Xu Mo realized that now was an opportunity to take down this whole fraud gang in one fell swoop.
The three plainclothes officers immediately reported this important lead.
After the headquarters got this news, they immediately dispatched more people to them.
Of course, they were all disguised.
They couldn't startle the snake in the grass and let this fraud gang notice the police's presence.
...
At this time, the investigation team came to the last place Xu Mo was seen on the surveillance footage.
They started the first round of searches.
This time they didn't search remote corners, just high-end hotels.
Any place that looked a bit extravagant, they were prepared to search it all.
After all, Xu Mo had a criminal record.
Last time he determined that the investigation team wouldn't search hotels, which is why he dared to check in.
This time, no matter what, they couldn't let Xu Mo slip through the cracks again.
They found a high-end hotel that met the criteria and were preparing to go in and search, when Chen Ke sneered coldly:
"I bet Xu Mo would never think in his wildest dreams that we would come directly search high-end hotels first thing."
At the same time, Chen Ke was also a bit puzzled.
"Don't you think this Xu Mo is a bit full of himself? Looking at his file he's just an ordinary guy, how could he have the desire to stay at 5-star hotels?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Manni glanced at him.
"When people suddenly have money, retail therapy is normal. Right now he's still evading us, there aren't many places he can spend money, so of course he can only stay at 5-star hotels."
After listening to Shen Manni analyze Xu Mo's psychology after suddenly gaining wealth, everyone suddenly felt that she was right.
When someone suddenly comes into money, especially a huge sum, they will inevitably start retail therapy.
For eating, clothing, housing and transportation they would absolutely choose the highest standard.
So...Xu Mo must be staying at a high-end hotel in this area.
Either 5 stars or 4 stars.
The more they thought about it, the more motivated they became.
It was as if they could catch Xu Mo very soon.
...
In the rental apartment,
Xu Mo was standing by the window lost in thought.
What the scammer saw and heard was everything Xu Mo wanted him to see and hear.
It was all staged by himself, meant to mislead the scammer.
The goal was to make the scammer mistakenly think he had some compromising information on Xu Mo.
If things went as expected, the other side would soon start blackmailing him.
What Xu Mo was thinking about now was how he could get the scammer to willingly give him money before trying to blackmail him.
Suddenly, Yang Jingxuan's words interrupted Xu Mo's train of thought.
"Xu Mo! Stop standing there in a daze, didn't you say you were treating me to a fancy dinner? When are we going for the fancy dinner?"
Xu Mo turned his head and glanced at Yang Jingxuan.
Coincidentally, he was also feeling a bit hungry now.
"Right now, let's go."
Yang Jingxuan was overjoyed. She took out a pile of cosmetics from her bag.
"Right now? Then wait for me, I need to touch up my makeup. Can't go without the ritual feeling for a fancy dinner!"
Half an hour later.
Yang Jingxuan had finished touching up her makeup.
The two left the room.
As soon as they stepped out the door, they almost bumped right into an extremely scantily clad woman.
The woman walked to one of the room doors.
She took a look at her phone, then looked at the room number, before knocking on the door.
Xu Mo didn't pay much attention to this woman.
But Yang Jingxuan was extremely curious, looking back every few steps.
With previous experience,
she now felt that every woman knocking on doors was a scammer!
After leaving the rental apartment and coming to the street, Yang Jingxuan sidled up to Xu Mo mysteriously.
"If I didn't guess wrong, that woman just now is also a scammer! She also looks like she came to return a phone."
"I guess this rental apartment is the old haunt for that group of scammers."
"I'm right, aren't I?"
After speaking, she had an expression like 'I'm so awesome, hurry and praise me.'
Xu Mo shook his head.
"That's not a scammer, that's a wet nurse."
"Huh?" Yang Jingxuan was puzzled. "What wet nurse? For feeding babies?"
Yang Jingxuan expressed that she could not understand.
"Don't we have formula now? It's not ancient times anymore, little kids can drink formula."
Xu Mo said in all seriousness:
"Did I say she was feeding little kids? She could be feeding 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80-year-old adults for all we know."
Yang Jingxuan: "???"
...
Xu Mo brought Yang Jingxuan to a small pancake fruit stand at the entrance of the rental apartment.
"Boss, I'll get an order of pancake fruit, add some pork tenderloin and sausage, no cilantro."
After speaking, Xu Mo turned to look at Yang Jingxuan again.
"What do you want added?"
However, at this time Yang Jingxuan was staring wide-eyed in disbelief.
"This is the fancy dinner you were talking about?"
"I spent so long doing my makeup, and you're taking me to eat this stuff?"
She had looked forward to it for so long.
She had even done her makeup specially for the so-called ritual feeling.
Turns out the fancy dinner Xu Mo talked about was just taking her downstairs to buy a pancake fruit!
What does this stuff have to do with a fancy dinner?
Xu Mo smiled and reassured Yang Jingxuan:
"It's just because of the special circumstances, next time for sure, next time for sure."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jingxuan sighed.
She also knew they shouldn't be too high-profile now.
Or they might get caught by the investigation team, and that would be the end of it.
At this moment Yang Jingxuan was like a frosted eggplant.
She said dispiritedly to the pancake fruit stand owner: "I'll have the same as him."
Yang Jingxuan didn't notice the pancake stand owner had a strange expression.
But Xu Mo noticed.
Not only did he notice the abnormal expression on the pancake stand owner's face.
He seemed to be hesitating about something.
Xu Mo also noticed the owner kept sneaking looks at the door of the rental apartment.
The next second, the pancake stand owner gritted his teeth.
He started making the pancake fruits.
The owner's technique was extremely clumsy.
No matter how you looked at it, he didn't seem like someone who made a living running a street food stand.
It was a bit out of place with his old food cart.
It took 10 minutes for the owner to make two sloppy pancake fruits.
These two pancake fruits, even a dog would shake its head at them.
The owner looked at Xu Mo and Yang Jingxuan apologetically.
"Um...it's been too long since I ran the stand, my hands are a bit out of practice. Just make do with these two pancake fruits, they're on the house."
Looking at the two pancake fruits made into a complete mess, Yang Jingxuan's mood worsened even more.
Not only did she not get to eat the fancy dinner,
she had even been prepared to compromise and just make do with a pancake fruit.
But this...
Was this even a pancake fruit?
What kind of stand owner had skills this bad?
Suddenly, Yang Jingxuan's pupils contracted slightly, as if she had thought of something.
"Whatever this stuff is, I'm not eating it!"
After speaking, Yang Jingxuan pretended to throw a tantrum and walked away without looking back.
Xu Mo immediately followed.
Coming to Yang Jingxuan's side, he said in a low voice: "Not bad, you're pretty good at acting. You saw through this person's true identity?"
Upon hearing these words, Yang Jingxuan immediately became proud.
The tone of her voice also suddenly became much more cheerful.
"Of course, my acting skills are great."
"Do you think I'm an idiot? I saw online that pancake fruits made into a complete mess are usually a sign of plainclothes officers. How's that, am I quick-witted or what!"
"If we had been a step slower, wouldn't we have gotten caught?"
Xu Mo helplessly said:
"Caught nothing, this isn't someone from the investigation team, or they would have rushed in and caught us already. I'm guessing this is just a local cop, specifically staking out that scammer."
. 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!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
