194: Chapter 186 Bank Robbery!!

"You are the most outstanding talent on our Ganpo soil, the spark that ignites the prairie fire, the dazzling new star sounding the strongest note of the era on this red land..."

After such a barrage of praise, Yang Tian felt goosebumps all over his body. He responded with an awkward smile, "Secretary, you flatter me too much!"

"I'm telling the truth. Our Yu City has become even more brilliant because of you!"

"Uh, you're looking for me for something, right?"

Yang Zhizhe couldn't help but laugh on the other end of the phone.

"It's strange to say, but in the past, the 'Top Ten Outstanding Youth' events were always held in the provincial capital. This year, however, it's being held in Qianzhou. So I think this must be related to you. Therefore, on behalf of the Yucheng County Committee and County Government, I am conveying the wishes of the Qianzhou Municipal Committee and Municipal Government to solemnly invite you to attend the 'Top Ten Outstanding Youth' awards ceremony this Friday!"

Right, right, right!

All that talk was just to get him to show up for the leaders and pull him over to their side!

Doing it this way was like forcing him into a dead end!

He hesitated for a few seconds before responding into the phone, "Since the Provincial Committee, Municipal Party Committee, and County Committee value me so much, how could I let down their kindness? I will definitely attend Friday's event on time!"

"Good!"

"Very good!"

"Excellent!"

After three consecutive praises, Yang Zhizhe finally hung up the phone.

Zhang Jingque looked at Yang Tian curiously and asked, "Brother Tianshen, how did you reply to the Municipal Bureau then?"

"I said I would attend the first-class merit award ceremony on time!"

"Huh?" Zhang Jingque's eyes widened as she asked, "But didn't you just promise Secretary Yang that you would attend the 'Top Ten Outstanding Youth' event?"

"Who cares!"

Yang Tian casually drew a lot, took a glance at it, and then tossed it into the trash can.

"Let them be happy for now! If I didn't agree to either side, believe it or not, the Provincial Department and the Municipal Government would be calling me next?"

"I believe you!"

[After all, Brother Tianshen is very much in demand right now. But this choice is just too difficult; even I wouldn't know what to do. I feel a bit bad for Brother!] — From Zhang Jingque's inner thoughts.

--

In the blink of an eye, Friday arrived.

Yang Tian was wandering in his dreams when a sudden, loud knocking woke him up.

Zhang Jingque pushed open the door and entered the room, carrying a set of Assistant Police Officer ceremonial uniforms that the County Bureau had temporarily custom-made for Yang Tian. She shouted breathlessly, "Brother Tianshen, it's time to get up!"

Yang Tian slowly sat up from the bed and asked, "What time is it??"

"Six o'clock."

"That's still early, no rush!"

"It's very urgent! Didn't you promise the Municipal Bureau you'd reach the event hall by eight? It takes over an hour to get there from Yu City!"

As Zhang Jingque spoke, she pulled the blanket off Yang Tian.

The next second.

Her gaze froze between Yang Tian's legs.

When she snapped out of it, she immediately turned around in embarrassment and said to Yang Tian bashfully, "I've already bought breakfast. Get dressed and wash up quickly, I'll wait for you downstairs."

After saying that, she immediately walked out of the room.

–

On the road to Qianzhou.

The Qianzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Office Director of the Qianzhou Municipal Committee and Municipal Government called respectively to ask about Yang Tian's progress.

Yang Tian's answer was uniform: he said he was on the road.

When the car left the highway and entered the Qianzhou urban area.

Zhang Jingque, who was driving, couldn't help but glance at Yang Tian in the passenger seat.

"Are you sure you're going to the Municipal Bureau's event hall for the first-class merit ceremony?"

Yang Tian: "It's not that I'm sure, it's what I got from drawing lots."

Zhang Jingque couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother Tianshen, does making a choice this way make you feel much less guilty?"

"Not at all! To be honest, instead of attending one event, it would be better not to attend either. That way, at least I wouldn't offend either side!"

"Giggle giggle."

Zhang Jingque laughed.

"Unless there's a special circumstance for not attending, otherwise you'd offend both sides!"

"I suppose so."

Yang Tian glanced out the car window, and a tall building suddenly appeared in his sight. On the building were six large characters—Qianzhou City Bank.

He couldn't help but mutter, "It would be great if someone robbed a bank right now!"

The words had just left his mouth.

Bang!

A gunshot suddenly rang out outside the window.

Sharp screams immediately erupted all around. All the vehicles on the road stopped, and drivers began looking around to determine the source of the sound.

Meanwhile, the crowds walking on both sides of the road looked toward Qianzhou City Bank in horror.

Yang Tian also immediately looked toward the entrance of the City Bank, and then he saw a group of masked criminals quickly get out of a van and rush into the bank with guns.

"No way! Someone's actually robbing the bank??"

Zhang Jingque looked at Yang Tian in shock.

"How could that be fake! Take cover! Call the police immediately!"

After Yang Tian finished speaking, he pushed open the car door and ran directly toward the City Bank.

"Be careful, Brother Tianshen!"

After Zhang Jingque spoke, she looked at his departing back and scratched her head in confusion. "Why does it feel like he's actually a bit excited?"

Bang!

As another gunshot rang out from inside the bank, Zhang Jingque quickly parked the car and dialed 110.

"Is this 110? I am a Police Officer from the Yucheng Police Station, I want to report a crime!"

"At 80 Wenqing Road, Qianzhou City Bank may be undergoing a robbery. Please send SWAT units for support immediately!"

"Command center received!"

–

At the entrance of a shop near the City Bank.

Yang Tian found a piece of cover to hide himself.

Then he immediately activated the skill [Domain Search].

He tried to locate the current positions of the criminals by identifying their gazes.

"Search complete."

The next second, the locations of the five criminals all appeared on the map in his mind.

Three of them were armed with guns, and two were holding daggers. Among the three armed with guns, one was holding an AK47, while the other two were holding USP pistols.

The criminal with the AK47 was guarding the entrance of the bank lobby. The two criminals with pistols were located at the counter and the bank's back door respectively. The other two criminals with daggers were holding bags and frantically scooping up cash from behind the counter.

"They dare to rob a bank with just this setup??"

Yang Tian stood up. Just as he was about to rush into the bank, Zhang Jingque's phone call came through.

"Brother Tianshen, where are you?"

"I'm at the entrance of Meiyijia."

"Wait for me there, I'm coming over right now."

"What are you coming over for..."

Doo-doo-doo...

Before he could finish, Zhang Jingque had already hung up the phone. He had no choice but to return to his original spot.

A moment later, Zhang Jingque ran over hunched low.

The two of them were less than fifty meters away from the bank.

If they were spotted by the criminal with the AK47 guarding the door, they would surely be riddled with bullets.

"What did you come here for??" Yang Tian asked.

"I came to support you!" Zhang Jingque spoke tough words, but her body couldn't help but tremble.

Yang Tian gave her a stern look. "You staying here properly counts as supporting me."

He was about to get up after speaking, but was pulled back by Zhang Jingque.

"Don't go, they have guns!"

Zhang Jingque looked at Yang Tian with a face full of nervousness.

"The Qianzhou SWAT is already on the way. We can't act rashly without any equipment."

"There's no time!"

Yang Tian immediately stood up, and before Zhang Jingque could react, he charged toward the bank.
