I was just telling a story, why is the whole internet urging me to turn myself in?

"Bang--!"

The heavy tactical breaching hammer made a deafening thud, and the rusted iron door of the abandoned cold storage, which was ten centimeters thick, was forcibly blasted open, leaving a gap.

Two stun grenades were thrown into the room through the gap.

"Lie down!" the chubby boy in the lead yelled, and the three delinquents instinctively covered their heads and lay face down on the muddy ground full of puddles.

A bright light and a piercing sonic boom suddenly exploded inside the cold storage!

"Jiangzhou Defense Agency Special Operations! Drop your weapons and put your hands behind your head!" Six fully armed tactical agents stormed in like black tigers, their infrared laser beams instantly intertwining on Li Donghai's trench coat.

However, Lee Donghae, who was supposed to be briefly deprived of his sight and hearing by the stun grenade, was instead wearing a pair of heavy industrial-grade welding goggles!

He was prepared!

Seeing the special agents rushing in, Li Donghai showed no fear on his face, but instead let out an extremely manic and cruel laugh.

"You arrived faster than I expected...but what's the use?!"

Lee Donghae suddenly ripped open his trench coat, revealing a dozen or so pale white self-sealing bags tied around his waist.

With a "click," a windproof lighter ignited a pale blue flame at his fingertips.

The assault team leader's pupils contracted sharply. In the beam of his tactical flashlight, he saw the contents of the bags, and a chill ran down his spine: "Cease fire! It's high-concentration starch! Retreat—!"

The cold storage was originally used to coat fish fillets with batter and process them; the environment was extremely enclosed.

Once Li Donghai tears the bag and causes the dust to become suspended, even a tiny spark could cause a dust explosion comparable to heavy TNT!

In this confined space, the six assault agents and three children, along with Li Donghai himself, would be instantly vaporized by the 2,000-degree heat!

"Nobody's leaving! That guy forced me to this. If we can't live, then we'll all go to hell together!" Li Donghai roared madly, pulling a lighter from his waist and aiming it at the powder bag at his waist.

A deathly silence fell over the scene; the assault agents didn't even dare to pull the trigger.

The sparks generated by the bullet rubbing against the iron wall can also ignite the dust!

"Captain Su! The suspect is attempting to create a dust explosion; we cannot launch a direct assault!" the vice-captain roared into the communication channel.

Su Qing was extremely anxious as she sat on the container outside the cold storage.

What to do? Retreating means watching Li Donghai drag people down with him, not retreating means total annihilation!

At this critical moment, a very crisp sound of a can being opened came from the tactical headsets of all the special operations agents.

"Sizzle—"

Immediately afterwards, the man's announcer's voice reached the ears of the sixty agents present once again:

"Everyone, if you were writing the script, how would the protagonist break this deadlock?"

In the grand penthouse at Cloud Top One, Shen Feng took a sip of iced cola, watched the barrage of comments flooding the live stream, and chatted amiably into the microphone.

"Zhang Dongsheng is a science student who excels in mathematics and physics. He knows all too well how powerful a dust explosion in a confined space can be. Many netizens think that at this point, the SWAT team should have gone up and seized the lighter? No, that would be incredibly stupid."

"In the most desperate situations, any physical struggle is inferior; only by utilizing the rules can one achieve a devastating victory."

Shen Feng shifted into a more comfortable position in his swivel chair, his tone suddenly becoming extremely confident: "This cold storage design has a fatal flaw."

Outside the East Suburbs Aquatic Products Factory.

Su Qing's pupils suddenly contracted, and she even stopped breathing.

What is he doing? Is he providing live commentary on the special task force's predicament?! No, he's issuing the key to breaking the deadlock to the police!

"Captain Su..." The vice-captain swallowed hard on the comms channel. "Should we...should we listen to this anchor?"

"Shut up! Everyone be silent and listen to him!" Su Qing bit her tongue, forcing herself to remain absolutely calm.

"Although the cold storage is sealed, in order to prevent early Freon leakage, there must be a row of old mechanical ventilation pipes on the top."

In the live stream, Shen Feng drew a red circle on the structural diagram on the screen with his mouse and uttered three words calmly:

"Air pressure difference".

"As long as those sealed exhaust pipes are broken, the stagnant airflow inside the cold storage will instantly find a breakthrough, forming a strong upward suction and backflow."

"Under the massive airflow shear, the dust concentration will be instantly diluted to below the ignition point, and that insignificant lighter flame..." Shen Feng gently blew a breath, "like a candle flickering in the wind, it will dissipate on its own."

The moment the words fell.

Above the abandoned seafood processing plant, Su Qing's hoarse roar echoed: "Assault team, cover! Snipers! Blow up all the exhaust pipes on the roof, leave not a single one standing!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three heavy sniper rifle shots shattered the night sky!

The 12.7mm armor-piercing projectile pierced through the three thick metal ventilation pipes on the top of the cold storage room with overwhelming force.

Li Donghai threw the powder bag into the air, and white dust exploded like an avalanche inside the cold storage.

He laughed wildly and threw the lighter in his hand into the air.

However, a miracle occurred.

The instant the ventilation duct was shattered, a pressure difference of more than ten standard atmospheres between the inside and outside of the cold storage instantly created a terrifying backflow of air.

"Ugh—!"

The howling wind created a miniature cyclone visible to the naked eye, which swept the high concentration of dust in the air directly into the large hole in the roof!

The lighter, which had been tumbling in mid-air, fell into the muddy water with a "thud".

"No...this is impossible! This defies common sense!" Li Donghai stared blankly at the lighter that had fallen into the muddy water, his mental defenses completely collapsing at that moment. "How did he even know the ventilation system of the cold storage? He's a devil! He's been watching me from above all along!"

"superior!"

The assault team leader didn't give Li Donghai a chance to continue his rampage. He pounced on him and dislocated Li Donghai's arm with a standard armbar, pinning him firmly to the muddy ground.

"Suspect Li Donghai is under full control! Hostages safe! Explosion defused!"

When the good news echoed through the communications channel, all the special operations agents lying on guard nearby broke out in a cold sweat.

......

Yunding Yipin.

Shen Feng glanced at the time; it was exactly midnight, not a minute off.

He had no idea that the few words he casually uttered about physics settings had saved countless lives in reality.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Dongsheng's story ends here."

"You see, even if he calculated all the probabilities, even if he pushed the three children to the brink, there is never a perfect crime in this world. Because the law of causality in physics is the bottom line set by the gods."

Thank you all for joining us tonight. The story is over. I hope we can all remember—

Shen Feng leaned slightly closer to the microphone and uttered the closing words that were destined to make him a legend across the entire internet:

Even in the sunniest place, everyone has a secret corner in their heart.

"This is Shen Feng. Goodnight, everyone. See you in the next story."

"Smack."

Shen Feng abruptly cut off the live stream. The screen went black instantly, but the entire chat in the live stream erupted in a frenzy!

[Everyone stand up!!! Respectfully bid farewell to the Ancestral Master!!!]

[My scalp is tingling! That phrase about air pressure difference practically fried my CPU! Is this the reverse problem-solving approach of a master of high-IQ crime?!]

[What the hell is going on in everyone's heart?! Who is the Grandmaster warning us with these words? Is someone actually being caught tonight?!]

The screen was filled with messages like "Eternal Glory to Our Ancestor" and "Super Rocket," which completely crashed Tomato Live's servers, turning them into a PowerPoint presentation.

Outside the abandoned seafood factory, Su Qing, sitting on the hood of an off-road vehicle, slowly took off her headset.

Hearing the last busy tone from her earphones, Su Qing looked up at the dazzling neon lights in downtown Jiangzhou, especially in the direction of Yunding Yipin, her eyes filled with deep helplessness.
