After the emergency contact with the Special Investigation Team, a Head Nurse accompanied the Bomb Disposal Team outside. The Bomb Disposal Team Leader took a deep breath, his brow furrowed, as one of his team members helped him put on the bomb suit while the others shielded them from the view of bystanders. He couldn’t help but wonder if this bomb disposal would be successful.
The Head Nurse appeared somewhat panicked but managed to maintain her composure. “Um, um, this room is still empty, so… I’m counting on you.”
The Bomb Disposal Team Leader nodded silently; he wasn’t in the mood for small talk. Once fully suited up, he picked up his toolbox and stepped inside. After one of his team members handed him an Explosive Detector, he slowly closed the door behind him.
Just as the team leader had been informed, on the left side of the room’s table lay a particularly beautiful Gift Box. Keeping a safe distance, he activated the detector and waited for what felt like an eternity, only to be surprised when the instrument showed no reaction.
What? No explosives? Was this some kind of joke?!
He couldn’t express how anxious they had been before arriving at the hospital after receiving the alert. They had been so worried about causing panic that they had hesitated to remove their bomb suits to search for any explosives inside. And now, to find that the detector indicated no explosives?
The Bomb Disposal Team Leader felt increasingly uneasy. He moved closer to the table and removed his heavy helmet. Leaning in, he pressed his ear against the Gift Box, straining to listen intently, but there was still no sound coming from inside.
Setting his helmet aside, he pulled out a small, powerful flashlight from his pocket and donned a pair of magnifying goggles. He bent down until his head was level with the table, shining the bright light onto the surface of the gift box and carefully examining it for any signs of wires or triggers.
After turning off the light and removing his goggles, he waved his hand gently above the box and leaned in closer to sniff it, but detected no chemical odors associated with explosives.
His mood darkened further as he hesitated for several minutes, stopping and starting as he attempted to open the box. Finally, he untied the bow on top. With steady hands, he lifted the lid slightly; just then, a monstrous head sprang out rapidly, knocking off the lid of the gift box.
Staring at the spring that supported the monstrous head as it bobbed unsteadily, the Bomb Disposal Team Leader didn’t feel relieved at all—only a sense of irony washed over him.
It was as if a line had been drawn through the black crow, slowly flying over his forehead, cawing strangely.
"Emotions aren't bombs! What a disappointment!"
"After all that suspense, is this it? What a letdown!"
The Bomb Disposal Team Leader slapped his forehead, taking a moment to regain his composure before reaching for his earpiece. "Report! We have located the gift box; it's a prank box with no explosives!"
What the hell? Both Zhang Yutao and the Bomb Disposal Team Leader reacted in unison—first in confusion, then in mockery, and finally, their anger boiled over.
Xu Lie was still playing tricks on them?
Zhang Yutao felt the urge to punch something, but with precious Monitoring Team computers all around him, he decided to hold back.
Taking a step back would lead to broader horizons; enduring for a moment would bring calm.
But the more he endured, the angrier he became. Zhang Yutao grabbed the communicator and switched to the team channel, shouting furiously, "Fall back!"
Upon receiving the order, three Undercover agents surrounded Xu Lie as they escorted him out through the front door of the clinic.
When they reached the parking lot, one Undercover agent took a seat in the back row, Xu Lie sat in the middle, and another Undercover agent settled on Xu Lie's left side.
As a precaution, they even put handcuffs on Xu Lie.
