Chapter 151: I'm collapsing, I'm really about to collapse.

When these words reached Uncle Wang's ears, it was like a thunderclap exploding right beside him.

He extended his left index finger, his body trembling, accompanied by a visible shake in his hand!

He looked at Chen Mo with a face full of astonishment.

"You're Xiao... Xiao Chen!?"

"This is impossible!"

"Impossible!"

Uncle Wang quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket.

He looked at the text message records between the two from ten minutes ago.

Then he looked up at Chen Mo again.

He clicked the call button next to the contact name.

—Ring, ring, ring.

The phone in Chen Mo's pocket began to ring.

In that instant.

Uncle Wang's vision went black.

The strength in his body seemed to be drained away into thin air.

He was about to collapse in an instant.

But he was caught by Chen Mo, who was quick-eyed and fast-handed.

"Fake, tell me you're a fake!"

The light in Uncle Wang's eyes had vanished, replaced by an endless sense of despair.

He gripped Chen Mo's hand tightly, his tone carrying a hint of pleading.

He couldn't believe it, and he certainly couldn't accept it.

They clearly agreed he was at the Provincial City Bureau, so how did he appear in Xining!

Is this reasonable?

This is not reasonable!

Therefore, the person in front of him must have stolen Xiao Chen's phone.

...

Twenty minutes later.

At Xiaolong Street, the three of them sat down at a barbecue stall.

The matter regarding the young man who jumped into the river had already been handed over to the local police.

Since Chen Mo happened to be hungry, the three of them came over.

Ever since they sat down, Uncle Wang had been in a dazed, catatonic state.

A gust of evening wind blew from the left, tossing his hair up.

But Uncle Wang didn't care at all.

Why!

Why did I run into Chen Mo again!

I clearly took so many proactive precautions.

How did Xiao Chen still manage to chase me all the way to Xining!

Could he be playing with me?

Uncle Wang thought to himself.

"Didn't we agree you were still at the Provincial City Bureau?"

"Why did you show up here in Xining?"

He asked the question with a sense of unwillingness.

Based on several past experiences, the bad luck between them was getting heavier and heavier.

Last time, he hadn't even watched the commotion, yet he was arrested as a drug dealer.

This time, the two of them had watched the commotion together again.

In other words, a case could happen at any moment.

And he, due to all sorts of bizarre 'good luck,' would become a suspect and earn the reward of a few days' tour of the detention cell!

"I was indeed in the provincial capital before. I came here to handle a case, which is also to participate in a competition."

A competition?

Uncle Wang wasn't interested in that.

He continued to question Chen Mo.

"Fine, then what about when you said you were going to the capital?"

"One is in the north, the other is in the west. It's impossible for them to be on the same way."

Hearing this, Chen Mo swallowed a mutton skewer.

"Yeah, it's definitely not on the way."

"After I'm done here, I'll see if I have a chance to go there."

"That's still a bit uncertain."

As Chen Mo spoke, he also quickened his eating pace.

Based on past experience.

Once Uncle Wang watched a commotion, it would trigger some kind of bad luck buff!

To name the most common result, it would be a murder case!

If he didn't eat now, once a case actually appeared, he wouldn't have the time to eat.

"Xiao Chen, whether I'm being self-important or speculating with a petty mind, are you actually stalking me!"

"If not, how could such a coincidence happen!?"

Uncle Wang was completely baffled.

He wasn't anyone special.

Why would Chen Mo want to stalk him?

Was he that bored?

Obviously, he didn't even believe the idea that he was being stalked.

"It's not important."

Chen Mo shook his head without explaining.

He didn't want to explain either.

Don't you know why it's such a coincidence in your own heart, Uncle Wang?

A crazy person never thinks they are crazy.

By the same logic...

"What are you two talking about? Is it some kind of secret code?"

Old Xiang looked at his brother and then at this composed young man.

After listening for a while, he could also hear the verbal sparring between the two.

"Whew, you only need to know that a major case is about to arrive!"

Uncle Wang said, swallowing hard.

His expression was full of alertness toward his surroundings.

"Chen Mo, to be precise, this is the third meal I've had since I got out."

"I want to eat a fourth meal, a fifth meal, many meals."

Uncle Wang pointed at the barbecue on the table.

"Do you think I'll go back in this time?"

A look of expectation appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Chen was a professional police officer after all.

Even if the guy was a bit unlucky.

His ability should be stronger than an ordinary person like himself.

He was perfect for analyzing the current situation.

At the same time, he felt very aggrieved in his heart!

Damn it, how long had he even been out?

As soon as Chen Mo appeared, it felt like he was about to be screwed over and sent back in again.

If he didn't want to go in, he had to do something before the case appeared!

Otherwise, out of 24 hours a day, only 12 hours would truly belong to him.

On what grounds!

I want human rights!

"Hard to say."

Chen Mo sighed.

He wasn't sure if a case would appear right now either.

It was all inferred based on past experience.

Therefore, saying it was 'hard to say' actually fit the reality of the situation to some extent.

It wasn't just a perfunctory answer.

"I'm full, let's go back."

After Uncle Wang paid the bill, the three of them left.

"Old Xiang, I'll hang out with you next time. I'm going back to the hotel first."

"Okay, you guys stay safe."

After seeing the other party off.

Uncle Wang once again looked around alertly.

He didn't let any slight movement go unnoticed.

"Don't be like that."

"Have you heard of Murphy's Law?"

"It means the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen."

"Conversely, if you treat things with a calm mind, they often develop in a good direction."

For example, before an exam, if you always worry about doing poorly, then after you get the paper and start, you'll make more mistakes than usual because of tension, worry, and uncertainty, which affects your progress and causes mental fatigue.

On the other hand, if you answer with the mindset that you will definitely do well, none of the above situations will occur, and you might even perform better.

"That makes some sense."

Uncle Wang retracted his wandering gaze.

They made it all the way to the hotel entrance.

No case had occurred during the walk.

This allowed his heart to finally settle down completely.

"Looking at it this way, I guess I was just too nervous, huh."

Uncle Wang pointed to a room on the 7th floor upstairs.

His mood also brightened up.

"I live on the seventh floor."

Hearing this, Chen Mo looked up in the direction he was pointing.

"What the heck is hanging outside my window!?"

Because it was nighttime and the LED lights at the hotel entrance were quite bright, it was almost impossible for the naked eye to see clearly seven floors up in the dark.

He couldn't see it, but that didn't mean Chen Mo couldn't!

But before Chen Mo could explain.

The object hanging on the seventh-floor window plummeted rapidly downward.

—Thud!

A person slammed heavily onto the ground.

Face down, the body splayed out in a star shape.

Fresh blood instantly sprayed all over Chen Mo and Uncle Wang.

"Oh, crap!"

Seeing this, Uncle Wang's face became a mask of agony.

He was scared, but more than that, he was breaking down!

The person had fallen from his room's window.

He slapped his thighs with both hands: "What did I do to deserve this!"
