Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 289 - Nice To Meet You

Chief Xu Hui had an extremely grim expression on his face. His demeanor had turned instantly frigid and alert. "Soo Yunru. This is a huge leap we are making here."

"But a plausible one," Yunru said.

"It will be chaos if anybody finds out about this. Not just officers but civilians\' lives are also at stake here."

He nodded. "We have to tread very carefully."

"We have no clue when they are planning to blast the bomb. It could be literally seconds from now on."

Indeed it could be true. They had no clue where the bomb was kept and at what time they would set it off.

"They didn\'t detonate it when the conference was going on. Maybe they are waiting for it to get over. The dinner is going on, but they still haven\'t set it off. They must be timing it when everyone would start leaving the premises."

Chief Xu Hui touched his chin. "Why would they want to wait for the conference to get over?" He thought about it and narrowed his eyes. "Those bastards...are they thinking of having satisfaction when the officers would leave in hope of creating a better society, considering the policies we all discussed? They think the best time would be when we will leave in vigor and excitement to implement the beneficial policies."

He smiled. "Yup they the leader is a bastard. A sadist. I think I know who he is. He is a wanted criminal. Milo is his codename."

His eyes widened. "The whole police force knows him. Head Yin has given shoot on sight orders. He is one nasty criminal."

And Zizi was in the clutches of such a criminal…

Yunru couldn\'t help but feel deathly afraid. He was trying to remain calm and strong, but whenever he thought about Zizi, he got riled up and anxious.

"Maybe Zizi recognized him and trailed him. She had once asked me about him in the station. She saw his photo hung up on the board."

"Head Lin is also in danger, isn\'t he?" He stated.

Yunru narrowed his eyes. "He will be fine. I already arranged for some cops in plain clothes to take him out of the hospital."

Chief Xu Hui widened his eyes. "When?"

"When Luo Jiang said that he got admitted to the hospital. He is the one who is involved in making him sick."

"That is a serious accusation, Soo Yunru."

"He is his closest aid, and it\'s damn easy for him to mix something in his food. I am sure he is in cahoots with Milo. That\'s why I said to him that I have asked my friend to send the best doctor for his treatment. Luo Jiang would have already sent his men to finish Head Yin."

Chief Xu Hui gritted his teeth. "A traitor…"

He paused.

"He could have finished Head Yin in the hotel itself but…"

"You are right. His death would be too suspicious, so he arranged in a way that he would die in a hospital where he won\'t be present."

"Why not finish him in this bomb blast with the rest of us?"

"Because Head Yin\'s security force is top-notch. Milo wanted to divert it away from this conference so they could easily move."

"We have to start evacuating everybody, but we cannot do it openly or they would detonate it right away."

Yunru thought about it. "Evacuation is a risk. If they see a large number of people suddenly leaving the place, they will press the button in seconds. We have to keep the conference going as long as possible until we need to find that bomb and disarm it."

Chief Xu Hui said, "We will need a team to diffuse the bomb. We cannot do it on our own. It\'s too risky."

That was true…

"We will call the team and let them in in civilian clothes. From the other side, we will arrange the transportation of all their equipment."

"Won\'t they keep an eye?" He frowned.

Yunru sneered. "I know Milo. He is overconfident as much as he is arrogant and a sadist. He is thinking that his whole plan is under the wraps, and none of the officers got a single clue about this bomb blast. We don\'t know anything, so there is no need to keep extra security. But because of Zizi we now know about it. I asked Luo Jiang to keep an eye on the ins and outs to test him, but he won\'t really do it precisely because they have nothing to fear about. Plus, he doesn\'t want to restrict Milo\'s men\'s movements. The remote is in their hands and our lives are literally in their palms right now. They got a hell of an advantage."

Chief Xu Hui said, "They will only station their resources where the bomb is kept."

"Yup. They wouldn\'t want any intrusion in that room until Milo decides to press the button. The other men would be guarding Zizi right now. That\'s why we have to wipe off this blood and her message. If one of his men passes by here again and sees this message, they will learn that we are already alerted. They might even kill Zizi in revenge."

"Damn, you are right!" He quickly gave it a thought. "I will get back right now and make an excuse to prolong the conference."

Yunru narrowed his eyes. "Until then, I will find the bomb\'s location and inform the diffusion team to come as quickly as possible."

He anxiously asked, "This is a big hotel. How are you going to find the bomb\'s location before the team arrives?"

Yunru thought about it.

"He is Milo. He is a sadist. He wants to kill us in the worst way possible. I think I got a fair idea where he might have kept it."

Zizi\'s eyelashes slowly fluttered open, and she immediately felt pain shooting up in the back of her head. She softly yelped.

"Ah, so you are awake."

Zizi blinked her eyes and dazedly looked at the menacing figure in front of her. Her eyes slowly widened as she saw the creepy smile on the most wanted criminal\'s face.

Milo smiled. "Nice to meet you.. My name is Milo. What is yours?"
