“Hey, buddy, I’m talking to you.”
“Could you please be a bit more polite?”
“If you stay silent, you might regret it.”
The man grew irritated as Su Xuan remained quiet for a while.
He continued, “Don’t think you can fool me by staying silent.”
“I’ve been watching you for a while. You walked in without buying a ticket, didn’t try any free activities, and just hung around…”
“And your eyes have been fixed on that couple over there…”
“Let me tell you something! That guy over there doesn’t look like he has much money. Don’t be fooled by his pretending to be rich. Every time he spends money on tickets, he unconsciously rubs his pockets… It’s a classic case of acting wealthy when you’re not!”
“If you’re targeting that guy…”
“Well, I’d say your chances of catching anything good are pretty slim!”
People often say that thieves have sharp eyes. If they lock eyes with you in a crowd, they can tell if you’re one of them.
There was a time when Su Xuan didn’t believe in this.
But now, looking at the man beside him, Su Xuan suddenly thought it might not be impossible.
It’s just that…
This guy’s judgment might not be too reliable!
Su Xuan was about to speak when the man abruptly said, “Okay, considering you’re new at this, you probably haven’t been in this business for long.”
“Let me tell you, this is my territory.”
“I’ll give you a chance now, leave!”
“Otherwise, don’t be surprised if I don’t play nice!”

Before the man could finish his sentence, he felt something cold on his wrist.
He opened his mouth and looked down at his wrist in surprise.
He saw that there was now an extra silver bracelet on his wrist!
The man: ???
“You…”
“You… are…”
“A cop!?”
Su Xuan: Shh!
“Keep your voice down.”
“I’m on a mission right now. If you expose my identity and the mission fails because of you, you won’t be able to compensate for it!”
After Su Xuan’s stern warning, the man’s face turned bitter.
He wore a face like a bitter melon, unable to help himself from speaking.
“Mr. Policeman…”
“Since you’re on a mission, how about you let me go and we call it even?”
“We both know this encounter isn’t easy, right?”
“If you release me now, 1 promise I won’t interfere with your mission!”
“I swear!”
However, as soon as the man finished speaking, Su Xuan rolled his eyes.
Even though he hadn’t been in the Anti-Pickpocket Unit for long, he had caught quite a few criminals. He had heard this kind of talk countless times before.
Naturally, he couldn’t trust this guy’s sweet talk.
Su Xuan firmly grabbed the man’s other hand and took off his jacket, putting it over the man’s hand. He patted the thief’s shoulder and spoke in a friendly tone.
“It must be tough wandering around in the wind and rain every day, huh?”
“Don’t worry; I’m going to treat you to a meal you won’t miss out on!”
The arrested pickpocket:…
This officer is going to take me to eat prison food if he keeps talking like that.
He doesn’t need to make it sound so nice…
Su Xuan didn’t care what the man was thinking. He immediately called Zheng Wenjie.
In the Anti-Pickpocket Unit, Su Xuan was more familiar with Zheng Wenjie and Zhang Chenglong.
However, Zhang Chenglong often worked at the airport, which was quite a distance from their location. Su Xuan didn’t hesitate and chose to call Zheng Wenjie.
When Su Xuan called Zheng Wenjie, it surprised him a bit.
“Su Xuan?”
“Why are you calling me now?”
He recalled that Su Xuan was supposed to have been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Unit by now, so getting a call from him at this moment was a bit strange.
“Zheng, I’ve got a theif to deliver some performance credit to you!”
Su Xuan, still on surveillance duty, didn’t waste any time and quickly explained the situation. Hearing that he had been threatened by a small-time thief who mistook him for a rookie thief, Zheng Wenjie was both amazed and found it funny.
“Hahaha!”
“Are you telling me that a pro thief-catcher like you got mistaken for a newbie thief?”
“Could it be a punishment for catching too many thieves?”
“Too hilarious, you, a thief-catcher…”
Zheng Wenjie couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Seeing that Su Xuan seemed somewhat annoyed by his words, he cleared his throat and got back to the main point.
“Where are you right now?”
“I’m coming to pick you up!”
After Su Xuan gave his location, Zheng Wenjie quickly arrived at the amusement park. It was quite a coincidence that he happened to be at the nearest subway station.
After working alongside Su Xuan for a week catching thieves in the subway, Zheng Wenjie hadn’t changed his mind even when Su Xuan went to the airport. He continued to work diligently in the subway.
Whether it was due to his own skills or because Su Xuan had nearly caught all the thieves in the subway, after Su Xuan left, Zheng Wenjie could count the number of thieves he caught on one hand.
“You have no idea, but when you left, I felt like I was someone without insurance.”
“Working with you felt really comfortable.”
“So comfortable that after enjoying lavish meals for a while, suddenly switching to plain congee and vegetables felt a bit hard to bear…”
Zheng Wenjie chatted with Su Xuan.
However, their conversation ended there.
Zheng Wenjie wasn’t naive. He could tell that Su Xuan wasn’t coming over just to boost his performance.
Taking the arrested person away now would also allow Su Xuan to continue working without worries.
Before leaving, he made a deal with Su Xuan. Once Su Xuan had some free time, Zheng Wenjie planned to treat him to a meal along with Lao Zhang.
After all, Su Xuan had helped them earn quite a bit in terms of performance!
“Alright!”
Su Xuan knew there was no need to be sentimental about this kind of thing.
He immediately nodded.
“Sure, I’ll give you a call when I’m free.”
“Let’s set a time!”
Hearing this, Zheng Wenjie nodded immediately.
While pulling the thief along, they headed out.
With a casual wave of his hand, Su Xuan said, “Alright, I won’t disturb you here.”
“We’ll make plans for later!”
“Let’s go!”
“Behave yourself, come with me!”
Zheng Wenjie immediately pulled the thief and ran. The thief had been silent, just listening to their conversation, not daring to say a word.
It was only after they exited the amusement park’s gate that the thief couldn’t help but ask Zheng Wenjie, “Officer, wasn’t that officer from the anti-theft squad just now?”
“From the way he apprehended me, I thought he was one!”
Seeing how quickly the officer had acted, he had assumed that Su Xuan was from the anti-theft squad!
Zheng Wenjie didn’t answer but instead gave him a stern look.
“Shut up!”
“Some things you shouldn’t know, and you shouldn’t ask too many questions.”
“Come with me!”
