After the commendation ceremony ended, Yang Guoming found Su Mo.
He briefly explained the matters regarding the commendations.
In short, the higher-ups had already approved it, and it was now undergoing procedures at the provincial level.
In about two months, the official documents and medals would be issued.
After a brief conversation, Su Mo began following Yang Guoming to handle some other matters.
Mainly, it involved familiarizing himself with procedural aspects of casework at the station, and learning from some experienced cases.
These were things every rookie officer had to master — Su Mo was only just getting started.
Meanwhile,
with Wang Meng arrested, the bureau and the Criminal Investigation Division began discussing how to lure Wang Hu out.
According to the clues they had gathered, Wang Meng and Wang Hu had a very close brotherly bond.
Now that Wang Meng was captured, Wang Hu would definitely not let it go easily!
Trying to rescue someone who's already been arrested is basically wishful thinking for most.
But for a madman like Wang Hu — nothing was impossible.
After several days of planning, the operation was ready for execution.
But at the same time...
Wang Hu, the man being hunted all over Yunhai City, showed up himself.
On Bolin Avenue, in front of a red light,
a man wearing a mask and cap was quietly watching the gates of the police bureau from afar.
His eyes were calm, staring silently for a long time, as if lost in thought.
On his back, he carried a medium-sized backpack.
It looked bulky — no one knew what was inside.
"Hey, are you going or not? You've been standing here forever! Can't find a color you like or something?"
A young man grumbled behind him.
"Hm?"
"Sorry, got lost in thought."
Hearing the voice, Wang Hu smiled apologetically and stepped aside.
It was hard to imagine that a gun-wielding killer could speak so politely.
After snapping back to reality,
Wang Hu took one last deep look at the police bureau's entrance, then walked toward a nearby sanitation worker.
"Auntie, could you help me with something in a little bit?"
Wang Hu smiled kindly and pulled out an envelope from his jacket.
"Auntie, in twenty minutes, could you give this to the officers at the police bureau? Just hand it to the guard and ask him to pass it to the bureau chief."
Before she could refuse, Wang Hu handed over a few hundred yuan along with the envelope.
The sanitation worker hesitated at first,
but upon seeing the red bills, she smiled and nodded:
"Oh, it's nothing, I'll handle it for you, young man."
"But I can't guarantee the letter will reach the chief.
Someone like that — not just anyone can meet him."
"No problem,"
Wang Hu smiled casually.
"Just asking for a favor. If it doesn't reach him, it doesn't. It's fine."
At first, the sanitation auntie had been a bit suspicious about what was in the envelope.
But hearing that, she just chuckled and didn't think much more of it.
Asking for a favor? That she understood.
Seeing this scene, Wang Hu smiled, then turned and hailed a cab.
"Times Building, driver..."
Times Building was the biggest shopping mall in Yunhai City, packed with shoppers every day.
The morning rush had passed, and traffic wasn't too bad.
In just ten minutes, Wang Hu arrived at his destination.
Looking up at the towering structure, Wang Hu smiled, adjusted his cap, and strode in.
He headed straight to the fourth floor, the children's playground — one of the busiest spots.
Laughter from children and praise from parents filled the air; it was packed with people.
Not far from the elevator,
a young, beautiful woman sat on a bench, writing something in a note
At that moment, a stranger's voice suddenly sounded in her ear:
"Hello miss, I think you should help me with something."
Startled, the woman frowned and looked up.
"What do you mean should help you?"
Wang Hu smiled, but his eyes were unnervingly calm.
In his right hand — no one knew when he pulled it out — he held a gun, pointed straight at the woman.
"I don't think you'll refuse. Right?"
Liu Yuqing's pupils shrank instantly at the sight of the gun.
Her left hand instinctively reached toward her waist — then froze.
She had forgotten: she was on leave, back home, and wasn't carrying her gun.
"You've got to be kidding me... what luck..."
Liu Yuqing forced a bitter smile in her heart.
She was a member of the provincial investigation team, and had just come back to Yunhai for family visits.
Who would've thought she'd run into an armed fugitive in a mall?
"I suggest you don't do anything stupid.
If you want something, it's better to sit down and talk."
After the initial shock, Liu Yuqing quickly calmed down.
She couldn't say she was fearless,
but after so long in criminal investigations, she'd grown some guts.
"Bold. I picked the right person, it seems."
Wang Hu gave her a surprised glance.
An average person would've broken down by now.
But she was still calm and talking clearly.
Not that it mattered —
No matter who it was, today... they all had to die!
With that thought, Wang Hu tossed his backpack to Liu Yuqing.
"Open the bag. You have five seconds."
"If you take longer, I'll just pick someone else."
Wang Hu's voice was calm as he began counting.
Liu Yuqing's face changed. Without hesitation, she took the backpack.
She could hear it clearly — if she delayed even one second, this lunatic would pull the trigger!
She couldn't figure out what this madman was up to.
But when she opened the bag—
her expression changed completely.
Complicated wiring. A transparent timer.
And beneath all that — a yellow block weighing at least 3 kilograms.
A bomb.
And not just any bomb — a timed bomb!
Cold sweat trickled from Liu Yuqing's forehead.
She was brave, sure — but anyone would feel fear when three kilos of explosives were placed right in front of them.
"What... what are you trying to do?"
She asked, voice trembling, eyes fixed on the man in front of her.
She had seen many criminals — but never anyone this insane.
This was Times Building!
Thousands of people were inside, and the fourth floor was filled with children!
If that bomb went off...
Just imagining the aftermath made Liu Yuqing tremble all over.
"What am I trying to do?"
Wang Hu chuckled softly.
"They took my brother. I'm just giving them a little something in return."
As he spoke, he glanced off into the distance, a mad grin tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"I think... my letter should've been delivered by now."
"You don't have much time. You better hurry."
