Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Lu Xingzhi had been on missions for many years, and that was not the first time he had encountered a criminal with a high IQ.

Unlike at the quiet Martyrs' Mausoleum the previous day, when Jiang Yao got off the car, she could see soldiers and police surrounding the entire Martyrs' Mausoleum. It added a sense of solemnity to the place. There was also a sense of uneasiness.

Lu Xingzhi led Jiang Yao out of the car and walked toward the other side. He told Jiang Yao to stay there and wait for him. Then, he walked in with another group of people.

It would be a lie to say that she was not worried. From the moment Lu Xingzhi stepped in, Jiang Yao had been worried. The person-in-charge had arranged for her to stay in a tent that had been set up temporarily. There was a lot of equipment in the tent. There were also a few experts who were talking about topics that Jiang Yao did not understand.

The atmosphere in the tent was a little tense. After all, the entire Lanning city would panic if they knew about the bombs. If they did not manage to defuse the bombs successfully, they would cause serious consequences.

After the experts said a few words, they took their things and entered the cemetery. There were fewer people in the tent—only a few people looking after the equipment.

Jiang Yao sat in the corner and paid full attention. Her ability range was only four kilometers, but that cemetery was too large. If she could not enter the area, her range of inspection would be limited.

Even so, Jiang Yao's ability was faster than anyone else with a detector. When she saw a stack of detailed maps of the cemetery on the table, Jiang Yao walked over to take one and then took a pen from her bag. She circled all the places where the bombs and explosives might have been placed within a four-kilometer radius of the entrance and then asked Moe to take the map to Lu Xingzhi.

No one in the tent was distracted by what Jiang Yao was doing, so when Moe left with the folded map in his mouth, no one noticed.

Lu Xingzhi was still within Jiang Yao's line of sight, so she could see it when Moe found Lu Xingzhi and handed the map to him without anyone noticing.

With her map, Lu Xingzhi could arrange his people more easily. Jiang Yao's map allowed Lu Xingzhi to set his men more reasonably as they raced against time to get all the bombs within four kilometers of the area.

The weather in Lanning was different from that in Luo City and Nanjiang City. It was so cold that one had to wear a coat in the morning. However, when it was past 10:00 a.m. and the sun was high in the sky, the temperature became so hot that Jiang Yao could no longer wear her coat.

It was already past lunchtime, but no one here remembered the meal.

Those staring at the equipment had not peeled their eyes away from the moment Jiang Yao entered.

Each of their expressions was very serious because they knew that their job meant the safety of their comrades in the vicinity of the cemetery.

Lu Xingzhi had already left Jiang Yao's range. She had not seen him for almost half an hour.

As time went by, everyone became more nervous.

It meant that it had gotten closer to 7:00 p.m.

Jiang Yao looked at the time on her phone. It was already past 4:00 p.m. Moe lay quietly in her pocket. At that time, someone carried something into the tent and walked up to Jiang Yao. He looked apologetic.
