Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Come on, Su Xuan, today we have a lecture to give at the school,” said Zhou Qiang.
Even without patrolling, there were still things to do. Su Xuan had slouched for the entire morning, and before it was even ten o’clock, Zhou Qiang had dragged him up.
Zhou Qiang looked at Su Xuan’s condition with some confusion. “You don’t seem right today,” he remarked. “A while ago, you were so full of energy. You even dragged me out for patrol.”
He wondered if Su Xuan had been working too hard for a month and had become exhausted.
Su Xuan rolled his eyes inwardly. “School lecture?”
“Is it our turn to go?” He was genuinely curious, as he hadn’t heard anyone mention this duty being assigned to them before.
In response, Zhou Qiang patted his shoulder. “This responsibility used to be handled by Old Hu and his team. But considering how hard we’ve been working on Zhou Hao’s case, Old Hu decided to pass it on to us.”
He continued with enthusiasm, “Think about it, we get to visit the school, eat school food… Isn’t it great?”
Zhou Qiang emphasized, “We’re still young, you know. We can’t disconnect from society. Going to the school, absorbing some youthful energy-doesn’t it sound wonderful?”
Su Xuan’s hps twitched as he realized something. He blurted out, “Which school is it?”
“Bo Cai,” Zhou Qiang replied.
Su Xuan immediately turned his head to look at Zhou Qiang, a sly smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
Seeing Su Xuan’s reaction, Zhou Qiang’s initially proud expression faded.
“How much did you bribe Officer Hu with for him to willingly hand this over to you?” Zhou Qiang asked incredulously.
Hearing that they were going to Bo Cai school, Su Xuan understood. After all, Zhou Qiang was only a few years older than him and still single. Su Xuan had heard rumors that Zhou Qiang had his eye on a teacher at Bo Cai. He suspected that Officer Hu didn’t voluntarily assign them this task; Zhou Qiang probably snatched it.
Zhou Qiang sighed and patted Su Xuan’s shoulder. He leaned in and whispered, “Come on, man! Give your big brother a break. It’s just one Starbucks. Will you’ go?”
It was clear from his tone that there was an implied “if you don’t go, I’ll go alone” threat.
Su Xuan readily agreed. Why wouldn’t he go when it was an opportunity to indulge in some gossip?
He nodded and said, “Sure, I’ll go.”
Zhou Qiang was satisfied and immediately handed Su Xuan a USB drive. He said, “That’s settled then! I’ll stand in the audience, and you’ll be up on the stage giving the speech. I’ll be watching you, buddy!”
Su Xuan was taken aback.
Later on, at Bo Cai school, which was a prestigious institution in their county, they prepared for the lecture meticulously. This school was known for admitting exceptionally intelligent students, and each student had the potential to become a future leader of the nation.
Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang had put a lot of thought into their presentation. Fortunately, the police had done such lectures before, so they followed the standard procedures. They requested the school to provide a multimedia classroom that could accommodate an entire grade, plugged in their USB drive, and arranged the venue accordingly.
The police were involved in various aspects, and the topics of their lectures varied. This time, they were addressing child trafficking, aiming to provide safety education for the students.
The female teacher Zhou Qiang had his eye on was the homeroom teacher of Class Three in the senior grade. As they stood in front of Class Three, with the students sitting in the front rows, Zhou Qiang’s face turned red.
Seeing Zhou Qiang’s embarrassed expression, Su Xuan, holding the USB drive, couldn’t help but come up with an idea.
-Oh my god, Zhou!” Su Xuan exclaimed. “I can’t take it anymore. My stomach hurts. How about you give this lecture? I need to rush to the restroom.”
Just two minutes before the lecture was about to begin, Su Xuan grabbed Zhou Qiang’s hand and said this suddenly.
Zhou Qiang was originally planning to approach the teacher he liked. However, he was taken aback by Su Xuan’s unexpected request.
“What?” Zhou Qiang asked in confusion.
I can’t believe…,” Su Xuan began, looking at the Class Three homeroom teacher not far away and then at the USB drive in his hand.
Gritting his teeth, Zhou Qiang said, “Alright, go quickly and come back. I’ll cover for you for now. When you return, we’ll switch.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Su Xuan was already clutching his stomach and rushing out the door.
Outside, Su Xuan stood at the door instead of heading to the restroom, watching what was happening inside.
He had only used the restroom as an excuse, and now, seeing Zhou Qiang speaking passionately in front of the teacher he liked, his eyebrows furrowed.
“You see, can’t you handle this yourself?” Su Xuan said with a smile. “If you want to pursue someone, you need to show your abilities, right?”
Su Xuan believed that it was better for Zhou Qiang to handle such a public situation on his own. He wasn’t about to push this onto Zhou Qiang and take a seat next to the female teacher. That would be a joke!
As Zhou Qiang spoke with enthusiasm and the female teacher’s gaze began to change, Su Xuan, gripping the door handle, prepared to enter.
[Ding! Criminal detected, please apprehend quickly!]
The red dot and the system’s voice sounded simultaneously.
Su Xuan, who was about to enter, paused and instinctively looked up. He saw a figure not far away rapidly descending the stairs.
Su Xuan fixed his gaze on the quickly retreating red dot, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp. Without hesitation, he gave chase.
This was a school, for crying out loud! How could there be a criminal here?
As he pursued, Su Xuan felt a sense of astonishment, but he didn’t let that slow his steps. He couldn’t help but wonder what this person was up to inside the school.
He glanced at the charges displayed on the radar.
[Name: Qian Gui, Age: 26, Charge: Molesting Minors.]
Su Xuan:…?
In that moment, when he saw the charge marked above, Su Xuan’s expression turned cold, and his actions became even faster.
What the heck! Molesting minors… Now, they were in a school with so many children around. Considering this guy’s charge, it wasn’t hard to imagine that he might have ill intentions. Moreover, the way he had abruptly turned and fled earlier was a clear sign of haste.
Add to that his rapid escape, and Su Xuan suspected that he had noticed Su Xuan’s uniform and decided to run.
With these thoughts in mind, Su Xuan quickened his pace. He watched the figure dart out of the teaching building.
Su Xuan’s movements down the steps were swift, almost resembling leaps.
Then, he went after the figure without hesitation.
The person, seeing Su Xuan’s pursuit, sped up and darted into a building.
Su Xuan continued his relentless chase. Upon looking up, he realized that this building was the school cafeteria?!
Seeing how familiar the person was with the school layout, Su Xuan had a hunch.
Could it be that this guy worked at the school?
