Chapter 34 — The Bank Robbery
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The police at the door fell silent at once. While they had to limit the bank's losses, they also had to protect the lives of everyone inside. It was a thankless job. After the alarm came in, Qiu Lingshan, deputy captain of the criminal police team, had rushed to the bank with a large force.
Yang Huaijun, captain of the criminal police team, had gone out of town for a meeting, leaving Qiu Lingshan in charge of the team. To tell the truth, Qiu Lingshan was under great pressure, especially after just receiving a call from the chief, ordering her to lead the team in handling the robbery and hinting to her that Gu Pengzhan's daughter and Old Chen's granddaughter were both inside the bank, and that not the slightest harm could come to them!
If anything happened to Shen Yushu, not to mention the chief himself, even the higher levels of officialdom would be rocked by a great earthquake.
So after the thugs shouted their threat, Qiu Lingshan decisively ordered her men to stop shouting through the loudspeaker and do nothing more to enrage the thugs.
The bald man was well pleased by the silence of the police, and with gun in hand he swept his eyes several times over the customers crouching on the ground. Many of the customers understood too. The thugs were looking for a hostage to use as a bargaining chip with the police!
With that thought, many people quickly lowered their heads, daring not to look up, afraid that they would be the one picked. After all, once taken as a hostage by the thugs, life or death would be uncertain. Faced with these brutal thugs, they did not have that kind of courage.
The bald man walked toward the crowd with a cold smile, and at last his gaze settled on Gu Mengyao beside Wei Zhao.
"You! Stand up!" The bald man pointed his gun at Gu Mengyao and said.
Gu Mengyao's heart jolted, and she tightened her grip on Shen Yushu's hand without thinking, looking up at the bald man.
"Oh? Quite a pretty little girl!" The bald man laughed lewdly and pointed his gun at Gu Mengyao again, "I am talking about you, stand up!"
"I..." Gu Mengyao had never faced such a scene before. Her heart pounded wildly and she did not know what to do, but she forced herself to hold on, telling herself that she must not cry now, she had to be strong! She had to be strong!
So Gu Mengyao gritted her teeth and slowly began to rise, but before she could get to her feet, she felt a pair of large hands press down on her shoulders and push her back down.
