The Bank Robbery
Lin Yi wasn't the heroic type, quite the opposite. He'd always kept a low profile, knowing what he should do and what he shouldn't do. Just like in North Africa, Lin Yi had always remembered that his job was to protect the visiting delegation, not to act like a hero in a war-torn place.
As a result, Lin Yi's priority was to protect Mengyao and Yushu, not to capture the robbers. The police would take care of things like this, and Lin Yi didn't want to get involved.
Mengyao and Yushu, evidently, had never been in a situation like this before. They were a little stunned, not knowing what to do.
"Everyone, listen up. Put your hands on your head and squat down. I promise I won't hurt you. However, if anyone dares to move, don't blame me for being rude!" Baldy fired another shot into the sky. The originally noisy bank instantly quietened down.
The children forgot to cry, and the adults forgot to shout. Everyone was obedient, hugging their heads and squatting on the ground. They didn't have much of a choice against the gun-wielding robbers. They had to obey if they wanted to live.
It wasn't that these people didn't have a sense of justice, but that whoever stepped up would pay with their lives.
While Baldy was lecturing them with his gun, Baldy's accomplices had already rushed to the front of the bank's counter. After smashing the bank's window with a hammer, they used their guns to force the bank's staff to put the money into the designated bag.
"Hurry up! What the fuck are you waiting for?!" One of the robbers barked impatiently at a middle-aged bank employee. "I'll shoot you if you keep this up!"
"Yes … Yes …" The man was timid. He was scared by the robber, and his hands trembled. "Pa", a stack of banknotes fell to the ground and scattered.
"Motherf * cker! Are you trying to stall for time?! " The robber glared and fired a shot, hitting the man's arm. The man cried out in pain as he clutched at his arm.
The robbers' previous shots were all empty. Although they had a certain deterrent effect, it was not as strong as this shot! This shot was really aimed at people, so in the bank, whether it was the staff or the customers, they were so shocked that they covered their mouths. They were even more afraid of these criminals and did not dare to move.
Baldy was very satisfied with his subordinate's decision to kill one to warn the others, and he swept his gaze across the entire bank.
"Yao Yao, I'm scared … …" Yushu was usually a brash girl, but she gripped Mengyao's arm tightly at this critical moment. Her face was pale as a sheet.
"It's okay, it's okay. Shu, I'll protect you." Mengyao was scared herself, but Yushu was a year younger than her. She had to act like a big sister and comfort her.
"You two don't have to comfort each other. I will protect your safety." Lin Yi said calmly.
Although Lin Yi wasn't sure that he could capture all the robbers alive, he could still protect Mengyao and Yushu from harm.
Mengyao moved her lips, wanting to say something sarcastic to Lin Yi out of habit, but she didn't say anything when she saw his determined gaze.
Seeing that the robbers were about to leave the bank, police sirens came from outside the bank.
The customers in the bank frowned when they heard the sirens. After all, sometimes it was a good thing that the police came, but in this situation, the robbers couldn't run away. It was inevitable that they would do something extreme.
If they took a few more hostages, it would be even worse. So most of the people felt gloomy at this moment. To them, it didn't matter how much money was lost in the bank. Being able to walk out of here safely was the most important thing.
"The robbers in the bank, listen to me. You are now surrounded. Please put down your weapons immediately. Surrender and fight for leniency is your only way out. Otherwise, only death awaits you!" Outside the bank, there was a voice shouting into the microphone.
"Hmph!" Baldy heard the voice and hmphed coldly. He turned to one of his men. "Tell the people outside that I'll kill them if they do anything!"
The man understood immediately and came to the bank's door. "What the hell are you yelling for? Yell again and our boss will kill them! "
The police at the door went silent. They had to save the bank, but they also had to protect the people inside. It was a tough job. After receiving the call, the vice captain of the criminal police team, Lingshan, rushed to the bank with a large group of people.
The captain of the criminal police team, Yang Huaijun, had gone to another city for a meeting, and Lingshan was left in charge of the team. To be honest, Lingshan was under a lot of pressure, especially after the call from the director. He told her to lead a team to deal with the bank robbery, hinting to her that Pengzhan's daughter and Elder Chen's granddaughter were in the bank as well.
If something were to happen to Yushu, it wouldn't just be him, the director, but even the officials above him would be shaken.
So, after the robber's threatening words, Lingshan decisively ordered her men to stop yelling and not do anything to provoke the robber.
Baldy was very satisfied with the policemen's silence. He carried his gun and scanned the group of customers who were squatting on the ground. Many customers also understood that the criminals wanted to find a hostage as a bargaining chip with the police!
So thinking of this, many people quickly lowered their heads and didn't dare to raise their heads. They were afraid that they would be the ones chosen. After all, once they became the robber's hostage, their lives would be in danger. They didn't have the courage to face these cruel robbers.
Baldy smiled coldly as he walked towards the crowd. His eyes finally landed on Mengyao, who was standing beside Lin Yi.
"You! Stand up! "Baldy pointed his gun at Mengyao.
Mengyao was shocked. She subconsciously tightened her grip on Yushu's hand and looked up at Baldy.
"Huh? You're quite pretty, girl! "Baldy laughed lewdly and pointed his gun at Mengyao again." I'm talking to you. Stand up! "
"I … …" Mengyao had never been in a situation like this. Her heart was beating very fast. She didn't know what to do, but she forced herself to stay strong. She told herself that she couldn't cry at a time like this. She had to be strong!
