The woman hugged the child to her chest, crying with joy, "Good Xiao Bao!"
Chu Xujin shouted, "Arrest them all!"
The old woman, the old man, and the two couples tried to blend into the crowd, attempting to escape out of guilt.
Chu Xujin hadn't specified whom to arrest, but their guilty conscience had given them away, leading to their capture.
The plainclothes constables quickly apprehended the suspects.
Seeing no way to escape, one of the men suddenly turned and grabbed Chu Xujin from behind, holding a dagger to his neck, "Move aside, let me go, or I'll kill him."
As he spoke, he pressed the dagger against Chu Xujin's neck, drawing a line of blood.
Chu Qingzhi, who was showcasing a tray of pearls, picked one up and flicked it with her finger, hitting the man right between the eyes, knocking him unconscious.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
