Chapter 100: Program Crew Leaks Information
The camera was covered.
The Live Broadcast Room was pitch black.
The Water Friends couldn't see anything.
Only the splashing water sound from the bathroom could be heard.
The Water Friends were all complaining that Xu Mo was eating alone.
Not sharing the meat with them was already bad enough.
The key point is, they weren't even given a sip of soup?
Isn't this a bit unreasonable?
"Brothers, I'm done."
"?? What are you saying? What do you mean 'done'?"
"Brother, you're awesome, this can even be rushed??"
……
In the restroom.
Xu Mo, Yang Jingxuan, Zhou Qiaoqiao, the three gathered together.
Their voices were very low.
Moreover, there was the splashing water sound in the restroom.
So, the Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room, as well as the Program Crew, couldn't hear their discussion.
"Are you planning to make a show in the east while attacking in the west?" Yang Jingxuan looked at Xu Mo and said, "You say you want to rob the cash transport vehicle, but actually you plan to rob the gold bars in the bank?"
Xu Mo nodded.
"I don't trust the Program Crew; they couldn't possibly just watch me take something worth more than their budget allows. Once they notice that, to control the budget, they'll definitely tip off the Investigation Team. Of course I won't go rob the cash transport vehicle—I'm just saying this for the Program Crew to hear."
"If they think I'm going to rob the cash transport vehicle, they'll definitely focus on it, thereby neglecting the bank, which would be beneficial for our next action of robbing gold bars from the bank."
"Besides, stealing cash is too troublesome, and having too much is inconvenient to carry; gold bars are solid, a kilogram of gold bar..."
Saying this, Xu Mo paused, gesturing with his hand.
"This big, I checked today's gold price for the bank's investment gold bars—about 380 per gram."
"A one-kilogram gold bar is worth 380,000; compared to cash, gold of equal value has a smaller volume, higher value, is easier to carry, and is valuable."
"The Program Crew isn't transferring cash, trying to trick us? Fine, I won't rob cash—I'll rob the more valuable gold bars!"
"What if... the Program Crew transfers cash while also moving the gold bars?" Zhou Qiaoqiao asked.
"There is that possibility." Xu Mo nodded: "If you hack into the surveillance system and check whether the gold bars are still there, you'll know. As for gold bars, the bank will definitely place them where surveillance can see them to ensure safety."
Hearing that, Zhou Qiaoqiao suddenly felt enlightened.
"I'll go get the computer."
Zhou Qiaoqiao took off her shoes.
Barefoot, she stepped on the floor.
Without making a sound, she brought the computer placed outside into the restroom.
She placed the computer on the sink.
She began operating it.
Not long after, she had infiltrated a bank's surveillance system.
"The gold bars really haven't been moved!" Zhou Qiaoqiao excitedly pointed at the computer screen.
After glancing at the computer screen, Xu Mo also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems the Program Crew still overlooked something.
They only transferred the bank's cash reserves.
As for the gold bars, they remained completely untouched.
Since the gold bars are still there, then next.
What Xu Mo needs to figure out is how to rob the gold bars from the bank and get away safely.
At that moment, Yang Jingxuan reached out and tugged at Xu Mo's shirt corner.
"I just thought, if you want to sell the bank's gold bars, you also need to bring the certificate; besides, the Program Crew never said stealing gold bars was allowed—what if they renege?"
It must be said.
Although Yang Jingxuan is a hostage, she really has widened the path.
How is this like a hostage?
She's practically a thoughtful little padded jacket for the bandits.
A hostage like her, who wholeheartedly thinks for the bandits, is hard to find!
As soon as Yang Jingxuan finished speaking, Xu Mo calmly said.
"The Program Crew also didn't say stealing gold bars is forbidden; I only have one agreement with them: no matter how much I rob, it's all mine."
"So the matter of the bank gold bar certificate will definitely be handled by the Program Crew."
"Besides, robbing cash is robbery, robbing gold bars is robbery—after all, it's all robbing the bank; whatever you rob, it's robbery. As long as it's taken from the bank, it's mine."
Yang Jingxuan remained silent for two seconds, then she became excited.
"... How about, instead, abduct two tellers as wives?"
Xu Mo: "???"
Zhou Qiaoqiao: "???"
Good fellow.
This hostage role is played well.
The gang is kidnapping two bank tellers to bring them back as wives!?
Those who know know that Yang Jingxuan is a hostage.
Those who don't know still think she's a kidnapper too!
After all, which hostage would be so excited as to suggest to the kidnappers to take two more?
This is truly outrageous—damn, opening the door is outrageous, it's outrageous to the core!
Of course, Xu Mo isn't planning to snatch any teller.
In his view, Gold Bars are more solid.
But he isn't planning to take too much.
He just thinks taking a little is enough.
"A 1‑kilogram Gold Bar isn't that big; we don't need to take that many, just take a few—say three to fifty—and that'll be enough," Xu Mo said.
The bank's Investment Gold Bar is about 380 per gram.
A 1‑kilogram Gold Bar is worth 380,000.
Ten pieces amount to 3,800,000.
Thirty pieces total 11,400,000.
Fifty pieces equal 19,000,000!
What is the weight of 19 million cash?
437 jin.
Just the weight alone is enough to make one's scalp tingle.
And the 19 million cash isn't small in volume either; it's hard to even handle.
Whereas gold of the same 19‑million value…
is far better.
It only weighs 100 jin, and its volume is still small.
Either way, it's far better than robbing cash!
…
Just as Xu Mo expected.
Song Yixue thought for a while, then decided to call the Investigation Team.
These days, to keep an eye on Xu Mo.
Most banks in Hangcheng have little cash reserve in their vaults.
The daily cash needed by these banks is escorted by a Cash Transport Vehicle in turn.
Thus, this Cash Transport Vehicle holds a lot of cash.
If Xu Mo actually snatches this Cash Transport Vehicle, the Program Crew will take a big hit.
"Doo… Doo… Doo…"
The phone was quickly connected.
Song Yixue didn't waste any preamble and got straight to the point.
"Hello, Han Team? Xu Mo intends to rob the Cash Transport Vehicle next."
Han Fei on the other end was startled.
His expression was somewhat unnatural.
What does that imply?
Calling to give us a tip—do they think we're incapable of catching Xu Mo?
Even though they've never managed to catch Xu Mo.
But directly calling to give us a tip is a bit too insulting, isn't it!?
Isn't this an outright contempt?
But as Han Fei was stewing in anger.
Song Yixue spoke again.
"Han Team, please don't misunderstand; I'm not looking down on you. I just want to ask you for a favor—don't let Xu Mo get the Cash Transport Vehicle. Our Program Crew's budget isn't meant to be burned like that… If he actually robs the Cash Transport Vehicle, that would be unacceptable?"
"Also, the guards on the Cash Transport Vehicle are armed with Real Weapons, so they won't be gentle. If Xu Mo gets hurt, that's not good… So, for Xu Mo's safety and for the Program Crew's budget, perhaps your Investigation Team could intervene and stop Xu Mo."
