Chapter 42: Is Xu Mo Preparing to Fly Out of Yangcheng?

"Why aren't those two running away? Could it be that they plan to stay hidden in the hotel forever?"

"Speaking of it, the Investigation Team is really dumb; the other side is clearly hiding right under their noses in the hotel, yet they searched for so long and still didn't find them."

"The key is that Xu Mo isn't even worried about the Investigation Team coming up, as if he had concluded they wouldn't show up. I'm curious—what's his basis for that judgment?"

Xu Mo and Yang Jingxuan, to hide their whereabouts as much as possible, have been staying in the hotel for two days, and haven't even left the door during that time.

The viewers in the Live Broadcast Room stubbornly watched the two of them lie low in the hotel for two days.

During that time, Xu Mo didn't do much; he spent almost the whole day clutching his phone, and no one knew what he was up to.

Program Crew Chief Director Song Yixue also stared at the live stream, and seeing the composed Xu Mo appear in Room No. 3 Live Broadcast Room, her mouth involuntarily curved upward for a moment.

"This episode is indeed much more interesting than the previous ones."

I really underestimated Xu Mo; the Investigation Team is right there within arm's reach, yet how does he dare stay so calm?

Is it because he still has some backup plan?

…

Dong— dong— dong—.

Hearing the knock, Yang Jingxuan instinctively looked at Xu Mo.

"We don't seem to have ordered any food. Could it be that the Investigation Team came looking?"

"No," Xu Mo shook his head and said, "The person we're waiting for has arrived."

After speaking, Xu Mo got up to open the door.

"The person we're waiting for?" Yang Jingxuan muttered.

Turning her puzzled face toward the doorway, she saw that the person who knocked was already gone, and Xu Mo's hands now held a multitude of Express Packages of various sizes.

Xu Mo carried a stack of Express Packages into the room, and Yang Jingxuan closed the door.

While Yang Jingxuan was closing the door, Xu Mo was opening the packages.

After the door closed, Yang Jingxuan came to Xu Mo's side and curiously pointed at the packages.

"These are the things you bought that day with the Flight Attendant's phone? What's inside?"

"A Special Printer, special paper, plus some ink, some chemicals, a bunch of random stuff, and makeup props used by the production crew."

As soon as the words finished, Yang Jingxuan was even more puzzled.

"What are you going to do with these things?"

Xu Mo gave no lengthy explanation, simply speaking calmly.

"You'll find out in a moment."

While speaking, he sequentially opened the Express Packages, took out everything inside, and then got to work.

Yang Jingxuan stood beside him, completely not understanding what Xu Mo was doing, and the camera on her clothing was pointed at him.

The Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room also didn't grasp what Xu Mo was up to.

…

Ten minutes later, Xu Mo stopped his actions, stretched out his hand, and flicked the Pilot Credentials he had just cobbled together in ten minutes, saying, "Done."

Seeing the Pilot Credentials Xu Mo had labored over for half an hour, Yang Jingxuan's voice suddenly rose a few notches.

"Pilot Credentials? You were forging a fake certificate just now!?"

At the same time, the Water Friends in Room No. 3 Live Broadcast Room were also dumbfounded.

"What on earth is Xu Mo doing? He even forges certificates?"

"Is this guy a corporate slave?! Seeing his skillful moves just now, I'd even believe he makes a living forging certificates!"

"This kid's a criminal, forging certificates so smoothly. So… why forge a Pilot Credential? Could it help him escape?"

…

"Why make a fuss? Pack up and get ready to go," Xu Mo said, looking at Yang Jingxuan.

Xu Mo took one of the smaller Express Packages to the Restroom.

After a while, when he emerged, a beard and a scar adorned his face, looking completely different from before.

If Yang Jingxuan hadn't seen Xu Mo walk into the Restroom with her own eyes, she wouldn't even think the middle‑aged man before her was Xu Mo.

"What... is this..."

"I'm planning to apply to the Airline Company as a Pilot, and you apply as a Flight Attendant; we'll go together," Xu Mo replied.

Hearing that, Yang Jingxuan's little mind was filled with huge doubts.

Apply for Pilot? Apply for Flight Attendant?

What is Xu Mo trying to do?

Shouldn't we be trying to evade the Investigation Team now?

Seeing Yang Jingxuan's expression, Xu Mo already guessed what she wanted to ask.

"Are you wondering why we need to apply?"

Yang Jingxuan kept nodding, hoping Xu Mo would clear her up.

The next second, Xu Mo walked to the window and pointed down at the street.

"You see, Yangcheng is the Investigation Team's stronghold; here they have so many advantages that they can mobilize countless people at will, which is very unfavorable for us."

"Then what does that have to do with you applying for Pilot?"

"Stupid," Xu Mo rolled his eyes. "We can't walk out of Yangcheng; the only ways out are by plane or high‑speed rail. Both require real‑name registration now, so we definitely can't take them. If we can't take them, can I still not fly?"

Yang Jingxuan: "???"

She understood Xu Mo's meaning.

Xu Mo is preparing to apply to the Airline Company as a Pilot, then use that pilot identity to fly out of Yangcheng!

But... can Xu Mo actually fly a plane?

Hold on, I'll also make a Flight Attendant resume for you, you can use it when applying.

Xu Mo ignored Yang Jingxuan's frightened little glance, and on his own used the printer to print a Flight Attendant resume for Yang Jingxuan.

A resume doesn't need to be forged; just write whatever, as long as it's not too exaggerated.

Moreover, Yang Jingxuan's looks and height both meet the selection criteria for Flight Attendants, so her applying for a Flight Attendant job wouldn't be a big problem.

She reached out and tugged Xu Mo's collar, saying, "Xu Mo, why don't we turn ourselves in…".

Driving a car already requires taking a driver's license test; flying a plane can't be that much harder than driving, can it?

Even if the forged Pilot Credentials wouldn't be exposed, could Xu Mo actually fly a plane?

Obviously impossible.

Seeing this, the Live Broadcast Room exploded.

"Damn… fly a plane to escape Yangcheng? Only Xu Mo could think of that!"

"I said why is he laboriously forging Pilot Credentials, implying he wants to fly a plane and leave Yangcheng?"

"Crazy, absolutely crazy, can an ordinary person be a Pilot?"

"Xu Mo probably doesn't know that applying for a Pilot at an Airline Company isn't just based on one credential; during the interview, as soon as they ask two professional questions, he'd be exposed at the Sheer Cliff!"

"Now Xu Mo is finished; if the forged Pilot Credentials are discovered, the Airline Company staff will surely report to the police, and he'll be caught red‑handed."
