Chapter 9: Terrifying Observation Ability, Shocking the Directing Crew

In the studio.

The directing crew was also startled by Xu Mo's sudden move.

No one would have expected Xu Mo to do such a thing.

Several staff members instantly looked at Chief Director Song Yixue.

Just as Song Yixue was about to say something,

she saw Xu Mo move on the live broadcast screen.

He plucked a strand of hair from the female star Yang Jingxuan's head.

"Ah."

Yang Jingxuan let out a slightly painful sound.

Xu Mo then compared the hair he had taken from her head with the strand on the table, and his complexion changed a bit.

It wasn't Yang Jingxuan's hair.

The thickness and smoothness of the two strands were completely different!

As memories of his former self gradually returned,

Xu Mo knew he didn't have a girlfriend.

Lately, no female friends had visited his home.

Only Yang Jingxuan had come in.

That's why Xu Mo pulled Yang Jingxuan's hair for comparison.

The two strands were different.

It meant that, besides Yang Jingxuan, another woman had been in his house!

In this state, Xu Mo couldn't help but become alert.

A woman he didn't know had been to his home.

For what purpose?

Xu Mo's mind raced, his hand never stopped moving, and he began to scan the room.

The Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room were left bewildered by his actions.

"What is Xu Mo doing?"

"How would I know? Why does it feel a bit neurotic?"

"What did he discover?"

…

What is Xu Mo doing?

He is searching for traces left by the woman who entered the room.

Unfortunately, aside from that strand, there were no other traces.

Just when Xu Mo thought there was nothing to find,

at that moment…

He sensed something familiar; the faint red glimmer was captured again.

If you don't pay attention, you won't know.

After focusing his attention, Xu Mo's inspection revealed a hidden camera on his own LCD TV.

He then found an extremely concealed camera above his bedroom curtains.

Even the bathroom mirror contained one.

Within ten minutes, he discovered five hidden cameras in his house.

A camera is still a camera.

What on earth is going on?

Why are there so many cameras in his home?

Could it be that a pervert placed the cameras to secretly watch his monkey show?

Wait…

Monkey show!

In that instant, a flash of insight seemed to strike Xu Mo's mind.

The kidnapped Yang Jingxuan.

The camera inside the car.

The wanted notice on the news.

The traffic police completely unaware of the wanted news.

And the hidden cameras in the house.

All of this seemed linked by a single thread, with the source being the kidnapped Yang Jingxuan.

Was she really kidnapped?

If she truly was kidnapped,

With so many cameras tracking his and Yang Jingxuan's movements and locations, why hasn't there been any development yet?

Combining the two hypotheses he had when encountering the traffic police earlier,

Xu Mo suddenly got an idea and instantly looked at Yang Jingxuan.

At that moment, the entire Live Broadcast Room had already exploded!

"My god, how did this guy manage to find so many Program Crew cameras hidden in his house?"

"Is this Xu Mo really a corporate slave?"

What on earth is this perverse observation skill!

I'm impressed, I really am. Even if in the end this Xu Mo gets caught by the Investigation Team, I'd still call him the strongest Challenger.

Has the Investigation Team not taken action yet? I feel like they're not moving; they said they'd capture Xu Mo's records within half an hour, but that's now impossible!

……

It wasn't only the Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room who were excited.

Even the directing crew in the studio was shocked by Xu Mo's discovery.

Chief Director Song Yixue immediately asked the staff, "When you went to Xu Mo's house to install the Hidden Camera, was there a female colleague?"

"Yes, but we were all wearing dust‑proof shoes and gloves, leaving no trace," the staff replied.

Song Yixue waved her hand, "No, you did leave something—a strand of the female colleague's hair just now."

Xu Mo found that strand of hair, compared it with Yang Jingxuan's hair, and realized it wasn't hers, so he immediately knew someone else had entered his room, which led him to trace the clue and locate the Hidden Camera we had secretly placed in his house.

Hiss!

Hearing Song Yixue say that, the several staff members present gasped and looked shocked.

Everyone looked at each other, and in each other's gaze they saw a look of disbelief.

It was just a hair that they usually ignored beyond all recognition!

And yet it allowed Xu Mo to extract so much information from it.

This guy isn't just strong in observation.

His thinking ability is evidently extraordinary as well.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Song Yixue actually became a bit excited and said, "You're surprised, right? Even we are surprised, and the audience must be surprised too. This Xu Mo is truly a treasure full of surprises. The ratings of the first two episodes were hot, but they were too one‑dimensional, lacking any sense of competition; a show without competition isn't exciting. Over time, our program's ratings would inevitably decline. I didn't expect this Challenger to be so substantial this time—truly a good choice."

At that point she asked, "How many people are watching the live broadcast right now?"

My god!

As soon as she finished speaking, the staff beside her immediately checked the Live Broadcast Room's online viewer count and were stunned.

"How many?" Song Yixue asked again.

The staff stammered, "One… one… ten million five hundred thousand!"

That many!

Even Song Yixue herself was startled; she had a feeling the viewer count would rise because of Xu Mo's performance, but she didn't expect it to be this high.

Just as she was surprised.

From Yang Jingxuan's perspective in the Live Broadcast Room, Xu Mo's voice came through.

"Take off your clothes for me!"
