Chapter 188: What the heck? Did I burn it?

The next day at seven o'clock.

A news report shocked the entire Sakura Country and even the international community.

The Jin Country Divine Toilet in Sakura Country was burned again!

Indeed, this is the second time the Jin Country Divine Toilet has been burned.

Moreover, the damage this time is far more severe than the previous incident.

Flammable residues such as alcohol, paint, and gasoline were detected in the burn remnants.

They were afraid the burning wouldn't be thorough!

One could say that every spot in the Jin Country Divine Toilet that could be ignited was completely incinerated.

Even the walls that couldn't be set alight were drenched with gasoline and other flammables and forced to burn.

The Jin Country Divine Toilet was reduced to a ruin!

Evidence indicates that this arson of the Jin Country Divine Toilet was done by a West Eight Country person.

Because the doorway bore West Eight Country characters!

The incident's heat kept rising, fermenting.

All Sakura Country citizens who learned of this were furious.

They raged online, venting their discontent, denouncing West Eight Country as worthless.

Sakura Country and West Eight Country have long been at odds.

This incident became an even bigger fuse.

Netizens from both nations argued online with fierce intensity…

Some extremists even organized a protest at the entrance of a Sakura Country official department, demanding an explanation and insisting the arsonist be captured within a day.

…

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Bang bang bang... bang bang bang... bang bang bang...

Xu Mo was woken by a series of knocking sounds.

He rubbed his eyes, got up, and opened his room door.

Standing neatly dressed, Zhou Qiaoqiao, Yang Jingxuan, An Youyi, and Li Jiaxin were all at the doorway staring at Xu Mo.

Little stars twinkled in the four of their eyes.

Their gaze at Xu Mo was completely different from usual.

Xu Mo felt a chill under their stare, and his drowsiness vanished.

He stared at the four before him with a bewildered expression.

"Why aren't you sleeping in this early morning… what are you doing?"

The four remained silent, continuing to stare at Xu Mo with excitement.

Xu Mo: "???"

What's going on!?

Keeping a calm face, he tightened the hotel‑provided pajamas: "Don't mess around, I'm a respectable person!"

"Xu Mo! Stop pretending, we all know!"

"Exactly, it's already in the news, you're still pretending? Just admit it, Xu Mo."

"Well, you Xu Mo, you say no with your mouth, but your body is quite honest!"

"Why didn't you bring us along for such a fun thing!?"

Xu Mo became more and more confused as he listened.

What on earth is this?

It's insane!

What does it mean to knock loudly early in the morning and then say things he can't understand at all?

"Look at his innocent little eyes, the acting's good," Yang Jingxuan said with a smile, staring at Xu Mo: "Have you considered entering the entertainment industry? With acting like that, it'd be a waste not to."

"Don't even mention it, Xu Mo's acting is so natural, truly as if he knows nothing!"

At that moment.

Xu Mo was completely numb.

He even wondered if he had time‑traveled again!?

"What exactly are you talking about?"

"Ugh! Still pretending?" Zhou Qiaoqiao reached out and lightly tapped Xu Mo.

She then pulled out her phone, found the news about the Jin Country Divine Toilet being burned, and handed the phone to Xu Mo.

"You're the one who burned it, right? When did you go out last night, and you didn't even tell us."

He glanced at the news on the phone.

Xu Mo became even more bewildered.

He pointed at the news on Zhou Qiaoqiao's phone, then pointed at himself.

"You mean… you suspect this was done by me?"

"If it's not you, who else could it be? I have evidence!"

Saying that, she swiped the screen.

She retrieved an image at the bottom of the news article.

She handed the phone to Xu Mo again.

"Look, this is the evidence: on the ground at the burnt Jin Country Divine Toilet's main entrance there is a line in West Eight Language."

"So what? Does West Eight Language have anything to do with me?" Xu Mo said he couldn't understand.

What kind of evidence is this!?

Hearing this, Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled brightly at Xu Mo.

"Did you forget that yesterday you cursed people in West Eight Language and framed Little West Eight? You left a string of West Eight Country characters on the ground at the scene; that's clearly your style. You want them to turn on each other, right?"

"Also, the Jin Country Divine Toilet never caught fire before, yet it was set ablaze on the very first night we arrived. That's very intriguing!"

Yang Jingxuan also interjected at this moment.

"Moreover, if it were really a West Eight Country person who set the fire, they would never leave such a string of characters at the doorway. Isn't that leaving a clue? It's as if they're afraid Sakura Country can't catch the culprit, right?"

Xu Mo: "……"

You've got to admit, this analysis actually has some damn logic!

For a moment, he was actually powerless to refute.

Because last night, he indeed did something similar.

The phrase "framed Little West Eight" was also spoken by his own mouth.

After a two‑second pause, Xu Mo still shook his head resolutely.

"I really didn't do it, truly. I'm not that bored, nor do I have the spare time to burn a broken toilet."

"Alright, alright, you didn't burn it, I get it! I understand…," Zhou Qiaoqiao said with a "whatever you say is what it is" expression.

The expressions of Yang Jingxuan, An Youyi and Li Jiaxin were also vastly similar to hers.

Though they said they believed Xu Mo, in reality their faces had already completely betrayed them.

Xu Mo: "……"

A righteous person isn't afraid of a slanted shadow; let it be whatever it is!

Anyway, he didn't do it.

How could he be that bored? Staying up late, not sleeping, and going to burn a toilet!?

He isn't even sick!

At this moment, the Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room, upon learning that the Jin Country Divine Toilet had been set on fire, completely erupted.

"66666666, it still has to be Xu Mo, quietly doing big things."

"He did the thing I've wanted to do most in my life, Xu Mo is awesome!"

"Well, this wasn't Xu Mo's doing; I can testify, last night he was with my wife."

"Ah, right, right, this wasn't Xu Mo's doing, everyone stop spreading rumors! Don't cause trouble for Xu Mo, okay?"

"Admin, if you see anyone spreading rumors about Xu Mo again, please kick them out directly, thanks!"

"Brothers, protect our side's Xu Mo!"

"……"

Hangcheng.

Xiaoshan Airport waiting hall.

Han Fei stared at his phone with wide eyes, a look of disbelief.

Xu Mo had just arrived in Sakura Country yesterday.

Yet that very night, the Jin Country Divine Toilet was set ablaze.

He would die before believing this was a coincidence!

This damn Sheer Cliff was done by Xu Mo.

Moreover, the news even had an on‑site photo.

A string of West Eight Country characters was left in front of the Jin Country Divine Toilet's main gate…

Which idiot thief finished the crime and still left a clue!?

This damn thing is obviously a frame‑up!

Such petty sabotage is very Xu Mo‑like; at this point, Han Fei was even more convinced that the person who set the Jin Country Divine Toilet on fire was Xu Mo!

Han Fei had a headache.

Can't Xu Mo be a bit more low‑key?

Even if he delayed two days before burning again!?
