Sending the Groom to Jail on My Ex-Girlfriend's Wedding

Chapter 39: Cold Beauty, Zhao Ruoxi!_1

However, little did they know that even the leadership of the Municipal Bureau was shocked by Old Mai's stroke of luck.

Who could have anticipated that Old Mai, a mere chief at a small police station, would have such exceptional talent under his command?

In just a few short days, their Jiangcheng Police Station had captured numerous criminals, each one individually capable of astonishing the whole city!

And this time, if it turned out that the suspect caught by Su Xuan had indeed committed the crime, it would be a major case that would shock the entire nation!

Upon receiving the update from the Criminal Investigation Division, it wouldn't be long before this suspect became a confirmed criminal.

How could the leadership of the Municipal Bureau not hurriedly make a call to offer comfort and, in a way, prepare Old Mai and Su Xuan for what was to come?

After the call from the Municipal Bureau's leadership ended, Old Mai's face displayed sheer delight. He instantly turned to Su Xuan and proudly said:

"Su Xuan, you've truly made a great contribution this time. The Municipal Bureau has already stated that once this matter is confirmed, you'll be awarded a First-Class Merit!"

"My goodness, that's like having two Second-Class Merits combined!"

"Today is really a great day. Alright, after we finish work tonight, no one should leave. I'll treat everyone to dinner..."

Old Mai spoke joyfully.

It's important to note that achieving commendations as a grassroots police officer is no easy feat. Even a Third-Class Merit requires outstanding performance or significant contributions to earn. Second-Class Merits demand even greater contributions and remarkable career achievements to receive recognition. Not to mention a First-Class Merit...

Old Mai had been a station chief for so many years and had only received a few Second-Class Merits.

Yet, Su Xuan, in such a short time, managed to earn two Second-Class Merits!

Of course, this was due to his direct apprehension of the serial killer suspect. If it was confirmed that he was indeed the criminal, it would be a groundbreaking news that would rock society!

As the one who captured this criminal, Su Xuan would gain significant influence, a true exemplar!

The few station chiefs fell silent for a moment upon hearing this. They exchanged a glance and then each rolled their eyes at the still bragging Old Mai. Don't think they didn't notice this guy showing off.

"Hehe, there's really no need. If I have this time, I might as well go back and train those youngsters under me..."

"Exactly! Next time, it might be my subordinates who receive the Municipal Bureau's commendation. Just you wait!"

"Damn, some people really have thick skin. What does the personal commendation from the Municipal Bureau have to do with him being a station chief? How can he be so cocky..."

"Still talking about dinner? Ugh, I'm afraid he'd even brag about last night's leftovers. Forget it, forget it, let's get out of here..."

The group of station chiefs spoke as they left the small garden.

Staying any longer, they feared they might actually reach out and throttle this cocky guy!

As they watched the group depart, they couldn't resist taunting him a bit, but Old Mai wasn't the least bit upset. In fact, he cheerfully called them back to join him for dinner...

Even after receiving a few scathing glares, he didn't seem to mind. He turned around happily to look at Su Xuan, his eyes revealing his unhidden joy and nostalgia.

"I have to say, you..."

"I gave you time off to go on a blind date, but instead, you managed to stumble upon a suspect. What kind of luck do you have?"

"Could it be that you actually stumbled upon a hornet's nest?"

"However, this time, you've truly hogged the limelight! If those two commendations come through, your name will be known within the Municipal Bureau..."

"I wonder how long you'll stick around at the station..."

As he spoke, Old Mai patted Su Xuan on the shoulder, sighed, and was about to continue when he suddenly realized—

"Damn it! Wait, what about your blind date?"

"If she comes and doesn't find you, won't she think you stood her up?"

..

My goodness!

In his excitement, he completely forgot that Su Xuan had come here for a blind date.

By now, the agreed-upon time with the woman had long passed. If she thought Su Xuan deliberately stood her up, things would get awkward.

"Hurry up, send a message to your blind date and ask if she's here..."

"And you should head back now; leave everything here to us!"

Old Mai said, pushing Su Xuan forward, "Get going, get going!"

He was shooed away like a chased chicken.

Su Xuan: …

Just a moment ago, he was your precious one, and now he's being shooed away like a chicken...

Old Mai, you're so double faced!

Although Su Xuan felt speechless, he quickened his pace. He knew he had to hurry over.

While there was a reason for his delay, being late was never a good thing. He decided to send a message to his blind date quickly and make his way there.

Thinking this, Su Xuan took out his phone.

However, as he emerged from the small grove, he spotted a stunning woman sitting in the cafe across the street from where he had been. She was dressed in a tight-fitting skirt with a small blazer, sipping on a cup of coffee. She rested her chin in her hand, looking bored. From Su Xuan's angle, he could only see her profile, but he knew that she must be the blind date arranged by the station chief.

Putting away his phone, Su Xuan walked over.

Entering the cafe, he realized the woman was even more beautiful up close. Even in this fleeting glance, he could sense her perfect beauty. Despite her attire that of a businesswoman, there was an inexplicable touch of coolness.

She was the epitome of an aloof beauty!

"Hello, I'm Su Xuan. I'm sorry I'm late."

Su Xuan spoke as he had already walked to the other side of the woman, wearing an apologetic expression.

Upon hearing his words, the woman, who had been looking out of the window, turned to him. She gave him a quick once-over and her expression soured a bit. "You're Su Xuan?"

Su Xuan nodded, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

"It's not a big deal, after all, it's a blind date. If you're not interested, you can just tell me directly. We can go back and say we didn't find a match and be friends," the woman said, extending her hand. "I'm Zhao Ruoxi, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you," Su Xuan shook her hand and then took a seat. "Some things came up earlier, judging by what you're saying, are you not interested in this blind date?"

Hearing this question, Su Xuan actually felt a bit relieved.

After all, he wasn't really looking for a girlfriend at the moment. Besides the fact that he had just transmigrated, even considering the original host had recently been dumped, it wouldn't be a good idea to find a partner now.

In response, Zhao Ruoxi said, "I'm in a rising phase in my career right now, and I don't want to complicate things with a relationship. But my family has been pressuring me too much, so that's why I'm here for this blind date."

"I'm sorry for wasting your time."

Zhao Ruoxi's words made Su Xuan regard her in a higher light.

To be honest, he admired women who prioritized their careers. "No, no, actually, I also want to focus on my career. Since we both have that in mind, it's even better!"

Hearing Su Xuan's response, Zhao Ruoxi also felt relieved.

She was worried that her blind date would turn out to be someone clingy!
