Chapter 73: Chatting Whiz

After the Mercedes drove away.

The Group 3 plainclothes officers crouching at the inn entrance immediately gave chase.

The plainclothes officer who was running a crepe‑with‑fried‑dough stall simply gave up the stall.

Without a word, he swung open the door of a car nearby and got in.

Aside from these Group 3 plainclothes officers.

Headquarters also dispatched a large contingent of police to Jingrui Original Villa.

It seems this arrest mission is bound to succeed.

The Investigation Team members were also on the road, driving there.

In the car, Chen Ke frowned and looked at the others.

"Are you saying this Xu Mo is the Xu Mo we're looking for?"

"Eight or nine out of ten," Han Fei replied. "There aren't that many coincidences in this world."

Han Fei casually fished a cigarette pack from his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it.

He took a hard drag, then slowly exhaled the smoke.

"And I keep feeling a nagging unease—why does Xu Mo instantly get mixed up with the Scam Gang?"

"Isn't it said that Xu Mo is the Scam Gang's target? That just means he was scammed," Li Chen blurted out without much thought.

He said it before anyone else could object.

He then contradicted himself.

"No, that's not right… How could Xu Mo be scammed? No matter how powerful the Scam Gang is, they couldn't scheme against Xu Mo."

At that moment, Shen Manni, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly blurted out, "Could it be that Xu Mo deliberately set a trap for the Scam Gang?"

That viewpoint was immediately endorsed by Han Fei.

"I also lean toward that view; this must be a trap Xu Mo set for the Scam Gang. He might… be helping Hangcheng Police catch criminals?"

Even though he thought that.

But even Han Fei himself was somewhat uncertain.

Does Xu Mo really have such a kind heart?

Perhaps, besides wanting to help Hangcheng Police catch people, he's also pursuing some other hidden agenda!

For example… posing as a victim to turn the scammers' money against them?

I have to admit, Xu Mo's scheme is so blatant that Han Fei can hear it from miles away.

…

Jingrui Original Villa.

Inside a villa.

A very young director was inside the house, briefing the Extras on the scene.

"You all remembered what I just said, right? When the cast arrives, we start shooting; nobody drop the ball, got it?"

"This time we're shooting hidden‑camera; when you act, don't think about finding the lens, just act."

"The performance must feel truly clear, okay?"

"If anyone screws up, I won't care about today's boxed lunch."

After he finished speaking, the Extras in the house all nodded.

"Don't worry, Director! I've been a professional bit‑part actor for twenty years."

"Director, we're all professionals, we guarantee a clean take."

"Our acting guarantees realism, truly real!"

…

"Alright then, have you all memorized the main lines?" the young director smiled.

Just as all the bit‑part actors claimed they had the lines memorized perfectly.

One of the Extras in the crowd lowered his head, glanced at the script sheet the director gave him, and fell into thought.

In this scene, he only has one line.

To be precise, it's three characters.

A three‑character line, how could he forget?

He seriously suspects the director looks down on him.

But for the sake of the lunch box, he endured.

If it weren't for the lunch box, he'd argue with the director at length!

A three‑character line, and they still ask whether he remembered it.

Who's looking down on whom!? Huh?

At this moment, the young director glanced at the time on his phone.

He guessed the rest of the actors would be in position soon.

He shouted, "Everyone take your positions!"

The Extras quickly moved to the spots the director had assigned them.

Waiting for the scene to start filming.

…

A black Mercedes arrived at the gate of the Jingrui Original Villa complex.

The rear window lowered slowly, and Wang Yue, smiling, said to the guard.

"We're here to see a friend; could you, guard, open the door?"

The security guard gave the car in front of him a once‑over.

A Mercedes S‑Class—definitely a big boss!

He simply skipped registration, asked a few quick questions, and then let both the people and the car in.

Upon entering the villa district, Yang Jingxuan gave a more detailed address.

So the driver began to circle around the villa district.

After a round of searching, he finally found the villa that Yang Jingxuan had mentioned.

"Is this it?" Wang Yue asked.

"Hmm…" Yang Jingxuan tilted her head, surveyed the villa before her, and said, "Yes, this is it."

Wang Yue wasn't in a hurry to go inside.

Instead, she stayed put, waiting for her accomplice.

On the contrary, Yang Jingxuan seemed a bit impatient.

"Do we want to not go in now?"

"Not urgent," Wang Yue shook her head. "My friends haven't arrived yet; it's fine to wait until they come before going in."

Hearing that, Yang Jingxuan nodded. "Oh."

After that, the car fell into silence.

Yang Jingxuan, the chatterbox, couldn't help staying silent.

She pointed at the black stockings on Wang Yue's leg.

"Sister, your black stockings…"

Wang Yue smiled.

"Do you also like the black stockings from this brand?"

"I do like them; I've bought many before, but yours looks fake…"

Wang Yue: "…"

The atmosphere in the car was unbearably awkward.

Even the Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room could feel Wang Yue's awkwardness through the screen.

"Hahaha, Yang Jingxuan is really a damn chat whiz."

"Your car isn't as pricey as mine, your stockings are fake, this kid is way too sincere!"

"By the way, where's Xu Mo? He's been missing from the camera for a while now."

"If nothing unexpected happened, Xu Mo should be inside this villa, probably arranging some scam‑related matters."

……

At the gate of Jing Rui's original villa.

An Iveco Jinbei arrived.

The security guard frowned instinctively at the vehicle.

The S‑Class earlier was let in without issue.

At least they're rich.

But this busted Jinbei can't be let in.

He gestured at the Jinbei, saying, "Strangers aren't allowed in here."

As he spoke, the rear window of the Jinbei slowly lowered.

Inside, the car was packed to the brim with people.

The security guard was stunned.

This busted car can hold so many people?

Realizing the guard was frightened, someone inside the car called out, "Open the door!"

The guard, very principled, replied, "That's against the rules. Why don't you get out and register?"

The people in the car seemed to hear a funny joke.

"Ha ha, he wants us to get out and register?"

"Then go down and register properly, don't make it hard for him."

"Fine, then let's register!"

While speaking, the guard used his remote to raise the barrier across the entrance.

"No, no, no… No registration, we don't need to register!"

The driver gave the guard a withering look.

He pressed the accelerator.

After driving the car inside, he finally turned his head toward the others in the vehicle.

"Sister Yue said this time we'll strike fast and finish this batch, then we'll run away; later, none of you should let me down."
