He had just married a policewoman when he was diagnosed with criminal genius.

Zhou Weidong smiled wryly: "We really want to bring your husband back too."

"But your husband is too slippery."

"He was supposed to be a criminal in a practice exercise, but he actually got away."

Jiang Xue was stunned.

"Captain Zhou, you said Lu Chen acted as a robber during the drill and got away?"

Zhou Weidong put down his chopsticks.

They stopped eating.

"Yes, we deployed so many police officers that we completely surrounded the bank."

"But he still got away."

"We don't even know how he got away."

Zhou Weidong looked like he was about to cry.

Even when faced with real bank robbers, they had never felt so frustrated.

Moreover, this time the bureau chief personally led the team.

Director Ding has handled at least five similar real bank robbery cases.

The mission was completed perfectly every time.

As a result, they stumbled in this small exercise.

This time it wasn't just their Yuhua branch.

It's estimated that the entire Jiangbei City Police Department will become famous again.

However, it's not a good reputation.

The fact that even a criminal could escape during a drill makes it hard not to question their professionalism.

Jiang Xue was truly stunned this time.

My husband actually escaped during the arrest operation led by Director Ding!

Outsiders might not know, but Jiang Xue did. She knew that the special police and criminal police officers in Yuhua District were definitely not incompetent fools.

Furthermore, Ding Jianguo is leading the team.

There was no way Lu Chen could have run away from the bank.

Surrendering obediently is Lu Chen's only way out.

However, the result was completely the opposite.

Jiang Xue suddenly remembered what Lu Chen had told her that day: Never surrender until you successfully rob the bank.

Now Lu Chen has actually done it.

"Forget it, if you ask me anything else, I don't know either." Zhou Weidong paused and continued, "Director Ding said that we'll have a debriefing meeting after dinner."

"I'll ask around later, and you'll understand everything when you attend the meeting too."

Jiang Xue nodded, and unconsciously, she ate a little faster.

2:00

Ding Jianguo sat in the conference room, with three items on the table in front of him.

A note that reads "Enjoy the exercise".

A replica of a police officer's uniform.

There is also a USB flash drive.

The USB drive contained footage of a pre-installed camera filming the bank.

These videos were originally intended for public awareness and warning purposes.

Now it can be used for post-mortem analysis.

Zhou Weidong, Jiang Xue, Chen Lei, and several other mid-level cadres who participated in the operation sat around the conference table.

Of course, there's also Lu Chen, the protagonist of this incident.

Even if Lu Chen had the thickest skin at this moment...

My face was turning red from being stared at by these people.

Lu Chen cleared his throat and unconsciously straightened his back: "Gentlemen, the way you're looking at me... do you think I have a case on my face that you need to solve?"

Although he was speaking to everyone, his eyes involuntarily drifted towards Jiang Xue.

In his mind, all the so-called "leaders" in this room combined didn't carry the weight of a single word from his wife.

Seeing that Jiang Xue only frowned slightly, her expression showing a hint of confusion, but she did not get angry.

Lu Chen finally felt relieved, and his tense shoulders gradually relaxed.

Ding Jianguo smiled and said, "You may not have any cases on your face, but what you've done is more worthy of our investigation than any case."

Lu Chen opened his mouth, but didn't say anything more.

He knew that Ding Jianguo was referring to the morning's exercise.

Ding Jianguo changed the subject, his tone becoming serious: "The exercise failed, and that's it. We admit that."

"This isn't Lu Chen's fault; it's our team's fault for not doing things properly."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on the table: "Here, I have a question."

This self-criticism made the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.

"But," Ding Jianguo's gaze turned serious again, "we need to know how we failed. Even if we die, we want to die knowing why."

He said firmly, "That's why we need to hold this debriefing meeting. We'll strive to avoid making the same mistake again next time."

Ding Jianguo picked up the USB drive.

"Here is the video footage taken inside the bank this morning. It's already edited. Let's watch the video and review it together. If there's anything missing, Lu Chen, could you please add it?"

"Oh, oh!" Lu Chen nodded.

To be honest, it always felt a bit strange to make him watch a video of himself committing a robbery.

In the scene, Lu Chen enters the bank disguised as a repairman.

Soon Lu Chen changed into the fluorescent yellow uniform of the bank's security department.

They managed to sneak through the first electronic combination lock and rendered it useless.

Only then did they reveal their identities as robbers.

The series of actions—attaching the sensors, lowering the roller shutters and windows, and cutting off the power—were all completed in one smooth motion.

It looked like they had rehearsed it many times.

Zhou Weidong and Chen Lei subconsciously glanced at Lu Chen, who was sitting rather loosely to the side.

Is the person inside really the same person as the person in this room?

And is it true that Lu Chen has never worked in this industry before?

Otherwise, why would he be so skilled?

The bank was plunged into darkness due to the power outage.

Their pre-prepared cameras switched to infrared mode.

Even in the darkness, Lu Chen's movements could be clearly seen.

As the video plays.

They were increasingly surprised.

From God's perspective, they realized that Lu Chen had done so many things.

These actions are all directed at them.

There are also some actions that seem meaningless now.

However, Chen Lei proved in practice that these factors eventually became one of the reasons why Lu Chen was able to escape.

Furthermore, they believed that they had done their utmost in accordance with the requirements of the action plan.

However, Lu Chen still managed to retaliate in various ways.

What happened next silenced everyone in the conference room.

Lu Chen entered the vault without touching the lock.

He squatted down and began to study how to disassemble the door frame.

The tools used are very simple.

A bottle of chemical reagent they didn't know what it was, a screwdriver, and a jack.

He dripped a few drops of reagent into the crack in the door frame.

I waited for about thirty seconds.

……

Watching Lu Chen's actions.

Zhou Weidong and his companions were stunned.

Is Lu Chen dismantling the vault door?

They had no idea that Lu Chen had opened the ICBC bank's vault.

As each screw on the vault door frame was removed...

The door frame creaked and groaned.

It lasted for about two minutes.

Then the entire door frame deformed.

The two-ton, eight-foot steel door, along with its frame, collapsed.

No one spoke in the meeting room.

Apart from Ding Jianguo, who already knew that Lu Chen had opened the vault.

The rest of the people all had expressions of shock on their faces.

After a long pause, Zhou Weidong murmured, "No, the door to the ICBC's Class C vault was just broken open like that."

Chen Lei added, "He didn't even use a cutting machine?!"

No one needs to answer this question.

Because it was clearly shown in the video.

Lu Chen only brought a few things with him.
