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

His tone was so indifferent that Shen Sui'an inexplicably let go of his hand.

The guard, enraged, took two steps forward, pressing his weapon almost against the man's chest. "I told you to squat down, didn't you hear me? You're asking for trouble!"

He's so brave!

That's bold!

Shen Sui'an forgot her fear and didn't notice that the hostage squatting next to her secretly looked up, staring at her with wide eyes as if watching some kind of show.

There was absolutely no sense of panic about being kidnapped.

Chen Zhiye tilted his head slightly, and the sunlight shone through the glass, falling on his profile and outlining the cold, hard curve of his jawline. "The safe can't be opened, can it?"

The robber looked up abruptly and, sure enough, saw his accomplice behind the counter angrily pointing at the lobby manager, shouting, "Where's the key! Where's the combination!"

The manager's lips trembled. "I don't have it. The keys are kept by two people. The bank manager isn't here. I only have the keys..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Zhi said lazily, "I know how to solve it."

His accomplice behind the counter rushed out and demanded, "You know how to solve this? You're just a crew-cut guy..."

The robber couldn't continue speaking; he didn't look like an ordinary person.

But the bank robberies must continue.

His eyes flashed fiercely. "Stop trying to fool me, how could a commoner like you know this!"

Chen Zhiye took two steps forward, completely ignoring the weapon pressed against his chest, and walked past the hostages. "I've done this before."

"but."

He slowly raised his eyelids, revealing his eyes, which were filled with extremely faint emotions. A half-smile played at the corners of his mouth. "When I turn the keypad, you all be quiet."

Chen Zhiye spoke slowly, almost as if counting seconds, with a playful air about him. "If you disturb me, and I accidentally make a mistake and the lock jams, then you won't be able to open this door."

What an arrogant hostage!

Was he the robber, or was the other robber?

He stared at Chen Zhiye for a full half minute, his hands clenched so tightly they cracked, his knuckles turning white. He clearly understood the threat lurking in those words, yet he dared not gamble.

After all, the vault door was their only objective for this trip.

The robber spat and kicked the metal cabinet next to him hard, making the number tags on the cabinet door rattle loudly: "Damn it, you win!"

He then looked at the lobby manager and warned him menacingly, "Listen to me, do exactly what he says. If you dare to try anything funny—"

Then he dragged the manager over like a chick. He wanted to drag Chen Zhiye like that too, but seeing how tall Chen Zhiye was, he decided against it.

Others failed to get their turn, but I lost face.

The robber forced the manager to sit in front of the vault's combination lock, licked his back teeth, and said to Chen Zhiye, who was being dragged in by his accomplices, "If either of you dares to get a single number wrong, I'll splatter your blood all over this door!"

Chen Zhi didn't even look at the gun barrels pointed at him. He simply gestured with his chin to the lobby manager, his voice as calm as if he were talking about something insignificant: "The cipher machine has inner and outer rings. Turn the outer ring three times clockwise, aligning it with mark 27."

The manager's hands were shaking so badly that his fingertips almost slipped off the cold keypad as soon as they touched it.

Chen Zhiye glanced at him, his tone becoming more subdued, "Stay calm, don't tremble. One wrong step and the lock cylinder will be ruined."

The robber yelled from the side, "Stop dawdling! Hurry up!"

The manager gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and slowly turned the keypad as instructed.

"Stop on the outer circle, turn to the inner circle, two counter-clockwise circles, and align with 53."

Chen Zhiye's gaze fell on the cipher machine, without even frowning. "Last round, clockwise, align with 19. Slow down, when the marks are aligned, there will be a very soft click, stop when you hear it."

Just as the manager's fingertip touched the 19 mark, Chen Zhiye suddenly spoke, his voice still steady but with a hint of barely perceptible mockery: "Wait, go back half a step."

The manager was taken aback, but subconsciously did as instructed.

The robber next to him immediately yelled, "What the hell are you trying to do?!"

Chen Zhiye smiled enigmatically: "What's the rush? It'll open soon."

As soon as the words were spoken, a dull clicking sound came from the metal keypad—

It wasn't the soft click of the lock cylinder opening; it was the stiff, resonant sound of gears completely meshing.

The manager's face turned deathly pale instantly, his hand trembled, and the keypad stopped turning even a fraction of an inch.

"You!" The gang leader raised his weapon, aiming it at Chen Zhiye's temple. "You did this on purpose!"

Chen Zhi didn't even blink, a casual smile playing on his lips: "Oh? Is that so?"

He tapped lightly on the cold vault door with his fingertips, the sound not loud. "Maybe your hands are too shaky, or maybe... this lock is too fragile."

Enraged, the robber shouted, "I'll shoot you!"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Zhiye suddenly flipped his wrist, and the letter opener hidden in his sleeve slid into his palm.

He didn't even give the robber leader a chance to pull the trigger; his body, like a cheetah that had been poised for a long time, suddenly lunged forward.

The 1.93-meter-tall figure carried a terrifying impact, his shoulder slamming into the robber's chest. The robber groaned as his weapon flew out of his hand, sliding across the marble floor to his feet.

The sound of the letter opener cutting through the air was extremely faint, so fast that only a flash of cold light remained.

Chen Zhiye gripped the robber's wrist with his left hand, while his right hand held the dagger precisely against the robber's carotid artery. The force was perfectly controlled, neither breaking the skin nor lacking the pressure that could kill instantly.

"Noisy." He said indifferently, his wrist slightly twisted.

The robber's face turned pale with pain. The turn of events was so fast that his two accomplices didn't even have time to react. By the time they realized what was happening, their man had already been taken hostage!

The two men raised their arms to strike, but Chen Zhi suddenly tightened his grip on the robber, pressed down on the letter opener, and the not-so-sharp blade instantly sliced ​​through the skin of his neck, causing fine beads of blood to seep out immediately.

"Holy crap!"

When did he touch the letter opener on the counter?

Are Cui Hao and Qian Shuhang dead? How come they didn't even notice?!

The stinging pain in his neck made Ji Ran's scalp tingle.

What happened?!

Isn't this just a drill?

Their exercise with the special police was to see if they could successfully open the vault and escape with the money, or if the other side could successfully rescue the hostages and capture them all.

Who is this person?

Those who remained at the bank today were either staff members or informed volunteers.

The blood was fake, the weapons were fake, and the bang sound was pre-recorded.

Ji Ran raised his head with difficulty, not daring to make the angle too large.

All he could see was the sharp jawline of the man holding him hostage, and he had only one thought in his mind: this man was not bluffing at all.

He really dares to do it!

Ji Ran panicked, "I said, bro..."

When Cui Hao and Qian Shuhang saw the blood, they panicked and were both thinking.

This isn't a drill, this is playing with fire!

Chen Zhiye casually looked up and asked, "Never seen blood before?"

The two nodded and then shook their heads.

I've never seen anything like this before.

Chen Zhi also scoffed and said not to ask him to take care of the child.

I'm so bored.

He controlled Ji Ran with one hand, and with a slight movement of his feet, the weapon flew up. He caught it and struck Cui Hao and Qian Shuhang one by one.
