Chapter 95: Catching Thieves, He’s a Professional!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
On one side, Captain Liao had already set off, while on the other side, Su Xuan and his team encountered a new situation.
Those criminals, perhaps fueled by alcohol, started to wander around the store.
Fortunately, during this time, a few more customers arrived at the restaurant. What was initially a small hot pot chicken restaurant with only two tables in operation now had two additional tables occupied.
This made Su Xuan and his team blend in better with the surroundings.
At this moment, two of the criminals, large men, walked casually towards the restroom, with their arms around each other’s shoulders.
If it weren’t for Su Xuan’s gaze, which had been intentionally or unintentionally fixed on them, he might not have noticed these two men stealing something from the pocket of a young couple sitting at the adjacent table.
With the stolen items in hand, they left the table without hesitation and headed towards the restroom.
Su Xuan remained unusually silent.
As he suspected, these individuals were likely of the thief king caliber…
Their pickpocketing skills were truly impressive!
Su Xuan knew that they couldn’t take action right now; they had to wait for Captain Liao’s backup.
Putting aside their robust builds, just the sheer number of criminals made Su Xuan and his partner, Brother Zheng, no match for them…
A head-on confrontation was definitely out of the question.
But…
Watching these two guys directly steal a bunch of money from the young couple nearby, Su Xuan could even hear the couple getting excited about buying their wedding jewelry – it’s the money pooled together by the parents of the bride and groom to let them buy the wedding jewelry they like. However, it had been stolen by these two thief kings without anyone noticing.
Even when the two of them took action, the other one would provide cover!
Absolutely disgraceful!
Calculating the time, if not mistaken, Captain Liao’s team should have already set off. It will take them at least half an hour to arrive…
They can’t make any hasty moves right now…
However, just at that moment, Su Xuan suddenly heard one of the criminals going to the restroom telling his companion that he was going to relieve himself and then head to the airport because there was no fun in eating here…
Su Xuan:… This guy has some nerve!
This thought flashed through his mind for only an instant before Su Xuan made a decision.
Now that the two criminals have gone to the restroom, the other three criminals at the table are still eating and haven’t paid any attention to their two companions going to the restroom.
If he can handle the two criminals inside at this moment, it will be easier to deal with the three outside later…
With this in mind, Su Xuan already had a detailed plan.
He took a sip of water, put his phone in his pocket, and walked towards the restroom, saying, “I can’t hold it anymore; I need to use the restroom. You go ahead and eat…”
Without waiting for Zheng Wenjie to react, Su Xuan’s figure disappeared from the dining hall and entered the small corridor leading to the restroom.
Zheng Wenjie didn’t have time to shout at him, so he could only reluctantly pick up a piece of chicken and take the opportunity to eat several pieces.
“This guy, I finally treat him to a meal, and he’s still being polite!”
“This whole chicken, does he expect me to finish it all by myself?”
“Hmph, he’s had quite a bit to drink, and he’s not even staying to finish the meal…”
He muttered under his breath, then ordered a few more dishes and stirred them with the communal chopsticks. He picked up his phone and started scrolling through videos, eating while pretending to be engrossed.
This act didn’t attract the attention of the criminals over there.
Meanwhile, Su Xuan had already entered the restroom.
As soon as he entered, he saw two men standing at the urinal, pulling up their pants. They glanced at him casually when they heard him come in but quickly averted their gaze.
However, Su Xuan could feel that in the instant he walked in, the seemingly casual glances from these two men had already given him a thorough once-over. They probably thought there was nothing worth stealing on him, so they didn’t pay him any mind.
Su Xuan took out his phone and entered one of the cubicles.
The two criminals were positioned at the entrance. They would spot him when he entered and again when he left. Not to mention that these two were burly and strong; in a direct confrontation, he would definitely lose.
So, the only option was a silent, surprise attack!
With just a single glance, Su Xuan had already made up his mind.
He looked at the Hundred-Percent Accuracy Hammer still stored in his system backpack, took a deep breath, and directly retrieved it.
On the other side, the two men were completely unaware, too preoccupied with mocking Zhou Qiang.
“You know, what’s the deal with this guy suddenly showing up from nowhere?” one of the men began.
“I heard that recently, they’ve been cracking down hard on prostitution and illegal activities in his city. Is he scared?” He spoke with an air of arrogance, mixed with a touch of disdain. “It’s just a random inspection; what’s he so afraid of?”
“He actually traveled all this way just to escape over here. Does he think we don’t know he’s running away?”
“Tsk! Zhou Qiang has really become more timid as he gets older…”
“If it were back in the day…”
Before the burly man could finish his sentence, his companion was already at a loss for words.
“Alright, alright. I know you had some conflicts with Zhou Qiang in the past.”
“But that’s all water under the bridge now.”
“However, the fact that he’s managed to run over from there suggests that their operation there must be significant!”
“I just wonder if our Xiangjiang City will also have a major operation. I’ve heard that quite a few people have been arrested here these past few days.”
“A few of my men have already been arrested. How about you?”
Hearing his companion’s words, the big man who had spoken earlier paused for a moment, then immediately shook his head.
“Why haven’t 1 heard about this?”
“Did your people get caught because they’re too dumb?”
“Our anti-pickpocketing team here, don’t you know about them? If they want to catch us, it’s wishful thinking! With their methods… 1 once swiped a pair of handcuffs from one of their teams, and they didn’t even notice! They think they can catch us?”
Hearing this, his companion breathed a sigh of relief.
That makes sense.
If the anti-pickpocketing team here had the capability, they would have caught them long ago…
“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about it. We’ll be leaving soon. Since someone’s treating us, you wouldn’t want to pass up a free meal, would you?”
“Yeah…”
As they spoke, they began to prepare to leave.
Hearing their movements, Su Xuan knew it was now or never.
He clenched the hammer in his hand and swung it aggressively toward the two men nearby.
His Hundred-Percent Accuracy Hammer indeed struck the person he aimed at with each swing.
However, he could only hit one person at a time.
So, as the hammer flew out, Su Xuan lunged forward himself.
He targeted the big man near the door, while his companion was a step behind. The big man who was hit by the hammer didn’t even have time to react. He was struck at the back of the neck, his vision went black, and he collapsed!
The big man that Su Xuan had his sights on was startled. He was about to speak when Su Xuan pounced on him, delivering a punch to his face..
