The flying guest heaved a sigh, "No way around it, just thinking about how it was you, Minghao, who caused all this trouble, and yet I’m the one getting caught, I can’t find any peace in my heart."
Wu Mu nodded in agreement, "Right, we need to promote the correct values, we can’t let the bad guys get away unpunished while the good ones suffer and are caught."
You’re the real betrayer, exposing your own teammates with your twisted moral compass!
And you keep calling yourself the good guy, you didn’t spare me, the ’good guy’, either!
The flying guest was already numb.
Why does this National Star from Hua Country have to be such a pain!
The two fled in panic, with Wu Mu sticking close behind them.
But as they turned a corner, An Minghao’s peripheral vision suddenly caught Wu Mu stopping his chase and doubling back to the left.
An Minghao and the flying guest were instinctively stunned.
After being dazed for a fleeting half second, they continued to run forward out of inertia, but their faces betrayed a sense of bewilderment.
They would soon find out why.
Less than a minute ahead, they heard shouting from behind, "Found them, they’re here!"
"It’s An Minghao and Che Taixiao!" Follow current novels on novel·fıre·net
Both of them startled, they quickly changed direction and ran.
They could now split up, and at a corner, they instinctively went in opposite directions, one left and one right.
A police unit of seven quickly subdued the flying guest, cuffed him, and joined the others to surround An Minghao as well.
Looking at the two newly caught individuals, the police weren’t the slightest bit pleased, only grim-faced.
"He’s gotten away again."
Something was off, very off.
Once could be luck or good timing.
But twice? It seemed very wrong.
The police team immediately began to "interrogate" the two captured criminals.
"When did Wu Mu run off?"
An Minghao, recognizing the officer from a photo previously shared in the group, hesitated, "Isn’t Wu Mu one of your own?"
Relief the first time, but by the second, there was only a heavy sense of dread.
The more people fooled, the tougher Wu Mu appeared to be.
An Shengxu’s expression was grave as he looked at An Minghao, "No, tell us what happened after you met with Wu Mu."
Wait, Wu Mu isn’t an internal traitor?
So their previous suspicions were right?
But... it seemed the situation had gotten even more absurd.
An Minghao was utterly astonished.
"Damn it, you’re abusing criminals! This is unfair treatment, we need to use the toilet! We need to eat!"
Inside the show’s "prison," Li Zhengxun and Lee Taihuan were causing a ruckus.
Though they were caught and likely out of the show, stirring up some drama could still get them on camera.
The guard was speechless, "This is the seventh time you’ve asked to use the toilet, and we’ve already brought you food three times."
They must be celebrity guests; if they were actual criminals, he’d be tempted to punch each of them and let them understand their situation.
"Taihuan has a weak bladder, he urinates frequently," Li Zhengxun pushed Lee Taihuan forward.
"Zhengxun, bro, you’re the one with health issues!"
The two bickered and squabbled.
Then the door opened, and two new criminals were brought in.
Lee Taihuan curiously peered out, then scoffed disdainfully, "Minghao, you got caught too? You guys couldn’t even outdo Zhengguo, who hasn’t been caught yet."
An Minghao with an expressionless face, "Still better than you two getting caught in the morning."
Lee Taihuan’s disdainful face froze.
Li Zhengxun wasn’t as boisterous; he was more curious, "How did you guys get caught?"
"It was that..." the flying guest almost blurted out.
But An Minghao quickly pulled him back, "Nothing much, just got surrounded by a bunch of cunning cops, that’s all."
How could they let it slip that they were tricked and caught because of Wu Mu, such a face-losing incident?
Especially since Li Zhengxun had warned them, and yet they still fell for it.
The flying guest also realized and quickly corrected himself, "Right, right, just surrounded by those sly police, that’s all."
They wanted to hide this embarrassing incident, at least until the show aired.
But someone seemed to enjoy making a mockery of them.
The show’s director came in, inquiring, "An Minghao, Che Taixiao, do you have any last words?"
An Minghao and the flying guest, with faces full of distress looked at the curious Li Zhengxun, "Can you give us our phones so we can send them ourselves?"
The director obviously didn’t catch their concerns and shook his head, "You’re already caught criminals, how can you have access to phones?"
After the refusal and seeing they were still silent, the director wondered, "Don’t you have anything to say?"
The flying guest couldn’t hold back any longer, and through gritted teeth, he yelled angrily, "Wu Mu, you bastard!!"
An Minghao threw caution to the wind, "Wu Mu, you traitor, I won’t let you get away with this!"
After shouting, An Minghao saw the baffled expressions of Li Zhengxun and felt a flush of embarrassment.
Luckily, they wouldn’t be staying here long, or the incessant questioning about the details could lead to total social obliteration.
Having had his outburst, An Minghao, following his earlier thought, raised his hand, "Officer, I have important information to report! I can help you catch Wu Mu!"
