The two of them were putting on a spectacular performance, their sincerity seemingly boundless.
Su Xiaotian felt that if they continued speaking, she might even believe their words were true.
However, her primary goal was to stall for time, so Su Xiaotian engaged them in aimless conversation.
The police officers opposite them clearly noticed that Su Xiaotian was buying them time. They also saw that the robbers were indeed distracted by Su Xiaotian.
Their pace quickened slightly, and even the outer cordon of their encirclement unconsciously tightened.
Two minutes later, the two robbers finally realized something was amiss.
"You wretched woman, you've been deceiving us! Are you trying to stall for time?"
Su Xiaotian had anticipated that the two would eventually catch on, so she had been paying close attention to their movements.
The one holding the hostage was unlikely to make a move. If anyone were to act, it would be the one beside him, who wasn't holding a hostage, but was providing cover.
Based on this assumption, Su Xiaotian paid special attention to the man holding the gun and scanning their surroundings.
As expected, after they realized time was being bought, Su Xiaotian saw the man's wrist twitch slightly.
She reacted immediately, ducking behind the robber she was holding.
As soon as Su Xiaotian moved, a gunshot rang out, and the bullet struck the robber whose back of the neck she was gripping.
The assailant likely intended to shoot Su Xiaotian in the head, killing her instantly.
However, he hadn't expected Su Xiaotian to be a trained fighter, her reaction speed far surpassing that of an ordinary person. She had dodged the shot.
The robber was slightly taller than Su Xiaotian. When the bullet hit him, it didn't strike a vital spot but grazed his shoulder.
With a groan from the man she held, he cursed at the other robber.
"Idiot, who are you working with?"
The robber on the other side clearly hadn't expected to shoot his own man.
Moreover, this man was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
He was stunned and momentarily panicked.
Even the other robber, holding the hostage beside him, was flustered.
How could this Chinese woman be so troublesome? How did she know he was about to shoot?
And at such speed, how could she evade his bullet?
The robber couldn't comprehend it, and the onlookers who still dared to watch were also greatly shocked.
Just moments ago, they had all thought that this beautiful Oriental girl wouldn't survive.
But who would have thought she would dodge it so effortlessly?
About twenty meters behind Su Xiaotian, a man holding a camera watched everything with keen interest.
His expression was different from the others.
While others showed fear and terror, his face was filled with excitement!
Fortunately, he was some distance from the crime scene, and given the tense standoff, no one noticed his unusual reaction.
Just as the remaining two robbers began to panic, the police of Country L finally seized the opportunity, thanks to Su Xiaotian's actions, and apprehended the two robbers.
Su Xiaotian found it somewhat strange that the two were so easily captured by the police.
Were people who dared to rob openly so incompetent?
They had guns in their hands, yet they couldn't fight back at all?
It was a great disappointment to her!
This was quite different from the robbers she had imagined.
But regardless, the robbers were caught, and that was a good thing.
Su Xiaotian immediately handed over the robber she was holding to the police of Country L, intending to make a quiet exit, leaving no trace of her involvement.
She had only come out for a stroll today, planning to buy a few gifts for her family. She hadn't intended to get involved in any trouble.
However, the authorities knew that they had successfully captured the robbers today thanks to Su Xiaotian's assistance, and they were naturally unwilling to let her leave so easily.
"Miss, hello. I am the person in charge of this apprehension operation. We were able to capture these robbers smoothly today thanks to you."
"I didn't do much, I was just defending myself!"
Su Xiaotian waved her hands repeatedly, intending to leave immediately.
But then, she was stopped again.
This time, the person blocking her was a young man, no older than twenty-something.
The young man was wearing a checkered shirt and jeans, with a camera slung around his neck.
He looked quite stylish.
But Su Xiaotian had little interest in him; her only thought now was to rejoin her group as quickly as possible.
Country L was too dangerous; it was better to stay safely in the hotel.
"Miss, may I know your name? You were so cool just now!"
The young man looked as if he had just seen an idol.
Then, more people began to gather around, including the counter attendant who had previously looked down on Su Xiaotian.
She enthusiastically told the police about Su Xiaotian's heroic deeds and even guided them to find the two robbers Su Xiaotian had tied up and hidden under the counter.
It was then that the police realized there were indeed five robbers today.
They had received a report of five robbers committing a robbery, but upon arriving at the scene, they only found three. They had assumed the informant was mistaken.
However, it turned out there were indeed five, not one less.
It was just that with five robbers, this stunningly beautiful Oriental young lady had captured three of them single-handedly, making them seem rather useless.
"Thank you so much. May I ask which country you are from? Your language in Country L is so standard. If it weren't for your distinctly Eastern features, I would have thought you were a native of our country."
The leading police officer gave Su Xiaotian the impression of being a complete chatterbox.
He was genuinely enthusiastic in his treatment of people. Although she had helped catch the robbers, she really hadn't expected such enthusiastic gratitude.
"I am from Hua Country. You can call me Miss Su!" Su Xiaotian still had no intention of staying.
But with so many people around, it was clearly not realistic for her to leave now.
These people, who had been terrified earlier, were now so enthusiastic that she couldn't handle it.
"Miss Su, are you here to study in our country? Have you been in Country L for a long time?"
"No, I came with a visiting delegation." Su Xiaotian quickly explained.
She wanted to prevent this person from continuing to imagine things, lest she be mistaken for an overseas Chinese.
Upon hearing that Su Xiaotian had come with a visiting delegation, he immediately understood.
Since she was part of the delegation, her status was even more sensitive.
At that, his tone towards Su Xiaotian became even more respectful.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I will be leaving now." Su Xiaotian waved, preparing to say goodbye.
"We may need you to accompany us. As an important witness, we need your testimony!"
The officer looked somewhat embarrassed as he said this.
But they genuinely needed Su Xiaotian to testify, and perhaps this beautiful Chinese lady could even receive an commendation.
This matter needed to be reported as soon as possible. If they delayed, this lovely lady would leave Country L after the visiting activities concluded.
