He quickly arrived at the cable car entrance.
Qin Xuan anxiously awaited the arrival of the next cable car.
If this villain intended to cause further destruction, he certainly wouldn't have planted only one bomb!
As expected.
After the passengers from the next cable car had disembarked, a gift-box-sized timed bomb was revealed to Qin Xuan.
He made a decisive move, walking directly to the bomb and picking it up. Then, with his back to all the tourists, he slipped into the rearmost part of the cable car.
It was currently the peak period for cable car usage, and he couldn't stop all cable cars from operating at any given moment.
Firstly, the inexplicable halt of the cable cars would cause panic among the tourists.
If that alerted the villain and allowed him to escape, Xiao Ya's situation would be extremely perilous.
Secondly, a sudden anomaly might provoke the villain's rebellious nature.
These timed bombs were all equipped with remote control devices.
If such an abnormal situation displeased the other party.
And they decided to go all out, detonating the bombs directly.
Then the thousands of tourists sightseeing in the vicinity would likely not survive!
Fortunately, besides the remote control capability, the structure of this timed bomb was relatively simple.
There were no additional complex detonation mechanisms such as gyroscopes or anti-kinetic devices.
So, Qin Xuan simply cut the bomb's connecting wires when no one was paying attention, successfully disarming it.
Ten minutes later, the cable car reached the station. He hurried to hand the bomb over to the waiting bomb disposal experts, while he himself boarded the returning cable car once more.
He went back and forth several times, finally disarming almost all the timed bombs.
Except...
The cable car that the villain and Xiao Ya were on.
Yes.
As the agreed-upon three-hour deadline approached, the tall villain, along with Xiao Ya, entered a sightseeing cable car.
And the two had not emerged since entering, continuously circling above the Yangtze River with the cable car's movement.
Finally, at the exact moment the three hours elapsed, Qin Xuan's phone rang punctually.
Qin Xuan, standing outside the cable car, answered the call and then deliberately growled fiercely into the phone, "I'm at the cableway entrance now, what exactly do you want?!"
As Qin Xuan's voice faded, the villain's playful voice came through the earpiece.
"Oh my, as expected of General Qin Xuan."
"Even when I've narrowed down the search to the entire Jiangcheng, you could still accurately locate us."
"However, there are too many flies in this place. Shouldn't you tell the special forces and snipers ambushing around the cableway to stay further away?"
"To be honest, including the cable car I'm in, I've planted timed bombs in all the cable cars on the Yangtze River Cableway."
"If these snipers accidentally startle me, I can't guarantee I won't have a shaky hand and detonate all the bombs."
Upon hearing the voice, Qin Xuan immediately confirmed the other party's identity.
It was the tall villain he had encountered on flight LG-5402!
"Alright."
"I can agree to your demands."
"But I must hear Xiao Ya's voice first."
"No problem."
The tall villain smiled slightly and directly placed the phone near Xiao Ya's ear.
Xiao Ya also appeared very calm, merely offering a gentle reassurance to Qin Xuan, "Qin Xuan, I'm fine, don't worry."
"How is it?"
"Has it eased your longing?"
"Hahahaha!"
After her words, the phone was taken back by the tall villain, and behind his unrestrained laughter were dozens of panicked faces.
"Everyone, retreat two thousand meters immediately!"
As the order was given, the special forces elites from the military region and the law enforcement bureau responded by retreating.
At the same time, the tall villain let out a triumphant, loud laugh.
"Good, all forces are at your command, truly worthy of being Dragon Country's General Qin Xuan!"
"Our cable car will arrive shortly, you step forward a few paces."
"When the cable car door opens, you come directly aboard."
After speaking, the call was immediately hung up.
Qin Xuan quickly contacted Yuan Mengqi, who was located at the perimeter of the scenic spot, via radio.
"The other party can know the movements of the surrounding troops through some means."
"Fortunately, they don't seem to have seen the bombs being disarmed. You should quickly have someone search for any suspicious signal emitters around."
"Understood!"
Yuan Mengqi responded and immediately got out of the car to deploy the search.
After communicating with Yuan Mengqi, Qin Xuan threw the radio communicator far away.
Once he boarded the cable car, the villain would surely search him. If he found such a communication device on him, it might arouse suspicion.
Click, hiss...
As the cable car door slowly opened, several tourists at the entrance immediately scrambled out.
The remaining tourists followed suit, also wanting to leave, but were startled into crouching by a loud explosion.
"Everyone, clear a path for General Qin."
"If I see anyone else trying to escape, the next shot will be for your heads!"
With the threat of a handgun, how could the tourists dare to say anything more?
They made a path as instructed by the villain, allowing Qin Xuan to meet with the villain smoothly.
"General Qin, we meet again."
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Qi Feiyang."
As the cable car started, Qi Feiyang's face was filled with a pure smile.
If they hadn't just witnessed him menacingly threatening the crowd with a gun, the tourists would have only seen him as a harmless young man.
Qin Xuan was also surprised by Qi Feiyang's true appearance.
Based on his previous encounter, the opponent was at least a Martial Dao Grandmaster with a destructive power of around 120.
Yet, judging by his appearance, he was only around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, not much older than Yuan Mengqi and the others.
One should not underestimate this not-so-significant age difference.
It was worth noting that Yuan Mengqi and the others had achieved rapid progress through occasional guidance from three divine-level supreme experts.
If they had cultivated normally, they might have needed another six months to a year to break through the bottleneck of Martial Dao Grandmaster.
In other words, without the guidance of Qin Xuan's three masters, even if Yuan Mengqi and the other four reached Qi Feiyang's current age, they might not have achieved as much as him.
In other words, Qi Feiyang's martial arts potential was even greater than that of the Four Golden Flowers!
Glancing at Xiao Ya, who was unharmed, and then at the outstretched right hand of the other party, Qin Xuan did not hesitate.
He extended his right hand and shook Qi Feiyang's hand very naturally.
Qi Feiyang's lips curved upwards, and words of praise flowed from his mouth, "As expected of General Qin, remaining calm and composed even in such a situation."
"No wonder you were able to interfere with our operations on the plane back then and save an entire aircraft full of people."
"However..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qi Feiyang's eyes narrowed, and his tone shifted.
"You disrupted our operations, and the organization is very angry. The consequences are severe."
"I was severely reprimanded by the boss."
"So today, you must pay the price for this!"
