Chapter 205: Is Xu Mo Not Up to It?

"You go home."

Hearing Xu Mo's words, Waiwei's hopeful expression vanished completely in an instant.

He was struck like by lightning, freezing on the spot.

At that moment, she even began to wonder if there was something wrong with her ears.

Originally she thought that after she lost, Xu Mo would utter some rather perverse little punishments…

But she never imagined the punishment would be this!

The offhand remark Xu Mo made completely wounded Waiwei's tender soul.

She had prepared everything, and now Xu Mo refuses to play?

And he tells her to go home?

That's such an insult!

At this moment, Waiwei felt utmost shame.

Even her eyes reddened slightly, and she turned and left.

So embarrassing!

Meanwhile, in the Live Broadcast Room.

???

What the hell kind of person is this, the money's already spent, and he just lets them walk away like that?

I literally ripped out my bitter tea seeds, and this is what I get? Just this?

Is Xu Mo not up to it?

If he's really not able, let me step in! I damn can! Isn't this just a waste?

…

However, Xu Mo didn't care what the Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room were thinking.

He was doing this merely to find a place to sleep for a night.

Now that he's in the country, he can't recklessly use his own ID to book a room.

He can only ask someone else for help.

Waiwei is a pretty good option.

Because the business they run can't be seen, especially not by police.

In terms of privacy and safety alone, it does offer some guarantees.

…

That night, the Investigation Team received a message from the Program Crew.

The program added twenty more Challengers, paired two per team, totaling ten teams, and all the Challengers are currently in Jiangcheng.

The ten new teams, plus Xu Mo's team, make eleven teams.

That means the Investigation Team now has to capture not only Xu Mo, but also ten other groups of Escapees.

At first glance, this adds difficulty for the Investigation Team.

But in reality, how does this increase difficulty for the Investigation Team?

These ten groups are clearly whetstones sent by the Program Crew.

They're meant to help the Investigation Team regain confidence, to give them a feel for the hunt!

After chasing Xu Mo for so long.

Not only the Water Friends, but even the four members of the Investigation Team began to waver; they started to wonder… maybe their methods and abilities really have problems?

However now, the chance to test whether they have the ability and to prove themselves has arrived.

Upon receiving the news, Han Fei immediately made a decision.

"Let's put Xu Mo's case on hold for now, and first return to the country to capture those other ten groups."

"Is that… okay? Just ignore Xu Mo?" Li Chen looked at the Anman Hotel before him and hesitated for a moment.

"It's not that we're ignoring him; our current condition is off. We need a few successful captures to regain our footing. Once we've regained it, coming back for Xu Mo won't be too late, and the efficiency might even be higher," Han Fei explained.

The remaining three, upon hearing, all thought Han Fei's words made sense.

Their current condition really is off.

They must quickly adjust their condition.

Once the condition is adjusted, returning to capture Xu Mo won't be too late.

And perhaps, as Han Fei said, it really will be just like that.

By then, capturing Xu Mo will be even smoother!

Thus, the Investigation Team booked the earliest flight, preparing to rush back to Jiangcheng at top speed to apprehend the ten newly added teams.

…

Early the next morning.

The Investigation Team arrived in Jiangcheng.

A new round of the Cat and Mouse Game, with slightly modified rules, began.

The twenty Challengers who signed up, were screened by the Program Crew and paired into teams, have now become the new "Criminals."

Jiangcheng Police and the Investigation Team have both learned the identity information of these Fake Fugitive, and are drafting plans to capture them.

These "Criminals" have the same mission as Xu Mo: to evade capture.

These ten teams are hidden in different locations.

But unlike Xu Mo when he first joined the program,

they know their identities from the start, and also know the game rules.

And they can also learn from the experience of Xu Mo, this successful individual.

Everyone has two eyes and a nose; everyone is a person.

Xu Mo can run that long without being caught; on what grounds can they not!?

Xu Mo can successfully rob a bank; on what grounds can they not!?

Xu Mo can successfully extort the Investigation Team; on what grounds can they not!?

Xu Mo can……

Thinking of what Xu Mo once did.

Many people have already begun to stir.

Thus, one of the clueless teams has already prepared to start imitating Xu Mo.

"Brother, instead of passively fleeing, why not take the initiative? As I say, let's both go rob a bank—one gold bar is 380 000, just rob a little and we'll be millionaires… damn it, go big and strong!"

"Good idea, let's do it!"

A similar scene also played out in another team.

"Bro, want to pull off a big job?"

"I'm thinking the same; what should we do?"

"Robbing banks and stealing museums can be ruled out first; we don't have Xu Mo's Hacker Technique, so how about extorting the Program Crew? That seems to require little technical skill!"

"Sounds good! Then we'll extort the Program Crew, let's discuss the specifics…"

Even some bold ones have already started thinking of imitating Xu Mo's method of applying to become a Pilot at an Airline Company, preparing to flee Jiangcheng as fast as possible…

After a round of discussion.

All three teams drafted what they considered a perfect plan.

And they were ready to act.

However… the deeds Xu Mo performed are not something ordinary people can casually imitate.

Bank.

Two robbers wearing stockings on their heads, brandishing kitchen knives, suddenly charged in.

"Don't move, bank robbery!"

"Everyone, crouch with your heads down!"

In fact, even without shouting, the people coming to the bank to withdraw money could guess their occupation.

After all, they held kitchen knives and their stocking‑capped outfits were too conspicuous.

It's obvious they're here to rob a bank.

Moreover, no one intended to step forward and play hero.

After all, these two robbers have kitchen knives; nobody wants to get cut while trying to be heroic.

That's not worth it.

As for the robbers wanting to rob the bank… then go ahead!

Anyway, it's the bank's money they're taking, what does it have to do with them?

Almost everyone chose at that moment to cooperate, honestly crouching with heads down.

Seeing the crowd frozen in fear, the two robbers immediately realized— the bank robbery was already half done.

Even the two thought of putting down their knives and raising their waists— we're really awesome!

They walked to the counter holding their knives.

Through the bullet‑proof glass they waved the knives twice: "Rob the bank, take out all the gold bars, or I'll kill you!"

The teller was stunned.

"A robber with a kitchen knife?"

"And threatening to kill her through bullet‑proof glass?"

"Are you kidding? Even a dulled kitchen knife can't break bullet‑proof glass!"

"It'll just end up not working…"
