The heavy metal handcuffs were causing Xu Lie's wrist bones to ache. "I've said it before, if I'm not feeling well, you won't get a whiff of where the bomb is hidden."
"Huh?" Plainclothes Duan, who had been confronting Xu Lie earlier, wanted to retort, attempting to scold him for his bravado as a way to vent his inner frustration.
However, just then, the urgent report from Team Leader Zhang Yutao crackled through the earpiece: "Ancheng Gene Cold Storage has exploded!"
The audience could hear the anxious voices coming through the earpieces of the undercover agents.
"What’s going on? How did the cold storage in Ancheng blow up too?!"
"Is this a diversion? A trick? A feigned retreat?"
"Wow, Xu Lie has really pulled out all the stops against the Special Investigation Team, hasn’t he?"
Not only was Team Leader Zhang Yutao on edge, but Plainclothes Duan was also close to losing his cool. He had never encountered such audacity in a criminal: planting a bomb in the cold storage before heading over to the General Hospital?!
"Spill it!"
Xu Lie remained unfazed. If it weren't for the cramped space of the car, he would have kicked back and relaxed in the back seat. "What should I confess?"
Haven't I already told you everything I needed to? Didn't I inform you right after leaving the outpatient department that if I felt even slightly unwell, I wouldn't disclose the bomb's hiding place?
You! Xiao Duan was completely baffled, yet Xu Lie had indeed accurately described the specific location of that Gift Box.
The Bomb Disposal Team Leader was fuming, complaining that it was just a prank box and not an actual bomb.
In the next moment, Xiao Duan finally grasped it.
He wouldn’t reveal the bomb's hiding place. Moreover, since the Gift Box didn’t contain a bomb, he could talk about its specific location.
Is this guy playing word games? Setting a linguistic trap?!
Xiao Duan felt an overwhelming impulse to pull out his gun and take out Xu Lie right then and there. Fortunately, just in time, Zhang Yutao's command came through the earpiece, suppressing his anger: "Xiao Duan, unlock the handcuffs."
Zhang Yutao wasn’t foolish; he knew that escalating tensions at this moment would lead nowhere. They had finally managed to apprehend Xu Lie and still needed to bring him to court for trial. He could only remind himself that this was Xu Lie's ploy to provoke the Special Investigation Team into anger so he could evade judgment.
After issuing the order to unlock him, he added that they should give Xu Lie an earpiece to wear.
Zhang Yutao had intended to wait for the undercovers to escort Xu Lie back before having a proper discussion, but now he couldn’t afford to wait any longer; he was anxious!
Xiao Duan wanted to argue, wanted to refuse, but discipline was ingrained in his bones. He could only remain silent as he unlocked the handcuffs from Xu Lie.
He casually removed the headphones and handed them to Xu Lie.
Xu Lie first flexed his wrists before taking the headphones and putting them on. "Hello, what should I call you?"
"I am the Special Investigation Team Leader, Zhang Yutao."
"Oh, Captain Zhang, my apologies. The hospital's Gift Box was just a little game. Please understand; I'm just a boy who has never played games since childhood."
Zhang Yutao, already suppressing his anger, felt like punching Xu Lie in the face!
"A game? You call this a game?!"
"Calm down, calm down," Xu Lie attempted to provoke him. He absolutely could not let this cunning criminal succeed!
Only the uniquely perceptive audience could resonate with Xu Lie.
"Well, thinking about it, he has worked hard to self-study so many subjects since childhood. While other kids were playing around, he could only study hard. It’s not easy for him."
"Xu Lie said this with a smile, yet my heart aches for him. Come here, let me give you a hug."
"From a results-oriented perspective, it really was just a little game. There were no bombs, just a small prank box that at most made the Bomb Disposal Team a bit nervous."
