Got Played by Schomer Again

Police Station.

Han Fei took out his phone and looked at the message he had just received.

He showed it to Director Wang.

"Director Wang, this is Xu Mo's plan for the next step. Take a look."

Although at first, Han Fei thought Xu Mo was not capable of completing such a plan, he even believed that this plan was meant to mislead them.

But when he received a call from Director Wang and learned that Xu Mo indeed had the ability to infiltrate the bank's security system, he realized that Xu Mo's plan might not be a deception.

Xu Mo really intended to do it.

After Director Wang finished reading Xu Mo's plan, he looked at Han Fei.

"The wolf is coming... So, Xu Mo's false alarm is meant to mislead us and make us think that his target is the bank?"

"That's right," Han Fei nodded. "He's using a diversionary tactic, making us believe that he is really planning to rob the bank, thereby increasing the bank's defenses. Then, when the police focus all their attention on the bank, he will seize the armored car."

"According to Xu Mo's plan, will he make another false alarm later?" Director Wang asked.

Han Fei nodded.

From the plan, it was evident that Xu Mo intended to do so.

Repeated false alarms will definitely mislead the police.

They will think that the wolf is really coming.

So instead of relaxing, they will increase their vigilance.

At this moment, Shen Manni, an expert in criminal psychology, couldn't help but reevaluate Xu Mo.

"This Xu Mo is really cunning. If it weren't for the informant from the production crew this time, we would have fallen into Xu Mo's trap."

"Forget about that," Li Chen smiled and said, "All I know is that Xu Mo's plan has failed this time. We know his plan completely. Can he still escape?"

Director Wang nodded.

"Since he wants to rob the armored car, let's focus most of our attention on the car. Give him no way out. I will arrange plainclothes officers along the route of the armored car. As long as Xu Mo dares to approach, we will apprehend him on the spot!"

"But we still need to pay attention to the bank. Even if we know it might be a trick, we still have to respond to the alarm. We can't solely focus on the armored car," Han Fei added.

"I know that," Director Wang said. "We have to respond to the bank's alarm, even if we suspect it might be a deception. What if there are actual criminals taking advantage of the situation? Also, we need to continue playing along with Xu Mo, otherwise, he might sense that something is wrong."

Han Fei also nodded.

"Alright, that's the plan. We have already informed the personnel involved in the armored car escort. When the armored car goes out tomorrow, we will be with them and coordinate with the police. We will definitely apprehend Xu Mo."

In just a few words, they had come up with a simple strategy.

They planned to focus most of their attention on the armored car.

Of course, they still needed to be vigilant about the bank.

Once they received an alarm call, the police would respond as quickly as possible.

Even if they knew there might be a problem, they would still go.

After all, no one can say for sure whether there are criminals who would choose to target banks at this time.

But little did they know.

Everything was part of Xu Mo's plan.

It was a scheme within a scheme.

Xu Mo knew that by announcing his intention to rob an armored cash transport vehicle, he was counting on the program team's reluctance to allocate funds, thus alerting the pursuit team.

And the crucial point is this.

This plan, the "Boy Who Cried Wolf," truly reflected Xu Mo's style.

The pursuit team was all too familiar with his diversionary tactics.

They had just suffered a setback not long ago.

It was when Xu Mo used a diversionary tactic that he managed to rescue Zhou Qiaoqiao from the detention center.

Once is enough for such a setback.

They couldn't afford to be fooled again!

Just as they finished discussing strategies to deal with Xu Mo.

A knock came at Director Wang's office door.

"Come in," Director Wang said.

The next second, a police officer walked in.

With a wry smile, he spoke up.

"Director Wang, before your seat even had a chance to warm up, we received another alarm from the bank. I just checked the bank's surveillance footage, and everything seems normal. Should we respond to this...?"

Before he could finish his sentence.

Director Wang's face turned serious.

"Are you asking whether we should respond or not? Just because there might be deception, does that mean we can ignore the alarm? What if there are indeed criminals trying to take advantage of this opportunity? What does the fact that the bank's surveillance is normal prove? Can't the bank's surveillance be tampered with?"

Upon hearing this, the police officer nodded, "I understand! I'll mobilize the team and head out."

...

This time, the police officer came back empty-handed.

They had fallen for Xu Mo's trick once again.

One of the police officers.

Was so frustrated that he couldn't bear it.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm damn well staying right outside the bank! You guys can go back. If we receive another alarm, just give me a call. I'll take a quick look, and if everything is fine, you don't have to come."

He decided to stand right outside the bank.

That way, when they received another alarm.

They wouldn't have to bother everyone and make another trip.

Just a quick glance inside the bank would tell them if anyone was attempting a bank robbery.

Xu Mo, through the surveillance outside the bank.

Saw this police officer in uniform, standing resolute.

"Is he just planning to stand there and not leave? Is he intending to confront us head-on?" Zhou Qiaoqiao said.

Xu Mo smiled.

"Let him be. If he wants to stand, let him stand. Besides, I don't plan on continuing the test today."

Yang Jingxuan looked at Xu Mo with some confusion.

"No more testing? Why?"

Xu Mo pointed to the time on the computer. "It's time. The bank is closing, the tellers have left. At this hour, can the panic button still be pressed by a ghost?"

...

The police officer standing outside the bank entrance.

Watched as the bank staff left one by one.

He felt a bit confused.

Suddenly, he realized that his decision to stay and confront the situation at the bank at this time might not have been well thought out.

The bank was closed, the doors were tightly shut, and there was no one inside.

What significance could it have for him to stay outside the door?

Considering the timing of the alarm they received, it should have been clear that it wasn't pressed by a bank teller.

And he didn't believe that any robbers would be foolish enough to attempt a bank heist after the bank had closed its doors.

Nobody left in the bank, so what's there to rob?

The money is all in the vault, with no staff around. Does that robber have the ability to open the bank vault?

Sitting at the bank entrance, he smoked in silence for a while.

The police officer left cursing and grumbling.

...

Nightfall.

A guesthouse.

If we talk about the hardware facilities of this guesthouse, they're really not great.

The soundproofing is simply terrible.

Especially at night.

During the day, the problem of poor soundproofing in the guesthouse doesn't become apparent due to the noise.

But as soon as night falls and it becomes quiet.

The poor soundproofing of the guesthouse is fully revealed.

The sound of the couple next door.

Through the walls, it reached Xu Mo and the others' ears.

"Darling, I'm here!"

"...Did you come in?"

"?? I'm already done!"

Xu Mo: "..."

Zhou Qiaoqiao: "..."

Yang Jingxuan: "..."

Through the wall, they could all feel the awkwardness of the guy next door.
