The heavy metal handcuffs made Xu Lie's wrist ache a bit. "I told you, if I'm not feeling well, you won't find out where the bomb is hidden."
"Huh?" Earlier, when facing off against Xu Lie, Xiao Duan of the Plainclothes Team wanted to retort, attempting to scold Xu Lie for his bluster and vent some inner frustration.
Suddenly, an urgent report came through the earpiece from Team Leader Zhang Yutao regarding Ancheng's Gene Repository: there was an explosion!
The audience could hear the anxious voices coming through the earpieces of the Plainclothes Team.
"What’s going on? How did the Ancheng Cold Storage blow up too?!"
"Is this a diversion? A trick? Are they trying to mislead us?"
"Wow, Xu Lie has even pulled out military tactics on the Special Investigation Team, huh?"
Not only was Team Leader Zhang Yutao on edge, but Xiao Duan was also about to lose his cool. He had never encountered such audacious criminals: you planted a bomb in the cold storage and then came over to the General Hospital?!
"Just come clean!"
Xu Lie acted as if nothing was wrong. If it weren't for the cramped space in the car, he would have kicked back in the back seat. "Come clean about what? Haven't I already said it all?"
"Didn't I tell you right after I left the outpatient department that if I felt even slightly unwell, I wouldn't inform you about the bomb's hiding place?"
Xiao Duan was confused, but Xu Lieming had clearly stated the specific location of that Gift Box. The Bomb Disposal Team Leader was still sulking, claiming it was just a prank box and not a bomb.
In that moment, Xiao Duan finally realized: he wouldn’t reveal the bomb's hiding place. Moreover, since the Gift Box didn’t contain a bomb, its specific location could be disclosed.
This guy is playing word games?! Setting a linguistic trap?!
Xiao Duan felt an impulse to draw his gun and take out Xu Lie. Just then, an urgent command came through his earpiece from Zhang Yutao: "Xiao Duan, unlock the handcuffs."
Zhang Yutao wasn’t foolish; he knew that escalating tensions at this moment would be pointless. It was rare to have captured Xu Lie; they still needed to bring him to court for a public trial. He had to remind himself that this was Xu Lie's scheme to provoke the Special Investigation Team and evade judgment.
After unlocking the cuffs, he added a note and handed an earpiece to Xu Lie to wear.
Zhang Yutao had intended to wait for the Plainclothes Team to escort Xu Lie back before discussing further matters, but now there was no time to wait; he was anxious!
Xiao Duan wanted to argue, wanted to refuse, but Discipline had long been ingrained in him. He could only remain silent as he helped Xu Lie remove the handcuffs.
He smoothly took off the headphones and handed them to Xu Lie.
Xu Lie flexed his wrists before taking the headphones and putting them on. "What do you call yourself?"
"I am Zhang Yutao, the leader of the Special Investigation Team responsible for this case."
"Oh, Captain Zhang," Xu Lie said with a hint of mockery. "I apologize; the hospital's Gift Box was just a little game. Please understand, I’ve never played games since I was a child."
Zhang Yutao, already struggling to contain his anger, felt like punching Xu Lie in the face!
"A game? You call this a game?!"
Calm down, calm down, Xu Lie thought, attempting to provoke him. He could not let this cunning criminal succeed!
Only those with a unique perspective could resonate with Xu Lie.
"Well, thinking about it, it’s true. He has been self-studying so many subjects since childhood. While other kids were playing around, he had to study hard; it must have been tough for him."
"Xu Lie clearly said this with a smile, yet I felt a pang of sympathy for him. Come here, let me give you a hug."
"In conclusion, it is indeed just a little game—there are no bombs, just a small prank box that at most made the Bomb Disposal Team tense for a while."
