Chapter 1671: Chapter 793_3
But hearing the enraged voice of Cleveland, he imdiately knew that his last shred of hope had completely shattered. His words trembled as he spoke, and just by the sound, you could tell the speaker was engulfed in fear: “The safe, the security personnel inside, everything… it’s all gone…”
Cleveland’s hand tightened around the phone, and had he not been so old and frail, the phone might very well have been crushed. His body began to lightly tremble as well, ignited by a searing anger that burned like a raging inferno!
First, the secure storage rooms for valuables, then the bank vaults, and now even the safes that had just been sent out weren’t spared. This was absolutely not a simple robbery — it was a conspiracy, a shaless and humiliating conspiracy.
There was an insider, there definitely was an insider.
Not a single trace had been left behind, yet such a monuntal and extravagant cri had been committed flawlessly. It was not only an inside-out collaboration but must have been executed by a well-organized and disciplined ard group. No ordinary person would possess such capability…
As Cleveland fud and speculated furiously, in the dinosaur base, four bewildered and wary figures stood around, staring at the muscular black oxen, voicing one question after another: “Where is this place? Why are we here? Where are our weapons?”
As they voiced their confusion, a voice ca from behind: “Hey there, brothers, new around here?”
The four of them spun around abruptly and saw, not far away, an obese middle-aged man grinning at them, his expression peculiar and foolish…
…
“Ding-dong, ding-dong…”
In the hallway of the hotel, Yang Xing pressed Yan Fei’s doorbell a few tis. He intended to remind Yan Fei not to sleep too long in the afternoon; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night, thus failing to adjust to the ti difference.
But after waiting for a while and still no door opened, he decided not to keep pressing the bell and planned to go back to his room and return later. Turning away, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “Young people do sleep deeply.”
Back in his room, Yang Xing picked up his tea cup, took a couple of sips, and casually turned on the TV. After just a glance, he almost spewed out the water he was drinking.
It was too explosive — sothing that absolutely couldn’t be seen back ho!
On the television screen was a live broadcast of the bank robbery in Phoenix City. Police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks arrived one after another, squads of heavily ard soldiers marched in droves, and spectators gathered in crowds…
These self-proclaid democratic capitalist countries — they’re truly a chaotic ss!
Yang Xing sat down, listening to the reporter on the scene nervously detailing the bank robbery behind him. First ca the long-winded background introduction of the bank, replete with terms like “century-old history.” Then the report shifted to casualties — a few missing, several fatalities, the progress of the case, and so on…
While reciting this information, the reporter suddenly covered his earpiece with a surprised expression. After confirming twice, he turned back to the mic with a grave look and announced, “Our station has just received breaking news. A cash transport vehicle that departed not long ago has been hijacked. Along with it, all personnel in the vehicle have also gone missing. This case is riddled with mysteries, and speculation arises that the bank’s internal staff might be involved…”
Yang Xing was slightly startled. From the reporter’s revelations, the hit on this bank was excessively thorough. Even if highway robbers stripped people of their possessions, at least they’d leave them with the clothes on their backs. But these thieves—well, not only did they take the clothes, they practically stripped the victims of their underwear; they didn’t even leave a scrap of soup behind!
Now, not a single official in Arica dared to speak out, and journalists received “no comnt” answers to every inquiry. Yet the reporters, now resigned to the lack of answers, transford into overconfident amateur detectives, spouting all sorts of absurd theories that were utterly laughable…
As he watched the news, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Yang Xing walked over to open it, only to find Yan Fei standing there, his spirit invigorated. Unable to hold back a smile, he teased, “Young folks sure sleep well. I rang your doorbell a few tis earlier, and you didn’t wake up. I wanted to tell you not to sleep too much this afternoon so you could sleep soundly tonight!”
Yan Fei seed to be in a good mood and joked, “So that’s why I suddenly woke up while sleeping so nicely — it turns out Teacher Yang ca to call . Don’t worry. I sleep perfectly fine and will sleep straight through till morning tonight for sure.”
After stepping inside and casually shutting the door behind him, he added softly, “At ho, there’s always a lot to worry about. Sotis, even while lying in bed, the thoughts don’t stop. Now that I’m out, I feel completely relaxed, and my sleep is extra peaceful…”
“Being a boss isn’t easy — doing anything isn’t easy,” Yang Xing nodded in agreent, then gestured toward the TV. “Take a look at this. Even capitalist banks over here can’t catch a break. A perfectly good bank just ends up getting emptied in no ti…”
“Really?” Yan Fei sat down with interest. “I’ve got to see this…”
It was fortunate that Yang Xing didn’t know anything and couldn’t connect the dots, or he might have asked outright: “Is this real? Don’t you have so sense of accountability?”
The news continued looping coverage of the shocking afternoon robbery. Seeing it get late, both Yang Xing and Yan Fei figured they’d better head out to grab sothing to eat.
During the al, Yang Xing couldn’t help but use the opportunity to admonish Yan Fei: “Xiao Fei, don’t take it the wrong way, but listen to your teacher. You’ve seen it yourself: this so-called democratic and free Arica isn’t exactly stable. We’re here for work, so let’s just focus on getting our things done properly. As for your so-called beef market research, I think you should put that on hold for now. Don’t wander around needlessly!”
Yan Fei agreed wholeheartedly, “Don’t worry, Teacher. After what happened at the airport, do you think I’d dare wander around carelessly? I’ll definitely stay put and follow the rules!”
Co on, who even wanders around these days? Isn’t everyone flying high?
Besides, if I didn’t go out, how would you get to watch such juicy news?
