Chapter 178: Xu Mo's Visit Here

"Beep... beep... beep..."

After a few dozen seconds, the call was automatically disconnected because no one answered.

Han Fei dialed again.

While dialing, he muttered to himself.

"Isn't this nonsense? Sending so many people to hunt a wolf?"

After waiting another few dozen seconds, Wang Ju still didn't answer the call Han Fei placed.

Han Fei gradually realized that something was off.

He knew well that, because of work, Lao Wang's phone would never be on silent, let alone turned off.

Under normal circumstances, it would always be reachable.

When you call him, he always answers within seconds.

Two consecutive calls failing to get through is highly abnormal!

Han Fei stopped dialing.

Instead, he furrowed his brows and looked at the officers before him.

He could see that the people in front of him were almost the entire force of the Police Station.

Deploying everyone like this doesn't fit Lao Wang's style.

He wouldn't do something like that.

There's a problem.

"You say Lao Wang sent you?" Han Fei asked the officers, looking at them.

"Yes," a officer nodded. "Wang Ju said you have already found a clue and can soon capture Xu Mo, so we are here to assist you and aim to catch Xu Mo as early as possible."

Han Fei was stunned.

He found a clue?

And can soon capture Xu Mo?

How could he not know about this!

A clue? He has no clue at all.

Right now he has not a single clue.

Moreover, after literally pulling an all‑night vigil, he still didn't obtain any clue.

"Are you sure Lao Wang said that?" Han Fei stared at the officer who had just spoken and asked.

The officer stammered.

"Yes... yes, they can all testify; everyone heard it."

The remaining officers also began to speak one after another.

"Han Team, Wang Ju indeed said that; we can all testify."

"That's right, Han Team, it was Wang Ju who sent us."

"He said we should all come out to help you, so we can catch Xu Mo sooner..."

"..."

At this moment, Han Fei's brows were twisted into a 'river' shape.

After glancing at the fact that the arriving officers were all male, he spoke.

"The few women from the bureau didn't come, right? Who has their numbers? Call them and let them see what Lao Wang is up to with this Mischief, and why they're not answering the phone."

The words hung in the air.

Immediately, an officer pulled out a phone and dialed out.

"Speaker on," Han Fei said.

"Beep... beep... beep..."

After a while, the call was automatically disconnected because no one answered.

Exactly the same as with Wang Ju.

"Han Team... no answer, I'll call again."

Just as the officer was about to place another call,

Han Fei suddenly inhaled sharply, as if something had occurred to him.

He suddenly felt that this might be related to Xu Mo.

This is Xu Mo's doing!

"Stop calling, recall the team back to the Police Station!"

"Does anyone have a computer? Locate Lao Wang's phone."

The officers shook their heads, indicating none had one.

…

Police Station.

When Han Fei and his party returned, they saw a scene that had never appeared before.

The Police Station's main gate had been locked from the inside with a lock!

Now not only Han Fei, but even the officers realized something was wrong.

They immediately contacted the nearest lock‑smith.

Five minutes later, the lock‑smith arrived.

Han Fei pointed a finger at the lock hanging on the gate.

"Master, please open this lock."

Hearing that, the lock‑picking master was stunned.

He glanced at Han Fei, then at a group of officers in police uniforms, and then at the lock on the Police Station door.

Being called by an officer over the phone to help unlock something wasn't the first time he'd encountered that.

But the situation before him… truly was the first he'd ever seen in his life!

Did the officer forget to bring the key?

Or did some reckless scoundrel prank by deliberately locking the Police Station's main door?

Both of those guesses were hard for him to believe!

"Master, could you hurry up and unlock it?" Han Fei asked, her face anxious.

"Ah… okay, okay, I'll unlock it right now."

As he said so, the lock‑picking master pulled out his eating tools.

In three swift moves he opened the lock hanging on the door: "It's open."

"Thanks, Master!" Han Fei said.

Immediately after, she rushed straight in.

The first thing that caught her eye was several sheets of paper stuck to the white wall of the Da Ting with Transparent Tape.

Each sheet bore writing.

Read together, they formed: Xu Mo was here (??????????).

"I knew it was that kid causing trouble again!" Han Fei fumed.

Writing on paper and sticking it to the wall was one thing.

But damn, drawing a ghost face too!?

Of course, he didn't pay much attention to the papers on the wall.

What he cared about more was the safety of his old friend.

From the various clues, Han Fei could guess that Lao Wang was either being coerced by Xu Mo or simply tied up!

"Lao Wang, Lao Wang, are you there?" Han Fei called out while walking inside.

But at that moment, she heard the voices of those female officers.

"Han Team."

She looked toward the source of the voice.

Han Fei discovered the five female officers shackled to the table legs.

Red marks were left on the wrists of the female officers.

These were caused by their attempts to forcefully break free.

"What's your situation? Where's Lao Wang? Where is he?" Han Fei asked.

The female officers all shook their heads.

"Don't know."

"He was taken away by Xu Mo?" Han Fei asked, while signaling the officers to fetch a key and unlock their Handcuffs.

The female officers took turns recounting what had happened.

"No, the one who came earlier wasn't Wang Ju, it was Xu Mo; he disguised himself as Wang Ju and sent everyone away…"

The officers were all stunned.

"That wasn't Wang Ju!?!"

"I told you it felt a bit off."

"Xu Mo actually disguised himself as Wang Ju to deceive people, he…"

Besides being bewildered, the officers felt more self‑blame.

They blamed themselves for not noticing that something was wrong with that 'Wang Ju' at the time.

But the problem wasn't really theirs.

After all, even if one sensed something amiss, who would dare question their leader?

After hearing the female officers' words, Han Fei couldn't make sense of it.

Xu Mo impersonated Lao Wang to send everyone away just to write a few words on paper and stick them to the wall to disgust people?

But she also knew it wasn't the time to dwell on that.

The most important thing now was to find out where the real Wang Ju was!

On the way in, Han Fei had also tried calling Wang Ju several times.

But no one answered.

She could now almost determine that Wang Ju had gotten into trouble!

"Locate Lao Wang's phone, quickly."

The officers' phones are specially made, able to be located through the police system at any time, even when turned off, with precise accuracy!

Han Fei wanted to try locating Wang Ju's phone to see if she could find him.

At this moment she hoped desperately that Wang Ju had merely missed the call rather than been in trouble.

Because if Wang Ju had gotten into trouble, the problem would be huge!
