Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Watching Qian Gui run off, Su Xuan was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t expected this guy to be bolder than the petty thieves he had caught before.

“Can he really get away with this?” Su Xuan muttered to himself.

Evading the objects thrown by Qian Gui, Su Xuan picked up his pace and chased after him.

Seriously, Qian Gui, despite his small stature, was surprisingly fast!

Su Xuan chased him from the second floor down to the first floor, keeping a close distance. Qian Gui dashed into the kitchen, intending to escape through a small door on the side.

Su Xuan squinted, and without hesitation, followed him.

They circled around the school grounds, and Qian Gui, realizing that he couldn’t shake off Su Xuan, decided to make a break for it through the small door.

Su Xuan continued the pursuit.

The gap between them closed as they ran, and Qian Gui could hear Su Xuan’s footsteps approaching from behind. His heart was pounding, and he was on the verge of exhaustion.

Meanwhile, Su Xuan had also begun to pant for breath. He never expected this guy to be so fast. Even with his enhanced physique, he couldn’t catch up easily. Su Xuan couldn’t help but think, “Why waste such speed on a criminal activity instead of participating in the Olympics?”

The more he thought about it, the angrier Su Xuan became. As he watched Qian Gui, who was approaching the school gate, his eyes happened to spot something floating nearby. Without hesitation, he grabbed the object and hurled it towards Qian Gui!

Swoosh!

Out of the corner of his eye, Qian Gui saw Su Xuan’s swift action and was left dumbfounded. Could this policeman have lost his mind? Or maybe he was already insane to begin with? Trying to hit him with a balloon—was there something wrong with his head?

Qian Gui thought to himself, showing no fear, and rolled his eyes before continuing to run. He didn’t believe for a second that a balloon could actually hit him. It was a joke! From that distance, it would be impossible for a balloon to reach him.

Smack!

“Bang!”

The balloon, resembling a hammer, floated gently and landed right in front of Qian Gui. He had no time to brake and was terrified as he watched the balloon suddenly appear at his feet. With a stumble, he fell to the ground and ended up in a comical heap.

Qian Gui found himself in an embarrassing position, head down, his forehead hitting the concrete floor with a solid thud. For a moment, his vision went dark, and he felt utterly disoriented. As he raised himself halfway, clutching his throbbing forehead, the realization hit him—he was still evading police pursuit.

Preparing to get up and continue running, he realized it was already too late. Su Xuan had reached him. In the moment Qian Gui attempted to rise, Su Xuan swiftly executed a restraining hold, and the handcuffs clicked onto Qian Gui’s wrists.

“Click, click!”

With two crisp clicks, Qian Gui’s face turned pale. He knew it. He had been caught. There was no way out now!

At this point, Qian Gui struggled vehemently, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets. He couldn’t fathom how that light balloon had ended up right in front of him.

“You…”

How on earth had this policeman managed to toss such a lightweight balloon right in his path? Qian Gui was astounded. He thought about how the balloon had appeared before his eyes and caused him to tumble head over heels in such a ridiculous manner.

His expression contorted in frustration.

“Damn it!”

Could this be some kind of sorcery? It was just a stupid balloon!

Feeling Qian Gui’s disbelief mixed with fear in his eyes, Su Xuan reached out and pulled him to his feet. Keeping his skills hidden was his forte.

“So, what’s with the balloon? As long as this balloon looks like a hammer, it’s a hammer. My 100% accuracy is no joke!”

“Don’t move!” Su Xuan warned. “Behave yourself and come with me!”

Su Xuan escorted Qian Gui out of the school and found their police car, shoving him inside. Qian Gui, head hung low, knew he had no chance of escaping anymore. He reluctantly accepted the reality and sat in the back seat.

Su Xuan took the seat beside him. Originally, he had planned to enter the school after listening to half of Zhou Qiang’s lecture. However, given the current situation, he couldn’t bring a handcuffed suspect inside. So, he stayed, keeping an eye on things.

He waited for over half an hour. Zhou Qiang, who had taken over the entire lecture while Su Xuan was absent, was on the verge of losing his voice when he finally paused.

He turned to find that Su Xuan still hadn’t returned.

Zhou Qiang took a deep breath, about to pull out his phone to make a call when a water bottle appeared in front of him.

“Officer Zhou.”

“After all that talking, you must be tired. How about a drink of water?”

Seeing that it was his favorite brand, Zhou Qiang put the phone aside for now.

Where had Su Xuan disappeared to for so long? Did he fall into a pit toilet?

Meanwhile, inside the car, Su Xuan was thinking…

Officer Zhou, your speech just now was excellent!”

Zhou Qiang took a sip of water, still wondering where Su Xuan had gone. Suddenly, a voice came from beside him.

He was momentarily stunned, but when he realized what she had said, he immediately blushed.

“Well…”

“Teacher An, do you really think so?”

“I… I might have been a bit tongue-tied when I said that. Personally, I don’t think I did a great job…”

He spoke instinctively.

Teacher An smiled.

“No, Officer Zhou, you did great.”

“Not just for children, even us adults need to be cautious about these things.

Your words just now uplifted our spirits.”

Praised by the girl he liked, Zhou Qiang was overjoyed. What’s more, Teacher An had stayed behind to help him pack up his things. Zhou Qiang took a deep breath.

Even though Zhou Qiang knew that Teacher An didn’t mean anything else, he couldn’t help but feel nervous at this moment. Especially when he heard Teacher An ask about the whereabouts of the other police officer, who should be going to have lunch soon…

Wait a minute.

Where had the other officer gone?

“He said he wasn’t feeling well earlier.”

“Wait, let me make a call…”

Zhou Qiang quickly took out his phone.

Damn it!

Even if Su Xuan had taken a long time, it had been almost an hour. Was he really still in the restroom? Could it be that he had actually fallen into a pit toilet?

“Su Xuan, where are you?”

“I’ve finished my speech here, and it’s time for lunch…”

Finally, Su Xuan in the car received a call from his colleague. As soon as he answered, he heard the voice on the other end.

Su Xuan could tell from his colleague’s confident tone that he must have received encouragement from Teacher An, or else why would he sound so upbeat?

However…

“I’m afraid we won’t be able to have lunch now.”

He sighed as he spoke.

The person on the other end of the phone, Zhou Qiang, was puzzled.

He glanced at Teacher An beside him, furrowing his brow and lowering his voice.

“What happened?”

“You didn’t really fall into a toilet bowl, did you?”

Toilet bowl, your ass!

“I’ve apprehended a suspect, so we need to head back to the station first.”

Su Xuan spoke emotionlessly.

There was a loud “thud” from the other end of the phone.

Zhou Qiang’s phone had dropped..
