Liu Yuling was chatting and laughing with Section Chief Xu on the rostrum, and the atmosphere was extremely lively. At this time, Master Ding came in from the side door holding a toolbox.

Section Chief Xu turned his gaze to Master Ding and asked, "Master Ding, has the light bulb in the toilet over there been fixed?"

Master Ding nodded slightly and replied, "Chief Xu, it has been repaired. Do you think there is anything else you need me to do now?"

Section Chief Xu looked around and responded, "Master Ding, go check if there is a problem with the wiring of that speaker. After that, you can also check the other wiring yourself. If everything is fine, then you can leave at any time."

After listening to Chief Xu's instructions, Master Ding walked aside and started working.

At this moment, Lucy Liu made an unreasonable request to Section Chief Xu with a slightly apologetic tone.

"Uncle Xu, my brother is the protagonist of the commendation meeting today. Can I watch the commendation meeting quietly in the corner beside you?" There was a hint of expectation and earnestness in her tone.

Hearing this, Section Chief Xu looked at Liu Yuling's hopeful eyes, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, but you can only watch from the side door of the auditorium."

After hearing what Section Chief Xu said, Liu Yuling couldn't help but show her joy and clapped her hands happily.

At this moment, Director Sun slowly walked in from the door of the auditorium. His eyes were instantly attracted by the little girl in strange clothes on the podium.

Director Sun walked straight to Chief Xu, pointed at Liu Yuling, and asked curiously, "Chief Xu, which relative's child is this lovely little girl? Why did you bring her here?"

Section Chief Xu quickly explained, "Director Sun, you misunderstood. She is not my niece. In fact, she is Zhang Jianguo's adopted sister. She came here to visit our auditorium. It happened that a commendation meeting was to be held today, so I arranged for her to watch her adopted brother being commended at the side door."

Director Sun nodded, then raised his hand, took a close look at the watch on his wrist, and said:

"Well... there should be about 20 minutes left before the commendation meeting. Chief Xu, you are in charge of setting up the venue. Have you finished it? I guess everyone will arrive one after another in a while."

Hearing Director Sun's question, Section Chief Xu smiled and answered confidently, "Haha, Director Sun, don't worry! You are still worried about my work! Now, everything has been arranged properly, and we are just waiting for the participants to arrive!"

After listening to Chief Xu's words, Director Sun looked at his confident look and nodded with satisfaction to show his approval.

While Director Sun and Section Chief Xu were talking, Liu Yuling accidentally saw Master Ding, who was checking the lines, taking out a rag doll from the tool box.

It was a small and exquisite rag doll, only about one foot tall. Its body was made of slightly rough cloth, and the color had faded a little. Its hair was made of thin wool, hanging sparsely, and it was wearing a patched small flowered skirt. Although the skirt was small, it also had the unique charm of this era.

However, this doll is very strange. That's because its head is unusually large, just like the big-headed son in "Big Head Son and Small Head Father". The huge head seems to carry too many secrets. In contrast, its body looks particularly thin, as if it can't support the heavy head.

Huh? Why does Master Ding have such a rag doll in his toolbox?

At this moment, Lucy Liu couldn't help but feel deeply confused, so she unconsciously paid more attention to Master Ding's actions.

She watched intently as Master Ding took out a glass bottle filled with a transparent liquid from the toolbox. Then, he skillfully opened the stopper of the glass bottle, poured out half of the liquid, and slowly sprinkled it on the doll.

Seeing this, Lucy Liu's doubts became stronger.

What on earth was Master Ding doing? A rag doll appeared inexplicably in the toolbox. Was he trying to take it home and give it to his own child? But why did he pour water on the rag doll? This series of actions was really confusing!

Just as Liu Yuling was full of doubts and puzzled, Master Ding reached out again and tightly grasped the part of the doll that was not stained by liquid, then picked it up and carefully placed it in an extremely hidden place behind the speaker that was not easily noticed. Finally, he picked up the glass bottle again and poured all the remaining water on the doll's body.

After doing all this, a sinister smile appeared on the old fox's face. That smile was so weird that it made people's hair stand on end. However, when he finished packing up the toolbox and turned around to look at Section Chief Xu, the smile instantly turned into a harmless smile:

"Chief Xu, I'm done with my work here. Can I leave now?"

"Master Ding, thank you for your hard work. By the way, please give my regards to Section Chief Wang from the Electricity Bureau."

Master Ding nodded to Chief Xu, then took the toolbox and slowly walked towards the door of the auditorium.

At this time, Lucy Liu kept looking at Master Ding with a puzzled look. She noticed Master Ding's strange behavior just now - he deliberately placed a rag doll behind the speaker. This detail made Lucy Liu suspicious, and she couldn't help but start thinking about the reason why Master Ding did this.

Combining her experience of watching TV dramas and reading novels, plus the nightmare that had left her terrified in the past two days, an ominous premonition surged into her heart like a tide.

"Could it be such a coincidence that there is a time bomb in that rag doll?"

Liu Yuling was shocked by her sudden idea, but soon thought that she might have watched too many TV dramas and novels and had an overly rich imagination. However, just in case, she decided to check the doll first.

However, when Liu Yuling was staring at Master Ding, he also noticed Liu Yuling's burning gaze. That gaze was like a sharp sword piercing straight at him, making him feel a little guilty.

When Master Ding reached the center of the auditorium, he stopped, squatted down, and placed the toolbox on the ground near the stool. He seemed to be tying his shoelaces naturally, but he turned his head slightly and glanced at Lucy Liu from the corner of his eye. He happened to see Lucy Liu turn around and walk towards the place where the speakers were placed.

At this moment, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and a sense of panic spread in his heart.

"Did she find out something? That's impossible. I did it so secretly." He thought to himself, but tried to keep calm on his face.

He told himself not to panic and not to reveal any flaws at this critical moment.

"Hmph, even if this little girl finds out, so what? It's too late now." He thought viciously in his heart, with a sneer flashing across his face.

At this moment, he carefully took out an item wrapped tightly in cloth from the toolbox and threw it carefully into an inconspicuous corner under the benches in the auditorium.

Then he reached into the toolbox again and pulled out a mysterious device. There was a button on it, and he pressed it without hesitation, thinking to himself:

"Originally, the countdown for the time bomb was still more than 20 minutes, but this little girl seems to have noticed the existence of the time bomb, so let it explode early! I really want to witness the spectacular sight of the billowing smoke rising into the sky when the bomb explodes. It will definitely be a magnificent scene!"

Thinking of this, Master Ding couldn't help but let a strange and twisted smile appear on his face, but it quickly disappeared.

At the same time, he put the device in his pocket, quickly gathered his emotions, stood up as if nothing had happened, and then calmly continued to move forward. However, under his seemingly calm appearance, he had already begun to think about how to deal with it once the matter was exposed.

At this moment, Lucy Liu walked to the speaker and carefully looked at the rag doll hidden in the corner, trying to find any suspicious clues. But the rag doll did not look abnormal, it was just an ordinary toy.

However, Liu Yuling's intuition told her that things might not be that simple. When she bent down and held the body of the doll with one hand, trying to pick it up, she found that the doll seemed to be stuck to the ground by an invisible force and did not move at all.

Liu Yuling's eyes first flashed with surprise, and then were filled with stubbornness. She pulled hard, but the doll still stubbornly stuck to the floor, as if mocking her powerlessness.

Oh my god, doll, doll, do you want to fall in love with the floor and don’t want to be separated from it?

Liu Yuling gave up helplessly. But something incredible happened again. Her hands were also stuck to the doll and she couldn't get them off.

Damn, what's going on? Why do things always stick to my hands? Last time it was Fu Tingchen's weird stone, this time it was a shabby rag doll.

At this time, Lucy Liu tried to pull her hand away, but her delicate skin was stuck to the doll's body as if it had taken root in the ground.

She bit her lower lip with her teeth, her expression became more and more anxious, and beads of sweat gradually seeped out of her forehead. She increased her strength, but a sharp pain came from her hand, as if it was about to tear the skin and flesh from her hand.

Liu Yuling took a breath of cold air and stopped moving with lingering fear. She knew that if she continued to pull it forcefully, the skin on her hand would be ruthlessly torn apart, and she couldn't even imagine the pain.

At this time, Lucy Liu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. At the same time, she suddenly heard a faint "tick-tick" sound coming from the big head of the doll.
