Chapter 154: Just Drinking Floral Wine—Is It Worth Raising a Gun?

In the elevator, hearing the sound from the intercom clipped to his waist and feeling the officers' scrutiny, the security guard was beyond embarrassed.

The look the reception just gave him was actually a signal the club had prepared for emergencies.

It meant he should turn off the intercom and buy some time.

During that interval, the reception would use the intercom to inform other staff, prompting them to caution the guests.

At least don't let the Police catch them red‑handed.

However…

This was the security guard's first time encountering such a situation.

In his nervousness, he even forgot to turn off the intercom!

Seeing the officers staring at him,

the guard even felt like digging a hole and crawling into it.

This was insanely awkward!

He scratched his head, switched off the intercom, gave an awkward smile, and began to explain.

"Haha… the reception is a bit mischievous, she… she, uh, was joking, yeah, just joking."

His explanation was obviously unconvincing.

So the officers in the elevator only gave a cold laugh and didn't respond to him.

At that moment, the officers were thinking,

After they capture Xu Mo, they'll also check this shop—a one‑stone‑two‑bird move!

Fearing that a long night brings more trouble.

Han Fei, with a cold expression, said to the guard,

"You don't need to explain so much. Investigating your shop isn't my goal, and I'm too lazy to do it. My goal is to catch the person in the 888 private room…"

"That person is an Escapee the Police are pursuing. I hope you'll be sensible and cooperate, and not lead us around in circles over some petty shop issue. You've probably heard of the charge of harboring an Escapee."

Hearing that,

the guard was momentarily stunned.

He certainly didn't want to be tagged with the crime of harboring a criminal!

Then, like a chick pecking at grain, he frantically nodded, "Cooperate! I'll cooperate, definitely cooperate with the police, sir!"

The elevator rose slowly.

With a 'Ding', the elevator doors opened.

The guard, without hesitation, stepped out first.

"Comrades, follow me; the 888 is this way!"

The officers, led by Han Fei, immediately followed.

In no time, the group arrived at the door of the 888 private room under the guard's lead.

The guard pointed at the room number hanging on the private‑room door and whispered, "This is it."

Seeing this, Han Fei first asked the guard a question.

"Does the private room have a back door, or is this the only entrance?"

"Just this one door! No back entrance," the guard replied.

Hearing that, Han Fei waved the guard away, "You can go about your business; this is no longer your concern."

As soon as the words finished, the guard, relieved, left without a word.

Although it was the guard's first time facing such a situation.

He also knew that the biggest taboo when guiding officers to capture an Escapee is letting the Escapee see his own face clearly.

If not now, when else to run?

After the guiding guard left,

Han Fei gave a signal to the officers accompanying him.

The next second, the officers simultaneously drew their guns, pointing the dark barrels at the private‑room door.

At Han Fei's command,

one officer stepped forward and, with a 'Bang', kicked the door open.

"Police!"

"Don't move!"

"Hands over your head, crouch on the ground!"

After the door was kicked open,

Han Fei saw the Disguised Xu Mo.

Because he had only ever seen a portrait before.

So he turned to Shen Manni, who had witnessed Xu Mo's entire Disguise, and asked, "Is that him?"

Shen Manni examined Xu Mo from head to toe.

Then she nodded emphatically, "He is Xu Mo!"

At that moment, Xu Mo stared blankly at the officers bursting through the door.

Instinctively, he slowly raised his hands.

His bewildered expression carried a hint of panic.

Because he saw that each officer held a gun!

Who the hell wouldn't be scared seeing that?

For a moment, Xu Mo's voice trembled.

"Com— comrades, if we have something to say, let's speak properly. So can you put your guns down first, okay?"

"I just came out to have a drink and kill time, there's no need to draw guns, right…"

He paused, then Xu Mo continued: "That's not even drinking flower wine! I didn't even call the princess, I just ordered a dozen beers to drink by myself."

"Stop f***ing pretending, you little brat! You think just because you Disguise me I won't recognize you?" Chen Ke, hot‑tempered, saw Xu Mo still putting on an act and couldn't help swearing.

With those words, Xu Mo seemed even more bewildered.

"Dis… Disguise? What Disguise?"

"Still pretending?" Chen Ke sneered as he walked toward Xu Mo: "If I don't give you a splash of color to see, you're probably unaware of how powerful I am."

Saying that, he actually prepared to beat Xu Mo up.

Fortunately, Han Fei intervened in time, telling Chen Ke: "Don't forget your own status!"

Although Han Fei also wanted to beat Xu Mo to vent.

But he knew very well that he was a police officer.

When the suspect is already restrained, a police officer taking action would definitely be wrong.

Moreover, their every move at that moment was being broadcast to the Water Friends through the cameras.

That makes it even more unacceptable to act without reason.

Otherwise, they'd be throwing the entire police force's reputation away!

After being stopped by Han Fei, Chen Ke angrily swung his fist in the air.

Strange, why is Xu Mo so cowardly this time?

Wasn't he brave the last time he got into a fight?

Since Xu Mo didn't strike first, it left Chen Ke unable to step in and punish him!

Chen Ke was puzzled.

Han Fei was equally puzzled.

Whether judging by his expression or his behavior, Xu Mo's conduct was unusually abnormal.

Moreover, he noticed another odd detail.

The four girls beside Xu Mo had disappeared!

In this private room, only he remained.

"Where's your helper?" Han Fei asked.

"What helper?" Xu Mo, on the verge of breaking down, said: "I really have no idea what you're talking about, who is Xu Mo, what helper!"

Han Fei involuntarily frowned.

There's something off.

At that moment, Li Chen approached, holding Handcuffs.

"Han Team, stop wasting words with him. Handcuff him and take him back to the Police Station; this farce will be over. We just need to capture Xu Mo; why are you concerned about his helper?"

When he reached Xu Mo's side,

Li Chen shook the silver Handcuffs with a grin and said, "Xu Mo, the game is over, you lost."

Strangely, there was not a hint of panic or despondency on Xu Mo's face.

Only confusion and bewilderment remained.

"How many times do you need me to say it? I really am not Xu Mo! If you don't believe me, you can look at my ID; my ID is right in my pocket."

"qnmd, if you're not Xu Mo, then who is Xu Mo? You think pretending to be stupid will be useful?" Saying that, Li Chen was already ready to cuff Xu Mo and take him away.

But Li Chen's move was also stopped by Han Fei.

He kept feeling something was off about this.

He stepped forward, reached into Xu Mo's pocket, and pulled out an ID.

The name on the ID was Zhang Wei.

Of course, a single ID alone doesn't prove anything.

Because everyone knows Xu Mo can forge documents.

It's possible the ID is fake, forged by Xu Mo.

Seeing Han Fei look at his ID, Xu Mo, emotional, explained:

"You see! My name is Zhang Wei. The Xu Mo you're talking about, I don't know at all. There must be a misunderstanding; you've got the wrong person, right?!"
