"Damn, it turned out to be just a water gun!"
"It was practically a false alarm."
"This Xu Mo guy really knows how to play tricks. He has made fun of the program team, the investigation team, and even us!"
"Awesome!"
"This guy is definitely not just messing around. He's doing this with a purpose. Didn't you see that Yang Jingxuan was so scared that she took the tray and ran out of the studio?"
"And you're telling me this guy is just an office worker?"
"Am I the only one who finds the scene of Xu Mo spraying water at Yang Jingxuan's cute little face a bit naughty?"
"..."
After the initial shock, the fans in the live stream room quickly reacted.
Everyone felt that Xu Mo was a bit unusual.
Compared to the previous two challengers, he was on a completely different level.
The two previous challengers only found out about the existence of the program team after being caught by the investigation team.
But this Xu Mo,
Not long after the live stream started, he was able to extract information about the existence of the program team using his own methods.
The difference was huge!
But what did Xu Mo mean by what he just said?
What did he mean when he said "From now on, you have been kidnapped"?
Could it be...
The fans in the live stream room made all kinds of wild guesses.
"This Xu Mo guy is crazy!"
"Is he really going to pretend it's real?"
"My god, isn't he just asking to get himself killed?"
"This is so thrilling! Haha, Yang Jingxuan has really gotten herself into it now. A fake kidnapping has become a real one. The program team must be dumbfounded too."
"I don't know why, but I suddenly want to see the challenger win for once."
"Don't you think it would be even more interesting if the challenger wins this round?"
"Stop kidding around. Even if this Xu Mo really has some skills, he'd still have to kneel before the powerful investigation team lineup."
"I also think it would be difficult. No matter how cunning he is, it's useless against these professionals."
...
In the studio.
The program team was indeed dumbfounded.
Chief Director Song Yixue went from being worried about Yang Jingxuan's safety at first, to being stunned upon seeing it was just a water gun.
She had to admit that Xu Mo's performance so far had been quite spectacular.
Even for an experienced director like her who had seen all kinds of twists and turns,
At this moment, she couldn't help but applaud Xu Mo's performance to herself.
But now, the problem was, this Xu Mo guy must be crazy, right?
How could he dare say something like that?
Did he not realize this was being live streamed?
Could he really think he could escape the investigation team's pursuit?
Song Yixue was very clear on the investigation team's capabilities. With such a powerful lineup, dealing with ordinary criminals, even cunning masterminds, would be no problem.
But she had a feeling that the dynamics of the show had changed.
Xu Mo had gone from a lab rat to the one controlling this game.
It was as if they had been played by this guy?
...
On the other side.
Live Channel 2 of the investigation team.
"What? The thing in Xu Mo's hand was just a water gun?"
"He already knows about the existence of the program team?"
"Not only that, knowing about the program team's existence, he has unilaterally declared that from now on, Yang Jingxuan has been kidnapped!"
The investigation team members quickly received the news as well.
"This guy..." Chen Ke of the elite pursuit unit laughed, "Seems a bit different from what we expected."
"Interesting," Li Chen with the eagle eyes said with a smile. "Is he provoking us?"
"For a normal 9 to 5 office worker, this kind of performance is quite unexpected," criminal psychology expert Shen Manni said. "It appears our opponent is not as simple as the previous two challengers."
"What, no longer confident about breaking the record?" asked former criminal investigation team leader Han Fei jokingly.
Shen Manni flicked a strand of hair by her ear and said, "Of course I'm still confident. It was just a trick."
They could not watch the live stream.
But from the information obtained, it was not difficult to guess Xu Mo's actions at the time.
"We need to take action. No matter if Xu Mo's words were real or fake, we have to catch him!"
Han Fei stood up.
"Indeed, it's time to act," Li Chen echoed.
"Right now, our top priority is to determine Xu Mo's location. From the information we have, both Xu Mo's home address and company are listed. Earlier when we first heard Xu Mo remove the camera, he was in his car. It now appears he has found a place to interrogate Yang Jingxuan," analyzed Chen Ke.
"No need to determine anymore. Xu Mo should be at his home now," Shen Manni said directly.
Chen Ke looked at her, "Why do you say that?"
"Firstly, the time between when Xu Mo discovered the camera in his car and when we received the news he had a gun was very short. Within such a short time span, he could not have driven very far, not to mention there was heavy traffic congestion on Guangzhou Avenue during that time period. And Xu Mo's rental place happens to match that timeframe and location."
"Secondly, there was a kidnapped female celebrity in Xu Mo's car. For most people, having such an unstable element that could make noise from the trunk at any time for a long drive is not a wise choice."
"Moreover, everyone has a psychological comfort zone. If you were suddenly wanted for no reason, would you bring the female star back home to interrogate her, or go to a hotel?"
"Clearly, choosing a hotel was impossible. Due to the traffic jams, Xu Mo also obviously could not stand to drive out of the city for that long. So going back to his rented room was the most convenient, hassle-free, discreet, and likely option."
Shen Manni had just finished speaking when the other investigation team members nodded in agreement, feeling her analysis made sense.
In fact, Han Fei had come to the same conclusion.
"Alright, next we'll directly raid Xu Mo's home."
...
Tongdong, Garden community.
"You... what do you mean?"
Yang Jingxuan, her long legs frightened soft, sat on the floor looking somewhat disheveled as she asked.
"It means exactly what it sounds like. Can't you understand human speech?" Xu Mo casually tossed aside the water gun in his hand.
"I've been kidnapped by you?" Yang Jingxuan was dumbfounded, seemingly unable to believe it.
"Haven't you been kidnapped by me all along?" Xu Mo chuckled lightly.
Yang Jingxuan was completely baffled. She had to explain, "Bro, my good bro, didn't I already tell you everything is fake, fake..."
"Shut up. Any more nonsense and I'll stuff your mouth with a toilet plunger," Xu Mo threw down a line as he walked towards the bathroom.
"I..."
Yang Jingxuan felt she was going crazy. She had wanted to say something more but upon seeing Xu Mo actually head towards the bathroom, could he really be getting a toilet plunger to stuff her mouth?
The cleanliness-obsessed her certainly could not stand that. She quickly shut her mouth.
As for Xu Mo, was he really going to stuff the celebrity's mouth with a toilet plunger?
No.
It was because a "choose one out of two rewards" had appeared in his mind.
"You have successfully fooled the program team and investigators and obtained one 'Choose 1 out of 2 Rewards'!"
