Tie Up a Big Shot

The security guard wanted to confirm with the police officer whether the matter was significant or not.

If it was a major issue and dangerous, he wouldn't come to the residential area these days.

Money can be earned at any time.

But life is precious!

However, as soon as the police officer heard the security guard's words, the smile on his face froze instantly.

Four women and one man?

Could it be Xu Mo and his group?

Thinking of this, the police officer immediately took out his phone.

He found Xu Mo's photo and showed it to the security guard.

"Sir, is this the person you're referring to?"

The security guard stared at Xu Mo's photo on the police officer's phone, furrowed his brows, carefully identified it, and then nodded.

"Yes, yes, it's him. He spoke to me today, I remember it well. He was accompanied by four girls."

Suddenly, the old security guard seemed to remember something, and his face changed.

"I remembered now, they haven't come out yet!"

Five police officers went in to investigate the case in the afternoon and haven't come out even after dark...

Estimating the situation, either the case was too big, and the five police officers couldn't finish examining the scene in half a day.

Otherwise, the five police officers were also victims.

But regardless of which possibility, it could only mean one thing.

The case the police officers were investigating was significant!

He won't come.

He won't come these days no matter what!

That's what the security guard thought.

Unlike the panicked security guard, the police officer's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

He stared at the security guard.

"Are you sure they haven't come out yet?"

"Sure, this is a new residential complex, there aren't many residents, and only a few people enter or leave in a day! How could I forget whether they came out or not?" the security guard said.

Upon hearing this, the police officer's excitement grew even stronger.

Xu Mo was in this residential area.

And he hadn't come out yet. That was good news.

He called Han Fei.

A surprise! Catching the turtle in the urn!

Without much thought, the police officer dialed Han Fei's number.

Han Fei picked up instantly, "What's going on?"

He knew that if there was nothing wrong, the police officer wouldn't call him.

"There is! Han Team, quickly gather everyone and come to Wanhui City, it's the residential area next to Lakeside Village. Xu Mo is here!" the police officer said with great excitement.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely! The security guard personally told me."

"Guard it well, I'll come right away!" After speaking, Han Fei hung up the phone.

Shortly after, screech...

A piercing sound of brakes came from the entrance of Wanhui City.

The four members of the investigation team arrived first.

Other police officers also rushed from different directions.

Within a few minutes, the sound of tires rubbing against the ground almost never stopped.

...

Wanhui City residential area.

Room 301 of Building 4.

This building was less than a hundred meters away from the main entrance of the residential area, with no obstructions.

In addition to the low floors, the night was quiet, and Xu Mo hadn't closed all the windows tightly.

The sound of brakes at the entrance could still be heard.

Although the sound that reached here was already very faint, Xu Mo still heard it.

He had already gone to bed.

But after hearing these noises.

He instinctively felt that something was not right.

He got up and went to the window, glanced in the direction of the entrance of the residential area.

At the entrance, there were more than ten cars parked.

Dimly, it could be seen that several people got off the cars.

With the help of the car lights, Xu Mo was able to recognize one person in the crowd—Han Fei.

"So fast?" Xu Mo was a bit bewildered.

According to his plan, Han Fei wouldn't be able to find him until tomorrow, even if he moved quickly.

Who would have thought that he would show up tonight?

To Xu Mo's surprise, the reason he was discovered was because of a phone call from the security guard!

Glancing at the time, it was 9:30 in the evening.

Xu Mo stepped out of the room and knocked on the doors of the other two bedrooms in succession, saying, "Don't sleep yet, come out for a moment."

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing Xu Mo's voice, the four people in their pajamas came out.

"The members of the investigation team have arrived," Xu Mo said calmly.

"What? So soon?" Zhou Qiaoqiao was taken aback, and her drowsiness disappeared. "What should we do? Should we run overnight?"

An Youyi also looked puzzled at Xu Mo and asked, "What should we do? Should we run overnight?"

Xu Mo shook his head. "There's no need for that. They've only arrived at the entrance of the community. At most, they can only determine that we are inside the community, but they won't be able to know the specific room number in a short time."

"What I mean is, sleep now. It's 9:30 in the evening. If we sleep until 4:30 in the morning, that's about seven hours. We can leave under the cover of darkness. Remember to set an alarm clock and don't oversleep."

Pausing for a moment, Xu Mo smiled at the four people.

"We were originally planning to take action tomorrow, but who would have thought they would move so quickly... Now we have to advance the time and act as soon as we wake up."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jingxuan stared at Xu Mo and asked, "You haven't told us what we're going to do. Don't we need to make any advance arrangements this time? What do we need to do to cooperate with you?"

Xu Mo wore a mysterious smile and shook his head.

"No, there's nothing major. We just need to capture someone. There's no need for advance arrangements. You just need to follow me when the time comes."

Zhou Qiaoqiao: "..."

An Youyi: "..."

Yang Jingxuan: "..."

Li Jiaxin: "..."

Does he have to be so casual about it?

He just blurted it out without a second thought?

Making it sound as easy as taking a sip of water.

Is kidnapping not a big deal?

After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Qiaoqiao curiously asked, "Who are we kidnapping?"

Xu Mo still maintained his mysterious expression.

"Some... important figure. You'll find out when the time comes."

"Alright, let's go to sleep now. Remember to set the alarm clock. Don't oversleep until it's broad daylight. It won't be good for us to go out then."

Xu Mo didn't tell them who they were going to kidnap.

It's because the person they were going to kidnap is indeed a significant figure.

He was afraid that they would be too excited and wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

In fact, Xu Mo was also a little excited.

Because he knew very well that once they kidnapped this person... things would escalate completely.

The police might go crazy and hunt him down everywhere.

Getting a good night's sleep would probably be a luxury.

But... no problem!

Xu Mo wanted to make a big fuss out of this.

And he had already figured out his way out.

He wasn't afraid at all.

...

Outside the community.

The police officers had taken up their hiding positions and were on standby.

The trap was set, they were just waiting for Xu Mo to fall into it.

Not only at the entrance, but even outside the surrounding walls, people were stationed at regular intervals to prevent Xu Mo from escaping by climbing over the wall.

Time ticked away, second by second.

4:51 a.m.

"Bang!"

A gunshot shattered the tranquility of the night...
