On February 10th, the headline news was about Zhao Guoxiang fleeing abroad during the Lunar New Year holiday.
After Mo Yang exited the Dream World, he immediately saw the news, including the announcement of Zhao Guoxiang’s series of criminal activities and related punishment statements.
The biggest one among them was his involvement in instructing two executives of the Moore Corporation to fabricate evidence and falsely accuse Moore’s CEO, Mo Sen, of criminal behavior. Moreover, the two executives, who were shot by Mo Yang on the spot, now carried the title of “perpetrators” with evidence linking them to Mo Sen’s previous “suicide by jumping off a building.”
Mo Yang sat quietly on the sofa, reading the news that others might have overlooked. The investigation team was indeed efficient; they had finally uncovered everything that needed to be investigated. The news also cleared his father’s name. However, Mo Yang didn’t feel happy about it.
What was there to be happy about? At best, it allowed his father to rest in peace after death, but it couldn’t undo the suffering and injustice he had endured in his lifetime.
Most importantly, his father had already passed away. Why did Zhao Guoxiang think he could escape?
Mo Yang stood up.
He was currently living in the double-story villa assigned to him by the Ninth Research Institute. As the honorary family member of Dr. Wan Mei, his safety was well assured here, and with the Disguiser Card, he wouldn’t be recognized. He thought he would be staying here for a while, but now he might have to leave for a few days.
Using a Level 2 Disguiser Card, Mo Yang left the villa and headed straight to the laboratory area where Wan Mei was currently located. The soldiers guarding the laboratory recognized Mo Yang and guided him.
When the soldier led Mo Yang to the third floor of Laboratory Building Nine and opened the door, he saw various research specimens, materials of plants and animals, and familiar seven-colored flowers resembling rainbows.
In such a large research room, there was only Wan Mei alone.
Wan Mei heard the commotion and turned his head. He was wearing a mask and a tightly fastened white lab coat. He held a very familiar dissecting scalpel with black patterns.
At first, his eyes were cold, but when he saw Mo Yang, he paused and took off his mask. “What’s wrong?” His little wife seemed emotionally unstable.
Mo Yang used his eyes to inquire whether his presence would affect the experiment. After Wan Mei nodded and let him in, Mo Yang walked through the room filled with peculiar plants until he stood beside Wan Mei. Only then did he realize that Wan Mei was researching a mass that resembled seaweed.
“I’m going away for a few days to capture someone. I’ll come back after catching the person. If there’s anything important during these days, just tell me in the Dream World.”
Wan Mei raised an eyebrow. After a brief moment of consideration, he spoke with certainty, “Are you going after Zhao Guoxiang? He has fled.”
Mo Yang smiled. It was true that smart people could quickly grasp the situation; it just depended on whether they were willing to use their intelligence.
“Hmm, my father’s case will soon be resolved. If they can’t find me, they’ll definitely go after Tang Lao and Tang Mian. I’ve completed what I wanted to accomplish up to this point.”
“Although the process didn’t go as I had expected, the outcome remains the same. As for whether I will turn myself in later, that’s not for me to say, but Zhao Guoxiang must suffer. Does he think he can escape?”
Mo Yang sneered, “I may not have the tracking ability of that old dog Song, but capturing him won’t be a problem.”
Wan Mei glanced at the seaweed in the room that had grown significantly within a minute. He made a swift cut with the scalpel, and the seaweed ceased to move, resembling a broken frame. With a furrowed brow, he finally spoke, “I’ll go with you…”
“No need.”
Mo Yang laughed. Looking at this man who was frowning tightly yet decided to accompany him to capture the person, even though he appeared reluctant, it made him feel quite cherished.
Everyone in the institute, from the director to the soldiers guarding the door, had mentioned how obsessed this person was with research. Yet, even after hearing that he was going after someone, he still decided to join him. It was truly surprising.
“We’ll see each other, right? You have to cook for me in the Dream World at mealtime. The rest of the time, focus on your own research so you won’t be itching to dissect everything you come across. That would be a disaster.”
Wan Mei looked at Mo Yang’s smiling eyes and couldn’t help but reach out and lightly touch him before expressing with a hint of grievance, “I don’t do that. I’m just conducting a small experiment. I’ve never caused environmental disasters.”
Mo Yang rolled his eyes. “Yeah, yeah, sure. I’m leaving now.”
However, Wan Mei grabbed his hand and said, “Wait, put this on before you go.”

Dr. Wan Mei concluded with a hint of pride, “I’ve already applied for a patent. It’s called the ‘Versatile Killer Bracelet’.”
Mo Yang: “…The country went to great lengths to send you to the Ninth Research Institute. Your research results are so edgy and against human nature, it’s really a headache.”
“Well, then I’m really leaving.”
Wan Mei looked at Mo Yang and said, “It’s said that when you leave home, you should kiss goodbye.”
Mo Yang smiled again, “The big boss’s research is more important.”
Dr. Wan Mei casually put down the dissecting knife and pulled his wife into his arms.
After the heart-wrenching and bone-chilling kiss ended, the big boss picked up the knife again, nodded as if he hadn’t just teased Mo Yang, and said, “Research is important. You are… a little more important.”
Mo Yang chuckled, “Thank you for your kind words! Just focus on your research and live a good life!” Even though he was a research-focused old virgin, damn, his skills were better than Mo Yang’s. It almost made him both weak and hard; how could he endure that?! He had to find time to work out, in all aspects.
Mo Yang turned around and left, while Wan Mei put his mask back on, covering the satisfied upward curve of his mouth. “Come back soon.”
“I know.”
They were both adults, so there was nothing to worry about.
While Mo Yang was investigating Zhao Guoxiang’s records with Fatty, Song Kefeng had already determined the country where Zhao Guoxiang had fled, Indonesia.
The members of the investigation team, including the team leader, received a reprimand from higher-ups. It was deemed unacceptable for someone as important as Zhao Guoxiang to escape right under their noses. Everyone on the team, including the team leader, felt remorseful. However, only Song Kefeng knew that the investigation team shouldn’t shoulder the blame. Zhao Guoxiang must have used “Invisibility Cloak Transformation Cards” or “Disguiser Cards” and similar items.
Just like that night in the forest park when he felt that Mo Yang was around, even feeling like he was in the trees, but he couldn’t see him. Or that time in the taxi, when he was certain Mo Yang was in the car, but he couldn’t detect any flaws.
All of this was due to the special props in the Dream World.
Therefore, capturing Zhao Guoxiang could only be done by Song Kefeng himself. Others might let Zhao Guoxiang escape at a critical moment. Even if Zhao Guoxiang didn’t have enough money to buy card props, for someone who committed crimes by using items from the Dream World, let him be captured by someone else who entered the Dream World.
Song Kefeng boarded the next flight to Indonesia.
Fifteen minutes later, Mo Yang also boarded the same flight. Not because Fatty and the police system were powerful, but because Tang Mian informed him through Fatty that the police had confirmed Zhao Guoxiang’s escape to Indonesia.
One of them was in economy class, while the other was in first class. They were both at ease.
Then Mo Yang pretended to rest with his eyes closed, but in reality, he was browsing the Dream World shop, looking for items.
[Host, why go through so much trouble? Why not just curse Zhao Guoxiang to death since you know his name and appearance!]
[Hey, for just 1,000 Dream Coins, you can get the reward of a fourth-level solar-powered automatic charging electric scooter obtained from the game, which never runs out of power in reality! Dream World products are absolutely amazing. The electric scooter can even surpass a supercar! Perfect for catching bad guys in the streets and alleys!]
Mo Yang hesitated for a moment, bought a white card called “Target Search Dog,” and said, “500 will do.”
006 whimpered, [Why are you haggling with me when you’re so wealthy?! Can’t you let me collect more energy and eat my fill?!]
However, Yang Heigou remained cold and ruthless, “No. Love it or leave it. Do you want it or not?”
[Whimper! I want it!] Even at 500, it still made a profit. It should have said 1,500 from the beginning.
So, while Captain Song was waiting for the Indonesian police to cooperate after getting off the plane, the big boss, riding an automatically charging solar-powered electric scooter, led a search dog that could automatically search for targets, and leisurely and swiftly went to apprehend Zhao Guoxiang.
Zhao Guoxiang lived in a villa he had bought through intermediaries in his early years. As he watched the news reports and the nationwide manhunt against him, he felt a deep sense of unwillingness.
He never expected that he would eventually fall at the hands of the nouveau riche Mo Group. He never imagined that Mo Sen, that insignificant fellow, had a father-son relationship with Tang Lao Ye (Old Master Tang), preventing him from swiftly dealing with Mo Sen.
He also never expected that Mo Sen would have such a ruthless son who was willing to implicate himself to bring him down. In an instant, this case, which would have received little attention, turned into a major investigation that needed to be thoroughly resolved. And then Minister Qi fell into a coma, and Mo Sen’s leisure-loving son implicated him, sealing his fate.
His ship had capsized at a speed he himself couldn’t anticipate.
Over the past few days, he carefully pondered the cause and effect and finally concluded that the reason for his rapid downfall was none other than the young man named Mo Yang.
Mo Yang was a meticulous and resolute individual, capable of being ruthless towards his enemies and even more ruthless towards himself.
Zhao Guoxiang regretted it a little. If he had known earlier that Mo Sen’s son was such a ruthless person, he would never have targeted Mo Group in that manner. Perhaps they could have even collaborated. But now, everything was too late.
At this point, his only hope lay in the magical “Dream World” in his mind, where he could acquire more money and power, and then regain his position at the pinnacle of authority.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Guoxiang stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the scenery outside. He was certain that he still had a chance. Just like his nephew and guide had said, this Dream World was capable of anything!
“Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!”
Lost in his thoughts about the future, Zhao Guoxiang was suddenly interrupted by a series of urgent barks. He saw a black and white Border Collie with sleek fur flowing in the wind rushing towards him, followed by a white electric scooter?
The scooter headed straight towards him and stopped just inches away from the wall he was standing against. As the young man on the scooter removed his helmet, their eyes met, leaving Zhao Guoxiang astonished and disbelieving.
“It’s you!”
Mo Yang smiled brightly, his perfectly white teeth reflecting the light. “Mr. Zhao, thank you for your previous consideration towards our Mo Group. I’ve come to send you to prison.”
Zhao Guoxiang turned to run, but then he heard the sound of glass shattering. Before he could react, someone stomped on him fiercely, almost causing him to cough up blood. “You’re Mo Yang!”
“So what? Whether I go in or not, you’re going in.”
Mo Yang glanced at the water glass on the coffee table, threw his wristband into it, and soon the wristband turned into a tough bundle of threads, securely binding Zhao Guoxiang.
At one point, Zhao Guoxiang tried to negotiate with Mo Yang, urging him not to harm each other as fugitives, but Mo Yang ignored him. Then, suddenly, Zhao Guoxiang shouted, “I have a magical treasure! If you let me go, I’ll give it to you!”
Mo Yang paused, and in the next moment, he heard 006’s excited voice: [Hahaha! He walked into the trap himself! He walked into the trap himself! Agree to let him go, Host! This is a verbal contract, and once you let him go, I can devour his guide’s power! Hahaha! This is the final benefit; he said it himself!]
Mo Yang frowned instantly. “What do you mean?” Could guides really devour each other?
Thinking that Mo Yang was interested, Zhao Guoxiang, with a runny nose and teary eyes, said, “I’m not lying! That treasure can make all your wishes come true! It’s the cause of Tang Lao Ye’s illness!”
Mo Yang’s eyes flashed with cold light as he communicated silently with 006.
‘Explain about devouring. Otherwise, forget it.’
006, eager to obtain power immediately, didn’t bother hiding anything: [Guides also require energy. Without energy, they will either die or, uh, fall into a deep sleep. So, we need Dream Coins, spiritual power, to restore our energy.]
[But the most direct way to replenish energy is through the devouring of guides’ powers. Generally, this is not allowed in the Dream World. However, this person himself mentioned a verbal contract, so I can devour his guide’s power.]
[Host, this is a win-win situation and completely harmless! Trust me! Once I devour his guide, he will never be able to enter the Dream World again! And during the devouring process, he will experience tremendous mental torment. Although he won’t become an idiot, he will suffer greatly!]
Mo Yang remained silent.
006, anxious, added fuel to the fire: [Host, don’t be softhearted! Even if you send him to prison now, as long as the Dream World exists, who knows what tricks he might pull? Moreover, devouring a guide is not equivalent to murder. Don’t hesitate! If you keep hesitating, that Song old dog with 110 will be here soon, and you won’t have time!]
Mo Yang looked at Zhao Guoxiang, thinking about his father, Tang Lao Ye, and the Dream World. In the end, he nodded.
Before agreeing to 006’s actions, he asked Zhao Guoxiang, “Where did you obtain this treasure? Don’t tell me you had it from the beginning.”
Zhao Guoxiang thought Mo Yang was about to agree, and without hesitation, he said, “My nephew, Zhao Meng, has it. Trust me, it’s definitely a treasure!”
Mo Yang nodded. “I believe you.”
Zhao Guoxiang was about to smile when suddenly a severe pain erupted in his brain.
“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!”
When Song Kefeng found Zhao Guoxiang’s residence through the Indonesian police, the first thing he saw upon entering was Zhao Guoxiang, pale and looking like a madman, lying on the sofa. He held his head, screaming in pain and weeping uncontrollably, shouting.
“Give it back! Ah! Give it back to me…”
“Return my treasure to me!”
“It hurts, my head hurts so much!”
Song Kefeng frowned and carefully surveyed the surroundings. After that, he grabbed Zhao Guoxiang and asked, “Did you see Mo Yang?! Where is he?!”
However, Zhao Guoxiang just held his head and said nothing. Meanwhile, 110 shouted in Song Kefeng’s mind: “Why are you shouting like that?! Isn’t it better that they escaped? You’ve saved enough money to repay your debt, but I still owe 100 energy points! I can’t repay it! I can’t face the boss!”
Song Kefeng: “…Shut up.”
God knows how terrible his mood was right now!
On the second day of Zhao Guoxiang’s escape, he was successfully captured and extradited back to the country. The investigation team was jubilant, while Captain Song’s face was filled with dark clouds.
That night, 110, the guide, delivered another message that worsened Captain Song’s mood.
“What did you say? Participate in the ‘Are You Happy?’ escape puzzle game in a week? Didn’t I say we would only participate in battle and clearance games from now on?”
110 innocently replied, [The escape puzzle game is also under the clearance category. It’s just solving a puzzle on the side.]
Captain Song was about to speak again when 110 quickly added, [Oh, your good friend Detective Black Cat is participating too. Can you all play together?]
[And, the players participating in this game are quite promising. Who knows, you might even encounter the great Mo Yang!]
Captain Song closed his mouth, grunted, and sighed heavily.
Little did Song Kefeng know, the Detective Black Cat and the Great Mo Yang is the same person XD
The Dream World have lots of contracts and elements involved. The deeper we get into the story, the more complicated it gets. I have a bad feeling about that devouring guide contracts.
Zhao Meng should watch out. He has been outed by his uncle now and Mo Yang knows. Dangerous! I have a feeling they will meet each other in the upcoming game!
Thank you so much for the updates! Too many! Too good! いいね！
Oh Captain Song. How to tell you … Mo Yang is such a badass even on a scooter. Yes, yes.
The most asian thing is pursuit by scooter, ahahah
