Chapter 103

### Chapter 103: How Will You Prove You're a Police Officer? Seeing Su Qi’s pitifully big eyes staring at her, Guo Huangting's heart almost melted. From the moment she lifted Su Qi's hood, Guo Huangting felt that this little girl was adorable. But now, with that expression, it was almost unfairly cute. Guo Huangting was a rather cold person and not someone who typically pampered children. However, for some reason, she felt a soft spot for Su Qi. She shot an annoyed glare at Lin Hao, who was still squatting in front of Su Qi like an idiot. Only then did he reluctantly step aside. Su Qi felt slightly relieved as the bear-like man moved away from her. Moreover, more people were starting to pass by. No matter what, these two wouldn't dare to abduct her in broad daylight in front of so many witnesses, right? Su Qi’s heart settled down a bit. Guo Huangting sensed that Su Qi's body wasn’t as tense as before and felt both relieved and puzzled. Why did this little girl seem like a small hedgehog sometimes? Truth be told, a woman’s ability to be approachable is often stronger than a man’s. Although Su Qi knew the two were together, she felt more at ease with Guo Huangting than with the bear-like man. At least there wasn't a sense of oppression. “So why were you following the two of us?” Lin Hao looked at the delicate Su Qi, feeling somewhat speechless. Why would a normal girl dress so strangely? Seeing Su Qi tense up again at Lin Hao's question, Guo Huangting silently kicked him. Didn't he know to calm her down first before questioning her? A little girl’s psychological resilience isn't that strong. Su Qi’s guarded look made Lin Hao, a policeman, feel exasperated. He thought if he were a bad guy, he would've grabbed her multiple times by now. How could she still be standing here unharmed? If it were himself in this situation, being coerced by two people, first, he would shout to attract more onlookers. Then, he would damage some private property like smashing a car, making the owner confront the criminals, forcing them to leave quickly. But Su Qi avoided all the right actions. She didn’t scream and only accurately called the police at the beginning. Yet when describing her location, she mentioned a 'big' tree—Who knows which tree is 'big'? She also provoked the criminals and was now negotiating with him, one of the supposed criminals. However, one can't deny, the little girl’s face was quite pretty, attracting a crowd of onlookers around her. Even some elderly ladies agreed with Guo Huangting’s critique about his size. Lin Hao was speechless. How was it his fault he looked so big? Which police officer was especially frail? And shouldn't his muscular build with abs be appealing to girls? Why did it turn into something to mock? This contrast left Lin Hao somewhat speechless. He took out his police ID along with Su Qi’s phone and handed them over. “This is my police ID. You can check it for authenticity. Just now, I found you very suspicious, and your outfit is indeed quite strange…” Lin Hao scratched his head. Su Qi took Lin Hao’s police ID, first feeling the softness of the leather cover. Her fifth brother was in the military, and she had seen a similar material before. She then looked at the number on the ID and prepared to search for it on her phone but was dismayed upon seeing her Huawei phone, which seemed to have gotten damaged again. Seeing the little girl’s distressed look at her phone, Guo Huangting found it amusing. The phone seemed old and well-used, why was she being so dramatic about it? Su Qi had thought her phone was no longer usable. But pressing the lock button, the screen lit up again with no issues. Her face lit up with relief. Guo Huangting felt the little girl was too cute and even wanted to buy her a new phone. However, observing the phone and her outfit, it seemed her family wasn’t well-off. Her eccentric outfit might be due to affordability. Poor little one, so pitifully poor. Another glare was aimed at Lin Hao, who looked at them cluelessly. He felt wronged; today was supposed to be a day to strengthen his relationship with his girlfriend, yet it seemed to be deteriorating. Su Qi searched on the DC browser for a long time but couldn't find anything. “Police numbers aren’t searchable!” Lin Hao eventually said, feeling helpless at the puzzled looks of his girlfriend and the little girl. Hearing that, Su Qi gave Lin Hao a ‘caught you, liar’ look. He felt exasperated. If he were a bad guy, would he have let her stay fine and dandy for so long? Having no choice, he explained: “The police ID has a badge at the top and the word 'police'. It contains the holder's photo, name, department, and police number on the front. The back has the holder's name, gender, birth date, position, rank, and validity period, with multiple anti-counterfeit holograms.” Lin Hao explained, and Su Qi nodded before asking. “But how do I know the holograms are real?” “You can use the simplest method: directly call 110 to confirm my information.” Lin Hao suggested. “I called 110 just now. You seemed so familiar with them. You'd definitely tell them you’re a cop!” Su Qi replied, making Lin Hao feel even more exasperated. So, couldn’t a police officer prove his identity now? He was a police officer, so naturally, he was familiar with others in the force. Did that mean police couldn't have social circles? He wanted to open Su Qi’s mind to see her thought process. Was it influenced by those absurd TV dramas? Just when he wanted to speak, he saw a female officer patrolling on a motorcycle across the street and shouted to her. Zhang Ru was surprised. She had just returned from a mission and was doing another round when she saw her senior, Lin Hao, waving at her. Parking her motorcycle, the valiant Zhang Ru dismounted smoothly in one fluid motion. There was no denying, police motorcycles were indeed cool. “So, was it you who subdued the criminal just now, Brother Lin?” Zhang Ru asked naturally as she walked over to Lin Hao. Hearing Zhang Ru's assumption, Lin Hao’s face darkened. His girlfriend, Guo Huangting, chuckled out loud. Moments later, after finding out what had happened, Zhang Ru couldn’t help but laugh too. Who would’ve thought a senior officer who had received two third-class merits would be mistaken for a criminal one day? Su Qi slowly realized that Lin Hao was indeed a police officer. And she was mistakenly thought to be a vengeful criminal out for revenge after prison. The cleared misunderstanding left Su Qi feeling embarrassed. She wanted to leave and get some spicy hotpot quickly. But when she tried to sneak away, Zhang Ru grabbed her shoulder. In a swift motion, Su Qi found herself lifted onto the motorcycle and provided with a white helmet. A bewildered Su Qi wondered why. Zhang Ru looked at the naive little girl and said with amusement: “You reported to the police, so we have to take your statement! Hold onto my waist, let’s go!!!”
