A few minutes ago.
Around the trash cans at the Wanda Plaza side.
Han Fei and other police officers were keeping a close eye on the movements around the trash cans.
There had already been several people who kept probing around.
These people were obviously brought in by Xu Mo to confuse the situation.
Of course Han Fei and others decisively arrested these people and interrogated Xu Mo's whereabouts.
But what was very strange was that these people kept saying very firmly, "Impossible, I definitely won't say!"
"Hmm, don't think I'll tell you anything."
"Do you think such a simple interrogation will make me reveal key information? Get that idea out of your head!"
"We agreed beforehand that we would never betray each other!"
"Ridiculous! I won't say anything!"
And other such words.
Their expressions were so firm that it looked very unnatural, with a special performative quality.
But Shen Man'ni was not here now, and these guys were just repeating those few lines over and over.
It left people completely puzzled.
No one on the scene could figure out what was going on either.
They were also very confused about where Xu Mo had found so many people who didn't seem quite normal.
Why were they all saying such silly, embarrassing lines?
What was this guy up to again?
And while they were interrogating this group of chuunibyou criminals.
A man in a suit, about the same height as Xu Mo, with his head lowered so his features were obscured in the dim light, suddenly appeared next to the trash can, as if he was going to throw something away.
He was seen taking out a tissue from his pocket and casually throwing it into the trash can.
Just as the plainclothes officers relaxed their vigilance,
the next moment, the man in the suit suddenly leaned his body forward into the trash can.
Moving extremely quickly, he took out a black duffel bag from inside the trash can.
Then he turned and ran.
His speed was astonishingly fast.
His actions were extremely smooth and continuous.
This unexpected turn of events caught the weary police officers, who had been constantly harassed, completely off guard.
By the time they reacted, the man had already ran several dozen meters.
"Stop!"
"Bastard! This one is real!"
"Quick, chase him! We can't let him get away!!"
Damn it!
The police officers wanted to curse.
This guy's actions were just too sudden.
And he had just brazenly grabbed the duffel bag and ran right in front of them.
Did he really think these police officers were pushovers?
These officers had been teased all afternoon.
And the people they caught acted like idiots.
This left them filled with pent-up anger.
They desperately chased after the man.
The man in the suit seemed to be running for his life, sprinting with all his might.
He ran through the crowd, directly into a small alley filled with a human tide.
This was a street filled with food stalls.
There was a huge crowd.
And it was very chaotic.
He ran ahead, bumping into people and knocking the snacks out of their hands.
Behind him were a group of police officers in pursuit.
Because of the large crowd, they were unable to catch up to him for the moment.
The officers could only keep up based on speed, their eyes fixed closely on the man in the suit.
"Don't run!"
"We're police officers! Help us catch that guy!"
"That guy is a wanted criminal!"
Things were fine until they said that last sentence.
Upon hearing it, people began keeping their distance from the man running in front.
Seriously.
A wanted criminal?
One being chased by the police at that.
If desperate, he might take someone hostage, which would be dangerous.
What if he had a concealed weapon?
Everyone adopted an attitude of minding their own business.
As a result, the man in the suit had an even easier time running.
Although some brawny men wanted to be good samaritans, the man in the suit was just too fast.
The officers nearly lost their breath.
That last sentence had inadvertently helped the man get away instead.
They could only watch as he ran farther and farther.
The officers were practically apoplectic.
But at this moment, Han Fei stopped in his tracks.
Watching the direction the man in the suit had ran, he let out a composed sigh.
"Phew, don't worry, no need to chase him. I made preparations early on."
"Don't look down on us, Xu Mo."
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He then took out his walkie-talkie.
"Group C, target has gone towards the end of the food street."
"Close the net!"
Upon hearing Han Fei's voice, the plainclothes officers around him also stopped.
Then they looked towards the direction the man in the suit had ran, faces filled with admiration.
"Boss Han really lives up to being the former captain of the Criminal Investigation Division!"
"That experience is truly profound."
"So Captain Han already knew earlier that Xu Mo would run that way.
Chen Ke walked over at this time and slapped Han Fei on the shoulder with a laugh. "When did you set up this plan without me knowing?"
Han Fei said, "It was just a trap I casually set up."
"After Xu Mo had us put the duffel bag by that trash can, looking at the terrain here, I realized the food street was very close."
"Then considering how the food street starts getting crowded at 6pm after the Wanda Plaza closes..."
"I roughly knew what his plan was."
"So I had another squad dispatched there early. Didn't expect it to come in useful now."
Chen Ke nodded profusely in admiration. "As expected of you!"
"It still takes an experienced criminal captain with keen foresight and vision ahead of the curve. You even fooled us youngsters."
Han Fei waved his hand dismissively, "Come on, that was all in the past. I just have some experience now."
"Speaking of which, this Xu Mo really is cunning, and his actions are very quick."
"This whole operation nearly allowed him to run off with the money."
The livestream viewers sighed in amazement.
Many were exceptionally excited.
"This was practically like watching a blockbuster!"
"Right, it was like watching a cops and robbers blockbuster!"
"It really was like watching the gods fight!"
"Seriously, this afternoon's operation left me dumbfounded."
"Xu Mo really has some skills."
"But in the end Han Fei still prevailed with superior skills."
"Yes, evil cannot overcome good after all. He is a professional criminal captain, after all."
"How many criminals has Captain Han Fei caught over the years? He is clearly no simple character."
"What a pity, it's over already."
"Sigh, it was so exciting, wish there was more."
The audience lamented while feeling somewhat regretful.
They hadn't watched their fill yet.
But suddenly, a viewer came over from the first livestream, having heard the discussion there.
Seeing the discussion here, the viewer from the first livestream was immediately confused.
"What, Xu Mo is about to be caught??"
"What are you guys doing??"
"That wasn't Xu Mo! Xu Mo has been in the first livestream all day today."
"Right, Xu Mo has been in the first livestream all day. Who were you guys catching?"
"He's been at the cafe this whole time, occasionally saying something, watching us get bored to death."
"Yang Jingxuan is also bored to death, nearly falling asleep."
The audience immediately exploded.
"What? Xu Mo has been in the first livestream the whole time?"
"Then what was going on with the masterful operation this afternoon??"
"Could it be ghosts??"

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.

ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
