A swarm of guests scrambled to run out.
At first, the security guards still tried to stop these guests who wanted to flee.
But they soon realized that this was completely futile.
The guests were all like they had gone crazy, and it was impossible to stop them at all.
The key was also that there were too many guests.
Relying only on the few security guards to stop all the guests was like asking for the impossible.
Seeing the chaotic scene in front of him, Han Fei could now be 100% sure.
This must have been a good thing done by that fellow Xu Mo.
What he said about having the female guests and female attendants shot dead on the spot was definitely a rumor he had spread.
His purpose in doing this was to take advantage of the chaos to flee.
"Xu Mo made such a big disturbance, he must want to blend into the crowd and escape. Stop all these people and check them one by one!" Han Fei said to the police officers.
For such a large-scale chaos, it would definitely be impossible to quickly calm things down and suppress it with just a few words.
The simplest method was to fire warning shots.
The police officers also knew this.
So they took out the guns around their waists and fired a shot into the air.
Then in unison they shouted, "Everyone calm down first, stand where you are and don't move. Please cooperate with us in carrying out our duty."
The shrill gunshot exploded in the quiet night sky.
Contrary to what the police officers expected.
The gunshots did not calm down the scene of guests running around everywhere.
On the contrary, it made the scene even more chaotic.
This was mainly because the previous scene was too messy.
As a result, everyone did not hear what the police officers shouted.
But they had all heard the gunshots without exception.
So they jumped to conclusions and had the wrong idea.
At this moment, what the guests were thinking was...
That guy earlier was right after all.
Judging by this posture, they really want to shoot us dead on the spot!
Why else would the officers bring guns?
Han Fei: "???"
He had been in the business for quite some time.
At his highest he had been a criminal investigation team captain.
It could be said that he had seen all kinds of situations and experienced all kinds of storms.
But he had really never seen such a scene!
Were these people all crazy?
Weren't they afraid of guns?
After being stunned for a moment, Han Fei quickly found a loudspeaker from the police car.
"Everyone don't panic. It hasn't gotten so serious that female guests and attendants have to be shot dead. That's a rumor spread by people with ulterior motives. We are here to catch criminals. The criminal is hiding among you. What everyone needs to do now is to cooperate with the police and not run around. I guarantee that as long as you cooperate, the police will never harm you!"
He paused, then added another sentence, which was meant for both the police officers to hear, and also for the chaotic crowd.
"Listen carefully. From now on, anyone who moves around arbitrarily will be regarded as a suspect, and shooting is allowed!"
Initially, people did not understand the situation clearly.
They only started running when they saw others running first.
Now after hearing Han Fei's explanation, most people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and obediently stood where they were.
Of course, the main reason people didn't dare to move around was because of the second half of Han Fei's speech - moving around would lead to being shot.
Seeing that the scene was no longer as chaotic as it was at the beginning, Han Fei also breathed a deep sigh of relief.
He turned around and looked at the police officers behind him, "Go and bring everyone out to check one by one. Xu Mo may have disguised himself in a different appearance during this period of time, so... check every one of these people."
Upon hearing this, the police officers went forward one after another.
Without makeup remover, they used their shirt sleeves to wipe faces.
Anyone whose face they could wipe off a layer of powder might possibly be Xu Mo in disguise.
...
After a round of checking, no signs of makeup were found on anyone.
The police officers came to Han Fei one by one to report the situation.
"Captain Han... no suspicious subjects found."
"Same here, no suspicious personnel."
"Couldn't find Xu Mo."
"..."
Shen Manyi suddenly said to the police officers next to her, "It's also possible it's a skin mask. Xu Mo's disguises aren't limited to makeup."
"Right, check again to see if anyone's wearing a skin mask."
Speaking of which, Han Fei paused for a moment, and added something else.
"The club's staff also need to be checked. Not a single one can be let go. Xu Mo may have disguised himself as anyone. Split a team to search the club and bring everyone inside out."
"Yes sir!", the police officers said in unison.
Then they consciously split into two teams.
One team stayed outside, continuing to check if any of these people out here were wearing skin masks.
The other team entered the club, intending to search this place and bring everyone out.
...
Five minutes later.
A police officer rushed out anxiously from the club.
He jogged all the way to Han Fei.
In a low voice, he said to Han Fei.
"Captain Han... trouble happened. The four people you left behind were knocked unconscious, lying in the hallway."
"And also, the word 'death' was written on all of their foreheads."
Han Fei: "???"
Writing words on foreheads, what the hell was that?
And it was the word “death”?
Did this mean Xu Mo had 'killed' these four officers?
Han Fei couldn't hold back anymore.
He was preparing to go in and take a look: "Take me there."
Led by the police officer.
The investigative team of four headed by Han Fei came to the four unconscious policemen.
Seeing the words on the foreheads of the four policemen lying on the ground, Han Fei felt numb.
This was Xu Mo provoking them!
The livestream viewers also saw this scene through the camera.
They were all dumbfounded.
“6666666 This can be done too?”
"Writing words on foreheads is too awesome, Xu Mo really is talented!"
"Xu Mo's mockery gauge went max with this move. The investigative team must be losing face right?"
"How is Han Fei gonna report to Director Wang when he goes back? Not only did he fail to catch Xu Mo after borrowing several teams, he even let Xu Mo 'counter kill' four of them."
"Han Fei: Unlucky!"
"No but... I saw in the neighboring livestream Xu Mo separated from Li Jiaxin and the other three women early on. These four policemen were knocked out by Xu Mo alone??"
"Damn son? Is Xu Mo still hiding his skills? He knows martial arts and stuff too?"
"Hard to say. We have all witnessed Xu Mo's hidden skills. Who knows what other skills he has hidden?"
"......"
Just then, the hand of policeman Xiao Jiang who was lying unconscious on the ground suddenly moved a little.
It looked like he was about to wake up.
Han Fei immediately squatted down.
Wanting to obtain some information from the soon-to-be awake Xiao Jiang.
The next second, Xiao Jiang slowly opened his eyes.
Just as Han Fei was about to ask questions, he was interrupted by Shen Manyi next to him.
"Captain Han... I suggest you don't think about asking anything from him."
Shen Manyi pointed at Xiao Jiang lying on the ground who had just opened his eyes: "He's already dead. The 'dead' can't speak, otherwise the viewers will say we are cheating."
Upon hearing this, Han Fei smiled bitterly.
He had indeed overlooked this point.
He immediately gave up the idea of asking questions.
Having heard the conversation between the two, Xiao Jiang who had just woken up was confused.
"I'm dead???"
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
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.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
