Chapter 109: You’re Welcome, Let’s Talk at the Bureau!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this moment, the elevator had reached the first floor. As the indicator lights blinked twice, the elevator doors opened, and a group of hurried passengers stepped out, clearly in a hurry.

The beggar, dressed like a homeless person with one leg awkwardly bent, knelt on the ground. In front of him was an empty porcelain bowl.

He was obviously seeking money from passing travelers, and he was staring intently at the elevator going up. He held the bowl tightly, as if he planned to ask for money from passengers when they came down.

Even though most travelers were in a rush, many of them couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. Most people at the airport carried some cash, and they generously dropped coins and bills into his bowl—ones, fives, tens, and even fifty-dollar bills.

Some more generous people even tossed in fifty-dollar bills.

Whenever money went into his bowl, the beggar would bow repeatedly, thanking the donors profusely and gently knocking his forehead as a sign of gratitude. If Su Xuan hadn’t noticed the small knife in his hand had already sliced into the purse of one woman, it would have been quite convincing.

These airport criminals were indeed unique!

They could even pretend to be beggars to steal money.

They would bow and beg just to make some cash.

With such talents, why resort to petty crimes like theft?

Su Xuan was speechless.

He watched as a woman, still full of sympathy, placed a fifty-dollar bill in the beggar’s bowl, completely unaware that her purse had been tampered with, and her cash had swiftly found new owners among the crowd.

Once the beggar had achieved his goal, he wasted no time. He lifted the now-filled bowl, thanked everyone, and took a few steps back, obviously preparing to make a quick exit.

Su Xuan couldn’t stand by any longer. He took a few steps forward and firmly grabbed the man’s wrist. The beggar was visibly surprised, but when he saw Su Xuan, he put on a fawning expression and said, “Kind sir, please be generous…”

Clearly, he had mistaken Su Xuan for a gullible benefactor.

Su Xuan smirked inwardly, grabbed his wrist, and pushed him into the elevator. Fortunately, apart from the group of passengers who had just disembarked, there weren’t many people waiting to get on the elevator.

Upon witnessing Su Xuan dragging the beggar inside, the passengers wore displeased expressions. However, before they could say anything, Su Xuan brought back a female passenger who had clearly been frightened by his actions and was now eager to join the gossip.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

The beggar finally sensed something was wrong. He struggled to resist, but the elevator had already begun its slow ascent.

Seeing this, the beggar’s face quickly changed.

“Let me go!”

“Who are you? You’re robbing a beggar, for heaven’s sake! Have you no shame?”

“Help! Someone, help! This guy is trying to rob a beggar!”

With these words from the beggar, Su Xuan was immediately labeled as a robber trying to steal from a beggar. People still had consciences and a sense of justice.

Hearing the beggar’s plea and seeing his one-legged condition, many people’s perceptions of Su Xuan shifted. They had initially thought he looked handsome, but now, it seemed he was acting like an animal, robbing a beggar of all people.

“Young man, what are you doing?”

“This poor young man is already in a bad state, and you have the nerve to steal from him? You’re heartless!”

“And you dragged him in here…”

The woman who had been pulled into the elevator by Su Xuan voiced her disapproval.

She hadn’t had the chance to figure out why Su Xuan had brought her inside, but witnessing the beggar’s pitiful appearance had softened her heart. In this situation, it indeed appeared that Su Xuan’s actions were utterly heartless.

“This is too much.”

The woman came over to Su Xuan’s side to separate him from the beggar.

Upon hearing the woman’s words, the beggar also started pleading.

“Yeah, I’m just a beggar with hardly any money. If you want it, you can take what’s in there…”

“Young man, I have difficulty walking. Please let me go…”

At this point, the beggar was still trying to play the victim. However, before he could finish his sentence, Su Xuan expressionlessly took out handcuffs and, in front of everyone’s eyes, clasped them around the beggar’s wrist.

The beggar:…

The woman who had been about to rescue the beggar: ???

At that moment, the beggar tensed up completely. He suddenly raised his head, looking at Su Xuan in disbelief, and blurted out a profanity.

“Darn, you’re a cop!?”

He couldn’t help but notice the exquisite handcuffs with a chain in the middle in Su Xuan’s hand. Even if he didn’t want to recognize Su Xuan’s identity, it was impossible not to!

The woman who had been intervening earlier also froze in place, unable to believe her eyes.

The other passengers in the elevator, seeing Su Xuan’s actions, expressed astonishment. Looking at Su Xuan again, they no longer found him detestable. In that moment, a saintly aura surrounded Su Xuan.

It was the aura of a policeman!

Realizing Su Xuan’s identity, the people inside the elevator suddenly found his previous actions that seemed unreasonable now making perfect sense.

“I was wondering why he pulled that guy in all of a sudden. So, he’s a cop.”

“Look at this young man. He must be undercover.”

“Young man, what did this guy do? Wait, so, this guy is a criminal? I gave him fifty bucks…”

“This young man, so young, and he’s gone down the wrong path! He did something that got the cops after him…”

Hearing this, Su Xuan glanced at the woman who had stiffened up due to his previous actions. He reached into the beggar’s sack and pulled out a bag of money. “Stealing right in front of me, you’ve got quite the nerve!”

“Behave!”

“I’m from the anti-pickpocket team!”

As Su Xuan took out the money, the passengers inside the elevator were bewildered.

Su Xuan then approached the woman. “Ma’am, is this your money?”

“Next time, be more careful and don’t leave your wallet where others can reach it so easily.”

Hearing Su Xuan’s words, the woman hesitated for a moment. She subconsciously checked her purse, and her expression changed briefly. Then she smiled at Su Xuan.

“Yes, it’s my money. Thank you! I had no idea when he stole it. These thieves are despicable!”

Other passengers chimed in.

“Good job, officer!”

“So, he’s actually a thief? Such a young guy, why turn to theft?”

“Pitying someone isn’t always right; it serves him right for breaking his leg!”

“This is truly despicable. So much money… How much was stolen? Must have hurt a lot!”

“Young lady, please take your money.”

“So much money, and it’s fortunate that the police officer here helped you recover it!”

“Yeah, what would we do without him…”

Amid the passengers’ conversations, Su Xuan walked toward the woman.

The woman’s gaze flickered briefly, and she immediately put on a smiling face as she addressed Su Xuan.

“Officer, thank you so much for your help.”

She was about to take the money.

The next moment, a cold and gleaming handcuff snapped onto her wrist.

Su Xuan smiled. “You’re welcome. Let’s continue this conversation at the station..”
