Chapter 140: What Are You Staring At? Get Moving!

Standing at the doorway, Han Fei looked at the other three.

"Are you ready?"

The three nodded one after another.

Chen Ke even assumed a pose of rubbing his fists together.

He was already impatient to rush in and give Xu Mo a good beating.

Because this kid had embarrassed him in front of so many Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room, not beating him up hard would not ease Chen Ke's resentment!

In the next second, Han Fei rang the doorbell.

Xu Mo and his party simultaneously looked toward the villa's front gate.

"A guest at your place?" Xu Mo asked.

An Youyi didn't even think and simply shook her head.

"Definitely not; I've never lived here, and even if there were guests, they wouldn't come here."

Before Xu Mo could ask, she added, "I didn't order any delivery either."

Xu Mo stared at the door expressionlessly.

It's neither a guest nor a delivery guy, and since An Youyi said she never lived here, it can't be a courier either.

The person who rang the doorbell could very well be the Investigation Team.

Zhou Qiaoqiao also thought of that, and a look of panic appeared on her face.

"It can't be the Investigation Team, can it?"

At those words, Yang Jingxuan and An Youyi panicked as well: "The Investigation Team? What should we do?"

"Could it be the property management?" Li Jiaxin said, staring at the door anxiously.

Compared with the four of them, Xu Mo appeared unusually calm.

Not even a hint of panic could be seen on his face.

Because from the start, Xu Mo had already thought of a response.

Even if the Investigation Team arrived, he wasn't afraid.

Thus what Xu Mo needed to do now was to confirm whether the person who rang the doorbell was indeed the Investigation Team.

"Just look through the Cat Eye and you'll know."

Walking to the spot behind the door, Xu Mo searched for a while but couldn't locate the Cat Eye.

He couldn't help turning back to glance at An Youyi.

"Your door doesn't have a Cat Eye installed?"

He couldn't understand.

An Youyi is so wealthy, she even bought a villa; why wouldn't she install a better door?

She doesn't even have a Cat Eye!

"What is a Cat Eye?" An Youyi seemed a bit puzzled.

Xu Mo was initially stunned, then explained.

"It's a small eye on the door, about the size of a one‑cent coin; before opening the door you can look through the Cat Eye to see who is standing outside, and you can choose not to open for strangers."

He paused briefly, and Xu Mo, out of goodwill, added.

"You'd better replace it with a door that has a Cat Eye; the Cat Eye is important—at least before opening you can know who's outside, which is safer..."

Xu Mo hadn't finished his sentence.

An Youyi walked to the doorway and pressed a spot on an Electronic Screen there.

"I get what you mean; the Cat Eye you're talking about is probably similar to this. There's a camera at the entrance, and pressing this button lets you see outside."

Xu Mo: "..."

He was speechless.

The Clown turned out to be himself.

It had originally been a well‑meaning reminder.

It ended up being needless worry.

It also exposed his lack of knowledge about this.

There is no Cat Eye because they don't need such a backward device.

Rich people's doorways all have cameras...

That Electronic Screen is linked to a hidden Wide‑angle Camera outside the door.

Just one press, and the Wide‑angle Camera's field captures the doorway completely.

And it's freaking high‑definition.

This thing is far stronger than a Cat Eye.

The Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room started sending Danmaku at this moment.

"Xu Mo: 'You'd better get a door with a Cat Eye'"

"Xu Mo: 'The Cat Eye is important'"

"Hahahahaha, this cracks me up; turns out there's stuff Xu Mo doesn't know either."

"Now it's ruined; tens of millions of viewers now know he's clueless."

"..."

Through the Electronic Screen by the door.

Xu Mo and his party saw the situation at the doorway.

Standing outside the door were, unmistakably, the four members of the Investigation Team.

Seeing this, Zhou Qiaoqiao, Yang Jingxuan, An Youyi, and Li Jiaxin were completely panicked.

"What's to be done? They've come."

"We won't just get caught like this, will we?"

"It's over, it's over… I was hoping to do something big by joining the program, and now they'll catch us without us doing anything…"

"Don't we have a warning protocol? Why didn't that thing give an early alert?"

The difference from them is that

Xu Mo looks unusually calm.

As if the Investigation Team outside the door has nothing to do with him.

In fact, Xu Mo's composure stems from having envisioned this outcome long ago.

He is not the type to take one step at a time; before acting, he calculates every possible scenario.

And he prepares for the worst of those possible situations.

Having prepared in advance allows him to break the deadlock at the crucial moment.

Xu Mo has a trump card.

Even if he doesn't know how the Investigation Team bypassed his written warning protocol to get here, he still has a trump for such a situation.

And that trump is Li Jiaxin, the Sanda expert.

"What should we do, Xu Mo?" Yang Jingxuan tugged at Xu Mo's sleeve.

She knows that at a moment like this, they can only place their hope on Xu Mo.

Not only Yang Jingxuan; the other three also turned to look at Xu Mo.

"What to do?" Xu Mo smiled. "It's a cold dish, they've already come to the door; what else can we do? Just surrender."

He paused briefly, then continued.

"Anyway, the ransom from the Program Crew and the Gold Bar we stole from the bank are enough for me to live lavishly for a while; if we get caught, so be it."

It was unexpected by everyone.

Xu Mo actually chose to slack off at this critical moment.

"How can that work? I just joined the program and haven't done anything yet; I don't want it to end like this!" Li Jiaxin said.

Seeing this, a barely perceptible smile flashed on Xu Mo's face, then vanished in an instant.

That's exactly the effect he wanted!

The next second, Xu Mo looked at Li Jiaxin with a troubled expression.

"The method isn't absent… it mainly depends on whether you have the guts."

"What method? Just tell me, as long as we don't get caught!" Li Jiaxin replied without hesitation.

"Perhaps… would you dare a Police Assault?"

Li Jiaxin: "???"

Zhou Qiaoqiao: "???"

Yang Jingxuan: "???"

An Youyi: "???"

Well, that's Xu Mo's method?

Police Assault? Crazy??

He saw the four's surprised faces.

Xu Mo shrugged.

"If you don't dare, then there's nothing more to say—just open the door and surrender."

It's true that Li Jiaxin is his trump.

But that trump herself doesn't even know she's Xu Mo's trump.

Xu Mo didn't tell Li Jiaxin in advance because he feared that once informed, she would back out.

After all, not everyone dares a Police Assault.

He knows people need to be forced.

In extremely urgent situations, people are more likely to make impulsive decisions.

For example… a Police Assault!

To make the scene more urgent and force Li Jiaxin into the most impulsive decision, Xu Mo opened the big door outright.

After opening the door, he rushed at the four members of the Investigation Team, smiled, and showed a set of big white teeth.

At this moment, Xu Mo hadn't fully Disguised himself as a common face, so the Investigation Team could still recognize him.

Xu Mo was smiling.

Han Fei instinctively felt something was off.

When this kid smiled, it surely meant no good!

The next second, a sandbag-sized fist struck his face, and he didn't even have time to react.

He hadn't expected Xu Mo to come up and punch him right away.

At this moment, Han Fei had only one thought.

Has Xu Mo gone mad??

Xu Mo's punch flew out, and he didn't forget to turn his head toward Li Jiaxin.

"Stop standing there, act! Hit him!"
