Chapter 98: Sir, You...

If only the red packet could give out some stamina-boosting items in the future. For now, she would swallow her anger. Shi Qingqing glanced around at the small gang of thugs who had surrounded her, memorizing each of their faces—she would settle the score when the chance arose.

Just as she was about to turn and leave the café, the girl with dyed yellow hair exchanged a glance with the delinquent leader, a calculating glint flashing in her eyes.

She suddenly grabbed Shi Qingqing’s arm. “No, you scammer. You’re coming with us to the police station to make things clear. Internet fraudsters like you deserve no mercy.”

With that, she dragged Shi Qingqing toward the door.

Shi Qingqing was willing to give up the concert ticket worth eight thousand, admitting defeat, yet they still wouldn’t let her go? Something seemed off—these people were the real scammers, and yet they dared to march to the police station?

At that moment, several men in black walked in from outside the café.

They blocked the way of the gang.

The man in the lead took off his sunglasses, his voice icy. “Plainclothes police. Who said they wanted to go to the station? What happened here?”

Shi Qingqing turned to look—

Her mouth dropped open in astonishment. What so-called plainclothes police? This was clearly the handsome bodyguard uncle always at Zhan Su’s side!

Her gaze flicked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, where two luxury cars were parked outside…

From one of them, a window rolled down, revealing half of a face so strikingly handsome it could haunt spirits—who else could it be but Zhan Su, the campus heartthrob?

For a moment, Shi Qingqing didn’t know whether she should make a run for it—or make a run for it!

The delinquents, hearing the words “plainclothes police,” instantly panicked.

“Officers, it’s her! She’s an internet scammer—sold us a fake concert ticket for eight thousand, tried to cheat us…”

Luo Hua snorted coldly, moved with swift and unexpected agility, and dragged the yellow-haired girl out from the crowd. He reached into her pocket and fished out a concert ticket—

Shi Qingqing’s genuine ticket!

“Swapping tickets and falsely accusing good people—are you all itching for jail time?” he said.

The yellow-haired girl and the rest of the thugs were dumbfounded.

So the police had seen everything. There was no way to talk their way out of this now.

Still trying to feign bravado, they protested, “So what if you’re police? You can’t just search people like that! That ticket is ours…”

Luo Hua nodded. “Seems you all really want jail food. Coincidentally, I happened to be filming nearby and caught everything on my phone. Come along, you’re all going to the station…”

The thugs immediately fell silent, crestfallen and ready to slink away.

On their way out, they shot Shi Qingqing a venomous glare. “You little brat, not bad! Called the cops on us in advance! Hmph, we’ll see about that.”

Shi Qingqing, meanwhile, was still locked in a silent battle of wills with Zhan Su’s gaze through the window, not paying the threat any mind.

Why was Zhan Su here? What a coincidence—was there some conspiracy afoot?

Well, whatever scheme he might have, today he had helped her out of a tight spot.

Luo Hua had originally planned to let the thugs leave, but upon hearing their threat, he blinked and had his men drag them back.

“What’s that? We’ll see? Come on, tell us all about it…”

The delinquents…

Luo Hua grabbed the collar of the gang leader and held him up in front of Shi Qingqing.

“Take a good look at this young lady. She’s got someone powerful backing her. She’s not someone you can afford to mess with. Apologize to her!”

Shi Qingqing thought—Uncle, isn’t this a bit over the top?
