Chapter 42 - 42: Report! I’m applying to go to the station to rob them!_i
“You’re absolutely right!”
“Having so many thieves around a place like the station is outrageous.”
“When I go back, I’ll talk to our department head about it. We can dispatch a few officers to patrol the station for a week straight in a major operation!”
“Your station should see a significant reduction in pickpockets.”
Su Xuan exclaimed excitedly, speaking with great righteousness. “I’ll apply for it tomorrow!”
Clearly, he had realized the tremendous benefits of catching thieves rapidly for his system’s upgrades.
Previously, when he caught the thieves, he had obtained a lot of experience points. However, this group of thieves was not all in his jurisdiction!
Now, with pickpockets running rampant, he was like a human thief detector in the crowd. No criminal could escape his watchful eye.
Catching a criminal equated to earning points, and after the recent incident, Su Xuan fully grasped the importance of accumulating points.
Not to mention the coveted muscular physique potion he had been eyeing for so long!
He needed to buy it promptly to enhance his physical condition!
He couldn’t bear the thought of encountering a situation like this again, where he didn’t even have the strength to fight back…
If he hadn’t relied on his 100% accuracy hammer the first time, not only would the two girls have died this time, but even he would have died.
His only goal now was to buy that potion first.
If he had more points, he would even want to shop in the system store and buy whatever he could!
It was just that he did not have any points on hand. Otherwise, he could even buy the entire system store!
As Zhao Ruoxi heard this, her eyes also lit up, and she fixed her gaze on Su Xuan, saying:
“Really?”
“This is amazing!”
“I believe in you. With you around, we will definitely catch all those pickpockets and bring them to justice.”
“Then our station will have a much easier time.”
“Keep up the good work! I believe in your abilities!”
Although she had just met Su Xuan, in Zhao Ruoxi’s eyes, he already had the aura of a dependable and upright person.
Of course, this favorable impression was also influenced by his identity.
With a position of authority backing him, she naturally believed that he could live up to the image she had in mind.
It had to be said that Su Xuan’s words had actually earned him some goodwill from Zhao Ruoxi. After finishing the meal, she even asked for Su Xuan’s contact information.
Su Xuan, of course, didn’t refuse.
He thought that Zhao Ruoxi wanted his phone number as a friendly gesture to keep in touch, not realizing that his words had already left a positive impression on the girl.
After the meal, Su Xuan directly dropped Zhao Ruoxi off at her doorstep. This added a few more points to his favor in her eyes.
And so, upon returning home, when her parents inquired about the date, Zhao Ruoxi didn’t object.
“He’s a good person, but I think it’s not the right time for anything more. Let’s see how things develop.”
Although she should have directly refused, Zhao Ruoxi considered that they were not yet friends and that there might be some potential for development in the future. So, she didn’t want to make a firm statement now.
But with just these words, Zhao’s father and mother were already quite pleased.
“That’s alright. You’ve exchanged contact information, and if things don’t work out, you can still be friends.”
Zhao’s mother said excitedly.
Zhao’s father didn’t say much, but he sat on the sofa, his ears perked up, eager to hear more.
There was no choice; they were parents, and they were anxious when they thought their daughter might get into a relationship. But then, they never thought she would be so focused on her studies, and after graduating, she got such a busy job that she didn’t even have time to go out and know new friends.
“Added him. For now, let’s just be friends.”
Zhao Ruoxi knew her parents’ thoughts well, so she immediately said after accepting the transfer on her phone. Upon hearing this, Zhao’s father and mother nodded with great satisfaction, even transferring a thousand yuan to her.
“You’re a young girl; now that your job isn’t so busy, go out and have some fun.”
“Don’t stay home all the time like a recluse…”
Seeing the transferred amount in her phone’s transaction history, Zhao Ruoxi couldn’t help but smile.
“I got it, Dad.”
“Today was quite tiring. I’m going to rest for a bit.”
Saying that, she headed for her room.
Her parents had more to say, but they didn’t object. After seeing their daughter enter her room, the husband and wife immediately huddled together, whispering to each other…
“Dear, what do you think of this guy?”
“Do you think there’s a chance this time…”
“Who knows, what kind of person our daughter is, don’t you know?”
“Let’s wait and see…”
They hoped their daughter would find a boyfriend soon, but when she actually sought one, Zhao’s father couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.
Hearing his wife’s words, he opened his book, answering calmly.
As for whether this young man would eventually win their daughter’s heart and whether he could live up to the expectations Zhao’s father had, well, that remained to be seen.
On the other side, Su Xuan was unaware of the assessment Zhao’s parents had of him, nor did he know that Zhao Ruoxi had already developed a liking for him.
After escorting Zhao Ruoxi home, he promptly returned to the police station.
At that moment, Old Mai and the others had just finished their lunch break, and they were surprised to see Su Xuan returning.
Old Mai was baffled. “I gave you a day off, didn’t I? Why are you back now?”
“Could it be that your blind date didn’t go well?”
Old Mai paused when he said this, thinking that Su Xuan probably wasn’t that kind of person. Could it be related to the criminal they had apprehended today?
“The criminal we caught today has been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Division. Although the leads are a bit complicated, the CID has formed a special task force to investigate. 1 believe they will have results soon, so you don’t need to worry.”
“So, what are you back here for now?”
Old Mai inquired, “What about your blind date? Didn’t she run away for real?”
To be honest, Su Xuan catching a criminal during a blind date was indeed unexpected. But if this incident had led to the failure of his date, it seemed like a bit of a tough break for him as a police officer.
Should they arrange another one for him?
Old Mai had already begun considering potential candidates.
Su Xuan was unaware of the thoughts swirling in his former boss’s mind. Instead, he spoke excitedly, “Chief, I’d like to discuss the possibility of organizing a major anti-pickpocketing operation at the train station.”
“Or if that’s not possible, I’d like to request permission to patrol the station regularly in the coming days.”
“Even station duty would work!”
Su Xuan’s enthusiasm caught Old Mai off guard.
However, it didn’t take long for Old Mai to put two and two together. If he remembered correctly, Su Xuan’s blind date seemed to be someone working at the train station.
With this realization, Old Mai’s eyes twinkled with a touch of amusement..
