Upon hearing this, Su Xuan just modestly smiled, touched his nose, and glanced down at his already dirtied pant cuffs, feeling somewhat vexed.
"I was just in a rush, and my grip slipped."
"I didn't even think I could actually land a hit..."
"But now, I might not be able to continue chasing thieves; I'll have to head back and change my clothes..."
"This guy has stained my pant cuffs all red; it's frustrating..."
Thinking about it was infuriating.
Su Xuan contemplated that perhaps he wouldn't be able to continue apprehending thieves in his current attire.
"Change clothes for what?!"
"Do you still want to keep going?!"
At that very moment, the panting captain of the Anti-Pickpocketing Team finally arrived.
En route, he had received a separate message from Chief Zheng and was genuinely alarmed when he heard about Su Xuan's actions.
