The moment the flames burst forth, the only thing Wu Kuifeng managed to do was to tackle Liang Yan to the ground.
However, an ironic twist of fate occurred.
The flames flickered, and immediately thick smoke billowed out from the cardboard box, accompanied by a moderate explosion sound.
Although the bomb exploded, its power was pitifully low, not even managing to shred the box.
Wu Kuifeng and Liang Yan climbed back up from the ground, their faces turning exceptionally grim.
Not only did their panicked response seem foolish, but also because... this was just a diversion; the real bomb wasn't even here.
At the same time, the billowing smoke drew the attention of the officers outside, and almost all of them, except those managing the crowd, rushed inside.
What they saw, however, was merely a smoke-emitting cardboard box.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Liang Yan patted the dust off himself, staring intently at the box.
"We were played for fools."
