At this time, the news of the fire at the exhibition was almost certainly false.
Because Xu Mo had appeared.
A fire and the like was definitely some trick Xu Mo was playing.
One should know this when thinking about it.
Xu Mo was definitely trying to use this excuse to get everyone out in order to easily steal the gemstones.
With this in mind, Gao Liming and his group of four entered the doors of the exhibition hall.
And conveniently locked the doors behind them, preparing to capture Xu Mo like a turtle in a jar.
At this time, the four were even imagining the scene when they captured Xu Mo with their own hands.
The more they thought about it, the more excited the four became.
After all, being able to catch this bastard with their own hands would allow them to brag for a very long time!
However, when they locked the doors and prepared to go in and catch Xu Mo,
the observant Gao Liming noticed a problem.
He clearly saw that the display case closest to him had been opened!
The exhibits that should have been inside were also missing.
In that moment, Gao Liming only felt his head buzzing.
Xu Mo had opened the display case??
Wang Hao noticed Gao Liming's expression was a bit off.
He subconsciously thought Gao Liming was a bit worried Xu Mo would violently lash out when driven to desperation.
So he reached out and patted Gao Liming's shoulder twice.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here. There won't be any danger. Don't even talk about Xu Mo being a fake fugitive. Even if he was a real fugitive, he still wouldn't be able to make much waves."
Speaking to this point, Wang Hao smiled and waved his fist.
"He's just an ordinary person. I can easily take care of ten of him."
Gao Liming shook his head.
He didn't even look at Wang Hao.
But stared fixedly at the display case in front: "No, this display case has been opened... Xu Mo opened the display case and stole what was inside!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining three looked in the direction Gao Liming was staring.
Just like Gao Liming said.
The display case closest to the four was wide open.
The treasures inside were also missing.
That's not all.
Right after, Gao Liming discovered that it wasn't just this one display case that had been opened.
The display cases near it had also been opened, and the treasures originally inside were gone...
He ran to the other display cases with a dumbfounded look on his face, preparing to take a look at their situation.
The third display case, empty.
The fourth, also empty.
The fifth, still empty.
...
All of the display cases in the exhibition hall were open without exception, and all of the treasures were gone.
"Damn!" Upon finding all this out Gao Liming grabbed his hair with both hands, eyes wide open, with an unbelieving expression on his face.
All of the treasures in the entire exhibition hall had been completely looted by Xu Mo!
But he really couldn't figure out.
How Xu Mo accomplished all this?
The locks on the display cases all had high security factors. How did Xu Mo open them?
Could it be that Xu Mo was also a lock picking expert??
"I'm really f**king haunted..." said Zhao Tianyi in a daze: "Xu Mo can even pick locks? He could even open the display case locks? This guy can't really be a secret agent right? How does he know how to do everything?!"
At this time, the four were completely numb.
In order to prevent Xu Mo from stealing the gemstones.
They had considered Xu Mo's hacking skills, and specially set up a closed-circuit monitoring system with no blind spots to monitor every corner of the exhibition hall.
They had also learned from Xu Mo's bank robbery methods, and set up a security screening system. With the security system, not to mention fake bombs, even an eyebrow razor Xu Mo wouldn't be able to bring in.
It was also impossible for Xu Mo to use hostages to achieve the goal of robbing gemstones.
They had even found a large number of professional security guards to guard the exhibition hall around the clock.
But who would have thought.
This guy actually knew how to pick locks!
Moreover, it wasn't just picking ordinary locks. He had actually opened the electronic locks on the display cases...
Who the hell did he learn this lock picking skill from?
After being stunned for a few seconds.
Gao Liming suddenly thought of an even more terrifying point.
"If Xu Mo can even open the locks on the display cases, then aren't the locked doors in the exhibition hall meaningless to him?"
Hearing these words, the other three also involuntarily swallowed.
Theoretically speaking, that was the case.
They had been held up outside for too long earlier.
Who knows if after stealing all these things Xu Mo had already swaggered out the back door and left!
Of course, no matter the situation, the four still decided to go take a look.
What if Xu Mo hadn't had time to escape yet?
The four arrived at the emergency escape route door in the fastest speed.
As expected, the emergency escape door was wide open.
It looked like after looting the exhibition hall, Xu Mo had likely already fled in defeat.
"Now what? Chase after him?", Zhang Wenrui asked with a bitter face.
Zhao Tianyi ridiculed him: "Chase my a*s. Do you know which direction he ran off to after going out?"
They had originally thought this would be their complete victory.
Who would've thought they would lose so badly they didn't even have their underwear left.
Not only were they unable to catch Xu Mo.
They had instead let this guy loot everything in the exhibition hall before swaggering out the back door!
At this moment, Gao Liming's brain was running at high speed.
He thought of two key points.
"We haven't lost yet, there's still a chance..."
After quickly straightening out his thoughts, Gao Liming continued.
"Xu Mo's accomplices are still in our hands. He should come back to rescue them. And also, the gemstones Xu Mo stole were the ones in the display cases. As for the real gemstones, they're still in the safe in the monitoring room. Xu Mo probably doesn't know about this."
"If he hasn't stolen the real gemstones, then his mission isn't considered complete. Xu Mo will eventually discover the gemstones are fake. He will definitely come back to steal the real gemstones, and rescue his companions at the same time!"
Right after he finished talking, Wang Hao followed up.
"If that's the case, we need to protect the real gemstones, and also control Xu Mo's four accomplices. These are the two key points for our comeback."
Gao Liming nodded: "Right! The gemstones can't stay in the safe anymore. After all, Xu Mo can pick locks. He could even open the display cases. I reckon the safe wouldn't pose too much difficulty for him either."
Speaking to here, he took the lead walking towards the monitoring room, preparing to take out the real gemstones.
Monitoring room.
Although there were no lights, with the aid of the emergency lights outside, one could vaguely see that the safe door had not been opened.
This was different from the display cases in the exhibition hall outside.
It showed that Xu Mo did not know there was a safe here.
He had just looted the treasures in the exhibition hall before leaving.
So the real gemstones were still safe!
Seeing this scene, the four let out a deep breath.
Taking advantage of the weak light from the emergency lights outside, they entered the monitoring room and came up to the safe.
Zhang Wenrui stepped forward and used the key along with the password to open the safe door...
But just as he opened the safe door...
"Hey hey, eat my stick!", came a voice from within the safe.
Caught unprepared, the four couldn't help but shudder in fright.
The gemstones had been stolen too!
"Damn...", Zhang Wenrui couldn't help but curse out loud.
He subconsciously wanted to slam the safe door shut in anger.
But he discovered that his hand seemed to be stuck onto the safe door by something, and he couldn't shake it off no matter how hard he tried...

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.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
