Upon hearing Captain Zhao's words, everyone present nodded slightly.

Xia Zixin took her games seriously. She had gone to the extent of bringing Captain Zhao and others back to play with them.

Since thieves could have guns as well, it only made sense for her to accede to his requests.

However, Xia Zixin's face that was originally beaming with happiness contorted with a slight frown. She appeared quite displeased.

Captain Zhao widened his eyes. This was not good!

When he first started working had had encountered many criminals had guns.

His mentor and seniors all took bullets in the line of duty and were forced to retire.

Did kids nowadays only believe bad guys were unarmed?!

Captain Zhao found himself at a loss for explanation.

He had no choice but to agree with her.

He could not afford to get on her bad side.

Captain Zhao sighed. "All right...

"Xia Zixin, if you think that bad guys can't possess guns, then I'll wait for you here.

"How about that?"

Xia Zixin continued to pout.

She even seemed to be on the verge of tears!

Captain Zhao was taken aback and promptly asked her, "What's wrong?"

Saa also crouched in front of Xia Zixin. "What happened, Xia Zixin?"

"Was it because Mr. Zhao was too harsh earlier?

"Being a policeman is tough work. He may look scary, but you mustn't let him frighten you to tears!"

Captain Zhao was rendered speechless.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zixin burst into laughter.

"No, Mr. Saa, I was just thinking about what Mr. Zhao. If thieves could steal guns and I brought a pistol and grenade to school, wouldn't that make me a thief?

"Would I get arrested?

"Would that mean I can't become a police officer?"

It turned out that she feared being labeled a thief.

Captain Zhao let out a sigh of relief.

He reassured her with a smile, "Of course not!"

"A thief takes something from others, but you're retrieving things from your own home. How could that be considered thievery?

"Moreover, Xia Zixin, you haven't done anything wrong.

"The police only apprehend wrongdoers!"

Xia Zixin's eyes immediately lit up.

She nodded with determination. "I never do bad things!

"In that case, Mr. Zhao, can I still become a police officer?"

Captain Zhao squatted down and smiled.

"Didn't I tell you before? When you grow up, you can come find me anytime.

"I'll first teach you how to be a good person, and then you can be a police officer. How does that sound?"

Captain Zhao couldn't bring himself to deceive Xia Zixin.

Hence, he focused on teaching her to be a good person.

Xia Zixin beamed, "Great!

"Mr. Zhao, let's go get the guns together!

"Just a moment! Soon, I get to pretend to be a police officer and catch the bad guys!"

Captain Zhao chuckled.

"Sure, let's go!"

The viewers couldn't help but sigh.

"If only Xia Zixin's dad weren't involved with firearms!"

"I've never seen a child so eager to be a police officer. Such a shame!"

"Captain Zhao said he wanted to teach her to be good, but he couldn't bring himself to lie..."

"No, guys, haven't you noticed? Xia Zixin has figured out Captain Zhao's plan. Her goal is to lure Captain Zhao into the inner room and secretly kill him!"

"Hey, isn't that too dark of a psychological interpretation?!"

"She's just a kid. Get it straight! Not everything has to be so messed up!"

"How harsh! Why would Xia Zixin do that?!"

As Captain Zhao followed Xia Zixin into the house, he received a message.

[Phone tracking failed.]

Though Captain Zhao had expected it, he was still disappointed.

How could someone capable of building a bunker not have additional safeguards?

Xia Qi was so enigmatic!

Captain Zhao followed Xia Zixin and assumed firearms would be stored in a room.

Yet, he was taken aback.

Xia Zixin led them to some stairs.

Captain Zhao squinted.

They were about to go upstairs!

But as he prepared to ascend the stairs, he noticed Xia Zixin standing beside the stairwell wall.

She reached out and pressed it.

In the next moment, the wall abruptly slid open. It was accompanied by an electronic voice.

"The elevator is ready. Please proceed!"

Everyone present stood dumbfounded.

Wasn't this a wall?!

Where did the elevator come from?

Xia Zixin did not seem to notice anything amiss. She stood in the elevator and waved at them.

"Come in quickly!

"This elevator is perfectly safe. Don't worry!"

She assumed Captain Zhao and the others were apprehensive about its safety.

In reality, they were simply amazed.

The viewers were equally astounded.

"Wow!"

"This house is unbelievably cool!"

"This is like a magic show. Awesome!"

"I'm crying with envy. This is the future life I've envisioned!"

"Could Xia Zixin's dad be an alien? Is this technology really within human capabilities?!"

"It was a wall just a moment ago, incredible!"

After being dazed for a while, Captain Zhao and the others regained their senses.

Saa recalled the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."

They were a seemingly ordinary couple but were actually assassins living double lives.

Their house had undergone a series of renovations as well.

Saa had thought it to be Hollywood hocus-pocus.

Today, however, he realized it was all true.

There could even be a switch somewhere on a bookshelf that led to another secret chamber!

At that moment, Xia Zixin urged them once more.

"Please come in! If we want more weapons, we can only get them through the elevator. There's no other way.

"Don't worry, my dad said this elevator is extremely safe!

"In just a moment, we'll reach the ninth floor!

"Don't be scared. I'm not!"

Everyone begrudgingly stepped into the elevator.

But then, Saa suddenly realized something wrong in her words.

"Xia Zixin did you just say that we are going to the ninth floor?

"Does that include the basement?"

Xia Zixin smiled and shook her head.

"No "Mr. Saa, Daddy doesn't let me into the basement. We're really going to the ninth floor!"
