"Can I? I don't want a permanent penguin membership, I just want to watch a couple of TV shows," Yang Jingxuan looked at Xu Mo full of expectation.
"Okay," Xu Mo nodded, "but not now, you have to do me a favor first."
As soon as Yang Jingxuan heard that Xu Mo was willing to help, she agreed without even thinking about it.
"Okay! Tell me what you want me to do for you!"
Xu Mo leaned over to Yang Jingxuan's ear and told her his next plan.
...
The bank.
The police officers executing the mission were all a little confused at this moment.
"Director Wang, what are you asking us to go back for? Isn't Xu Mo..."
Before he could finish speaking, Director Wang interrupted him.
"Xu Mo is not in the bank, he didn't rob the bank at all. The bank's surveillance was tampered with by him. What I saw on the surveillance video was Xu Mo standing at the counter now forcing the teller to give him money."
Upon hearing this, the police officer instinctively looked towards the counter.
There was no one there.
Director Wang continued,
"Withdraw the team and come back. Oh yes, remember to reassure everyone. Send those who have fainted or been injured while escaping to the hospital. We will bear the expenses incurred."
Far away in the police station, Director Wang felt a little frustrated.
This drill was simply a mess!
They actually let Xu Mo play them like a fiddle.
Just now he had someone check those alarm calls.
It turned out they were all virtual numbers.
The alarm calls and surveillance inside the bank were all fake.
Director Wang wondered.
Didn't they say this Xu Mo was just an ordinary office worker?
Making prank calls with virtual numbers, hacking into the bank's surveillance, and replacing the live feed with pre-prepared videos.
Is this something an ordinary office worker can do!?
Absolutely impossible!
Normal office workers certainly don't have this ability.
Only hackers can do this.
Is Xu Mo a hacker?
But the key point is that this was not mentioned in Xu Mo's information!
If they had known earlier that this guy was a hacker, would they have been fooled so badly?
If they had known from the beginning that Xu Mo was a hacker, they might not have fallen for it at all!
The police officers who had gone out to apprehend, upon receiving Director Wang's order, immediately chose to withdraw.
And as per Director Wang's instructions, they left a team of people behind to reassure those frightened people, telling everyone that there were no robbers in the bank and that it was a drill, etc.
Upon learning that it was a false alarm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They all said they understood.
A burly man, holding a girl's hand, came over to the police officers and thanked them,
"Comrade police, thank you so much! I've been single for over twenty years, and because of your drill today, I've found my other half!"
As he spoke, the burly man hugged the girl's shoulders tightly, with a broad smile on his face.
For this burly man, this was a windfall!
A police drill directly ended his single life, wasn't this a great thing!?
The girl shyly slapped the burly man's broad arm, "Oh, stop it!"
The police were puzzled for a moment.
They guessed this burly man had protected this girl in the bank just now.
And so he got himself a girlfriend.
But at that moment, a young man barged in.
Looking at the girl, "Baby! I finally found you. The police uncle said it was just a drill, not a real bank robbery, there are no robbers, we're fine... Wait, who's the man hugging you?"
At that moment, the man felt a warmth coming from the top of his head.
It was as if someone was afraid he would catch a cold and had specially put a hat on for him!
The girl rolled her eyes, looking very indifferent.
"Who are you calling baby? Don't get it wrong and make my boyfriend misunderstand."
The man stared, "??? I'm your boyfriend!"
"Ex-boyfriend. I've seen through you now. You left me behind and ran when there was danger. I was blind to have liked you!"
Having said that, the girl pulled the burly man hugging her and the two of them left directly.
Leaving only the man behind, confused.
His head was buzzing and his legs felt as though they were filled with lead, unable to move.
He watched helplessly as his girlfriend was embraced by the burly man, the two of them walking farther and farther away...
After a long time, the man finally came out of his dazed state.
Girlfriend gone!?
A drill caused him to lose his girlfriend, acted her away into someone else's arms!?
The police were also puzzled.
This was... a bit melodramatic!
Reaching out to pat the man on the shoulder, he handed him a cigarette.
Although he didn't say anything, but... it was all unspoken.
...
The investigation team side.
They were still on the way back to the detention center.
Han Fei had smoked half a pack of cigarettes, but still couldn't figure it out.
How could this Xu Mo be a hacker?
There was no mention of this in Xu Mo's information!
But from the situation they had now,
Xu Mo must be a hacker.
Otherwise, the alarm calls and surveillance videos in the bank would not make sense.
As for Xu Mo having accomplices or something like that.
That was simply impossible.
No one would dare help Xu Mo do these things even if they had the guts of a bear or a tiger.
One had to know that making false police reports and hacking bank surveillance were illegal.
Xu Mo dared to do it because his situation was special now. Making false police reports and hacking bank surveillance were things he really dared to do without breaking the law.
Because Xu Mo currently had an "robbing banks is not illegal" buff...
Han Fei could almost certainly conclude that no one else would dare to help hack the surveillance.
It could only have been done by Xu Mo.
But...
If Xu Mo really had hacker skills,
why was there no mention of this in his personal information!?
Unless Xu Mo had secretly learned hacker skills and never used them before!
Li Chen was so angry that his teeth itched.
"Hacker... this is preposterous! If we had known earlier that Xu Mo was a hacker, we wouldn't have fallen for this!"
"Who isn't saying that," Chen Ke, who was driving, also complained, "This drawing the tiger off the mountain tactic was truly brilliant, damn!"
After complaining, he angrily slapped the steering wheel.
His mentality had collapsed.
Han Fei also sighed.
Although they had clashed with Xu Mo many times and were very familiar with Xu Mo's methods,
they should have realized something was wrong as soon as they learned Xu Mo started directly robbing banks instead of saving people.
But the problem lay precisely in these hacking skills.
Who the hell could have imagined Xu Mo was a hacker?
Who could have imagined the bank surveillance was fake?
If only they had known Xu Mo's identity as a hacker earlier,
they wouldn't have been played so thoroughly!
...
Detention center.
A woman stood at the door shouting loudly,
"Comrade, where is my brother? Didn't you say you would release him yesterday? I waited at home for a whole day but didn't see him. No one picked up when I called. You didn't let him out, did you?"
As she spoke, the woman was about to go inside.
She immediately attracted the attention of the guards at the door.
"Impossible, we don't get the release times wrong. What's your brother's name? Let me check for you."
As the guard spoke with the woman,
a policeman with his cap brim pulled very low quickly walked into the detention center...
