her head in resignation. “I should be saying that to you. Su Xuan, thank you. 1 never expected you to actually come!”

She then asked, her face faintly blushing, “Did you… come here because you heard there were criminals?”

While talking, her voice became softer, almost a whisper.

Su Xuan naturally understood what Zhao Ruoxi was thanking him for, but he had also benefited from this situation. Moreover, he was a police officer, so apprehending criminals was simply part of his job.

He waved his hand nonchalantly and replied, “What’s the big deal? I’m just a cop, catching criminals is my duty.”

“Since I knew there were thieves running rampant here, not showing up would have been a disservice to my profession.”

“Besides, with this thief in custody, maybe your theft problem here will improve a bit.”

Su Xuan’s words truly resonated with Zhao Ruoxi. Although he was here to earn points, he had indeed apprehended many criminals, making things a bit better on her end.

This was something that couldn’t be denied by anyone.

Upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, Zhao Ruoxi felt deeply moved. She had no idea about Su Xuan’s system-related matters and believed that he had come because of her.

Thinking about this, Zhao Ruoxi’s face flushed even more.

As they walked forward together, they conversed like old friends, exchanging words without pause.

The criminal sandwiched between them wore a bitter expression and couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Officer, Miss, could you two consider my feelings? Even if I’m a criminal, I still have human rights, right?”

“You can’t torment me just because I’m single; 1 haven’t done anything to any of you.”

“Can we save this conversation for later? This lovey-dovey talk is making me nauseous…”

The man spoke with a woeful expression.

As soon as he finished speaking, both Su Xuan and Zhao Ruoxi were taken aback. Zhao Ruoxi blushed even more and abruptly stopped her incessant chatter. She avoided eye contact with the two of them.

Su Xuan, on the other hand, rolled his eyes in annoyance. He snorted, “What do you mean you haven’t done anything to anyone? Have you forgotten you were trying to extort money from people?”

“Shut up and keep walking. If you don’t speak, no one will mistake you for a mute!”

Su Xuan was truly exasperated. He had been having a pleasant conversation with Zhao Ruoxi, and this guy had suddenly interjected, causing Zhao Ruoxi to pause their conversation.

What a nuisance!

Under Su Xuan’s gaze, the man gulped nervously, trying to act tough.

“Officer, if I’ve made a mistake, I can certainly apologize,” he said. “But all I did was deceive people, it’s not a major offense. You can’t just silence me, right?”

“Besides, if you want to punish me, at least do it through legal means. I can’t handle all the romantic PDA…”

“You have no idea how painful it is to be a single for thirty years…”

The man’s words made Zhao Ruoxi blush even more. If she didn’t have to cooperate with Su Xuan in taking the criminal to the stairwell, she might have run off immediately.

As for Su Xuan, he found the situation rather surprising. He scrutinized the criminal and said with a hint of amazement, “Brother, I can’t believe it. You’re so young, and you look older than thirty years old!”

“Being single for thirty years does sound a bit pathetic!”

The man: ???

“No, couldn’t you tell that 1 was joking about the thirty years? You’re the one who is thirty years old and pathetic! Not me!” The man thought to himself and gave Su Xuan an even more resentful look. He couldn’t believe that he, someone who relied on scams and frauds to make a living, was being judged. In his daily life, he could barely feed himself, let alone support a family. Who would want to be with someone like him?

Single…

That’s normal, right?

Afterward, both of them fell silent and brought the criminal to the stairwell.

Zhao Ruoxi, who had already been quite nervous, didn’t go inside to see the other criminal as she had mentioned earlier. Instead, she blushed and said to Su Xuan,

“Since we’ve reached the stairwell, I won’t disturb you any longer.”

“If we have any issues, you can just message me on WeChat.”

“I’ll, um, be on my way…”

Zhao Ruoxi initially didn’t want to disrupt Su Xuan while he was on duty, but she had come to help him, and they had ended up having a lively conversation along the way. Now, after the other criminal had spoken, she felt even more bashful.

Having finally brought the criminal to this location, Zhao Ruoxi couldn’t even wait for Su Xuan to say anything. She lowered her head, blushing, and walked away with small, hurried steps.

Su Xuan didn’t even have a chance to call out to her.

He could only look helplessly at the criminal who was busy tilting his head to look at the ceiling and twitched the corner of his mouth.

This guy sure knows how to run away quickly. Is he afraid I’ll scold him or something?

Su Xuan pushed him, opened the stairwell’s door, and inside was another criminal waiting. The criminal, squatting on the stairs, turned his head upon hearing the sound.

When he saw the criminal that Su Xuan had just apprehended…

“Hey, isn’t this White Stripe, known in the underworld as the ‘Rogue in the Waves’?”

“You got caught too?”

This time, the pickpocket was genuinely surprised. For thieves like them, getting caught by the police when stealing was expected. But ‘Rogue in the Waves’ earned money through scams, cons, and deceit…

And he got caught too?

Thinking about this, the criminal glanced curiously at Su Xuan, his astonishment growing:

“Man, this cop is something else! If ‘Rogue in the Waves’ got caught, who is this guy?”

Just then, Su Xuan’s walkie-talkie crackled to life.

“Su Xuan, where are you? I’m on my way over now..”
