Chapter 269: Conan Physique, Truly Lives Up to Its Name

Banks won't accept Gold Bars with dubious origins.

Major gold shops also dare not take them.

Those informal small workshops do dare to take this stuff, but the problem is that Xu Mo has so many Gold Bars that even if the workshops dare to accept them, they can't possibly handle that amount.

Xu Mo wants to offload all the Gold Bars, so he'll have to find many small workshops.

Moreover, the buyers will haggle the price, which will cost him a lot of money.

Therefore, if he wants to sell these Gold Bars, dealing with a bank is still the best option.

But… Xu Mo doesn't have the certificate; he was busy snatching Gold Bars at the time and forgot about the certificate.

"The Police's card stamp won't help, and the bank might not recognize it. You should go to the Program Crew; they'll definitely handle it for you," Han Fei suggested.

"Indeed…" Xu Mo nodded after hearing that, "I almost forgot about this part."

He then turned his gaze toward the lobby manager.

"Wait until I get the certificate, then I'll come back to sell to you, ha!"

Inside the police car.

After being handcuffed for a while, the robber's bout of madness subsided and he returned to normal.

He was surprised to find his hands bound behind his back.

He was still sitting in the back seat of the police car.

Outside the police car, two police officers stood.

The robber was bewildered.

He clearly remembered that he should have been robbing a bank, so why was he suddenly captured?

Strangely, he couldn't recall at all how he was caught!

From outside, the two officers' discussion drifted through the loosely closed car window.

"What a strange case. How did this robber just go crazy out of the blue? He was laughing at the air about having gold, and no one knows what got him mixed up,"

"I think this has to do with Xu Mo. The robber only went mad after Xu Mo entered. Do you remember Xu Mo saying before he went in that he could make the robber lower his weapon and turn himself in voluntarily?"

"Now that you mention it… it does seem true!"

"…"

Listening to the two officers' discussion outside the window.

Another memory suddenly surged into the robber's mind.

In that memory, he discovered a mountain of gold, and while he was merrily picking up gold, he was suddenly seized!

Both robbing a bank and finding a gold mountain—this memory is completely incoherent!

And both events are utterly nonsensical.

So… am I dreaming?

The robber thought to himself.

Besides dreaming, there is no other explanation.

If it weren't a dream, how could two completely unrelated, absurd events appear?

"Yes… it must be a dream," the robber murmured, then closed his eyes and simply lay down on the police car seat to sleep.

Because this robber was caught on the spot, the evidence is conclusive.

The circumstances are extremely severe, so the procedures moved quickly.

Thus, when he woke up, he was already at the Police Station.

He refused to believe it, slept again, and upon waking this time, found himself in the Detention Center.

The third time he woke up, he was transferred to the Censorate.

The fourth time he woke, he was taken straight to prison, forced to get a crew cut, and dressed in deep‑blue uniforms with white stripes and numbers.

Robber: "???"

This damn thing doesn't seem like a dream!

"You successfully captured the Escapee and earned a reward—Conan Physique!"

Xu Mo: "???"

When he heard that notification, he felt completely unsettled.

This reward…

Does it mean he'll directly transform into a Grim Reaper Elementary Student?

However, the imagined scenario of the police hotline being flooded never occurred.

Even until the end of the shift, no reports came in.

Xu Mo thought to himself that this "Conan Physique" doesn't seem that impressive.

All day long, not a single report was received.

It's far from that "Grim Reaper Elementary Student" who leaves corpses wherever he goes.

It's nothing!

When the shift ended, Xu Mo left the Police Station.

He went to the Ting Che Chang where his vehicle was parked, took out the keys, opened the door, and got into the back seat.

Xu Mo pulled out his phone.

He called Song Yixue.

He wanted the Chief Director of the Program Crew to help him sort out the Gold Bar issue.

After a brief conversation on the phone.

The two agreed to meet at a coffee shop.

He ended the call, Xu Mo put down his phone and drove straight to that coffee shop.

……

Coffee shop.

Just as Xu Mo entered the coffee shop, Song Yixue waved at him.

"Xu Mo, over here."

She is the Program Director, so she could recognize Xu Mo at a glance.

Xu Mo, having spoken with Song Yixue before, could easily distinguish her sexy voice and recognize it instantly.

He looked toward the source of the voice.

Xu Mo saw clearly the appearance of the Program Director.

Her features were extremely delicate and three‑dimensional, the corners of her mouth curled in a smile, and her watery large eyes were appraising Xu Mo.

She wore formal attire, the hem of her blouse tucked into a matching skirt, outlining a slender waist and an exaggerated bust—a truly striking mature lady.

"I didn't know what you like to drink, so I didn't order for you in advance; just order whatever you want yourself," Song Yixue said first.

"No need, we can't even exchange a few words," Xu Mo replied bluntly. "You have to help me deal with those Gold Bars; we already agreed on that back then."

Song Yixue lifted the coffee in front of her and took a sip.

"Of course, the certificates for those Gold Bars are kept at the office. I originally wanted you to pick them up, but I've been busy lately and forgot. I'll take you to get them in a moment."

"By the way, why did you suddenly quit the program?" Song Yixue changed the subject and asked abruptly.

The reason she invited Xu Mo to the coffee shop instead of sending him directly to her office for the certificates was simply curiosity about the matter.

In fact, Xu Mo quit because the system was upgraded, and staying in the program crew offered no reward.

Not using a system—doesn't that mean something's wrong?

But Xu Mo would never mention anything about the system.

"Life on the run isn't easy; every morning you have to think about where to hide today,"

Song Yixue nodded as if she somewhat understood.

"True, it's a shame to give up such a popular show. Won't you have a cup of coffee? The coffee here isn't bad,"

Xu Mo shook his head and remained silent.

Seeing that Xu Mo had no desire to converse, Song Yixue didn't force the issue.

"Let's go; I'll take you to get the certificates. Our office is right next door,"

……

The two had just stepped out of the coffee shop.

They immediately saw thick black smoke billowing from a nearby building ahead.

At that moment, Xu Mo's phone rang.

He took it out and saw that Han Fei was calling.

He guessed the call was related to the fire; it might even be arson!

A twitch flickered at the corner of Xu Mo's eye.

He realized he had spoken too soon.

The Conan-type constitution… truly lives up to its reputation!
