Just as Lü Guangchen was quickly leaving, the two policemen gradually approached Xu Yu. When they were about twenty meters away, they exchanged a glance, both with a sinister smile in their eyes.
However, just as they were about to rush forward, the taller policeman suddenly said, "Wait."
His words immediately made the policeman beside him pause, and then they also noticed a figure rapidly approaching in front of their target. As the figure drew closer, the one who hadn't moved much before clearly showed signs of moving.
Could he have accomplices?
The thought flashed through their minds. Both policemen were slightly surprised; Lü Guangchen hadn't mentioned this. However, if the other party had accomplices, that would be wonderful.
After all, catching a thief and breaking up a pickpocketing ring, while both are good things for the police, have completely different meanings. Otherwise, they wouldn't have rushed over so quickly after receiving Lü Guangchen's call.
Thinking of this, the two policemen smiled inwardly.
Amidst their smiles, Xu Yu, standing ahead, remained completely unaware that he was being watched. He simply glanced quickly at the figure approaching.
Under his gaze, a strikingly beautiful woman, dressed in light summer attire, tall and with flawless skin and short, ear-length hair, approached him with a delighted smile.
A woman's beauty comes in many forms.
The woman before him appeared to be only in her early twenties, with a flawless, snow-white face and slightly thin cheeks, paired with her neat short hair, exuding a striking youthful beauty.
Beneath her cool summer clothes lay a breathtakingly curvaceous figure; her ample curves, outlined in a seductive arc beneath her light gray vest, led to a pair of long, shapely legs. With each
slight step, her pert, full hips swayed back and forth, instantly drawing the attention of many passersby.
"You're Xu Yu? This is Luo Xinying. Sorry to keep you waiting." Having already confirmed her identity over the phone, Luo Xinying was genuinely excited. When she discovered her wallet was missing, she thought she was doomed, but the other person had unexpectedly called.
"Hehe, it really is you." Xu Yu glanced at Luo Xinying, surprised that she was so much prettier than in the photos. However, she still handed over her wallet, saying, "Take a look, is anything missing?"
Luo Xinying gave Xu Yu another grateful look before taking the wallet and checking. She quickly smiled and said to Xu Yu, "Everything's there. Thank you so much. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."
As she spoke, she took out the cash from her wallet, keeping only one bill for herself and handing the rest to Xu Yu.
Xu Yu paused slightly, then smiled and said, "If I wanted this money, I wouldn't have called you."
He waved his hand and added, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going."
This startled Luo Xinying, who then said anxiously, "How can that be? You've helped me so much, this little token of my appreciation..."
"No need to be polite," Xu Yu interrupted her, turning to leave. Right now, most of his thoughts were still on that strange ability. If he hadn't known the other person was anxious because they didn't have their ID, he wouldn't have stayed here waiting for them.
This immediately left Luo Xinying stunned again.
This guy was truly a strange person.
But then, two shouts suddenly erupted from afar.
"Don't move!!"
"Police!"
The loud shouts startled many people outside the hotel, including Xu Yu and Luo Xinying. They were then astonished to see two men in police uniforms rushing towards them with menacing expressions.
"What's going on?"
A question had barely crossed Xu Yu's mind: why did these two policemen seem to be after him? Before the doubt could even subside, the taller of the two men grabbed a pair of handcuffs and lunged at him.
"Snap!"
Only when the handcuffs were firmly against his arm did Xu Yu realize with horror that these two were indeed after him. However, at that moment, the other man lunged at Luo Xinying, and in full view of everyone, also pulled out a pair of handcuffs and placed them against her wrist.
"Huh?"
"What are you doing?"
The sudden turn of events completely stunned the two men. Luo Xinying even let out a startled cry, her face showing anger.
"Heh heh, what are you doing? You two pickpockets, were you moving stolen goods? Now that you've been caught red-handed, what else is there to say?! Get back to the police station!" To be honest, Li and Yang were slightly surprised. They had thought that after their angry shout, the two would start to run away, but they didn't expect these two guys to just stand there dumbfounded?
Caught so easily?
Of course, even if it was easy, the two wouldn't believe they weren't pickpockets. It was Lu Guangchen, the King of Pickpockets in Ningcheng, who had personally pointed them out to them, so how could it be false?
Although the two were also somewhat surprised, the couple in front of them were not only incredibly beautiful, the woman even seemed to have a touch of nobility, but the man was also incredibly handsome, with fair skin. Although his handsomeness wasn't the kind that immediately amazed people, like dazzling sunshine, it was more like a spring breeze, easily giving people a good impression silently.
But the two also knew that the more thieves there were, the less you could judge them by their appearance. Perhaps it was their striking good looks that led them to become thieves. After all, who knows? To be a thief, you either need to be ordinary—so ordinary you'd blend into a crowd—to make it easier to approach your target, or you need to be handsome or beautiful, easily winning over the opposite s*x and making them less wary, thus facilitating your theft.
So at this moment, neither of them held back, either verbally or physically.
After shouting, they both pushed Xu Yu and Luo Xinying forward with all their might.
"You call me a thief? Are you kidding me? This is my own wallet!!"
Although Li and Yang had already mentally judged the two, their words completely enraged Luo Xinying. A faint blush flashed across her delicate, flawless face.
To be mistaken for a thief and taken away in such a public place would be an unbearable humiliation.
As for Xu Yu, after his initial astonishment, he paused again after hearing their words, then realized that this was the guy he had tricked before, coming for revenge? However, when he hurriedly looked around, he was surprised to find that he didn't see the guy.
"Your own wallet? Hehe..."
The policeman surnamed Yang, who was pushing the two of them, scoffed after hearing Luo Xinying's words. He then opened the wallet, and after glancing at the ID card and several business cards inside, especially the one with Luo Xinying's name on it, he paused slightly before laughing again. "You think you can fool people by throwing away the original owner's ID card and putting your own in? In my opinion, even this ID card might not be real! Stop being so useless, come back to the police station with me!"
Even the policeman surnamed Li next to him laughed at his words. Indeed, they were police officers and knew that some thieves would put their own ID cards in the stolen goods before moving them, so they could use it as an excuse if they were arrested. They had encountered this situation themselves before, so they naturally disregarded Luo Xinying's words.
However, this time, the policeman surnamed Yang's words almost made Luo Xinying faint from anger.
But then, she suddenly stopped talking and just walked forward with her head down. After all, this was a public place, and if she continued like this, it would only attract more attention, and she would really lose face completely. Even without
making a scene, Luo Xinying's face was terribly gloomy.
