As Su Xuan was about to follow the two individuals who had separated, his shoulder was suddenly tapped.

In a state of nervous tension, he instinctively attempted a takedown…

But his attempt was promptly blocked by the person behind him.

The person who tapped him drew in a sharp breath and hurriedly spoke up.

“Wait a moment, colleague, colleague!”

The voice had a somewhat familiar ring to it.

In the midst of his tension, Su Xuan relaxed his grip.

He turned around and, upon seeing a familiar figure rubbing his wrist with an amazed look in his eyes, he recognized the person.

“S-Su Xuan, I never would have guessed!”

“You look so frail, but you’ve got quite the strength!”

The person speaking was a fellow officer from the Criminal Investigation

Department who had crossed paths with Su Xuan before.

Upon seeing this officer, Su Xuan squinted his eyes.

“Are you here to tail Tang Jiajia?”

“Yes.”

Although Su Xuan had been the one to apprehend the woman, the officer didn’t want to reveal too much information to him.

It just so happened that he had been tailing Tang Jiajia when he noticed that someone else was tailing her as well…

So the officer had come over to investigate.

And to his surprise, it was Su Xuan!

“After Tang Jiajia was taken to our Criminal Investigation Department, she was incredibly tight-lipped.”

“We didn’t have much choice, and we couldn’t detain her for too long, so we let her go.”

“We just didn’t expect to run into you…”

As he spoke, the officer looked at Su Xuan.

“You didn’t follow her because you recognized her as a suspect you arrested, did you?”

“No,” Su Xuan shook his head, “It’s really just a coincidence.”

“I was having a meal with a colleague, and I saw the person Tang Jiajia had met in the condiment area.”

“I felt something was off about him, and just as I was watching, Tang Jiajia approached him.”

The officer raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.

Before he could say anything, Su Xuan had already pulled Zhang Chenglong away.

“Well, since you guys are keeping an eye on her, I’ll leave it to you.”

“I’m on vacation.”

“We’re going to head out,” Su Xuan continued, “We’re not getting involved.”

“It’s been a while since we had a break, don’t you want to go home and see your wife and kids?”

“Actually, I’ve been thinking about going back to my hometown for a visit…”

Zhang Chenglong was momentarily stunned. His mind, previously preoccupied with the possibility of encountering a criminal, suddenly shifted gears.

“That makes sense, you’re right. 1 almost forgot.”

“These recent weeks have been so hectic, my wife is on the verge of scolding me…”

“Today’s a day off for me, so you go take a stroll and I’ll have a chat with your sister-in-law.”

“She scolded me just a few days ago…”

Zhang Chenglong’s words didn’t register fully with Su Xuan. Although Zhang had left, Su Xuan was lost in thought.

Why would the Criminal Investigation Division release Tang Jiajia? Could it really be that simple?

But this thought quickly circled in his mind and was soon dismissed.

Never mind.

Just as he had told Zhang, it was no longer his concern.

As promised, Su Xuan returned to the county town in the afternoon.

Jiangcheng Police Station.

“Talk to me, give me an explanation!”

“It’s been over a week, why are we still receiving reports from the public?”

“Either a chicken is stolen today, or a car is stolen tomorrow…”

“We even have cases of stalking!”

“When will the security in our area improve?”

“Do you know there’s a major operation going on now?”

As soon as he walked in, Su Xuan heard Old Mai’s booming voice echoing throughout the entire lobby. His colleagues stood in the hall, heads hanging low, like a group of defeated chickens.

They exuded an air of despair.

Su Xuan’s movements momentarily stalled as he felt a sudden reluctance to approach. But his hesitation didn’t last long.

Although Old Mai had his back to him, he soon noticed Su Xuan’s presence, facing his colleagues.

Actually, ever since Su Xuan was temporarily transferred, Old Mai’s mood had been quite sour. Moreover, after the major operation, the criminals in their area had become even bolder.

Yesterday, they got two reports in a row, with people saying their stuff got stolen.

This morning, after dealing with yesterday’s reports, Old Mai lost his temper. That’s when this tirade began.

With Su Xuan’s brilliance in the past, they found it hard to replicate the success they had when he was still around.

“I’m talking to you!”

Old Mai noticed that one of his subordinates was daydreaming and realized he had been talking for a while without getting a response. In frustration, he threw his pen across the room.

“I’m talking to you, and where are you looking?”

“Weren’t I in your patrol area yesterday…”

Old Mai, while speaking, turned his head to check for himself. He wanted to know what had this guy so engrossed.

To his surprise, he saw Su Xuan.

Old Mai:…?

“Su Xuan?”

“Why did you come over today?”

“Weren’t you in the city?”

With his capable deputy around, Old Mai didn’t care about the disobedient ones and immediately walked over to Su Xuan.

“At the bureau…”

“I had some free time today and thought I’d come back to tidy up.”

“I happened to pass by the station, so I thought I’d drop in.”

Saying this, Su Xuan offered some of the milk tea he was holding.

“Guys, it’s been a while since we met. Let me treat you to some milk tea!”

Lately, they had been working tirelessly, and the police officers hadn’t had much to eat or drink. When they saw the milk tea in Su Xuan’s hand, their eyes practically turned green.

They looked at Old Mai with hope.

Old Mai, despite his earlier irritation, couldn’t help but feel for his subordinates. When he saw them gazing at him expectantly, he reluctantly said,

“Alright!”

“Don’t act like I’m some stingy boss…”

“If you want some, help yourselves!”

Serving not too long at the station, Su Xuan returned home and tidied up his place.

It had been just about half a month since he had arrived here from his time travel. Despite that, Su Xuan was starting to feel a sense of belonging to this home. However, he didn’t plan to stay long.

After all, he had to continue working at the Anti-Pickpocketing Team tomorrow. Su Xuan finished cleaning and prepared to head back to the city area.

This time, he planned to drive there.

He had often relied on his colleagues’ cars at the Anti-Pickpocketing Team, but since he had the chance, he decided to drive himself.

However, before Su Xuan could set off, his phone rang.

On the other end of the line, Old Mai, with a slightly serious expression, looked at the two men standing in front of him.

“Su Xuan, are you still in the county?”

Su Xuan furrowed his brow slightly.

“Yes, I’m here, Old Mai. Is there something wrong?”

“All!”

Old Mai sighed and said, “There’s actually something I need you to come over for.”

“Some colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Department are here, and they say they need your cooperation for an operation.”

“I don’t have all the details right now, so you’ll have to come over first…”

Su Xuan: ???
