Fire Outbreak

Ground floor.

The police officers blocked off the only exit in and out of this building.

They didn't bother with people going in, only those coming out.

Anyone wanting to leave had to undergo inspection by the officers.

They did this to prevent Xu Mo from disguising himself as someone else and slipping out.

This time, it was truly like catching a turtle in a jar!

The entire building had only one door for entry and exit.

The sole entrance and exit was now guarded by them.

Anyone coming out had to be checked before being allowed to leave.

Xu Mo's disguise skills were completely useless.

Moreover, Xu Mo was entirely unaware of this situation.

Livestream chat:

"It feels like Xu Mo is really done for this time. The exit is guarded by police. By the looks of it, even if Xu Mo uses his disguise skills, he won't be able to get out."

"It's over. Xu Mo is finished. He's totally barbecued this time!"

"Xu Mo isn't completely without a chance of escape. If he could take down these dozens of officers single-handedly, he could break through."

"One against dozens? Are you dreaming?"

"Or maybe Xu Mo can fly and just fly out of a twentieth-floor window to escape."

"Now you're really dreaming. How could a person possibly fly? He's not a bird!"

"There's another possibility. Do you think Xu Mo might have learned free climbing? If he has, he might be able to climb down from the twentieth floor."

"..."

After triple-checking that the police had left the neighboring room,

Xu Mo walked out of room 2010 and came to the door of 2011 next door.

He opened the door and went in.

As soon as he entered, Xu Mo discovered that the door to the secret room had been opened.

There was no one in the secret room, and there were two unfinished self-heating hotpots on the table.

He could guess that the pursuit team had beaten him to it and arrested the two fugitives hiding in the secret room.

Xu Mo was stunned.

He had clearly arrived first.

He didn't expect someone to swoop in and steal his prize.

"What a pity..."

Sighing, he didn't linger any longer.

Xu Mo turned and left the room.

He came to the elevator, pressed the down button, and waited for it to arrive, preparing to go downstairs.

Seeing this scene,

The livestream viewers immediately erupted into a frenzy.

"It's over. He's really going to be caught. He doesn't even know the ground floor is surrounded by police, and he's actually taking the elevator."

"Won't he be finished as soon as he steps out of the elevator? He'll probably be pinned down on the spot!"

"Hehe... It's good if he gets caught. I want to sign up for the show! I'll gladly take over the four beautiful female assistants he leaves behind."

"..."

Xu Mo stood waiting at the elevator door for two minutes.

The elevator ascended to the 20th floor.

Coincidentally, two people walked out of the elevator.

They were discussing how there was a bunch of police officers downstairs checking everyone who was leaving.

The speakers were unaware, but the listener took note.

Originally, Xu Mo didn't know about this.

He was about to take the elevator down and continue to catch other fugitives.

He hadn't even thought that the police might have set up a trap downstairs.

In fact, he should be thankful to these two people for providing him with this crucial information.

Livestream chat:

The viewers were all stunned.

"???"

"No way? How can this even happen!?"

"Xu Mo's luck is simply unbelievable... I wonder if there's going to be a twist next?"

"+1, I also think there's going to be a twist. Before, Xu Mo didn't know, but now that he does, he should have a way to deal with it, right?"

"..."

If it were anyone else, knowing that the police were waiting on the first floor for them to walk into the trap, they certainly wouldn't choose to go down at this time.

But Xu Mo did exactly the opposite.

As soon as the two people in the elevator walked out, Xu Mo walked in.

He seemed completely unconcerned about being caught by the officers waiting on the first floor.

The elevator slowly descended.

When it reached the seventh floor, the doors opened.

Then quickly closed, and the elevator continued downward...

Ground floor.

With a "ding," the elevator doors automatically opened.

An Old Man walked out, hunched over and holding a cane.

Seeing someone walking out, several officers immediately approached.

After briefly explaining the situation, they prepared to inspect the Old Man.

Who would have thought, the Old Man had no intention of cooperating.

He raised his cane as if to strike.

"What are you doing? Don't come near me!"

"Sir, please calm down. We're police officers, not bad people. This is a routine check. Could you please cooperate?"

"Go away, get out of here. I have urgent business. I don't have time to waste on you. Don't block my way."

With that, the Old Man simply ignored the officers and tried to push through.

He held his cane, looking as if he would hit anyone who blocked his path.

The officers realized this wouldn't do and formed a line, blocking the Old Man's way.

They knew about Xu Mo's disguise skills and that he could potentially disguise himself as anyone to slip out.

This was precisely why they needed to check everyone leaving.

No one had special privileges!

Seeing the officers block his path,

The Old Man didn't hesitate to raise his cane and swing it at one of the officers.

Fortunately, the officer was quick and caught the cane.

He gave a final warning to the Old Man.

"Sir, we've explained very clearly. We are police officers on duty. If you don't cooperate, we'll have to take forceful measures."

"I don't care who you are! You little brat, you dare to grab my cane? Let go! I'll have you know, I've had training!"

The Old Man glared with fury.

So... the officers decided to use force.

They didn't care whether the Old Man cooperated or not and directly started checking his face for signs of disguise.

After the inspection, they found nothing unusual.

The officer in charge of the check shook his head: "It's not him. Let him go."

He said, releasing the cane and looking apologetically at the Old Man.

"Sorry, sir. It's our duty. We hope you understand."

The next second, the Old Man did something no one expected.

Instead of leaving immediately, he lay down on the ground.

He had originally intended to go out to the street.

Who knew that before he could even leave the complex, right after coming downstairs, this happened!

Officers: "???"

Was he trying to scam them right to their faces!?

Meanwhile,

At the fire station.

The dispatcher received an emergency call.

"Fire? Where? Apartment 706 in Lijing Garden Residential Complex, right? Okay, we'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone,

The alarm sounded.

In less than a minute, the firefighters were assembled.

Without hesitation, they drove off towards Lijing Garden Residential Complex.

In firefighting operations, saving lives always comes first.

Considering that the fire was on the seventh floor, in order to rescue people from the fire scene as quickly as possible, the firefighters on duty took the special fire truck equipped with an aerial ladder used for rescuing people from high-rise buildings.
