“No, what are you doing?”
The man, who had been initially stunned, finally reacted and shouted at Su Xuan, “What are you trying to do?”
He assumed that Su Xuan and Zhao Ruoxi were in cahoots.
“What’s going on at this station? You haven’t resolved my issue yet, and you dare to arrest me. What’s this, an illegal detention?”
“I swear, I’ll report you guys now!”
“Damn it, I’ve never seen such an arrogant station manager. I…”
Before the man could finish his sentence, Su Xuan, standing beside him, pressed down on his shoulder and sternly said, “Don’t move! I’m a police officer! Behave!”
As the words fell from Su Xuan’s mouth, the man’s words choked in his throat. He looked up in disbelief, locking eyes with Su Xuan.
Su Xuan slowly spoke, “You wanted to report a crime, right? Well, here I am, a police officer. Tell me, what do you want to report?”
The man:…
When he said he wanted to report a crime, it was merely an attempt to intimidate. Who could have anticipated that a real police officer would appear out of nowhere?

“Officer, my belongings were stolen here, and you should be looking for someone else,” the man said hesitantly. “Why are you detaining me? Release me, and help me catch the thief!”
“I…”
As the man spoke, those present could sense a hint of guilt in his tone. Zhao Ruoxi furrowed her brow, feeling that something was off but unable to pinpoint what it was. She stepped forward and addressed Su Xuan, “Su Xuan, this gentleman lost his belongings here due to our negligence. How about you accompany me to check the surveillance footage? As for this gentleman, he…” “Could this action of yours potentially cause you trouble?” she asked, expressing her concern that Su Xuan’s intervention might lead to unintended consequences.
“No,” Su Xuan replied with a smile, looking at the man as if he were mentally challenged. “Miss Zhao, have you ever heard of the story where a thief accuses another thief?”
Zhao Ruoxi was momentarily perplexed by Su Xuan’s words. She nodded instinctively. “But how does that relate to the current situation?”
She muttered to herself, and before she could finish her sentence, she saw the handcuffs on the man’s wrist. A thought suddenly crossed her mind, and she widened her eyes.
“All!” Zhao Ruoxi exclaimed, pointing at the man in disbelief. “Are you saying this man is a thief? That can’t be true.”
It was unthinkable. If this guy was a thief, why would he dare to show up in front of them and even demand compensation? Was he insane?
“He’s not a thief,” Su Xuan shook his head, dispelling Zhao Ruoxi’s fleeting notion. “He’s a scam artist who specializes in extorting money from you.”
When Su Xuan first saw the man, he was shocked by the Sin Points above his head. After all, he did not understand why the other party would dare to appear at the service desk if he had Sin Points.
However, after spending points to buy a one-time item and checking the man’s criminal experience, Su Xuan was wrong.
In this world, it wasn’t just elderly ladies scamming luxury cars; there were risks of scams happening elsewhere as well. The prominence of the elderly lady had merely overshadowed other types of scams.
The man before him was a professional scam artist who made a living by orchestrating scams. He hadn’t actually lost anything; he had falsely claimed that his belongings were stolen just to demand compensation from the station. This wasn’t the first time he had done something like this.
The sin value above his head was almost 100. It was enough to show how many people he had scammed.
“All?”
Hearing this, Zhao Ruoxi finally reacted. She looked at the man angrily and said,”You, you actually tried to scam me! So your wallet wasn’t stolen?”
Although she didn’t know how Su Xuan knew that this guy was a scammer, Zhao Ruoxi inexplicably believed Su Xuan’s words.
The young lady at the service station also looked at the man in shock.
She was also surprised that someone dared to scam their station. Didn’t they know that there were surveillance cameras everywhere in their station?
“Who said I’m a scammer? Do you believe everything this guy says?”
The man was still a little dumbfounded when Su Xuan exposed his true identity, but he quickly reacted and immediately said.
“Do you think I don’t know whether my wallet is missing or not? Is this how you officials and businessmen conspire against me?”
“Once 1 report your badge number, you’ll be in trouble!”
At this moment, the man was well aware of Su Xuan’s identity. He could produce handcuffs, and he was dressed in plainclothes – he was undoubtedly an undercover police officer. Although he wasn’t entirely untroubled about being apprehended, he wouldn’t reveal his true identity now. After all, he hadn’t brought his wallet with him today, so even if these people searched him, they wouldn’t find a wallet.
Who could prove that he was a scam artist?
Hearing this, Zhao Ruoxi was momentarily intimidated by the man’s words. She looked at Su Xuan with some nervousness and asked, “Su Xuan, are you sure about this? If he’s not guilty, won’t we be detaining the wrong person?”
After Zhao Ruoxi said this, the man smirked triumphantly and fixed his gaze on Su Xuan. He arrogantly said, “Officer, you should release me quickly. If you let me go now, I might consider sparing you. But if you don’t release me, don’t blame me for filing a complaint against you!”
He spoke with such confidence, completely unapologetic.
Su Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle. Since arriving in this world, he had primarily apprehended criminals caught in the act. While some criminals were good at making excuses, this particular offender…
He still had a long way to go!
“Do you really think that checking the surveillance footage will suffice?” he asked.
“Are you under the impression that your actions won’t be visible on the security cameras?”
“If you intend to engage in a scam or extortion, you might want to consider if my handcuffs will permit it!”
With these words, Su Xuan firmly held the man’s other hand, indicating his intention to restrain him.
At that very moment, the man finally grasped that Su Xuan wasn’t an easy mark. Swiftly, he sprang to his feet and made a dash for the exit.
Zhao Ruoxi and the others finally comprehended the gravity of the situation, and they screamed as they rushed toward the fleeing man.
Just in the nick of time, Su Xuan grabbed a nearby book and hurled it at the man’s feet. It struck the man’s legs, causing him to stumble and fall headlong.
Simultaneously, Su Xuan reached the man’s side. As the man went down, Su Xuan deftly pinned both of his hands and proceeded to handcuff him.
“Planning to make a quick getaway?” Su Xuan quipped.
“Better cooperate and stay put!”
