Chapter 90: Is Xu Mo a Hacker?

"Is that okay? I don't want a lifetime Penguin membership; I just want to watch two episodes of a TV drama," Yang Jingxuan said, full of anticipation, looking at Xu Mo.

"Fine," Xu Mo nodded. "But not now; you have to do me a favor."

Upon hearing that Xu Mo was willing to help.

Yang Jingxuan didn't even think and immediately agreed.

"Alright! Tell me what you want me to do!"

Xu Mo leaned close to Yang Jingxuan's ear and revealed his upcoming plan.

……

Bank.

The officers carrying out the mission were a bit stunned at that moment.

"Wang Ju, why are you making us go back? Xu Mo isn't..."

Before he could finish the sentence, Wang Ju cut him off.

"Xu Mo is not in the bank; he never robbed the bank at all. He tampered with the bank's surveillance. The footage I saw shows Xu Mo now standing at the bank counter, forcing the teller to hand him money."

Hearing this, the officer instinctively looked toward the counter.

There was no one there.

Wang Ju continued.

"Recall the team, and also remember to soothe everyone's emotions. Those who were frightened into fainting or fell and got injured while fleeing should be taken to the hospital; we will cover the costs."

Wang Ju, far away in the Police Station, felt somewhat dejected.

This drill was, to put it mildly, a mess!

It turned out that Xu Mo had them running in circles.

Earlier he had someone check those emergency call numbers.

It turned out they were all virtual numbers.

The emergency call numbers and the bank's surveillance were all fake.

Wang Ju was left speechless.

Wasn't Xu Mo supposed to be just an ordinary office worker?

Using virtual numbers to file false alarms, hacking the bank's surveillance, and replacing the live feed with pre‑prepared video.

Is this something an ordinary office worker could pull off!?

Sheer Cliff—impossible!

A normal office worker certainly wouldn't have that ability.

Only a hacker could do it.

Is Xu Mo a hacker?

But the crucial thing is, Xu Mo's records don't mention that at all!

Had they known this kid was a hacker, could they have suffered such a huge loss?

If they had known from the start that Xu Mo was a hacker, they might never have been duped!

The officers who went out to carry out the arrest, after receiving Wang Ju's order,

immediately chose to recall the team.

and left a squad behind, following Wang Ju's instructions to soothe the frightened people.

They informed everyone that there were no robbers in the bank; it was just a drill, and so on.

After learning it was a false alarm,

everyone let out a sigh of relief.

They all said they could understand.

A burly man, holding a girl's hand, came up to the officers and thanked them.

"Comrade police officer, thank you so much! I've been single for over twenty years, and because of this drill, I found my other half!"

As he said, the burly man gave the girl a hearty hug on the shoulder, beaming.

For the burly man, this was a windfall!

A police drill that ended his single life—what the heck, isn't that a great thing!?

The girl shyly patted the man's broad arm and said, "Stop it!"

The officer was taken aback for a moment.

He guessed that this burly man had just protected the girl in the bank.

That's how he got a girlfriend.

However, at that moment, a young man barged in.

Looking at the girl: "Babe! I finally found you. The police uncle said this is a drill, not a real bank robbery, there are no robbers, we're fine... wait, who is the man holding you?"

At that moment, the man felt a warm sensation on his head.

As if someone feared he would get cold and deliberately gave him a hat!

The girl rolled her eyes, looking completely indifferent.

"Who are you calling 'baby'? Don't speak randomly, don't let my boyfriend misunderstand."

The man widened his eyes: "??? I'm your boyfriend!"

"I'm your ex‑boyfriend; I finally see you clearly. When danger comes, you ditch me and run. I was blind to fall for you!"

After saying that, the girl tugged at the burly man holding her, and the two turned and left.

Only the man was left alone, standing in a mess.

His mind buzzed, and his legs felt as if filled with lead, unable to move.

He watched his girlfriend helplessly as that burly man embraced her, and the two drifted farther apart…

After a long while, the man finally came out of his stunned state.

The girlfriend is gone!?

A drill, and he pretended his girlfriend disappeared, as if she ended up in someone else's arms!?

The officer was also stunned.

This… is a bit over the top!

He reached out and patted the man's shoulder.

He handed him a cigarette.

Although he said nothing, everything was conveyed without words.

……

The Investigation Team side.

They were still driving back to the Detention Center.

Han Fei smoked through most of a pack, yet still couldn't figure it out.

This Xu Mo, how could he be a hacker?

The Xu Mo file doesn't mention that!

But based on the situation they currently have.

Xu Mo must be a hacker.

Otherwise, the False Alarm Report and the bank's internal surveillance video would be inexplicable.

As for Xu Mo seeking help or anything.

That's simply impossible.

Who, even with the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, would dare help Xu Mo with this?

Know that filing a False Alarm Report and tampering with bank surveillance are both illegal.

Xu Mo can do it because his current situation is special; filing a False Alarm Report and tampering with bank surveillance, he truly dares to do, and it's not illegal.

Because Xu Mo now has a buff that makes robbing a bank not illegal…

Han Fei can almost conclude that Black Surveillance and the like, no one would dare assist with.

It could only have been done by Xu Mo.

But…

If Xu Mo truly possesses Hacker Technique,

why isn't it mentioned in his personal file?

Unless this kid Xu Mo secretly learned Hacker Technique and has never used it!

Li Chen was so angry his teeth ached.

"Hacker… truly a nightmare! If we had known Xu Mo was a hacker earlier, we wouldn't have fallen into this trap!"

"Who says it isn't?" Chen Ke, who was driving, also snarked: "This move of luring the tiger away from the mountain is really beautiful, damn!"

After the snark, he angrily slapped the steering wheel.

His mindset had already collapsed.

Han Fei also let out a sigh.

Although they had already crossed paths with Xu Mo many times and understood his tricks well.

Logically, upon learning that Xu Mo would start robbing a bank instead of rescuing people, they should have realized there was a scam.

But the problem lies in this Hacker Technique.

Who the hell could have thought Xu Mo was a hacker?

Who could have guessed the bank's surveillance was tampered?

If they had known Xu Mo's hacker identity,

they wouldn't have let it be played out so thoroughly!

……

Detention Center.

A woman stood at the entrance shouting loudly.

"Comrade, where is my brother? Didn't you say you released him yesterday? I've been waiting at home all day and haven't seen him, calls go unanswered, did you not release him?"

The woman said this while trying to go inside.

It instantly drew the attention of the officer at the door.

"Impossible, we never get the release time wrong. What's your brother's name? I'll check for you."

As the officer spoke with the woman,

a police officer whose cap brim was pulled down extremely low quickly entered the Detention Center…
