Chapter 96: Jingxuan, You

All the police officers, from top to bottom, in the entire Detention Center.

Their moods aren't very good.

You should know that, for places like Detention Centers and prisons,

there are hardly any matters more serious than a prisoner's Prison Break.

Especially this time, it's a damn unprecedented mass Prison Break!

All the prisoners in the Detention Center fled; how can that be allowed?

A Prison Break doesn't only involve the prisoners.

The police officers who guard them also bear joint responsibility.

After all, these prisoners escaped during the officers' watch.

That indicates poor supervision and a serious dereliction of duty on their part.

Even if they can recapture them in time,

they're still likely to face some punishment.

If they fail to catch them back…

the consequences will only be worse.

This Prison Break incident,

the police officers cannot escape blame, and the Detention Center's person in charge even more so.

If accountability is pursued, his responsibility is even greater.

Thus, what the person in charge fears most is a prisoner actually succeeding in a Prison Break.

Although the odds of these prisoners succeeding in a Prison Break are low, he still can't help being scared.

At this moment, he is as frantic as an ant on a hot pan.

He paces back and forth in his office.

Praying that the police officers under him would step up a bit.

Not a single prisoner may be let escape!

Otherwise, his career would be effectively over.

…

Yet while the Detention Center's police officers and the person in charge are getting increasingly anxious,

the mastermind behind this, Xu Mo,

is, like nothing's wrong, driving a police car toward the city.

For Xu Mo,

he only gave the police officers and prisoners a little trouble.

Thus, he never put the matter on his mind at all.

He forgot about it early on.

"When are we going to rob a bank?" Yang Jingxuan suddenly said.

Zhou Qiaoqiao gave Yang Jingxuan a startled look.

She had watched the program before she came.

If I recall correctly, Yang Jingxuan… should be a hostage?

A kidnapped hostage, with an excited expression, is asking her kidnapper when they'll rob a bank.

I have to admit, the scene is indeed rather bizarre.

Zhou Qiaoqiao couldn't help whispering a reminder.

"Jingxuan, you're supposed to be playing the hostage kidnapped by the robber…"

Hearing that, Yang Jingxuan snapped her head around and locked eyes with Zhou Qiaoqiao.

Yang Jingxuan fell silent.

The Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room were all stunned.

"Hahaha, a person questioning the robber about when to rob a bank, that's damn hilarious."

"If all hostages were like this, the robbers would probably be overjoyed."

"This isn't a hostage at all; it's clearly someone trying hard to pass a test to become a robber."

"Honey, be more careful; you are a hostage, a hostage! Don't ever go down an irreversible path!"

…

After an hour's drive,

Xu Mo drove the car into the city.

He parked the car by the roadside.

He left the car key inside the vehicle.

For Xu Mo, that counts as returning the car.

And to make it easier for the police officer who lost the car to locate it,

he even deliberately parked it in front of the surveillance camera that records illegal roadside parking.

ensuring the camera can clearly capture the vehicle's license plate.

So much so that Xu Mo even thought about awarding himself.

He's really thoughtful!

"Get out, find a place to rest, and meanwhile plan the bank‑robbery details," Xu Mo said, then opened the door and stepped out first.

Yang Jingxuan and Zhou Qiaoqiao followed, getting out of the car as well.

They had just stepped out of the car when a traffic police officer walked over.

Seeing Xu Mo driving a police car and wearing a police uniform.

At a glance one could tell he was from a brother department.

Moreover, the police car had just stopped.

So they stepped forward, ready to persuade Xu Mo to move the car.

"Buddy, you can't park here; your police car can't be here either, just shift it a bit."

Xu Mo glanced at the traffic officer, then looked at the police car.

He shook his head: "Not moving."

The traffic officer clearly froze for a moment.

Not moving?

Even brother departments can't be this overbearing!

Come to think of it, this traffic officer was quite knowledgeable.

Police cars indeed have the privilege of parking roadside at will without penalty.

But that comes with conditions.

When performing official duties, they can avoid tickets.

However, during official duty, the police car should turn on the siren or police lights, and at the very least flash both lights.

Otherwise, even a police car violating the law must be treated the same.

The police car before them.

Siren, police lights, double flash—none were on.

Clearly it wasn't out on official duty.

But to confirm, the traffic officer still asked.

"Buddy, are you out on a mission?"

"No," Xu Mo shook his head.

Hearing that, the traffic officer became a bit annoyed.

Not on official duty yet parking the car roadside?

Brazenly, under this officer's gaze, he parked the car directly in front of the camera!?

And he was damn audacious about it!

Brother departments can't be this reckless!

"If you're not on a mission, move it a bit, cooperate with the work; there's a camera over there recording, it'll deduct points."

Xu Mo thought, if there were no camera, I would still not move.

I parked here just to face that camera.

Parking under the camera, isn't that to make it easier for that officer to find the car?

"I'll just stay here, it's fine; this spot is more visible, deductions or fines don't matter," Xu Mo said with a smile.

Zhou Qiaoqiao: "……"

Yang Jingxuan: "……"

The two of them knew.

Xu Mo said deductions and fines were no problem.

Because the car wasn't his!

Since it wasn't his car, of course he felt it didn't matter.

Anyway, he wouldn't be the one paying any deductions or fines.

But the two of them knew, and only they knew.

This traffic officer didn't know.

From his perspective.

Xu Mo completely disregarded him.

He ignored the traffic rules!

Seeing Xu Mo's smiling face, the traffic officer's heart instantly ignited with a nameless anger.

What?

Because the officer is more badass than us traffic police?

Suppressing his inner fury, he pointed at the police car parked by the road.

He gave Xu Mo an ultimatum.

"I'll ask you again: will you move the car or not?"

He was shouted at.

Xu Mo also got angry.

"Not moving, so what?"

"Fine, fine… okay!" the traffic officer pulled out his phone: "I'm short‑tempered, I really can't tolerate you."

"Are you sure you won't move? If you don't move, I'll find someone to move it, I'll tow the car back to the station. I'm telling you, when not on official duty, police cars are treated the same as other vehicles! I want to see how arrogant you really are."

Under normal circumstances, traffic officers act like this; no matter who is involved, they'll soften.

This traffic officer clearly thought of that.

So he deliberately slowed his phone call.

He thought, as long as Xu Mo agrees to move the car, he'll turn a blind eye and let it pass.

After Xu Mo finishes moving the car, he tells Xu Mo the road rules again.

Who would think Xu Mo has absolutely no intention of moving the car.

Instead, he just shrugged.

"Fine, you go drag it into the line."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Traffic police officer: "???".

Tow the car! Today we must tow it; we can't spoil him!

No matter who comes, it's damn useless!

This car, he'll definitely tow it!
