“Deposit money.”
Ye Tian opened his black backpack and took out 300,000 in cash, handing it all over to Chu Yifei through the window.
Chu Yifei looked at Ye Tian with some surprise.
Although she had been interning for only a week, she had seen various wealthy customers, but it was rare for someone as young as Ye Tian to deposit so much money at once.
Ye Tian’s attire and demeanor didn’t seem to be that of a second-generation rich kid!
Could it be the company’s funds?
Chu Yifei skillfully opened Ye Tian’s bank card, clearly seeing that it was a personal card, even more surprised, she couldn’t help but take a couple more looks at Ye Tian.
The procedure was simple, and it was quickly completed.
“Sir, please take your card!”
Chu Yifei handed Ye Tian’s bank card to him, but before Ye Tian could take it, a flustered, portly middle-aged man ran over, greeting Chu Yifei behind the window.
“Hi, beauty, I’m the general manager of Hua’s Food, and I want to make friends with a beauty like you.
Let’s have dinner together after work, there’s a new place that just opened…”
The middle-aged man was very eager to introduce himself, but his gaze stayed fixed on Chu Yifei’s chest, almost drooling.
Chu Yifei slightly frowned, but quickly regained her composure; she had grown accustomed to such scenes over time, and security quickly came over to push the middle-aged man back.
“Beauty, your charm is truly astounding.”
Ye Tian took his bank card, then gave Chu Yifei a clean, comforting smile.
However, Chu Yifei didn’t engage with Ye Tian.
She professionally said thank you and then called the next number.
Ye Tian was about to leave when suddenly, a group of robbers wearing black stockings over their heads and wielding machetes stormed in, immediately locking the main door and pointing their knives at the people inside.
“Everyone, get down on your knees with hands on your head!”
Panic immediately broke out in the room.
“Robbers!”
After all, they were ordinary people, and were afraid and terrified in the face of fierce robbers.
The robbers were very professional and quickly controlled the situation.
Even the bank staff inside the glass windows were threatened by smoke grenades, forced to come out.
The bank’s glass windows were bulletproof; a knife wouldn’t really threaten the people inside, but smoke grenades were different.
Smoke grenades could be thrown in through the windows, and soon the people inside would be forced out by the thick smoke.
So, seeing the smoke grenades in the robbers’ hands, they obediently came out.
In the entire lobby, staff and customers combined, there were about fifty people—most squatting in the middle of the hall, with three others helping the robbers to open the vault.
Ye Tian observed that there were a total of nine robbers, well-equipped: three went to the vault, one guarded the door, two were by the windows, and the remaining three kept an eye on the people in the hall.
Since entering the bank, he had been giving orders, clearly the leader.
His cold eyes swept over all the hostages in the hall.
“My brothers are only here for the cash.
If you all cooperate nicely, naturally nothing will happen to you.
But if anyone tries to be clever and prevents our safe departure, I can’t guarantee your lives.”
“Now, put all your communicative devices in this basket here, one by one.
Remember, don’t hide anything, or the consequences could be very serious.”
The leader instructed a nearby robber, who, holding an empty basket, slowly walked past the hostages.
The hostages, one by one, threw their mobile phones into the basket the robber was holding and then squatted down obediently.
Before long, the two robbers escorted three bank employees out of the vault, each carrying a backpack full of cash.
These three were the bank manager, the vault manager, and Chu Yifei, who had been forced by the robbers to open the vault.
“Leave the backpacks behind, then slowly walk over and squat down obediently!”
Faced with the armed robbers, the three chose to comply obediently, heading towards the hostages area in the center of the lobby, while the robbers continued into the vault to take more cash.
As it happened, Chu Yifei squatted down right to the left of Ye Tian, and Ye Tian noticed that Chu Yifei’s watch was also an Apple one, capable of making calls.
She was discreetly making a call, presumably to alert the police.
How foolish of her!
Alerting the police now is like delivering herself into the Grim Reaper’s hands, isn’t it?
If the police arrive and the robbers can’t leave, they will surely harm the hostages.
She isn’t saving anyone; she is putting them in danger.
The watch was small and went unnoticed by the robbers; however, it caught the eye of the middle-aged man who had previously asked Chu Yifei out.
He was squatting behind her and saw everything.
“Beauty, I saw what you did.
Either be my girlfriend or I’ll tell these robbers right now.”
His eyes, small and beady, gleamed with greedy lust as he ogled Chu Yifei’s prominent chest.
In such a situation, for this man to behave so shamelessly was utterly despicable.
Chu Yifei was so angry that her pretty face turned pale.
She slightly turned her face towards the lecherous middle-aged man, her expression pitiable, hoping he would spare her.
But the more she did so, the more delighted he became, showing no intention of giving up such a golden opportunity.
“Think it over, beauty.
What would happen to you in the hands of these robbers?
Violated, then killed?
What would become of your poor parents?
If you’re with me, I’ll make sure your family is well taken care of.
Plus, you won’t have to work at the bank, no need for such hard labor.
Just think about it.”
Chu Yifei was trembling with rage, feeling helpless when Ye Tian’s voice reached her from beside.
“What a scumbag.”
Chu Yifei looked towards Ye Tian.
She certainly recognized Ye Tian and even had a good impression of him.
Now that Ye Tian was willing to speak up for her, she immediately showed a hopeful expression.
However, what Ye Tian said next made her nearly explode with anger.
“Hey, old man.
I’ve seen it too, and even if you don’t tell the robbers, I could.
Why should this beauty be with you?
If she has to choose, of course, she’ll pick a young guy like me!”
Ye Tian glared at the lecherous middle-aged man behind him, infuriating him to the point of turning livid.
“Kid, you dare to screw up my plan?
I won’t let you off once I get out!”
The middle-aged man accidentally spoke out loud, startling the robbers.
“Hey, you, the fat one, who gave you permission to talk?
You asking for death?!”
The gleaming blade was suddenly pointed at the plump middle-aged man.
Scared white-faced, the middle-aged man was terrified that the robbers would kill him because of this, so he immediately reported Chu Yifei.
“Big brother, this woman was attempting to call the police!”
