It was no wonder Gao Yang hesitated, anyone in that situation would hesitate.
Bomb defusal was not a job for just anyone, and the construction of bombs varied widely. If it was a bomb made using a standard method, experienced bomb disposal officers could easily identify how it was constructed and dismantle it successfully with a bit of experience or a simulated experiment.
But if it was an irregular bomb, constructed unpredictably, then the defusal team must simulate the defusal process first; otherwise, it was a matter of luck and nerve!
No matter what, defusing a bomb was never a simple task.
Deciding which wire to cut was not an easy decision, especially for this bomb. It was placed right next to a natural gas pipeline, which, if exploded, would ignite the gas and cause a tremendous fire and shockwave, potentially destroying the entire building's foundation!
Therefore, Gu Yi'an's casual suggestion to cut all the wires was extremely irresponsible.
