The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

A masked man in camouflage looked at the monitor and turned around, saying, "Luke, it looks like there's a fire, but we haven't found the source."

The man behind replied in English: "Ignore it, cut off all surveillance."

The manager's shouts kept coming from the security guard's walkie-talkie on the desk, "Where exactly is the fire? Are you an idiot? It's been so long and you still haven't found it? Do you even want this job anymore?..."

The man raised his gun butt and smashed the walkie-talkie to pieces, leaving only the crackling sound of electricity.

"let's start."

At the command, a large number of well-equipped masked men immediately poured out of the hotel corridors, ceilings, and stairwells, indiscriminately firing at the crowd.

"Ahhh!"

"Someone fired a shot!"

"Run!"

"The gun is real! Run!"

……

As people continued to fall, screams rang out, and people scattered in all directions, turning the entire hall into chaos.

The foreigner in the lead raised his hand, and the gunfire immediately stopped. He shouted in fluent Chinese, "Anyone who wants to live, get down, or... bullets don't have eyes."

The person next to him scoffed, "Luke, why bother? Just kill them all."

"This is bait. Aren't those soldiers most willing to sacrifice their lives for insignificant people? Then let them stay here with us."

The man's voice was cold and ruthless.

The subordinate next to him gave a wicked smile, "Hehe, you're right. The bombs are all planted, so we can't waste our efforts. This is called maximizing value."

However, they did not expect that Lin Xi was searching for bombs everywhere, with Xiao Yi guiding the way in his mind.

She heard the gunshots, of course, but she couldn't care less at the moment; she could only pray that the SWAT team would arrive quickly.

Defused the bomb is the most urgent thing to do now, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Not only will the people in the hotel not be able to escape, but the pedestrians in the vicinity will also be affected.

Fu Wenyuan, who was ordering food in the coffee shop, did not notice that the hotel had soundproofing, and the loud gunshots were masked by the sound of traffic.

It wasn't until the waiter brought over the finished cake and cookies that he realized something was wrong. "Why is this kid taking so long to get something?"

Yu Guangyao instructed his young apprentice beside him, "Go and take a look."

Fu Wenyuan was still worried. "Never mind, I'll go check it out."

As he approached the hotel, he saw a crowd gathered at the entrance, pointing and whispering. His eyelids twitched, and he quickened his pace to get closer. "Young man, what are you all looking at here?"

"I heard there's a fire inside."

"Fire?!"

Fu Wenyuan immediately rushed into the hotel, but the young man grabbed him, saying, "Hey, grandpa, you can't get in. The door is locked for some reason."

Fu Wenyuan didn't believe it. "How could the door be locked? There are people inside!"

After pulling for a long time, the door didn't budge.

The young man stepped forward to reassure him, "Grandpa, don't worry. We've been watching for a while and haven't seen any smoke, so the fire probably isn't big."

These words did not comfort Fu Wenyuan. He picked up his phone to call Lin Xi while anxiously pacing around, but Lin Xi had already silenced her phone and the call did not go through.

Fu Wenyuan was filled with regret; he should have come with his child.

He glanced around, picked up a brick from the roadside, and smashed it against the hotel door again and again.

Just then, sirens sounded behind them, and one police car and military vehicle after another stopped in front of the hotel.

Fu Wenyuan was taken aback. Wasn't there a fire? Why were there police cars?

A large number of fully armed special police officers got out of the car, immediately surrounded the hotel, and began to drive away the surrounding crowd. Fu Wenyuan was also pulled away.

"Officer, my little apprentice is still inside! What happened?"

The police didn't say anything; if they told everyone there were terrorists inside, it would definitely cause panic.

The more he remained silent, the more anxious Fu Wenyuan became, losing his composure and shouting that he wanted to go in together to find his little apprentice.

The shouting attracted someone's attention. A masked special forces soldier walked up to Fu Wenyuan and said, "Sir, no matter what happens, we will not abandon any civilian. Don't worry, Xiaoxi will be alright."

Her voice was clear and gentle.

Fu Wenyuan was stunned for a moment because he didn't expect her to be a woman. He only realized how she knew Xiao Xi's name after she walked away.

Lin Xi was currently defusing the bombs under Xiao Yi's guidance, racing against time. The more she defused the bombs, the more alarmed she became. She had no idea how long these people had been planning this. Every hidden corner of the hotel had been planted with bombs. If they were all detonated, the entire street would probably be reduced to ruins.

Police were dispersing the crowd outside, while SWAT teams and a special forces unit had quietly infiltrated the hotel through ventilation shafts. Little did they know, all of this was part of the terrorists' plan.

"Boss, these bombs have been defused."

"It's been demolished?"

A cool, clear female voice rang out, "Continue the search."

Lin Xi was sweating profusely from her busy work when she heard a faint sound behind her, which seemed to be footsteps. Could it be terrorists?

She immediately stopped what she was doing and found a secluded corner to hide in.

The footsteps grew closer, and Lin Xi's heart pounded like thunder; she had never been so nervous before.

Even if she were discovered, she could protect herself, but who knows if these extremist terrorists would suddenly detonate bombs and kill everyone in the building? There are still many bombs left undefended, enough to wipe out everyone in the building.

She quietly turned her head and saw five special forces soldiers in combat uniforms slowly approaching through the gaps in the wooden planks. Judging from their attire, they were clearly regular troops from within the country. Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that they were one of their own.

The leader glanced at the corner, his eyes suddenly turning fierce.

With a "whoosh," a throwing knife stuck into the wooden board in front of Lin Xi, the tip of the knife piercing through the board and almost hitting her forehead.

"come out!"

Lin Xi slowly moved the wooden board aside, inwardly sighing, "As expected of our Chinese special forces, how did they discover me without me even moving?"

Well... why does this voice sound so familiar?

The five people were taken aback when they saw that it was a young girl, but the leader exclaimed with delight, "Xiao Xi?"

Even though he was fully disguised and his face was obscured, Lin Xi recognized him immediately by his familiar tone. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she exclaimed, "Teacher Yang?!"

Yang Qingning's demeanor suddenly changed, and she said gently, "Xiao Xi, come here quickly! You weren't scared just now, were you?"

Lin Xi was still in shock. "No, it's nothing, Teacher Yang, you..."

"I'll explain my identity to you later. Why are you hiding here?"

"Uh, I wasn't hiding. I was defusing a bomb, and I hid when I heard a sound."

"Did you defuse all those bombs?"

"Ah."

The other four were also shocked. "Boss, aren't you an English teacher? You even teach bomb disposal?"

Yang Qingning had always known that Lin Xi was different from others, but she hadn't expected her to have this kind of ability. "Alright, let's get down to business first. You two work in pairs and continue the search..."

Lin Xi raised her hand. "Teacher, I know where the bombs are."
