Chapter 159: The Criminal and the Police Clash

After a brief daze.

Xiao Jiang reached out and felt his left chest.

His heart was still beating.

I'm not dead.

It gave him a fright!

Clenching his pain, he sat up and said, "I'm not dead!"

But just as he sat up, Han Fei pressed him down onto the ground.

"No, you're dead…well, not exactly. You sacrificed yourself while apprehending Xu Mo. Shut up now; the dead can't speak."

Xiao Jiang: "……"

"No, Han Team, I…"

Before he could finish, Han Fei reached out and covered his mouth: "You're already sacrificed."

As he said that, Han Fei also gestured to the two officers beside him.

"Send them back to the Police Station; see how Lao Wang decides—either paid leave or never allowed to take part in any operation chasing Xu Mo again."

"Yes, Han Team," the two officers nodded.

Han Fei waved his hand and said nothing more.

His mood was somewhat low.

Inside, strong guilt and self‑blame rose in him.

The 'dead' character on the officer's forehead rang a warning bell in Han Fei's heart.

This time was different from before.

Although they still hadn't caught Xu Mo before.

But there had never been an officer 'sacrificed' before.

All along, Han Fei had treated the capture of Xu Mo merely as a task in the show.

Over time, he even nearly forgot that Xu Mo was playing a criminal.

He's a vicious, extremely cruel kidnapper!

He's the criminal who personally planned and executed a particularly heinous kidnapping of a female star.

Ask yourself: would a criminal bold enough to kidnap a female star and taunt the Police dare not kill?

The answer is a definite yes.

Such an arrogant criminal, what wouldn't he dare to do?

If Xu Mo were a real criminal.

Then what those four officers face wouldn't be as simple as a 'dead' character on their foreheads.

It would be a real sacrifice!

And it would be because of his mistaken decision.

Han Fei knows that from now on every one of his decisions is crucial.

Each step of action must tolerate no error whatsoever.

Because every mistake he makes could cause an officer's sacrifice or an ordinary person's tragic death.

What he faces is a vicious, extremely cruel criminal, not a Challenger in a program.

Attentive Water Friends quickly noticed Han Fei's abnormality.

"Why does Han Fei seem like a different person?"

"I've noticed it too; his gaze looks a bit different from before."

"He's getting serious, probably because the 'sacrifice' of those four officers stimulated him."

"The stimulus is definitely huge; those four officers 'sacrificed' themselves due to Han Fei's faulty decision. If it's a real Escapee, it wouldn't be as simple as a word on the forehead."

"Looks like Xu Mo is in danger!"

"……"

At this moment, the shift in mindset isn't limited to Han Fei alone.

It also includes Xu Mo.

The instant a 'dead' character was written on an officer's forehead.

Xu Mo realized his previous thoughts and actions were seriously flawed.

He had preconceived himself into the role of a Challenger in the show.

From start to finish, what Xu Mo was doing was merely to toy with the Investigation Team, nothing more.

He hadn't taken any extreme actions.

But how could a fugitive being pursued merely toy with the Investigation Team?

A cornered criminal should commit every possible evil.

If you play a criminal, play it convincingly.

Perhaps it could even earn a better reward.

Both of them corrected their mindsets.

That means the upcoming clash won't be between program Challengers.

But a collision between a vicious, extremely cruel criminal and the righteous Police!

…

After leaving the clubhouse.

Xu Mo drove An Youyi's red Cayenne to Lvcheng Jiangnanli.

At this moment, Zhou Qiaoqiao, Yang Jingxuan, An Youyi and Li Jiaxin were also sitting on the sofa in the villa, waiting for Xu Mo to come over.

Ding—dong

The villa's Doorbell rang.

An Youyi went to the entrance and turned on the camera mounted outside the villa.

When she saw that the one who rang the Doorbell was Xu Mo, she opened the front door without a word.

"Did you shake them off? Are you okay?" An Youyi asked.

Xu Mo first nodded.

Then he walked to the side of the sofa.

He picked up a bottle of water on the coffee table and took a sip.

Then, looking at the four girls in turn, he said with a serious expression.

"I just killed four officers; the Police will certainly not let this go, and what we'll face next is the Police's endless fury."

Hearing this, and watching Xu Mo's very serious expression,

the four of them were all stunned.

What the heck?

Xu Mo must be crazy!

Seeing the four's expressions were rather vivid, he feared he might scare them.

Xu Mo hurriedly explained.

"It's not what you think; I only wrote the character 'Dead' on their foreheads."

He paused briefly, then continued.

"But the difference is minor; according to the game rules, those four officers are dead, they can no longer appear in the operation to capture me. My action will inevitably be seen by the Police as provocation; they certainly won't tolerate it. I guess they'll intensify their pursuit of us."

After hearing Xu Mo's explanation,

the four finally let out a sigh of relief.

Just now, looking at Xu Mo's expression, we thought it was real!

Turns out he only wrote 'Dead' on the forehead, that's okay then.

"You scared me to death," Yang Jingxuan patted her chest and said.

Because Yang Jingxuan suddenly spoke up, Xu Mo fixed his gaze on her.

"Do you know what your status is?"

"Me?" Yang Jingxuan pointed at herself, "I'm a star."

"Wrong, you're a hostage. I should tie you up and Tear Ticket, or just Tear Ticket outright, or… after having fun, Tear Ticket," Xu Mo said, ending with a malicious grin.

Yang Jingxuan: "???"

Either way, I can't escape the Tear Ticket, huh!

She of course also understood the Tear Ticket Xu Mo mentioned.

It's not the traditional sense of Tear Ticket.

But the kind that kicks her out of the show.

Can she agree to that?

"No, no, no… I disagree!" Yang Jingxuan shook her head vigorously.

The program just got hot, and they want to eliminate her?

Impossible!

To make Xu Mo change his mind,

Yang Jingxuan played the emotional card.

"Although I didn't do you a huge favor, I did help a lot in small ways; you can't Tear Ticket…"

In order to stay in the program, she even entertained the idea of joining: "I want to join! I also want to be a robber!"

Xu Mo smiled.

He then took the four guns he had seized from the officers out from his waist and placed them on the coffee table.

"Joining is fine; in view of the help you gave me, I can give you this chance, but you must give a pledge of allegiance to join."

"There are four guns here; let's go big! They're chasing me so tightly, I need to show them the consequences of pushing me to the edge."
