Sending the Groom to Jail on My Ex-Girlfriend’s Wedding-Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Regarding the issue of human trafficking, even if Su Xuan and his companion did manage to apprehend the culprits, it was highly implausible for the two of them to immediately head straight to the human traffickers’ lair.

After some contemplation, the pair decided to bring the captured individual to the police station directly.

At that moment, Old Mai was engaged in a heated discussion with Deputy Chief Lin Can.

Today, he had a premonition that his subordinate might bring him some good news once again, but Lin Can didn’t share his optimism.

Yesterday’s success might have been a stroke of luck for Su Xuan, and it seemed unlikely that he could be so fortunate two days in a row.

If that were the case, Old Mai wouldn’t have remained a junior police officer for so many years; he would have been promoted long ago.

“Old Mai, don’t get ahead of yourself.”

“If Su Xuan’s luck today is as good as it was yesterday, I’ll treat you to breakfast for a whole month!”

In front of the entire hall, Lin Can declared.

Before Old Mai could respond, the doors of the police station suddenly swung open, and a familiar police car entered.

At that moment, silence fell over the room.

Officers in the hall shifted their gaze from the car back to Lin Can, who had just spoken.

The reason was clear.

The car that had just entered belonged to none other than Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang, who were on patrol today.

It wasn’t time for their return yet, so there had to be a reason for their abrupt arrival.

Given Su Xuan’s unexpected luck yesterday, an air of tension filled the room.

Could it be that Su Xuan had made another discovery today?

This thought wasn’t confined to the officers present; even Lin Can, who had just made a bold claim, felt a bit uneasy.

And as for Old Mai, he was even more anxious.

He immediately strode forward, leaving the hall and heading toward Su Xuan’s police car.

At that moment, Su Xuan was stepping out of the car, pulling a young man out of the back seat. He saw Old Mai approaching and promptly saluted, “Chief!”

“Yes.”

Old Mai responded in a somewhat distracted manner, his gaze already shifting to the back seat. He casually asked, “You’re back earlier than expected. Did you run out of gas or something?”

Inside, he was eager to inquire whether they had captured another criminal. However, if Su Xuan hadn’t experienced the same stroke of luck as yesterday, his question would have been embarrassing.

For now, Old Mai refrained from speaking further.

“Chief, we’ve apprehended a human trafficker.”

Just then, Su Xuan pulled the young man from the back seat and addressed Old Mai, “We’ve just caught him. His accomplices are unaware of his arrest.”

“Please contact the Criminal Investigation Division immediately to raid their hideout!”

“As for the hideout’s location, he’ll provide the information. This guy wants a reduced sentence…”

Su Xuan’s words came in rapid succession, leaving Old Mai’s head spinning.

Wait, what did he just hear?

“You’ve caught a human trafficker?!!”

Following Old Mai, Lin Can arrived, and upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, he was equally stunned. He immediately turned his gaze to the captured young man, who averted his eyes, seemingly unwilling to meet the gaze of so many policemen.

Though he had anticipated encountering police officers upon arriving at the station, the sight of so many still made him uneasy.

Just then, the car that had come to a halt started up again, its tires screeching as it left the police station compound.

Old Mai and Lin Can frowned.

“Where’s Zhou Qiang going?”

With such a significant development as capturing a human trafficker, shouldn’t he step out of the car and report to them?

“When we apprehended the human trafficker, he had a child with him.”

Su Xuan spoke up, guiding the captive forward, “Due to the involvement of drugs, we brought the suspect here first.”

“Zhou Qiang has taken the child to the hospital. They’ll conduct tests and bring the results directly.”

Upon hearing Su Xuan’s explanation, everyone present was astonished.

“What?”

“They had a child with them!”

Being in the police force for an extended period exposed officers to all sorts of criminals, but human traffickers and drug lords were the two most despised by all officers.

“Let’s put that aside for now.”

Old Mai’s expression grew solemn.

After all, he was the chief, and he had numerous considerations. Now that Su Xuan’s team had apprehended a criminal, if they didn’t move quickly, other criminals might flee once they realized what had transpired.

Apprehending them later would become much harder.

“I’ll contact the Criminal Investigation Division right away.”

“You’ve done well this time. I’ll remember your contribution!”

Old Mai patted Su Xuan on the shoulder and then strode toward his office, saying, “Take the suspect to the holding cell.”

“Yes, Chief!”

Su Xuan promptly agreed, urging the uncooperative young man into the police station. The latter followed, subdued.

“Alright, wait here.”

“If anyone comes to question you later, just cooperate.”

With that, Su Xuan was about to leave.

The young man hurriedly spoke up, “Um…”

“Officer, I really appreciate your help!”

He didn’t forget the favor Su Xuan had done for him by speaking on his behalf earlier. However, despite his gratitude, Su Xuan didn’t seem interested in receiving it.

Since he had already promised to help, he thought he might as well follow through.

Yet, when it came to these human traffickers, Su Xuan personally disliked them.

“No need to thank me. Just remember to tell the truth.”

With those words, Su Xuan turned and walked out.

**[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully apprehending the criminal! You have earned 500 points!]**

The system’s voice sounded, leaving Su Xuan momentarily taken aback.

Including the points from capturing this human trafficker, he now had a total of two thousand points.

These points…

They were already enough for him to have a good time in the system’s store.

But he had used up the first five hundred points he earned when capturing Zhao Dongqiang, so he currently had only one thousand five hundred points on hand.

Su Xuan stared at the bottle of simple potion that could improve his physique. He looked at it for a while but didn’t make a move.

After all, the intermediate potion cost only two thousand eight hundred points.

He had nearly half of that now.

He just needed to save a bit more to be able to buy the intermediate one!

Thinking about the ‘Iron Hammer’ in his hand, Su Xuan felt he could still manage to scrape by.

For the time being, Su Xuan abandoned the idea of shopping in the store. Considering the time, Zhou Qiang should have returned by now. He lifted his foot and returned to the hall.

Hardly had he returned when he was surrounded by a group of people.

“Damn, Su Xuan, your luck this time is incredible.”

“You managed to catch even such a big fish.”

“Unbelievable. If you can follow the trail and nab a few more gangs, you’ll hit the jackpot by year-end!”

“True, just think about it. Zhou Qiang is the one who’s truly fortunate. He’s riding the money train with you!”

“Damn it, now that you mention it, I feel so envious…”

…

The people crowded around Su Xuan, launching into a discussion. Su Xuan wore a helpless expression.
