Chapter 85

With a crazed look on his face, Zhang Chi frantically packed the golden bars into a bag, his excitement growing, and his adrenaline surging.

Today, he had already worked through three sessions, which was more than he usually did in several days!

Zhang Chi licked his dry lips, and seeing Lin Yifan open another box of private treasures, he couldn't help but get extremely excited.

This was real gold and silver, not just data, and such reward tasks felt more like getting something for nothing.

He picked up the drill and continued drilling, hurriedly pouring the gems from the box into the bag and casually tossing a pile of American waste paper behind him.

Swallowing hard, Zhang Chi said, "Newcomer, we should probably leave now."

At this moment, Lin Yifan had just drilled open a large box of gold bars and waved his hands, "Wait, let me finish this. Don't waste time, open more boxes."

"Alright!"

Zhang Chi put down the bag, his breathing becoming rapid, his face flushed and ears red from the huge rewards.

As Zhang Chi focused on drilling the box, a golden light flashed behind his head.

"Huh?!"

Before Zhang Chi could turn around, a gold bar was smashed into his head.

Still holding the drill, Zhang Chi let out a muffled groan and slowly fell to the ground, leaning against the safe.

Lin Yifan casually stuffed the bloodied gold bar into his bag, then without a word, he walked through the second door that had been blown open, closed the first door, and locked it from the inside.

Yin Hu, who was controlling the bank with a small katana, was taken aback. She looked at the tightly closed first vault door, not reacting for a moment.

She wouldn't suspect that the people inside were planning to run off with the money, as there was no other way out of the vault besides that one exit.

If they were planning to run off with the money, they wouldn't lock the door and hide inside to wait for death.

Lin Yifan, having closed the door, didn't care about the others. He picked up the drill and continued drilling, eager to open all the boxes.

By this time, it had been five minutes since they entered the bank, and it was time to retreat.

"Strange, what's the newcomer doing?"

Yin Hu glanced at her smartwatch; it was already the scheduled time. Even if Lin Yifan was in a frenzy, Zhang Chi, an experienced hand, shouldn't still be inside.

On a nearby road, the plumber, looking at his watch, broke out in a cold sweat. A few hundred meters to the right, several police cars had already received the alarm and were rushing over.

The plumber, seeing no movement at the bank entrance, didn't dare to drive up to intercept.

Sweat beading on his forehead, the plumber muttered, "What's going on? Weren't we supposed to leave after five minutes?"

On the other side, Xu Bin, who was supposed to provide cover, tightly gripped the steering wheel. No one was in sight at the entrance, and police cars were already in front of them.

Feeling uneasy, Xu Bin picked up the walkie-talkie, "Zhang Chi, it's time. Respond if you can hear me."

Putting down the walkie-talkie, Xu Bin's fingers nervously tapped the steering wheel.

After a few seconds with no response, Xu Bin, drenched in sweat, picked up the walkie-talkie again and shouted, "Damn it, this is a reward task! We didn't bring much heavy weaponry, don't attract the National Guard, hurry up and leave!"

Inside the bank, Lin Yifan had already drilled open half a wall of boxes, with many more still unopened.

Stopping the drill, Lin Yifan heard Xu Bin's voice repeatedly coming from Zhang Chi's body.

At this moment, Lin Yifan picked up the walkie-talkie and said calmly, "If you want to make a big profit, listen to me and stay put."

"What? Newcomer, don't be reckless!" Xu Bin jumped up, agitated. How could Lin Yifan, who had been cooperative before, suddenly go crazy?

Yin Hu, frowning inside the bank, could clearly hear the conversation through her earpiece.

Pressing her ear, Yin Hu said impatiently, "What's going on? I didn't come here to play games with a newcomer. When the armored vehicles arrive, don't expect me to fight with a knife."

"I just want to say that you can stay put. If you listen to me, I guarantee you'll make a huge profit." Lin Yifan continued drilling the safe, grabbing large amounts of jewelry and throwing them into his backpack.

The others definitely couldn't believe Lin Yifan's words. As a newcomer, saying such things was simply delusional. Why should they believe him?

Of course, Lin Yifan didn't expect the others to believe him. It didn't matter if Yin Hu and the plumber left, but Xu Bin couldn't go, so Lin Yifan cunningly knocked Zhang Chi unconscious.

Xu Bin, with a grim face, had initially trusted Lin Yifan, who was introduced by Yao Ling.

But he never expected that Lin Yifan would be so greedy and act irrationally.

Xu Bin, gritting his teeth, said, "Why should we listen to you?"

"That little girl and the plumber can leave, but Xu Bin... your friend is still in my hands."

Hearing Lin Yifan's confident tone, Xu Bin was so angry that his whole body trembled. Was this newcomer crazy!?

"What are you planning? Do you think the police or the National Guard will just leave after a while?"

The sound of the drill came through the walkie-talkie. Lin Yifan continued drilling the boxes calmly and said, "Just stay there and wait. You won't be targeted, right?"

"I won't be in danger. But please, don't risk my friend's life just because you're going crazy." Xu Bin, gritting his teeth, never expected this to happen.

This was completely unexpected by everyone. No one could have predicted that Lin Yifan would suddenly "lose it."

"I think whatever I say won't matter. Just focus on opening the boxes. I promise to get your friend out safely. The rest of you can do as you please. You can leave now, and I'll transfer the money to you later."

Lin Yifan's words sounded like those of a mentally unstable person.

It seemed he was so blinded by the money that he was ignoring the danger and frantically opening boxes.

"Hey... you? Hey!?"

Shouting into the walkie-talkie, Xu Bin, with his hands in his hair, turned pale, never expecting that someone introduced by an acquaintance would betray them.

However, as long as Xu Bin and the plumber didn't move, they could watch the drama unfold from outside the bank.

Now, the most dangerous person was probably Yin Hu. Lin Yifan was hiding in the vault, and only Yin Hu was controlling the situation in the waiting hall.

The other two thought Lin Yifan was delusional from the sight of the rewards, but the little girl, Yin Hu, remained calm until Lin Yifan finished speaking.

Yin Hu's eyelids twitched a few times, and she said, "Newcomer, you sound like you know something."

"Hey, just watch the show."

Lin Yifan threw the walkie-talkie aside and continued drilling the safe, his crazed look intensifying.

Ten minutes passed, and Yin Hu held a hostage at knife-point, preventing the American police from entering.

Fifteen minutes later, the SWAT team surrounded the entrance, and a large number of special police arrived to control the situation. Lin Yifan had already drilled open one wall of boxes, with two more walls left.

Twenty minutes later, helicopters roared overhead, and several armored vehicles rushed in. Three different types of armed organizations had surrounded the small bank, making it airtight.

Negotiators, snipers, and other experts increased over time, making the situation increasingly terrifying and overwhelming to watch.

Inside the vault, Lin Yifan had already worn out one drill. Sweating profusely, he sat on a pile of U.S. dollars, using a few torn American bills to wipe the sweat from his face.

In his spare time, he lit a U.S. dollar and used it to light a cigarette, lying among the gold bars, feeling extremely happy.

Crushing the burning bill with his hand, Lin Yifan glanced at his watch, estimating that it was about time.

"Ouch... what happened?" Zhang Chi, touching the bleeding back of his head, sat up, looking confused.

Lin Yifan beckoned to him and pointed to several large bags of gold and jewelry, "Put them on your back."

Still dazed, Zhang Chi saw several rows of safes half-opened and gasped, becoming more alert.

"What...?"

"Want to live? Don't ask questions. Let's go." Lin Yifan carried a large bag on his back and dragged another large bag in his hand.

Calmly opening the door, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Xu Bin, come as fast as you can, don't hesitate."

Xu Bin, in the Hummer, opened his eyes wide, seeing the overwhelming number of armed personnel in front of him. Was Lin Yifan sending him to his death?

But before he could think for a few seconds, the space outside the Lai Fu Bank's entrance distorted, and several dimensional doors suddenly opened.
