Sending the Groom to Jail on My Ex-Girlfriend’s Wedding

Chapter 74: You’re in your twenties, and you still have the nerve to pretend to be young!?

“Uncle, what are you doing?” The child glanced at Su Xuan, then at the silver bracelet on his wrist. He looked up, his eyes filled with childlike innocence. “Do you want to play with me?”

“Sure, let’s play together…” the child continued, preparing to run. “How about a game of hide and seek? You can be the seeker…”

Before he could finish speaking, Su Xuan had already lifted him up and grabbed him.

Staring at this child who was clearly pretending to be innocent despite his age, Su Xuan’s expression turned cold. He held the child firmly and retrieved the stolen items from the old woman’s bag.

“You’re caught red-handed. Don’t even think about running!” Su Xuan said sternly. “You may be small and have a baby face, but you can’t fool me. Behave and don’t move!”

With that, Su Xuan shackled the other end of the bracelet onto the child’s opposite wrist, his tone icy.

The child hesitated for a moment, feeling a sense of dread.

Indeed, this child was not a child at all but a perpetually young dwarf named Chen Yu. Despite his young appearance and ample collagen, he was in his twenties and had successfully stolen many items by taking advantage of his youthful looks.

Later, he was introduced to the high-speed railway station, where he believed he had found his paradise. Every day, he could easily find things to steal here. After all, who would suspect a child of his age?

This time was no different. The old lady had money in her possession, but it was well hidden. Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to attempt a theft, but he pretended to be a lost child, lured the old lady closer, and swiped her wallet!

Thinking about the bulging wallet he had just obtained, Chen Yu felt utterly satisfied.

He believed this haul could sustain him for several days. However, he never expected to be caught, especially by an undercover officer!

Chen Yu couldn’t understand how his disguise had been exposed. But now wasn’t the time to dwell on that. He needed to escape from this situation as quickly as possible!

Seeing Su Xuan in plainclothes, Chen Yu’s eyes flashed with panic, and the next moment, he started shouting at the top of his lungs.

“Help! Someone is trying to kidnap a child!”

“Help me, 1 don’t know him…”

“He’s a bad person, he said he wanted to find my mommy, but 1 don’t have a mommy, 1 don’t want to find her, waaaah…”

A piercing cry rang out, instantly attracting the attention of many people.

Chinese people are generally kind-hearted, especially when it comes to child abduction, they cannot tolerate it. After all, everyone has children, and if their own child were abducted, it would be heart-wrenching.

Seeing Su Xuan with the child in his hands, many people believed Chen Yu’s words. Suspicion filled the gazes fixed on Su Xuan, and some even moved closer, ready to intervene.

“Who is this person? Could he really be a child trafficker?”

“Most likely! Didn’t you hear the child crying and saying he doesn’t know him?”

“With so many people here, how can they let a child wander off like this?”

“What should we do now? The child is crying so loudly, but we don’t know if what he’s saying is true. Should we call the police?”

“Yes, but what if it turns out to be just a misunderstanding?”

Whispers filled the air, and nobody dared to approach. Even those who had initially attempted to take the child away were pulled back, standing at a distance and watching Chen Yu’s commotion and Su Xuan’s actions.

Su Xuan hadn’t anticipated that the criminal’s mind would work so quickly. His expression twitched, and he reached out to grab Chen Yu. “Stop making a scene! If you dare to shout again, I’ll have you arrested!”

“I’m from the Anti-Pickpocketing Squad, so behave yourself!”

As soon as Su Xuan mentioned the Anti-Pickpocketing Squad, the criminal, who had been causing a commotion, suddenly fell silent and stood there in a daze.

The Anti-Pickpocketing Squad?

He had already figured out that there were only a few members in the

Anti-Pickpocketing Squad, and none of them were as young as Su Xuan. So, Su Xuan…

Could he be a rookie who had just joined the squad?

Realizing this, Chen Yu, who had been shouting earlier, immediately sealed his lips.

Su Xuan didn’t want to reveal his identity at this moment either. He sneered and said, “Alright, you brat! You accused me of being a kidnapper, right? Fine!” “Come on, get out of here. I won’t bother with you!”

“Remember, without you, I’d live a more comfortable life…”

With that, Su Xuan tossed Chen Yu to the ground and walked away without a backward glance!

Of course, Su Xuan didn’t actually leave. What he wanted was to clear up the misunderstanding before leaving. Before departing, Su Xuan leaned in and whispered something in Chen Yu’s ear.

“Do you see the shirt I’m wearing? The recording device is on.”

Chen Yu:…!!!

“Wow, Dad, don’t abandon me…”

Chen Yu wasn’t really a child; he was just a dwarf who stole things by taking advantage of his youthful appearance. His mentality wasn’t that great. Upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, he realized that even if he wasn’t caught now, he’d probably be caught in the future.

He might even become a wanted criminal…

Sometimes, you have to be cowardly when the situation calls for it.

As expected, Su Xuan’s footsteps came to a halt.

When the onlookers saw this scene, they shook their heads and felt relieved that they hadn’t approached earlier…

Seems like there was a father-son quarrel going on!

“This child is really something… Actually mistook his own father for a child trafficker…”

“Yeah, fortunately we didn’t rush over just now. Otherwise, it would have been embarrassing…”

“Oh my, in situations like this, it’s better not to interfere… Luckily, 1 followed someone’s advice and didn’t go up there. Otherwise, I might have thrown a punch…”

“Ouch! He really doesn’t understand anything…”

“That’s right, if I were the father, I’d definitely give him a good slap!”

“Tsktsk, he’s too narrow-minded…”

Many people watched as Su Xuan returned to pick up Chen Yu and couldn’t help but murmur to each other.

Especially those who had considered approaching earlier; they breathed a sigh of relief. They had come dangerously close to throwing a punch…

Seeing Su Xuan carry Chen Yu back to the elevator, everyone soon treated this incident as a minor episode and quickly moved on.

Before long, Su Xuan had taken Chen Yu to the rest area.

Just as they arrived, they coincidentally encountered Captain Liao, who had also apprehended a criminal. When Captain Liao saw the child in Su Xuan’s arms, he was momentarily puzzled and then said, “Is this… a lost child? The child should be taken to the broadcasting room. Why did you bring them here?”

Captain Liao discreetly pushed the criminal he was holding further inside, feeling a bit smug. After all, Su Xuan was under his command. If they came to the high-speed rail station today and he didn’t catch a single criminal, what face would he, as the team leader, have left?

Finally catching a criminal after much effort, Captain Liao also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as he uttered those words, he heard Su Xuan say, “Captain, you’ve misunderstood.”

“This isn’t a lost child; it’s a criminal.”

Captain Liao, who was about to call for backup: ???

What did you say?!
