Raegan tried several times to reconnect with the command center, but her calls continually failed. She finally caught a stable signal near a window.

Just then, Matteo's call came through. His voice carried a palpable anxiety. "Miss Foster, don't panic. We are still looking for another exit."

Matteo had been stationed in the special forces command center, believing Raegan had escaped, not expecting that Lorenzo's men had destroyed the only exit.

At this moment, Matteo was deeply concerned about both Raegan's safety and Mitchel's fate.

Despite her dangerous surroundings, Raegan remained calmer than Matteo. She said, “Could you please pass the phone to the commander? I need to ask him something."

“Miss, what is it?"

Raegan asked, "This homemade remote-controlled explosive, I remember reading that cutting the wire responsible for the remote control prevents it from detonating, is that correct?"

Raegan hadn't known this originally. She had seen it once in a book in her father's study.

Her father, a military enthusiast, liked reading such books and often discussed these topics with Raegan. So, although she had never seen real explosives, she understood them better than most due to her readings.

Cary answered, "In theory, yes. Remote-controlled explosives are designed with a special wire for remote activation. If it's severed, they can no longer be detonated remotely."

"If that's the case, the experts should be able to determine which wire is the remote-control wire from the video I just sent you,"

Raegan suggested.

Cary understood her intent and paused, momentarily speechless.

Raegan continued, "Cary, I'll go cut all the wires. Then you can send your men through the window. There are only three hostages in the building, including myself. Even if discovered, they only have control over two hostages, so they probably wouldn't dare to harm them."

After all, hostages were typically used for negotiation.

Lorenzo believed he had control over the International Banquet Center, expecting thousands of hostages, but Mitchel had foreseen his plan and evacuated the venue early.

If Lorenzo risked harming the very last two hostages, the special forces would storm in without hesitation, leaving no escape for the culprits.

Raegan shared her analysis with Cary, and Cary found her plan nice.

However, Cary couldn't let a girl without practical experience take such a significant risk.

Raegan pressed, “Time is pressing. Cary, I know you understand this is the best method, and I'm capable of completing the task."
