Chapter 267

"Han Team, why don't you let me try?"

After hearing Xu Mo's words, Han Fei stared blankly at Xu Mo.

He immediately refused, saying, "No. Your talent is indeed great, but you've only dealt with pistols; you've never even laid a hand on a sniper rifle. No matter how gifted you are, you can't take that risk. Right now there's no time for you to practice shooting; if you miss… no one can bear that responsibility."

Although sniper rifles and pistols are both guns, they're completely different concepts!

Han Fei doesn't want to take risks.

Xu Mo shook his head.

"I don't mean that. What I mean is that I go in to negotiate with the robber; I think I can handle it."

Han Fei misinterpreted Xu Mo's meaning.

He thought Xu Mo wanted to act as the sniper.

But Xu Mo never thought that way at all.

Although he has Absolute Gun Sense and knows every kind of gun, he can hit a brow without ever hitting an eye.

But that said, Xu Mo can at most practice at a range; actually firing at a person, even knowing the target is a dangerous individual, he cannot overcome that mental hurdle in an instant.

Therefore, Xu Mo never intended from the start to temporarily replace the sniper; he wanted to go in and negotiate with the robber!

He is proficient in Psychology Knowledge and also knows Hypnosis Technique; with these two skills, dealing with a robber is more than enough.

Besides that, Xu Mo's physical skill is also quite good.

Even if Psychology Knowledge and Hypnosis Technique have no effect on the robber.

As long as he gets a chance to get close to the robber, he can instantly subdue him, preventing both his own injury and the robber's harm to others.

"You go in to negotiate with the robber?" Han Fei's expression was somewhat odd, as if considering the feasibility.

Seeing Han Fei's expression, Xu Mo continued.

"Han Team, trust me, I'm confident I can persuade this robber to lay down his weapon and surrender."

The words immediately caused a stir.

Whether Han Fei believes Xu Mo has that ability or not, none of the officers believe it.

Let the robber lay down his weapon and surrender?

What kind of international joke is this? Surrender? Unless the robber is mentally ill!

Xu Mo is bragging way too much!

Unlike the officers, Han Fei, upon hearing Xu Mo say that, immediately recalled the scene back in Jiangcheng when Xu Mo settled that stubborn criminal with just two sentences.

At that time, Xu Mo used only two sentences, and the stubborn criminal, like beans spilling, recounted his entire crime in detail.

Although the story sounds a bit far-fetched, Han Fei believes Xu Mo has a certain talent for communicating with criminals.

Maybe Xu Mo can indeed, as he says, make this robber honestly lay down his knife and surrender!

"This robber is holding a knife, and he's already stabbed someone; his emotions are highly unstable," Han Fei hesitated, wondering whether to let Xu Mo go in to negotiate: "If the talk breaks down, he could hurt anyone at any moment, or even stab you with the knife."

"Han Team, aren't you aware of my skill?" Xu Mo said with a smile.

As long as he can get within a certain distance of the robber, the robber cannot hurt anyone under his watch, let alone hurt him.

On this point, Xu Mo remains very confident.

Han Fei's complexion suddenly turned somewhat unnatural.

Xu Mo's skill... I've witnessed it!

The Great Bidding Device Xu Mo gave him back then is still fresh in his memory...

Thinking of that, he had no reservations.

He decided to let Xu Mo go in to negotiate: "Then you go, and be sure to be careful."

At present, without a Negotiation Expert, Xu Mo indeed is the most suitable candidate to negotiate with the robber.

First, Xu Mo has a talent for communicating with criminals, even stronger than that of most officers; this was evident from his interrogation of a criminal in Jiangcheng.

Although Xu Mo might still fail in negotiations, letting others go in would only increase the chance of failure.

Second, Xu Mo's skill is excellent; if the robber loses control, he can handle it, at least ensuring Xu Mo himself won't be injured.

After agreeing to let Xu Mo go in, Han Fei activated the Megaphone again and shouted into the bank.

"Our Negotiation Expert is going in right now; don't get agitated, and don't take any extreme actions. Everything can be settled, okay?"

Accompanied by Han Fei's voice coming through the Megaphone.

Xu Mo walked toward the bank's main entrance.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Mo patted his pockets before entering the bank.

Using his pocket as a cover, he pulled four Gold Bars out of the System Space.

In the sunlight, the four gleaming Gold Bars were especially dazzling.

The officers: "???"

They could not even believe their own eyes.

Before Xu Mo went in to negotiate, he also pulled out… Gold Bars!?

He has Gold Bars on his person??

What a lunatic!

The moment Xu Mo stepped through the bank's doors, the hostage‑taking robber inside shouted loudly.

"Don't move, just stand at the doorway and keep your hands where I can see them!"

Xu Mo cooperated fully and raised both hands.

In each hand he held two Gold Bars, and a corner of each bar was exposed.

"Don't worry, I'm only here to negotiate, I mean no harm; may I raise my hands?"

Seeing the glittering thing in Xu Mo's hands, the robber was a bit stunned.

What are you holding in your hand?

"Gold Bar.", Xu Mo answered truthfully.

Robber: "???"

Xu Mo slowly spread his clasped hands, pinching the gold bar with his thumbs, presenting the gold bar to the robber to the fullest extent.

"This is specially prepared for you, four in total, worth over 1.5 million, this is much easier to take than robbing cash, we are sincere, as long as you don't hurt anyone, everything can be discussed……"

The robber's breathing became rapid.

He came to rob, plainly just seeking wealth.

But robbing cash is risky: first, it's too heavy to carry; second, cash has serial numbers, making it hard to spend after stealing.

But gold bars are different: they're light, small in size, very easy to carry.

Gold bars can also be melted; after melting, who would know this lump of gold was once a bar?

Moreover, gold is hard currency; even if its origin is unclear, many people dare to accept it, so there's no worry about liquidating it.

At this moment, the robber stared unblinkingly at the gold bar in Xu Mo's hand.

From the luster of the gold bar in Xu Mo's hand, one could tell that the gold bar he held was very likely genuine.

But the robber still had doubts: "How do I know your gold bar is real or fake? What if it's just iron dyed? You wouldn't be trying to trick me, would you?"

"This is easy to prove; listen: if it were iron, you could tell by the sound.", Xu Mo said.

The next second, Xu Mo slowly lowered his raised hand and flipped the gold bar twice in his hand.

Gold's density is high; the sound when struck together is very dull, differing from most metals, making it easy to distinguish.

The two gold bars in his right hand moved up and down in Xu Mo's hand, emitting a dull sound on impact; the robber's eyes followed the bars' motion, filled with greed.

However, Xu Mo's intention was not to prove to the robber that the gold bar in his hand was genuine, but to employ hypnosis…

Xu Mo is now using the hypnosis technique from the system reward; through hypnosis, using psychological suggestion, he aims to make the robber put down his weapons and voluntarily go out to surrender!
