This instantly attracted the eyes of the people around. The groundhog realized he was exposed, and immediately grabbed with both hands, pulling the satchel off her arm and ran away.

"Please help me catch him," the girl cried urgently.

But no one stepped forward, all just stared wide-eyed at the scene of the robbery.

The groundhog was extremely excited, sprinting as he shoved aside the people blocking his way, skillfully weaving through the gaps in the crowd, and in just a short moment, he had run dozens of meters away, seemingly about to disappear into the crowd.

A sound of "whoosh" came from behind, and almost simultaneously, the groundhog felt a sting in the bend of his leg, a burst of paralysis followed. His knee gave out, and he fell to the ground with a face-first slide.

It might have been because he charged too fast earlier; after falling, he slid forward on his face for a meter. His face and palms were scraped.

The skin was broken, and blood instantly flowed out.

But these were just surface injuries; the most unbearable was the excruciating pain from his knee. He clearly felt the moment his knee struck the ground heavily, the sound of bone cracking.

With his face covered in blood, he rolled on the ground clutching his calf, wailing endlessly.

All of this was, of course, Luo Chao's doing.

Seeing his friend the homeroom teacher's bag getting snatched, he casually picked up a plastic bead from the table. With a flick of his finger, he accurately hit the bend of the groundhog's leg.

The groundhog's blood-drenched miserable appearance really scared away quite a few onlookers, who hastily dispersed, with some calling the police.

Dong Jie and the delicate girl who had her satchel stolen picked up their bags from the ground, looking at the groundhog in agony on the floor, unsure of what to do.

Luckily, the local police near Liuhai Night Market arrived quickly. Seeing it was the groundhog, they roughly understood what was going on.

The groundhog was a regular at the station; everyone knew him. He got invited for tea every couple of days, but usually committed minor thefts and petty crimes, so couldn't be dealt with too harshly, usually just detained for a few days and then released.

But he kept repeating his offenses, plus he was quite adept at handling matters, often gifting them good cigarettes, so they tended to turn a blind eye to his actions.

"Miss, I've already understood the situation between you," said one of the older district officers, pointing at the groundhog, "See, you haven't suffered much loss, this guy is so hurt, why not send him to the hospital and let this matter go."

The two women understood his meaning, feeling a bit angry. "Why should it end like that, what he did is called robbery, it's illegal," Dong Jie, being a teacher, had a strong sense of justice, especially since the victim was her cousin, naturally she wouldn't allow such an unfair resolution.

"Then what do you want to do." The older district officer asked expressionlessly. While the younger one behind him stayed silent, staring intently at Dong Jie's cousin.

"Of course send this person to the police station." Dong Jie said matter-of-factly, pointing at the older district officer: "And you, as a public official, are clearly biased towards the perpetrator, I will definitely file a complaint against you."

The older district officer was infuriated by the pretty woman's words. How big a deal was this! Such matters are handled several times a day, all privately resolved. Who would escalate it to the police station? Now you want to file a complaint against me, fine, I'll see how you do it.

His facial expression immediately hardened, "That's what you said, come, follow me back to give your statement. Oh, and find two eyewitnesses to testify to this incident." After finishing, ignoring the groundhog's cries of pain, he hauled him up from the ground.

Going to give a statement was no problem, but finding two eyewitnesses to testify proved challenging for the two women.

Scanning around, everyone had backed away far. Understandably so, who has idle time to want to wander around the police station?

When her gaze shifted to Luo Chao and Tang Yan, Dong Jie's eyes lit up. She hadn't noticed it was Luo Chao who fired the bead initially, only found the silhouette somewhat familiar. Now facing her directly, she immediately recognized him... He was her student and would surely help them.

Luo Chao saw Dong Jie looking at him, smiled lightly, and voluntarily walked over with Tang Yan, laughingly saying, "Teacher, we meet again."

"You still remember! By now it's the umpteenth time, you didn't even bother to request leave, and vanished without a trace." Dong Jie initially reprimanded, then said, "Forget it, first help your teacher out a bit!"

Luo Chao nodded, showing understanding. He said, "I understand... No need to go through the trouble of the station, I'll handle it, just need to make a call."

Then he said to the older district officer, "Wait a moment, okay."

No need for such hassle? Resolving it with just one call? The older district officer sneered.

Who do you think you are! So impressive! He was really displeased with Luo Chao's attitude. Speaking like this in front of him was clearly disregarding him.

Luo Chao didn't care how he felt, took out his phone, thought for a bit, and dialed Yang Shouye's number.

Originally, he was more familiar with Duanmu Qing, but that woman was with the criminal investigation team, different department, didn't know if her words would be effective. So he chose Yang Shouye, the police station director.

The number was something Yang Shouye had stuffed them with during the last visit to the police station, at the time Luo Chao thought he might need it in the future, so he casually memorized it, unexpectedly it came in handy today.

"Hello, who's this?" A deep voice came from the other side of the line.

"Director Yang, I don't know if you still remember me, I'm Luo Chao." Luo Chao merrily stated his identity.

The older district officer heard Luo Chao's address to the other person, even more feeling he was pretending; their division's director wasn't named Yang. This kid made up a name just to bluff people, truly laughable. Hence, he folded his arms, sneering at how Luo Chao continued to act.

"Luo Chao?" Yang Shouye murmured, not immediately remembering who it was, but anyone knowing his private number was definitely not ordinary, didn't dare speak recklessly, had to cautiously ask, "Brother, elder brother is getting old, memory not that good, could you..."

"I dealt with those Blood Wolf Gang punks."

Hearing this from Luo Chao, Yang Shouye immediately recalled who it was. "Ah, it's you! Brother Luo Chao. Please don't be offended, sigh... my memory." He said regretfully.

"No problem, no problem." Luo Chao said indifferently, "Calling you to ask a small favor, hope old brother doesn't mind!"

"Sure, what do you need?" Yang Shouye readily agreed, patting his chest in assurance. But cautiously added one more line, "If it's beyond elder brother's capabilities, then..."
