"Su Mo... is your son?"
Yang Guoming stared blankly at Su Dahai, his mind struggling to process this.
He had never heard Su Mo mention this before.
With all the recent incidents in Nancheng, Yang Guoming hadn't had time to review Su Mo's files.
He never expected that Su Mo—the recent rising star known throughout Yunhai—was actually the son of the Criminal Investigation Team captain, Su Dahai.
Not only Yang Guoming, but Chen Yumin and the others nearby were all equally incredulous.
"I didn't deliberately hide it; I just wanted to avoid any conflict of interest," Su Dahai explained with a bitter smile.
"After Su Mo graduated and started working, I never intervened."
In the system, some things have to be handled carefully. It's better for both him and Su Mo.
Hearing this, everyone present began to believe him.
After all, they shared the same surname, Su, so there was no reason to doubt it.
But then questions arose:
"If Su Mo is your son, why did you send him to certain death?"
"Don't you know how dangerous the situation is?"
Yang Guoming looked at Su Dahai with confusion.
He had long dismissed the idea that Su Dahai was framing Su Mo—no tiger would eat its own cub!
But this still didn't add up.
All eyes turned toward Su Dahai.
"I'd have to be crazy to order Su Mo to go there."
Su Dahai shook his head helplessly.
"It was Su Mo who insisted repeatedly. He said he was confident he could defuse the bomb, and after several requests, I…"
"You let him go?"
Before Su Dahai could finish, Yang Guoming interrupted passionately.
Su Dahai was silent for a moment, then, looking at Su Mo's upright figure on the monitor, he nodded firmly.
"I believe him."
...
While chaos reigned in the command center,
On the fourth floor of the Times Building, the bomb squad was intensely analyzing the complex timed bomb.
"Team leader, I'm certain this is a typical Emulsion Explosive!"
"No, if it was Emulsion Explosive, why are the test data so inconsistent?"
"This is homemade civilian explosives. Some data deviation is normal."
"Let's focus on disarming the four detonators first..."
With only about two minutes left, the bomb squad still hadn't fully identified the bomb's nature, and the complex wiring and detonation sequence were unresolved.
Everyone, including Gao Wenkang, was sweating profusely, overwhelmed by the pressure.
The bomb's maker was clearly a genius and a madman.
One slight mistake and the bomb would detonate.
This madman had created a bomb so complicated that even the entire bomb squad couldn't figure it out.
With only 90 seconds remaining,
Gao Wenkang, who was over sixty, stopped his work, knowing time was up.
The last option was to take a gamble.
"Miss, I'm afraid my skills aren't enough, and I might fail you."
Gao Wenkang looked apologetically at Liu Yuqing, who had been sitting still for half an hour to keep the bomb stable.
"Don't worry, old man. Cut bravely!"
"Even if it explodes... I won't blame you."
Liu Yuqing said calmly; she had prepared herself for death when she chose to be a criminal police officer.
Though this moment came unexpectedly, she bore no regrets.
"Alright!"
Gao Wenkang nodded and picked up the wire cutters.
At that moment, outside the monitor's view, a familiar figure appeared—
It was the missing Wang Hu.
In the monitoring room on the building's top floor,
Wang Hu watched the scene with calm eyes, confident in his bomb.
"Watching the bomb explode... that will be beautiful."
A trace of anticipation showed on his face.
As for whether the bomb would truly be defused?
Wang Hu smiled disdainfully.
Those people didn't even understand the bomb's nature—how could they succeed?
Emulsion Explosive?
His sneer deepened.
However,
Just as Wang Hu was certain the bomb would not be defused,
A young man suddenly appeared on the scene.
The monitor showed him approach the bomb, observe it briefly, and then smile lightly to those around him:
"No problem, this is a 'Powdered Emulsion Explosive.'"
The young man's first words instantly changed Wang Hu's expression—
Because he was right.
