Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 113 How to Save Yourself
Everyone in the room turned pale with fright upon hearing this. Du Bixiao, who was directly involved, was even more shocked, and the words that were about to come out of her mouth became: "Tell me, I know what's important."

Du Anrao took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "I saw a shopping mall in your calamity."

"A shopping mall?" Du Bixiao's heart skipped a beat, and she almost instinctively asked, "What kind of shopping mall?"

"I can't explain it clearly either." Du Anrao tried hard to recall the fragments of images that had just flooded his mind. "It was a very large shopping mall with jewelry stores, clothing stores, restaurants... Oh right, there was also a movie theater. On the day of the incident, there was a poster of one of my second brother's movies outside the movie theater."

Du Hexuan's expression was subtle. If he didn't know that his sister wouldn't make things up without a reason, he would have suspected that Du Anrao was a spy sent by his rival to smear him!

Given that Du Bixiao's profession is special and this matter concerns her life, it is most likely a serious case. For an entertainment star to be involved in a social case is obviously not a good thing!
Fortunately, Du Anrao did her best to describe all the details she saw, allowing Du Bixiao to extract more information from them, and Du Bixiao did not disappoint her.

Upon hearing this, her eyes flashed, and she quickly realized: "Do you remember which movie poster it was? What was it called?"

"I can't remember clearly, I only remember that my second brother was standing in the very center, with a ball of fire behind him." This was the most precise detail that Du Anrao could provide.

After all, all the clips she just saw were fleeting and ephemeral; it was already quite impressive that she managed to capture even that much information.

Du Bixiao sighed, stopped making things difficult for her, and looked up to exchange a glance with Du Hexuan.

Du Hexuan was startled and realized something was amiss. He nodded seriously, preparing to find an opportunity to have a good talk with her later.

"Besides this, I also saw an alarm clock, a square electronic clock in a restaurant, which showed the time as 14:39 p.m."

Du Bixiao frowned. The information about the square electronic clock was a bit vague. Many stores now use electronic clocks, so the scope of the search would be quite large.

Du Bixiao's parents were getting anxious after hearing so much from Du Anrao, who still hadn't gotten to the point about their daughter's accident.

"An'an, in those scenes you saw, what exactly... caused Bi Xiao to encounter danger?"

Du Anrao was about to get to this point, so he quickly gave the answer: "It was a man who was about 1.75 meters tall and wearing a blue coat who took revenge on society by kidnapping a six or seven-year-old girl in the mall."

Although the people around were somewhat prepared, they still couldn't help but gasp.

Du Anrao frowned, trying hard to recall, but all he saw was a blurry mess: "I couldn't see his face clearly, I only saw him holding a knife to the girl's neck, yelling at everyone to get away and stay away, or he would kill the child. The girl was crying and calling for her mother..."

My uncle and aunt were horrified: "So, Bixiao did it to save that child..."

"No, no, my cousin was indeed in the rescue team, but not because of saving the child..." Du Anrao recalled the bloody scene he had just witnessed and couldn't help but gag twice, feeling physically nauseous.

Seeing this, the Du family members tensed up again. Before they could even speak, Du Anrao dropped a bombshell, and it was a real bombshell!

"There's a bomb! There's a bomb in that shopping mall!"

"What?!" Du Bixiao was startled, but after calming down and thinking about it, it made sense.

She had been wondering just now, if it really was just about rescuing kidnapped children and capturing criminals, she had encountered far more dangerous situations before, and there was no reason for her to capsize in such a small ditch. But if the criminals had planted bombs near the mall beforehand, then it would make sense.

However, this raises the seriousness of the matter to several levels.

"I heard five different explosions, so there's a high probability there are five or more bombs inside. That shopping mall is very busy, with lots of customers, so..."

Even if Du Anrao didn't say what happened next, they could imagine it.

The destructive power of five bombs is no joke; no wonder Du Anrao couldn't help but gag when he recalled it.

But precisely because they were aware of the seriousness of the situation, Du Bixiao's parents were now completely bewildered and on the verge of collapse.

No matter how powerful their daughter is, she is still just flesh and blood. How could she withstand a weapon as lethal as a bomb?

"What should we do? What should we do?" Auntie panicked and instinctively turned to her husband for help. Then, as if grasping at a lifeline, she grabbed Du Anrao's hand.

“Child, since you can see all this, you must know how to save Bixiao, right? She's practically your sister. Please save her. If you can save her, your aunt will give you her life, if only you can save her…”

This was the first time Du Anrao had encountered such a situation, and he stood there dumbfounded, at a loss for what to do.

The Du family was caught off guard by her sudden outburst, and before they knew it, she had gotten close to Du Anrao, leaving them looking quite unwell.

Instead, Du Bixiao was the first to react, immediately grabbing her mother's hand and comforting her, "Mom, calm down. My cousin has already revealed a lot of information and helped a lot. It's my responsibility to figure out how to save ourselves and those innocent people in the mall who have been dragged into this."

Auntie paused, then subconsciously looked up and met the disapproving gazes of Du's mother and the others, realizing her lapse in composure.

She hurriedly and awkwardly let go of Du Anrao's hand: "I'm sorry, An'an, your aunt was frightened by what you just said, and I lost my composure and scared you."

Du Anrao didn't care much about these things. Seeing that his aunt had stopped pleading with him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, I understand. Aunt, you have to trust my cousin and her colleagues. They will definitely be able to minimize the damage caused by this."

"Yes, yes, you should go back tomorrow and tell your people inside about this, and let them think of a solution."

Du Bixiao smiled bitterly. She definitely had to report such a big matter. The key now was how to convince her superiors and colleagues that what she was saying was true.

Thinking this, Du Bixiao subconsciously turned her head to look at Du Anrao.

Du Anrao was unaware of Du Bixiao's inner turmoil. She lowered her head and hesitated for a moment before finally choosing to follow her heart and revealing her true thoughts.

"I'm not sure if these bombs are related to the kidnapper who took the child hostage, but it's a fact that his presence delayed your discovery of the bombs. And I suspect that's why he took the child hostage..."

Du Anrao paused here, his expression turning slightly somber: "It's possible they deliberately lured you there."
