657: Chapter 653: Sudden Bank Robbery 657: Chapter 653: Sudden Bank Robbery The next morning, Ye Fan slept in a daze when, with a turn, he suddenly felt his body suspended in the air.
By reflex, he leaped and landed back on the sofa.
Standing firm on the sofa, Ye Fan opened his eyes and realized he was actually in the living room.
“Hey, why did I sleep here last night?” Ye Fan muttered to himself.
After thinking about it, he suddenly rembered that he had drunk too much while entertaining last night and was brought back to the dorm by Xu Xiangli.
Then he had fallen asleep as the alcohol hit him.
Checking the ti, it was already past seven in the morning, so Ye Fan got off the sofa and went to find so clothes for a shower.
While shampooing his hair in the shower, he faintly rembered resting his head on sothing soft last night and briefly stopped his shampooing.
“Hey, could it be that I really got drunk last night?
Xu Xiangli wouldn’t do sothing like that.
I must have been really drunk and hallucinated that it was Wei Ziling.”
He shook his head in self-mockery, finding it unlikely, then continued to shampoo his hair.
After showering and getting dressed, Ye Fan cooked a simple noodle dish for breakfast and then went to work.
As he was leaving the dorm, he ran into Xu Xiangli coming down from the upstairs.
“Director Ye, good morning,” Xu Xiangli greeted with a sweet smile and bright eyes.
Ye Fan smiled and nodded, closed the door behind him, and then walked downstairs with Xu Xiangli.
“There were no problems at the KTV last night?” Ye Fan asked.
Xu Xiangli smiled and said, “Nothing happened, I sent them all ho before eleven-thirty.”
“Okay,” Ye Fan nodded.
Afterward, Xu Xiangli started another topic of casual conversation with Ye Fan, continuing until they reached the office building and stopped chatting.
Around eleven in the morning, Ye Fan finished writing a routine inspection work report and delivered it to Zhao Lina’s office.
When Zhao Lina took the report, she barely gave Ye Fan a glance.
However, Ye Fan didn’t leave right away and cleared his throat, “Director Zhao, I have sothing work-related that I’d like to discuss with you.”
After a few seconds, Zhao Lina lifted her face from the docunts, asking coolly, “What is it?”
“It’s about the work arrangent for the Spring Festival.
I have personal matters and cannot stay, so please don’t schedule any work for during the festival,” Ye Fan said.
“I’ll be on duty next year.”
The Spring Festival was drawing closer, and Ye Fan planned to go ho for it this year.
He hadn’t spent it at ho for the last six years and finally had the chance to do so this year, which he was eager for.
Unlike other governnt departnts, a significant number of police officers cannot leave their posts during the Spring Festival.
In fact, due to the high incidence of societal incidents, they work overti to maintain public order, making it even tougher.
Therefore, during the Spring Festival, at least one of the top two leaders of the police departnt must remain to oversee the entire force.
“Personal matters?
What urgent personal matter would that be?” Zhao Lina asked coldly.
She inexplicably thought of Ye Fan spending the festival affectionately with Li Zhaojun and even accompanying Li Zhaojun to visit her mother’s ho for the New Year.
Ye Fan hadn’t expected Zhao Lina to ask such a question.
Their statuses were roughly equal; did she need to interrogate him about the reason for his leave as if she were a superior questioning a subordinate?
Taken aback for a mont, Ye Fan quickly found an excuse, “I have to attend a conference in Malaysia on the third day of the Lunar New Year.”
The triennial overseas martial arts family reunion had already been set to take place on an island in Malaysia.
A few days ago, his third senior brother, Shen Biancheng, had called him, asking him to prepare for a life-and-death duel with Dong Ziqi.
“What kind of conference?” Zhao Lina pressed on.
Ye Fan frowned slightly and said, “This is a personal privacy matter, I can’t disclose that.”
Zhao Lina imdiately let out a cold huff and said coldly, “You can leave now.”
“Director Zhao, you haven’t answered yet,” Ye Fan said.
Zhao Lina raised her face, her slender, ink-black eyebrows slightly raised, full of ferocity as she stared at Ye Fan with a cold, knife-like gaze.
Seeing this, Ye Fan imdiately knew that Zhao Lina was angry and could only offer a wry smile, saying, “Alright, think it over, I’ve got to get busy.”
After returning to his office and before he could sit down, the landline suddenly rang loudly.
Ye Fan picked it up imdiately.
“Director Ye, it’s terrible, there’s been an ard robbery at the Agricultural Bank on Taiji East Road!” an urgent voice cried over the phone, “The robbers have taken a group of hostages, about thirty people!”
“Fuck!” Ye Fan couldn’t help but curse; despite having tightened security, soone had actually robbed a bank with guns—it was almost New Year’s, and they must have been driven mad by poverty to do such a thing.
He was in charge of the Anti-Riot Brigade, so he was the first to receive the alarm.
Five or six minutes later, Ye Fan arrived at the scene.
The Agricultural Bank was surrounded by ard police and riot officers, their guns ready as the sound of sirens was nonstop.
Outside of the police cordon, crowds of onlookers had gathered.
Not only had Ye Fan arrived, but Zhao Lina had also hurried over soon after.
With such a significant incident, it wasn’t just the top two officials at the police station that rushed to the scene; even the county Party Secretary and the County Head were on their way over.
Ye Fan looked at the bank’s hall with binoculars and quickly turned to Zhao Lina, “There are five of them, all wearing black masks, ard with three homade pistols, a controlled knife twenty centiters long, and a dagger.”
“Additionally, from their movents, they don’t seem to be seasoned criminals; it looks like it’s their first bank robbery, and they’re quite impulsive.”
Zhao Lina’s pretty face turned serious as she said, “That’s even more dangerous.
It’s very easy for hostages to get hurt.”
“Yeah.
Let stabilize them first,” Ye Fan said.
After speaking, he grabbed a gaphone, stepped forward four or five paces, and shouted into the bank hall using the gaphone, “Listen up inside, we will fulfill whatever you need, but please, do not hurt the hostages.”
The five robbers, clearly inexperienced, panicked and demanded a car and more money, much like in the movies.
Following the principle that the lives of the people are of utmost importance, Ye Fan and Zhao Lina imdiately t the robbers’ demands.
“Who the fuck is the County Head?
Get your ass out here!” one of the robbers, with a homade pistol pressed against the head of a female hostage, shouted from the doorway.
Wei Qingxiong, the County Head, blanched at the words, realizing that the gang of robbers clearly wanted to take him as a hostage for their escape.
Wei Qingxiong turned his head towards Ye Fan and Zhao Lina in a panic, his eyes pleading.
Ye Fan said, “County Head Wei, please don’t go out.”
Saying this, Ye Fan imdiately walked towards the bank’s entrance, raised his hands, and called out, “The County Head has gone to the city for a eting; he’s not here.
I am the Deputy Director of the Police Departnt, I’ll be your hostage.”
He wasn’t afraid of guns at all; once he got close to the robbers, he could easily subdue them.
The robber, seeing Ye Fan’s tall stature and that he was the Deputy Director of the Police Departnt, dared not take Ye Fan as a hostage and imdiately yelled hoarsely, “Get back!
Get back!
Take one more step forward, and I’ll blow her brains out!”
Seeing the robber highly agitated, Ye Fan could only reluctantly fall back.
As soon as Ye Fan retreated, Zhao Lina stepped forward; Ye Fan tried to stop her, but it was too late.
“I am the Director of the Police Departnt, can I be your hostage then?” Zhao Lina asked, raising her hands and walking towards the bank’s entrance.
The robber, seeing that Zhao Lina was a woman, although dressed in a police uniform, was actually a very pretty young woman, especially with very large breasts, hesitated before yelling at her, “You, hurry the fuck up and get over here!”
