Chapter 11: Who else but him would be caught?
In this moment, Old Mai couldn't help but wonder if he was seeing things wrong.
Could it be that he was mistaken, seeing the fugitive he had been contemplating how to catch just a moment ago, now standing right in front of him...
And not only that, he was handcuffed and being held by his own officers... The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
Old Mai was utterly dumbfounded. The reprimanding words he had been about to utter were thrown out of his mind. In a daze, he stepped forward, hesitated, and began to speak...
"This, this isn't that..."
"The fugitive on the run for robbery and murder..."
"I'm not mistaken, right? This isn't the fugitive who stole something on the high-speed train and fled with the money for the escape fare, is it?"
"How did you catch him?"
"Or is it just a resemblance..."
Old Mai even began to doubt whether he was so obsessed with apprehending the fugitive that he now saw every criminal as him...
Otherwise, how could things have worked out this coincidentally?
He had just received the final order from the higher-ups in the bureau and was about to mobilize all officers in the city for a manhunt. And now, this guy had been apprehended...
And the one who caught him happened to be one of his officers?
This realization left Old Mai dumbstruck. He was so overwhelmed that his body even trembled with excitement.
He walked briskly, carefully observing Gao Qi. The more he looked, the more Gao Qi resembled the fugitive he wanted to catch...
At this moment, upon hearing the director's words, Su Xuan also nodded earnestly, saluted, and said,
"Report! This is the wanted fugitive Qi Gao, who three months ago assaulted people and stole valuables on a train when the high-speed train stopped."
"This time, he changed his identity in Jiangcheng and now goes by Gao Qi."
"We've verified it, and the identity indeed belongs to Qi Gao!"
Upon hearing Su Xuan's words, Old Mai immediately grew ecstatic. He even broke into an almost ecstatic expression on his face!
I can't believe it!
He had just agreed to this task, and now it was already successful...
What kind of luck was this? Did he step on dog poop and get lucky?
All the worries about losing to the Qianxi Police Station that he had before were instantly swept away!
Damn it!
He had actually captured this fugitive now. He couldn't possibly lose to them no matter what!
After all, even if the Qianxi Police Station performed well in terms of accomplishments, they wouldn't match his overwhelming achievement!
With these thoughts, Old Mai couldn't contain his joy and burst into laughter right there.
He patted Su Xuan's shoulder, laughed heartily, and exclaimed, "Great! Great job!"
"You guys did well this time! To catch fugitives who've been on the run for three months... Unbelievable..."
"This time, you all deserve credit! Add a point to the record of everyone involved!"
"I'll also work on getting you commendations and bonuses from the bureau! Hahaha..."
"Who would've thought? We've caught him so quickly... I wonder how that stubborn old man will try to compete with me this time..."
Old Mai was thoroughly delighted.
He was even generous with the scores in his hands, willing to grant points to everyone who participated!
After all, this accomplishment was something worth being joyful about for him as well, without a doubt!
The police officers standing on the side were astonished. Especially those who had just come out of the station, upon realizing that Su Xuan's group had received bonus points, their shock intensified...
Wait...
That Su Xuan, who wanted to run away after suffering from emotional trauma, not only came back but also caught a fugitive, and on top of it, managed to obtain a point from the stingy director...
This luck, this efficiency...
It's like he's not even human.
"Damn, what kind of luck does Su Xuan have? He gets emotionally hurt and still manages to catch a fugitive..."
"Could it be a case of love life being down but career being up!?"
"If that's the case, I might as well try to get into a relationship, get my heart broken, and who knows, I might self-improve as well..."
"Come on, even if you improve yourself, can you catch a fugitive who's been on the run for three months?"
"That's definitely not possible... It has to be Su Xuan!"
"Haha, did you see Old Mai's attitude before? If it weren't for this fugitive, he would have left with an upset stomach..."
"His attitude now is completely different! Wow, he went from being reprimanded to getting bonus points..."
"I envy it so much! Why wasn't I the one who went out with Su Xuan today..."
With these envious remarks from the officers, the ones who had accompanied Su Xuan outside also wore pleasantly surprised smiles.
You see, their director was known to be extremely miserly...
He wouldn't easily hand out points, even if he had a few to spare.
Moreover, Old Mai was not only affable but also kept a tight grip on work-related matters. Earning extra points from him wasn't easy at all!
Yet, in this case, they had only apprehended a single fugitive and had extracted so many points from him...
One point per person!
And there were several of them!
Realizing this, the officers directed their eyes towards Su Xuan with a tinge of gratitude.
After all, it was Su Xuan who had remembered this fugitive and insisted on leading them to catch him...
Originally, they thought that even if they got penalized after bringing him in, they'd bear it as a team.
But unexpectedly, not only did they escape punishment, but they also gained bonus points!
Thrilling!
Soon, Old Mai realized the situation too.
Upon learning that Gao Qi was Su Xuan's ex-girlfriend's current husband, and that they were even holding a wedding banquet today, Old Mai couldn't help but glance at Su Xuan.
Damn it!
Such a convoluted and complicated path...
As a fugitive, he even intended to find a woman and marry her openly and grandly...
What's more terrifying was that he had even chosen a police officer's ex-girlfriend...
Who else but him would be caught?
It's no wonder Su Xuan could apprehend a fugitive. It was like dozing off and finding a pillow.
A guy who stole the ex-girlfriend and might be a fugitive?
Who else but him could catch him?
"Since that's the case, just take him into custody."
"Later, you'll come with me to make a statement."
Old Mai immediately took Gao Qi away for interrogation. Su Xuan's team wasn't on duty, so their coming and going didn't matter.
Just before leaving, Old Mai patted Su Xuan's shoulder. "Good lad, I've got my eye on you! Keep up the good work!"
Clearly, he had also heard the police officer's words earlier about Su Xuan's situation — the downturn in his love life and the rise in his career.
And he believed it wholeheartedly!
After all, before this, Su Xuan's performance was just average in terms of accomplishments. At most, he was a competent officer...
But to say that he had achieved something?
That was really nonexistent!
But then, this time, when it came to apprehending the fugitive, it was Su Xuan's quick thinking that recognized the resemblance between the fugitive's face and a person he knew, and he executed the plan without hesitation...
Such a standout performance, how could it not be a sign of a flourishing career?
It was only at this moment that Old Mai realized he had such exceptional talent under his command!
Incredible!
He had almost overlooked it before...
No, from now on, he had to nurture Su Xuan well. Such a fantastic opportunity couldn't be wasted without achieving more accomplishments!
