450: Chapter 450: Confrontation 450: Chapter 450: Confrontation “Not too shabby, quite impressive, quite the talent.
You even managed to defuse the bomb I planted.
Hmph, do you really think I’m going to fall into your hands today?” The criminal’s face still showed no hint of fear, only madness.
It seemed he truly regarded life and death with indifference, totally reckless.
It’s not fear that’s frightening, it’s when someone is indifferent to their own life.
Seeing the criminal still composed, Tangyu realized he must have a backup plan, “You are indeed going to fall here today.
Otherwise, did you think you’d leave this place alive?
I might agree, but they certainly won’t.”
“Boss, why waste words with this guy?
Just get someone to take him out.
He even dared to scare me with the bomb controller earlier.
If I knew it was useless, I would’ve just killed him on the spot,” Lengzi said with slight irritation.
“Boss, it’s not good, they’ve tied a mini bomb in between them,” Xiaoyu suddenly came over and said.
Frowning, Tangyu immediately ran over to Lin Feifei’s side and discovered a mini bomb the size of a cigarette pack tied between her and Wang Ba.
Although it was mini-sized, one mustn’t underestimate the bomb’s power – it was probably enough to flatten the stadium.
Killing the two of them would be even easier.
The bomb was connected to the pair with several fine wires, some as thin as hair strands, tightly bound to Lin Feifei and Wang Ba.
Attempting to untangle those wires could potentially set off the bomb.
Wang Ba’s face was deathly pale with fright, and he looked somewhat foolishly at Tangyu, his expression indescribably odd.
Lin Feifei looked at him, her eyes shimmering like the ocean, full of deep emotion.
She bit her lip gently; she knew Tangyu would come to save her, so she wasn’t scared at all.
After carefully examining the bomb, Tangyu felt a bit of a headache, but it was still disarmable; it would just take a bit more time and effort than usual.
“No one move,” Tangyu commanded, mainly directing it at Wang Ba.
Lengzi charged over, lifted the criminal up, and barked, “Hurry up and disarm that bomb, or else I’ll take you apart.”
“Hmph, big guy, you’re quite strong, huh?
If you can, try tearing me apart first,” the criminal man said with no concern for Lengzi’s threat.
The criminal man looked at Tangyu and chuckled coldly, “Aren’t you an explosives expert?
Go ahead and defuse it.
Ha-ha, I’ll tell you the truth, this bomb is my proud creation, only I can disarm it.
There isn’t much time left, in a few more minutes, if I haven’t disarmed it, then not even immortals could save them.
Ha-ha, I’d very much welcome you all to stay; let’s die together, having so many people join me in death would make it worth it.”
“Tangyu, should I ask Director Huo Ting to call in a bomb disposal expert?” Song Qingyu asked.
Tangyu shook his head, “No need, there’s no time.”
“Hmph, looks like it’s too late.
If you don’t want them to die, it’s simple, get a helicopter here right now,” the criminal mocked with a sneer.
“Hmph, keep dreaming,” Tangyu said with a cold smile, giving him a glance.
The criminal man’s face twisted into a ferocious snarl, “Then let’s die together.”
“It’s you who will die alone,” Tangyu said and then ignored the criminal to approach Lin Feifei, instructing Song Qingyu and the others, “Back off a bit.”
Seeing Tangyu about to try defusing the bomb, Song Qingyu asked with some worry, “Tangyu, can you do it?
Don’t mess around if you can’t?”
Tangyu glanced at Song Qingyu and replied, “Don’t worry, I’m somewhat confident.
If I can’t handle it, even a bomb disposal expert would be useless.”
Wang Ba trembled all over, looking at Tangyu with a fearful and worried expression, and spoke weakly, “You’re going to save me, right?”
“I’m not saving you; you’re not worth saving to me.
I’m just saving Lin Feifei,” Tangyu stated.
Wang Ba was even more terrified and begged for mercy, “Tangyu, no, Brother Yu, please save me.
I swear I’ll never mess with you again, I’ll call you ‘brother’ whenever I see you and stay far away from you.
I was wrong before, I apologize to you.
I don’t want to die yet, please save me, Brother Yu.
I can give you money, as much as you want, just name your price.”
“Are you an idiot?
If he saves me, he naturally saves you too,” Lin Feifei scornfully scolded, “For a big guy, you’re as timid as a mouse, and you call yourself the boss of Linshan Middle School?
More like a bug, to be honest.”
“Alright, nobody move, I’m starting the bomb disposal.” Tangyu said, with a grave and authoritative face.
Wang Ba couldn’t help but say, “Brother Yu, be careful, my life is in your hands.”
Tangyu dared not be the slightest bit careless, his fingers slowly moving towards the wires on the bomb.
Everyone knew that such bombs typically have a main wire that could stop the timer, and cutting it would disable the timer, effectively rendering the time bomb useless.
The timer’s function was to detonate the bomb automatically once time was up.
By destroying the timer, the bomb naturally wouldn’t explode.
The time bomb was covered with a thick tangle of wires, easily numbering over fifty to sixty, in all sorts of colors, which could dazzle anyone’s eyes.
Besides these visible wires, Tangyu also discovered some hidden wires, nearly imperceptible unless one looked closely, as thin as strands of hair made from copper.
With so many wires, Tangyu couldn’t immediately discern which was the one to cut to disable the timer.
A wrong touch, and the bomb would detonate.
The others watched Tangyu with nervous tension; a failed bomb disposal by Tangyu would mean death for them.
The rescued students also covered their mouths, their eyes wide open as they watched, trying not to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Tangyu.
Tangyu activated his Pure Yang Qi, using his hands to sense each and every wire.
He was determining which was the control wire for the timer based on the electrical current in the wires—an ability others lacked but Tangyu possessed.
This skill made Tangyu extremely formidable at bomb disposal.
If there had been fewer wires, Tangyu would have found the control wire much sooner.
But there were too many, all bunched together tightly, so it was quite troublesome to locate the right one.
After more than a minute of searching, Tangyu still hadn’t found the control wire, which made his brows furrow.
The others grew even more nervous.
The crook’s sneer intensified; he couldn’t believe that anyone else in the world besides him could defuse this bomb.
“Why should I look for the control wire when I can use Pure Yang Power and Dark Force to strike directly and destroy the whole circuit of this controller?” Tangyu suddenly thought, his lips curling into a sly smile.
This capability was impossible for others, so such a method of bomb disposal was beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
However, for Tangyu, this was something plausible.
Tangyu went straight to the timer and, using the Pure Yang Qi, struck it with his Dark Force, destroying the timer.
The numbers that had been ticking on it stopped instantly, and soon, even the screen went dark.
Tangyu yanked forcefully, tearing off all the wires, startling many onlookers.
However, upon seeing that the bomb didn’t explode, the crowd finally calmed down.
Tangyu casually tossed the bomb to a member of the special assault police team and then turned to look at the crook.
The crook’s face was completely frozen solid; in his eyes that looked at Tangyu was inscribed utter disbelief.
Lin Feifei stood up from her chair and came to Tangyu’s side, looking at him.
Wang Ba also hurried away from his chair, examined his body, and a trace of laughter appeared on his face, “I’m okay, I’m okay, it’s wonderful.
How could I possibly die?”
“Impossible, how did you do it?
This simply can’t be.” The crook still couldn’t believe what he was seeing and was truly perplexed about how Tangyu did it.
Not just him, even Song Qingyu and the members of the special assault team were utterly baffled, not understanding Tangyu’s method—it was too miraculous.
Tangyu said, “There’s nothing impossible.
What you think is impossible is only impossible for you, not necessarily for others.
So in life, don’t be too confident, or you’ll only be looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.
Now, do you have anything else to say?
Or, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?”
The crook was silent for a moment, then sneered sinisterly again, “Humph, tricks, I don’t need them anymore.
All my plans here have been foiled by you.
Good, very good, extremely good.
You are the most formidable person I’ve ever met.
Today’s defeat, I only lose to you, not to the Donglin City police.
Those useless cops, I never took them seriously.
But you, you do impress me.
Now, I’d like to know, by whom have I been defeated?”
“Tangyu.” Tangyu replied.
“Tangyu, huh, what a refined name.
You look refined, too, and at such a young age to possess such a skill, not bad at all—you’re definitely a promising youth.
The victor’s king and the loser’s bandit, I came here not planning to return alive.
Death is nothing to me.
I can give up my life, so what else do you think I need to say?
Stop wasting words, take action, give me a swift end,” the crook said.
Tangyu sneered, “I know you’ve completed your task, this place is not your real target.
You’re not one of the Three Tigers, you’re just a sharp sword.
Here is just a ruse, right?
If I guess correctly, your main force should be attacking Heishan Prison to rescue Big Tiger, right?
It’s a pity that your wishful thinking didn’t work out.
Do you really take people for fools?
To tell you the truth, that place has been prepared for a long time, your main force will be walking into their doom.”
Upon hearing Tangyu’s words, the crook’s expression instantly became agitated, his face contorted with fury as he glared at Tangyu, his eyes flickering unpredictably.
His admiration for Tangyu, earlier for his abilities, now transformed into respect for his wisdom, having discerned the plans orchestrated by the second and third in command in advance.
Such a flawless plan, unexpectedly foiled.
Taking people to attack Heishan Prison in order to rescue the Big Boss was planned by the third in command, with the second in command waiting outside Donglin City for the rendezvous.
If it was really as the other party said, then this mission was doomed to fail.
Despicable, and lamentable.
Then suddenly, a crazed look flickered in the crook’s eyes as he lunged towards Tangyu like a madman.
But before he could act, Lengzi grabbed him, flinging him out forcefully, and fired two shots, killing the crook instantly on the spot.
