The abandoned daughter of a wealthy family turns out to be a lucky charm, changing the fate of her e

The little girl, drawing strength from who-knows-where, broke free from Shen Linchuan's embrace and charged forward with her short legs without hesitation.

The countdown for the explosives has entered its final minute.

The leads are intricate and complex, with red and blue wires intertwined and crisscrossed.

The slightest wrong choice would lead to utter ruin. Shi Jin frowned, his fingertips hovering in mid-air, momentarily lost in hesitation.

In the instant he hesitated, Shen Zhi strode forward, her small finger precisely pointing to one of the black wires, her eyes filled with unwavering certainty:

"Uncle! Cut this one!"

Shi Jin looked up in alarm: "Go back!"

"Uncle, there's no time! Hurry up and cut it!"

The countdown timer flashed red, and the numbers on the screen decreased at an even faster rate than before. In the blink of an eye, only ten seconds remained.

With time running out, Shi Jin cut the black guiding line, stretched out his long arm, and firmly pulled Shen Zhi's petite body into his arms, creating a protective barrier around her with his body.

One second, two seconds... but the loud explosion did not come as expected.

The explosives behind him stopped moving in the last three seconds.

Shi Jin breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

Shen Zhi, however, grinned at Shi Jin as if nothing had happened: "Uncle, we're saved!"

The police behind him quickly stepped forward and took away Lu Zhenhai and the explosives on his body. The cleanup work proceeded in an orderly manner.

Shi Yue stumbled over and hugged Shen Zhi, crying bitterly.

All the words of blame, worry, and relief that I wanted to express turned into that one soft "Zhi Zhi".

The Shen family had always known that Shen Zhi was daring, but they never expected her to be so daring as to go along to defuse explosives.

Just thinking about it sends chills down everyone's spine.

"Zhizhi is alright, the bad guys have all been caught!"

The little girl smiled brightly and even had the mood to comfort the adults who were older than her.

This composure made Shi Jin look at his little niece with new respect.

"Team Leader Shi, we'll handle the cleanup here."

The police officer beside him looked up at the helicopter parked not far away, his eyes fixed on the fuselage, filled with envy.

"Captain Shi, when can I experience piloting a helicopter for rescue? That would be so cool!"

Many people were just as shocked as the police officers.

This helicopter is the latest top-of-the-line model in the world, with top-notch performance and a high cost. Ordinary local police stations simply do not have the authority to deploy it.

I didn't expect the higher-ups to attach so much importance to this operation, and to specially arrange such top-level support.

Upon hearing this, Shi Jin's brows furrowed abruptly.

Turning to look at his younger sister and brother-in-law in the crowd, his tone was somewhat helpless:

"I know you're in a hurry, but this is too much. Hurry up and drive back; helicopters aren't allowed to park on the highway."

Shi Yue and the rest of the Shen family: ? ? ?

Everyone was completely baffled. Drive back? Them? When did the Shen family get a helicopter?

Seeing the astonished expressions on his sister's and her group's faces, and recalling the long-range sniper who had appeared at the critical moment, Shi Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized that something was wrong.

The next second, the two groups spoke in unison:

"Wasn't this helicopter arranged by your Shen family?"

"This helicopter wasn't arranged by your police?"

It belongs neither to the police station nor to the Shen family.

However, they were able to accurately identify the blocked sections of the road and promptly restrain Lu Zhenhai.

The fact that they can mobilize top-of-the-line armed helicopters... think about it!

Shen Linchuan tightened his arms around Shen Zhi, his eyes glued to the people getting off the helicopter.

He had a premonition that the person in front of him was after Zhizhi!

Shi Jin's expression turned stern. His hand swiftly reached for his waist, deftly drawing his sidearm and pointing the muzzle directly at the oncoming man in black. His sense of danger was instantly heightened.

But the instant he drew his gun, countless red dots aimed at him instantly covered his entire body, shoulders, and chest.

The three black-clad bodyguards opposite were well-trained and raised their specially made guns in unison.

The cold, hard muzzles of the guns locked onto Shi Jin, their imposing aura chilling to the bone.

The officers remaining at the scene changed drastically upon seeing this, immediately gathering around and drawing their weapons to protect the area, shouting sternly to stop them:

"Unidentified personnel ahead! Drop your weapons immediately! Halt!"

Tensions were high, and a conflict could erupt at any moment.

At this moment of extreme tension, the elderly man at the head slowly raised his hand, gripping his eagle-head carved cane. With unhurried movements, he calmly gestured to the bodyguards behind him to put away their guns.

The well-trained Li family guards instantly stopped their attacks without hesitation.

It was clear that the old man's command was an absolute command.

Li Xiong slowly removed his sunglasses, revealing a pair of amber-green eyes that were exactly like Shen Zhi's.

The only difference was that the little girl's eyes were clean and pure, while his eyes held the weight of decades of trials and tribulations, deep and majestic.

It exudes an aura of superiority that looks down upon all living beings, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"I am Li Xiong from the Li family of S country."

For ordinary people, even if he introduces himself, they still feel that Li Xiong is not as famous as Da Xiong.

However, for the Shen and Shi families who were in business, the name Li Xiong was like a thunderclap, shaking them to their core.

The Li family has never been an ordinary wealthy family.

It is a business legend written into the textbooks of top business schools, a top giant that spans the globe and monopolizes energy, military industry, aerospace, and high-end manufacturing.

In its early years, when the Li family was deeply rooted in China, most of the well-known benchmark brands in all walks of life, from clothing and food to housing and transportation, belonged to the Li family's territory, truly achieving wealth comparable to a country and power over a region.

Even the core components of the national aerospace project, such as precision rocket instruments, are mostly produced by Lijia Heavy Industry.

The Li family's presence is indispensable in cross-border cooperation and top-level resource competition both at home and abroad.

Many years ago, Li Xiong suddenly retired and moved his family overseas, gradually fading from the public eye in China.

Despite seemingly disappearing without a trace, its foundation, built over a century, is deeply entrenched and its influence extends both domestically and internationally. Its profound and unfathomable nature means that it can easily disrupt the landscape with a mere flick of its finger.

Even today, collaborations involving the Li family are still thriving.

Why would the head of such a reclusive top-tier wealthy family, wielding immense power and wealth, suddenly appear in Beijing and intervene in the feud between the Shen and Lu families?

Li Xiong wore a well-tailored, old-money style three-piece suit, exuding a calm and reserved demeanor and an air of nobility.

Throughout the entire ordeal, he paid no attention to the armed police officers around him or the Shen family members. His gaze swept across the crowd and remained fixed on Shen Zhi's small figure.

His eyes held a deep longing and tenderness that he had suppressed for many years.

"I am Shen Zhi's maternal grandfather."

"I've come today to pick up my granddaughter and take her back to the Li family."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear the wind rustling the leaves.
