Chapter 111: The Bomb Is Fake

~7 min read 1,238 words

They watched helplessly as the crowd outside the door dispersed.

The people trapped inside the bank couldn't have been more distressed.

The mastermind was the person who just spoke.

If he hadn't been shouting nonsense, everyone could have escaped by now.

At this moment, everyone had only one thought.

That was to find that noisy bastard and beat him up.

Even if they were blown to pieces by a bomb later.

They still had to beat that son of a bitch before being blown up, just to vent their anger!

At that moment, a muscular man turned around.

He stared at a man in black standing behind him.

"The voice just now seemed to come from behind me—was it you shouting?"

The man in black hurriedly shook his head to deny it.

"It wasn't me! It wasn't me!"

It was fine when he stayed silent.

The moment he opened his mouth, his lie was exposed.

Several people nearby pointed at him and said at that moment.

"It's this kid, that was the voice just now!"

"Yeah, yeah, that was his voice, I'm not mistaken."

"Don't listen to his excuses, it was him who shouted!"

"..."

Seeing his excuses fail, the man in black…

…simply pretended to be stupid: "Aba aba aba…"

"How dare you play dumb? If I don't beat the shit out of you today, I'll count you as clean!" the muscular man said, raising his fist to strike.

Besides him, the rest were also rubbing their fists, ready to fight.

They prepared to join the muscular man in teaching that kid a lesson.

However, at that moment.

A faint wail of a police siren reached the crowd's ears.

The urgent siren grew louder, becoming clearer and more piercing.

Hearing the siren,

everyone knew the police would arrive soon.

They now had hope of rescue!

After hearing the siren,

everyone simultaneously chose to let the man in black go.

One by one they pressed their bodies against the glass to look out.

Fortunately, the police arrived in time.

Otherwise that man in black would probably have taken a severe beating.

Amid people's anticipation and hope,

a police car flashing its lights appeared in their sight.

Followed by a second, a third…

"Police officers, help!" the crowd shouted in unison.

The first police car that arrived, upon hearing the cries and seeing the iron rod attached to the bank door,

without a word, slammed the doors open and rushed out.

They pulled the iron rod out from the bank door.

"It's dangerous here, you all get out first!" the officer said.

Hearing that, the trapped people in the bank surged out like a swarm.

As they rushed out, they didn't forget to thank the officer.

The later‑arriving officers immediately evacuated everyone nearby and set up a perimeter.

Fearing the bomb might explode and injure people.

At the same time, the police's Bomb Disposal Expert had already changed into an Explosive‑Proof Suit and entered the bank.

He prepared to defuse the Timed Bomb that Xu Mo had left.

Before defusing, he needed to observe.

The Bomb Disposal Expert must determine which wire to cut to stop the bomb's timer.

This process cannot afford any mistake.

Otherwise, the bomb will explode instantly.

After carefully examining the Timed Bomb Xu Mo left,

the Bomb Disposal Expert was stunned.

"This damn… isn't a Timed Bomb!"

At least he didn't think it was a Timed Bomb.

The wires of a Timed Bomb are always arranged with purpose.

They would never be so chaotic.

There's only one possibility—this bomb is fake!

Through the Bomb Disposal Expert's Earpiece came the voice of the operation commander.

"How's it going, can you handle the bomb?"

"This is not a Timed Bomb at all," the Bomb Disposal Expert said, "It's fake."

The commander was slightly taken aback.

"Fake? Are you sure?"

Hearing that.

The Bomb Disposal Expert became a little unsettled.

"No nonsense—I'm a professional, this is fake... but just in case, I'll disarm this thing and take it out for you to see."

Bomb Disposal Experts are, of course, professional.

And extremely professional.

Take this Bomb Disposal Expert as an example.

He has been in the field all this time and has never missed a single time.

That fact is evident from the fact that he can still go out on missions now.

Because he determined the Timed Bomb was fake.

So the Bomb Disposal Expert, in a flash, disassembled the Timed Bomb.

Just as he had guessed.

The Timed Bomb was indeed fake.

The outer black shell with wires, including the timer on the box, were merely intimidation decorations.

Although trying to fool a professional like him with this thing is somewhat unrealistic.

But using it to hoodwink ordinary people is far too easy.

After all, ordinary people have never seen a real bomb.

Opening the decorative shell meant to scare people.

Inside, there were two items.

A slab used to add weight.

A seemingly very cheap electronic alarm clock.

"It's opened, indeed not a bomb, I'm heading out now," after saying that, the Bomb Disposal Expert took the slab in his left hand, the black shell and the alarm clock in his right, and turned to leave the bank.

A false alarm.

Everyone who took part in the operation collectively let out a sigh of relief.

Glad it wasn't a real bomb!

It seems this time, Wang Ju was overthinking.

At first, Wang Ju, because Xu Mo's bank‑robbing technique was so skillful, thought Xu Mo might be a repeat offender.

He even thought that the name Xu Mo itself could be fake.

Xu Mo's original name could very well be Zhang San.

That Zhang San of the Lawless Rogue!

What he left behind could also very well be a real bomb.

To be safe, they had the Bomb Disposal Expert accompany the response.

But now, looking at it.

It turns out Wang Ju's guess was wrong; Xu Mo is not a Lawless Rogue.

At the very least, the bomb he left was fake.

He probably left that bomb merely to stall the Police.

…

At this moment, the big boss who wanted to test the bank's security was watching the live stream.

He had said before.

His original intention was to use Xu Mo to test the bank's security.

If this test uncovered any security flaws, they could be improved.

To prevent actual criminals from successfully robbing the bank in the future.

But what he didn't expect was.

If you don't test you don't know; once you test, you're startled.

In front of Xu Mo, what security does the bank even have?

It's all damn loopholes!

Everywhere there are gaps to squeeze through!

Xu Mo exploited every exploitable loophole and gap.

In the end, he even succeeded in stealing seventy kilograms of Gold Bar worth over 26 million.

And he did it with the bank's little handcart, swaggering it out.

When entering the bank.

Xu Mo entered with just a bag, but came out pushing a handcart loaded with Gold Bar.

Oh right, he was also driving a car he grabbed on the spot.

At the start, three people, one bag each, all gear obtained by looting.

…

Outside the bank.

From the moment Xu Mo placed the Timed Bomb until now, exactly twenty minutes have passed.

The electronic alarm clock in the Bomb Disposal Expert's hand suddenly rang.

This familiar melody is the Canon…
