Chapter 66 Chapter 66
Qi Mengyao moved towards the crowd helplessly.
But every time she moved forward, the people around her would disperse, fearing that she would get even a little bit closer to them.
There would even be a burst of discussion from time to time.
"It's Qi Mengyao!"
"What's that on her neck? Why are the numbers moving?"
"A bomb! It's a bomb!"
“Run!”
In an instant, the entire venue fell into an unexpected chaos, with screams and cries pouring out of the door.
Lu Jianing and He Qifeng finally squeezed out of the crowd. They looked up in panic at Qi Mengyao who was struggling hard.
The two looked at each other, then rushed forward in tacit understanding.
It was not until He Qifeng approached that Qi Mengyao felt like she had seen a life-saving straw.
He Qifeng pulled the cloth out of her mouth.
"Captain He..." Qi Mengyao's eyes were filled with tears, like a frightened kitten, her expression was helpless and full of fear.
He Qifeng walked forward and carefully observed the bomb timer on Qi Mengyao's neck.
Noticing that Qi Mengyao's body couldn't stop shaking, He Qifeng raised his eyes and stared at Qi Mengyao: "Relax..."
Qi Mengyao nodded stiffly, as if to make a promise: "Yes!"
Lu Jianing approached with her phone in hand and checked it again and again. She said anxiously, "Master, someone has blocked the signal. The call cannot be made."
Before He Qifeng could answer, someone in the crowd shouted heartbreakingly, "Ah—who the hell locked the door!"
"The door is locked... How could it be locked..."
"The balcony door is locked, too!"
"Shit, Qi Mengyao has a bomb on her and the door is locked. Who wants to kill us?"
"Help me, I don't want to die."
"I can't even get through to the police station. Are we really going to die here?"
He Qifeng glanced at the crowd and said, "Don't worry about it for now. Do you have any tools?"
"have."
Seeing the number of bombs increasing faster and faster, Lu Jianing quickly lifted the hem of her skirt.
The calf was exposed, which was filled with various tools, including flat, round, and plum-shaped tools.
He Qifeng, who was busy, looked at Lu Jianing in shock.
"Lu Jianing, how did you bring these controlled knives in? Didn't the security guards at the door check you?!" Qi Mengyao asked in shock.
Lu Jianing pulled out a small Phillips screwdriver from his leg and handed it to He Qifeng: "In the imperial capital, if they want to investigate me, I'm afraid they don't have the courage to do so."
At this time, He Qifeng had already used the tools she provided to remove the bomb's display.
Lu Jianing leaned over to look and said, "Looking at the alignment, it shouldn't be that difficult. If you can't do it, I can do it."
"Let me do it." He Qifeng responded silently.
Lu Jianing, who was carefully observing the route, said: "Okay."
"Lu Jianing, get out of here. I don't need your help even if I die." Qi Mengyao threatened.
"You're about to be blown up by a bomb, yet you still have the nerve to show off to me," Lu Jianing said jokingly while expertly helping He Qifeng pick the line, "Miss Qi has a really good attitude."
"If you hadn't run away from home to Linjiang, Song Gengli wouldn't have followed you. If he hadn't followed you, he wouldn't have died." Qi Mengyao became more and more emotional as she spoke. She screamed, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"
Lu Jianing stopped him and said, "Don't move."
Qi Mengyao knew that this was not the time to be angry with Lu Jianing, so she pouted her lips in dissatisfaction and then shut her mouth.
Noticing that Qi Mengyao had calmed down, Lu Jianing complained, "You get excited when you talk. Who taught you this habit?"
For a long time, Qi Mengyao didn't reply.
Unable to bear the loneliness, Lu Jianing responded to her previous words.
"So you were tied with a bomb because you were investigating Song Gengli's case," Lu Jianing answered Qi Mengyao's questions in a nonchalant manner while trying to cooperate with He Qifeng to defuse the bomb. "I warned you a long time ago not to interfere with the progress of the case, why didn't you listen?"
Qi Mengyao: "Why should I listen to you!"
"But you didn't listen to me, so now you're arrested, aren't you?" Lu Jianing said calmly, "You're still waiting for me to rescue you."
"Who needs your rescue?" Qi Mengyao shouted.
Lu Jianing: "Then I'll take my boyfriend away."
Qi Mengyao: "You..."
"He Qifeng!" He Yang, who had approached at some point, shouted at He Qifeng, "Don't worry about her. She has a bomb on her. You're a policeman, so find a way to get us out."
But He Qifeng ignored him at all.
He Yang was a little embarrassed and annoyed: "He Qifeng! Did you hear me? If I die here today, you will never be able to enter the He family again!"
Don’t enter the He family?
Lu Jianing sneered: "Do you really think the He family is a good place?"
"You..." He Yang was speechless.
While He Yang didn't know how to refute, He Qifeng choked and said, "Stay away from me, and you won't die."
He Yang was annoyed and didn't care whether there was a bomb on Qi Mengyao's neck. He rushed forward and tried to pull He Qifeng away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, Lu Jianing, who had predicted his position, kicked him in the stomach from behind.
In an instant, the pain spread from the stomach to the whole body. He Yang squatted on the ground, holding his stomach in pain.
"Captain He, your brother is such a selfish rich man," Lu Jianing complained in a low voice, "He's nothing like you."
He Qifeng, who was working hard to defuse the bomb, replied without even looking up: "I don't have such a brother."
"Leave these brats to me, just focus on defusing the bomb. If they get close to you, I will submit my resignation to my master tomorrow." Lu Jianing promised. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
"Yeah." He Qifeng responded in a muffled voice, not knowing whether he heard it clearly or not.
He Yang, who was holding his stomach, finally calmed down a little. He tried to stand up and yelled at Lu Jianing: "Lu Jianing, do you want us to die here?"
"Your voice is full of energy. It seems I should hold back my strength." Lu Jianing said while fiddling with his fists.
Noticing the commotion here, Qian Muyun, the organizer, walked in and said, "Jianing, your boyfriend is a policeman, he must have a way to get us out. There are so many of us, we can't give..."
Halfway through his words, Qian Muyun turned his gaze to Qi Mengyao behind Lu Jianing.
Lu Jianing knew what he wanted to say. She sneered, "Can't what? Can't be buried with Qi Mengyao?"
Qian Muyun was speechless.
No one wants to die, which is understandable, and Lu Jianing didn't blame him.
but--
"Now there is no other way except to ask He Qifeng to remove the bomb from Qi Mengyao," Lu Jianing said, "But don't worry, the bomb is not very powerful. Just stand against the wall and it won't affect you."
Qian Muyun was a little surprised: "Did your boyfriend say that?"
"Yeah." Lu Jianing said casually.
"Then I'll tell them now."
After saying this, Qian Muyun ran away happily.
He Yang glared at Lu Jianing, then hurriedly followed him. He instigated, "You believed what Lu Jianing said. Do you know who Lu Jianing's boyfriend is? He is my father's biological son. It is rumored that he is the only son of the He family who was kicked out of the He family. He wishes I would die. Do you really think he would save us?"
"Maybe he just wants to gather us together and then throw the dismantled bombs at us and kill us all in one fell swoop."
After hearing He Yang's words, Qian Muyun paused for a second.
Seeing that Qian Muyun was about to be persuaded, He Yang hurriedly said, "If I die alone, others will think it's fratricide; but what if a group of people die? Will anyone still say that he is targeting me?"
As soon as He Yang finished speaking, a clean and neat slap came down from the air.
Snap——
The sound of a clean slap spread among the three people.
Lu Jianing, who appeared here out of nowhere, had a terrifyingly sinister expression on his face: "If you slander He Qifeng again, I will be the first one to stuff the bomb into your mouth after I remove it."
"You..." He Yang covered his face and looked at her in shock.
It was obviously more chaotic here than around the bomb, with all kinds of frustrated sounds.
This completely exhausted the patience of the already irritable Lu Jianing.
She glanced around with a slightly stern look.
The next second, she threw the phone in her hand heavily into the air, followed by a backward spinning side kick - the isolated phone spun in the air, and then hit the high-heeled glasses piled up not far away very steadily.
In an instant, the sound of shattering glass resounded throughout the banquet hall.
Everyone's attention was immediately focused on it. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
"Microphone," Lu Jianing ordered the host beside him.
The host immediately handed her the microphone respectfully.
Lu Jianing: "If you want to live, everyone, stand in the corner and don't move without my order. Otherwise, I will beat you up if I see you."
"Why should we listen to you? Who do you think you are?" He Yang, covering his face, retorted disobediently.
"Who am I?" Lu Jianing shouted arrogantly into the microphone, "I am Lu Jianing, the only daughter of the Lu family in the imperial capital - Lu Jianing."
Seeing someone in the crowd about to refute him, Lu Jianing continued, "Right now, the most important person in my life is at the center of the bomb. He is in no less danger than you. Therefore, any behavior that interferes with his work will be regarded as an attempt to be my enemy."
"Most of you here grew up with me, and you all know my temper. Arrogant, unreasonable, conceited, and extremely arrogant, these are all adjectives that describe me. If you don't want to go from a rich second-generation to a debt-ridden pauper overnight, don't challenge my patience."
After saying that, he turned around and warned He Yang: "This includes your He family."
"Our He family? Don't forget that He Qifeng is also..." He Yang was about to refute.
Lu Jianing put away the microphone and said, "He has never relied on your He family. The rise and fall of the He family has no influence on him at all. And with me here, it won't be difficult for a mere He family to change its owner and be reborn."
He Yang was speechless for a moment.
"It's really touching. It makes my blood boil." An arrogant mechanical voice came from the second floor, "Lu Jianing, do you love me so much?"
Lu Jianing looked up vigilantly, searching for the source of the sound on the second floor.
"Don't look, you can't find me." The arrogant mechanical voice sounded again.
"Really?" Lu Jianing responded while holding up the microphone.
"What a pity, Lu Jianing, you don't really think that my bomb can be just as simple as dismantling it..."
As soon as the mechanical sound stopped, He Qifeng, who was defusing the bomb, suddenly stopped.
Lu Jianing nervously turned his head to look over.
He Qifeng gently picked up a red line, revealing two raw material pillars hidden behind it.
The mechanical voice said again: "There are two bombs in total. When one of the bombs stops, the raw materials in the raw material column will blend together, and then the most beautiful fireworks will bloom. Isn't it exciting?"
Lu Jianing: "What a thrill!"
The mechanical voice paused for a second: "Can I understand that you are angry and humiliated?"
"Me? Angry and embarrassed?" Lu Jianing said as he strode towards He Qifeng.
"Lu Jianing, that's a liquid! bomb! Do you want to live?!" Qian Muyun's expression was obviously a bit anxious.
Lu Jianing, who stopped beside He Qifeng, curled her lips imperceptibly. She raised her head arrogantly and said, "There is no word like 'shame' in my dictionary! It's just a bomb. If you die with it, you will die!"
"Mad man! You are really a mad man, then just wait for death." After saying that, the mechanical voice disappeared angrily.
Qian Muyun cried and held his head, "It's over, it's over. If Lu Jianing gets blown up here, our Qian family will be finished."
Lu Jianing, who was next to He Qifeng, tilted his head to observe the bomb: "Is this a liquid bomb?"
"Yeah." He Qifeng answered seriously.
Lu Jianing ignored him and analyzed: "It will definitely take some time for these two materials to blend together. We can use this time."
"Yeah, I think so too," He Qifeng said, "I will dismantle the first bomb in a while, and you and Qi Mengyao will run towards the crowd. I will throw the bomb near the window to help us blow a way out."
"Someone hit it with a stool before, but it didn't move, so it should be tempered glass." Lu Jianing said, "Is the bomb powerful enough? It shouldn't bounce back."
"The bomb is not very powerful, and I'm not sure if it can blow through the glass, but I will control it and won't let it bounce back," He Qifeng promised.
"Okay..." Lu Jianing was halfway through her words when she suddenly thought of something. She stopped He Qifeng and said, "Wait a minute, how many minutes are left for the first bomb?"
"Two minutes." He Qifeng glanced at the dismantled display screen and answered seriously.
"Have you decided which stitches to remove?" Lu Jianing asked again.
"Well," He Qifeng said, "the person who made this bomb must be a novice. The circuit design is very simple, but the □□ at the back is a bit more troublesome."
"Just now, he was so angry that he didn't even detonate the bomb, which means this isn't a remote-controlled bomb," Lu Jianing said, "We still have a chance."
He Qifeng asked tacitly: "What do you want to do?"
"Hold on for a while, I'll go and catch the guy," Lu Jianing said.
"Have you decided on the location?" He Qifeng asked.
"Not yet," Lu Jianing said, "but he knows our whereabouts very well. It is very likely that he is observing us in a monitoring room on the scene. So if he takes the opportunity to replace the surveillance, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack for us to catch him in the future."
"Besides, I can't let him really get away after making such a big fuss in front of me."
"You don't have enough time." He Qifeng said.
Lu Jianing raised his eyebrows: "It's probably about the same."
"Then you should be careful." He Qifeng said worriedly.
Before Lu Jianing could answer, Qi Mengyao was the first to realize that something was wrong.
He Qifeng is a criminal police captain after all, how could he listen to someone who is not doing his job...
"Lu Jianing, why are you making trouble?" Qi Mengyao asked suddenly, "Just stay aside and don't cause any trouble for Captain He!"
"I'm causing trouble?" Lu Jianing was about to leave, wondering, "Are you crazy?"
"you……"
Before Qi Mengyao finished her words, Lu Jianing interrupted her: "I don't have time to talk to you about this. You just need to know that with me here, you won't be in any danger. That's enough."
After saying that, he did not forget to remind He Qifeng: "If she talks too much again, just knock her out. I will take the blame if anything happens."
"Yeah." He Qifeng responded
After Lu Jianing left in a carefree manner, Qi Mengyao said unconvincedly: "Captain He, why did you listen to an outsider?! Just because she is Lu Jianing."
He Qifeng put away the phone and simply replied: "She is not an outsider, she is my leader."
Also leading...
Can someone like Lu Jianing still be a leader?
It's just that He Qifeng dotes on her.
Qi Mengyao pulled the corner of her lips in disdain: "You two young lovers have such a special little interest in each other."

"It's not a hobby," He Qifeng looked up at her eyes and said word by word, "It means literally."
"Huh?!" Qi Mengyao was completely confused, "Are you saying that her position is higher than yours?"
He Qifeng: “Yeah.”
Qi Mengyao was so shocked that she was speechless.
His position is higher than He Qifeng's... so he should be from the same company...
Isn't that... the police station?
In the police station, the position above the captain of the criminal police team is...
Qi Mengyao: "How is it possible... She didn't even graduate from high school..."
How can I become a criminal police?
...and his rank is higher than that of captain He Qifeng.
"She didn't graduate from high school just because she wanted you to see it," He Qifeng explained calmly, "When she applied to the police academy, her college entrance exam score was the highest in the school. Because of this, the principal of the police academy created a special investigation team just for her, allowing the girls to study and train individually. And the useless person you mentioned, Lu Jianing, has always been the captain of this team."
Qi Mengyao was shocked.
He Qifeng: "Since she started her career, Lu Jianing has been a very dedicated professional criminal police officer. All her achievements and positions were obtained by her risking her life to go undercover in criminal dens. I heard that three years ago, while she was on a mission in the imperial capital, she was stabbed by a criminal. The wound went from her left shoulder to her right butterfly bone."
"You should have heard of that case in the news - the 615 terrorist organization serial murder case."
Qi Mengyao was so shocked that her mouth trembled: "How...how is it possible..."
The 615 case was not a secret case at all. It was a hot topic not only in the capital but also in the wealthy business circles across the country. Many wealthy people who had heard the inside story sent their children abroad.
She and Song Gengli were also sent out.
At that time, Song Gengli was very anxious and asked why Lu Jianing had not come to see them.
Did he hide in a safer place, or was he secretly protected by someone sent by the Lu family...
It turns out...she went to fight the terrorists to protect everyone...
Seeing Qi Mengyao's slightly shocked look, He Qifeng continued, "As for Song Gengli's case, she has never given up. Jiang Yubai said that she hasn't had a good night's sleep for several months because of this case. Even if the murderer has surrendered himself, she feels that there is a mastermind behind the murderer, and she must catch him."
"She didn't let you investigate because it was too dangerous. She wanted to protect you."
Qi Mengyao was silent.
He Qifeng: "Others may misunderstand her or not understand her, but I feel that as her and Song Gengli's childhood friend, you cannot interfere with her and let her be distracted by you."
He Qifeng said earnestly, "The situation she is involved in is far more dangerous than you think."
Qi Mengyao paused for a moment and said, "What is her current position?"
He Qifeng explained calmly, "She is the captain of the special criminal investigation detachment of the Imperial City Public Security Bureau."
