Chapter 29: Is Xu Mo About to Be Arrested?

A few minutes ago.

Around the trash cans on this side of Wanda Plaza.

Han Fei and the other officers were closely monitoring the activity near the trash cans.

Several people had already been probing continuously.

These people were obviously brought in by Xu Mo to confuse the situation.

This time, Han Fei and the others decisively arrested these people to interrogate them about Xu Mo's whereabouts.

But what was very strange was that these people kept firmly saying, "Impossible, I definitely won't say!"

"Hmph, don't think I'll give you any information."

"You think that in such a simple interrogation I would reveal the crucial information? Forget that thought!"

"We already said that we would never betray each other!"

"Ridiculous! I won't say anything!"

Lines like that.

Their expressions, though forcedly tough, looked very unnatural, bearing a distinct trace of performance.

But Shen Manni wasn't here now, and this bunch of guys were stubborn as dead ducks, repeating only a few lines back and forth.

It left everyone baffled.

Those present couldn't figure out any reason.

They were also puzzled about where Xu Mo had found so many seemingly abnormal guys.

Why were they delivering such cringe‑worthy, second‑grade schoolboy lines?

What kind of Mischief is this again?

And while they were interrogating this group of cringe offenders here,

A suit‑clad man of roughly the same height as Xu Mo lowered his head; the dim lighting made his features hard to see.

He suddenly appeared beside the trash can, looking as if he were about to throw something away.

He pulled a tissue from his pocket and casually tossed it into the trash bin.

Just as the plain‑clothes officers relaxed their guard,

the next moment, the suited man abruptly thrust his body inward.

At lightning speed, he pulled a black travel bag out of the trash can.

Then he bolted.

His speed was astonishingly fast.

His movements were seamless.

This left the exhausted officers, whose nerves had been constantly teased, unable to react at all.

By the time they recovered, the guy had already fled dozens of meters away.

"Stop!"

"Asshole! This one's for real!"

"Give chase! We can't let him get away!!"

Damn!

The officers were about to curse.

His actions were just too sudden.

And he swaggered right in front of them, bag in hand, and ran.

Did he really think these officers were all vegetarians?

These officers had been teased all afternoon.

And the captured people also performed like fools.

This brewed a surge of anger in their hearts.

They chased after him desperately.

The suited man seemed to be running with all the strength of his life, as if his life didn't matter.

He cut through the crowd and entered a narrow alley swarming with people.

It was a Snack Street.

The foot traffic was massive.

It was also extremely chaotic.

Running ahead, he knocked over many people's snacks.

Behind him, a group of officers gave chase.

Because the crowd was so dense, they couldn't catch up to him for a while.

The officers could only lag behind, eyes fixed on the suited man.

"Don't run!"

"We are officers! Help us catch that guy!"

"That guy is a Wanted Status criminal!"

It would have been fine not to say that, but once it was said.

People quickly kept their distance from the running guy.

Just kidding.

A Wanted Status criminal!

Still a Wanted Status criminal being chased.

If he's cornered like a desperate dog and takes me hostage, that'd put my life in danger.

What if the other person is hiding a controlled weapon?

Everyone prefers to avoid trouble—less is more.

This made the man in the suit run even more smoothly.

Although a few burly men wanted to act bravely, the guy in the suit was simply running too fast.

The officers almost couldn't catch their breath.

That mouth of his actually ended up helping that guy.

Watching that man run farther and farther away.

The officers were nearly frantic with anxiety.

But at that moment, Han Fei stopped.

He looked in the direction the suit‑clad man had run and let out a confident breath.

"Phew, it's fine—no need to chase. I've already made preparations."

"Don't underestimate us, Xu Mo."

He curled the corner of his mouth slightly, then pulled out his walkie‑talkie.

"Team C, the target is heading to the end of Snack Street."

"Close the net!"

The plainclothes officers nearby heard Han Fei's voice, then glanced toward the direction the suit‑clad man had run.

They too all came to a stop.

Then they looked at Han Fei with awe.

"Big Brother Han truly lives up to being the former Criminal Investigation Section Captain."

"This experience is indeed seasoned."

"So Team Leader Han already knew Xu Mo would run over there."

"That's vision—we're still too young, not as sharp‑eyed as Team Leader Han."

Chen Ke also relaxed, walked up to Han Fei, punched his shoulder, and laughed, "When did you set this up? I had no idea."

Han Fei said, "Just a casual setup I threw together."

"Earlier Xu Mo had us put the travel bag on that trash can over there; after checking the terrain, I felt the snack street was very close."

"Then I remembered that at this Wanda Plaza, the snack street gets crowded after six p. m."

"That's roughly how I figured out his plan."

"So I sent an extra team over there—I never expected we'd actually need them."

Chen Ke nodded in admiration, "No wonder it's you."

"It takes a seasoned Criminal Investigation Section Captain—far‑sighted, forward‑looking, even managing to fool us."

Han Fei waved his hand, calm, "Hey, that's all in the past; now I just have a bit of experience."

"Speaking of which, Xu Mo is really sharp and quick."

"That maneuver almost let him run off with the money."

Over in the live‑broadcast room, viewers were left in awe.

Many viewers were unusually excited.

"It's practically like watching a blockbuster!"

"Exactly, a cops‑and‑robbers blockbuster!"

"This is literally a fight of the gods!"

"Yeah, watching this afternoon's maneuvers left me dumbfounded."

"Xu Mo really has a couple of tricks up his sleeve."

"But in the end, Captain Han Fei still had the edge."

"Yeah, after all, evil doesn't prevail over good—and he's, after all, the captain of the professional Criminal Investigation Section."

"Captain Han Fei has caught how many people in this line of work? Definitely not simple."

"Too bad it ends here."

"Ah, it was exciting—if only there were more."

The viewers sighed, feeling a bit of regret.

They still hadn't seen enough.

But suddenly, a viewer who got news from the first live‑broadcast room came over and saw the discussion here.

The viewer from the first live‑broadcast room instantly looked bewildered.

"What? Xu Mo is going to be arrested??"

"What are you guys doing??"

"That's not Xu Mo—he's been in the first live‑broadcast room all day."

"Yeah, Xu Mo's been in the first live‑broadcast room—who are you arresting, then?"

"That guy just sat in a coffee shop all day, occasionally saying a word—we were bored to death watching him."

"Yang Jingxuan was bored out of her mind, almost falling asleep."

The viewers instantly exploded.

"What? Xu Mo never left the first live‑broadcast room?"

"Then what's the deal with this afternoon's god‑level maneuver??"

"Could it be we've seen a ghost??"
