Chapter 438: Boss, Are Your Eyes Unwell?
Wang Dachuan just turned to see what was happening, and Han Fei reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Alright, comrade, stop complaining, the investigation is important, let's go in."
After speaking, Han Fei led the way into the SirenBowuguan.
Seeing that, Wang Dachuan immediately followed, saying nothing more.
Actually he was just venting a bit earlier, with no malice.
The group reached the entrance, but before entering they were stopped by the security guard at the door.
"Excuse me, this is a SirenBowuguan; you need to buy a ticket to enter and view."
"We're not here to visit; I'm a police officer," Han Fei flashed his Police Badge, "I need to borrow your surveillance to investigate a case."
As soon as the words finished, the guard instantly broke into a smile.
"So you're a police comrade, but checking the footage I have to report up; I'm just a guard, I can't decide, please wait a moment."
"Alright, thanks," Han Fei smiled.
Then the guard picked up the desk phone, preparing to make a call.
However, just as he was about to call for approval, he inadvertently spotted a familiar face among the officers—it was unmistakably their boss.
Though he had never seen the boss in person, the guard had seen his photo and instantly recognized Xu Mo winking at him in the crowd.
"Boss, you're here; I was just about to call you… what's wrong with your eyes? Uncomfortable? Did sand get in them? Want me to blow them out for you?"
Xu Mo: "…"
Who the hell got sand in their eyes? Is my wink supposed to mean that?!
What a pig teammate!
His wink at the guard meant "keep it quiet, don't reveal my identity"; Xu Mo didn't want to be conspicuous, not because of sand in his eyes.
Since his role as the behind‑the‑scenes owner of the SirenBowuguan was exposed, a rift with everyone is inevitable—how can he get along happily afterward?
Xu Mo is not Wang Duoyu; he doesn't like to lay his cards on the table.
"Your boss is here?" Han Fei turned his head back, seeing no stranger.
He was puzzled, so he glanced in the direction the guard was looking and saw the guard staring at Xu Mo.
Something's off; I'll take another look.
Han Fei looked at the guard again, followed his gaze, and indeed confirmed the guard was looking at Xu Mo.
Han Fei: "???"
Xu Mo is the behind‑the‑scenes owner of the SirenBowuguan??
For a moment, Han Fei felt his mind couldn't process it.
He knew Xu Mo was wealthy, after all he had participated in that program before.
But he didn't expect Xu Mo to be that rich—actually able to run a SirenBowuguan!
Setting up a SirenBowuguan costs a lot of money.
Moreover, wasn't Xu Mo's money supposed to go toward luxury cars, villas, yachts, and lighting? Where did he get the funds to open this SirenBowuguan?
No, there must be some misunderstanding… Han Fei thought.
"He's your boss?" Han Fei looked at Xu Mo, then at the guard.
"Hmm!" the guard nodded, "Officer, you didn't know?"
Not only Han Fei was stunned, the guard was a bit confused too.
These officers don't recognize their own boss? Then why bring the boss here?
The guard never tried to fit Xu Mo into a police identity, because the two roles clearly don't match; he never imagined the SirenBowuguan's hidden owner was a police officer.
After receiving the guard's affirmative reply, Han Fei felt his head buzz and stared blankly at Xu Mo.
"You… you opened it?"
"At this point I can't keep it hidden; I won't fake it—I'm a billionaire, I'm coming clean…" Xu Mo stepped up to Han Fei, knowing what puzzled him, and prepared to explain.
Of course, he wasn't claiming to have a system; he was just ready to make up an excuse on the spot to smooth things over.
Xu Mo walked to Han Fei's side, pulled him aside, and whispered, "This museum is one of the rewards the state gave me after that incident."
The incident Xu Mo referred to was him "finding" and turning in that Small Fishing Boat.
Others didn't know, but Han Fei did, so even without a full explanation, Han Fei instantly grasped Xu Mo's meaning.
After all that fuss, it turned out to be a reward after that incident, so it's fine… Han Fei, having heard Xu Mo's explanation, didn't ask any further questions.
To Han Fei, Xu Mo's explanation seemed perfectly reasonable.
Han Fei suddenly realized, "Ah! So that's how it is… I understand!"
A single SirenBowuguan does cost a lot, but compared to what Xu Mo donated, the museum is peanuts.
Not even ten SirenBowuguans together would amount to much!
After resolving his big inner doubt, Han Fei looked at the bewildered officers behind him.
When Han Fei turned back, the officers stared at him with puzzled faces, eager to know what Team Leader Xu and Han Team had just said.
However, Han Fei didn't intend to explain, since it involved the confidentiality agreement they signed back then, which he couldn't reveal.
"Why are you standing idle? Get on with the work!"
Yet even after Han Fei said that, the officers still took no action.
The impact of this matter was so strong that everyone was a bit stunned.
Xu Mo actually opened a SirenBowuguan!
Among them, the most stunned was Wang Dachuan.
He recalled the words he had said not long ago…
No wonder his spine went cold then; after all, Team Leader Xu was watching him!
He's finished; I said his bad stuff right in front of Team Leader Xu. He won't give me a hard time, will he?
Thinking of that, Wang Dachuan felt a wave of regret.
He wished he could slap himself twice—what a filthy mouth!
Seeing the officers take no action, Han Fei's face went stone‑cold: "Still just standing there?"
The officers only then moved, rushing into the museum, preparing to check the surveillance in the Monitoring Room.
When they passed by Wang Dachuan, they couldn't help but pat his shoulder, giving him a look that seemed to wish him luck…
Wang Dachuan: "o_o...."
