At the backstage of the concert venue Zhang Xinya had already arrived more than an hour ago. At this time the staff were busy preparing various costumes, props, and so on for her. She was also receiving makeup from several makeup artists.

“Miss Zhang, may I have your time for a while?” The middle-aged woman from the Ministry of State Security entered the dressing room and spoke to Zhang Xinya.

“No problem,” Zhang Xinya got up and answered without hesitation.

Immediately after, the two left the dressing room and came to the empty room next door. The middle-aged woman then said, “Miss Zhang, the leader has instructed the concert to be postponed for an hour, and the fans can also only enter the stadium an hour later. Secretary Liu was originally planning to discuss it with you personally, but there was an important matter he needed to deal with. He’s occupied now, and unable to come over.”

“What happened, exactly?” asked Zhang Xinya hurriedly.

“A large number of time bombs were found in the auditorium of the concert hall. There were also pushpins with HIV there. As of now, all the time bombs have been removed and are secretly being sent away. However, our people are still searching and removing the pushpins one by one.”

Zhang Xinya’s complexion drastically changed. Although she had learned that there would be extremists trying to terrorize tonight’s concert, she had never thought that they would be so heartless and went so far as to set up time bombs. However, as if she had suddenly realizing something, she quickly asked, “That’s not right! The way HIV is transmitted is very particular. Even if it’s smeared on a pushpin and someone were to be pierced by it, the probability to get infected would be very minute, right? Why would they…”

The middle-aged woman forced out a smile and said, “If it was merely a normal HIV-infected blood we wouldn’t have been so anxious like this, since there is the factor that the virus will die over time; thus, the extremists’ attempt to scratch people’s body with the blood-smeared pushpins indeed only has a very minute probability to get them infected. However, there’s a very skillful biologist in their ranks. The HIV-infected blood seems to have been altered and modified by a particular virus. Hence, not only is it no longer constrained by time, but it’s now very contagious; even an ordinary person can’t avoid being infected. As a matter of fact, we had already discovered this new strain of HIV as early as a few years ago. However, many domestic virologists are still unable to solve this problem till now.”

“If such dreadful thing exists, wouldn’t it be very easy for them to do harm?” Asked Zhang Xinya with a horrified expression.

The middle-aged woman shook her head, “We speculate that even if these terrorists want to get a lot of samples of this new type of HIV, I’m afraid that it wouldn’t be that easy. Otherwise, with their hatred toward society, a major incident using this type of virus would have happened already.”

After hearing this, Zhang Xinya’s restlessness slowly calmed down. Then, she asked, “Have your people caught the terrorists?”

“Not yet. We have not yet discovered when and how they infiltrated the concert hall,” the middle-aged woman shook her head. “However, you can rest assured that our State Security’s people, the police, and the armed police officers are all waiting for them to enter. As long they dare to show up we will make sure to bring them to justice.”

Despite nodding to her, Zhang Xinya’s worried heart didn’t didn’t relax. After hesitating for a moment, she then asked, “Did Tang Xiu come?”

“Yeah, he’s already here. In fact, the time bombs as well as the pushpins on the seats were found by him,” said the middle-aged woman.

“Tang Xiu found them? He…” Zhang Xinya exclaimed. There was shock and surprise on her face.

“He really is very skillful, and is now working with Secretary Liu to conduct a thorough investigation inside in the concert hall,” said the middle-aged woman.

After hearing this, Zhang Xinya suddenly felt relieved. She had seen Tang Xiu’s resourcefulness, and she already knew that Tang Xiu was a very powerful character. The fact that he found all the time bombs and pushpins showed that he was more skillful than she knew.

With Tang Xiu here, she suddenly felt very relieved.

During the prep session inside the concert hall, nearly a hundred security guards and police officers were carefully conducted an investigation, since Liu Changxi personally issued the order that each seat must be checked again, hence the reason for everyone’s diligence.

“Be quicker and do be very careful when you check it!”

Standing beside Tang Xiu, Liu Changxi quickly ordered through his wireless earphone. Whereas Tang Xiu quietly leaned on the stage with a cigarette in his fingers, eyes flashing with a thoughtful look.

The methods used by the terrorists caused Tang Xiu to refuse to believe that they would only have the two plans. They were probably already aware that the chance for the time bombs and the HIV to be found in advance was high, so they must be planning some other vile and ruthless scheme.

However, what was it?

Although Tang Xiu possessed knowledge and experience, yet those were all from the Immortal World. He was rather oblivious to various dangerous methods one could employ in this present high-tech era.

“Secretary Liu, please take care of your work, I will take a stroll outside. There might be some other discoveries,” Tang Xiu extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can nearby.

“Tang Xiu, wait! I’ll get you two men to protect you in secret!” Said Liu Changxi quickly.

“No need, thanks,” said Tang Xiu as he waved his hand.
