Chapter 117: Sunset Red Nursing Home

He looked at the phone number.

Han Fei discovered that the MMS sender and the number that just called him were the same.

And he also noticed a detail.

The angle of this photo was very low.

At first glance, it looked like a photo taken while crouching on the ground.

The four members of the Investigation Team stared at the photo Han Fei had received for a while.

Then they all looked up and exchanged glances.

A hint of excitement flickered in each of their eyes.

Not long ago, they were still worrying about how to find any clue about Xu Mo.

Who would have thought the clue would come right to their doorstep.

It was as if they were being fed the very meal they were looking for!

Even Han Fei, who had been skeptical a moment ago, now had his doubts completely dispelled.

After all, it involved both a phone call providing a clue and a photo.

It was hard for him not to believe.

The key was that every detail was flawless.

For example, when that kid called earlier, the tone and manner of speaking were exactly what a child would use.

It didn't seem like anyone had taught him to deceive.

The kid also said on the phone.

He called the Investigation Team because he was afraid that Xu Mo, the "bad guy," would hurt his grandmother.

And there was also this photo.

The photo was taken from a very low angle.

That matched the child's height perfectly.

Moreover, Xu Mo in the photo was captured without his knowledge.

Every detail could stand up to scrutiny.

"Haha, Xu Mo probably never even dreamed that enthusiastic citizens would hand us his clues," Chen Ke said cheerfully.

"Exactly, he definitely couldn't have imagined it," Li Chen laughed along. "What do you call this? He who wins the people's hearts wins the world! Even the kid knows we're good people and deliberately called to give us clues! What can Xu Mo do to fight us?"

The Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room watched the two with such confidence.

They couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha, this is killing me, look at those two!"

"Xu Mo: Got it, so what? These clues were actually given to you by enthusiastic citizens at my request!"

"Sorry, sir, the public's favor has already been taken by them; the kid already thinks you're the bad guys."

"I just love their unruly demeanor, it's so entertaining."

"……"

Their performance not only made the Water Friends laugh.

Even Han Fei felt a bit helpless and couldn't help but interrupt the two who were bragging.

"Alright, alright, stop showing off. The public's favor isn't something we just take; it's hard‑won by senior officers. The enthusiastic citizens voluntarily gave us information out of respect for the police, not to let the villain run free."

Shen Manni also spoke up at this moment.

"Look at the caregiver's uniform Xu Mo is wearing; there's lettering on it, probably the name of this nursing home."

Hearing this, the three of them refocused their attention on the photo.

After Shen Manni's remark, the three all noticed this.

"There really is writing!"

"It just wasn't captured fully—'Red Nursing Home'? There must be other characters before the red one."

"In this photo Xu Mo is turned sideways; maybe we should have the kid take a front‑facing shot, capture the full name of the nursing home, so we can locate it more easily."

The suggestion was immediately rejected by Han Fei.

"No. If we take another picture and Xu Mo spots it, wouldn't that be alerting him? One good shot is enough."

He paused briefly, then continued.

"One photo is still a clue; we can just search the keyword 'Red Nursing Home' on the map, right?"

Hearing that, the three nodded.

Having the kid take another shot could indeed alert Xu Mo and cause them to miss a chance to capture him.

Immediately after,

Han Fei opened the map on his phone.

He searched the keyword 'Red Nursing Home' on the map.

Only one result appeared.

It was named 'Sunset Red Nursing Home'.

"Found it—Sunset Red. Xu Mo is hiding in that nursing home," Han Fei said.

There was no time to lose.

The four members of the Investigation Team

set off immediately.

Fearing that if they arrived late, Xu Mo would run away again.

……

Welfare Institute.

Dun Dun wore a grieving expression.

"Handsome brother, did I not perform well just now? I... I couldn't answer anything."

The things Xu Mo had him memorize.

He couldn't recall even a single one.

So, for the questions asked, he was completely clueless.

He could only give very vague answers.

He couldn't even recall the name of the Nursing Home.

At this moment, Dun Dun was very worried that he couldn't help Xu Mo.

Instead, he was being a hindrance.

But Xu Mo smiled and patted Dun Dun's head.

That's the effect he wanted!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen a forgetful child from among so many kids.

"How could you not have performed well? Dun Dun, you're the best! You performed even better than I imagined."

"But..." Dun Dun still felt he hadn't performed well: "I didn't answer any of his questions, and I forgot everything you showed me, handsome brother."

Xu Mo shook his head.

"Who said you didn't answer any? Didn't you tell him your name? That's already great."

Dun Dun stared up at Xu Mo in a daze, inhaling sharply.

So, just being able to remember one's own name is already great?

Seeing Dun Dun's expression, Xu Mo smiled again and gently patted his little head.

"You're truly wonderful, little Dun Dun."

At that moment, the director of the Welfare Institute, accompanied by the teachers, walked over.

When they arrived, the teachers had already briefed the director on the general situation.

The director came to get acquainted and to thank Xu Mo and his group for their contributions to the Welfare Institute.

The sharp-eyed children had already noticed that the director had arrived.

Before Xu Mo's party and the director could even speak,

the children had already introduced both sides to each other.

"Handsome brother, beautiful sisters, this is our Director Wang."

"Director Wang, this is handsome brother, and these two are beautiful sisters!"

Hearing this, Director Wang smiled and extended his hand.

"Hello, what are the three of your surnames?"

Xu Mo also reached out and shook Director Wang's hand, and without missing a beat, casually made up a lie.

"My surname is Li, Li Lei."

Zhou Qiaoqiao and Yang Jingxuan both turned sharply toward Xu Mo.

Surname Li? Li Lei?

Aren't you called Xu Mo!

Someone asked you your name, why lie!

Li Lei? Isn't that the kid from the English textbook?

Why don't you say you're Han Meimei?

Both of them knew Xu Mo's real name, and also knew he was lying.

But Director Wang didn't know.

Director Wang first offered some polite words, thanking the three of Xu Mo's party.

"Hello Mr. Li, thank you all three for your contributions to the Welfare Institute…"

Then, he turned his gaze to Zhou Qiaoqiao and Yang Jingxuan.

"By the way, could these two ladies disclose their names? The donations we receive at the Welfare Institute must have the donors' names recorded."

Both women were startled for a moment.

They hadn't intended to reveal their real names.

Because Xu Mo also didn't give his real name!

Although they didn't know why Xu Mo did this, his action must have some purpose.

So, the two decided to make up a false name.

Zhou Qiaoqiao: "My name is Han Meimei!"

Yang Jingxuan: "My name is Han Meimei!"

Now it's awkward…
