Safeguarding the People with Their Dedication - The Most Admirable Souls

Five grenades!

It wasn't just those at the scene; even the viewers in the live broadcast room were left dumbfounded.

Saa was even tempted to rush up to Xia Zixin.

Didn't you state there were only four grenades?!

Furthermore, it was a fragmentation grenade with the moniker "Lemon"!

At this juncture...

The officer had already removed the backpack from the hook on the desk.

They gently set it down on the ground.

"Report!

"I am prepared to disarm the grenades!"

Upon hearing this, Captain Zhao promptly reached for the walkie-talkie.

"Cease the operation!

"Everyone, standby!

"Something's off!"

Saa was already sprinting toward Xia Zixin.

His expression deeply troubled.

He hadn't anticipated this seemingly innocent young girl to be so mischievous.

Five grenades instead of four?

What was the rationale behind this surplus fragmentation grenade?

Saa decided to seek clarification.

In the event of an accident, the repercussions could be unimaginable!

Captain Zhao joined the approach as well.

However, upon reaching Xia Zixin, his demeanor shifted to one of gentleness.

After all, she was a little girl.

If they scared her, she was not going to speak.

Xia Zixin stood beside her homeroom teacher while gazing up at the clouds. Her thoughts were inscrutable.

Upon hearing footsteps, she pivoted and smiled. "Mr. Saa!"

"Xia Zixin, I have another question for you," Saa commenced.

"This police officer wishes to pose a question to you.

"Promise not to fib, alright?"

Xia Zixin obediently nodded, "Alright!"

She then gazed upward at Captain Zhao.

"Officer, I won't tell lies. You're good people!"

Captain Zhao inhaled deeply and prepared to soften his tone.

"Xia Zixin, I only have one question!

"You indicated earlier that the bag contained a tear gas grenade, a smoke grenade, a flashbang, and a fragmentation grenade, correct?

"However, I just noticed your bag actually holds two fragmentation grenades. What's the explanation for this?"

After a brief reflection, Xia Zixin innocently replied, "So there was a total of five, huh? I thought there were only four!

"I quietly brought them from home, so I didn't inspect them closely... Officer, will you be upset with me?"

Upon hearing this, Captain Zhao was momentarily taken aback.

Saa was equally surprised.

They exchanged glances and perceived a sense of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Xia Zixin's response genuinely aligned with a child's thought process.

She had surreptitiously taken the grenades from home.

How could she be expected to count them accurately?

For a child so young, she might not even understand the concept of "lying."

How could she possibly fabricate a falsehood?

Captain Zhao exhaled audibly. "Can you tell me one more thing? Are your grenades truly safe and won't explode?"

Xia Zixin vigorously nodded, "Of course! Grenades have safety mechanisms. You have to pull the pin before they'll detonate!"

Captain Zhao affirmed with a nod.

However, his countenance lacked a hint of relief.

At best, he could verify that the child's statement was true. Yet, when addressing specific issues, this information was unlikely to be deemed reliable.

Furthermore, Xia Zixin's earlier account of the number of grenades had been incorrect.

The safety of the grenades remained uncertain as well.

Captain Zhao promptly made a call.

A minute later, the bomb squad within the teaching building received new mission instructions.

They were to transport the bag to an open area for the safe disposal of the grenades.

Preventing any mishaps was paramount.

Currently, everyone's focus was directed at the screen.

As a seasoned host, even in the midst of such tension, Saa continued to provide commentary.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your host, Saa!

"We observe that when these explosion-proof personnel learned of the presence of grenades in the teaching building, they entered without hesitation.

"Each of them is someone's son, someone's husband. However, at this moment, they are answering the call of duty!

"They're using their own bodies to ensure the safety of the people!

"They are individuals worthy of our admiration. They are the most endearing people!"

In response to Saa's words, the audience within the live broadcast room was equally moved.

They all sent out messages.

"Our police aren't like any others. Elsewhere, they're simply men and women in uniforms. That's the distinction!"

"There's never truly a time of undisturbed peace; it's simply a time when someone shoulders the burden and presses onward! So touching!"

"I'm so touched!"

While the nonsensical netizens still found ways to engage in their antics, there was still genuine concern for the explosion-proof personnel.

Even amidst the occasional playful comments, the police were genuinely utilizing their bodies to ensure everyone's safety.

Nobody knew what would transpire upon opening the bag.

Inside were two fragmentation grenades!

"Everyone, step back!

"Retreat beyond the security perimeter!"

Several officers gradually extended the cordon and expanded the quarantine zone.

Simultaneously, a few explosion-proof personnel escorted the backpack to the center of the field.

This was a regulation-sized soccer field. It was a sufficiently safe distance away.

They cautiously placed the backpack on the ground.

A camera was secured to the officer's chest. Its lens remained unobstructed.

All eyes were fixed on the bag. Not even a whisper dared to escape.

"Oh my goodness!"

"I caught a glimpse inside the bag. Those are indeed grenades!"

"Good gracious, I'm breaking out in a cold sweat. I'm so anxious that I'm trembling. Aside from movies, I've never seen a grenade in real life!"

"Exercise extreme caution!"

"Just these small objects possess such tremendous power. Humans are truly terrifying creatures..."

The cartoonish backpack was slowly unzipped.

The five grenades within were gradually revealed beneath the sunlight.

The bomb squad operated meticulously. Rather than immediately grasping the grenades, they methodically opened the backpack.

Now that they had a comprehensive view of the interior, they could proceed to the next step.

At this juncture, due to the wide opening of the backpack, one of the grenades that was positioned near the edge unexpectedly rolled out!

A collective hiss swept through the onlookers.

Saa's eyes widened, and a bead of perspiration traced a path down Captain Zhao's temple.

In the live broadcast room, the audience's breath collectively held.

All minds went momentarily blank.

It was as if everyone had been rendered speechless.
