Chapter Fifty-Six, Did You Bring the Things I Asked You To?
"Damn, what luck! Is this guy an undercover agent or something...?"
"I bet if you beat him to death, he still wouldn't realize that the poor bastard who got on Xu Mo's plane was himself!"
"And he's still staring at his phone, grinning? Grinning with his f**king mouth, still grinning! The poor bastard is you yourself!"
"Xu Mo definitely didn't know earlier that the police would intercept him in Hangzhou. But now that this guy said it, I bet he knows now."
"Now this is getting interesting. What do you think Xu Mo will do when he finds out about this?"
...
The police in Hangzhou had already barricaded the airport, lying in ambush to catch Xu Mo?
Yang Jingxuan frowned.
The pursuit team really fights dirty!
Why did they even bring in outside help?
She had to let Xu Mo know about this immediately!
Yang Jingxuan thought to herself.
Although she was just an accessory girlfriend, she and Xu Mo were on the same side.
Neither of them wanted to get caught.
Xu Mo didn't want to get caught because he wanted to enjoy this game of cat and mouse, and teach the production team a lesson that he wasn't someone to be pushed around easily.
As for why Yang Jingxuan didn't want to get caught, it was because she wanted to gain fame through this show.
The longer Xu Mo evaded capture, the more episodes would be aired.
The longer it was aired, the more well-known she would become.
Simply put, the later Xu Mo got caught, the more it would benefit her.
...
In the cockpit.
Xu Mo got up and said to Wang Li, "I'm going to the bathroom for a bit, keep an eye out here."
"Sure thing, don't worry!"
"Okay, I'll be right back," Xu Mo patted Wang Li on the shoulder and said.
Just as he arrived at the bathroom and was about to open the door to go in, a flight attendant suddenly grabbed Xu Mo.
To be precise, it was Yang Jingxuan dressed up as a flight attendant who grabbed him.
Xu Mo looked at Yang Jingxuan with a smile.
"Do you need to use the bathroom too? Ladies first?"
As he spoke, Xu Mo even shifted his body to the side to let Yang Jingxuan pass.
"No need," Yang Jingxuan shook her head.
"Why did you lie to me? You don't actually know how to fly a plane, do you?"
"Ah yes...," Xu Mo also realized that Yang Jingxuan must have found out that he didn't know how to fly a plane, so he didn't even bother trying to deny it.
Seeing Xu Mo admit it so bluntly, Yang Jingxuan was furious.
Damn, admitting it so casually?
She had believed Xu Mo earlier when he said he could fly a plane.
Who would have thought he was lying the whole time?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got as she squinted at Xu Mo.
She wanted to figure out what Xu Mo actually did, to prevent getting tricked by him again next time.
"What do you actually do for a living?"
"Me?", Xu Mo pointed at himself: "You probably won't believe me if I tell you, but I actually specialize in hunting down invading aliens."
Yang Jingxuan: "???"
As if I'd believe you!
This Xu Mo guy is terribly sly!
"Can you just tell the truth? Hunting aliens, where are there even aliens in this world?"
Xu Mo smiled and said, "You've never seen aliens right? That's right, because I killed them all."
Before Yang Jingxuan could even respond, he continued.
"No need to thank me, just doing my job, it's what I ought to do."
Having said that, Xu Mo then ignored Yang Jingxuan and reached out to push open the bathroom door.
Yang Jingxuan was stunned for a moment.
For a time, she really didn't know how to refute Xu Mo's words.
She simply decided not to continue quibbling pointlessly with Xu Mo, and instead prepared to talk about the main issue.
Stepping forward once more to block Xu Mo again.
"Nevermind that, I have something to tell you!"
"Oh?", Xu Mo looked at Yang Jingxuan, "Go ahead."
Next second, Yang Jingxuan spoke up.
"When I was serving water to the passengers earlier, I overheard some people discussing this show."
Xu Mo nodded at Yang Jingxuan, signaling her to continue.
After preparing for a bit, Yang Jingxuan relayed what she had heard to Xu Mo.
"The situation now is that the pursuit team has already chased here to the airport. Not only that, they've contacted the Hangzhou police. The Hangzhou side will probably barricade the airport in advance. As soon as we get off the plane, we'll get caught!"
Having said that, Yang Jingxuan bowed her head, pacing back and forth while muttering to herself.
"This is bad, what do we do now?"
"With the police barricading the airport, I'm afraid we won't even be able to escape even if we want to."
"We're doomed as soon as we get off the plane!"
"You said that we'd get caught on the spot as soon as we land?"
"The pursuit team is cheating! They even called for outside help!"
...
After mumbling to herself for a while, when she looked up at Xu Mo, she discovered that Xu Mo was smiling amusedly at her.
Yang Jingxuan's expression changed instantly.
Staring wide-eyed at Xu Mo.
"We're about to get caught after landing later! And you can still laugh?"
"Why wouldn't I be able to laugh?", Xu Mo shrugged, "Not only will I laugh, I'll keep laughing till the end."
Hearing those words, Yang Jingxuan looked at Xu Mo full of suspicion.
Xu Mo's reaction was very strange.
After finding out about this, he didn't show any surprise at all.
It was as if he had guessed that this would happen all along.
Moreover, judging from Xu Mo's behavior.
Xu Mo had not only guessed it, he had likely even prepared for it already.
Xu Mo just smiled and asked Yang Jingxuan, "Did you bring the stuff I asked you to bring?"
It was almost visible to the naked eye how Yang Jingxuan's expression changed instantly.
Looking at Xu Mo in a bizarre way.
"Yeah I brought them, but...what are you making me bring those things for?"
"No need to worry about that, as long as you brought them it's fine," Xu Mo smiled and didn't elaborate further.
Having said that, he pulled open the bathroom door and went inside.
Leaving Yang Jingxuan standing alone and confused outside the bathroom door.
She really couldn't figure out,
what was Xu Mo having her bring those things for.
Oh forget it, she'd find out eventually anyway.
Yang Jingxuan shook her head and left.
...
Backstage of the show.
Song Yixue was watching the live footage with great interest.
Just now she had still been worried whether Xu Mo would get caught as soon as the plane landed.
But it turns out she had worried for nothing.
Xu Mo had clearly predicted early on that the pursuit team would contact the Hangzhou police to barricade the airport.
Not only that, he had even prepared a contingency plan.
"Things are starting to get interesting..."
Song Yixue sitting in front of the screen smiled.
She was looking forward to what would happen next.
Curious to see how Xu Mo would deal with the situation after getting off the plane.
It wasn't just Song Yixue, the livestream viewers were also very intrigued and anticipative.
"This show is too exciting! Xu Mo is way more formidable than the contestants from the first two seasons. His battle of wits with the production team is what makes it fun."
"Xu Mo is awesome! He's practically Sherlock Holmes!"
"Sherlock Holmes... I'll call him Steamed Bun Holmes, don't talk if you can't speak properly."
"I bet 5 cents that Xu Mo can slip away this time too!"
"I'll add 5 cents to that bet!"
"The police is even working with the pursuit team to barricade the airport already. How is Xu Mo going to escape? If he really manages to get away this time, I'll eat this damn computer screen live!"

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!

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
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.
