"Where are you?" Ding Jianguo asked.

"I'm eating noodles at the noodle shop on the street corner!"

Ding Jianguo was completely speechless.

While everyone was frantically searching for Lu Chen inside the bank.

Lu Chen had already gone to a noodle shop outside to eat lunch.

None of the hundreds of criminal police officers and special police officers had lunch.

at the same time.

Outside the bank, a crowd of onlookers gathered.

The prisoner was nowhere to be seen, and was not yet being escorted into the police car.

Until now, they noticed that these special police officers and criminal investigators seemed to have started packing their things.

Even the police tape has started to be removed.

Old Wang, the owner of the hardware store, was puzzled.

"Something's not right?!"

Old Liu, who runs the fruit stall, asked, "Is something wrong?"

Old Wang said, "Why haven't they brought the robbers out yet this year? Why are they closing up shop already?"

Old Liu: "Now that you mention it, it's true."

They witnessed the entire robbery from beginning to end.

Usually, at the end, when the robbers are arrested by the special police, they are taken out and paraded around.

Surprisingly, not this time.

It raises suspicion.

Old Wang said, "Could it be that the perpetrators from the exercise escaped?"

Old Liu wondered, "How could the criminals in the drill escape?"

In their normal understanding, the criminals in the drills were just putting on an act.

In the end, they will all be successfully arrested and brought to justice by the police.

There is no precedent for criminals escaping.

"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible," Old Wang paused, then continued, "but haven't you noticed that something's off about this exercise?"

Old Liu thought for a moment and said, "It seems that's really true!"

"If there weren't so many SWAT officers, how could the criminals have escaped?"

"Are these SWAT officers just sitting around doing nothing?"

"Is it possible that the assailant was too skilled?"

"..."

Ten minutes later.

Lu Chen slowly appeared at the entrance of ICBC.

It's as if they've come to visit.

Ding Jianguo and Vice President Li hurriedly went to greet them.

"Lu Chen, where are the diamonds?" Ding Jianguo asked.

His voice sounded a little nervous.

Lu Chen took out a sparkling diamond from his pocket and dazzled it in the sunlight.

The vice president took it with both hands, held it in his palms for three seconds, and then let out a long sigh.

He handed the diamond to Old Zhou, who was standing nearby, and said, "Put it back."

Old Zhou nodded, turned around and left.

The vice president then extended his hand to Lu Chen: "You must be Consultant Lu from the Jiangbei City Police Department?"

"I am Li Guoqiang, the vice president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) Jiangbei Branch."

Lu Chen shook his hand: "Hello, I'm Lu Chen."

"Lu Chen, you really fooled us this time," Ding Jianguo said from the side. "If you had told me earlier that you were this capable, I wouldn't have bothered with you."

Lu Chen smiled.

He knew that Ding Jianguo was just joking with him and wasn't really angry.

"Director Ding, you told me to do it exactly as you instructed," Lu Chen said. "I did everything according to your instructions."

Ding Jianguo pointed at his own nose: "Did I tell you to do whatever I wanted? Did I tell you to tear down the door to someone's vault?"

Lu Chen said, "Doesn't it seem like robbers broke down the vault door?"

Ding Jianguo opened his mouth, but found he couldn't refute it.

The vice president laughed beside him: "It's so similar, so very similar."

"Just now, Lao Zhou was asking me if we had hired a real robber, otherwise how could he be so skilled?"

All three of them laughed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, the vice president quickly said, "Advisor Lu, after this exercise by you..."

"I've really discovered that our bank still has many loopholes."

"Thank you so much."

Lu Chen didn't expect Vice President Li to be so polite.

"President Li, please don't be so polite. It's just my job."

Li Guoqiang stood opposite Lu Chen, opening his mouth several times, but then stopping himself from speaking.

Finally, he took a deep breath, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice: "Mr. Lu... could I please grant you a request?"

Lu Chen asked in confusion, "What is it? Please tell me?"

Li Guoqiang gave a wry smile: "That's how it is... We're completely convinced this time."

Then he said, "Consultant Lu, would you be interested in becoming a security consultant for our bank? The salary will be three times that of the Jiangbei Police Station."

Ding Jianguo called out from the side, "Old Li!"

Li Guoqiang glanced at Ding Jianguo and laughed, "I was just kidding."

But the way he looked at Lu Chen didn't seem like he was joking.

Li Guoqiang put away his joking attitude, looked up at Lu Chen, and his eyes were filled with an almost earnest seriousness.

"Actually, I would like to ask you to come to our bank and provide some guidance, especially regarding security, and to identify any loopholes that we may not have noticed."

Lu Chen then understood.

The other person's eyes no longer held just a request, but also a deep respect for "professionalism".

He could tell that they were interested in his ability to "find fault".

Yes, this trip of mine not only pried open their seemingly impregnable gate, but also dismantled their proud security system from the inside out.

All the loopholes that were hidden in the sunlight have been exposed.

Li Guoqiang continued, "We won't let you come for free. One session of guidance costs ten thousand yuan. How about it?"

Li Guoqiang then looked at Ding Jianguo.

"Director Ding, this shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Ding Jianguo shook his head: "No problem. Although Lu Chen is a senior advisor to our Jiangbei City Police Department, he has a high degree of freedom. He won't make any mistakes by earning some extra money."

"As for whether you agree or not, you'll have to ask Lu Chen."

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I agree. When will I come?"

For Lu Chen, it was a piece of cake to spend a day or two at the bank providing guidance and identify some problems with the design of the bank's vault doors.

For Lu Chen, this money was too good to pass up.

A surge of elation rose on Li Guoqiang's face: he knew that the deal was done.

In his view, if Lu Chen could fill in all the loopholes in their bank's systems and designs, that would be a great success.

Then their bank's security standards probably need to be redefined.

Li Guoqiang said, "Let's do it tomorrow. It's not good for the doors to be left open like this all the time."

"Please keep a close eye on it when it's installed tomorrow and see if there are any problems."

He didn't want a repeat of the situation where Lu Chen used chemical reagents and some simple tools to dismantle the door frame.

"No problem!" Lu Chen said.

"Alright!" Ding Jianguo finally couldn't wait any longer; he had many questions for Lu Chen.

"Don't just stand here, come back with me and let's review what happened. I'll see where the problem lies."

He turned to Li Guoqiang and said, "I'm taking the person with me. I'll look for you again next time there's an exercise."

The deputy bank manager was startled: "Don't come to us again. If this happens again, our bank can't handle it."

……

Yuhua District Public Security Bureau Branch.

canteen.

While getting their meals, many people noticed that the special police and criminal investigation team members didn't seem to be in a good mood.

The other officers in the police station became curious.

They left in a huff that morning.

They came back when it was time for dinner.

But they all seemed to have suffered defeats.

They were all covered in dust and dirt.

Jiang Xue ran into Zhou Weidong, who had also finished getting his food, after she finished getting hers.

Zhou Weidong was one of those who went out to lead the team in the morning.

Jiang Xue was about to go and ask what was going on, whether there was a problem with the exercise.

Is the exercise over yet?

She doesn't dare to call Lu Chen at all right now.

The main concern was that it might affect Lu Chen.

"Captain Zhou, was the trip out this morning about the joint police-bank exercise?"

Zhou Weidong saw that it was Jiang Xue.

He forced a smile: "Xiao Jiang, yes, it's about that."

"Is it over?"

"it's over!"

"What about Lu Chen? Why didn't he come back with you? Did he go home?"

Zhou Weidong also wanted Lu Chen to come back with them.

But who told them not to catch Lu Chen?
