You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Zhang Yan's face, with its morbidly fanatical smile, flashed through his mind.

His words, "the grandest fireworks," echoed in Lin Chen's ears.

Lin Chen's gaze abruptly shifted from the void, fixing fixedly on the electronic clock on the wall.

19: 40.

The scarlet numbers were frantically stimulating his pupils.

Twenty minutes left!

In a flash, the "Structure Diagram of the Century Square Fountain" filled with fluid dynamics formulas, which he had seen after implanting the Trojan horse, appeared in his mind!

Tonight at 8 PM!

Century Square in the city center!

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the city's establishment!

Tens of thousands of citizens will gather there to watch what is touted as the largest musical fountain show in Asia!

Lin Chen suddenly understood everything!

That madman!

Zhang Yan's arrest was part of his plan!

He deliberately left clues about the restaurant, intentionally letting that idiot Li Mingyu catch him, and using the time he was detained to completely divert the police's attention from his real target!

The real "bomb" had already been planted by him in the water supply network under the square through some means!

That wasn't a conventional bomb!

That was a liquid hell he had meticulously concocted, with white phosphorus and carbon disulfide at its core!

As soon as it hits 8 o'clock, the fountain system starts up, and the huge water pressure will turn the highly toxic and flammable chemical solutions into a rain of fire through hundreds of nozzles, spraying it onto the unsuspecting crowd in the square!

White phosphorus spontaneously combusts upon contact with air, reaching temperatures of over a thousand degrees Celsius!

At that time, the entire Century Square will instantly become a living hell filled with screams and charred flesh!

The lives of tens of thousands of people were sacrificed by Zhang Yan for this city in what he called a "grand fireworks display"!

A chillingly cold rage erupted from the depths of Lin Chen's chest!

"Su Qingge!"

Lin Chen suddenly turned his head and let out a thunderous shout!

"Come with me!"

The noise in the entire Major Crimes Unit office was instantly cut off by this roar.

Everyone was startled and stared at him in astonishment.

Lin Chen had no time to explain.

He turned and rushed out of the office!

Su Qingge was only stunned for a moment. Looking at Lin Chen's back, which was filled with overwhelming killing intent, she followed him without any hesitation!

"Waaah—waaah—"

The piercing sirens of the police cars rang out in the city police station compound, but they stopped in despair just as they reached the gate.

Evening rush hour.

The entire main road was completely blocked, with countless vehicles forming a steel line stretching for several kilometers, accompanied by the constant blaring of horns and curses.

The police car was stuck in traffic and couldn't move an inch!

"Damn it!"

Su Qingge slammed her fist on the steering wheel, staring at the motionless taillights ahead. For the first time, her usually calm phoenix eyes revealed anxiety and helplessness.

Lin Chen's gaze swept across the street.

His gaze instantly locked onto a black heavy motorcycle that a food delivery guy had just parked on the side of the road!

Yamaha R1!

Lin Chen pushed open the car door, rushed over, and pulled out the still-warm consultant's certificate from his pocket, showing it to the deliveryman.

"Police are investigating! They need to requisition your car!"

Before the other party could react, Lin Chen took a long stride and sat directly on the motorcycle.

He turned the key and then sharply twisted the accelerator with his right hand!

"Boom—Buzz—!"

The steel beast let out a deafening roar.

Lin Chen patted the seat behind him and turned to look at Su Qingge.

Not a single word wasted.

Su Qingge understood immediately.

Without hesitation, she strode forward, her long, straight legs encased in police trousers suddenly striding forward, and she sat steadily on the back seat.

In the instant the motorcycle roared, she instinctively stretched out her arms and tightly hugged Lin Chen's strong, iron-like waist!

boom!

The engines roared!

[God-level driving skills], fully unleashed!

In Lin Chen's eyes, the congested and chaotic traffic in front of him instantly transformed into a virtual racetrack composed of countless data streams!

The intervals between each vehicle, the reaction time of each driver, and every possible variable were all calculated to the extreme in his mind!

next second.

The black motorcycle suddenly shot off!

At an unbelievable angle, it brushed past the body of a bus and squeezed into the gap that was only half a meter wide!

"what!"

Su Qingge let out a short gasp and pressed herself tightly against Lin Chen's broad back.

She could clearly feel the power emanating from the instantaneous tension in his back muscles, smell the masculine scent mixed with a faint tobacco aroma emanating from him, and feel the strong, powerful heartbeat that pounded even through two layers of skin.

Under Lin Chen's control, the motorcycle transformed into the most agile ghost in the city.

Bending, sidestepping, and cutting through at the limit!

Countless drivers only saw a blur before their eyes, and a dark shadow flashed past their rearview mirror with a piercing whistle, so fast that they thought it was an illusion!

Su Qingge's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

She felt both an unprecedented fear and a strange thrill and peace of mind, as if she were completely entrusting her life to the man in front of her!

As Lin Chen sped through the traffic, he roared at the command center through the police headset hanging on his helmet!

"Command center! Response confirmed!"

"Immediately notify the Municipal Engineering Department! Immediately! Right now! Cut off all water supply to Century Square! Shut down the main valve of the musical fountain! Quickly!!"

His voice was hoarse and rapid due to the extreme speed and anger!

The command center was deathly silent.

Everyone was bewildered by his nonsensical order.

A few seconds later, Li Mingyu's voice, full of doubt and disdain, rang out in the channel.

"Lin Chen, are you crazy? The celebration is about to start in a dozen minutes!"

"All the city leaders are here! You want us to cut off the water supply now? Do you know how much panic this will cause?"

"If something goes wrong, who will take responsibility?"

"I'll screw you over!"

Lin Chen immediately launched into a tirade of curses, his voice filled with fury.

"That's not water! It's a liquid bomb! Do you want tens of thousands of people to die there?!"

Li Mingyu was stunned by the scolding and wanted to retort.

"Shut up!"

A cold and resolute shout suddenly rang out from behind Lin Chen!

Su Qingge snatched the headset from Lin Chen, and through the microphone, screamed at the top of her lungs:

"Listen up, all units!"

"Do as Lin Chen says!"

"Execute immediately!"

"This is not a request!"

"That's an order!!"

Her voice, carrying an undeniable authority and decisiveness, pierced through the radio waves and struck the hearts of everyone in the command room!

Director Lu Zhenhua, far away in the city bureau's command center, listened to Su Qingge's near-collapse screams through his earpiece and watched the red dot representing Lin Chen moving at a frantic speed on the big screen, his forehead veins bulging.

His mind flashed back to all of Lin Chen's incredible performances—the white phosphorus trick he conjured out of thin air, the murderer he identified from pixel noise...

This is not the ramblings of a madman.

This is a genius issuing the most desperate warning!

He was silent for two seconds.

The entire command center was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Immediately, Lu Zhenhua grabbed the red phone on the table, gritted his teeth, and gave the order that could potentially end his entire career.

"Connect with the municipal authorities! Just say I told you!"

"At any cost!"

"Immediately cut off the main water supply to Century Square!"
