Chapter 7: Xu Mo's Thoughts and Speculations

Following the studio's decision.

Soon, the live broadcast room, which had been a black screen, suddenly showed activity.

The live broadcast picture resumed, but it was no longer the previous direct filming; instead, it was surveillance footage.

In the camera view was Yangcheng Avenue after nine o'clock at night, with vehicles flowing continuously.

A black Volkswagen appeared in the frame.

Its license plate was Guangdong AXXXX.

This was Xu Mo's car.

The Water Friends in the live broadcast room naturally knew as well, and couldn't help but marvel at the program crew's methods.

"This program crew really went all out, even getting the Transport Bureau to cooperate with them."

"No kidding, this show seems to be officially organized."

"I didn't expect the program crew to be forced by this Xu Mo to use the traffic surveillance cameras; this Xu Mo has something going for him."

"Can you guess how long Xu Mo can hold out before being caught?"

"I bet an hour; although he discovered the program crew's hidden cameras, it's utterly useless—he'll still be caught if they're going to catch him."

"I bet Xu Mo will be the challenger who lasts the longest in this three-phase challenge."

"Come on, in my view Xu Mo is just a blind cat that happened upon a dead mouse—he merely stumbled onto the program crew's cameras by chance. If it were the first-phase Investigation Team, he might last another hour or two, but this phase, I see no chance."

"The Investigation Team said they'd catch Xu Mo within half an hour—now there's going to be a good show to watch."

……

Just as the Water Friends in the live broadcast room were discussing Xu Mo,

The camera entered the live broadcast room picture.

Streams of neon light reflected on the car window, constantly flashing across Xu Mo's face.

First, the car's trunk revealed a kidnapped female star.

Then came the hidden camera inside the car.

Xu Mo felt these two things were connected, giving him an indescribable strange feeling.

He is the kidnapper.

How could someone install a camera in his own car?

Or is this some kind of fun, stimulating game?

A 360-degree, all-around, no-blind-spot filming?

Crazy.

He shook his head.

Logically speaking, if the kidnapper really had tied up Yang Jingxuan, why would they have to put her in his car's trunk?

Wouldn't hiding Yang Jingxuan somewhere else be a better choice?

Moreover, is it necessary to place so many hidden surveillance cameras inside the car?

After thinking it over, Xu Mo felt it wasn't that simple.

The kidnapper had no need to do such a thing.

Because the risk was too high.

His attire and the cash he had in the car were sufficient.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem to be in urgent need of a large sum of money.

Xu Mo couldn't think of an answer for the moment.

The simplest thing now is to ask the female star trussed up in the car's trunk.

Having cleared his thoughts, Xu Mo then gripped the steering wheel and drove forward.

Not long after the car started moving, two police cars appeared at the intersection ahead, their red and blue lights flashing continuously, and a traffic officer in uniform walked over.

Xu Mo's eyes involuntarily narrowed.

What kind of person does he fear encountering most right now?

The answer is traffic officers!

There is indeed a female star bound with ropes in his car's trunk.

As long as the trunk is opened,

anyone seeing the inside would leave Xu Mo no chance to explain.

Moreover, just earlier, the wanted bulletin broadcast his information, including his license plate number.

The wanted information has been released.

Is he going to explain with his head?

Indeed, whatever he fears comes to pass.

Xu Mo's nerves were slightly tense; he wanted to turn around, but at this point it was obviously too late—after nine o'clock, Yangcheng Avenue is at peak hour, and many vehicles are piled up behind his black Volkswagen, leaving no room for him to turn.

"Stop!"

The approaching traffic officer shouted, simultaneously turning his gaze to Xu Mo's license plate.

That glance made Xu Mo inside the car feel his heart jump.

Was he about to be discovered?

However, strangely, the officer merely glanced at his license plate, saw nothing unusual, walked up to Xu Mo's car window, and tapped on it.

Xu Mo rolled down the window and saw the officer produce something, saying, "Blow."

"Are you checking for drunk driving?" Xu Mo asked.

"With that question, what else would we be checking if not for drunk driving?" the officer glanced at him and said, "Blow."

Xu Mo laughed and said, "I haven't drunk alcohol."

He was deliberately uncooperative, so after saying that, he focused his attention on the expression on the traffic officer's face.

The other party impatiently said, "Just blow when I tell you to; you'll know if you've drunk after one blow."

The traffic officer's tone began to turn stern: "Blow quickly! Don't waste time here, or I'll deduct your points."

Didn't you notice?

Xu Mo suddenly felt somewhat strange.

Logically speaking, even he could receive news pop-up alerts; as a police officer, how could he possibly not have received it?

As long as he saw that news.

He would definitely know his license plate.

But looking at the expression on this traffic officer's face, it's obvious he is unaware.

This is very strange.

It's strange enough to make Xu Mo feel somewhat surprised.

What's going on?

Xu Mo increasingly felt that tonight's events were somewhat weird.

"Will you blow or not?"

The traffic officer asked again.

"Okay, okay, okay." Xu Mo then complied and blew.

After a while, the instrument showed normal, and the traffic officer, not in a good mood, said a few words to Xu Mo and let him go.

Xu Mo then restarted the car and drove on the road, lost in thought.

Not right.

Logically speaking, for such a major incident, with the location within Xu Mo's work area, how could the traffic officer possibly not know the license plate number?

Something's off.

Too off.

This either has two possibilities.

One possibility is that the traffic officer truly didn't receive that Wanted Status.

Another possibility is that the Wanted Status is fake!

It must be said, after experiencing two points of brain cell activity increase, Xu Mo's brain works quickly.

He glanced at the rearview mirror, staring at the trunk behind the car.

To figure out these things, he needs to ask that female celebrity who is tightly bound.

Just then.

Suddenly, a strange yet familiar memory appeared in his mind!

It's about his previous incarnation!

Xu Mo suddenly knew his residence address in this world!

Truly, having searched everywhere in vain, it came easily without effort!
