Xu Mo, who was willing to risk danger just to go to the restroom to retrieve his phone, had just left. His phone was certainly not left in the toilet. Pretending that his phone was lost and escaping from the evacuating crowd was simply because Xu Mo had learned some information from the conversation between the four people.
He had heard the conversation between the four people loud and clear.
Especially Wang Hao's line: "Did you forget where the real gem is?"
When he heard this sentence, Xu Mo suddenly felt very unwell.
Damn, it looks like he's been cheated!
He immediately staged an act, pretending that he had lost his phone, and used this excuse to leave the evacuating crowd.
Based on the literal meaning of Wang Hao's words, it could be understood that there were two gems, one real and one fake.
Plus, judging by the tone he used when he said this, the real gem should be hidden in a very concealed or very safe place.
At least the four of them were convinced that Xu Mo would not have the ability to steal the real gem that was hidden.
As for the fake gem, Xu Mo guessed that it was likely the one in the display case that he had just stolen in the dark.
Taking the gem that he had just obtained from the system space and weighing it in his hand, Xu Mo licked his lips with a very gloomy expression: "I worked so hard to steal a fake one?"
It was impossible not to feel angry.
What was the point of putting a fake gem in the display case?
Were they messing with him?
This was simply bullying an honest man!
"This one is fake... so where is the real one hidden?" Xu Mo murmured to himself.
At this time, all the people in the exhibition hall had evacuated.
The entire exhibition hall was left with only Xu Mo.
Under such circumstances, he could move around freely.
Xu Mo stroked his chin and pondered.
It wasn't difficult to infer from Wang Hao's words and the attitudes of the other three that the real gem must be hidden in an extremely concealed place.
Xu Mo first ruled out the exhibition hall.
One reason was that the exhibition hall had too much foot traffic, so hiding the real gem here would be too risky. Who knows if some lucky bastard might pick it up.
Secondly, he had also carefully observed the exhibition hall. Apart from the bulletproof glass display cases, there was nowhere else to hide anything.
"Bathroom? Electrical room? Pantry? Security rest area? Surveillance room?" Xu Mo went through all the places he could think of in his mind.
But just thinking about it was useless. He still had to go check them out.
Xu Mo first went to the bathroom.
The only place that could hide anything here was the water tank.
He opened up each of the water tanks one by one, but did not find the gem.
The gem was not here.
The bathroom could also be ruled out.
After leaving the men's room, the sight of the women's room next to it caught his eye.
"Uh... looks like the bathroom can't be completely ruled out yet," Xu Mo scratched his head.
He had checked the water tanks in the men's room, but not the women's.
Xu Mo wondered if there was a possibility... that the gem was hidden in the women's toilet water tank!?
In the spirit of being rigorous, Xu Mo decided to go in and take a look.
Of course, he didn't choose to just recklessly barge right in.
Instead, he first yelled out loudly.
"Is anyone in there?"
After waiting a few seconds without anyone responding,
"Okay, I'm coming in now!"
Come to think of it, this was his first time going into a women's toilet.
It was a bit thrilling, and also a bit curious.
Opening the door of one of the stalls and lifting the toilet tank lid to check, there was no gem.
Subsequently, Xu Mo checked the water tanks in each stall one by one, still not finding the gem.
Now the bathroom could really be completely ruled out!
"Nothing much different, just missing a urinal," turning to leave, the observant Xu Mo shrugged, "Hmm... the signs are different too." (You can guess what the signs say, hehe......)
After ruling out the bathroom as well,
Xu Mo then went to the electrical room, pantry, security rest area and surveillance room in succession.
After searching the electrical room, pantry, and security rest area all over without finding the gem, Xu Mo became somewhat anxious and irritable.
"Where the hell did these bastards hide the gem? Or was that line just meant to mislead me?"
At this time, the only place he hadn't gone to in the entire exhibition hall was the surveillance room.
Upon entering the surveillance room, Xu Mo immediately discovered a safe tucked away in a corner.
Seeing this safe, all of Xu Mo's negative emotions were wiped away.
He even felt a little excited.
His instinct told him that what was hidden in the safe was most likely the real gem.
After all, a safe like this should not appear in the surveillance room.
Especially when one look told you it was a high-end model!
Not bothering to think much more, Xu Mo decided to open this safe.
Whether it contained the real gem or not would be clear as soon as he opened it.
For others this might be an issue with this kind of safe.
For Xu Mo, opening it was like child's play.
Of course, tools were needed as a prerequisite.
Xu Mo took a look around the surveillance room.
He discovered that there were several unopened cups of instant noodles sitting on the table.
With such convenient tools as instant noodles at hand, opening a safe was a piece of cake.

Shen Manyi had worked hard before finally waking the unconscious Han Fei.
After being woken up, Han Fei felt his head was a little foggy and his eyelids were as heavy as lead, as if he had been pumped full of lead.
He instinctively wanted to rub his temples with his hands.
However, Han Fei was surprised to find that his hands were tied behind his back.
For a time, Han Fei could only bitterly smile.
To put it bluntly, this was probably the most humiliating incident in his life.
He hadn't caught the criminal, and instead was knocked out and tied up by the criminal.
What was most deadly was that this whole thing was being livestreamed!!
The viewers were all watching!
"Sigh." Han Fei sighed heavily, his face full of pain.
He had originally wanted to make an impressive appearance on the show and show off the police's capabilities.
Who would have thought...
Because of the troublesome opponent Xu Mo, he had ended up in such an indecent state!
"Captain Han, let's call the police for help," said Shen Manyi. "My hands are tied behind my back so I can't see my phone. Let's work together. You tell me which way I should press my hand. I'll make the call to the police. I remember what Xu Mo and his gang look like after changing their looks. Have the police send over a sketch artist. We still have a chance!"
Before Shen Manyi said this, Han Fei was already in pain.
One must know, his identity was a former criminal investigation team captain!
For a former criminal investigation captain to not only fail to catch the criminal, but also get tied up by the criminal instead, having to make a call to ask the police for help.
Damn...
The absurdity of this matter was almost on par with you, a high schooler, getting beaten up by some petty neighborhood thugs outside of school, then going home to ask your 8-year-old brother to help you get revenge.
But there was no other way.
Who else could come save them if they didn't call the police?
Seeing that Han Fei didn't respond, Shen Manyi urged him again.
"Captain Han, hurry up. I can't see the screen. Help me look at the phone. I'll make the call. I remember what Xu Mo and his gang look like after changing their appearances. Have the police send a sketch artist so we have a chance!"
After two seconds of pained silence, the anguished Han Fei spoke.
"No need to make it so complicated, just use the voice assistant... Hello Xiao Ai."
"I'm here."
"Call Dial Imp."

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
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.
