Chapter 14: A Close Pass, the Microwave About to Explode

Knock knock knock!

The door outside kept being knocked repeatedly.

The Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room watched with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Is the Investigation Team here?"

"No!"

Xu Mo glanced at his phone, looking at the time and distance shown in the app.

1 km.

The other party has already arrived.

He opened the door, and a yellow figure slowly appeared before Xu Mo.

"Mr. Xu, right?"

Xu Mo stared at the yellow helmet and clothes on the other person, then nodded, "Hmm."

"Your delivery."

The delivery guy handed the delivery bag to Xu Mo and said, "Please give a five‑star rating, thank you."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Xu Mo called out, "Wait."

"What is it?"

The delivery guy stopped, turned his head toward Xu Mo.

Xu Mo said slowly, "I want to buy your delivery helmet and the delivery jacket you're wearing."

"Why would you buy that?"

The delivery guy seemed a bit puzzled.

Xu Mo didn't elaborate, just tossed money and said, "Two thousand yuan, will you sell?"

"You're not kidding me, are you?"

The delivery guy was instantly stunned.

"Just kidding."

That delivery helmet on his head, plus the delivery jacket, is at most worth about two hundred yuan tops.

Now Xu Mo says he'll pay two thousand for it.

He thinks Xu Mo is messing with him.

"I'm not kidding," Xu Mo said seriously, "Have you seen the model? I have a date with a goddess, later I'm planning some adult fun, you know."

After that, he gave a smile that any man would understand.

"..."

The delivery guy instantly understood, thought "This guy really knows how to play," and immediately agreed, "Alright."

"Then come with me inside for a moment." Xu Mo entered the room and handed the delivery guy two thousand yuan.

The delivery guy, upon seeing the money, thought he had hit lucky dog‑shit luck today, earning an extra two thousand yuan for free—how many deliveries would he have to make to earn that?

Feeling pleased, he took off the jacket and helmet, handed them to Xu Mo, and said, "Mr. Wu, no problem, right? If it's fine, I'll leave now; there are still a few deliveries upstairs."

He was afraid Xu Mo might change his mind, so he wanted to leave quickly.

"All set, you may go." Xu Mo nodded.

The delivery guy only then left the room.

Xu Mo closed the door, put on the delivery uniform, and donned the delivery helmet.

He then opened the delivery and casually took a few bites of char siu.

Then he opened the door and walked out.

Although there was no Hidden Camera inside Xu Mo's room.

But the hallway surveillance camera captured Xu Mo pulling the delivery guy into the room, then a person who didn't look like Xu Mo walked out; shortly after, Xu Mo, now wearing the delivery uniform and helmet, also walked out.

Though Xu Mo's face was not visible.

Yet the Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room aren't fools; this back‑and‑forth instantly led many to guess Xu Mo's intention.

"6666, Xu Mo is unstoppable, playing so damn 6, I never expected this move."

"Haha, disguising as a delivery guy, not bad?"

"Look at that brain, I even thought he was really going to eat the delivery!"

"The Investigation Team definitely didn't expect Xu Mo to have turned into a delivery guy."

"They wouldn't react in time at first."

"I kind of want to see what happens next."

Accompanied by the Danmaku from the Water Friends.

As soon as Xu Mo stepped out of the door, a male‑female couple walked past him, chatting as they went.

"A police car showed up at the community gate; I have no idea why."

"Whatever it's for, you didn't do anything wrong, why worry?"

Their conversation caught Xu Mo's attention.

"Has the Investigation Team arrived?"

Xu Mo slightly frowned, walked to the elevator lobby, pressed the button, then glanced at the display; the right‑hand elevator was ascending, showing it had reached the 27th floor—likely the one the delivery guy took.

The left one displayed it was rising toward the 19th floor.

This is the elevator he will take.

In less than a minute.

The elevator displayed 20… 21… 22… 23…

It finally stopped at the 24th floor.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound rang out.

The elevator doors in front of him slowly opened, sliding into the gaps on both sides.

Three figures instantly appeared in Xu Mo's line of sight.

Xu Mo subconsciously glanced at the three people.

They were two men and a woman.

Their bearing seemed extraordinary, not like residents of the complex.

The three also looked toward Xu Mo.

They realized he was just a delivery guy.

Xu Mo lowered his head, hiding his face, pretended to read a message on his phone, giving the impression of hurrying to deliver an order.

Only then did the three shift their gaze from Xu Mo, speaking as they stepped out of the elevator.

"Which room does Xu Mo live in?"

"2403."

The three said this while heading toward 2403.

Xu Mo heard their conversation.

So these are members of the Investigation Team?

Under his delivery helmet, Xu Mo gave a faint smile and pressed the button for the first floor in the elevator.

The elevator doors were slowly closing, and the view down the hallway grew narrower.

Xu Mo saw the two men and the woman walk to his room door, knocking.

"Open the door!"

"Xu Mo, open the door quickly!"

"Knock knock knock!"

The three shouted for a while, but there was no response inside; Li Chen, standing nearby, said, "Looks like Xu Mo ran away?"

"Open the door and take a look," Han Fei said.

He then stepped back a few paces, then lunged forward, smashing the door open.

Accompanied by the door being forced open.

The elevator doors also shut tightly.

In the descending elevator.

Xu Mo let out a sigh of relief; although the Investigation Team members hadn't noticed him earlier, once they entered the room they would soon detect the trick from the barbecued pork rice on the table.

But that was deliberately left by Xu Mo.

It's a game; the fun is in the thrill.

Moreover.

Xu Mo also left a big gift for the Investigation Team that came to capture him.

A microwave about to explode!

————————

ps·I didn't expect anyone to actually find the book we wrote next door.

o(￣▽￣)d, yes, it was thrown over from there.

If we weren't the original author, would we dare do this?

That one wasn't under contract, so we tossed it here; the data's good, tb has no difficulty.

Just the speed of my hands, you all saw.

︿(￣︶￣)︿There are pros and cons; the upside is that payment turned into mf.

Here reading is mf; everyone reads without paying.

By the way, I have something today, the villain will be paused for a day.
