The sound of the hairdryer lasted for ten minutes.

Xu Mo pressed the button to turn off the hairdryer.

"It's about time, let's go out."

However, just as he was about to leave the bathroom,

Yang Jingxuan grabbed him.

And she turned on the hairdryer again.

She knew that Xu Mo had turned on the showerhead and the hairdryer to make it sound like they were really taking a shower for the production team.

The purpose was to create the illusion that they were actually bathing for the production team.

But Xu Mo overlooked one problem.

The hairdryer was only on for ten minutes.

How could two girls dry their hair in just ten minutes when combined?

Ten minutes would at most be enough for one person to partially dry their hair.

If they go out now, the production team will definitely suspect something.

After Yang Jingxuan held him back, Xu Mo turned his head with a puzzled expression.

He saw Yang Jingxuan smiling at him.

"I can tell you're a typical straight guy. How could two girls like me and Qiaoqiao dry our hair in just ten minutes after taking a shower?"

"Let me enlighten you. It takes girls at least more than ten minutes to blow dry their hair. If we turn off the hairdryer now and go out, the production team will definitely suspect something."

Xu Mo looked at Yang Jingxuan with some surprise.

He thought that Yang Jingxuan had learned a lot during the time she spent with him.

She had actually become more observant!

"Now that's progress," Xu Mo said with a smile. "But...are you sure the production team really thinks the three of us came in here to take a shower?"

"Then what else? Isn't the bathroom for showering?" Yang Jingxuan said.

"You...oh no, I mean you guys."

Yang Jingxuan looked confused.

"What are you talking about? What's wrong with us?"

Zhou Qiaoqiao, who was next to them, glared at Xu Mo in annoyance.

Her face was slightly blushing.

Then she glanced at Yang Jingxuan.

"Jingxuan, he has already driven the car onto the highway, and you're still here dilly-dallying..."

Xu Mo meant that neither the production team nor the viewers would actually believe that the three of them were really taking a shower.

Instead, they would be applauding...

In this process, their hair would definitely get accidentally wet by the showerhead.

So it made sense to only use the hairdryer for ten minutes.

After Zhou Qiaoqiao's explanation,

Yang Jingxuan understood as well.

Like Zhou Qiaoqiao, her face turned red instantly.

Well, she had been riding a toy car at the entrance of a kindergarten while Xu Mo was speeding on the highway.

She really hadn't considered that.

They turned off the hairdryer.

The three of them walked out of the bathroom.

To avoid arousing suspicion,

they deliberately didn't remove the clothes covering the cameras.

Anyway, just by talking, they could mislead the production team.

The live studio was pitch black, nothing could be seen.

But it didn't matter since they could at least hear the voices of the three of them.

In the backstage, Song Yixue was listening intently, afraid of missing any details.

After all, the content they were discussing was very important.

If Xu Mo had any new ideas, she could continue to inform the pursuit team.

To minimize the possibility of Xu Mo successfully robbing the armored car.

Because the production team couldn't see anything,

it was much easier for the three of them to act.

Xu Mo signaled to the other two and then spoke.

"The difficulty of robbing an armored cash transport is no less than robbing a bank. If we're not careful, the investigation team might interfere. So, we need to deceive the investigators with some tricks."

As soon as Zhou Qiaoqiao saw Xu Mo's expression, she immediately understood.

"Deceive them? How should we do it?"

Then, Xu Mo revealed his 'plan'.

"Have you heard the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'? We'll make false alarms, repeatedly, so that the police mistakenly believe that we're robbing banks."

"The first time, the police will swiftly respond to the bank. The same will happen the second and third time."

"But each time, they will find nothing because we never actually went to rob the bank. Now, in this situation, what do you think the police and the investigation team will do?"

At that moment, Yang Jingxuan also joined in the discussion on misleading the production crew.

"They will lower their guard, thinking that we are playing mind games with them. They will believe that we are trying to make them relax their vigilance towards the bank, thinking that we will strike when they least expect it after several false alarms."

"So, each time we make a false alarm, they will increase personnel, and they might even have plainclothes officers lurking around the bank."

"Their focus and most of the police force will be directed towards the bank, while we, on the other hand, will seize the opportunity to rob the armored cash transport!"

As he said this, Xu Mo glanced at Zhou Qiaoqiao.

"But using virtual phone numbers to make false alarms won't be convincing. They will be suspicious... Well, since you're a hacker, why don't you hack into the bank's security system and trigger the alarm through their panic button?"

Although Xu Mo knew that Zhou Qiaoqiao didn't have the skills to hack into the bank's security system, they had been discussing this in the restroom where the production crew couldn't hear them.

Therefore, the production crew didn't know that Xu Mo was aware of Zhou Qiaoqiao's lack of such abilities.

When it comes to acting, you have to go all the way; otherwise, you might give yourself away.

Zhou Qiaoqiao understood this as well.

So, she continued to cooperate with Xu Mo and played along.

"The bank's security system... I can't hack into it. Maybe we should stick with the virtual phone number for the false alarms."

Xu Mo clicked his tongue.

"That won't be very credible. The police will have doubts... Forget it, I'll do it. Give me the computer, and I'll teach you in the process."

Xu Mo placed the computer in front of himself.

The purpose of the little act they just performed was twofold.

First, it was to continue misleading the production crew.

By using the production crew, they could pass along this false information to the investigation team.

The second point was to obtain the time it takes for the police to respond and the specific routes they take when they are dispatched to various banks.

"Pay attention, infiltrating a bank's security system is actually quite simple," Xu Mo explained while demonstrating to Zhou Qiaoqiao.

In no time, he successfully invaded the bank's security system.

He then activated the one-click alarm button connected to the bank's network, triggering an alarm.

Of course, Xu Mo didn't stop there.

He replicated the process and sequentially infiltrated the security systems of several other large-scale banks on their list, and reported the alarms.

In an instant, police stations of all sizes in Hangcheng received alarm notifications from the banks.

Since the alarms came directly from the banks, the police had no reason to doubt their authenticity.

They immediately dispatched officers.

That night, the sound of sirens echoed through every street and alley in Hangcheng.

The flashing police lights almost illuminated half the sky of Hangcheng.

The scene was truly spectacular.

At this moment, Xu Mo also hacked into the surveillance system, recording the time it took for the police to arrive at each bank and their response routes.

However, a single test was clearly not convincing enough. He needed to conduct multiple tests.

So, Xu Mo looked at Zhou Qiaoqiao.

"Have you learned it? Now it's your turn to operate."
