Chapter 55: Does the Law Agree to Resign?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After the other party took out his identity card, Su Xuan realized that this young man was really young.
He was only 22 years old.
It could be said that life had just begun.
If he ended up in the police station with a criminal record, his life would probably be ruined.
However, Su Xuan could not let him go just like that.
Gazing at the conflicted young man before him, Su Xuan’s expression was far from pleased.
“You’re a 22-year-old, able-bodied young man. There are so many things you could be doing. Why resort to something as sneaky as this?”
“Fortunately, you were caught by me this time, so it’s still only ‘attempted theft.’ If I hadn’t intervened, you would’ve become an actual thief by now.”
That said, attempted theft is still a crime.
“Officer, 1 know 1 was wrong!”
“My grandma is the only family i’ve left. If 1 had known that my grandmother’s health was so bad, I definitely wouldn’t have gone to school.”
“Half a year ago, when 1 came back from school, my grandmother, who was always healthy in my impression, suddenly fell ill.”
“The expenses in the past six months have used up all the money in our family.”

His voice broke as he spoke, “The hospital sent another payment notice today. I didn’t know what to do… 1 hesitated, 1 really didn’t want to do this, but if 1 don’t, my grandmother will die.”
He lowered his head, visibly ashamed. Being a college graduate, he knew very well that his actions were wrong. But like he said, he felt he had no choice. If he didn’t act, they’d be kicked out of the hospital, and his grandmother would truly be at risk.
Hearing this, Su Xuan’s expression didn’t improve. Even in his own heart, the feelings were complicated.
Yes, the young man was in the wrong, no question about that. Yet, it wasn’t entirely incomprehensible for a 22-year-old facing financial hardship and having an elderly relative in need of significant funds to entertain some less-than-noble thoughts.
When Su Xuan thought of this, he sighed.
He immediately called Tian Gencui and asked someone to take this young man away. At the same time, he said,”Brother Tian, this child is still young and has committed an attempted crime. Let Old Mai know.”
“Let’s see if we can…”
Tian Gencui was the same as Su Xuan. They were both shocked by this child’s youth and the reason why he wanted to commit a crime.
“I understand.”
Like Su Xuan, Tian Genchui was also taken aback by both the youth and the circumstances that led this young man towards criminal intent.
“I understand,” Tian Genchui said. “I’ll take the kid back with me. As for you, don’t push yourself too hard if you don’t find any more suspects. You’ve already caught enough criminals for one day.”
Tian Genchui was well aware of Su Xuan’s uncanny knack for nabbing offenders but hoped he wouldn’t go too far.
Goodness! Su Xuan had already caught several criminals just this morning, this young man making it five in total. Was he actually planning to raid an entire den of thieves?
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan’s thoughts drifted back to the old man he had encountered earlier. He waved his hand dismissively and gave a shy smile.
“I got it, Brother Tian. Go on, you take care of things.”
With that, Su Xuan waved goodbye to Tian Genchui and quickly disappeared from sight.
Tian looked at the retreating figure of Su Xuan, his eyebrows raised slightly, before turning to the young man. “Alright, let’s go.”
“Officer, is there really no way you could let me go? I don’t want to go to the police station,” the young man hesitated.
He was only in his twenties, so he was naturally very nervous when he had to go to the police station. After all, his life had just begun and he had just graduated from school.
However, Tian Gencui was not as easy to talk to as Su Xuan.
It was not like he had never encountered such a young criminal before. When he heard the young man’s words, he immediately said with a straight face.
“Since you knew that this was wrong, you insisted on doing it.”
“Since you’ve committed a crime, you have to go to the police station!”
“As for what happens next…”
“Let’s wait in the station.”
After Tian Gencui said this, the young man didn’t dare to say anything more.
He could only follow him to the car with a proud face.
On the other side, Su Xuan had no idea what had happened to them after he left.
He went straight in and went straight to the old man.
Sure enough, the old man was still sitting in the waiting area of the ticket hall, his eyes moving back and forth between the several trains.
He was obviously thinking about where he should go.
Su Xuan could guess what the old man was thinking when he saw his actions. He immediately wanted to go up.
At this moment, the old man suddenly stood up.
Su Xuan froze, thinking he’d been spotted. He was about to look for a place to hide when he noticed the old man heading straight for an ATM in the corner of the ticket hall.
Was he withdrawing cash?
The old man mumbled something under his breath. Su Xuan was too far away to hear him clearly, so he turned to his internal assistance system for help.
The system could still discern spoken language from a distance and told Su Xuan, “The suspect is saying that he has picked his next destination and plans to withdraw some money for settling down there. Considering his age, he’s thinking of retiring from a life of crime.”
Su Xuan was baffled.
Retiring from a life of crime? As if his police uniform would ever agree to that.
With that thought, Su Xuan walked straight up to him. The old man didn’t notice Su Xuan’s approach. After withdrawing a bundle of cash from the ATM, he stuffed it into his backpack, patted the bulging bag with a look of satisfaction, and turned to buy a train ticket.
That’s when a voice rang in his ear.
“Wow, that’s a hefty amount you’ve got there. Looks like you’re set for life!”
The sudden voice startled the old man, sending chills down his spine. His body even shuddered.
He quickly turned around to find a man in his twenties standing beside him, eyes fixed on his backpack.
A wave of fury washed over the old man’s face.
“What’s it to you how much money I have?”
“Are you planning to rob me or something? Let me tell you, there are plenty of people around. One scream from me and you’re done for!”
“Now get lost!”
The old man clearly knew his advantage.
He said proudly and zipped up his bag again. He patted it again and turned around to leave.
However, from the corner of his eye, he saw Su Xuan’s hand in his pocket. At this moment, he was pulling it out a little.
The silver handcuff was revealed.
The old man was speechless.
He had miscalculated.
This was actually a cop!
After coming to his senses, the old man turned around and was about to run. He had only taken two steps when Su Xuan grabbed one of the bags and pulled it back for him.
The old man was speechless..
