Xu Jiaorou's heart was touched. People's hearts were made of flesh. She was shocked when she saw the car beside her spontaneously combusting. Due to the suddenness of the incident, even her third uncle didn't know what to do.
"It's okay. I just did what I could. The key is still Uncle's contribution. Fortunately, he stopped in time. If he had driven another five to ten centimeters, the surrounding cars would have exploded instantly. Moreover, there would be a chain reaction, and the consequences would be unimaginable!"
I still have lingering fears. This is the old district, and there are many residents living here. It would have been a devastating disaster. No matter how capable I am, I wouldn't have been able to turn the situation around.
Their car just happened to run over the line, so it triggered a device. However, it didn't explode instantly.
With the occurrence of the accident, the surrounding area immediately fell into a panic. The passersby scattered in all directions, afraid of being affected. Because the alley was relatively narrow, there was a situation of pushing and stampeding from time to time, accompanied by all kinds of curses. After all, everyone had a strong desire to survive. When something like this happened, everyone wanted to escape this doomsday-like scene as soon as possible, so they scrambled to be the first to run.
Not long after, the police rushed to the scene and helped the passersby evacuate. They quickly sealed off the scene and put out the fire. With the help of professionals, the fire was quickly brought under control.
About an hour later, the originally peaceful alley became unrecognizable. Not only was there a loss of property, but there were also some casualties. After the police investigated and collected evidence, they came to a conclusion. More than ten cars in the surrounding area had been planted with controllable liquid bombs. This was a very special new type of bomb. Even experts in bomb disposal would have a hard time dealing with it …
"Elder Xu, it's good that you're fine."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a big belly couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He was the head of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, Ma Ju. When he found out that there had been a series of car explosions in the old district, he was already in shock. When he heard that all four major families were there, including Elder Xu, who rarely appeared in public, he was so scared that he peed his pants. If anything happened to Elder Xu, he might not even be able to keep his official position.
Even though the frontline was fraught with danger and there could be an explosion at any time, he still rushed over without hesitation. Seeing that Elder Xu was fine, Ma Ju felt relieved.
"Don't worry about me. Hurry up and go to the frontlines to command. Pay attention to your safety. If anything happens, report to me at any time." Old Xu waved his hand. He could naturally see the fear and trepidation in Chief Ma's voice.
"Alright!"
Director Ma nodded and paused before continuing, "By the way, I forgot to mention that our country has a specialized research department for this liquid bomb. Although we've invested a lot of money and manpower, it's still in the perfecting stage. As far as I know, only America and Japan have mastered this core technology, and this kind of thing can't be made by ordinary people. It requires the cooperation of a professional team …"
Chief Ma's words seemed to be referring to something. The target this time was most likely Old Xu. His influence was not limited to Beijing. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was famous all over the world. Anyone who paid attention to the modern history of Hua Xia would know of Old Xu's existence.
There were many men who had participated in the war back then, but time waited for no man. As time passed, many admirable veterans passed away one after another. When Old Xu fought on the battlefield, he wasn't even 20 years old. He was a child who was still wet behind the ears. Now, he was already more than 80 years old. During this period, he had attended many memorial services for his comrades. That kind of sorrow and helplessness made him feel a myriad of emotions.
To this day, there were only a few comrades left. In other words, three to five years later, or even ten years later, the men who went to the battlefield back then would only exist in videos and photos. This also proved the saying that time was merciless and made people grow old …
According to this analysis, it could only be the intention of America and Japan. After all, this kind of thing couldn't be measured with money. It couldn't be bought even if one wanted to.
"All right, I got it. You can go now."
Old Xu's face was dark. Actually, even if Chief Ma didn't tell him, he already knew. Old Xu was a military fanatic. Although he had retired, he knew the military reserves of the big countries.
Chief Ma nodded and hurried to give orders.
Old Xu kept silent for a while then opened his mouth again. "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the intention of Japan. Of course, it could also be that America and Japan have joined hands. Since Mao's era, the relationship between Hua Xia and America hasn't been very friendly. In the past few decades, Hua Xia has shown the world its rapid development, including our solid military and national defense. Even superpowers like America are afraid of it. Don't be fooled by the articles that America's international media often publish, saying that we're a powerful country that has caught the world's attention. In fact, they're trying to sow discord between Hua Xia and other countries. However, their strategy is very clever."
I kept nodding as I listened to him. Old Xu was worthy of his reputation. He could see things clearly and had his own opinions. Things were getting complicated now.
I didn't know why, but I had a feeling that this matter was related to the 'Exploding Ghost.' His ability in this aspect was absolutely world-class. Moreover, this matter was very important. No assassin, no matter what level, would dare to accept this kind of mission.
After all, Old Xu's influence was much greater than the leader of a small country. From the information I had received, the Exploding Ghost was from Japan, which meant that it was more likely that it was Japan. Moreover, the recent international situation had confirmed this point.
Three days ago, when I returned to the Guan family's house, Elder Guan was watching the news. Then, he talked about the Diaoyutai incident.
