181: Chapter 181 Encountering a Ruthless Bandit

Having eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Mo drove Wu Dongju back toward the manor.

Wu Dongju leaned back in the passenger seat, patting her round belly with a look of pure satisfaction.

She glanced at Chen Mo, who was focused on driving, and couldn't help but tease him:

"I didn't expect you to be so good at finding places. That hotpot was delicious—spicy enough to be satisfying, fragrant, and full of flavor."

"Of course. Look who picked the place."

A smile played on the corners of Chen Mo's mouth. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, his tone tinged with a bit of pride:

"Looking at the way you were eating just now, it was like you were afraid someone would snatch it from you. There are still oil spots on the corner of your mouth."

Wu Dongju immediately raised her hand to wipe her mouth, glared at him, and said coquettishly:

"You're lying to me! And you're one to talk—you ate quite a lot yourself. How can you have the nerve to criticize me?

By the way, today's tournament live stream was so successful. Our platform's traffic jumped by a huge margin. Just thinking about it makes me happy."

"That's only natural. When my Dongju handles things, they never go wrong."

Chen Mo agreed warmly. Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly heard a loud 'clatter.' The car body shook violently, giving them a harsh jolt.

Wu Dongju let out a startled cry and instinctively grabbed the interior handle. Regaining her composure, she asked:

"What happened? What's going on?"

Chen Mo's expression darkened. He immediately steadied the steering wheel and pulled the car smoothly to the side of the road. He reached out to pat the back of Wu Dongju's hand and said softly:

"Don't be afraid, it's fine. Our car is custom-made, so you don't need to worry about safety. It's likely the car behind us hit us. I'll go down and check the situation. Stay in the car and don't move. Also, call the traffic police."

Chen Mo frowned, thinking to himself:

Although there are many cars on this road, everyone drives slowly. A normal rear-end collision wouldn't cause such a huge commotion. It's mostly likely the driver behind was distracted or did it on purpose.

Chen Mo sighed, pushed open the car door, and stepped out.

Chen Mo walked to the back of the car and immediately saw an old black sedan following them. Its front was dented, and one of its headlights was shattered.

The window of the driver's seat in the rear car was open, and a man in his thirties was sitting inside.

The man wore a dark, wide-brimmed hat pulled extremely low, almost covering his entire face, leaving only his chin and tight lips visible. He also had a cloth mask on, clearly a deliberate disguise to prevent people from seeing his face. He exuded a sinister, violent aura, and he didn't look like a good person at all.

Chen Mo walked to the rear car's window and said:

"Sir, you've rear-ended me. How do you want to handle this?"

The man looked up and glanced at Chen Mo with a fierce gaze. His tone was extremely aggressive as he snapped:

"None of your damn business! Get back in your car and get out of my way, or I'll show you no mercy!"

Chen Mo's brow furrowed. This man's attitude was terrible, his expression was panicked, and he was so heavily disguised—there was definitely something wrong.

His expression darkened, and his tone turned a few degrees colder:

"You hit my car. Logic dictates you're responsible. You can't hide from this."

"I told you to get lost! Did you hear me?"

The man instantly became agitated, his eyes turning hideously ferocious. He suddenly reached into his coat as if to grab a weapon, roaring savagely:

"If you dare meddle in my business again, I'll kill you!"

Chen Mo possessed Grandmaster-level Fighting Skills. Dealing with a thug like this was child's play; he didn't take the man seriously at all.

"What are you hiding in your coat? Take it out."

Chen Mo pressed forward, his voice brook no argument.

Seeing that Chen Mo wouldn't let it go, the man's gaze turned ruthless. He reached directly for the gun in his coat, still shouting threats:

"You asked for this! Don't blame me!"

But in Chen Mo's eyes, his movements were as slow as a snail's crawl.

Chen Mo was quick of eye and hand. Before the man could pull the object out, Chen Mo lunged, grabbed the man's wrist, and twisted hard.

"Argh!"

The man let out a miserable scream, his face turning pale from the pain. The gun fell directly out of his coat.

Chen Mo used the momentum to pull the man out of the driver's seat, twisted his arm behind his back, and pressed a knee into him, pinning him firmly to the ground and completely neutralizing him.

The entire sequence of movements was fluid and so fast that it was hard to process. In just a second or two, the previously menacing man was completely subdued, unable to move and left only to howl on the ground.

Passersby noticed the scene and stopped to watch. Some took out their phones to record videos, constantly exclaiming in amazement:

"Holy crap, this guy is too amazing! He subdued the criminal in just a few moves!"

Chen Mo ignored the onlookers. He took out his phone and dialed the police, concisely stating the location and situation, informing them that there was an armed criminal who had been subdued.

Before long, the sound of sirens approached, and several police cars rushed to the scene.

The police got out, immediately took control of the criminal on the ground, and handcuffed him.

After verification, this person was exactly the fugitive the police were hunting for—the one who had committed an armed robbery at a jewelry store. He had been on the run for several days, and no one expected him to be caught here by Chen Mo.

The police officer thanked Chen Mo repeatedly:

"Young man, thank you so much. This person is a major fugitive. He has a gun and is very dangerous. You've truly done a great service for the people."

Chen Mo waved his hand and said flatly:

"It was just a small effort. It's what I should have done."

The police took a simple statement, put the criminal in the police car, cleared the accident scene, and left.

Chen Mo got back in his car and drove back to the manor.

What Chen Mo didn't know was that the video of him subduing the criminal, filmed by a passerby, had already been posted online. Within tens of minutes, it went completely viral, spreading across major social media platforms and short video sites, causing a massive sensation.

The first to explode were the domestic netizens, as the comment section was instantly flooded:
