Underground parking garage.
The trunk of a black Volkswagen was slowly being pulled open, revealing a crack.
Inside the crack, a pair of beautiful eyes stared out in horror, turning around.
In the dim light, the whites and black pupils of the eyes looked extremely distinct in black and white.
At first glance, this scene was extremely creepy.
It made one's heart almost unable to bear it!
Xu Mo's heart suddenly jumped, and he almost cried out.
Anyone would be greatly startled to suddenly see a pair of eyes in the crack of a car trunk!
Xu Mo not crying out now could already be considered good.
He took several deep breaths before fully opening the trunk.
Instantly, his scalp tingled.
His mind was full of shock!
He saw inside the trunk, a fair-skinned woman with delicate eyebrows and eyes, tied up and appearing before his eyes.
"Damn..."
Xu Mo couldn't help but swear, he never imagined that there would be a woman in his trunk!
Not only were this woman's hands and feet tied, even her mouth was taped shut with black duct tape.
This was clearly not a good thing.
But he had no time to think about this matter.
Instead, he reflexively picked up his phone.
In the livestream, the poking around fans saw Xu Mo open the trunk, froze in place, then swore, generally understanding what was going on.
"There really is someone in the trunk."
"Which female celebrity could it be?"
"Damn, she's blocked from view, can't see at all."
"This is killing me!"
The fans' view was blocked by Xu Mo's back, so they couldn't see the situation in the trunk at all, and were a bit anxious.
But they saw Xu Mo pick up his phone.
"He wants to call the police!"
The voice of the female host sounded in the livestream.
"But our program team made arrangements early on."
Yes.
Xu Mo wanted to call the police!
For a person with a normal mind, when encountering this kind of thing, calling the police would be the first thought.
Xu Mo had this idea as well.
However, just as he virtually tapped 110 on his phone...
"Tap tap tap..."
Sounds of footsteps came from the parking garage.
The footsteps drew nearer from afar.
Xu Mo instantly stopped what he was doing.
Someone was coming!
The current situation was very clear.
In his trunk was a beautiful tied up woman.
If someone saw...
Then he would have no way to explain himself.
How could he tell others, this beautiful girl wasn't tied up by him, she just appeared out of thin air in his trunk?
No one would believe him!
Therefore...
"Bang!"
Xu Mo reached out and closed the trunk again.
Calling the police could wait until later.
Being seen by others with a woman in his trunk, that would truly be troublesome.
Sweat beaded on Xu Mo's forehead.
Soon after, the footsteps were right by his ear.
A middle-aged man appeared in his field of vision, walking towards him, then passing by his side, going to a Cadillac next to him, then driving away.
"Phew!"
Seeing the Cadillac leave the underground parking garage, Xu Mo finally let out a breath.
Seeing this, the livestream fans spoke up.
"Hahaha, I dare say this guy probably almost peed his pants from fright."
"If it were you, you'd probably also be hard pressed."
"But don't mention it, this guy's reaction speed is still pretty fast."
"So what, with the luxurious lineup this episode arranged, this guy definitely won't last an hour."
"The investigation team will probably take action soon."
"Just missing the news broadcast!"
Amidst the fans' bullet screen comments, Xu Mo picked up his phone to call the police a second time.
However...
When Xu Mo picked up his phone, unlocked the screen, and was about to call the police...
"Ding!"
A popup news alert appeared on the screen.
"Guangzhou Urgent News Bulletin: This evening our city's police department received a call to report a kidnapping. Famous actress Yang Jingxuan was kidnapped today. According to clues provided by witnesses, the kidnapper was driving a black Volkswagen, license plate number Guangdong AXXXX. Please call the emergency number if you have any information..."
"Below is the vehicle owner's information."
"This is..."
Seeing the photo popped up in the news, Xu Mo was greatly shocked, eyebrows jumping, feeling extremely incredulous.
Because the photo in the news was him!
"How the hell did I actually become a wanted criminal?"
Xu Mo instantly felt completely unable to accept this!
He himself clearly didn't do anything.
How could he become a wanted criminal like this?
What kind of bullshit was this!
This was a shit pot left by his former self.
A woman without melons is innocent.
Xu Mo inexplicably felt a sense of unreality.
With his handsome face, how could he be associated with a kidnapper?
Was the actress Yang Jingxuan very famous in this world?
Comparable to Big Mi?
And those extremely popular first-tier actresses in his past life?
But compared to the actress's matters, what Xu Mo was more concerned with right now was himself being wanted.
This was troublesome now.
What should he do?
Should he still call the police?
Wouldn't calling the police be turning himself in?
The current Xu Mo was very confused!
He wanted to know the cause and effect of this matter.
He was just an ordinary person.
You can dodge for a while, but not for a lifetime.
Or he could ask Yang Jingxuan.
Right!
Get this whole thing straightened out, get it clear.
If he really did it, he would admit to it. At worst he would spend a few years in jail.
That was far better than being caught and spending ten or twenty more years in jail.
After all, he didn't hurt anyone!
But this underground parking garage clearly wasn't a good place to ask questions.
Xu Mo truly felt very vexed.
To inexplicably become a wanted criminal like this, he didn't want to spend the rest of his life fleeing.
He had also wanted an exciting life before.
But the current matter was too exciting for him.
Exciting to the point of being hard to accept.
Xu Mo no longer hesitated in the underground parking garage, but sat in the black Volkswagen, preparing to find a place to ask Yang Jingxuan in the trunk.
He wasn't stupid enough to let Yang Jingxuan out right now.
He started the car.
And accompanying the sound of the Volkswagen engine starting, a cold, mechanical voice sounded by his ear...
"Event triggered!"
"Cat and mouse game begins!"
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
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!" "......"
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.
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
