I deliver food in a bizarre world

That evening, the two brothers sat side by side on the living room carpet.

In front of them was a huge television screen, currently showing footage of a boss battle; the game controllers were being pressed so hard they were practically falling apart.

The live stream used a split-screen format. The main screen was the game screen on the TV, which was connected to the computer via a cable. The smaller window was the computer's webcam, which was pointed at the two of them and could also capture a portion of Chen Mo's home.

【Oh, it's Friday again? Is Xingdi here again?】

[Star Brother is here! Tonight, we're going to dominate the arena again!]

[Mo Ge doesn't seem very energetic. Did he not sleep well last night?]

[They must have been staying up all night working on something new!]

[The first few are obviously fake fans; Mo Ge played games with his fans all night yesterday!]

【Huh? We played together all night, and you didn't even include me?】

"From the left! Someone's coming from the left!"

"Give me a little milk! I'm dying!"

"Hahaha, this guy's so bad he's practically scrambling to his feet!"

Chen Xing was shouting and yelling at home.

"Keep an eye on the map," Chen Mo said helplessly while controlling his character. "Be careful, don't rush in too recklessly."

They had just finished a game around 10 p.m. and were about to start the next one when the doorbell rang abruptly.

Without turning his head, Chen Mo said to Chen Xing, "Go open the door and see if the takeout has arrived."

"It must be the barbecue I ordered!" Chen Xing jumped up, barefoot on the floor, and ran to open the door.

When the door opened, instead of a deliveryman, the two security bureau personnel who had visited the day before stood outside.

A man and a woman, one surnamed Wang and the other surnamed Li.

The two men came not in casual clothes, but in sharp uniforms, with serious expressions.

Chen Xing was taken aback: "The National Security Bureau? Who are you looking for?"

Security Bureau?

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo turned his head and saw that it was the same two people from last time. Startled, he put down the controller and walked over.

Due to its location and angle, the camera was able to capture part of the entrance hallway.

Oh, a guest?

Wow, the safety officer has already come to our door?

[Did your guest come to your door wearing a uniform?]

[What did Mo do wrong? Did he steal the old lady's takeout?]

[On the front lines of gossip!]

"Wang Anquan, Li Anquan, you've come so late, have you discovered something?" Chen Mo stood in the doorway, not inviting them in immediately.

The live stream is still running; it wouldn't be appropriate to come inside...

Officer Wang's gaze swept over Chen Xing in the room, then landed on Chen Mo: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to bother you again. Regarding the case of the three missing college students, we have some new information that we need to verify with you. We hope you can cooperate with us to go back to the station to make a detailed statement."

New situation? Do I have to go back to the station?

Chen Mo frowned; something was amiss.

Chen Xing, listening from the side, seemed a little nervous and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's wrong?"

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

[Holy crap! They're taking it away?!]

[Did Mo really get into trouble? That's impossible!]

Is it because of the three students from that night?

[No way? Really missing?]

[Holy crap, it looks like they've already met. No wonder Mo started asking about that bus!]

I watched the live stream that night; Brother Mo just said a few words to those three students!

Chen Mo looked at the two safety officers' businesslike expressions and remained silent for two seconds.

He has too many secrets to explain in a few words, and the more you try to explain, the worse it gets...

He took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Gentlemen, I am very willing to cooperate with the investigation. However, I may have some information here that you need regarding the events of that night."

He gestured for the two to come in and said, "That night, when I encountered those three students on the western suburbs road, the live stream was on. Although the camera wasn't constantly pointed at them, the whole process was recorded."

He leaned closer to the computer and said to the live stream viewers, "Friends, I need the screen recording from that night, mainly the part showing the minibus and the three students. If any of you have it, please send it to me privately. I need it urgently!"

As soon as he said that, the viewers in the live stream immediately sprang into action.

【I have it! I recorded it from beginning to end!】

【I'll switch to it right now and look for it!】

[I've sent you a private message! Please check your inbox!]

Within two minutes, Chen Mo received several private messages containing screen recordings from different time periods.

He clicked on one of them and flipped through it roughly. The contents were from when he picked up the goods until after he parted ways with the three students.

He fast-forwarded to the part where the three students got on the bus, then turned his phone screen toward the two safety officers.

"Please look, this is what happened that night."

"I only had a brief conversation with them and suggested they seek help from the authorities. Then the minibus appeared, they got on, and I left."

"The entire process was witnessed by the viewers in the live stream. As for what happened afterward, for about an hour until I returned, I didn't see them at all."

"If needed, I can ask the viewers in the live stream to continue recording."

"My interactions with them are limited to this."

The two security guards leaned closer to look at the screen.

Although the night was dimly lit, the faces and anxious expressions of the three students were clearly visible, as well as the outline of the dark red minibus that had stopped and opened its door.

Chen Mo's conversations with his students were also recorded.

The video is complete from beginning to end, recording everything from when Chen Mo first met them until he left, and the portrayal is very positive.

Wang An glanced at Chen Mo, then at the scrolling comments on the screen, and pondered for a moment.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Chen. This information is very useful."

He gestured to Li An, an officer, to record the evidence.

Then he said to Chen Mo, "We still need to conduct technical analysis on these screen recordings. We may need your assistance later, so please keep your communication channels open."

"I will definitely cooperate." Chen Mo nodded.

After seeing the two safety officers off and closing the door, the atmosphere inside immediately relaxed.

Chen Xing let out a long sigh of relief: "You scared me to death! What happened to you?"

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "One night, I went to the western suburbs to deliver some things. On the way, I met three students who got on a strange minibus and then disappeared."

Chen Xing suddenly realized: "No wonder you were checking midnight bus information!"

"Alright, stop asking about this, or you'll lose sleep over it..."

This kid is pretty smart; he took it to heart after just one glance.

He's not at an age where he doesn't understand anything anymore, and he's not so easily fooled, so Chen Mo didn't intend to hide it from him.

He tells Chen Xing one lie today, and then he'll have to tell countless more to cover it up, tormenting both others and himself. What's the point?

He glanced at his phone, which was streaming live; the chat was still buzzing with discussion.

"Alright friends, thank you all so much for your help," Chen Mo said to the camera. "That's all for tonight's live stream. After this incident, I'm not in the mood to play games anymore. Everyone get some rest, and we'll continue tomorrow."

He turned off the live stream, and the two brothers lost interest in continuing to play, so they washed up and went to bed early.

The next day, Saturday, was cloudy with a mild temperature, perfect for going out.

Chen Mo woke up very early in the morning.

He checked the weather and, in order to comfort his younger brother who had been frightened yesterday and also to relax his own tense nerves, he decided to take Chen Xing to "Star Dream Park," the largest amusement park in Jinghai City, located in the South District, for a day.
