When the water friends in the live streaming room saw this, they were all stunned.
"Unplugging the internet??? There's this kind of play too?"
"Xu Mo probably never dreamed that the investigation team would be able to come up with such a nasty trick."
"Isn't the investigation team's move too shady?!"
"The investigation team's shady? Brothers, if the investigation team's moves were half as shady as Xu Mo's, they would have caught Xu Mo long ago."
"That's right, I don't think this counts as shady. If you can't beat unplugging the internet, this makes perfect sense!"
...
There was no denying that the method Chen Ke came up with was indeed very good.
Quick and effective, and very simple to implement as well.
After saying a word to Wu Ya, Han Fei hung up the phone.
Then he immediately made a call to Director Wang.
As soon as the call connected, Han Fei got straight to the point: "Old Wang, I need you to do me a favor right now and unplug the internet for Building 12 in Section C of Yunqi Rose Garden!"
Han Fei was preparing to do a precise internet disconnection.
Only cutting off the internet for Building 12 in Section C of Yunqi Rose Garden.
This would mess up the alert program Xu Mo had written, while not affecting the other residents of Yunqi Rose Garden.
Although Director Wang was confused after hearing Han Fei's words on the phone, he didn't ask further.
Because he knew his old friend very well.
He knew that Han Fei must have his own ideas for doing this.
So he readily agreed.
"Alright, I'll let the internet service provider know. Let me confirm again, it's Building 12 in Section C of Yunqi Rose Garden, right?"
"That's right! And do it quickly if possible."
"Got it."
After hanging up, Director Wang didn't delay at all and immediately called the internet service provider.
Asking them to unplug the internet for Building 12 in Section C of Yunqi Rose Garden.
...
At this time, in Yunqi Rose Garden, Xu Mo was making the final preparations before going to steal the gem from the exhibition.
"Did you remember everything I just said?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao, Yang Jingxuan, An Youyi, and Li Jiaxin all nodded.
Saying in unison: "Remembered it all!"
"Then good, wait 10 minutes for me. We'll head out after 10 minutes," said Xu Mo.
Because the five of them had just returned from the exhibition not long ago.
So they were still in the disguises they had used to sneak into the exhibition before.
Xu Mo was going to disguise himself once more before heading out.
He had used the rich playboy look to get into the exhibition earlier, in order to better scout out the security arrangements.
But now that they were about to take action, he couldn't be so conspicuous.
What Xu Mo needed now was the kind of average face that no one would notice even if he was standing in a crowd, not even glancing at him a second time.
Xu Mo took off the big gold chains, removed his coat, and peeled off the human skin mask on his face.
Seeing this, the four were somewhat puzzled.
"Xu Mo, what are you doing? Aren't you going to disguise yourself?"
"Wouldn't we be discovered if we went in without disguises? There are still the four people the show arranged to protect the gems at the exhibition. They would definitely recognize you."
"I guess the four people at the exhibition also showed your photo to the security guards. It wouldn't be good if you went in without a disguise, right..."
Xu Mo smiled: "How could I not disguise myself? Of course I'll be in disguise. I'm just going to take on a different look."
"Oh, trying to avoid suspicion from the security guards huh," said Yang Jingxuan. "It is a bit suspicious for us to go in twice in a short period of time."
"It's not you guys, it's me," Xu Mo shook his head.
Then he pointed to the big gold chains and human skin mask he had taken off and thrown to the side.
"This rich playboy look is too conspicuous and eye-catching. And after the scene I caused in there earlier, security must remember what I look like now too. If I went in with the same look again, I would definitely be a prime target for security."
"Also, if the gem just happened to go missing at this time, who do you think security would suspect first, me or someone else? It wouldn't be easy for me to slip away if I was a prime suspect."
"What I need now is an average face that no one would notice even if thrown into a crowd," Xu Mo explained, while continuing to disguise himself at the same time.
An Youyi seemed to somewhat understand and nodded, then asked:
"What about us then? Do we need disguises too?"
Xu Mo shook his head: "You guys don't need to. Security didn't notice you before."
What the five didn't know was that the investigation team had already entered Yunqi Rose Garden.
And was approaching the villa An Youyi was staying in.
As for the alert program Xu Mo had written, it hadn't sounded any alarms either.
Because the internet here was unplugged.
Unplugging the internet was an extremely brutal yet effective method.
Once unplugged, no matter how awesome a hacker you were, you wouldn't be able to make any waves.
...
After the investigation team of four showed their IDs to the security guard at the entrance and were let in.
They rushed at top speed towards Building 12 in Section C, where Xu Mo was hiding out.
Chen Ke had an extremely excited expression on his face.
"Damn it, he's finally fallen into my hands this time! Watch how I beat you later!"
He had been waiting for this day for a long time already.
Finally having a chance to show off his martial arts skills and give this little bastard Xu Mo a good beating.
Unlike Chen Ke, Han Fei was unusually calm.
Not only was he not excited, he even had an ominous premonition, with his right eyelid jumping nonstop.
Han Fei suddenly recalled something.
Among the helpers the show had arranged for Xu Mo, there was a girl named Li Jiaxin.
All the introduction the show gave about her was six words: "Mixed-race, martial arts expert."
It was those four words "martial arts expert" that made Han Fei extremely uneasy.
He looked toward Chen Ke.
"I remember Xu Mo has a martial arts expert called Li Jiaxin with him, do you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ke interrupted him.
"Captain Han, don't underestimate people! If you say stuff like this...are you implying that I'd be inferior to a little girl? I didn't practice freestyle wrestling and grappling techniques for nothing."
Seeing Chen Ke's somewhat excessive reaction, Han Fei quickly explained:
"I didn't mean to underestimate you, I just have a kind of bad premonition."
"Aiya, with me here, Captain Han, you can set your mind at 120% ease," Chen Ke laughed. "What kind of expert could a little girl possibly be? At most she knows some self defense techniques for women. Those are all flashy moves. With one hand tied I could still take care of her."
After a pause, Chen Ke added one more sentence.
"I'll restrain myself of course. As soon as I've controlled her I'll immediately stop attacking. I absolutely won't injure the lady comrade. And if possible, I'd rather not make a move to begin with. We aren't the kind of people who hit women."
He said this last bit mainly for the water friends in the livestreaming room to hear.
Worried that they would pin him with the label of someone who beats women because of what he said earlier.
While they were talking, the four of them arrived at Xu Mo's hiding spot, the entrance of Building 12, Section C...

Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
