In the autumn of 1984, in the residential area of the Lingyun Post Office.
The autumn rain continued, and the cold rain and fog pervaded the land. In a two-story building that was covered by a Chinese parasol tree, a man's angry roar could be heard.
"You bastard! You bastard! "
In the house, an old man with white hair and glasses was yelling at a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man.
The young man had never seen his father so angry before. He was so scared that he curled up into a ball.
"My … My stamps! You … You sold them to me! "The old man was so angry that his eyes were wide open and his whole body was shaking." You … Why didn't you tell me?! "
Bang bang bang … Bang bang bang …
Outside the door, there was the sound of someone banging on the door. The child's mother shouted, "Old man, what are you doing?! Open the door, open the door! "
"Dad … Dad!" The young man explained to his father, trembling, "I didn't touch anything else. I only touched your set of radio gymnastics! I know that set of stamps isn't worth much. The post office still sells them! Dad! Look … "
As he spoke, the young man took out a red and white game console from under the bed. "Look, this is a Nintendo game console. It's expensive! It's new! The person who bought the stamps exchanged it with me! Dad! We didn't lose anything! "
"You bastard!" The old man was furious when he heard this. He shouted, "You … What do you know? That set of radio gymnastics is more than enough to buy a house! I spent a lot of effort to get it. It's the only copy of the wrong version. You bastard, bastard! "
"Ah?!" The young man was shocked. "How … How … I don't know! Dad! "
"Ah!" The old man shouted angrily and grabbed the game console. Then, he raised it above his head and slammed it on the ground!
"No! No! "The young man was at a loss. He cried," Dad! No! Sob sob … "
"You unfilial son! My life's work was ruined by you! I … "Suddenly, the old man was so anxious that he fell to the ground with his hand over his heart. He never woke up again …
…
Back then, the young man's name was Fang Yi.
Because of his inexperience when he was young, he was bewitched by an unscrupulous stamp dealer. He exchanged his father's collection of wrong version radio gymnastics for a Nintendo game console.
In fact, the game console was not broken by his father. However, Fang Yi did not move at all. That game console had become his eternal pain because his father had a heart attack out of anger. In the end, he couldn't be saved and passed away.
In Fang Yi's memory, his father was the kindest father in the world. Ever since he could remember, his father had never beaten or scolded him!
However, such a benevolent and kind father was angered to death by his own greed! It was too late for Fang Yi to regret and regret for the rest of his life.
That year, in front of his father's grave, Fang Yi swore that no matter what it took, he would find that set of radio gymnastics tickets to comfort his father's soul in heaven!
However, it was easier said than done in a sea of people. Over the past few decades, Fang Yi used up his youth and searched bitterly, but to no avail. For the sake of this obsession, he had lost his family, his loved ones, and too much.
Time flew by, and time was merciless.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Yi had reached his father's age and became an old man with white hair. However, he still had not given up hope and was still searching for the set of stamps.
God helps those who work hard! Just a few years ago, he finally found the whereabouts of the radio gymnastics tickets through some channels. He never expected that the stamps would end up in the hands of an underground black-market merchant in Qinshan City.
From that day onwards, Fang Yi's life changed completely.
He started to pay attention to every move of the underground black-market merchant. After a long period of observation, he finally found out that the stamps were hidden in the bank's safe!
Thus, a plan for robbing the bank vault was hatched from then on.
Actually, Fang Yi was a naturally intelligent person, just like Li Dan. If it wasn't for the stamp incident, his life would have been completely different.
However, because of that set of stamps, the course of his life changed completely. For many years, he didn't have a fixed home and had to work all over the place. Finally, he relied on his acting talent to settle down in the Lingyun Drama Troupe and become an actor.
The female conductor at the bus station said that he looked familiar in the makeup. In fact, he had appeared in many stage plays and even TV series with that kind of costume.
Fang Yi knew that he had no money and no power, so it was impossible to get the stamps back through legal means. In desperation, he had to use extreme measures to achieve his goal.
Moreover, he knew that if he wanted to use extreme measures, he couldn't just rely on himself as an old man. He had to find some helpers.
Soon, he set his sights on a group of friends from the Lingyun Drama Troupe. Among them, there was Chen Xing, who was in charge of props, Ding Guoqing, who was in charge of scripting, and two other actors, Cui Guosheng and Zhang Hua.
The four of them were either divorced and looked down upon by their ex-wives, or they had gambling debts and were living in poverty. Hence, when Fang Yi told the four of them about his perfect plan, they all agreed. No one objected, and they all wanted to go all out with Fang Yi!
Hence, the Bank Robbery Gang was officially formed.
From the beginning of the plan to the final execution, everything was within Fang Yi's perfect plan.
This person was too smart! Not only did he get the building plan of the bank, the duty schedule, and other important documents, he even used a charity performance to get the blueprint of the safe. Furthermore, through some interviews, he cleverly learned a lot about how the police handled cases, and understood how the police investigated cases.
When the four of them saw how smart Fang Yi was, they listened to him even more. Whatever Fang Yi said, they would listen. However, what they didn't know was that Fang Yi's original intention of robbing the bank was actually for the stamps!
Fang Yi said that in order to reduce the chances of being arrested by the police, they had to minimize the amount of stolen goods they brought. Hence, they had to pick something light and expensive, like the stamp album!
Fang Yi concluded that if the black-market merchants were robbed, they wouldn't dare to call the police. If they only took the stamps, it would be difficult for the police to find out what was missing. If they didn't know what was missing, it would be difficult for them to conduct an effective investigation, and it would be even more difficult for them to find out that it was them.
Besides, Fang Yi lied, saying that the stamp album was worth tens of millions, and that as long as they could get the stamps, it would be enough to make them rich!
The four of them didn't know anything about stamps, so when they heard Fang Yi's suggestion, they naturally didn't object.
Just like that, the five of them finally made their move. They stole a car in advance and parked it in the alley of the old town near the bank.
Fang Yi had planned ahead and knew that there was no one in one of the bungalows. They climbed over the wall and spent the night in that empty house.
By noon the next day, the five of them had all put on camouflage uniforms that could change their appearance, then put on camouflage uniforms that could change their body shape, and put on human skin masks. Then, they drove to the bank to carry out the robbery!
The robbery went smoothly. According to the original plan, they first took control of the lobby, then broke into the vault and cut off the vault's explosion-proof electric switch. Finally, they successfully pried open the three safes that stored the black-market merchant's belongings!
Everything was going according to Fang Yi's plan. After they got the stamp album, they immediately scattered the black-market merchant's belongings all over the floor, in order to confuse the police.
Besides that, in order to make it more difficult for the police to handle the case, they pried open more safes in order to scatter the items in the safes. That way, it would be even more difficult for the police to determine their intentions!
