At the entrance of Times Building.
"Su Mo, go inside the building to assist the Criminal Investigation Team and evacuate the crowd as quickly as possible."
"Remember, this operation is under the command of the Criminal Investigation Team—do not act on your own!"
After getting out of the car, Yang Guoming quickly gave Su Mo a brief order.
Today's joint law enforcement was very different from the last time.
This involved dangerous suspects, so it was directly managed by the Criminal Investigation Team.
The regular police were only there to assist.
After all, the Criminal Investigation Team were the true experts in handling such situations.
Yang Guoming was about to turn and leave to the temporary command post to coordinate with higher-ups.
However,
Before Yang Guoming could walk away, Su Mo hesitated and spoke up:
"Sir, actually... I know a bit about bombs."
"If you need help, I think I could contribute."
Su Mo didn't want to overstate himself.
If he forced it, like last time, he'd be accused of reckless bravery again.
Besides, Yunhai City had its own bomb disposal squad, so he wasn't even sure they would need him.
But just in case...
After all, this was about the safety of many civilians.
"You know something about bombs?"
Yang Guoming turned back, chuckling somewhat sarcastically:
"What? Did your police academy teach you how to defuse bombs?"
"Go, go, go, hurry up and cooperate with the Criminal Investigation Team."
After speaking, Yang Guoming quickly walked away.
As for Su Mo's words, he didn't believe a single one.
A bit of knowledge about bombs?
He knew when a bomb exploded, it made a boom sound.
He understood bombs caused huge casualties.
But was that "understanding bombs"?
No!
That was just nonsense!
Yang Guoming shook his head and soon forgot about it.
Su Mo opened his mouth to say more, but ultimately swallowed his words.
"Forget it, let me first see how things go. If it's no good, I'll ask my dad later."
Shaking his head, Su Mo headed toward the Criminal Investigation Team members.
He still didn't know the full situation.
What if the bomb squad had already defused the bomb?
Then he would be taking credit for nothing.
Better to assess the situation first.
Meanwhile,
Inside the temporary command post.
After Gao Wenkang said those four words, the atmosphere instantly froze to a chilling stillness.
Everyone's faces showed ugly expressions of distress.
"No confidence!"
In other words, there was no way to safely defuse the bomb.
The bomb could explode at any moment.
And there were only five minutes left!
"Leader... we should pull back the bomb squad!"
Someone spoke hesitantly.
At this point, leaving the bomb squad there only risked more lives.
Better to retreat...
"Retreat?"
Chen Yumin snapped angrily:
"Not everyone has evacuated the building!"
"There's still a young girl trapped by the bomb waiting for rescue!"
"And Wang Hu is somewhere out there, probably watching and laughing at us!"
"You want me to retreat now?"
His face darkened with anger as he said:
"If we retreat, how do I explain to the people?"
"How do I explain to those who didn't get out in time and are waiting desperately for government rescue?"
"We are the people's police!"
"Now is the time to stand up!"
"Are you asking me to watch them die and then run away?"
Chen Yumin's chest heaved, eyes filled with a mix of anger and disappointment.
The person who had suggested retreat now looked deeply ashamed.
After hearing Chen's words, he realized how wrong he was.
As the people's police,
Danger doesn't mean retreat!
It means facing fear head-on, overcoming it, conquering it!
Even if the outcome is despair, it's the police who must face it first!
Because
They are the police!
"Tell Gao Wenkang, keep going even without confidence!"
"Once the correct wire is confirmed, I will cut it myself!"
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yumin's face calmed:
"I can die, but I cannot let the people lose faith in the word 'police'!"
At these words, many in the room were moved to tears.
At the other end of the radio, Gao Wenkang also heard this.
"Leader, this is my mistake!"
"Since it's a bomb, it's the bomb squad's responsibility!"
"We don't need anyone's help!"
"Even if the judgment is wrong, it's my squad that must bear the blame!"
With that, Gao Wenkang and his team resumed their frantic work on the video feed.
They had to decide in these last five minutes which wire to cut.
Cut the right one — survival!
Cut the wrong one — death!
If they made a mistake, they would have to answer to the people below after.
This was the bomb squad's heavy burden.
They had already decided they were ready to die!
No one in the command post spoke, all silently watching the busy bomb squad.
They wanted to help, but had no power.
This wasn't like arresting criminals, where courage and recklessness could succeed.
Defusing bombs required extreme expertise and extensive experience.
They had none.
All they could do was silently cheer for the bomb squad.
Su Dahai sighed deeply and walked out of the command post.
He disliked feeling powerless.
He hated the suffocating tension.
There were still five minutes left — so fight for those last five minutes!
Even if they saved just one more person, it would be worth it!
So,
Su Dahai stepped out to take a look at the scene.
However,
As Su Dahai exited, he saw Su Mo approaching.
Having understood the situation, Su Mo's first words to Su Dahai were:
"Let me go in!"
"I can defuse that bomb!"
Su Mo's voice was firm, his face radiating confidence.
For the safety of the people, at this moment, Su Mo would not be denied!
