Seeing Xu Mu like that, Cynthia couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha!"
"Xu Mu, aren't you overdoing it a little?"
Cynthia pointed at Xu Mu's lips.
Xu Mu didn't look embarrassed at all.
He just looked at Cynthia and said helplessly,
"I don't want to do this either!"
"But what if someone recognizes me again?"
"That would cause you a lot more trouble!"
With that, Xu Mu looked at Cynthia earnestly.
Cynthia nodded at his words.
He was right. She had no desire to go through what happened last time again!
With that in mind, Cynthia said to him,
"True!"
"Then let's go!"
Cynthia took Xu Mu's hand
and led him out of the house.
They headed toward the Pokémon Contest venue.
On the way, Xu Mu saw that the venue was packed with people.
He couldn't see the front at all.

Xu Mu gave her a faint smile.
He told her,
"In a moment, this crowd will run toward the back!"
"Take that chance to get to the front!"
"I'll come find you in a bit!"
After saying that, Xu Mu darted away to the rear.
He peeled the fake mustache off his upper lip
and ran farther back.
Just then, a sharp-eyed bystander spotted him.
The man immediately shouted to everyone around him,
"Look!"
"That's Chief Xu!"
At his words, the people nearby turned toward Xu Mu.
Sure enough, it was him.
One look was all it took.
The once-calm crowd erupted.
Xu Mu heard the man too.
In fact, he'd been waiting for someone to say it.
The moment the words left the man's mouth,
Xu Mu hurried toward the back.
He didn't
