Chapter 323: In the End, I Got Duped Big Time

"Damn, never ending?" hearing footsteps behind, Zhu Bajie felt a bit desperate.

His companions had long fled, only his leg was injured so he couldn't run fast.

But when he turned his head, he saw only Xu Mo, and upon seeing that, his hanging heart instantly relaxed.

"How many people am I supposed to be? Just one? One person still damn dares to chase me? The point is, the one who caught up isn't that strong fighter from before!"

"The one in the floral dress before I couldn't beat, now this pretty boy—can I still not beat him?"

He just doesn't believe it; every one of these police officers has such good skills!

All of them are martial artists? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Thinking that, he simply stopped running, intending to wait for Xu Mo to get close and then deliver a fatal blow.

"I damn let you chase me!" Seeing Xu Mo close, at such short range it would be easy to land, Zhu Bajie casually grabbed a slab of brick from the ground and smashed it toward Xu Mo's head.

If it hit solidly, at least it would start a concussion.

But he clearly underestimated Xu Mo; Xu Mo's skill is even better than Chen Ke's, and with a quick crouch he easily dodged the brick.

Seeing that, Zhu Bajie was slightly stunned, "He's still quite agile? Let's see how many times you can dodge!" Then he bent over to pick up another brick.

However, when he looked up again, he was dumbfounded.

Xu Mo, taking advantage of his bending to pick up the brick, drew his gun…

"Put it down, hands behind your head, squat against the wall."

He glanced at the brick in his hand, then at the gun in Xu Mo's hand.

Zhu Bajie quickly dropped the brick, honestly put his hands behind his head and squatted facing the wall.

The dark barrel of the gun was pointed at him; which is faster, the brick or the gun, needn't be said.

In this situation, playing scared is the best choice.

Seeing this, Xu Mo immediately stepped forward, took out Handcuffs and cuffed Zhu Bajie's hands behind his back.

Xu Mo didn't continue chasing the remaining three, not because he didn't want to, but because he simply didn't know where to pursue.

The terrain of Penghu Qu is truly complex; the reason he could catch Zhu Bajie was that the guy was injured, his legs were unsteady, he ran too slowly, and Xu Mo happened to see his escape direction.

As for the other three, Xu Mo also couldn't.

His night vision, though far stronger than an ordinary person's, is still of limited use in the winding, maze‑like Penghu Qu; after all, he can't see through walls.

Of course, catching this one alone is enough.

In a four‑person gang, if he can catch one, why worry about not catching the other three?

Xu Mo looked at Zhu Bajie: "Who are your few comrades, respectively? Where are the girls you tied up?"

Hearing that, Zhu Bajie turned his head aside, having no intention of answering Xu Mo's questions.

"You're still quite loyal…" Xu Mo stared at him and continued: "Cooperating actively can count as Merit, allowing Sentence Reduction; at least you could shave off a few years in prison. Are you sure you don't want this chance?"

Zhu Bajie remained unmoved.

He had already decided to say nothing.

The Sentence Reduction, however, isn't reliable; even if he snitched on his comrades, whether he gets reduction, and how much, is uncertain.

And if it weren't for his comrades, he would have been caught just now and couldn't have run that far.

"Murderer" can still risk being caught to save him; he's not some unprincipled scoundrel.

No matter how Xu Mo asks next, he won't say a word!

However, the scenario Xu Mo imagined of continuing to question him never occurred.

Xu Mo pressed his hand on his earpiece, then spoke into it.

"You also caught one? This Zhu Bajie is really stubborn, says nothing. Did you catch that Tang Seng?"

Seeing Xu Mo deliberately say that in front of him, Zhu Bajie sneered.

Divide‑and‑conquer? You think this low‑level trick can fool me? No way!

Xu Mo simply ignored the sneering Zhu Bajie and continued speaking into his earpiece.

"Their hideout is near the intersection of Dayu Road and Xifeng Road? What else did he say? Did he reveal the true identities of the other two?"

Zhu Bajie widened his eyes:???

Near the intersection of Dayu Road and Xifeng Road?

That damn is exactly where their hideout is!

Their goods are all locked up there, haven't had time to act yet.

That place is rarely visited, extremely hidden; the police could never know.

But Xu Mo happened to mention that place, so there's only one possibility: Xu Mo is telling the truth, their boss Tang Seng really was captured!

And he also gave away the location of their hideout…

To get Sentence Reduction for himself, he actually acted so unloyal?

Thinking carefully, he realized his boss could indeed do such treacherous things, because the first one to run away was that guy, never considering the remaining three!

Before he could think further, Zhu Bajie couldn't hold back any longer.

He claimed to be loyal, said nothing, even refused the Sentence Reduction chance, yet the boss showed no loyalty at all, immediately revealing the hideout's location…

Given this, the boss will surely turn in the other two brothers to get Sentence Reduction.

The four brothers probably can't escape; since they're all caught, why shouldn't the Sentence Reduction opportunity be theirs too? Can't give it all to the boss alone!

Thinking that, Zhu Bajie spoke up directly.

"I know the true identities of the remaining two, I'll tell you! One is Xiong Yan, the other is Zhang Li! Both are from Yangcheng, I also know their exact home addresses: one lives at Hanjiang Huayuan Building 3, 504, and the other at…"

After spouting it all out, Xu Mo lowered the hand that was pressing his earpiece, giving him a half‑smile, half‑frown stare.

"You're being quite cooperative, aren't you? Continue—besides those two, what's the name of the other? Where exactly is your hideout at the Dayu Road and Xifeng Road intersection? Where are the girls you captured now?"

The things Xu Mo said earlier were all intentional.

The remaining officers simply didn't catch anyone else; as for the lair of these human traffickers, Xu Mo also doesn't know.

The intersection of Dayu Road and Xifeng Road is the place they had previously found when checking surveillance, a suspected criminals' lair; whether it's actually there or not, Xu Mo himself isn't clear either.

He just wanted to try to see if he could get them to talk; he didn't expect it to actually work.

The scheme to sow discord…… it really works well!

No wonder the Police Station always interrogates suspects separately when questioning criminals.

Zhu Bajie looked at Xu Mo with a clueless expression.

In the end, they still fell for Xu Mo's big b trick!
