Chapter 15: Xu Mo's Provocation

As a wanted target, he swaggered right past three Investigation Team members under their very noses.

This feeling was simply exhilarating!

Xu Mo had never felt such excitement before; it was far more thrilling than his usual three‑point line life of being either at home or at the company.

There was a strange, indescribable thrill!

The Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room were clearly pumped up, repeatedly spamming 666…

"So daring, this episode's Xu Mo is just too daring!"

"Hahaha, the Investigation Team members must be completely baffled."

"Who could have imagined Xu Mo would disguise himself as a delivery guy."

……

Xu Mo clearly couldn't see the Water Friends' praise for him; the elevator kept descending, and the red numbers on the display kept dropping.

Finally, with a "ding", the elevator stopped at the first floor and automatically opened its doors; as soon as Xu Mo stepped out, his eyes involuntarily narrowed a little.

Because among the people normally using the elevator,

one person stood out particularly.

This person, seeing the elevator reach the first floor, neither entered nor left the doorway, but stared at the elevator with both eyes.

Not only that.

Their attention also shifted to the stairwell beside it.

The Investigation Team had more than just the three who went up!

There was also the person right in front of them.

Xu Mo instantly understood.

But it wasn't surprising, because this was the most logical move: to prevent him from escaping, someone had to guard the exit.

He needed to leave quickly.

Otherwise, the three upstairs would definitely catch on.

Xu Mo's steps moved slowly.

Near the elevator, Chen Ke naturally also saw Xu Mo, his gaze fixed on him, but upon noticing Xu Mo's delivery uniform and the delivery helmet on his head, his suspicion instantly dropped by a large margin.

At the same time.

In room 2404.

Han Fei, Li Chen, and Shen Manni entered Xu Mo's room and began searching everywhere.

After a quick search, they saw not a single figure.

"Xu Mo ran!"

"That kid's speed is pretty fast," Li Chen said in the kitchen.

"The female celebrity Yang Jingxuan, who was a hostage, also disappeared together."

Shen Manni exchanged words with Li Chen.

Han Fei ignored their conversation and fixed his gaze on the delivery package on the coffee table in the living room.

"Han Team, did you notice anything?"

Noticing Han Fei's situation, Shen Manni asked.

Han Fei gave no reply, walked to the coffee table, placed his palm on the delivery box, and felt it still hot—not just warm, but the fresh heat of a box that had just been opened.

He said to Shen Manni, "The delivery box is still scorching; Xu Mo definitely hasn't gone far. When we arrived, he even ordered a delivery. This guy's nerve is really bold!"

"Ordered a delivery!"

Shen Manni was stunned; she hadn't expected that Xu Mo, as a wanted criminal, would still have the leisure to order a delivery in this situation.

Someone like that is either insane!

Or extremely confident.

Confident even when ordering.

From the situation before us,

Xu Mo is undoubtedly the second type.

Because he indeed escaped.

Shen Manni and the others hadn't encountered any suspicious person when they came up.

Wait…

That delivery guy just now!!

Scorching delivery.

The delivery guy looking down at his phone.

"Xu Mo isn't bold for the sake of boldness; this guy ordered the delivery not to eat it, but for the uniform on the delivery guy. That delivery guy just now could very well be Xu Mo in disguise!" Shen Manni shouted.

With Shen Manni's reminder,

Han Fei also realized; the delivery guy had been looking down at his phone the whole time, never raising his head. Han Fei had thought the guy was in a hurry because his order was about to time out, but now it seemed he was likely avoiding their gaze.

That speculation is very likely!

Han Fei immediately grabbed his phone, ready to alert Chen Ke, who was watching from below.

At that moment…

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a blasting sound erupted from the kitchen.

"What's happening!"

The sudden explosion startled all three, their nerves jumping.

Li Chen, who was in the kitchen, felt it most deeply.

He saw the microwave in the kitchen explode, spewing a huge cloud of flour, and it quickly caught fire.

Seeing this, Li Chen immediately reached out, grabbed the basin hanging on the wall to try to extinguish the fire.

He took it.

A sheet the size of a diary fell out of the basin.

He instinctively glanced at it.

On the paper, it read…

"Members of the Investigation Team, I hope you don't treat this as a game; I want you to treat me as a real Wanted Status criminal and play without leaving any room, that will excite me. You say, if what I put in the microwave wasn't a bag of flour but combustible material, some nails, and scrap iron, when it exploded, what would happen to someone in the kitchen?"

"So, in this live broadcast, I'll let you know that real criminals aren't that simple; show me your strength."
