This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 376 - 302: Must Make a Strong Move!_2

Wu Mu chuckled and nodded, "Sure."

After handing the notebook to a passerby, Wu Mu turned to the director, "Director, replacing a notebook with a mirror should be reasonable, right?"

The director withdrew the words already on the tip of his tongue, looked at Wu Mu’s smiling face, and then at the mirror in his hand, and after two seconds of silence, "...reasonable."

Stop playing around, stop playing around!

You’re gonna break all the rules!

You just have to exploit every loophole in the rules, always scheming to get items, huh?

Can’t you just follow the plan laid out by the production team and grab supplies safely?

Jin Huiyan was at her wit’s end, realizing just how naive her previous thoughts were.

This guy is a black hole in the show.

No, still a show black hole, just the kind that blinds you!

Jin Huiyan wasn’t sure how this would come across to the audience, whether they’d find him too flashy, but she had to admit, these tactics were indeed something completely new.

Just...

Seeing him handing over the mirror again, asking her to sign and write a blessing on the back, Jin Huiyan couldn’t help but say, "Since we’re supposed to exchange items of roughly equal value, why do you still need my autograph and blessing?"

Wu Mu matter-of-factly said, "It makes people feel the value, you know? If it’s just exchanging a notebook for a mirror, it’s hard to precisely assess the value of the two, and there might even be some controversy. But with your signature, it seems like a great deal, and it’s less likely to get complaints when aired."

Hmm, there’s also the implied effect of psychologically increasing the item’s worth, easier to price it higher, and then subconsciously, the items people bring out for a trade get a boost in value too.

"Then why my signature, not yours?" Jin Huiyan blushed slightly and felt weird thinking about how Wu Mu had just praised her as a superstar and national goddess.

Wu Mu spoke the truth, "I’m not famous in South Korea, no one knows me, and using my own signature would just look like I’m full of myself, like I’m some big deal. Praising you doesn’t have that problem. Once the episode airs, people might even think I respect my teammate."

...You make a good point.

But...

"By saying that, wouldn’t signing it myself seem like I really think I’m a big deal?" Jin Huiyan said speechlessly.

Wu Mu smiled and waved his hand, "No worries, just tell the audience I forced you to."

This guy is so infuriating!

As Wu Mu strolled around the venue, he casually traded items in his hands with others.

A mirror for a small doll, a small doll for an original fan-made comic book...

All seemed like perfectly normal, faultless exchanges.

You couldn’t say Wu Mu was taking advantage of anyone.

But as he continued trading, a comic book for Bluetooth earphones, Bluetooth earphones for a small box of branded makeup puffs, a small box of branded makeup puffs for a second-hand instant camera, the instant camera for a cosplay sword...

A cosplay sword for a cosplay outfit, a cosplay outfit for a rare figurine...

Stop trading, stop trading, you’re going to own the whole venue soon!

The director watched as the item changed hands over and over, each time Wu Mu subtly increasing its value, completely dumbfounded.

And Wu Mu, looking at the rare figurine in his hands, felt it was about time.

He quietly took the figurine and approached two people in the venue...

...

"Such arrogant criminals must be met with a heavy hand!"

The police monitoring the guests’ movements at the headquarters were infuriated.

And naturally, the person they said had to be dealt with a heavy hand was Wu Mu.

Though they couldn’t act for the first two hours, they could still gather information.

The elite squad of the Busan City police, responsible for this capture operation, was closely monitoring the movements of the guests.

Other guests, as they had expected, were all thinking about finding supplies and hiding as soon as possible.

Most of the guests hadn’t even realized that their phone location was being monitored—their positions blatantly exposed in the eyes of the police.

Yet, three of the guests, though they thought of it, kept their phones turned off.

They hadn’t paid attention to the early warning about a mole within the program, unaware that the police had partial information about the safety spots and had also set up tight surveillance near those spots, indirectly controlling the situation.

Watching these guests, like rats trying to find hiding spots yet still unable to escape their surveillance, the elite squad was filled with a psychological advantage.

But there were two people...

"This Wu Mu and Jin Huiyan are really not taking us seriously!"

Wu Mu and Jin Huiyan’s movements were actually well-known by the elite squad, as their social media was awash with updates, almost like a real-time live broadcast!

Going to a crowded comic expo?

And having so much fun?

Smiling so brightly in the photos?

What does this mean!?

Isn’t this blatantly ignoring them, not taking them seriously?

If these were real criminals, it would be equivalent to publicly posting crime photos on social media, taunting the police.

Moreover, the audacity of that person running back to the hotel in front of their colleagues earlier had made the team members feel this was excessively arrogant.

The captain of the elite squad in charge of the operation, Jin Zhenghe, grimaced, checking the time, "In twenty minutes, we’ll begin the capture." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"When the capture starts later, we’ll split into three groups to arrest him first, Zhichang, you guys go to Song Zhengguo’s location. Song Zhengguo is currently the least guarded, see if there’s a chance to catch him at once."

The division of three groups to catch Wu Mu alone showed how his arrogant actions had kindled their anger.

But there was a problem with arresting Wu Mu.

A team member hesitated, asking, "What about their suitcases? According to the hotel staff, they should have hidden the suitcases there. This is confirmed by the fact that they weren’t seen with them at the comic expo."

The guests’ suitcases, once acquired by the police, would mean immediate failure and elimination from the task.

If they could get the suitcases directly, it would undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.

"Yes, and their phones, that Wu Mu’s phone location showed him in Haiyun District earlier, but then his person was at the comic expo—there might be some issue there. Do we need to send someone else to check it out?" another team member asked.

Wu Mu had previously swapped phones with that female car owner, specifically telling her that the phone number might have been tracked but to not change it until after today and to intermittently turn it on.

Captain Jin Zhenghe considered for a moment, "Xinyang, go to the hotel and see what you can find, pull up the hotel’s surveillance and check it. As for the phone, Haiyun District is too far, and since it’s only turned on occasionally, it’s hard to track, and the matter is quite strange. Let’s not handle it now, we’ll see how things unfold later."

Jin Zhenghe was planning the upcoming capture operation and hadn’t forgotten, "That Wu Mu, I feel something is off about him, his behavior seems strange. Everyone, be careful during the arrest and review his data again, memorize his information."

The team members followed the orders and reviewed the information.

A big star from Hua Country, highly famous there, likes to play games, seeks to enhance show effects, physically weak, many instances of sickness reported online...

Actually, there wasn’t much to look at.

Although the records documented his numerous fans and impressive singing career.

But these traits, from a criminal perspective, were all demerits.

Just a delicate, young star.

No matter the identity, their officers could easily overpower him, reducing him to tears with a single punch.

Their main concern was that these people could completely hide away and play a game of hide and seek, where their numerical advantage couldn’t be used, making the arrest slightly challenging.

And yet, this person had blatantly exposed himself.

No matter how many tactical moves he made, it couldn’t cover the strategic errors they made!
