Of course, it wasn't solely because of Xu Mo's words that the receptionist decided to have the security guards drive away the group of people at the hotel entrance.
Rather, it was because she had noticed a long time ago that the behavior of those few individuals outside the hotel was very strange.
They had been squatting at the entrance for a considerable amount of time!
She had found it odd just a while ago.
Now, combining Xu Mo's words with her observations, she immediately concluded that those individuals at the entrance were up to no good.
The receptionist picked up a walkie-talkie and called several security guards.
Yang Jingxuan, full of doubts, leaned closer to Xu Mo and quietly asked, "What did you say to those guys?"
"I told them that you're a female celebrity and they have malicious intentions... and then the receptionist said she would immediately have the security guards drive them away from the entrance," Xu Mo explained.
This time, Xu Mo didn't tell a single lie.
Yang Jingxuan was indeed a female celebrity.
And it was true that the investigation team had intentions to harm them.
All the words were true.
But when put together, it became quite intriguing.
The viewers in the live streaming room were dumbfounded by this scene.
"Hahaha! Since when has an investigation team in our country been subjected to such humiliation?"
"This is hilarious! They can't even have a meal at the hotel entrance without being chased away by security guards. How pitiful."
"Suddenly, I feel a bit sympathetic towards the investigation team. What's going on?"
"I really admire Xu Mo's cunning. He's so full of mischief!"
"..."
At the hotel entrance,
The four members of the investigation team were sitting on the steps, eating their boxed lunches.
Suddenly, several burly men in uniforms surrounded them.
While gesturing and speaking in a language that sounded like gibberish to Han Fei and the others, they waved their hands.
Han Fei didn't even need to use a translator. Just by observing the security guards' body language, he could roughly understand their intentions.
"We might be inconveniencing others. Let's move aside a bit," he said, standing up and shifting a little to the side.
Little did he know that even though they made a concession, the security guards still wore a relentless look.
They continued to wave their hands, gesturing for Han Fei and the others to leave quickly.
They had moved aside without hesitation earlier because their previous location could indeed have disrupted the hotel's business.
But now, they were completely away from the hotel entrance.
There was no question of disrupting the hotel's business anymore.
It was unreasonable for the security guards to keep waving their hands and asking them to leave.
Han Fei took out the translator, preparing to argue with the security guards.
And then, the next second,
He suddenly saw five familiar figures walking out of the hotel.
"Xu Mo!"
"We finally caught up to you," Chen Ke muttered to himself at this moment.
Only they knew how much they yearned to catch Xu Mo themselves.
So, their emotions instantly became excited.
However, the security guards didn't fulfill their wish.
Taking advantage of their numerical advantage, they directly blocked their way.
Before coming out, the receptionist had already instructed the security guards.
Those people at the entrance were not good people, and they must not be allowed to approach the hotel guests!
Upon hearing Han Fei calling his name,
Xu Mo, who had just walked out of the hotel's main entrance, turned around and made a gesture with his hands, as if he could almost write the words "What can you do to me" on his face.
Zhou Qiaoqiao, Yang Jingxuan, An Youyi, and Li Jiaxin all made funny faces at Han Fei.
They deliberately chose this moment to come out, clearly intending to provoke.
They didn't even need Xu Mo to take action.
The hotel security would stop the four of them from pursuing the investigation team.
Seeing Xu Mo's reaction, Han Fei understood.
No wonder these security guards were relentless.
It turned out that Xu Mo was behind it all!
Without wasting any more time at the hotel entrance, Xu Mo spoke up.
"Let's go, let's have a meal and check the traffic conditions during peak hours. We'll go to the museum tomorrow for a reconnaissance."
Seeing Xu Mo leave, Chen Ke couldn't contain his frustration.
"Captain Han, Xu Mo wants to leave. Should we... take action? I'm confident I can handle these security guards."
Watching Xu Mo leave helplessly felt really frustrating.
Chen Ke even had the urge to confront those security guards.
To be honest, Han Fei also had such thoughts.
If Chen Ke said he could take down these security guards alone, Han Fei believed him.
But reason told him that getting into a fight with these security guards would only make things worse.
What if they ended up getting detained for a few days because of the brawl...
It wouldn't be worth it!
"Don't stir up trouble. Let's step back and follow them after the security guards leave."
Saying that, Han Fei slowly stepped back.
Shen Manyi, Chen Ke, and Li Chen also followed suit.
Seeing that the hotel guests had already left and these four people had no intention of continuing to tail them, the hotel security relaxed their vigilance.
They simply turned and went back to the hotel.
They only cared about the hotel entrance and what was happening inside the hotel.
As for whether Xu Mo and the others would be followed by these people after leaving the hotel, that had nothing to do with the hotel security.
After all, they were not private bodyguards, let alone the police.
Once the meddling security guards returned to the hotel.
The four members of the investigation team immediately followed in the direction Xu Mo had left.
Thanks to the system rewards.
Xu Mo was very familiar with the various roads here.
And because of Xu Mo's familiarity, the investigation team was completely unfamiliar.
Plus, by the time they caught up, Xu Mo had already walked a distance.
So the investigation team didn't chase for long before losing track.
Xu Mo's figure completely disappeared among the crowd.
...
Just as they had shaken off the four members of the investigation team under Xu Mo's lead, Zhou Qiaoqiao asked.
"We've been discovered. Should we change to another hotel?"
"No need to bother about them," Xu Mo shook his head. "They are unfamiliar with this place. They'll get confused after a couple of turns, and besides, this is not their home country. They have no advantages here and pose no significant threat."
While shaking off the investigation team, Xu Mo also took the opportunity to observe the traffic flow, pedestrian flow, surveillance camera positions, and traffic light timings in the vicinity of the hotel.
These were all crucial pieces of information.
Coupled with the map in Xu Mo's mind.
It was not only effective in dealing with the investigation team but also with the police in Sakura Country.
Knowing this information would make it easier for Xu Mo to shake off pursuers the next time a similar situation arose, making it a breeze.

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

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.

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
