Chapter 68 -68: Five Little Hoodlums
Li Weonian calmed down the crowd of furious elders who were shouting for the police to catch the small-time delinquents and throw them in prison.
Five small-time delinquents hobbled in, shrinking their heads, not daring to look up.
University Road Police Station
A group of police officers stared at the five small-time delinquents squatting in a row with their heads in their hands, feeling incredibly angry inside.

Decent people not doing decent work, insisting on engaging in petty thievery.
“Slap—”
“Come clean!”
“Confess for leniency, resist and be dealt with severely.”
The five small-time delinquents squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands shook with fear.
…
Susu glanced at the door from time to time, seeing that the man hadn’t come back yet, she couldn’t help but worry a bit.
“It serves them right to be caught.”
“Indeed, look at them, none of them are old. Plus, I see them almost every day when I pass by.”
“Lucky that the policeman noticed in time, otherwise if the house got robbed that day, would have cried to death.”
Two customers said while picking up their dishes, “Boss, make it mildly spicy, and bring another four buns.”
“I heard you talking about the police, what happened just now? It was all noisy outside.”
Susu, with a smile, gave the two customers their change, and curiously asked.
“Boss, you don’t know?”
“Just now outside, a policeman just laid out five delinquents flat, tied them up and took them all to the police station.”
“I’ve seen those five boys quite a few times, definitely up to no good. We still have to thank the alertness of our comrades in the police!”
The three people in the kitchen heard the conversation and Xian Yue, worried, ran out.
“Sister Su, it wasn’t my second cousin who caught them, was it?”
Seeing everyone looking at her worriedly, Susu forced a smile and reassured them not to worry.
But her own heart was all over the place.
Wondering if this man got hurt or not.
University Road Police Station
The five small-time delinquents identified themselves one by one.
The leader with yellow hair was named Chen Pishi, considered the head of the small gang.
The fierce-looking bald youth was named Niu Dazhuang.
The lean one with a stunned expression was named Er Lengzi.
The wild-haired kid was called Ah Huang, and the other with long hair was called Da He.
They all lived not far from the vicinity, and seeing the business doing well in the store,
were short of money and started thinking about stealing from the place.
Luckily they were caught in time, and no loss occurred.
The delinquents, feeling guilty, did not dare to look up, listening to the admonishment from the police officer, Li Weonian.
…
“How come you just got back? You’re not hurt, are you?”
Susu anxiously circled around the man, checking him over, and finally heaved a sigh of relief seeing that he was alright.
Lu Xiaoting helped his wife sit down on a stool, “Don’t worry, I am not hurt.”
“How can I not worry?”
Susu, sitting in the store, listened to the exaggerated stories of the customers coming in, and her heart began to worry gradually.
Going up against five alone, what if he encountered some reckless individuals and got hurt?
Frowning, “So what exactly happened?”
Now that the mealtime rush was over, there weren’t many customers in the store, and the few employees looked over worriedly.
Lu Xiao simply recounted the causes and consequences of the incident, frowning as he mentioned the five delinquents.
“Since these five have not yet committed a substantive crime, only harbored ill intentions, the police station can only detain them for a few days as a warning.”
The cleaning lady exclaimed “Aiyo,” slapped her thigh, and looked worried.
“What do we do then? What if those guys come out and target our store again?”
“Yeah, big brother, what if those guys take revenge on us?”
Xiao Long and Da Niu huffed with indignation, necks rigid, “If they dare come, we’ll fight them to the end.”
“No need to worry, first of all, a few delinquents looked like they had more bark than bite, having thieving thoughts but lacking the courage.
Secondly, the Police Station is taking this matter very seriously and intends to set an example. They will step up patrols in the area.”
As Lu Xiaoting’s deep voice sounded, the unease and anger of the few men were immediately quenched, and they felt much more at ease.
Susu also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing those who had nothing to lose.
She scolded the two apprentices with annoyance and coldness.
“How many times have I said it? When you encounter trouble, if you see you’re no match and stand to lose, run away immediately.
Why are you shouting about knocking people down again?”
The two young men scratched their heads in embarrassment, feeling they couldn’t let their good boss suffer losses.
Seeing that they still hadn’t taken her words to heart, Susu’s small face fell a few notches.
“If I find out that you’re trying to show off against others, pack your things and leave. I don’t need disobedient people here.”
Hearing they might be sent away, the two were scared, quickly thumping their chests and swearing promises.
Susu lifted her eyelids and glanced at them, “Alright. I’ll see how you perform.”
“Thank you, Sister Su, we will certainly take your words to heart.”
…
Lu Xiaoting watched as his wife, with a tender little face stiff from the cold, gently instructed the people in the shop, a smile curling at the edge of his lips.
“What are you smiling at?”
Susu turned her head to meet the man’s teasing gaze and, annoyed, raised her little fist and smashed it against the man’s chest.
“Hehe…”
The man chuckled, his usually stern face softened with unspeakable tenderness.
“You…”
Lu Xiaoting grasped his wife’s slender hand and whispered, “My wife is really cute!”
Susu: “…”
Several days passed.
The Police Station’s officers were patrolling the area, and sometimes, coinciding with meal times, they would come to eat at the shop.
As a result, the locals all knew that the shop owner’s wife’s man was a policeman.
Some kids who previously were rowdy and didn’t eath properly became very well behaved as soon as they saw the large-brimmed police caps.
“If you don’t eat properly, I’ll call the owner’s wife. Her man is a policeman. Let the police arrest naughty kids.”
“No, no!”
The little bald boy shook his head like a rattle and promptly sat properly, eating quietly.
Susu witnessing all of this: “…”
“Aunt, is your back uncomfortable? Let me rub it for you.”
Xiao Yu, noticing that Aunt kept pounding her back with her fists, immediately stretched out his little hands to rub and pound.
Every now and then he would ask, “Aunt, is this the right amount of strength?”
The child was only seven years old; how strong could he be?
Whenever this happened, Susu would always nod with a smile, showing a face that seemed eased and relaxed.
“Boss, your son is really filial.”
“Well, he is.”
Xiao Yu’s little face was flushed, and with pursed lips, he showed a shy smile.
…
Lu Xiaoting was in front, with Xiao Yu and his wife behind him, his sharp eyes catching sight of a few familiar figures.
The bicycle slowed to a stop as his gaze met with those who looked up.
“Lu, Lu, Lu Gong’an?”
A few men huddled at the street corner under the wall nervously swallowed their saliva.
Their eyes darted around in a panicked flurry.
“What’s up?”
Susu leaned forward to take a look and saw several men trembling, not sure if it was from the cold or from fear.
“What are you doing here?”
