Chapter 10: I'm Not Interested in You

"Take off your clothes for me!"

In the Live Broadcast Room, Xu Mo's words left the overwhelming majority of people staring in disbelief.

Xu Mo actually demanded that the popular actress Yang Jingxuan take off her clothes?

This is freaking insane!

The entire Live Broadcast Room instantly erupted into chaotic noise.

"WTF, I'm stunned!"

"Is Xu Mo crazy? Does he even know he's being broadcast and still makes such a request!"

"Does he realize he's on a live broadcast to say that?"

"Exciting, damn exciting!"

"Encountering a lunatic like Xu Mo, Yang Jingxuan probably regrets coming onto this show."

"..."

Just as the Water Friends had guessed, Yang Jingxuan couldn't believe her own ears.

Xu Mo actually demanded that she take off her clothes.

My god!

At this moment, Yang Jingxuan's mind was a complete blank.

She never expected that participating in a variety show would end up trapping herself.

What on earth is this Xu Mo?

Is he really a corporate drone?

Yang Jingxuan couldn't see the usual restraint of a typical corporate drone in Xu Mo; instead, there was an inscrutable mystery.

"I... I..."

She was startled, stammering as she opened her mouth, but before she could finish, Xu Mo cut her off.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you as a person; I'm interested in your clothes."

"Pfft!"

The Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room were amused.

"Hahaha, this Xu Mo is really something."

"I'm sure this is the most infuriating thing Yang Jingxuan has ever heard."

"Not much harm, but extremely insulting."

"Yang Jingxuan says: I'm such a beautiful big star, can my clothes still be more attractive than me?"

"..."

Chief Director Song Yixue, who had originally been shocked by Xu Mo's words, now, upon hearing that line, had her eyes flicker as if she had guessed something.

So she took no action, quietly watching the broadcast.

"I'll give you a minute: either you take off your outerwear, or I keep tying you up."

Xu Mo stared silently at Yang Jingxuan.

Yang Jingxuan was at a loss for words.

She couldn't figure out Xu Mo's purpose at all.

As a hostage.

Well, rather say as an actor playing a kidnapped hostage.

Yang Jingxuan knew how to act.

It's just taking off the outerwear, not stripping completely; that's acceptable.

She immediately showed a terrified expression and removed her outerwear.

Soon, the Live Broadcast Room footage, as she removed her outerwear, shook, and finally froze at a view of the ceiling.

The Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room instantly understood that Yang Jingxuan had taken off her clothes.

Some also realized why Xu Mo wanted Yang Jingxuan to strip.

Xu Mo picked up the discarded clothing, inspected it, and felt a small hard object.

Indeed!

Yang Jingxuan also had a tiny camera on her.

Xu Mo's speculation grew clearer in his mind.

He didn't remove the camera, but tossed the clothing back to Yang Jingxuan, asking, "Are you the one who was kidnapped?"

"I don't know."

Yang Jingxuan nervously shook her head.

"You don't know?" Xu Mo laughed.

Xu Mo's smile gave Yang Jingxuan a feeling of being seen through; she forced herself to say, "I really don't know. At that time I had just finished filming and returned to the hotel, then a dark shadow attacked, I felt a wave of dizziness, and when I woke up I found my limbs bound by rope, and I was in your car's trunk."

"Is that so?"

Xu Mo's statement was indisputable.

Now his mind was very clear; Yang Jingxuan's words had so many holes that he didn't even want to expose them.

Moreover, he had previously noticed a detail.

Namely, although Yang Jingxuan was bound with elaborate ropes.

But the ropes hadn't left deep marks on her wrists and ankles.

If he were a real kidnapper, would he be this gentle?

He asked again, "I'll ask once more, who kidnapped you?"

At this moment, all memories of his previous incarnation were fully restored!

One could say that he in this world is the same as himself in another world!

It was originally a memory that belonged solely to him.

Regaining the memories did not cause Xu Mo the slightest discomfort!

Like in his previous life, he is a law‑abiding 996 office worker.

He lives a three‑point‑one‑line routine every day.

His finances are not lacking.

Nor would he seek any kind of meaningful excitement.

His mind suddenly heated up.

He ran off to engage in kidnapping work!

Moreover, he did not find any information about it in his memories.

Any kidnapping of Yang Jingxuan!

Soon after, Yang Jingxuan's gaze subconsciously turned toward Xu Mo.

Xu Mo smiled.

He roughly understood what was happening and said, "So the one who 'kidnapped' you must be me, and only I could have 'kidnapped' you, right?"

After speaking, he did not wait for Yang Jingxuan to reply.

Instead, he picked up his phone and searched for information.

His appearance instantly caused a stir in the studio viewing the Live Broadcast Room.

"It seems Xu Mo has guessed something," Song Yixue said.

Among the staff there were also clever people; someone replied, "Has he become suspicious?"

Song Yixue nodded, "But he can't find any information."

A few minutes later.

Xu Mo did not retrieve any relevant information.

But he already had an idea in his mind.

To confirm whether his thoughts and speculation were true is simple.

Just play the Cat and Mouse Game once.

As explained when the previous game was activated, as long as he successfully outwits the investigators in this game, he will receive the corresponding reward.

And proving his speculation is also simple.

If his upcoming actions earn him a reward, that proves the speculation true.

With that in mind, Xu Mo re‑tied Yang Jingxuan, went down a floor, and entered a 24‑hour convenience store.

His figure was streamed into the Live Broadcast Room via the residential complex's surveillance cameras.

"What on earth is Xu Mo up to?"

"At this moment, does he even have the mind to go to a supermarket?"

"What did he buy?"

Xu Mo's actions sparked everyone's curiosity.

Soon, Xu Mo returned home, entered the bedroom, and when he emerged, a handgun suddenly appeared in his hand.

He deliberately brandished the handgun in front of the tiny camera attached to Yang Jingxuan.

In that instant!

Everyone was terrified into a stupor!

"Xu Mo actually has a gun in his hand!!"

"Damn, what the hell is going on?"

"The program has encountered a problem!"

"The Program Crew couldn't have accidentally selected a real criminal as the Challenger, could they?"

The handgun in Xu Mo's hand, like a stone dropped into a pool, instantly created ripples.

"Ah!!"

When Yang Jingxuan saw the pitch‑black handgun in Xu Mo's hand, her lower leg trembled violently, she lost her balance, and let out a terrified scream, "You… you… what are you trying to do?"

"What do I want to do?"

Xu Mo chuckled softly, "You all think I'm a kidnapper, so I'll do what a kidnapper should do."

While saying that, he tossed his phone to Yang Jingxuan and said, "Call your manager and have her transfer one hundred million onto this bank card within five minutes."
