This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 378 - 303: This Person is Outrageous_2
Chapter 378: Chapter 303: This Person is Outrageous_2
She seriously doubted whether this guy was some kind of hidden scumbag, able to sweet-talk so effectively?
If he wanted to hit on that cosplayer right now, he probably just needed to crook his finger, and she would come running.
The editor beside them made a face that screamed speechless—was this some kind of offline bribery?
After putting on their costumes and ensuring no one could recognize them from their appearance, Jin Huiyan wanted to rush to their car and make a getaway.
But unexpectedly, Wu Mu didn’t head toward the parking area. Instead, he made his way toward the convention entrance.
As he went, he reminded the camera crew beside him, "Can you guys film covertly later? Don’t let people realize it’s us through the camera."
Jin Huiyan couldn’t help but ask, "What are you planning to do?"
Wu Mu let out a sly laugh, waving the sickle in his hand, "We’ve got a car now, we’ve got food, but we’re still a bit short on money for emergencies, and we need more information, too. We need to get our hands on some."
It was true they didn’t have enough money, and their informational status was foggy at best.
But how were they going to get money and information?
Jin Huiyan looked at him blankly.
Instead of answering right away, Wu Mu turned to the director who hadn’t gone far and inquired, "Director, our characters are extremely vicious criminals, right?"
The director was taken aback but nodded, "Yes, you are part of a transnational criminal syndicate, utterly ruthless."
Wu Mu nodded in satisfaction and continued, "So for ruthless criminals like us, it would be reasonable to go out and rob some money, right?"
Um.
That makes... no sense at all!
"You’re planning to rob someone!!?"
Before the director could respond, Jin Huiyan exclaimed in shock, "Are you out of your mind!?"
When the director regained his composure, he was also startled, "Don’t do that! Robbery is a crime!"
Your damn brain must be broken!
The production told you you’re a criminal in a role-play, and you think you can really go out and rob like one!?
The production overrides the law, huh?
Preposterous, absolutely preposterous.
If a normal person said this, the director would have thought he was joking.
But coming from Wu Mu, considering his previous antics, the director was genuinely worried he had gotten confused during the filming, so he quickly said:
"Although this episode of our show is in collaboration with the Busan City police, the entire event must strictly adhere to national laws, with no genuine criminal acts."
And of course, Wu Mu wasn’t out of his mind; he knew full well that robbing ordinary people was against the law, but what if the targets weren’t ordinary people?
Wu Mu smiled and waved his hand, "Don’t worry, how could I actually commit a crime? I’m not robbing ordinary people."
Then who?
Wu Mu continued, "I’m thinking of robbing the police, they must have loads of money on them."
???
Rob the police!?
No, isn’t this even more absurd!
Robbing ordinary people is already a felony, and now you want to rob the police?
Fear was written all over their faces.
But Wu Mu looked at them as if they were the strange ones, "Since the police are involved in the show, doesn’t that make them actors like the rest of the guests? If I rob them, isn’t it just like robbing any other guest? I’ve seen your show where guests often snatch things from each other and run."
Huh?
The director froze completely.
Somehow, that sounds reasonable?
Because real police officers were participating in the show and the filming was in collaboration with the Busan City police, the director hadn’t quite processed it immediately.
Now listening to Wu Mu’s explanation, it almost seemed like there wasn’t an issue?
Wu Mu continued to press, "Director, you can’t say we are criminals on one hand and then not allow us to do what criminals do on the other, right? For regular people, that’s another matter, but for fellow guests who are also part of the show, shouldn’t we level the playing field? Wouldn’t real-life criminals resist too?"
Don’t slander real criminals!
Their resistance is the kind that happens when they’re caught, not the proactive robbery of police like you’re suggesting!
The director was silent for two seconds, "Let me ask the main director."
This wasn’t a decision he could make.
However, Park Sumin had already seen their situation on the live feed in the directing truck.
She was struck silent as well.
Robbing the police...
This isn’t straying off topic now, but isn’t it a bit too audacious?
While everyone else is thinking about how to escape, how to dodge the police chase, you, on the other hand, plan to rob the police?
But Wu Mu’s words are quite sensible, and if it really comes to fruition... the show’s effect will skyrocket!
After some hesitation, Park Sumin immediately agreed to the idea and simultaneously made a phone call to report it to the higher-ups at the police department overseeing the show.
Seeing the director and editor nod, Jin Huiyan couldn’t help but feel an absurdity rising in her heart.
You guys can agree to robbing the police?
That’s too outrageous!
And...
She silently looked at Wu Mu, "You didn’t already have this in mind before coming to the comic convention, did you?"
Wu Mu nodded with a smile, "That’s the plan. Going to safe places to get supplies and clues is so slow and not secure. We rob the police and it’s much quicker."
Well, which one is actually insecure?
"So, you intentionally chose a place with lots of people to draw them in?"
Wu Mu continued to nod, "Right. By provoking them like this, the police won’t be able to resist being the first to come after us. If we just hide before the capture starts, we’ll suddenly be in the dark while they’re in the light. Later, pay attention to those asking around for news or going to the guard room or monitoring room to fetch surveillance footage - those are definitely the police involved in the capture."
This man is seriously planning a heist on the police... he’s so outrageous!
Jin Huiyan truly realized that this man is nothing like other celebrities!
Which other celebrity could come up with such an outrageous plan?
But sensing her sense of the absurd, Wu Mu continued with a smile, "Actually, if you disregard the label of ’police’ and just see them as players in the game, as normal adversaries, you can naturally think of many methods."
Quite the "player in the game."
Since the director had agreed, there wasn’t much she could say.
But there was still one issue.
"How are you going to rob the police?"
She couldn’t help commenting while looking at Wu Mu’s physique.
Though the man was tall and not skinny.
He wasn’t buff either, fitting into the category of well-proportioned, and with that face of his, he looked like the type with no real strength at all.
Could he really take on professionally trained police officers with that build?
Was he going to rob them or was he just delivering himself into their hands?
Wu Mu chuckled, "Don’t worry, I have a plan."
Yeah, actually, he could win in a fight. Don’t be fooled by his constitution of just 82 points, which is only in the range of professional athletes.
But in truth, he is much stronger than a professional athlete.
Because his scores are comprehensive, it’s not like having 82 points in speed and then dropping to 70 something in power.
His strength, speed, stamina, fitness, and so on, all fall within the range of a professional athlete.
This is a completely different concept from being skilled in just one aspect and certainly a different concept from an ordinary person.
Even though police officers are professionally trained and have learned various combat and grappling techniques... when there’s a vast difference in constitution, talking about skills is pointless. A boxer weighing a hundred pounds, unless he ambushes, is unlikely to beat a strongman weighing three to four hundred pounds.
However, this time, Wu Mu didn’t plan to rely on his physical prowess.
He had to reveal his trump cards one by one and still keep some in reserve.
This time, he would use other more convenient methods.
After confirming their next move, the two slipped back near the entrance of the comic convention.
The camera crew was hidden far away, disguised as passersby to film covertly, and Wu Mu and Jin Huiyan’s costumes allowed them to blend completely into the environment, utterly unrecognizable.
Meanwhile, Wu Mu was still browsing the small private stalls near the entrance with great interest.
But Jin Huiyan was fraught with worry.
...
"We’re here, this is the place."
The police elite squad arrived at the venue right after the apprehension effort commenced.
Five people came, and one more went to look for a suitcase.
"Captain, reports from the back say they’ve probably left the convention, it’s been a while since anyone uploaded new photos of them." A team member reported to Captain Jin Zhenghe.
"It seems they’re not completely clueless, but they haven’t been gone for long. If they’re on foot, they wouldn’t have gotten far. If they took some form of transportation, then our first step is to identify what it was."
"One group will ask for clues inside the venue, Shengxu you take outside, and Taixian and I will check the surveillance footage," Captain Jin Zhenghe organized.
We must teach these audacious criminals a lesson quickly!
