Chapter 51 Online Romance Scammer Arrested

As Su Xiaonuan watched them approach, her heart raced slightly with excitement, but she put on her sweetest, most innocent business smile: "Welcome~ Freshly baked durian pizza, would you like one?"

The girl looked at the freshly baked pizza in the shop window, a slice of which was displayed—the golden crust was crispy and tempting, the thick durian flesh and stringy cheese inside were almost overflowing, and the rich aroma was irresistible—she couldn't help but swallow hard, and hugged the boy's arm coquettishly: "It looks so delicious! Let's buy one!"

The boy was completely won over by the appearance and aroma of the food, and seemingly wanting to show off in front of his female companion, he immediately scanned the code and said, "Boss, five servings, please! To go!"

Five portions? Su Xiaonuan sneered inwardly. They really don't care about the money they've swindled.

Her smile remained unchanged, and her voice was clear and crisp: "Alright! Five durian pizzas to go! Please wait a moment!"

Her hands moved quickly and skillfully.

Soon, five steaming hot and fragrant durian pizzas were freshly baked.

She carefully packed them up and handed them to the boy.

Originally, Su Xiaonuan was still figuring out how to naturally suggest adding each other on WeChat, so that it would be convenient to "set up a trap" or follow up on clues in the future.

Unexpectedly, before she could even speak, the girl's eyes widened instantly after she eagerly took a small bite of the pizza she had just received, and her face showed an expression of extreme amazement and satisfaction!

"Oh my god! This is so delicious!!!" the girl exclaimed, not caring about her image anymore. She quickly took another big bite and said to Su Xiaonuan indistinctly, "Boss! This pizza is the best I've ever had! No doubt about it! It's absolutely amazing! Can we add each other on WeChat? I need to know when you set up your stall in the future! I want to buy from you again!"

As she spoke, she proactively pulled out her phone, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Su Xiaonuan, full of anticipation and longing.

This sudden initiative startled Su Xiaonuan for a moment, and then a surge of joy welled up in her heart!

This is exactly what I wanted! I couldn't have asked for it!

Suppressing her excitement, she put on a perfectly measured expression of "surprise" and "honor," quickly took out her phone, scanned the QR code, and smiled sincerely: "Of course! Thank you for your interest! I'll post about my stall on WeChat Moments every time I set up my stall!"

"Great!" The girl happily scanned the QR code to add the contact, quickly typing out the nickname: "[Super Delicious Durian Pizza Owner!]".

The boy watched from the side, seemingly thinking his girlfriend was being a bit too enthusiastic, but he didn't think much of it and just urged, "Are you done yet? Let's go, we still have to play the next activity."

The girl happily put away her phone, clutched the pizza box, and was led away by the boy in his arms.

Su Xiaonuan looked at the newly added friend in her WeChat list and the girl's vibrant Moments cover photo, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips.

The fish has taken the bait.

Su Xiaonuan watched the couple disappear into the crowd heading towards the Ferris wheel, then immediately took out her phone, opened the small group chat with only three people [Temporary Special Task Force for SOS Signals], and typed rapidly:

"Target spotted! Confirmed to be the mastermind behind the online romance scam, currently at Starlight Amusement Park, heading towards the Ferris wheel. Accompanied by a young woman (suspected to be a new target or accomplice). Photo [Just taken secretly] Location shared [Real-time location]"

"Request police to respond immediately!"

After doing all this, she took a deep breath, put her phone on vibrate and put it back in her pocket, put her sweet smile back on her face, and continued to greet the other customers who had been attracted by the aroma of durian pizza.

"Boss, one durian pizza, please!"

"Okay! Just a moment!"

Her movements remained swift and efficient, spreading the dough, adding ingredients, baking, and packing with practiced ease. But out of the corner of her eye, she kept an eye on the direction of the amusement park entrance.

Sure enough, not long after, about twenty minutes later, two inconspicuous black sedans and a plainclothes patrol car quietly stopped in the temporary parking area outside the amusement park.

Qin Haoran, accompanied by several colleagues dressed in plain clothes but exuding a capable air, quickly got out of the car, blended into the crowd, and scanned their surroundings with sharp eyes.

Su Xiaonuan had sharp eyes and spotted them immediately.

She immediately changed the sign on the blackboard from "Open for Business" to "Temporarily Closed," quickly told the customers in line, "Excuse me, everyone, I have an urgent matter to attend to!", then deftly locked the doors and windows of her stall and hurried towards Qin Haoran and the others.

The two met up near a balloon stall and, under the cover of the crowd, quickly and quietly exchanged information.

"He's in the queue area under the Ferris wheel, wearing a blue hoodie and ripped jeans, with a girl in a white babydoll dress next to him," Su Xiaonuan succinctly pointed out the direction and characteristics.

Qin Haoran nodded and whispered instructions into the microphone under his collar.

Several plainclothes police officers, like drops of water merging into the ocean, silently surrounded the Ferris wheel from different directions.

Su Xiaonuan didn't follow too closely. She found a food stall where she could see what was happening but wouldn't get in her way.

The whole process was lightning fast, causing almost no disturbance.

She saw Qin Haoran and an undercover policeman approach the couple who were queuing and completely unaware of what was happening, show their badges, and whisper something to each other.

The boy's smile froze instantly, turning deathly pale. He instinctively tried to break free, but Zhao Liming swiftly and decisively handcuffed his hands behind his back. He cried out agitatedly, "What are you doing?! You've arrested the wrong person! I didn't do anything!"

The girl next to him was also terrified, her face pale, watching everything in panic, her lips trembling and unable to speak.

Qin Haoran sneered, took out his phone, and displayed a photo in front of him. It was obviously the latest development from Xu Zhixian's side—the photo showed a beautiful "woman" with exquisite makeup and a sweet smile on her online profile picture, and behind this profile picture was the backend evidence that the boy in front of him was operating multiple accounts to commit fraud!

"'Xue Rou Miao Miao'? 'Princess Fei Fei'? 'Baby Qing'? Do I need to recite more of your 'online names'?" Qin Haoran's voice was laced with sarcasm. "Don't you know how many people you've scammed and how much money you've made using these identities?"

Faced with overwhelming evidence, the boy seemed to have all his strength drained away, collapsing completely and unable to utter any further words of defense. His face ashen, he was led towards the police car in the parking lot.

Task completed.

Qin Haoran breathed a sigh of relief, his slightly roguish smile returning to his face. He walked over to Su Xiaonuan and patted her on the shoulder: "Not bad, little cook! You have a sharp eye! You've done a great job! I'll have Brother Xu apply for a Good Citizen Award for you later!"
