Chapter 32: Yang Jingxuan's Sale Money

"When we first chased into the Snack Street, the garbage truck should have arrived; he must have calculated that."

"He timed it perfectly, just waiting along the garbage truck's route."

"Then, as the garbage truck just turned the corner and vanished from our sight, he took the bag."

"At that moment, the extra actor thought this was his only chance to stand out and was running desperately to prove his acting."

"And then."

"We thought we had caught Xu Mo and lowered all vigilance; that delay cost us."

"From start to finish we had already wasted too much time."

"Xu Mo had already taken off."

"By the time we caught up here, Xu Mo had already run an unknown distance."

"We lost this round."

The plainclothes officers were extremely dejected.

Chen Ke chuckled wryly, "Alas, luckily this is just a variety show; if it were a real crime, we'd have a real headache."

Han Fei shook his head and laughed, "I'm now a bit looking forward to this kid's performance."

"He's really a talent!"

"In all my years of criminal investigation, I've never met such a tricky fellow."

"When the show ends, we have to catch this kid and give him a good roasting."

"Then we'll put him in the Investigation Team."

Chen Ke also laughed, "My Team Leader, that's not something to do; if he joins the Investigation Team, the show loses its fun."

"Solved the case in five minutes."

The plainclothes officers all laughed.

……

With Han Fei's review, all the viewers fell silent.

Some understood this time.

Some still didn't understand.

"Um… still didn't get it."

"What does it mean?"

"I didn't get it either…"

"Upstairs, let's change the program."

"Explain it once more; some still aren't clear."

"Being in it, one can imagine the victim's terror."

"Team Leader Han Fei is truly impressive; he grasped every checkpoint of this matter instantly and reviewed it so clearly."

"Unfortunately, Xu Mo is a monster."

"The Program Crew chose the right person this time."

"Damn, even TV dramas wouldn't dare write this; truly awesome!!!"

"These tactics are unimaginable; Xu Mo really looks like a human brain???"

The viewers expressed intense anticipation for the Sky Eye Operation program.

In the main Live Broadcast Room, Song Yixue let out a delighted chuckle, "Impressive, impressive."

"No wonder this guy wanted us to handle that bag."

"So everything was prepared for this."

"But now there's a question: why does the man in the first Live Broadcast Room speak intermittently?"

"Obviously the voice is Xu Mo's."

The assistant beside him chuckled wryly and shook his head, "I'm not sure; could they be on a phone call?"

At this moment, Xu Mo had already reappeared in the first Live Broadcast Room.

He carried a Travel Bag, returned to the café with a radiant smile, and sat beside Yang Jingxuan.

He took the coffee from Yang Jingxuan's hand and took a sip.

"Look, your selling‑price money is here; from now on, is your person mine?"

Everyone in the first Live Broadcast Room obviously blew up.

"Whoa, that fast!! So fast to come back!!"

"They were still rummaging through the trash pile over there, and Xu Mo has already returned."

"Sure enough, that guy in the first Live Broadcast Room wasn't Xu Mo!!"

"Damn, this is truly awesome, strolling casually, light as a cloud, and he comes back with the bag."

"He even has idle thoughts to tease Yang Jingxuan."

"What a guy, the selling‑price money, the big star all goes straight to him…"

"If this weren't a program, Yang Jingxuan would be doomed."

"Yeah, this guy is more reckless than a criminal, not restrained at all."

Yang Jingxuan was feeling utterly bored.

She turned her head and saw Xu Mo returning with the Travel Bag, instantly shocked, eyes wide open.

He was out half a day and actually brought back five million!?

How did he do it?

Is it really that amazing?!

Over there, there's actually a whole Investigation Team, but he's just one person.

Yang Jingxuan's head was spinning a bit.

She stared blankly at Xu Mo.

As she was still shocked, Xu Mo plopped down beside her and snatched away her coffee.

She watched as Xu Mo took a sip.

This guy even said something about selling himself for money, that he now belonged to her.

Her pretty little face flushed, and she instantly snatched the coffee from his hand and wiped it.

"Pah! What nonsense."

She then felt her reaction was a bit lacking in momentum, rolled her big eyes, and spoke jokingly.

"If you gave me five million, I could consider it."

Xu Mo said, "Then you're thinking too much."

"How could you think you're more attractive than five million?"

Yang Jingxuan was exasperated, "You!"

"Shameless."

Xu Mo ignored her and instead patted the shoulder of the man who had been showing only his back.

He pulled out two thousand dollars from his bag.

"Hey, buddy, thanks for your hard work today."

"This is your pay!"

The man who had been showing only his back turned around.

It turned out to be Zhang Lüliǎn!!

The audience was bumped by Lüliǎn and almost toppled over.

"Holy shit, this face is so long!"

"Pfft! I got hit in the face!!"

"Damn, I actually thought this guy was Xu Mo this whole afternoon!!"

"Xu Mo, you've played with our feelings!!"

"Damn! This..."

"..."

Although the audience had known earlier that this was a fake Xu Mo, seeing Lüliǎn still made them feel awful.

If you're going to hire a stand-in, at least find someone better-looking.

Damn, is deceiving people really this casual?

"..."

Lüliǎn took the money, his face full of excitement.

"Thanks! Thanks, director!"

"I'll definitely work hard!"

"Um, can I take a photo with Teacher Yang Jingxuan?"

"An autograph is fine too."

He looked at Yang Jingxuan with a frenzied expression, obviously a die-hard fan of hers.

Xu Mo shrugged, "Then you'll have to ask her."

Lüliǎn looked toward Yang Jingxuan.

Yang Jingxuan said, "Forget the photo, just an autograph."

She wasn't being stingy; it's mainly that her current status doesn't allow it.

After all, this Lüliǎn is just an obscure actor.

If he were to go around showing off the photo to deceive people, that would also be trouble.

She has encountered such things before.

Lüliǎn had no objection, and was actually quite easy to please.

"An autograph is fine, fine!"

So Yang Jingxuan signed an autograph, and Lüliǎn, holding the signature and money, left with a beaming face.

Yang Jingxuan proudly lifted her chin, "See? People are coming to me for autographs."

"And look at you, what's your attitude."

Xu Mo just said a sentence and Yang Jingxuan wilted.

"If you keep talking, from now on you'll eat noodles without meatballs forever."

"..."
