Chapter 110: Sowing Discord

At the very moment the emergency call was received.

The police immediately set out.

Because there was a timed bomb left inside the bank.

Therefore, this operation also brought along a Bomb Disposal Expert.

In the office.

Wang Ju sat in the chair, his complexion already as hideous as could be.

The computer on the desk in front of him.

Was playing a surveillance video.

This video, unmistakably, was the surveillance footage from the bank that Xu Mo robbed, capturing the entire bank‑robbing process.

From the moment Xu Mo entered the bank to the moment he left with the gold bars, it only took a few minutes in total.

The whole process flowed smoothly.

Watching this video.

Wang Ju suddenly got a feeling.

This kid is a repeat offender, right!?

Who would be that skilled on their first bank robbery?

That's also why Wang Ju sent the officers with a Bomb Disposal Expert.

Because he felt that Xu Mo might actually be a damn terrorist!

That bomb might actually be real!

At the end of the surveillance.

After Xu Mo finished placing the timed bomb, he looked up and gave the camera a smile.

That smile was definitely meant for the police, for the Investigation Team to see.

Moreover, the entire surveillance video was deliberately left by Xu Mo.

He can even infiltrate the bank's security system; can he still not delete the surveillance footage?

The surveillance video remains, which says a lot.

Xu Mo is just showing off his skills.

He watched the surveillance video over and over several times.

Wang Ju massaged his temples and picked up his phone.

First, he notified the plainclothes officers he had stationed along the Cash Transport Vehicle route to return.

Then, he dialed Han Fei's number.

"Lao Han… you don't need to guard the Cash Transport Vehicle anymore; Xu Mo just robbed the bank and has already gotten away."

"Robbing a bank?" Han Fei was slightly startled: "Wasn't he after the Cash Transport Vehicle? Why rob a bank? Didn't he think the cash inside was insufficient?"

Wang Ju gave a wry smile.

"Yes, he thought the bank's cash was too little, so he stole the gold bars inside—exactly seventy kilograms of gold bars, seventy kilograms, that's one hundred forty jin…"

On the other end, Han Fei fell silent for a long time; he could hardly believe it.

"Seventy… kilograms?"

"Yes, seventy kilograms, worth over 26 million, and he even stole a BMW 5 Series… sigh, I still have things to handle here, I'll hang up now." After saying that, Wang Ju cut the call.

At this moment, his mind was in chaotic turmoil.

His heart felt as if a massive stone pressed down on it.

He never could have imagined the situation would develop like this.

In fact, Han Fei also didn't feel great inside.

He could tell.

In Lao Wang's tone there was a sense of blame, blaming him for providing erroneous intelligence that caused the mission's failure.

But Han Fei replied.

"I'm also damn falsely accused!"

Xu Mo's plan was told to him by Chief Director Song Yixue.

How could he have thought the intelligence was wrong?

"The Program Crew deliberately deceived people?" Han Fei thought.

Thinking that, Han Fei frowned.

He immediately called Song Yixue.

Program Backstage.

Song Yixue was staring blankly at the computer.

Suddenly, the phone placed nearby rang.

The shrill ringtone instantly caught her attention.

She picked up the phone and looked.

She found it was Han Fei calling.

Song Yixue gave a wry smile and massaged her temples.

She knew exactly why Han Fei was calling.

So even before the call connected, Song Yixue already felt the awkwardness.

The intel about Xu Mo hijacking the Cash Transport Vehicle was what she told Han Fei.

Result…

Xu Mo, however, didn't go to rob the cash transport vehicle.

Instead, he went and robbed the gold bars in the bank!

What will the Investigation Team think?

Sheer Cliff will think that she, for the program's ratings, deliberately deceived the Investigation Team.

And even if she explains, the Investigation Team members are likely too sharp to believe her.

"Xu Mo, you liar! A belly full of bad water!!", Song Yixue stamped her foot in anger.

The outgoing call went unanswered for a long time.

Han Fei already had a suspicion in his mind.

Without waiting for Song Yixue to answer, he hung up himself.

When Wang Ju called earlier, the other three members of the Investigation Team were listening nearby.

Naturally, they also knew that Xu Mo had already succeeded.

At this moment, the four of them all wore very grim expressions.

"Did the Program Crew, to make the program run longer, collude with Xu Mo to play us?", Li Chen speculated.

"Not necessarily; that's just one possibility," Han Fei shook his head. "Another possibility is that Xu Mo fooled the Program Crew, causing the Program Crew, unaware, to transmit false information to us."

Shen Manni also spoke at this point.

"But regardless of which possibility, it means we can never heed any opinion of the Program Crew again."

Song Yixue was watching from the Program Backstage.

Thus she heard the four's conversation loud and clear.

After pondering repeatedly, she still decided to give an explanation.

But making a phone call would be too awkward.

So Song Yixue chose to send a message.

"Han Team, I am also a victim; this time Xu Mo deceived me. I didn't know this would happen beforehand. Sorry, Han Team, I caused you trouble."

Han Fei glanced over the message.

He didn't say much.

The situation is just like that, after all.

Even if Song Yixue hadn't sent a message to explain.

They had already deduced the outcome.

Either the Program Crew deliberately misled them.

Or Xu Mo deceived the Program Crew, using the Program Crew as a weapon.

But regardless of which case.

They all must be careful.

They can no longer listen to the Program Crew in the future.

Having watched this long livestream.

The Water Friends have roughly figured it out.

Xu Mo played the Program Crew, and the Program Crew, unaware, misled the Investigation Team.

While Xu Mo was still eating, he used Hacker Technique to execute a Golden Cicada Shedding Shell.

He likely did this to prevent the program's recording from leaking information.

Just when everyone thought Xu Mo was still eating.

He had already robbed the bank and left with seventy kilograms of gold bars.

In the Live Broadcast Room, Danmaku flowed like water.

"Xu Mo is awesome! This is even more intense than a spy movie!?"

"I suspect that when Xu Mo is idle at home he loves to read Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-Six Stratagems; this sowing discord move is played too well!"

"We even started out defending Xu Mo; who could have imagined that Xu Mo had already anticipated the Program Crew would dirty play with the Investigation Team, and also managed to fool them all along."

"Now the Investigation Team members probably will never heed the Program Crew's opinions; this means Xu Mo can act freely under the cameras in the future, right?"

……

Bank.

The officers and the Bomb Disposal Expert haven't arrived yet.

Ten minutes have already passed.

There are only ten minutes left until the bank explodes.

At this moment, the bank's main door had already been jammed from the outside with a stick by Xu Mo.

Trying to open the door from inside is impossible; someone must pull the stick out from outside.

With only ten minutes left, the bomb will explode.

The officers can't wait any longer; if they don't want to be blown away, they must get out first.

Those trapped inside began shouting for help loudly.

"Help! Who can pull that stick outside out?"

"Big Brother, Big Brother, help! Can you pull the stick stuck on the door out?"

At that shout, indeed a Big Brother appeared, ready to step forward and help.

However, at that moment, a person inside the bank, emotionally agitated, spoke up.

"Big Brother, hurry! There's a timed bomb left by the robber inside the bank; it's about to explode! Time is tight!"

Big Brother heard.

His face turned white in a flash.

Robbers? Timed Bomb?

Or a Timed Bomb that's about to explode??

One second later…

"Everyone, run!! There's a bomb in the bank! It's about to explode!!"

The people outside the bank instantly dispersed completely…

The crowd in the bank: "???"

"Who said that just now? You damn it, get out!"
