Chapter 221: Just Call Me Little Gou

Live Broadcast Room.

"These two unlucky bastards, hahaha, they haven't even earned a penny, and already each of them has put in 3,500."

"Two big fools, isn't this a human ATM?"

"What do you know? This is called betting small to win big, a gamble that turns a bicycle into a motorcycle. If they don't spend this 3,500, they'll be caught right away and the 200,000 reward will go down the drain."

"Bet what? In past episodes, aside from Xu Mo, no one could last a whole day. They're definitely going to be caught, and that 3,500 is wasted in my view."

School Monitoring Room.

Han Fei didn't place all his hope on the students.

Instead, he waited for news while watching the campus surveillance feeds in the Monitoring Room, tackling it from both sides.

He occasionally glanced at the time on his phone.

Almost an hour had already passed.

He couldn't help feeling a bit puzzled.

"In an hour, not a single student in the school ran into those two Escapees?"

That's unreasonable.

You have to know that the school has tens of thousands of students.

There are definitely many who would be tempted by a 1,000‑yuan prize.

Even if you underestimate, at least ten thousand people.

Moreover, today is the weekend, the students' most idle time.

With tens of thousands of students wandering the campus, logically they should be able to find the two Escapees quickly.

Having no clue at all is very unreasonable!

Han Fei even began to suspect whether this time Xu Mo the kid had snatched it again?

He couldn't sit still.

"Xiao Liu, keep watching the surveillance here; the rest follow me, let's go out and look around too."

Having said that, Han Fei led the officers out of the Monitoring Room.

After stepping out, they split up and started trying their luck around the campus.

Having been discovered the previous two times.

The two Escapees became increasingly cautious.

They always walked around people, even daring not to lift their heads while walking.

Ten minutes later, upon seeing the scene before them, the two felt relieved; not far ahead was the school's South Gate, and stepping out would be much safer.

At least there weren't many students looking to capture them for the reward.

Thinking this, they quickened their pace, briskly heading toward the school gate.

"Later we'll find a place with no one and hide for the night; this time we can't listen to anything you say. Coming to the school was a mistake!"

"How can you blame me? I didn't expect the Investigation Team to use this trick. At the time I thought the place was crowded and the Investigation Team would have trouble finding us, plus you didn't oppose at the start!"

"How is this not your fault? If you hadn't said you'd come to the school, these messes wouldn't have happened."

"No, are you even being reasonable?"

As soon as they stepped out of the school gate, the two began arguing.

At that moment, one of their phones rang.

He took out the phone, glanced, and saw an unknown number.

Assuming it was a spam call, he hung up without a second thought.

Almost as soon as he hung up, before he could pocket the phone, it rang again.

It was the same unknown number.

"Who is it?" he muttered softly, then answered, "Hello..."

"Are you Mr. Gou Hao?" a man's voice came from the other end.

That familiar opening line.

Usually it's someone selling houses or cars, or pushing insurance.

"Sorry, I'm not buying anything," Gou Hao said, preparing to hang up and block the number.

However, the next second, a sentence from the other end completely made him abandon the idea of hanging up.

"I'm not selling anything; I'm Xu Mo, also a Challenger on the Sky Eye Operation program. Interested in cooperating?"

The caller turned out to be Xu Mo.

That Xu Mo, still on the run and never captured!

Gou Hao got excited.

He had watched Xu Mo's livestreams for a long time and knew his capabilities well.

On the phone, Xu Mo said he wanted to cooperate with him.

That means he can hitch a ride on Xu Mo's big ship!

It also means the Investigation Team can't catch them.

What thrilled him was the program's rule—hide for one day and earn a 200,000 reward.

Two days, 400,000; three days, 600,000; four days, 800,000... doing the math, he could earn six million a month!

That's a fortune many people could never attain in a lifetime!

If it's just him and his other partner, hiding for a day might barely be enough.

But following Xu Mo, it's not like you can just casually hide, right?

As a result, he has already started planning how to spend the reward once he gets it.

First buy an apartment, then buy a car, then marry a beautiful female college student, and live shamelessly for the rest of his life.

"Hehehe..." Thinking of this, Gou Hao burst out laughing from the heart.

An uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

Seeing his silly laugh, the companion beside him quickly tugged at him and urged.

"What the hell are you giggling like an idiot for? Possessed? Come on, let's get out of this damned place!"

Gou Hao, who was daydreaming about a bright future, was pulled back to reality by his companion.

He rolled his eyes, looking displeased.

He pointed at his phone.

"Don't make a fuss—it's Xu Mo calling, Xu Mo! We two have run into a benefactor!"

"Xu Mo? The Xu Mo from the Sky Eye Operation?? Holy shit!!"

"How about it, Mr. Gou—have you decided? Are you interested in working with me?" Xu Mo asked from the other end of the line.

"Yes yes yes, totally!" Gou Hao bobbed his head: "Don't keep calling me "Mr."—that's too formal; just call me Xiao Gou."

Xu Mo: ……

I've never seen such a request before!

But since the other party wants him to call that way, he might as well obey.

"Xiao Gou, are you guys at Jiangcheng University right now?"

Xu Mo immediately named their hiding place.

Gou Hao's admiration for Xu Mo grew even stronger.

"Look, look!"

"Even knowing where we are—awesome!"

"Yes yes yes, we just came out of the school's South Gate, still at the entrance—where are you? Let's meet up."

"South Gate." Xu Mo thought for a moment and then said: "Go left from the school gate, keep going straight; after a few hundred meters there's a tavern—I'll be waiting in the alley next to the tavern."

"Okay, we're heading over now—please wait a moment!"

After hanging up.

Gou Hao, excited, tugged at his companion.

"Xu Mo told us to keep going straight down the left road—he's waiting in the alley next to a tavern up ahead! We're saved, we're saved hahaha!"

At this moment he suddenly felt that the 3,500 he'd just spent at school was worth it.

He even felt glad that he hadn't hesitated to spend money to get out of danger.

Otherwise, they'd surely have been caught by now and thus missed the chance to hitch a ride on Xu Mo's big boat.
