Su Ci stared at the figure before him in disbelief, unable to comprehend, “How could this be a mannequin without facial features?”
Gu Dai and Su Ting couldn’t see the specific situation, but based on Su Ci’s description, they could imagine the scene.
If the person on the scene was a mannequin, then where was Father Su really? What was his intention in having Su Ci come here?
Su Ci glanced over the mannequin and noticed a device at the tie that flickered on and off. Connecting the dots with their previous conversation, an answer quickly formed in his mind.
This device could be a camera, used by Father Su to monitor his actions and conversations.
Su Ci’s expression darkened as he coldly inquired, “Where are you?”
Father Su didn’t respond, but a piercing laugh came from the glowing device. He mocked, “Su Ci, you’re really foolish. It took you so long to realize something was wrong. I don’t even want to acknowledge you as my son!”
Su Ci’s expression remained unchanged as he coldly asked, “What did you trick me into coming here for?”
Father Su’s voice was filled with coldness, “What I hate the most is betrayal. Since you’re so intent on helping Gu Dai, then you no longer need to exist. Go to hell, go to hell!”
As his chilling roar ended, the plane’s cabin door instantly shut tight, followed by urgent beeping sounds.
Su Ci clearly heard the sound coming from the mannequin and, realizing this, swiftly tore open the mannequin’s clothing to reveal a ticking time bomb inside.
His pupils sharply contracted as he took a deep breath to calm himself.
Gu Dai also heard the sound and saw the plane’s door shut, anxiously inquiring, “What’s happening on your end? Can you still get out?”
Su Ci looked at the countdown on the time bomb, his lips pressed tightly together until they turned white, “There’s a time bomb here with a ten-minute countdown. There’s still time. I’ll try to crack the plane door’s code.”
Hearing the situation on Su Ci’s end, Gu Dai’s heart also raced, her hand holding the phone trembling.
Su Ting took the phone, holding Gu Dai’s hand, and softly said, “Daidai, we need to stay calm now to focus on cracking the code to save brother.”
Gu Dai’s gaze gradually hardened, and she nodded, “Right!”
Seeing Gu Dai’s mood improve, Su Ting reassured Su Ci over the phone, “Big brother, we still have time. We can crack the password.”
Su Ci didn’t harbor much hope but still responded, “Okay.”
Su Ting said, “Brother, turn on the phone’s camera so we can see the situation there.”
Hearing their conversation, Father Su scoffed at their futile efforts, “Of course, I know a mere password lock won’t trap you inside, so I made a backup plan. For instance, this bomb is actually linked to the plane’s door. Once you open the door, the bomb’s countdown will accelerate, and it will explode immediately!”
Father Su laughed ominously, “Save your energy and stop struggling. Just wait and watch the death unfold!”
Su Ci’s expression grew even grimmer, his hands clenched into fists, and with a fierce gaze, he smashed the small camera device to pieces.
He took a deep breath and muttered, “Daidai, I might really die this time…”
Gu Dai interrupted him, taking a deep breath to calm herself before seriously saying, “You won’t die. I will definitely save you.”
Su Ting added, “Yes, brother, I’ve already sent for a bomb tech. He’ll surely find a way to defuse the bomb and save you.”
Su Ci, watching the bomb’s countdown ticking by second by second, whispered, “It’s too late…”
Gu Dai said, “Aim the camera at the bomb. Let me see if there’s a way to defuse it.”
Though without much hope, Su Ci did as Gu Dai requested.
Gu Dai glanced at the bomb and then let out a sigh of relief, smiling, “I have a way to defuse it.”
She remembered designing the bomb herself for an organization years ago, and the method to defuse it quickly came to mind. However, she wondered how Father Su got hold of this bomb.
Confused by this question, Gu Dai knew it wasn’t the time to dwell on it and focused entirely on guiding the bomb’s defusal.
