"As soon as possible."
These weren't exactly explicit threats, or rather, they weren't threats to him at all.
Unless tons of explosives were involved, nothing else would do him any good.
However, if tons of explosives were involved and Zhu Guangyu had no leads, then he would have reason to suspect Zhu Guangyu wanted him dead.
Speaking of explosives...
He turned and headed back to the kindergarten; he needed to check thoroughly.
He got into the National Security vehicle and relayed his instructions.
After the National Security personnel had left, he sensed someone passing by the door, and it seemed they had dropped something.
He pushed the door open, his gaze falling to the ground first.
It was a tripwire landmine.
If he had accidentally stepped on it as he came out, this thing would have been armed, and the moment he lifted his foot, it would explode.
Lin Xiao simply hooked his hand, and the man wearing a baseball cap was pulled back by his spiritual energy: "You dropped something."
He placed the landmine back into the man's hand, then took his finger and pressed it onto the landmine.
"No!"
The man cried out, holding on tightly, and stared at Lin Xiao in terror: "You... how did you know!"
"I'm not deaf."
Lin Xiao said irritably.
The man held the landmine, unsure whether to release it or keep holding on.
If he let go, Lin Xiao would die, and they would perish together, achieving his goal. If he didn't let go... he would inevitably have to have it defused, be arrested, and face an endless darkness.
But he didn't want to die.
Lin Xiao seemed to sense what he was thinking and prompted, "Why don't you just let go? That way, you can die with me."
As he spoke, he prepared to help the man release his grip.
"No, no, no, no!"
The man was so terrified by Lin Xiao's action that he nearly knelt down.
He truly didn't want to die!
"You don't want to kill me?"
"...No!"
"Liar."
"I do!"
"Then let go?"
"Not anymore!"
The man felt Lin Xiao was simply toying with him, but he really didn't want to die.
"Fine, then you stay here."
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, having no intention of continuing to amuse himself with the man. If it actually exploded, it might scare the children, which wasn't a good idea.
He dialed Zhu Guangyu's number: "I think I've caught someone else."
"...Brother Xiao, there's something I need to tell you. Please don't be angry yet." Kuaishuguo
"I'm already getting angry."
With Zhu Guangyu saying that, Lin Xiao could roughly guess that whatever he had to say wouldn't be good news.
"..."
"Hurry up and say it!"
"I just saw some news. There have been many shipments entering Shashi. They seem to have... somehow acquired a large number of rocket launchers in Shashi, and possibly tanks."
"Say that again?"
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, his voice doubling in volume.
"It seems they assembled tanks and armored vehicles in Shashi."
Zhu Guangyu said.
"Do you know what department you're in?"
"National Security."
"Do you think you'll still be in National Security this year?"
"..."
Zhu Guangyu was silenced by Lin Xiao's two questions. After this matter, he felt his career might be over.
Even if he could continue, Brother Xiao wouldn't let him.
