Chapter 95: Han Fei: Is Xu Mo Just Full‑Stomached and Messing Around?

Will a Prison Break result in a Sentence Increase?

Do we even need to ask?

Though he says he doesn't know.

But in fact, Xu Mo knows very well.

By his doing, all the prisoners who participated in today's Prison Break.

None of them can escape; each must have their sentence extended.

It might even be that the Detention Center can't hold them any longer.

They have to be sent to prison…

After all, a Prison Break is no small matter.

Dragging people into it is indeed not very moral.

But as long as Xu Mo lacks morality, no one can Moral Blackmail him!

…

Before answering, Xu Mo touched his nose.

Zhou Qiaoqiao saw it clearly.

From a psychological standpoint,

Touching one's nose and having unfocused eyes are both pre‑signs of lying.

This shows that Xu Mo knows what consequences the prisoners will face if they attempt a Prison Break.

He just doesn't want to say it.

Although Zhou Qiaoqiao isn't very clear on the relevant regulations.

She should at least know that a Prison Break is extremely serious.

Extending the sentence probably means they can't get away.

Considering that she is also Xu Mo's accomplice.

Zhou Qiaoqiao also began to play dumb.

Don't ask; if you ask, it's because you don't know.

Besides, those locked in the Detention Center have all broken the law.

Let them undergo a period of reform.

That can also be considered a deed beneficial to society!

…

The Investigation Team hurriedly arrived at the Detention Center.

But as soon as they got there, they were stunned.

Outside the Detention Center, all they saw were prisoners in prison garb and police officers in uniform.

The prisoners were running, the officers were chasing…

The scene was utter chaos.

Looking at the scene before them.

At that moment, the four of them instinctively felt something was off.

Of course, what made them uneasy wasn't the fact that all the prisoners ran out.

Having all the prisoners run out wasn't really worrisome.

After all, this is a Detention Center, not a prison.

Those detained here aren't the most heinous criminals.

And they have only been caught by the Police once.

Even if they all escape, recapturing them once more wouldn't take long.

At most it would just consume a lot of police resources.

What truly gave the Investigation Team a chill.

Was that Xu Mo might have already rescued people from the Detention Center!

Without thinking further, Han Fei immediately opened the car door and rushed out.

At that moment, a police officer, escorting a newly captured prisoner, passed by the Investigation Team's vehicle.

Han Fei promptly stepped forward and asked.

"What's going on?"

The officer chuckled wryly: "The prisoners suddenly carried out a collective Prison Break. I just caught one and was about to take him back, but I still have to keep catching people—today's really busy…"

"A collective Prison Break?" Han Fei continued to press: "What about the girl the Program Crew had detained at the Detention Center—did she also escape?"

"They've all fled; there's not a single prisoner left in the Detention Center," the officer replied.

Although Han Fei already had an answer in his mind.

But when he heard that answer with his own ears.

He still couldn't quite accept it.

Xu Mo still rescued the people.

Not only did he rescue them, he also let all the other prisoners in the Detention Center escape.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Han Fei, anguished, shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Are you insane! If you're rescuing people, just rescue them—why release all the prisoners? Is Xu Mo just fucking full‑stomached and messing around!?"

The officer and Han Fei both wore unpleasant expressions.

But the prisoner who had just been recaptured indeed wore a broad smile.

He rubbed his hands together, looked at the police officer with hopeful anticipation: "Um… I performed okay this time, right? Can I get a Sentence Reduction?"

Han Fei: "???"

Police officer: "???"

Prison Break and still want a Sentence Reduction?

What the hell are you thinking!

"What Sentence Reduction are you talking about?" Han Fei suddenly asked.

"Just… a Sentence Reduction," the prisoner said innocently, looking at Han Fei: "Didn't you say that in this Prison Break drill, those who performed well and ran fast could get a Sentence Reduction?"

Before Han Fei could speak.

the police officer beside him directly refuted him.

"What drill? Who told you that a Prison Break can earn a Sentence Reduction?"

Seeing the police officer's expression, the prisoner also became anxious.

He explained while gesturing.

"That's what you said, right? A police officer in a uniform opened all the cell doors, told us it was a drill, and said that anyone who performed well in this drill could get a Sentence Reduction. You wouldn't try to renege on that, would you?"

Hearing the prisoner's words.

Han Fei could almost piece the whole situation together.

It must have been Xu Mo, wearing a police uniform obtained from somewhere unknown, infiltrating the Detention Center.

And he obtained the cell keys.

Then he opened all the cell doors, using the drill as an excuse, treating the prisoners like weapons, creating this Prison Break incident.

Finally, when the prisoners collectively broke out and chaos erupted, he slipped away from the Detention Center amidst the disorder.

After sorting out the whole affair, Han Fei's eye corner twitched involuntarily.

What the hell kind of person is this?

Such a despicable method, and he could pull it off!?

Han Fei glanced at the police officer: "It was Xu Mo, disguised as a police officer, saying that to them."

Hearing that, the police officer beside him was first stunned, then looked at the prisoner.

"You heard, right? Someone pretended to be a police officer; this has nothing to do with us, and we didn't tell you that."

The prisoner was bewildered, his tone a bit frantic.

"Comrade, how could that be? How could anyone masquerade as a police officer inside the Detention Center? Are you trying to cheat us? You promised a Sentence Reduction—how can you not grant it? The New Year is almost here, and I was hoping the reduction would let me get home in time…"

The police officer gave a wry smile.

He also didn't believe anyone would dare to impersonate a police officer inside the Detention Center.

But as it turns out, Xu Mo actually had the guts to do it!

"If we really said it, we certainly wouldn't cheat, but the problem is we didn't say that… This matter is a bit complicated; how it's handled depends on higher‑ups' decisions."

"But let me warn you, don't be too optimistic. After all, a collective Prison Break is no small matter; it's very possible you'll all get a Sentence Increase. Not to mention this year's New Year—by next year you might still be stuck."

After speaking, the police officer looked at Han Fei.

"Han Team, I won't keep you any longer. I have to push this prisoner back inside; there are still a bunch of people out there waiting to be arrested, time is tight."

Han Fei said nothing, but reached out and patted the police officer's shoulder.

He now fully understood the whole chain of events, and probing further would only waste people's time.

At this moment, the prisoner's smile had completely vanished.

He had originally been aiming for a Sentence Reduction.

Now not only is the reduction gone, but he also has to get a Sentence Increase!?

To know, he didn't have much of his sentence left anyway.

Another ten or so days locked up, and he'd be out.

He had originally hoped that a reduction would let him get home for the New Year.

Now, of course.

He won't make it for the New Year!

That's not the worst part.

The worst part is the police officer also said that when next year's New Year comes, he'll still be able to get out.

That means he'll have to stay another year!?

"What a sin… what a sin!"

Because he couldn't bear such a blow.

The prisoner rolled his eyes and fainted…

Seeing this, Han Fei wore a sorrowful expression and sighed.

"Xu Mo, look at the mess you've caused, look at…"
