Chapter 253: Thanks to nature's gift!
Sir, the plane is about to take off; please sit back down properly and don't move around randomly, okay?
I'll just go to the restroom, I'll be back soon," the man replied.
The flight attendant continued to dissuade him.
Would you mind waiting a moment before going? We have a rule that passengers cannot leave their seats during takeoff, and this is for your safety.
Upon hearing this, the sunglasses-wearing man didn't insist on going to the restroom, but reluctantly nodded: "Alright."
He then sat back down and fastened his seatbelt as required.
Xu Mo has an excellent memory.
As a result, even after just a quick glance at all the bounty notices posted on the official website, he had already memorized the appearances of all the wanted criminals.
And that brief glance just now also let Xu Mo clearly see the appearance of the man wearing sunglasses.
It's worth mentioning that this man's mouth, nose, face shape, and even the position and size of the mole on his chin are exactly the same as those of a five‑year fugitive he saw on the wanted poster just now.
This guy is very likely the five‑year escapee listed on the bulletin!
However, it's only a possibility; Xu Mo cannot yet confirm whether it really is him.
Because the man is wearing sunglasses, Xu Mo hasn't been able to see his eyes.
Even though all other facial features match exactly, Xu Mo refrains from jumping to a conclusion.
To confirm whether this man is an escapee, one must first take off his sunglasses and get a full view of his face.
Only by seeing the eyes hidden behind the sunglasses can Xu Mo know whether this man is indeed the five‑year fugitive on the wanted list.
At this moment, under the flight attendant's persuasion, the man has already returned to his seat.
He expects that once the plane enters steady flight later, the man will get up again.
……
As expected.
The plane has just entered steady flight.
The man then unfastened his seatbelt and stood up.
He headed straight for the restroom.
Xu Mo's seat happens to be right between the man and the restroom.
To get to the restroom, the man must inevitably pass by the aisle next to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo slowly unfastened his seatbelt.
When the man passed by his side,
he deliberately sprang up suddenly and collided with the man.
The man's sunglasses were knocked off.
Xu Mo also got to see the man's full face as he wished.
At this point, he can be 100% certain that this guy is the five‑year fugitive!
Xu Mo felt a secret thrill; it really is an escapee.
He thought, what luck—who else could have this!
Just taking a flight, you can run into a five‑year fugitive.
This is heaven's blessing!
The man, whom Xu Mo had bumped into unexpectedly, glared at Xu Mo with great dissatisfaction.
"Are you blind or what? In a hurry to get reborn?"
After cursing, he bent down to pick up the sunglasses from the floor and put them back on.
Although he was scolded, Xu Mo didn't get angry.
He just smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't notice you coming over."
The man ignored Xu Mo's apology and instead spat out more vulgarities: "Didn't notice? Are you blind? Idiot!"
Only then did he continue walking toward the restroom.
After being scolded twice in a row, Xu Mo still had no intention of getting angry.
Not getting angry even after being scolded twice is because… Xu Mo couldn't be bothered to argue with a dying man.
The wanted list enumerates all the crimes committed by the fugitive Xu Mo encountered.
Robbery, intentional homicide, and even violently apprehending, then ruthlessly killing a police officer before fleeing.
These charges are already enough for him to eat a peanut.
This person won't live much longer—what's the point of arguing with him?
At this moment, Xu Mo not only isn't angry,
but even has a faint smile on his face.
Thanks to nature's gift!
Xu Mo's behavior of not daring to talk back after being scolded made the people around him look down on him a little.
Everyone's gaze toward Xu Mo basically carried a hint of contempt and disdain.
They all agreed Xu Mo is a coward, a wimp!
"A grown man, being scolded and not daring to talk back—truly cowardly!"
"... What's the point of living? I feel sorry for him!"
"If I ran into this, I wouldn't consider it clean unless I beat the shit out of the guy who cursed me!"
"……"
Not only the surrounding passengers.
The four people sitting next to Xu Mo also noticed his abnormal behavior.
They looked at Xu Mo with puzzled expressions.
Everyone felt that Xu Mo's behavior was somewhat abnormal.
Is Xu Mo the type of person who never retorts even when scolded?
Obviously not.
Unless… Xu Mo has some scheme.
He doesn't retort, probably because he's holding back some big move!
Zhou Qiaoqiao leaned over to Xu Mo's side.
"He scolds you like that and you can still hold back from hitting him? Are you keeping some big move waiting to take his life?"
At that, Zhou Qiaoqiao suddenly inhaled a cold breath, as if she had thought of something, and lowered her voice: "He can't be a wanted criminal, can he? Are you going to arrest him and send him to the police station?"
Xu Mo gave no answer, but made a "shh" gesture.
Seeing Xu Mo's action, Zhou Qiaoqiao realized she was probably right.
So that man wearing sunglasses really is a wanted criminal?
No wonder Xu Mo doesn't argue with him!
He must be waiting to catch someone!
Compared to making someone endure the disaster of prison or even being shot as revenge, retorting and such are indeed too trivial, completely painless and harmless.
Zhou Qiaoqiao cooperated fully and shut her mouth, no longer bringing up the wanted‑criminal matter.
But after a few seconds.
She again leaned her little head next to Xu Mo and whispered.
"That's not right… Did you misread? Can a wanted criminal board a plane? He can't even buy a ticket, now tickets require real‑name registration!"
Xu Mo nodded, his tone very certain: "There's no mistake; I looked carefully, he is indeed a wanted criminal."
"As for flying…," Xu Mo shrugged: "Who says you must buy a ticket to fly? When I was wanted by the Investigation Team, didn't I also get on a plane? I'm a Pilot, after all; maybe he used some method to slip in."
At that moment, the man returned after using the Restroom.
When passing Xu Mo's seat, he let out a cold snort.
Xu Mo still wore that indifferent expression, completely ignoring the man.
He leaned back against the seat back and closed his eyes.
…
No words the whole way.
When the plane landed on the runway at Yangcheng Airport, Xu Mo opened his eyes and got up.
He went to the side of the man wearing sunglasses.
"What's the matter, looking for trouble?" the man sneered at Xu Mo: "Fuck off! Otherwise I'll break your leg!"
Realizing a conflict might erupt among passengers, the Flight Attendant hurried forward to intervene.
"Gentlemen…"
However, before the Flight Attendant could finish speaking, Xu Mo pulled the Police Badge he had stolen earlier but never returned from his pocket and flashed it to her: "Police are handling the case; you don't need to worry, just cooperate."
He had forgotten to return that Police Badge at the time.
But now it seems that not returning it was certainly the right choice; it's come in handy again.
He glanced at the Police Badge in Xu Mo's hand.
The man instantly panicked.
Damn… I was careless, didn't dodge!
This guy is actually a cop!
