Chapter 160: The Main Feature Begins!

Zhou Yun's words once again made the atmosphere inside the car subtle.

Hearing this, Chen Xiong's expression became even more complicated: "My god... then what is the situation over there now?"

Zhou Yun shook his head:

"I don't know, but I feel that he should be fine for the time being. Otherwise, the authorities wouldn't have ordered a retreat... Since they gave up on a frontal assault, it proves that they are very afraid of the secret Chu Chen holds."

"If I'm not mistaken, this secret is definitely a very weighty bargaining chip..."

While they were talking, Zhuang Yan, who was sitting in the back row, had not spoken at all.

She had been slowly digesting this matter in her heart the whole time.

It wasn't until Chen Xiong turned his head to ask for her opinion that she pulled herself out of her thoughts.

The next second, she said:

"I think the same as Team Captain; he should be fine for now. However, the development of the situation is not yet clear, and no one knows how long this bargaining chip can protect him. Perhaps in the next second, both sides might tear off the mask..."

"But based on my understanding of him, since he chose to implement this plan, even if some accident really occurred, he should have corresponding countermeasures. This is not a difficult task for someone like him. There is only one thing I can't figure out right now..."

"What is it?" Hearing this, Chen Xiong asked.

Zhuang Yan answered while thinking:

"The content of this video definitely doesn't stop here; there is likely a follow-up. This follow-up is the truth and the key to the whole matter. What I can't figure out is what kind of truth would make the authorities retreat again and again, to the point where they would even abandon hostages?"

This question once again caused the several Pursuit Captains to fall into deep thought.

The question she raised was indeed the key to this matter!

If they could find some clues from it, they would certainly be able to clear up the context of this event.

But for now, relying only on the clues they and the Expert Group had, they could not reach the core of this matter at all.

Following that, Zhuang Yan continued:

"Besides, gold is not like banknotes. Even if they managed to seize it, they probably wouldn't be able to transport it away, right? Since that's the case, why would the authorities be in such a rush? What exactly are they afraid of? Why don't they dare to fight a war of attrition with him? Do they care about the gold, or do they care about that video?"

"There are too many suspicious things here. There must be some details we don't know that are fueling the whole situation. Perhaps only by knowing the follow-up to the video can all these questions be solved..."

The two questions raised by Zhuang Yan were also what many people were confused about!

At this very moment, many comments in the live stream were discussing this matter!

Some people said that the follow-up to the video might record the authorities' crimes of war profiteering.

Others said it was definitely not as simple as war profiteering; there must be other inside stories!

Otherwise, the authorities would certainly not be so obedient, retreating just because they were told to.

【Ahhh! My brain is growing!】

【It's too complicated; the things in here have already exceeded my range of cognition!】

【It must involve too much!】

【I don't care about those things, I only care about that gold. Is anyone in the live stream at the scene? If you really pick up some gold, can you bring back a piece for me? Just send it cash on delivery! I'll pay for the shipping!】

【The guy above, you're thinking the same as me!】

【Shipping is nothing? I'll reimburse your round-trip airfare!】

【Reimbursing airfare is nothing? I'll charter a plane for you directly!】

【Good grief, you guys, I could hear your scheming all the way in Jiangzhou!】

【I really can't watch this anymore. Can you not insult the intelligence of the viewers?! They really aren't stupid!】

【Talent has always come from the comments!】

【Haha!】

In the live stream, there was much discussion.

At the same time!

Switzerland, Zurich, Swiss National Bank!

Time ticked away second by second.

As the water level rose, the welding work quickly entered a white-hot stage!

At this moment, the river water in the vault had already submerged the middle-aged welder's neck!

After a period of effort, he had already completed three-quarters of the entire welding task, and was only one step away from final success!

But at this final juncture, his movements suddenly slowed down.

Because the usable space was too small, many of his actions were restricted.

Secondly, in order to keep breathing, he could only tilt his head back while working, desperately breathing the little oxygen left in the space.

This posture made him very uncomfortable, and as a result, his efficiency was naturally greatly reduced.

However, relying on his superb skills and the pressure of his life being at stake, he still forcibly overcame this difficulty. Before the river water submerged his head, he completed the welding of the Decompression Chamber and climbed out from inside.

When he came out, Chu Chen had already distributed the Diving equipment prepared in advance to the hostages.

"Their task is finished, now it's your turn. Your task is very simple: take all the gold inside, then use the freight elevator to transport it to the warehouse, and then hand it over to them. I need you to complete this task within 24 hours. No overtime, no hiding anything. How about it, do you all understand?"

The hostages dared not disobey and nodded like pounding garlic.

After explaining their task, Chu Chen walked straight to the side of the three welders.

At this moment, the middle-aged man from before had not yet recovered from his narrow escape from death; he was soaked from head to toe, panting heavily.

"Follow me."

Under Chu Chen's lead, the four of them went straight along the elevator to the warehouse.

Right now, this place had been completely transformed by Chu Chen into a small gold-melting workshop!

At the very front were many spray guns and crucibles the size of washbasins.

Next to them stood three large buckets filled with Water.

Each bucket had an inlet and an outlet.

The water inlet is connected to a faucet equipped with an automatic start-stop device.

When the water level inside the bucket drops below a certain mark, it will automatically fill with Water.

The water outlet is connected to a transparent plastic pipe that leads directly to the bottom of the water pump, while the pipe on the water pump extends all the way to the sewer in the distance.

Looking at the scene before them, the three welders were completely stunned.

As he walked, Chu Chen introduced the plan to them: "Molten gold, when poured into Water, will turn into gold beads. A high-power water pump can directly draw these gold beads out of the bucket, sending them in a continuous stream into the sewer to be dispersed to every corner of the city. What you need to do is use this method to transport all the gold out of the bank within 24 hours..."
