Li Mu initially wanted to pull her back to avoid any further complications. However, after thinking about it, he realized that he was in control of the situation, so he figured she could just say what she wanted; it wouldn't have any significant impact.

Li Shiqing ran to the driver's side. She often took the direct bus and was very familiar with the driver. She had lost her exam admission ticket on the bus before, and it was the driver who helped her find it.

In her heart, the driver was a very good person.

Li Shiqing slowly approached the driver, pretending to be nonchalant, and said softly, "Uncle driver, please don't be afraid of what I'm about to say. Listen to me, there's a bomb in the car, and we need your cooperation."

Upon hearing Li Shiqing's words, the driver's hand, which was gripping the steering wheel, trembled, and he turned to look at her in disbelief.

"Driver, don't look at me, watch the road."

Li Shiqing could understand the turmoil in the uncle's heart. When she woke up and found a bomb in the car, she was even more terrified than the driver.

"oh oh……"

The driver was somewhat incoherent, seemingly still dazed, gripping the steering wheel absently, constantly trying to turn around.

"Uncle, don't look back, or you'll be discovered."

After Li Shiqing reminded him, he thought he shouldn't stay any longer, lest he arouse suspicion.

He then whispered, "Driver, I know what I'm about to say is a bit shocking and hard to believe. But there really is a bomb on the bus, in the pressure cooker that the lady in the back seat is carrying."

"We'll subdue the woman in a bit, but it's not safe to leave the pressure cooker in the car. We need your cooperation to quickly pull over, open the car door, and throw the pressure cooker into the river."

After finishing her speech, Li Shiqing, fearing that it would arouse Tao Yinghong's suspicion, dared not linger.

Before leaving, he added, "Driver, we have an agreement. When I call, you should stop the car, open the door, and let everyone get off."

The driver's face was a little pale, his fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly. He glanced at her, but seeing only her back, Li Shiqing, fearing it would arouse suspicion, had already gone back inside.

……

The car swayed and bumped, but passed the traffic lights smoothly, and a few dozen seconds later it was on the cross-river bridge.

"Let's move." Li Mu stood up and walked towards Tao Yinghong, and Li Shiqing immediately followed nervously.

Li Mu strolled leisurely, pretending to be casual as he walked up to Tao Yinghong, glanced at her casually, and then moved like lightning the next second.

They grabbed Tao Yinghong's arms with both hands and restrained her.

Tao Yinghong was suddenly confronted with this situation and thought that her secret had been exposed. Her eyes turned red, and she struggled violently, letting out a piercing scream.

Unfortunately, no matter how much she screamed and struggled, it was all in vain when facing Li Mu.

The passengers on the bus were startled, and several people immediately stood up, glaring at Li Mu.

What are you doing?

"What are you doing? In broad daylight, young man, what are you doing?"

"Release them right now, or I'll call the police."

"Driver, driver, hurry to the police station, there's a fight."

Li Shiqing was very quick and nimble, and gently lifted the pressure cooker out.

The passengers nearby couldn't stand it any longer.

"What are you doing? You're robbing me!"

"Girl, don't be foolish. There are security cameras in the car. You can't take other people's things."

"What are you doing in broad daylight? You're incredibly audacious."

Li Mu ignored them and warned Li Shiqing, "Be careful, there's a bomb inside. If we're not careful, we'll all be gone."

As soon as he said it, the car fell silent; everyone seemed a little incredulous.

Why did you say there was a bomb inside?

You can't wrongly accuse an innocent person!

"Driver, let's go to the police station!"

Under these circumstances, Li Mu didn't want to explain too much, nor did he have the time.

He said directly, "Everyone, please be quiet. We are police officers and have been watching her for a long time. There is a bomb in the pressure cooker. We hope you will cooperate, otherwise we will be in a car crash and die."

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the car fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a commotion. Everyone kept their distance, staring at the pressure cooker with some fear.

"bomb!"

"really?"

"No way, this is really bad luck."

Li Mu ignored them and turned to Li Shiqing, saying, "Call the police quickly and get backup."

While shouting for the driver to pull over, Li Shiqing took out her phone to call the police.

Seeing that the driver didn't seem to react, Li Mu reminded him, "Driver, please pull over and let the passengers get out to avoid danger. We need to deal with the bomb."

However, the driver seemed not to hear him and not only did not stop, but he also increased his speed.

Chapter 287 Preventing the Explosion

Li Mu sensed something was amiss.

"Driver, please pull over immediately, evacuate the passengers, and cooperate with the police."

But it still didn't work.

At this point, the passengers on the bus also realized something was wrong and joined in urging the driver to stop the bus.

But the bus was still running.

After calling the police, Li Shiqing seemed unable to believe that the driver would do such a thing and wanted to run over to question him. However, she was carrying the crucial pressure cooker in her hand and dared not leave it for even a moment.

Li Mu glanced at Tao Yinghong, who was still screaming and struggling, and without further hesitation, he slashed her neck with a palm strike, knocking her unconscious instantly.

I checked the time; there was only one minute left before the explosion. The car was speeding along. I needed to flag down the driver and stop the car.

Putting aside the fact that the other party was uncooperative, such a high speed could easily cause an accident. Even a minute's delay could make it too late.

Li Mu had no desire to experience death, nor did he want to lower his mission rating because of it.

Without hesitation, he took two quick steps and grabbed the safety hammer from the car.

Amidst the piercing alarm blaring inside the carriage, "bang, bang, bang," several blows were delivered to the windows, striking the windows at various points of impact.

The car window glass showed snowflake-like shattering marks, which spread out like a spider web, and soon the entire window glass was covered with cracks.

With a loud bang, Li Mu slammed the hammer down again, and with a crash, the entire pane of glass fell off.

"Pressure cooker!" Li Mu shouted, lowered his shoulders and elbows, and firmly planted himself in a horse stance, standing steadily on the fast-moving bus.

Li Shiqing quickly handed him the pressure cooker.

Li Mu took a deep breath, feeling as if his feet were rooted to the spot, and stood firmly in the carriage.

The next moment, with a shout, he threw the pressure cooker far away through the smashed car window.

Li Mu's formidable physique and strength were on full display at this moment. The pressure cooker was flung away like a cannonball, flying twenty or thirty meters away from the bridge and plunging headfirst into the river.

But Li Mu couldn't care less about that now. The driver seemed to have gone mad; instead of slowing down, he was veering further and further off course. They might crash into the bridge pier and plunge into the river at any moment.

The passengers on the bus were also terrified, and many of them just stood there shouting at the driver.

Li Mu took a breath and dashed over instantly.

He quickly reached the driver's side and, seeing the driver becoming increasingly frantic and even trying to drive the bus into the river, used one hand to stabilize the steering wheel and the other hand to make a knife-like motion, slashing at the driver's neck.

The driver was powerless to resist and immediately passed out.

Li Mu quickly gripped the steering wheel with both hands to maintain control. Since the driver was dizzy, no one pressed the accelerator anymore. Although the speed was still not slow, it was just the inertia of the bus.

Twenty seconds later, the car's speed finally dropped to a safe level.

Li Mu grabbed the driver from the driver's seat, threw him aside, sat down himself, and slowly maneuvered the bus to the side of the road before opening the doors.

The passengers on the bus seemed to have survived a disaster, and with lingering fear, they quickly jumped off the bus.

Li Mu led Li Shiqing, who was still in shock, out of the car, took a deep breath of the fresh, watery air from the river, and let out a long sigh of relief.

At that moment, it was exactly 1:45.

With a deafening roar, like thunder, countless splashes of water were sent flying into the sky.

After a moment of stunned silence, a commotion erupted.

Only then did they believe that the pressure cooker really did contain a bomb, and what would have happened to them if Li Mu hadn't stopped them.

Upon realizing this, all the passengers gasped.

I'm so lucky to have escaped death.

A few minutes later, a line of police cars arrived; the police had finally arrived. The passengers rushed forward and recounted what had happened.

The police chief broke out in a cold sweat, realizing what had just happened. If this hadn't been stopped, Jialin City would have been on the national headlines tomorrow.

Li Mu acted with great restraint. After Tao Yinghong and the driver were handcuffed and put into the police car, they groggily woke up and were about to undergo a severe interrogation by the police.

Although Li Mu and Li Shiqing had prevented the crime, they still had to go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. Li Mu was a little annoyed; another good day had been wasted.

Once at the police station, how to find the explosive device became a key focus for the police.
