Chapter 5: Salvation Like God (Collect it!)

  "You can go back now." Tai Shu Zheng Yu said as he walked to the bank entrance, saying this to the so-called negotiation expert. The expert's words were dry and without any progress, and just as he was getting impatient, he suddenly heard Tai Shu Zheng Yu's words and was stunned. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Jiang Yi An's side, only to see Jiang Yi An nodding helplessly at him.

  Now that things have come to this point, Jiang Yi'an has no choice but to go along with it. Although he doesn't know what kind of background Tai Shu Zheng Yu has, since Guo Anju's Cheng Kai has approved his actions, there's nothing much he can say about it. Even though Cheng Kai himself didn't take action, this way he indirectly shifted the responsibility to the National Security Bureau. Later on, even if something happens to the hostages, he'll have an excuse to shirk responsibility. Jiang Yi'an never thought that he could resolve this matter perfectly; as long as the hostages are safe, his responsibilities will be fewer, and he can keep his position as director for a few more years.

  The negotiator returned, and Tai Shu Zheng Yu walked slowly towards him. As soon as he pushed open the glass door, Tai Shu Zheng Yu was immediately yelled at: "Halt!" Tai Shu Zheng Yu stopped in his tracks, with a calm expression on his face, but a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes as he looked at the person who had emerged from behind the bank counter. "Tai Shu Zheng Yu, hurry up and leave!" Shi Ruo Han suddenly saw Tai Shu Zheng Yu walk in and was terrified, shouting out loud. As soon as she spoke, Shi Ruo Han let out a pained cry. The robber who stood up to speak didn't show any mercy, slapping Shi Ruo Han's face with his palm, yelling: "Shut your mouth, or I'll shoot you dead!" The robber pointed his gun at Shi Ruo Han's head, his expression ferocious and menacing, causing Shi Ruo Han to be terrified and forget the burning pain on her face.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu didn't think that Shi Ruo Han would still remember him, and at this time, he didn't forget to call out to him to hurry up. Originally, Tai Shu Zheng Yu came in also because of Shi Ruo Han, the reason was simple, because Shi Ruo Han was also a member of Deep Blue University, and gave Tai Shu Zheng Yu a good impression. In Tai Shu Zheng Yu's concept, university was just like being in the army, if he saw his own comrades in danger and didn't help, Tai Shu Zheng Yu couldn't do that. Looking at the robber's gun pointing at Shi Ruo Han's head, Tai Shu Zheng Yu had a hint of a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

  The thief immediately discovered Tai Shu Zheng Yu's movement as he was about to move forward. The thief shouted, "Halt! If you take one more step forward, I'll shoot you dead!" At this time, the thief's gun suddenly turned around and pointed at Tai Shu Zheng Yu. Tai Shu Zheng Yu's footsteps stopped again, and he coldly said, "I'm sure you won't kill anyone, nor do you dare to kill anyone. If I were you, I wouldn't delay any further, giving the police a chance to set up an ambush." Tai Shu Zheng Yu glanced at Shi Ruo Han with a reassuring gaze, signaling her not to be nervous.

  "You mind your own business, I only recognize money. If you don't leave now, I'll kill you!" The leader of the robbers was clearly the head of this group. As Uncle Zheng Yu walked in, the remaining six robbers also surrounded him, each holding a hostage in front of them and pointing their guns at Uncle Zheng Yu standing in the bank lobby. It seemed that Uncle Zheng Yu's words had hit the robber's weak spot, causing his face to change slightly, but quickly returned to its original ferocious expression.

  Tai Shu Zhengyu seemed to not notice the guns in their hands, his face still didn't show any anxious expression. He saw the slight change in the robber's expression and was even more convinced of his own guess. At this time, Tai Shu Zhengyu felt a sense of relief in his heart, indeed it had not exceeded his expectations. Tai Shu Zhengyu said: "If you are doing this for someone else, then you can surrender now. You have successfully delayed for almost an hour, and holding hostages is no longer useful. Your crime will be at most a few years in prison, isn't that right?" In his heart, Tai Shu Zhengyu was silently calculating the distance between the robber and the hostage, the gap, as well as the angle between the bank window and the robber and the hostage.

  Uncle Zheng Yu saw the robbers at this time like a mute, not saying a word. He immediately prescribed a strong medicine. Uncle Zheng Yu said coldly: "If you want to rob a bank and ask for 50 million, don't use that fake gun to scare children. It seems that your superiors never thought of letting you really get 50 million back. They just wanted to use you to attract the attention of the police. Now it's still possible to turn back." Uncle Zheng Yu was very familiar with firearms and could see at a glance that the guns in their hands were fake pistols with limited lethality, which would only leave bruises if shot at someone.

  Those hostages heard Tai Shu Zheng Yu's words and couldn't help but stir up. Seeing the situation was not good, the robbers immediately swung their guns at the hostages' backs, heads, and mouths, shouting angrily: "Whoever dares to move will be killed!" "Whoever moves again will taste the gun's flavor, try it out if it's real or fake." After a few threatening words, these hostages suddenly became obedient again. Although Shi Ruo Han's face showed a hint of fear, her eyes had a curious and surprised look. Tai Shu Zheng Yu actually had the guts to confront those vicious robbers without falling behind, which was truly shocking. This was absolutely not something an ordinary college student could do.

  On Tai Shu Zheng Yu's face, Shi Ruo Han saw calmness and confidence, so when others were getting restless, she didn't feel any unease, and her heart unknowingly calmed down. Shi Ruo Han looked at Tai Shu Zheng Yu, a flash of unknown brilliance flickering in her eyes. "Do you know where you failed?" Tai Shu Zheng Yu casually brought up a topic, his eyes constantly secretly sizing up the surroundings, trying to gain more time to complete his calculations.

  "What is it?" one of the robbers couldn't help but ask. The first robber who had spoken up glared at Tai Shu Zheng Yu and shouted, "Shut up!" Tai Shu Zheng Yu chuckled lightly and said, "Don't you know that when things go against the norm, there must be a demon at play? Since you want to know, I'll tell you. Firstly, your only demand from the police is money, 50 million in cash, without any need for transportation tools. Secondly, perhaps you had some training before taking action, but you're not qualified robbers. A robber who doesn't give the police a time limit, and doesn't show any signs of panic no matter what the police does, it means you don't care about the police's actions at all. You also didn't think about how to deal with the hostages, otherwise, you wouldn't have brought fake guns to rob the bank. The police are happy to see this situation, and will drag things out as long as they can. You're also clear that robbery is a serious crime, but without any casualties among the hostages, it's impossible to get the death penalty. And since your robbery wasn't successful, you're stalling for time with the police, feeling carefree. If you were more professional, I would have thought this was a real robbery case, but now it seems like just a conspiracy." As Tai Shu Zheng Yu spoke, he carefully observed everyone's expressions, not missing a single detail, especially the robbers' reactions.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu's words made all the robbers' faces change. Tai Shu Zheng Yu also hoped to resolve the issue peacefully and not have to resort to bloodshed to solve this trouble. Taking advantage of the situation, Tai Shu Zheng Yu said: "Since you've already delayed for an hour, release the hostages now, surrender, and when the time comes, the judge will reduce your sentence in court. It's not too late to let the hostages go now."

  Many of the robbers' faces wavered, looking at the leader. The leader gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, don't think I'll believe you, release the hostages, we only have one way to die, even if it's not a death sentence, this lifetime will be spent in prison, as long as I can get out, this lifetime will have endless wealth and glory! Don't rush, old man, my gun on their temples will still take their lives, slowly back away, tell those cops, within one minute, evacuate the area, leave a car behind, must fill up with gas, if you can't do these two things within a minute, don't blame me for being ruthless." The robber's expression was ferocious, his gun pressed hard against Shi Ruohan's temple. Shi Ruohan clenched her teeth tightly, not making any sound, but her eyes were filled with painful color.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu looked at the robber, still obstinate and unrepentant, and couldn't help but sigh. "Alright, since you've chosen this path, I'll do what needs to be done." Tai Shu Zheng Yu faced the robber, slowly backing away. Just as the robber saw Tai Shu Zheng Yu retreat for an instant, his mind relaxed slightly. In a flash, Tai Shu Zheng Yu drew out the pistol hidden behind him, without any aiming motion, and fired directly at the window. Earlier, before entering, Tai Shu Zheng Yu had already released the gun's safety, so all he needed to do was pull the trigger.

  Before Tai Shu Zheng Yu fired, he had calculated the positions of the robbers inside several times. They were not very dense, which helped his actions a lot. There were five bank windows, and almost every window allowed Tai Shu Zheng Yu to shoot at a robber, but he needed to move his position and adjust his gun. Tai Shu Zheng Yu's words attracted all the robbers, giving him the opportunity to fire.

  Additionally, Uncle Zheng Yu felt even more at ease with his actions after learning that the robbers' handguns were fake. He believed that when he opened fire, no one would think of harming the hostages, and even if they accidentally shot a hostage, it wouldn't pose any life-threatening danger to them. As for the robbers having hand grenades, Uncle Zheng Yu didn't consider this possibility. If the handguns were fake, would the hand grenades be real?

  Cui Cui, no recommendation for the previous Cui Cui list is fine. Everyone can raise and kill again, during the new book period, it cannot be updated too much, only after it goes on sale, can it be quickly updated. I hope everyone can understand this point. Need everyone's support!
