Before pulling off this scam, Wang Yue had made it clear.
After they finished this job, they would definitely have to get out of town.
No matter what, they couldn't keep committing crimes out in the open.
Otherwise, they'd definitely get caught.
And this time was different from their usual cons to get money.
This time it was extortion, openly asking for money.
If Xu Mo was willing to give them money, then that would be easy to handle.
But if he wasn't willing, then they'd have to reason with him until he was willing to give them money.
Bluntly put, they had to get this money no matter what.
But right after this group entered,
the security guard at the door immediately took out his phone.
He dialed 110.
He had let this group in just now because he had no choice.
There were a lot of them, what could he do?
Judging by their attitude, if he hadn't let them in, he was afraid he would have gotten beaten up.
But the security guard had also realized these people were probably not up to any good.
He couldn't handle it himself, but he could call the police to come handle it.
In fact, the fraud group was also aware that the security guard would definitely call 110.
But they weren't worried at all.
After this last job they'd be getting out of town anyway.
Plus with all the preparation they had done, it would be a quick job.
By the time the police got the call and arrived, they would have already left.
Two minutes later, the first group of undercover officers arrived.
One minute after that, police cars started pulling up one after another.
Of course, to avoid startling the snake in the grass, none of the police cars had their sirens on.
At that moment, the entrance was still filled with police cars.
Seeing the scene before him, the security guard was confused.
"Didn't I just call? How are the police here already?"
After a brief moment of shock,
the security guard immediately approached one of the officers and told him what had just happened.
"Officer, just now..."
Before the guard could finish, the officer interrupted him.
"We already understand the situation, don't worry, we're here to deal with this group. Can we see the surveillance footage from the security room? We need to know their exact whereabouts."
Although the police had wiretapped Wang Yue's phone calls.
All they knew was that the fraud group would be at Jingrui Villa.
They didn't know which specific building, because it wasn't mentioned in the calls.
They could only check the surveillance footage.
"Of course!" The guard didn't hesitate and immediately led the officer to the surveillance room.
He helped him pull up the footage from a few minutes ago.
Just then, the pursuit team arrived as well.
Along with them were the ten officers Wang Ju had originally lent to Han Fei to help with his show filming.
The two groups met up.
"Did they go in?" Han Fei asked.
"Just went in a short while ago, we're checking the surveillance to find their exact location. Once we confirm, we'll go in and make arrests," the officer replied.
Seeming to guess what Han Fei was thinking, the officer added,
"This is an assignment from our bureau. To avoid any accidents, just leave the arrest operation to us this time. We'll handle the execution, but don't worry, we guarantee we'll catch that Xu Mo and deliver him to you. I hope you can understand..."
Hearing this, Han Fei nodded, "I understand, that makes sense."
He also knew catching the real fugitive was the top priority right now.
Not the fake fugitive Xu Mo.
If the pursuit team tried to butt in at a time like this, it could mess things up.
Besides, there were so many cops here already.
Surely they didn't need just the four of them.
With so many people, it would be easy for them to round up the fraud group and nab Xu Mo effortlessly along the way.
But Han Fei did remind the officers,
Taking out his phone, he pulled up a photo of Xu Mo and held it out to the officer.
"This is what Xu Mo looks like. If he's really in there, don't let him get away."
"Got it," the officer waved to the other officers, "Everyone come look, this is a photo of the Xu Mo that Han's team is looking for. If the Xu Mo in there is this guy, we must catch him."
The officers all crowded around to take a look.
However, one undercover furrowed his brows when he saw the photo of Xu Mo.
The guy in this photo looked familiar.
Wasn't this the guy who bought pancakes from him this morning?
To avoid blowing his cover, he had reluctantly made the guy some pancakes.
And they turned out pretty bad.
The undercover scratched his head and said,
"I saw this guy today when I was on stakeout, he bought a couple pancakes from me."
"If I had known it was him, I would've collared him right there."
Hearing this, the corner of Han Fei's mouth twitched.
So...Xu Mo had already met this undercover face to face?
With Xu Mo's intelligence, there's no way he wouldn't have suspected a pancake stand owner who couldn't even make good pancakes.
He was even more certain of his earlier guess now.
Xu Mo was likely setting a trap to help the Hang City police catch criminals!
Of course, Han Fei also knew.
Xu Mo would never do a good deed without some personal gain.
He must be planning to scam money from the con artists!
Seeing Han Fei's somewhat strange expression, the undercover was slightly apologetic and said, "My mistake, I should have noticed something was off about him then."
Hearing this, another undercover retorted,
"It would have been real trouble if you had collared him. The fraud group would have noticed our presence then, and everything that happened afterwards wouldn't have happened."
Xu Mo wasn't a fugitive at all. What good would catching him do?
Catching a fake fugitive and scaring off the real fugitives, now that would be a mess.
"Han's team, let's talk more later, catching the criminals is what's important now. Just wait for the good news from us."
After saying that, the officer went back to continuing watching the half-finished surveillance footage.
Livestream Room 2
"What a show of force, all police cars. Xu Mo run, the police are everywhere outside!"
"I want to laugh just looking at that undercover. One look at him and I think of that crappy pancake he made hahaha."
"With so many cops here this time Xu Mo can't get away right? Just seeing him interact with my wife pisses me off! Hurry up and arrest him, damn."
"What wife? That's my wife!"
"She's not anyone's wife, she's everyone's wife!"
The situation in Livestream Room 2 was still relatively normal.
At least some of the viewers were still paying attention to the progress of the arrest operation.
The vibe in Livestream Room 3 at this time, however, was completely different.
The camera was on Yang Jingxuan's collar.
Because the collar hung down,
this camera had been filming Wang Yue and Yang Jingxuan's legs the whole time.
The viewers in the livestream room had been watching legs the entire way.
One pair in black stockings, one pair without.
"Hehe...this livestream is so exciting!"
"(๑•̀ᄇ•́)ง Oh yeah..."
"Someone get Yang Jingxuan some chicken legs, we gotta take care of our cameraman!"
"I couldn't type earlier, but I want to ask everyone now - what is the meaning of life? Are we living just for our biological urges?"
"Just came hard, what a rush!"
"To...go to the pier and get some fries later?"
