Chapter 22: Whoa! This Xu Mo is a ruthless guy!

The phone rang.

Everyone in the conference room wore an expression that was downright spectacular!

At that moment, Han Fei walked over with a scowl.

He answered the phone.

Obviously, at this point,

it was no longer a question of whether to continue the program.

The extortion sum was ten million yuan.

The star's compromising photos.

No matter which aspect of it,

the impact on society would be extremely harmful!

"Xu Mo, release Yang Jingxuan immediately! As for the ten million yuan, consider it as if you never mentioned it; the Program Crew will prepare a compensation of 200,000 yuan to pay you! Remember, don't entertain any lucky‑break fantasies—if you dare commit an illegal act tomorrow, you won't get away with it!"

Han Fei tried to suppress the raging anger in his heart and said.

When he finished speaking, there was not a hint of movement on the other side.

Just as everyone thought Xu Mo was up to some new trick,

his calm voice rang out.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

Just a few simple words.

The damage is minimal.

But the insult is extreme!

Here, besides Han Fei,

there are other investigation experts present.

Bare‑faced provocation!

They are full of grievances.

Yet no one dared to utter a word.

But the Live Broadcast Room was different.

The Danmaku had already exploded.

"Big Brother is awesome! A role model for us!"

"This Xu Mo really isn't afraid of death! He even dares to call back and provoke—who gave him that courage? Liang Miss?"

"Big Brother, surrender; outside it's all Shen Manni!"

"Hahaha... laughing to death at you, kidnapper, daring to extort the police; you probably don't even know how to write the character 'death'."

"Is this Xu Mo definitely not here to be a jumping‑board Clown?"

"666, Big Brother, invincible plus!"

Han Fei's head went black.

He took a deep breath and asked,

"What do you want?"

The initiative lay with Xu Mo.

He had to concede.

Xu Mo smiled, "I know you're all listening to the call; listen if you must."

"But I don't like chatting with you."

"Give the phone to that girl who answered earlier!"

Han Fei's eyelid twitched.

Fearing Xu Mo might have another extreme reaction.

He had no choice!

The phone was handed over to Lin An'an.

"It's me, Lin An'an."

"Hmm, not bad, my ears feel much better now."

Lin An'an's face flushed slightly.

She never imagined that, as a program host, she would one day be teased by a Challenger.

Before she could say more,

Xu Mo's voice rang again.

"Ten million yuan! Do exactly as I said before!"

Lin An'an's face was full of bitterness; this wasn't something a tiny host like her could decide!

"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I can't make the decision on this matter."

"Heh… can't decide?"

"Yes… yes!"

Now that things have come to this,

Lin An'an could only steel herself and reply,

"Ten million is simply too much."

Moreover, they all harbored a lucky‑break mindset, believing Xu Mo wouldn't suffer any consequences!

Meanwhile.

Tear----------

A sound of a garment being ripped apart rang out.

Accompanied by Yang Jingxuan's terrified scream.

"Ah!!!!!!!"

"Xu Mo, you... you're not human, you perverted little trash, you have no power! You can't play this game!"

"It's... it's all arranged by the Program Crew, wuwu... if you have the ability, go mess with them!"

"Shut up!! If you dare say another word, I'll block your mouth with something!"

Xu Mo was truly angry.

Good fellow!

You've been possessed by the Best Actress, right?

You've become addicted to filming.

Xu Mo admitted that Yang Jingxuan's improvised lines and tone were absolutely fine!

But damn, talking too much always gets 'wet'!

Speaking less doesn't easily arouse suspicion.

"My patience has its limits!"

Xu Mo's irritated and angry voice rang out.

Doo doo doo....

Immediately, without waiting for Lin An'an to speak,

he hung up the phone.

"Brother... brother, aren't you angry anymore?"

Seeing Xu Mo with a darkened face.

Yang Jingxuan said in a coquettish tone.

"The extortion plan might be about to cool off."

Xu Mo raised an eyebrow and said.

Yang Jingxuan's face changed dramatically, "Huh? Xu Mo, didn't you say you were confident?"

"I don't want to keep fleeing with you every day; when we're hungry, we can just go to the trash can Chunjian Lakitzde."

"What a mess?" Xu Mo looked surprised.

Yang Jingxuan pursed her chubby little mouth, pinching her fingers, "Just a gag."

"Hehe... who do you think is at fault for this?"

"Damn, it's time to settle the accounts."

Xu Mo looked at her with a half‑smile.

Yang Jingxuan jumped in fright, hurriedly stepped back, creating distance from Xu Mo.

"I think my acting has no problem."

"I think you really don't get it!"

Xu Mo shook his head.

Yang Jingxuan, displeased, lifted her head and chest, like a proud white swan.

"You don't understand at all."

"How can I say I was also nominated for the Golden Horse Best Actress last year!"

"Were you shortlisted?"

Xu Mo wasn't too concerned about that.

Facing Xu Mo's questioning,

Yang Jingxuan's gaze drifted, her face flushed, and she stammered.

"No... no..."

"Serves you right!"

Xu Mo said gleefully.

Yang Jingxuan felt extremely aggrieved.

Sure enough, a woman's greatest enemy is a dog!

She wants to go all out against Xu Mo!

"Hehe... dare you make a move and try?"

"I'll block your mouth!"

"Before, because you added too many scenes, it was exposed."

Yang Jingxuan shrank back, saying tearfully without tears.

"Then... what do we do now?"

Xu Mo shrugged, "What else can we do, just wait."

Meanwhile, elsewhere,

The Water Friends watching the live stream erupted in chaos.

"WTF! This Xu Mo is ruthless! Damn, he actually dared to rip Yang Jingxuan's clothes!"

"Not treating us as outsiders, that's great."

"I'm guilty, I want to give Big Brother a pair of scissors."

"Pilot applies to join the cockpit!"

"You're still riding horses and have the mood to talk about this? Do you understand the situation has blown up?"

"This Xu Mo is doomed!"

"Pause the program! Issue the Wanted Status quickly; that guy has already become a real criminal!"

They don't have Xu Mo's perspective.

The overwhelming majority think Yang Jingxuan met a tragic end.

Let the Investigation Team and the police launch action quickly.

Bring Xu Mo to justice!

In the conference room.

Hear Yang Jingxuan's helpless pleas!

Everyone became angry.

Is this tearing Yang Jingxuan's clothes?

This is clearly slapping their faces!

In front of these Investigation Team experts, they knowingly break the law, arrogant and overbearing.

"Bastard! Once I catch you, you're dead!"

Chen Ke let out a curse.

His hands clenched tightly, producing a crackling sound of bones.

Han Fei and the others wore exasperated looks.

Looks like this program can't continue broadcasting.

One more second of delay.

Yang Jingxuan faces an additional danger over there.

Xu Mo never gives them any chance to stall with scripted talk.

"Prepare to send a message to headquarters, change Xu Mo's arrest order to a real one!"

Han Fei inhaled deeply and said.

Shen Manni furrowed her brows slightly, thoughtful, but she did not voice any objection.

On the other side.

Song Yixue's eyebrows curved like willow leaves, arms crossed.

Staring at the big screen's live feed, she was dazed.

There's no tension like the Program Crew's conference room here.

Only relative quiet!

Thus, Song Yixue can calmly think and analyze the problem.

The more she ponders seriously, the more she feels there must be some easily overlooked information inside!

These pieces of information are only missing one thread that can link them together!

"Boss, the police department is demanding that we suspend the program's live broadcast immediately."

A female secretary in a black OL outfit hurried over and said.

Song Yixue, looking trance‑like, murmured with her seductive lips, "There must be a thread that can link them…"

The secretary thought Song Yixue hadn't heard, so repeated it.

"Boss, the program's live broadcast is about to be paused!"

"Live… live…" Suddenly, Song Yixue seemed to grasp the crux of the matter!

"Yes, it's the live broadcast!"

"Broadcast the last phone call Xu Mo made just now, and replay it for me!"
