At this moment, the thieves were still somewhat shocked.

They had no idea how the police had located their hideout. Moreover, judging by the scale of the operation, it seemed like a massive force had been deployed.

Clearly, the police had known about their hideout beforehand.

Could it be that someone had betrayed them?

In reality, all the thieves were feeling extreme fear at this point.

They were just small-time thieves, so why were so many police officers dispatched? And there were even armed officers present!?

What was most terrifying was that the ringleaders who had initially tried to escape found themselves cornered, with guns being pointed at their heads.

Thinking about it was terrifying enough.

But the thieves were too scared to voice their thoughts. With so many police officers around, if they dared to say a word, a gun might be pointed at their heads the next second.

Their fear of firearms was deeply ingrained, and even the thought of them made them tremble.

Who would dare to provoke that?

“Nice job, kid.”

Amidst the thieves’ fear, a voice suddenly sounded, and it was actually one of the police officers patting Su Xuan on the shoulder.

“Your idea was a good one. As long as we stay here, the other thieves will walk right into our trap.”

“Think about it, we’ve already managed to apprehend a whole group so quickly. It’s much easier than catching them on the streets.”

“Yeah, you definitely deserve credit for this!”

“Su Xuan, you’ve hit the jackpot!”

Upon hearing these words, Su Xuan felt a bit embarrassed.

He modestly shook his head.

“Oh, it’s not that big a deal. Achieving this success is a collective effort.”

“I’ve just caught a few people, that’s all.”

“I alone couldn’t have caught so many thieves.”

“It’s all thanks to our captain’s strategic planning that we were able to catch so many thieves!”

As he spoke, he was telling the truth. After all, he couldn’t have captured so many people on his own. If he had tried to handle this hideout alone, he might have ended up captured himself.

Executing an operation like this required a collective effort to achieve a commendable outcome.

He alone wouldn’t be of much use.

Hearing Su Xuan’s words, the others exchanged glances and felt pleased.

It didn’t matter whose idea it originally was, now that the operation had been executed, everyone deserved credit!

Even so, these folks still envied Su Xuan.

After all, regardless of the starting point, he was definitely going to get a lion’s share of the credit.

And he had also apprehended those two criminals earlier. His end-of-year bonus was sure to be substantial.

As the group of police officers waited for the thieves to return and fall into their trap, they discussed matters of credit.

The nearby thieves were left feeling frustrated.

Well, isn’t that just great? They were only good for exchanging their actions for achievements in this world?

After all, they had been small-time thieves for so many years. Couldn’t they at least discuss about it behind their backs?

Of course, even if they felt frustrated, they didn’t dare to voice their complaints.

Finally, the police personnel stayed there for a whole half day, arresting more than a dozen thieves and eventually taking them all to the police station for detention.

Considering that the whole series of events had been triggered by Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang catching the thieves, the system directly awarded Su Xuan points for his performance.

Su Xuan glanced at the points that had already been credited in the system and felt a tinge of frustration. “Good Lord! Accumulating these points is so challenging. We’ve caught so many thieves, and it’s still not enough.”

“However, it’s true. These thieves are at most just swindlers, sneakily stealing things.”

“The total points aren’t even enough for what I had before!”

“Oh well. The points aren’t enough, but I can earn more later.” Su Xuan was an easy-to-please person. Even if he didn’t have enough points now, he could slowly accumulate them, right?

Initially, Su Xuan had been tempted to try buying the potion to enhance his physique, but now, seeing how difficult it was to accumulate points, he had to let go of that idea.

Forget it. He couldn’t afford the potion with his current points. Maybe he should try the roulette wheel again?

After all, the previous attempt with the roulette wheel seemed to have gone pretty well!

This thought merely flickered in Su Xuan’s mind and was quickly dismissed.

No!

Damn it, he had worked so hard to accumulate these points. He had almost a third of the points needed to buy that potion, and if he lost everything in a roulette spin now, he would have to start earning points all over again…

Thinking this through, Su Xuan reluctantly closed the system’s store.

Poverty made him rational.

“Su Xuan, come over here.”

Just at that moment, a voice suddenly came into his ears.

Su Xuan turned his head and saw that it was his immediate superior, Old Mai, standing not far away, waving him over.

Although Old Mai was dressed in a police uniform, the way he waved felt like the Big Bad Wolf.

Subconsciously, Su Xuan swallowed hard. “Uh… Chief, do you need something from me?”

After following Old Mai to the office, Su Xuan asked.

Old Mai was standing under the table. When he heard his voice, he immediately turned his head and sized him up.

“Su Xuan, your luck these days is indeed pretty good.”

“First, you caught two Class-A wanted criminals, then you caught human traffickers.” Old Mai sighed as he mentioned this.

Setting aside other matters, even he couldn’t help feeling a bit envious of this luck. “And now, because of the thieves you caught, we’ve directly dismantled a criminal den.”

“You’re our station’s pride.”

Old Mai didn’t hold back his praise.

Su Xuan felt a bit embarrassed. This was the first time someone had praised him like this. “Chief, it’s just something I should do.”

“Right.”

Old Mai nodded, then took out a letter from his desk and handed it to Su Xuan. “Actually, I called you over today because someone asked me if you’d be willing to go on a blind date.”

Su Xuan had been planning to open the envelope and see what was inside, but upon hearing this, he suddenly looked up, unable to believe what his superior was saying.

“What did you say…”

“A blind date!?”

Su Xuan immediately rejected the idea. “I’m not going! Are you kidding me?”

Seriously, what kind of joke was this?

It had only been a few days since the original host had been forced to break up, and even Su Xuan had only been in this world for a matter of two or three days…

He hadn’t even established a good relationship with this world yet. The fact that he could catch thieves was already amazing. Going on a blind date was out of the question!

“Sorry, Chief. The blind date, maybe we could just forget about it…”

Trembling, Su Xuan was about to put the letter back in Old Mai’s hand. “You also know that I just broke up with my girlfriend not long ago. If I were to go on a blind date now, it would be a kind of sacrilege to my previous feelings.”

There was nothing else to do. Su Xuan had to resort to bullshitting…

But in the end, he still couldn’t escape the attack of the blind date: “Give it a try. It’s just a blind date. If it’s not a good match, you can just say so.”

Su Xuan: …
