The driver who had witnessed the entire scene from the sidelines was dumbfounded.
Just a short while ago, two people had been tied up.
Now, another two were bound.
What on earth was going on!?
Moreover, Xu Mo's movements were exceptionally practiced; he knocked people out with such efficiency, without even a hint of hesitation.
It was clear at a glance that he was a habitual offender!
The driver was utterly bewildered.
So much so that he even began to wonder if he was dreaming.
Wasn't this supposed to be a society governed by the rule of law?
What the hell was this situation!?
Brazenly kidnapping people in broad daylight?
After securing the two newly captured individuals in the back seat, Xu Mo turned to face the driver, reaching out to pat him on the shoulder.
"You didn't try to escape while I was dealing with those two. Not bad, you've got guts!"
The driver smiled bitterly.
Escape? Was he joking?
He wouldn't have dared to run even if he wanted to!
After all, Xu Mo had a gun.
In that situation, even if he had tried to run, Xu Mo would have had plenty of time to pull out his gun and shoot him.
The driver didn't believe for a second that he could outrun a bullet.
Furthermore, he was so scared that his legs felt weak; even if he tried to run, he wouldn't get far.
Seeing the driver's unnatural expression, Xu Mo smiled.
"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, I absolutely won't harm you. Get in the car, we're going to this place next," he said, pulling out his phone and setting the navigation to an abandoned factory in an old town district.
This was where the last group of fugitives was hiding.
Xu Mo had caught two groups of fugitives in succession, and now he was going after the next group.
The viewers in the live stream were stunned.
"What kind of efficiency is this!? I feel like he's even more professional than the investigation team!"
"It's not about being professional, it's that he doesn't play by the rules. He even pretended to be the fugitives' parents and called them. How could he not catch them?"
"Xu Mo seems to be going all out, aiming to catch all the fugitives in one fell swoop."
"Now there's only one group of fugitives left uncaught. If Xu Mo manages to catch the last group, he'll be the one who persevered to the end. A grand prize of 20 million! I might not be able to earn that much in my entire life!"
"Brother, be more confident and remove the word 'might'. You definitely won't earn that much. Forget about one lifetime, you won't earn 20 million in ten lifetimes!"
"Damn you! You're the one who won't earn it in ten lifetimes!"
"You're getting angry, you're getting angry, you're getting angry..."
"..."
Old town district abandoned factory.
Following the navigation's guidance, the driver drove the car here.
When they arrived, the driver's heart was in turmoil.
The area around this abandoned factory was overgrown with weeds and extremely desolate.
In TV dramas, places like this were usually used for killing people and disposing of bodies!
He even wondered if Xu Mo had made him drive here to eliminate him and the people tied up in the back seat in this deserted place...
However, Xu Mo didn't give him time to overthink.
He directly dragged him out of the car.
The two entered the abandoned factory.
They searched according to the phone's location.
In an office, they found the last two fugitives.
Since there was no one else here besides them, Xu Mo acted without hesitation.
He didn't even say a word before knocking the two unconscious.
Xu Mo was responsible for knocking people out, while the grueling task of dragging the bodies back to the car was left to the driver.
The last three groups of fugitives had also been caught by Xu Mo.
Of course, his captures didn't count officially; the police had to catch them for it to be valid.
So next, what Xu Mo needed to do was to deliver these three newly bound groups of fugitives to the police station.
After watching the driver drag the last two fugitives back to the car, Xu Mo sat back in the passenger seat and issued another order.
"Next place, go here," he said, randomly finding a location on the map and starting the navigation.
The driver stared blankly at Xu Mo.
There was another place to go!?
They had already tied up six people, and they were going to continue?
How many people did he plan to kidnap?
Was there really no concept of law in his eyes??
Meanwhile.
Han Fei received a call from a police officer.
"A car theft? Suspected to be related to Xu Mo?"
"Yes," the officer on the other end of the line replied. "When we first received the report a while ago, we didn't think to connect it to Xu Mo and treated it as a normal case. But after checking the license plate number, we realized something was off. That van has appeared successively in Grain Road Street, the riverside, and the old town district..."
Hearing this, Han Fei felt a chill run down his spine.
Grain Road Street, the riverside, the old town district...
It was worth noting that these three places were the general areas where the remaining three groups of fugitives were hiding, as determined by police surveillance.
If a stolen van had only gone to one of these places, it could be considered a coincidence.
Even if it had gone to two out of the three places, it could still be marginally explained as a coincidence.
But to appear successively in all three places? Could that still be a coincidence?
If so, it would be far too coincidental!
So coincidental that Han Fei couldn't help but think that this matter was likely connected to Xu Mo.
The person who stole the car was almost certainly Xu Mo.
Han Fei thought this not only because the car had appeared successively in the three general areas where the fugitives were hiding.
Part of the reason was also that stealing a car in broad daylight was quite outrageous.
Even if someone were to steal a car, they probably wouldn't choose to do it in broad daylight, but rather at night.
Not to mention, the stolen vehicle was a dilapidated van that was almost ready for the scrapyard.
This broken-down vehicle couldn't fetch much money, and even if someone tried to sell it to a car dealer, the dealer might refuse to take it due to its poor condition. It might be impossible to sell at all!
If someone was going to steal a car anyway, who would choose to steal a broken-down vehicle that could hardly be sold?
Unless the person stealing the car wasn't intending to sell it at all, but rather to use it. As long as it was functional, that was enough. They didn't care at all about how much the car was worth.
The reason for choosing to steal this car instead of a luxury car was simply because this broken-down vehicle was right in front of them, and they just took it on a whim.
Daring to steal a car in broad daylight, and not being picky about it, stealing whatever car they saw... Wasn't this exactly Xu Mo's style?
Han Fei even thought that Xu Mo might have stolen this van simply because he liked its spacious interior, which provided enough room for him to store the fugitives!
Realizing this, Han Fei's expression immediately darkened.
Now that Xu Mo had been to all three general areas where the fugitives were hiding.
Could it be... that all three groups of fugitives had already been captured by Xu Mo!?
In the van.
Xu Mo suddenly sneezed, not knowing why.
Glancing at the phone's navigation, Xu Mo suddenly spoke up.
"Stop the car next to the public toilet ahead, I need to use the bathroom."
There was a public toilet ahead, and about 300 meters beyond it was a branch of the police station.
The driver had noticed this as well.
He realized that he finally had a chance to escape!
With an excited heart and trembling hands, the driver suppressed his inner excitement and stepped on the brake pedal next to the public toilet by the roadside. The car came to a steady stop.
Xu Mo opened the car door, and before getting out, he didn't forget to 'warn' the driver: "I'll be right back, behave yourself, and don't try any tricks!"
Hearing this, the driver just kept nodding.
But in his heart, he thought, "Behave myself? Dream on! The police station is right ahead, I'd be crazy not to take such a good opportunity to escape!"
So as soon as Xu Mo stepped out and closed the door, the driver slammed on the accelerator.
The van sped straight ahead towards the police station about 300 meters away.
Seeing this, Xu Mo didn't freak out.
Because with the driver recklessly driving into the police station, all the fugitives inside would inevitably be caught.
This was exactly the result he wanted.
