Chapter 889: Chapter 889: The Prodigal Son Demonstrates His Divine Might
Xiang Yu sat on the rooftop and thought about many places, but he didn’t find any bombs there. It was already five o’clock in the morning, and if they didn’t find them soon, there would be trouble.
At this moment, vehicles had already begun to fill the streets outside, and many early shift workers were starting their commutes.
Now, he had to force himself not to let his thoughts wander; he needed to stay clear-headed.
Time was already running out. Xiang Yu quickly went to find Gao Zhitao, who was still tinkering with his "detector" at that moment. It was clear he was also beginning to feel anxious.
Gao Zhitao knew his moment to shine had arrived and immediately took out his phone to make a call.
"Chief Huang, I have an urgent situation to report," Gao Zhitao said seriously and formally, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor.
On the other end, Chief Huang relaxed upon hearing Gao Zhitao’s voice. He knew this kid was usually up to no good and rarely had anything serious to say.
"What’s the matter? Don’t you need sleep this early in the morning?" Chief Huang asked lazily.
"I understand." Chief Huang had barely finished his dismissive words before preparing to hang up.
Previously, when Gao Zhitao called him, it was always about having meals or chasing women. Now hearing talk of bombs almost made him laugh out loud.
"Chief Huang, I’m formally informing you right now—everything I said is true. If your negligence results in significant property damage or casualties, you will bear full responsibility. I’m currently at the mall building and hope you’ll immediately bring your people here," Gao Zhitao said sharply, then hung up the phone directly.
Chief Huang was lying in bed at the time, with a beautiful young woman beside him. He froze for a while. He understood Gao Zhitao’s character and had never heard him speak in such a serious tone.
Thinking about the gravity of the matter, he realized Gao Zhitao wouldn’t joke about this and quickly climbed out of bed and dressed in his police uniform.
After calling Chief Huang, Gao Zhitao, to be cautious, made another call to the provincial bureau leadership.
Despite being only a deputy bureau chief, Gao Zhitao knew many powerful people, and his family’s influence ensured he received considerable attention from higher-ups.
After making several calls, Gao Zhitao finally felt reassured. The remaining task now was to locate the hidden bombs at this site.
Even if he couldn’t find any more, providing the first clue and organizing the evacuation of civilians would still count as a major achievement.
"Attention everyone, the area has now been sealed off. Please move back 50 meters..." someone outside began shouting instructions.
At this time, Chief Huang had also personally arrived at the scene, but he stayed inside a shiny black car from afar and didn’t step out.
This incident was brought to light by Gao Zhitao, and if it turned out to be a farce, he intended to pin all blame on Gao Zhitao.
Just then, three more cars approached from a distance.
Chief Huang caught an unintentional glimpse of them and was startled. It was the provincial bureau leadership—well, this was unexpected.
Chief Huang hurriedly stepped out of his car to greet them.
"Old leader, you came too?" Chief Huang greeted with a flattering smile.
"What’s the situation?" the man asked.
This man appeared to be around fifty years old, with a robust build and half-gray hair but sharp, penetrating eyes. He was none other than the Deputy Director of the Police Bureau—Kong Shenghui.
After receiving Gao Zhitao’s call, Kong Shenghui quickly mobilized personnel to rush here. Seeing police had already set up a perimeter blockade, he seemed rather satisfied.
Chief Huang, unaware of the actual situation inside, responded, "Zhitao is inside; he’s handling everything, so I’m unclear about the specifics."
Knowing the gravity of the matter and its potential risks to him personally, Chief Huang decided it was wisest to shift responsibility onto Gao Zhitao.
When Kong Shenghui heard this, he turned to the person next to him and said, "Deputy Director Kong, Gao Zhitao is inside," before heading toward the building.
"Chief Huang quickly advised, "The situation inside is uncertain, and there may be danger. You really shouldn’t go in..."
Kong Shenghui ignored him and continued forward. Gao Zhitao was the grandson of his old mentor, and if anything happened to him inside, he wouldn’t know how to explain it.
By now, bomb disposal police had begun arriving on-site, surrounding Kong Shenghui as he walked inside.
At that moment, Gao Zhitao had just come down from the higher floors. Recognizing Kong Shenghui as the leader, he immediately walked over and saluted.
"Don’t bother with these formalities; hurry back," Kong Shenghui said with a furrowed brow.
A surge of warmth rose in Gao Zhitao’s heart. He understood that the man cared for his safety.
"Uncle Kong, I’m fine. Look, I’ve already defused two bombs here, and there are two more in my car that I’ve already dealt with," Gao Zhitao declared with pride. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
All the police officers at the scene couldn’t help but glance at Gao Zhitao in disbelief. Normally, this guy was just a rich playboy, known for nothing but womanizing and idleness. Today, hearing he’d defused four bombs was so startling it felt surreal.
Even Kong Shenghui was surprised. He was familiar with Gao Zhitao’s usual behavior, so today’s actions truly caught him off guard.
At this time, the bomb squad had gone over to inspect the devices. Within minutes, someone rushed over to report, "The bombs are powerful, but we’ve confirmed they’ve been defused."
Hearing this, Kong Shenghui’s gaze softened. He patted Gao Zhitao on the shoulder and said, "Well done. Since all bombs have been dealt with, let’s wrap it up here."
"No," Gao Zhitao responded firmly. "According to my informant, there’s still one more bomb hidden here."
Hearing this prompted commotion among the crowd. Was there really another bomb still active? That meant potential danger remained, possibly threatening lives.
"Is this source reliable?" Kong Shenghui asked.
While Gao Zhitao couldn’t be sure about the reliability, he trusted Xiang Yu. Since Xiang Yu claimed there was one more bomb, then there had to be one.
He quickly nodded and replied, "Absolutely."
Kong Shenghui nodded back and said, "You’ve already defused four bombs, which is commendable. Let the professionals handle the rest..."
