Chapter 3: The Female Celebrity Tied Up in the Trunk

In the underground parking garage.

A slit was slowly being pulled open in the trunk of the black sedan.

Through the gap, a pair of attractive eyes stared out in terror, turning.

Under the dim light.

The whites of the eyes and the black pupils were strikingly stark.

At first glance, the scene was extremely horrifying.

It made one's heart nearly unable to bear it!

Xu Mo's heart jumped suddenly, and he almost shouted out.

Anyone who suddenly saw a pair of eyes through the trunk's slit would be startled!

The fact that Xu Mo didn't call out at this moment was already a good thing.

He took several breaths, then finally opened the trunk completely.

Immediately, his scalp tingled.

His mind was filled with shock!

In the trunk, a woman with fair skin and pretty eyebrows and eyes appeared before him, tied up in a tangled knot.

"Fuck..."

Xu Mo couldn't help letting out a swear; he never imagined there would be a woman in his car's trunk!

Moreover, the woman not only had her hands and legs bound, but even her mouth was sealed with black tape.

This was obviously not a good thing.

But he had no mind to think about it.

Instead, he subconsciously picked up his phone.

In the Live Broadcast Room, the nosy Water Friends, upon seeing Xu Mo open the trunk, froze in place, then cursed, and roughly understood what was happening.

"There really is someone in the trunk."

"Which female celebrity is it?"

"I'm close, but it's blocked; I can't see at all."

"This is driving me crazy!"

The Water Friends' view was blocked by Xu Mo's back, so they couldn't see inside the trunk at all, and they were a bit anxious.

But they saw Xu Mo pick up his phone.

"He's trying to call the police!"

A female host's voice came from the Live Broadcast Room.

"But our Program Crew had already made arrangements."

Yes.

Xu Mo wanted to call the police!

If it were a person with a normal mind, encountering this would immediately think of calling the police.

Xu Mo thought the same.

However, just as he pressed 110 on the phone's virtual keypad—

"Tap tap tap..."

Footsteps echoed in the parking garage.

The footsteps drew nearer, from far to close.

Xu Mo instantly halted his actions.

Someone's coming!

The situation now was obvious.

In his trunk, there was a beautifully bound woman.

If someone saw it.

He wouldn't be able to explain it at all.

He couldn't tell anyone that this pretty girl wasn't tied by him, but just appeared out of nowhere in his trunk, could he?

No one would believe him!

So...

"Clang!"

Xu Mo reached out and closed the trunk again.

He could report later.

If someone saw the woman in the trunk, that would be a real trouble.

Sweat broke out on Xu Mo's forehead.

After a short while.

The footsteps were now right by his ear.

A middle-aged man appeared in his line of sight, walked toward him, passed by his side, reached a Cadillac, started it, and drove away.

"Phew!"

Watching the Cadillac drive out of the underground garage, Xu Mo finally let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, the Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room spoke up.

"Hahaha, I'm sure this kid almost peed himself from fright."

"If it were you, you'd probably be as shocked."

"But don't say it, this guy's reaction speed is still quite fast."

"So what? With such a luxurious lineup this episode, this guy definitely can't last an hour."

"The Investigation Team over there is probably about to move."

"Just missing the news broadcast!"

Amid the Water Friends' Danmaku, Xu Mo picked up his phone a second time, ready to call the police.

However…

When Xu Mo lifted his phone and unlocked the screen, about to call the police.

"Ding!"

A pop‑up news alert sprang up on the phone screen.

"Yangcheng Emergency News Bulletin: This evening, the Police Headquarters received an emergency call. Famous actress Yang Jingxuan was kidnapped today. According to witness clues, the kidnappers were driving a black Volkswagen, license plate Guangdong AXXXX. Anyone with information, please call the emergency hotline…"

"Below is the vehicle owner's information."

"This…"

Seeing the photo that popped up in the news, Xu Mo was startled, his eyebrows leapt, feeling extreme disbelief.

Because the photo in the news was him!

"Am I really a Wanted Status suspect?"

Xu Mo instantly couldn't accept it at all!

He himself clearly hadn't done anything.

Just like that becoming a Wanted Status suspect?

What the hell kind of thing is this!

This is a mess left by his former self.

Rain girl, nothing to do with it.

Xu Mo inexplicably felt a sense of unreality.

With his handsome face, no matter how you look, it has nothing to do with the kidnappers, right?

Is actress Yang Jingxuan famous in this world?

Comparable to Da Mi?

And the top‑tier female stars from his past life.

But compared to the actress matter, Xu Mo now cares more about being a Wanted Status suspect.

Now that's trouble.

What should he do?

Should he still call the police?

Would calling the police be walking into a trap?

The current Xu Mo is completely bewildered!

He wants to know the whole story.

He is just an ordinary person.

You can hide for a moment, but not for a lifetime.

Or ask Yang Jingxuan.

Right!

Sort the whole matter out, make it clear.

Leniency for Confession, Severity for Resistance.

If I did it myself, I'll just own up; at worst I go in and be a talent for a few years.

That's still far better than being caught and spending a decade or several decades as a talent.

After all, he didn't hurt anyone!

But this underground parking lot is clearly not a good place for questioning.

Xu Mo was truly irritated.

Being inexplicably made a Wanted Status suspect like this, he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life on the run.

He once wanted an exciting life.

But this matter is way too thrilling for him.

Exciting to the point of being unbearable.

Xu Mo stopped hesitating in the underground parking lot and got into the black Volkswagen, preparing to find a place to question Yang Jingxuan in the trunk.

He wasn't stupid enough to release Yang Jingxuan right now.

He started the car.

As the Volkswagen engine roared to life, a cold, mechanical voice sounded in his ear…

"Event Trigger!"

"Cat and Mouse Game begins!"
