Chapter 119: Are You Sure You’re Not Joking?
As for touching Bai Shishi’s hand, Lin Tian didn’t give it much thought. It’s just a touch, right?"
What’s the big deal about touching it a couple of times?
Lin Tian also didn’t mind Bai Shishi’s hostile gaze. Stare if you want, it’s not like she can kill me, right?
The urgent thing is to hurry up and leave.
Bai Shishi looked at Lin Tian, who was acting somewhat unusually, feeling baffled.
What’s wrong with Lin Tian?
She always thought he was quite steady, but today he’s become so anxious and frivolous?
Watching Bai Shishi not only not leaving because of his presence but instead standing there warily staring at him, Lin Tian felt a rush of anxiety inside.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have bothered, and maybe the two would have already left the bank by now.
Bai Shishi thought well of Lin Tian, and if he had touched her hand before, she wouldn’t have said anything.
But pulling her hand inexplicably and urging her to leave indeed left her baffled: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Lin Tian let go of Bai Shishi’s hand: "Miss Bai, just come with me!"
"Alright!" Bai Shishi nodded rationally, after all, Lin Tian was usually steady and rarely acted so out of character.
Although she was shocked and angry when he grabbed her hand, once she calmed down, she could clearly see the anxiety on Lin Tian’s face, giving her a vague feeling that something was amiss.
Unfortunately, Bai Shishi’s realization was a bit late because, when two people wearing baseball caps appeared at the main bank entrance, the two people wearing baseball caps in the lobby also finally moved...
"Bang!"
A sharp gunshot suddenly turned the previously quiet bank into utter chaos.
Screams, cries, and the robbers’ shouting scared everyone in the hall into finding places to hide.
"Don’t move, lie down on the floor! Anyone who doesn’t listen won’t get any mercy!" one man wearing a white baseball cap took off the cap to reveal a shiny bald head.
As the gunshot sounded, Lin Tian sighed slightly, squatted helplessly on the floor while looking at Bai Shishi, who was terrified.
They wasted too much time earlier, missing the best chance to escape.
But you can’t blame Bai Shishi, as she was unaware of the impending danger.
Now, leaving is impossible, and don’t forget this group of robbers has guns!
Having guns means being extremely cautious; otherwise, one wrong move could get you shot.
Bai Shishi, squatting not far from Lin Tian, finally realized why he was urgently pulling her hand to leave earlier.
"Sorry, I misunderstood you!"
"It’s okay. Let’s just focus on how to stay safe now!" Lin Tian put his hands on his head while observing the situation in the bank lobby.
He thought the robbers numbered four, but suddenly two more appeared, making it six.
Two guarded the small exit by the ATM, two stood at the main bank entrance—these two were the ones who walked in and fired—and the two sitting in the lounging area were controlling the hall.
Meanwhile, the people squatting on the floor were mostly there for banking errands, and most were women.
The few men there included two bank security guards, who had no resistance capabilities, making Lin Tian give up any thoughts of resistance.
He’s not a superhero and doesn’t want to be a hero, as long as the robbers don’t hurt Bai Shishi, why should he care how much they steal?
So.
After a look around, Lin Tian decided to stay close to Bai Shishi, preventing any unexpected occurrences.
Bai Shishi had probably never encountered a bank robbery like this before, and she was already petrified, squatting there not knowing what to do!
"Listen up, everyone, put your hands on your heads and move to the lounging area while squatting. As long as you follow my instructions, I guarantee not to hurt you!"
"But!"
"If any of you dare resist, you’ll meet no mercy from me!" The bald robber said, pulling the trigger again and firing at the ceiling.
For a moment, the bank hall fell silent, leaving only the sound of shoes scraping the floor and heavy breathing.
Everyone moved toward the lounging area in unison, albeit slowly.
Soon, the lounging area was crammed with people squatting on the floor; there was no other choice if you wanted to live, you had to obey the robbers.
Lin Tian followed right behind Bai Shishi and as soon as they moved to the lounging area, he heard a sinister laugh behind him: "Whoa, there’s a pretty chick!"
"Look at that curvy figure!"
"Tsk-tsk! So tempting!" The two robbers guarding the ATM exit had their evil eyes fixed on Bai Shishi.
Lin Tian naturally understood what the two robbers were thinking; who doesn’t like a beautiful woman?
Any man would probably be interested in Bai Shishi, but shouldn’t you consider the situation you’re in?
This is a bank robbery, and instead of grabbing money, you’re gawking at Bai Shishi?
Are these robbers even professional?
They’re way too amateur for this!!!
Or is it that their aim isn’t to rob the bank?
This fleeting thought crossed Lin Tian’s mind and quickly vanished.
If they weren’t here to rob the bank but were targeting Bai Shishi, they wouldn’t act in the bank; wouldn’t it make more sense to wait until the two left the bank?
After all, if you act in the bank and fire a gun, the nature of it completely changes.
Regardless of their purpose, Lin Tian obediently put his hands on his head, squatting on the floor, cautiously keeping an eye on both the robbers and Bai Shishi, fearing she might get hurt.
In the bank hall, the trembling crowd squatted on the floor, guarded by two robbers, while the other four took knives and hammers out of their backpacks and violently smashed the bulletproof glass at the service counter.
Unfortunately, after just a few hits, all four were cradling their hands in pain, seemingly shaken hard by the bulletproof glass.
Looking at the bulletproof glass, aside from a few clear marks, there are no cracks at all.
Seeing this through the corners of his eyes, Lin Tian wanted to laugh but dared not make a sound. These robbers are really dumb; did they think the bulletproof glass could be smashed just like that?
Bullets can’t even penetrate it!
You think a big hammer can break it?
Think it’s like breaking other people’s windows?
One hit and it shatters?
Are you here to put on a show?
"Lin Tian, be careful. If they want to grab the safe, let them have it!" Bai Shishi whispered in Lin Tian’s ear.
A warmth surged in Lin Tian’s heart: "I understand, Miss Bai, you be careful too, don’t let them hurt you!"
Suddenly, Bai Shishi shifted the topic: "Lin Tian, who do you think they are? How can they have the guts to rob a bank?"
Lin Tian’s face turned black: "Miss Bai, now’s not the time to worry about that!
