nAlthough the Encyclopedia’s lockpicking skill was brilliant, it still needed time when it came to more difficult locks.

n“Ten minutes.”

nThat was the best that Lin Fan could do. Electronic fingerprint doors were unlike typical locks. Any kind of lock could be unlocked, but this kind of lock was extremely difficult to unlock. Even skillful experts wouldn’t know where to start when it came to this kind of lock.

nTaking ten minutes to unlock this kind of fingerprint door was already considered impossibly fast. Even Master Wang was in disbelief when he heard this.

nHowever, they didn’t have the luxury of ten minutes. By the time ten minutes was up, perhaps the kid who was hanging from the window grill would already have been choked to death.

nThe policeman asked, “What should we do? We definitely won’t make it in time if we need ten minutes.”

nMaster Wang remained silent. Even he was completely helpless.

nThe young mother was crying. She pulled on Lin Fan, “I’m begging you, please save my child!”

nThe surrounding doctors and townsfolk shook their heads and sighed. It looked like there was no hope. A lot could happen in ten minutes. That life which was on the verge between life and death could very likely fall into the deep abyss.

nThe policeman patted Lin Fan’s shoulder, “Just do your best. We’ll understand.”

nThey all understood that this matter couldn’t be blamed on anyone. That youngster was already trying his best. When he opened the first door, everyone had heaved a sigh of relief, but when they saw the second door, they all sunk into despair.

nLooking at how things were, even if they managed to unlock the door, it would probably be too late.

nHe wasn’t some god. He could only do his best with the given situation.

nLin Fan took a few steps back, “Everyone, please take a few steps back.”

nThe policeman and the rest of them didn’t know what this youngster going to do, but all of their hopes were placed on him, so they stepped backward.

nMaster Wang picked up the pile of packages in front of the door.

nThe surrounding doctors and townsfolk were all watching the youngster standing in front of the door, not knowing what he was trying to do.

nSince the lock couldn’t be picked in time, then let’s use force.

nLin Fan stood there and took a deep breath. All the muscles and bones in his body started crackling with thunderous sounds.

nInvigorate my blood circulation. Let my blood boil.

nThe crowd was astonished. That sound seemed to be coming from the youngster’s body, but they had no idea how the sound was made.

nLin Fan planted both feet on the ground, then he raised one foot onto his toes. He put one arm forward and one arm back. With a thunderous roar, he thrust his body forward. At that moment, his strength and speed reached their peaks.

nBang!

nHis two palms hit the copper door. A dull sound rang through the corridor. The door frame shook vigorously. Sediments from the wall came drifting down. The copper door was dented inwards. It had been caved in by the blow.

nEyes widened and mouths gaped.

nAt that moment, everyone froze, it was as if they had just seen a ghost.

nEven the crying, anxious young mother just stared blankly at him.

nLin Fan lowered his hands and took a few steps back. His hands were trembling slightly and his palms were bright red.

nHe wasn’t Superman, nor was he some Kung Fu master with inner power. He was just flesh and bones. The effect of his power went both ways. It hurt his body just as much as the door. And it was not just some wooden door, it was a copper door.

nIf it was a wooden door, he would’ve destroyed it easily with a single blow. It wouldn’t have had to come to this.

n“AH!”

nWith another blow, the copper door started to rock even more. A few cracks appeared on the wall.

nThe policeman watched in astonishment. It was unbelievable. Terrifying. Simply terrifying.

nThe spectating townsfolk had forgotten everything else and just gazed upon the scene before them.

nIt looked surreal to them.

nLin Fan strode forward with his right foot. Veins popped out of his forehead and sweat droplets dripped down from his face. With the ferocity of a tiger leaping towards its prey, his two palms struck the copper door once more.

nCrack!

nThe door frame cracked open and fell apart from the wall. The metal rod embedded into the wall had cracks on it. Of course, no one could see this. However, they felt it.

nSoon…soon…

nBang!

nBang!

nHe continued throwing blows at the door, one after another, each of them had immense power behind them. The crowd felt as if the whole corridor was shaking. That dull, thudding sound rattled their eardrums.

nOn the walkie-talkie.

n“What’s going on at your side? What’s that booming noise?”

nThe policeman at the scene slowly reached for his walkie-talkie and said in shock,

n“Superman is breaking the door…”

nWalkie talkie: “…?”

nBoom!

nThe final blow.

nThe copper door collapsed with a boom.

nLin Fan was panting vigorously. In that short period of time, it was as if he had used up every ounce of energy in his body. His arms were trembling non-stop and they were completely numb. He couldn’t feel his arms at all.

nLin Fan said, “It’s done, what are you all still looking at? Hurry up and go in!”

nThe people suddenly came to their senses and rushed into the house immediately.

n“I’ll carry the kid’s torso, you guys hold onto his legs. Doctor, hurry up and take a look at him!”

n“Make way! Make way for the doctor!”

nBustling noises came from inside the house. The sound of the child’s mother crying and moaning, the sound of the policeman rushing…

nAt that moment, everyone ran into the house.

nLin Fan glanced around the house which had two burglar-proof doors installed. It was magnificently decorated. It was obviously not cheap at all, but was there really a need to install two burglar-proof doors?

nHe took the elevator and left the place. He was no longer required.

nFirst floor!

nThe fighters scurried into the elevator with equipment in their hands.

nLin Fan held tightly onto his own arms and walked away with a calm expression on his face.

nOutside.

nWhen Lin Fan looked at his palms, he had an urge to start crying.

n“They’re swollen!”

n“They’re so swollen that I can’t feel them…”

nThe abilities from the encyclopedia were indeed powerful, but still, they weren’t meant to be used against copper doors. To knock down a copper door, his hands had to be destroyed in the process.

nJudging by the state of his hands, if he didn’t take proper care of them and rest for a few days, his hands might never recover.

nThe owner of the 26th-floor apartment was home.

nWhen he saw the copper door on the ground, he was dumbfounded.

nHe wasn’t sad about the copper door, but when he bought the electronic fingerprint door, the salesman had said that no one could open the door other than himself.

nBut now?

nThe first thing he saw when he reached home was his burglar-proof door lying miserably on the ground.

nThe surrounding residents sighed.

n“Good thing the child’s head was big, otherwise, it would’ve turned out horribly.”

n“Yeah, our estate doesn’t allow for window grills to be installed outside, but this owner still did it. Who would have thought that it would save a child’s life?”

n“This is the 26th floor. Just thinking about it scares me.”

n“Hey, where did that youngster who broke down the door go? Did any of you see him?”

n“No. He was here just a while ago. How did he disappear so quickly?”

n“This is what it means to do good without seeking recognition. He’s a selfless model citizen.”

nAfter the child left with the ambulance, the policeman cleaned up the aftermath. When he told his colleagues below about what had happened, all of them had stunned looks on their faces.

nWas this a joke?

nIf they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, nobody would’ve believed it.

nHowever, at least the people at the scene had taken videos. That scene that shook everyone to their cores had been recorded from start to finish.

n
