Soul Patch

Chapter 285 How did he do it?
At this point, Wenjie thought of an even more serious question: Who exactly was their assassination target?

If the sniper appears on the roof of the North Building.

So……

He tried to deduce the target of the so-called V for Vendetta by looking at some clues.

A vehicle marked with SWAT insignia suddenly drove up.

Thank goodness! The bomb disposal experts have arrived.

A group of people jumped out of the vehicle and quickly set up a cordon.

A special police officer stepped forward and explained the situation to the bomb disposal expert.

Wenjie and his team hadn't dared to get too close to begin with, and when the experts came over, they made them step back even further.

At the same time, two men in bomb suits walked heavily toward the girl handcuffed to the telephone pole.

Wenjie stared at the scene before him, slightly stunned.

He looked away and subconsciously looked up at the night sky: the city street lights were dazzling, and in comparison, the starlight seemed weak and dim. Even if he tried to squint, he could not find the Big Dipper.

Finally, I saw a bright object streak by... it was an airplane.

As expected, you can't see the stars in the night sky of the capital!

He lowered his eyes dejectedly: with so many leaders, anyone could become a target; you can't deduce anything just from the high point of the North Building.

Just as he was deep in thought, a shockwave suddenly struck from behind him.

His basic skills had reached level 3, and the shockwave behind him made him instinctively take a step back to the side.

I can't help but wonder: Who has the guts to launch a sneak attack in front of so many police officers?
A figure flashed past him in a flash.

Immediately following was a soft, sweet voice that reached my ears: "Wenjie!"

He froze on the spot, a sudden light flashing in his eyes: Shanshan...it's Yang Shanshan!
Yes, it's definitely Yang Shanshan!
He had just sidestepped and missed the girl who was running towards him.

I watched as she took a few light, quick steps forward before finally regaining her balance.

The girl turned her head, her face showing undisguised grievance. She pouted and said breathlessly, "Wenjie, why are you dodging me? You almost made me fall! You're so mean!"

The girl in front of him was charming and beautiful. Her eyes widened slightly, and she raised her alabaster-white arm to point at him, her mouth opening and closing as she complained.

That's Yang Shanshan!
Those complaints, when they reached his ears, did not make him feel unhappy at all; on the contrary, they made him feel quite comfortable.

It felt so good, like drinking a refreshing iced drink on a hot summer day, making my whole body feel light and airy.

Although he was a little lightheaded, his rational thinking remained, and a series of questions kept surfacing in his mind:

How could this be? How could Yang Shanshan remember him?

After Jia Nan's life trajectory was corrected, he no longer worked at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

That means he and Yang Shanshan have no further contact.

The reason he remembers Yang Shanshan is that every time his life trajectory is rewritten, his memory does not refresh itself, but rather it is as if multiple memory lines are mixed together.

So he remembers everything that happened before... everything about Yang Shanshan.

……

His mind was in turmoil, but that didn't hinder his instincts as a man.

He walked step by step to Yang Shanshan, gazing at her with deep affection:
"Yang...Shanshan!"

He whispered her name and suddenly pulled Yang Shanshan into his arms.

He had waited so long for this hug...

He even thought he would never see her again in this lifetime... so he tightened his arms around her, trying to lock the girl in his arms into his body.

No one can take her away from me.

"Wenjie, what's wrong with you..." Yang Shanshan's body stiffened, then slowly softened in his passionate embrace. She nestled in Wenjie's arms, murmuring, "Wenjie, be gentle, you're hurting me..."

Hehe, that sounds even more comforting... Wenjie thought mischievously to himself.

Sensing that someone from his teammates was looking at them, Wenjie realized he was on a mission and slowly released Yang Shanshan.

Although the system's mission was to correct the incident of Yang Shanshan's murder, and the girl strapped with explosives was just an NPC, he couldn't stand idly by because of his duty.

What if the whole incident becomes connected to Yang Shanshan's murder and becomes part of a life trajectory correction?

That would transform from a system scenario into a real-world event.

He didn't want innocent people to be harmed.

He could only put his doubts aside for the time being. He quickly walked to the cordon and asked his teammate, "Which area are you in charge of?"

The other person's brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at the busy bomb disposal experts inside, letting out a barely audible sigh:

"You're in charge of the western section of Zhongjie Street. Something happened here, so I was temporarily reassigned here. What about you?"

Wenjie was about to answer when Yang Shanshan, who had followed closely behind, interrupted him: "Him? He's in charge of the international trade area." Yang Shanshan's voice was soft, with the gentle accent of a southerner speaking Mandarin.

The longer you spend with her, the more you appreciate her gentle and subtle tone.

A while ago, for some reason, he started having strange dreams at night.

In my dream, there was a girl with a soft voice and a blurry face.

After waking up, it's inevitable to feel a bit lost for a while.

He deliberately avoided thinking about the dream. He knew who he dreamed about, and he also knew that dreaming about it was meaningless.

Hearing Yang Shanshan's words, he smiled knowingly.

He thought to himself: Yang Shanshan knows quite a lot.

What did he and Yang Shanshan experience before the explosion?
He tried to recall, but as soon as he tried to think hard enough, he felt the veins on his forehead throbbing and his head throbbing with pain, making it difficult for him to concentrate.

"call!"

He let out a sigh of resignation.

He leaned closer to the guy next to him and asked casually, "Hey buddy, I'm in charge of the east side of Zhongjie Street. By the way, before we spotted this woman, did anything unusual happen?"

"Abnormal?" Yang Shanshan repeated playfully beside her.

The other party repeated "abnormal".

Are you guys just parrots...? Wenjie was speechless.

"Wearing explosives isn't unusual, but what exactly is unusual...?" Yang Shanshan thought to herself.

The other party seemed to understand, thought about it carefully for a moment, and said:
"To be honest, after seeing this girl and that flashy explosives on her, we all rushed to her side to try and save her. So..."

So, without paying attention to his surroundings... Wenjie pursed his lips, inwardly grumbling.

If he remembered correctly, when he arrived, he saw the countdown timer on the trigger device connected to the explosive, which showed a time of 0:50:55.

So, the countdown should have started from one hour, meaning he arrived five minutes later.

"Then what about them..." Wenjie glanced at his teammates who had arrived before him.

They estimated that the girl was about 4 and a half minutes old.

Wenjie looked around and saw several police cars scattered along the street in front of the station. Apart from a group of bomb disposal experts, special police, and regular police officers standing on their side, the only other people on the empty street were the police officers on the west side who were still clearing out the rioters.

In this situation, it would be an almost impossible task for the thugs to tie a girl up, plant a bomb, and then escape.

How did he do it?
