With a single sentence, the police officer at his side froze for a moment, then also noticed that ahead of the target, a figure was rapidly approaching. Meanwhile, the target, who had barely moved until now, was clearly showing signs of action.

Could he have an accomplice?

This thought flashed through both officers’ minds, and they were both slightly surprised. Brian Carter hadn’t mentioned this, but if the suspect did have an accomplice, that would be perfect.

After all, catching a single thief and busting an entire pickpocket gang are both good things for the police, but the significance is completely different. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have rushed over so quickly after receiving Brian Carter’s call.

Thinking of this, both officers couldn’t help but smile to themselves.

While the two of them were smiling, Grace Bennett up ahead hadn’t noticed at all that he was already being watched. He simply looked quickly at the figure striding toward him.

Under his gaze, a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a breezy summer outfit, tall and slender, with skin as fair as jade and a neat, ear-length bob, approached him with a look of delighted surprise.

There are many kinds of beauty in women.

The woman before him looked to be just over twenty, with a snow-white, flawless face, slightly thin cheeks, and a sharp, youthful beauty accentuated by her short, stylish hair.

Her cool summer clothes hugged a curvaceous figure that made one’s heart race. Her proud, full curves were outlined by a light gray tank top, and below her slender, ungraspable waist were a pair of shapely, long, and alluring legs.

With each slight step, her perky hips swayed back and forth, instantly drawing the attention of many nearby passersby.

“You’re Grace Bennett? I’m Jessica Sullivan. Sorry to keep you waiting.” They had already exchanged names over the phone, and at this moment, Jessica Sullivan was truly excited. When she first discovered her wallet was missing, she thought she was out of luck, but she hadn’t expected the other party to call her proactively.

“Heh, it really is you.” Grace Bennett glanced at Jessica Sullivan, a bit surprised that she was even more beautiful than in her photos. But he quickly handed over the wallet and said, “Take a look and see if anything’s missing.”

Jessica Sullivan gave Grace Bennett another grateful look before taking the wallet and checking it. Soon, she smiled at Grace Bennett and said, “Everything’s here. Thank you so much. Please, I hope you’ll accept this small token of appreciation.”

As she spoke, she pulled out the cash from her wallet, keeping only one bill for herself and handing the rest to Grace Bennett.

Grace Bennett was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and said, “If I wanted your money, I wouldn’t have called you.”

Waving his hand, he added, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

His words left Jessica Sullivan momentarily stunned, and she hurriedly said, “How can that be? You helped me so much, please accept this…”

“No need to be polite.” Grace Bennett directly cut her off and turned to leave. Right now, most of his thoughts were still on that strange ability. If he hadn’t known she’d lost her ID and would be anxious, he wouldn’t have stayed here waiting at all.

This left Jessica Sullivan standing there in a daze once again.

This guy really is a weirdo.

But just then, two sudden shouts rang out from the distance.

“Don’t move!!”

“Police!”

※※※

The loud shouts startled many people outside the hotel, including Grace Bennett and Jessica Sullivan. The two of them were shocked to see two men in police uniforms charging toward them with fierce expressions.

“What’s going on?”

The thought had just flashed through Grace Bennett’s mind—why did it look like these two officers were coming for him? But before his confusion could clear, the taller of the two men had already grabbed a pair of handcuffs and lunged straight at him.

“Clack!”

It wasn’t until the handcuffs were firmly on his arm that Grace Bennett realized in shock that they really were after him. Meanwhile, the other officer had already pounced on Jessica Sullivan, and in full view of everyone, took out another pair of handcuffs and snapped them onto her wrist.

“Huh?”

“What are you doing?”

※※※

The sudden turn of events left both of them completely stunned. Jessica Sullivan even let out a startled cry, her face flushing with anger.

“Heh, what are we doing? You two pickpockets, transferring stolen goods right here? Now that we’ve caught you red-handed, what more is there to say?! Back to the station with you!” To be honest, both Li and Yang were a bit surprised themselves. They’d thought the suspects would try to run after being shouted at, but these two just stood there dumbfounded?

Caught this easily?

Of course, no matter how easy it was, they never doubted that these two were pickpockets. After all, Brian Carter, the king of pickpockets in Ning City, had personally pointed them out—how could it be wrong?
