My roommate's online boyfriend won't spend any coins, but he'll give me tons of gold

Shen Sui'an froze on the spot, the powerful force under her palm was surprisingly clear. Her nose brushed against the soft fabric, and a pleasant scent filled her nostrils. She didn't care what the scent was, nor did she dare to look up at the robber.

The man didn't move, letting her hold his waist.

His waist is so strong, it exudes power.

Shen Sui'an's thoughts were scattered, and for a moment he forgot to relax.

She blinked with difficulty and looked up when a soft click of the tongue sounded.

A soft, faint scent of gardenias enveloped me, and a pair of eyes, brimming with moisture yet stubbornly refusing to fall, were as clean as snow that had just melted in a mountain stream.

The moment Chen Zhiye looked down at the person in his arms, a hint of nonchalance was hidden in the shadow cast by his eyelashes.

He wrapped his arms around the back of her neck and said, "Hold on tight."

Shen Sui'an was taken aback as he led her to the waiting area across the street. The stranger's hand did not touch her skin, but Shen Sui'an could feel a burning heat emanating from him.

He whispered above her head, "Squat down."

Shen Suian subconsciously complied.

As soon as she squatted down, a sharp siren sounded outside, and several police cars blocked the exit in a fan shape, their red and blue lights flashing wildly on their roofs.

Special police officers disembarked from the vehicles in an orderly fashion and slowly advanced, ready to defend themselves. "Listen up, you inside, you are surrounded."

A loudspeaker blared throughout the bank lobby: "Put down your weapons immediately and release the hostages!"

Shen Sui'an finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was an alarm inside the bank counter, so taking the phone away was useless.

The police should be able to rescue them, right?

She wasn't sure.

These thugs were all armed.

The man crouching beside her had a straight back. Although everyone else had their hands behind their heads, he didn't flinch at all. His reaction was like a powerful reassurance, making her unable to resist leaning closer to him.

Chen Zhi also glanced sideways and smiled.

They're using him as a shield to hide.

They were definitely terrified, otherwise why would they choose the most dangerous person to hide with?

Thinking this to himself, he actually moved slightly to her side, shielding her from the chaos outside.

He was so tall that Shen Sui'an shrank behind him, her figure completely enveloped by him.

Shen Suian felt grateful. If she could escape death this time, she would definitely thank him properly after she got out.

The robbers ignored the special police outside and forced the lobby manager to open the door leading to the counter. The manager was trembling like a leaf, his fingers shaking as he tried to find the lock on the counter door, but his fingertips couldn't find the right keyhole no matter how many times he tried.

The thug kicked the counter impatiently, making the money counting machine inside buzz loudly. "Don't fucking try anything funny! I know this door has an emergency lock. The person inside, open the door right now, or I'll shoot him!"

The dark metal pipe was pressed firmly against the manager's forehead. The old teller inside was ashen-faced. The young girl opened the counter door tremblingly. The robber threw the manager aside, kicked the door open, grabbed the girl, and said in a sinister voice, "Take us to open the safe."

Shen Sui'an secretly counted the number of robbers; there were eight of them.

Fortunately, they only wanted money and didn't kill indiscriminately.

But her idea was quickly shattered. Something happened inside the counter, and with a loud bang, the elderly teller inside, covered in blood, fell backward.

The hostage screamed in terror, while the old woman squatting beside her muttered, "It's quite realistic."

Shen Suian didn't hear clearly, so she turned to look at the old lady. The old lady was chatting with her in secret, "Young lady, you're so pretty. How old are you this year? Where do you live? Are you a local? You don't look very old, so you're here to study, right?"

Shen Sui'an was completely bewildered. "Auntie, this is a robbery! Don't you have any sense of danger?"

Why are you investigating household registration here?

Shen Suian dared not speak at all, fearing that speaking would attract the attention of the thugs, and tried her best to minimize her presence.

The old woman disagreed, and even grabbed her arm, saying, "These robbers aren't all that scary, not as scary as the ones on TV. Look at that one..."

The old lady gestured with her chin and pointed towards the door, "He has shifty eyes and can't even hold a weapon properly. I think he's a pretty useless person."

Shen Sui'an tried to pull her hand away, but the old lady became even more agitated. "And those triangular eyes of hers, they look suspicious and not to be trifled with."

God's Milk!

Robbers are robbing a bank!

You're here and you still have the mind to gossip about robbers?

Can't you at least have some manners as a hostage?

Shen Suian was terrified. She was afraid the criminals would find out and she would lose her life because of them.

She moved to the side, trying to get away from the old lady.

The commotion finally caught the attention of the robbers, who yelled, "What are you doing?!"

A dark, gaping hole shot towards them, hitting the old woman with a loud bang. "You old hag, I've been listening to you muttering behind my back the whole time. Go tell your story to the King of Hell!"

"what!"

The old woman let out a mournful cry, closed her eyes, and immediately stopped struggling as she lay on the ground.

There are no more household registration investigations or gossip.

Shen Sui'an was terrified. Her legs went weak and she sat down on the ground, her face deathly pale. She didn't even dare to look at the old lady next to her. She supported herself with her hands on the ground, as if she could touch the warm blood flowing from the old lady's body.

She was so frightened that she immediately withdrew her hand, and two streams of tears fell down her cheeks.

The thugs who were about to attack thought to themselves, "Where did they find this volunteer? She's acting so realistically. Look how scared she is, she could be straight out of a police drama."

Shen Sui'an was so scared that she clung tightly to the clothes of the person in front of her.

Chen Zhi turned around. She was sitting on the ground, her hair disheveled, tears silently streaming down her face. Her slender legs were pressed against the cold floor tiles, and her snow-white socks were covered in dust. The delicate little cake she had brought in had turned into a dirty bag.

Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, then suddenly stood up. His 1.93-meter height made him stand out from the crowd of people who were squatting with their heads in their hands.

The robber immediately pointed his weapon at him: "Crouch down! Looking for death?!"

Shen Sui'an snapped out of her fear. Not wanting the kind person who had helped her to die for nothing, she reached out and tugged at the hem of his shirt.

Squat down.

Quickly squat down!

Don't anger them, or you'll lose your life!

The old clerk died, the old lady died, the next meeting will be his!

Shen Sui'an's hands were trembling again.

Chen Zhi felt her pulling him, and his lowered eyes met hers. Like a frightened fawn, even the corners of his eyes were slightly red, filled with worry for him.

A smile suddenly appeared in Chen Zhiye's eyes. Outside the glass windows on both sides, sirens wailed, police cars surrounded the exit, and special police were on high alert. Inside the lobby, criminals rushed into the counter with bags and stuffed cash inside.

He stood there, beneath the assailant's weapon, his fingertips brushing against her knuckles, his tone devoid of emotion: "Let go, I'm fine."
