Chapter 586 Bomb - Sniffing Training

Iris was sleeping deeply in the arms of Jin Liwei. She had a long day. The combination of exhaustion, painkillers and everything that happened at the mall knocked her out into a dreamless slumber during the helicopter ride home.

Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao’s expressions were grim as they walked inside the mansion. The butler and other household staff bowed, the concern for their mistress obvious in their eyes. Even the usually talkative Dom who always tried to lighten the atmosphere stayed silent. He was still in shock, unable to understand how another human being could give his boss a bomb, wanting to kill her and other innocent people.

It was already late in the evening. A few hours ago, Jin Liwei and Xu Tian finally arrived at the mall and met with Iris’ group. Jin Liwei barely had any time to express his concern for his baby girl when the police found them, wanting to question Iris and the others.

Jin Liwei wanted to bring his baby girl to the hospital first for a comprehensive check-up, but the police insisted that the questioning couldn’t wait because the bomb incident was declared a high-priority case.

The police’s main question was how Iris knew that the cake box contained a bomb.

"I didn’t know," Iris told them.

"Then why did you throw the box in the air?"

"I just followed my intuition."

The police officers looked a little skeptical at first but continued listening to her.

"The way the man kept on looking at me made me uncomfortable. I felt that something wasn’t right. And also the weight of the box felt wrong. I receive a lot of cakes and pastries as presents from fans so I know how to discern if what I’m holding is a cake or not. I don’t know how to explain it but I guess it’s all thanks to my intuition. As they say, women’s intuition is frighteningly accurate sometimes. So I just tossed the box as far away as I could. I was also shocked that it turned out to be a bomb. I had no idea."

Her grave and sincere tone, in addition to her beautiful face and the bandages covering her jaw, neck and shoulder, somewhat persuaded the police and prompted them not to question her too hard. They knew that Tian Kong was an obsessed fan of hers and specifically handed her the cake box. It was obvious that his main target was to kill her. Iris Long was the main victim of this bomb incident. Most importantly, the police considered her as the heroine who saved a lot of innocent lives from being killed. If she didn’t throw the box up in the air...it would have been a huge tragedy.

The police believed her. After all, how could a pampered young woman who was also a popular celebrity, a young miss of a wealthy family, and the fiancée of Jin Corporation’s President-CEO know anything about bombs? She must be telling the truth.

Dom, Tang Yiyi and the bodyguards were also questioned. Their statements all matched, cementing the police’s judgment that Iris was telling the truth.

Everyone was relieved when the police officers left. When they were gone, Lu Zihao walked out of a corner in the hallway. His hearing might not be as great as his sister’s, but it was still extraordinary compared to normal people. He arrived while the police were questioning his sister’s group. Since he was "allergic" to the police, he didn’t enter the room and hid behind a wall at a corner instead, eavesdropping on the conversations inside.

He knew that his sister was not telling the entire truth during her statement to the police. Yes, he also believed that her intuition told her that the box contained something dangerous. However, he knew that it wasn’t the sole reason why she threw it up in the air.

Memories of their past life flashed inside his mind. He remembered a child Evelina being lectured by their mother because she was resisting the "lessons" their mother was forcing on her. One of the "lessons" included a bomb-sniffing training. Security bodies all around the world employed sniffer dogs to search for explosives, bombs and other contrabands but the Vetrov organization trained humans instead.

He and his little sister also had to go through this bomb-sniffing training as part of their education, but both of them weren’t talented in this area. Despite this, they could still easily identify the most common explosives through their sense of smell due to the training, even though they weren’t as skilled compared to the elite human contraband sniffers in their organization.

Lu Zihao walked inside the cramped mall office and saw his sister being cradled in the arms of Jin Liwei. Although her outer shell was now different, she was still his beloved little sister. His hands clenched into tight fists, resisting the urge to punch Jin Liwei in the face. A silent humph sounded inside him but he ignored it.

Back to the present, Jin Liwei carried Iris and headed to their bedroom suite. Lu Zihao followed them. Dom headed to his own room. Ice Cream and Popcorn were meowing loudly, their concerned eyes not leaving their sleeping mommy as they trotted beside their daddy’s feet.

Lu Zihao watched as Jin Liwei laid his little sister gently on their bed and covered her with the duvet. The two cats jumped on the bed and curled beside her. Jin Liwei kissed her forehead, her closed eyes, the tip of her nose, and finally her lips. His kisses were feather-light, as if Jin Liwei was afraid of hurting her. Jin Liwei stroked her hair while various emotions flashed in his eyes.

Watching the scene, Lu Zihao could see how much the man loved his sister and felt reassured that Jin Liwei would always prioritize her no matter what. He watched Jin Liwei trying to control the myriad emotions from overwhelming him, breaking his usual cold expression.
