Chapter 868: Majestic as the Great General
Gu Qiaoqiao decisively shook her head, "I'm not afraid. Can I help you with anything?"
Qin Yize didn't persuade her further. After all, Gu Qiaoqiao had single-handedly rescued him from Snow Mountain Valley. This courage and capability had already placed her on nearly the same level as him.
Moreover, given Gu Qiaoqiao's obstinacy, trying to dissuade her would certainly take some effort, and he didn't have the time for that.
He whispered, "Not for now."
Then, he swiftly crawled out from under the car, striding towards his Jeep, opening the trunk to grab his tool bag, and walked back towards An Xiaotong's car.
Halfway there, he was suddenly stopped by Chu Chengfeng and Du Tian.
Chu Chengfeng urgently said, "Ah Ze, don't go. It's too dangerous. Let's call sister-in-law back, report this, and let Public Security handle it, okay?"
Qin Yize pushed the two aside, speaking in a low voice, "You two take them to a safe distance. Trust me, it will be over soon."
After that, without further word, he strided forward towards An Xiaotong's car.
Chu Chengfeng and Du Tian exchanged a glance. They knew Qin Yize's abilities, as well as Gu Qiaoqiao's, so they hesitated no longer, retreating tens of meters back with Shang Qing and An Xiaotong.
Qin Yize approached, once again crawling under the car like earlier.
Gu Qiaoqiao was still waiting by the car.
Qin Yize picked up the tools, skillfully dismantling, but frowned when he saw the wire ends.
This was different from what he had seen before, which meant it was somewhat unconventional.
Fearing situations like this because it always unexpectedly leads to unforeseen consequences.
And this was the most dangerous.
Gu Qiaoqiao saw Qin Yize pause and leaned forward, asking in a low voice, "Qin Yize, what's wrong, is it very dangerous? If it's dangerous, we can clear the surrounding cars and let it explode on its own."
Qin Yize shook his head resolutely, "No, unless there's no other option, we can't do that."
"Why not?"
"Because it would cause public panic."
Six months ago, the chemical plant explosion still lingered in people's memories, with many not yet recovered from its shadow. If another explosion occurs now, rumors will surely spread one after another.
The country is in a phase of rebuilding; this is a critical time for development. Therefore, such matters must be handled carefully.
Seeing Qin Yize's serious expression, Gu Qiaoqiao fell silent.
After a brief pause, she asked, "Then what are you hesitating about?"
Qin Yize pointed at a flickering electronic screen with his small flashlight and said, "This is a time bomb, and these are the two wires inside. I need to cut one for the time bomb to be defused."
"And you can't determine which one right now?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked.
Qin Yize nodded, "Yes, this is different from what I've encountered before. It should be a new type of time bomb from abroad."
"Can I take a look?"
Qin Yize thought for a moment, then softly replied, "Okay."
At this moment, Qin Yize felt an inexplicable thrill in his heart.
It seemed as if at this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was going to do something remarkable, as formidable as a Great General.
