Then she picked up her handbag and walked steadily toward the restaurant entrance.
Just as her fingers were about to touch the restaurant's ornate brass doorknob, a hand with distinct knuckles placed on her shoulder.
"Yang Ruxuan?"
A deep, serious male voice sounded behind her.
The person looking for her at this point is either being watched while trying to sell stolen goods, or being watched by the police!
"You! Who are you? What do you want?"
Yang Ruxuan's body stiffened instantly; she did not turn around immediately.
"Help! I don't know him! He...he's being a pervert!"
Instead, she quickly took a deep breath, and the moment she turned around, her face had already changed to a tearful expression.
Her voice trembled and choked with sobs as she looked helplessly at the man who was holding onto her arm.
At the same time, he glanced around with pleading eyes at the startled diners and the men who were about to leave.
She had used this trick more than once.
By exploiting people's sympathy and preconceived notions, she can often escape unscathed while simultaneously turning the tables on them.
They could even take the opportunity to slip away.
Yang Ruxuan was relieved to see the men frown and seem to want to intervene.
However, the chaos and support she expected did not materialize.
The plainclothes officer showed no anger at being falsely accused; he simply looked at her calmly, his eyes sharp.
He didn't even let go of her shoulder.
"Yang Ruxuan, stop acting."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the suddenly quiet restaurant lobby.
Almost simultaneously, five or six efficient men and women quickly emerged from the corners of the restaurant, behind screens, and even from among the people dressed as waiters.
They quickly formed a loose encirclement, surrounding Yang Ruxuan and the plainclothes officer in the middle.
The men who had just tried to step forward to play the hero and save the damsel in distress stopped in their tracks and stared at the scene with surprise and uncertainty.
"Officer, we are on a mission."
The plainclothes officer in the lead took out his badge from his pocket and showed it to those around him.
Then, his gaze returned to Yang Ruxuan, whose face had turned deathly pale.
"Yang Ruxuan, we've been watching you for a long time."
"From the previous charity galas, to the limited-edition handbag that went missing at the Zhao family's daughter's birthday party last month, and the custom-made diamond necklace worth over a million last night..."
"Stop pretending here, your record is brilliant."
Another plainclothes female officer stepped forward, her voice cold.
With each word spoken by the plainclothes woman, Yang Ruxuan's face paled a little more.
She never imagined that her seemingly foolproof actions, which she thought had evaded surveillance, were already under police monitoring.
"She used her innocent and harmless appearance to infiltrate high-end venues, specifically targeting the finances of female victims, and then quickly selling the stolen goods through online channels."
Please take good care of your personal belongings.
"Sometimes the kindest and most innocent person is not necessarily a good person."
The plainclothes officer took over the conversation, raising his voice slightly, addressing not only Yang Ruxuan but also the stunned guests around them.
The surrounding guests were in an uproar, checking their belongings one by one. Their gazes toward Yang Ruxuan instantly changed from initial sympathy and doubt to contempt.
Some people even immediately took out their phones and started filming a live stream.
Yang Ruxuan's legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground, but she was firmly supported by the plainclothes officers on both sides.
Her meticulously made-up face was now contorted and pale, and was clearly captured by countless mobile phone cameras.
Yang Ruxuan will not only be arrested in real life, but will also become infamous in the most disgraceful way in the online world.
