"Hehe, looks like this otaku has taken a liking to our Miss Ling!" Zhou Yuyan covered her mouth and giggled merrily!

Ling Shuya was already very annoyed, being pestered by an otaku, and now, hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, she immediately became even more irritated, especially since Zhou Yuyan even seemed to be taking pleasure in her misfortune by laughing!

"You're laughing, you dare to laugh!" Ling Shuya immediately stomped over to Zhou Yuyan and went to 'deal' with her.

Ling Shuya's way of dealing with Zhou Yuyan, naturally, wasn't to resort to hitting, but to tickle her!

Many people are ticklish, and Zhou Yuyan was particularly susceptible to it. Therefore, once she was under attack by Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan immediately started dodging, resulting in the two stunning beauties chasing and frolicking in this cramped space!

As if they were oblivious to anyone else around them!

Ye Xiao was quite accustomed to their antics, but other people had different reactions to these two stunning beauties!

If it had been anyone else, frolicking like that in a public place would definitely attract criticism, but now, with Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan horsing around, hardly anyone felt it was out of place. Instead, everyone was entranced by the sight, although, of course, not everyone—some, particularly women, looked on with disapproval.

As for the rest? They watched with barely concealed delight, especially an old man with white hair, who didn't dare look directly for fear of being called indecent, sneaking peeks and thoroughly enjoying the show!

Ye Xiao was quite disheartened—at least, to others, it would seem Ye Xiao was completely disheartened now!

Ye Xiao totally ignored the two women's cheerful ruckus, instead turned to the beauties and said, "Hey, can we wait a second? I have something I need to ask about!"

At that moment, Zhou Yuyan was pleading for mercy as well, and Ling Shuya finally let her go. She turned to Ye Xiao and asked, "What?"

"I actually have no problem with you giving that incredibly handsome guy your phone number, but..." Ye Xiao said, sighing deeply.

Ling Shuya hadn't even spoken when Zhou Yuyan expressed her puzzlement. She hadn't heard clearly what number Ling Shuya had given, so when Ye Xiao asked, she immediately said, "What's wrong? Didn't you send him packing?"

"I did send him packing, but my question is, why give out my phone number?" Ye Xiao looked at Ling Shuya!

Ling Shuya was slightly surprised when she heard what Ye Xiao said because even she wasn't sure if she had said the number clearly, and now Ye Xiao had heard it too!

Indeed, the number Ling Shuya had offhandedly given out was Ye Xiao's phone number—she had said it without thinking!

"Ah?" Zhou Yuyan looked at Ling Shuya right after hearing Ye Xiao's words, then let out a wry smile, "Shuya, can you not joke like that, please? I truly can't imagine that otaku, full of passion, calling in and feeling joy because the number isn't a dead line. But in the end, the voice on the other end is a man. Who knows how he would react?"

Ling Shuya couldn't help but laugh when she heard Zhou Yuyan's words!

"Keep it down, you're the center of attention now!" Ye Xiao suddenly reminded.

Ling Shuya looked up and noticed indeed many people were watching them. She quickly closed her mouth!

Ye Xiao, Ling Shuya, and Zhou Yuyan moved to one side and began to converse in whispers, not daring to speak loudly because, after all, this was a public space and it was not good to attract too much attention.

Although Ye Xiao had obtained the 1120 ticket, he still waited another six or seven minutes until the system formally announced, "Number 1120, please proceed to Window 1 for service!"

Ye Xiao was about to head to Window 1 when, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a silver-white minivan pulling up to the entrance. The minivan looked like it had seen better days.

Seeing a minivan was pretty normal and shouldn't have stopped Ye Xiao from going on with his business. But just then, Ye Xiao realized something was off when the minivan's door slid open and four burly men jumped out, each with a distinctive sock over their head and a submachine gun in hand!

What?

Having seen this, Ye Xiao immediately realized something was amiss. Could this be a bank robbery in the making? No sooner had the four burly men alighted from the minivan than they dashed towards the bank in haste!

The bank was not small by any means and had two entrances. Thus, the four men, each brandishing a submachine gun, split into two groups and charged into the bank at breakneck speed, one group at each entrance!

The second before those bandits entered the bank, Ye Xiao immediately wrapped his hands around the necks of the two beauties beside him, pulling them down to crouch without waiting for their reactions!

Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan had no idea what was happening, so when they felt Ye Xiao push them down, they immediately looked at him with widened eyes, their mouths open to ask what was going on, but at that moment, ear-piercing gunshots rang out from the front and rear entrances of the bank!

With a flurry of gunshots, at least four or five people were shot dead on the spot, including two security personnel inside the bank.

Instantly, there was a wave of screams throughout the bank, and some, terrified and possibly out of their minds, tried to run out of the bank. But before they could take two steps, a burly man shot them down!

Cries and shouts became the only melody within the bank at that moment!

And absurdly, during this very moment, the bank's system was still announcing, "Please, number 1120, proceed to window 1 for service!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several more shots rang out in succession, and all the cameras in the bank were blasted to pieces!

These big guys obviously had a good understanding of the layout of the bank's cameras or rather, they had definitely cased the joint beforehand!

"Shut your damn mouths, or the bullets won't," the leader of the gang bellowed arrogantly. Although his face was obscured by a stocking and couldn't be clearly seen, at least from his arrogant outline, it was evident that he seemed to find some semblance of human dignity at that moment!

Immediately, those who were either withdrawing or depositing money crouched on the ground, each shaking with fear, clearly terrified!

Two of the four bandits held guns on the people crouching on the ground, while the other two began to get to work!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Another burst of automatic fire shattered the tempered glass windows, and the agility of the two bandits was truly remarkable as they jumped over the counter with submachine guns. The bank employees were so frightened that they almost scurried under the desks!

Of the bank's five employees, three were fresh college graduates, young and attractive. Therefore, when one of the bandits saw them, he immediately leered, reaching out to grope the chest of one of the female employees!

The female employee, probably in her early twenties, tried to dodge when the bandit attempted to touch her. But he wasn't about to waste any time: he fired two shots into the ceiling, scaring the female employee nearly to the point of fainting. Then, in tears, she let the bandit grab at her chest without daring to make a sound!

Life was more important than a little humiliation!

"San, what the hell are you doing? Hurry up and bag the money, did you come here to visit a brothel?" the gang leader shouted at the young man!

Hearing his boss's words, San chuckled and pointed his gun at the female employee, ordering, "Fucking pack the money, and if you want to die, you can choose not to or do it slowly!"

The female employee, trembling with fear, hurriedly did as San said, hastily bagging money for the bandits!

It was around 11:30 AM, and the bank had quite a substantial amount of money collected from the morning. In less than two minutes, half a bag was filled. However, at that moment, San spotted a safe and immediately walked over to it!

If these bandits were only after the money, it would have been simple. But just then, a beautiful little girl around twelve years old in the crowd probably overwhelmed with shock, suddenly burst into tears!

Ah?

Almost everyone turned to look at the crying little girl. Her father was instantly horrified and covered her mouth, but then, the gang leader pointed his gun at the little girl's head!

"Heh heh, such a lovely little girl, but a pity, she's too disobedient, so she's got to die!" the bandit said, about to pull the trigger, but just then, a clear, bell-like voice suddenly rang out!

"Stop it, she's just scared! Are you really going to kill a child?"

When this person spoke, everyone was startled, including the bandit, who was incredibly surprised, as nobody expected anyone to dare speak up at this time!

Especially the gang leader, who looked astounded at the speaker—it was a girl, and an exceptionally beautiful one at that, even fresher and more delicate than some top female celebrities, though she appeared quite young, only about fifteen or sixteen!

At this time, Ye Xiao, Ling Shuya, and Zhou Yuyan, all crouched down, turned to look at the girl who spoke. Yet, when Ye Xiao looked over, his face showed surprise. He recognized this girl—her name was Zhao Xiaoxiao, and she was Zhao Dapeng's sister!
