Chapter 94: The Outlaw
"Borrowed?"
His words sounded righteous.
"Can you return it afterwards?"
Obviously not.
It was almost foreseeable.
Xu Mo would surely abandon the car somewhere after using it up.
If you can return it afterwards, then it counts as borrowing.
If you don't return it after using it up and just abandon it somewhere, can you still call it borrowing?
Of course, these were just Zhou Qiaoqiao's inner thoughts.
She would not say them out loud.
After all, she was Xu Mo's accomplice now.
What Xu Mo stole was practically what she stole too.
Since she also had a share, she could not badmouth it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qiaoqiao nodded: "Yes, borrowed!"
As Zhou Qiaoqiao was speaking, Xu Mo had already taken the car keys and strode out of the officers' office arrogantly.
The reason why they dared to enter so blatantly and take away a set of car keys,
was because all the officers had gone out to chase after the escaped prisoners.
The office was completely empty.
The two of them left the office,
and headed to the parking lot in the detention center that was specially for officers to park their cars.
Xu Mo walked a few steps and pressed a button on the remote key.
Soon, he located the police car and drove it out.
...
Yang Jingxuan, who was standing at the entrance, had started spectating.
Cops and robbers movies were too boring!
Everything was scripted, how entertaining could that be?
This was live, with a large number of prisoners escaping and officers chasing after them. Now that's thrilling!
The only downside was that she didn't have a bag of melon seeds and a small stool.
Otherwise she could've watched even more enthusiastically.
Just in that short while Yang Jingxuan was spectating, she had already witnessed several prisoners get caught with shiny new handcuffs.
Yang Jingxuan saw one such scene.
An excited prisoner asked the officer after getting caught:
"Bro, how was my performance? Can I get my sentence reduced?"
The officer was puzzled at first, but soon sneered coldly: "Reduced for sure... After we're done with everything, escaped prison huh... Just wait!"
Hearing that, the prisoner became elated.
"As long as I can get my sentence reduced, that's good enough! Haha, now I can get out sooner!"
...
Just then, a police car stopped in front of Yang Jingxuan.
The driver was none other than Xu Mo.
"Got the person out, get in the car, let's get out of here."
Without a word, Yang Jingxuan immediately opened the door and hopped in.
After getting in the car, she sized up the person Xu Mo rescued from the detention center.
"You're the helper the show sent to assist us? Nice to meet you, I'm Yang Jingxuan!" Yang Jingxuan waved at Zhou Qiaoqiao.
"Zhou Qiaoqiao.", Zhou Qiaoqiao also nodded at Yang Jingxuan: "You look much prettier in person than on the livestream!"
When women get complimented for being pretty by men,
they usually don't have much emotional reaction.
But being praised by another girl, especially a pretty one,
definitely makes one gleefully smug inside.
And because of Zhou Qiaoqiao’s words,
Yang Jingxuan instantly felt, this friend is nice!
While feeling smug inside, Yang Jingxuan returned the compliment to Zhou Qiaoqiao.
"How am I pretty... I feel you are prettier! What eye shadow brand do you use? It looks so good."
"Eye shadow? This is..."
The two women who have never met opened up to each other, chatting enthusiastically.
The camera clipped to Yang Jingxuan's collar captured Zhou Qiaoqiao's face.
Previously, because the only camera was on Yang Jingxuan,
and Xu Mo who went in to rescue people did not have a camera on him,
viewers were not able to see the helper the show arranged for Xu Mo right away.
Only now, through the camera feed, could they see Zhou Qiaoqiao.
Realizing it was another beauty, viewers instantly blew up the comment section.
"Wow! Another beauty, what kind of treatment is Xu Mo getting?!"
"Where do I sign up to be a contestant on this show? Can I still sign up now?"
"Isn't that my wife? How did my wife end up participating in the show?"
"Anyone got piss to splash on this idiot! What your wife, that's obviously my wife!"
"...More reactions"
While Yang Jingxuan and Zhou Qiaoqiao chatted enthusiastically, Xu Mo focused on driving.
He had zero interest in the content of the two women's conversation.
After chatting for a while, they shifted the topic to Xu Mo.
Yang Jingxuan suddenly recalled the escaped prisoners she saw at the entrance while waiting for Xu Mo.
"Xu Mo, were all those escaped prisoners released by you?"
With a straight face, Xu Mo nodded.
"I couldn't get out directly myself, so I naturally had to divert the officers' attention somehow."
Although Yang Jingxuan had guessed this earlier, when she heard Xu Mo say it himself,
she still couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
He released all the prisoners just to distract the officers!?
She was extremely curious what kind of thought process led him to this method.
This is some weird af logic!
Viewers in the livestream were also puzzled.
"I fucking knew this had something to do with Xu Mo!"
"So savage, releasing all the prisoners at once, damn!"
"Thankfully he's got plot armor, or just releasing the prisoners would've been enough to lock him up for good."
"The uncles in blue have their work cut out for them now..."
"More reactions"
Seeing the bewildered expression on Yang Jingxuan’s face through the rearview mirror,
Xu Mo smiled and said,
“Let me teach you four life mottos – Don’t play with fire if you fear getting burned, don’t be self-sacrificial for empty slogans, act dumb when you see your superiors, make the waters murky when trouble comes.”
After saying that, Xu Mo stretched out his right hand and pointed in the direction of the detention center they just drove away from, continuing,
“I was able to escape this time precisely because I muddied the waters. Otherwise I would've definitely gotten blocked at the entrance by that jerk.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao forced a smile.
“You do have a point, but don’t you think you muddied the waters too much this time? Those were escaped convicts you know, won’t there be chaos with them all on the loose?”
“No worries.” Xu Mo shook his head, “Those convicts can't escape, they are all dumbf**ks who have been caught once already. Getting caught again is just a matter of time, don't underestimate the police's capabilities, the net of law is sparse yet nothing slips through.”
Pausing, Xu Mo added another line,
“Of course, I'm the exception. They can't catch me, I'm an outlaw.”
Livestream comments:
"F**k... he's acting pretentious again?"
"Gotta give Xu Mo full marks for his pretentious bullsh*t, hope it doesn't get to his head!"
"Thank god the show producers can't see the livestream. If they caught this clip they'd probably blow a vein from anger lmao."
"Outlaw my ass, sure Xu Mo, sure."
"More reactions"
"But... won't so many escaped prisoners negatively impact society?" Yang Jingxuan also asked.
Xu Mo shook his head again.
"There's a huge stretch of godforsaken barren land surrounding the detention center. How much impact could they possibly have? The worst they could do is take a piss out there or something. Mark my words, every last one of those convicts would get caught again before even making it to the city."
Hearing Xu Mo say that, the two ladies were relieved.
As long as there's no severe negative impact, everything should be fine!
Suddenly, as if recalling something, Yang Jingxuan asked again:
"Oh right! Will their prison sentences get extended since they escaped?"
Xu Mo rubbed his nose.
Shaking his head with faux seriousness: "How would I know?"
