Check: causing the manager standing before the monitor to be unable to contain his excitement.

By considering the size of the vault space and the release concentration and speed of the liquid nitrogen.

This seems incomplete sentence; maybe missing verb. Chinese: "Through the vault's size and the release concentration and speed of liquid nitrogen." Probably continues to next line. We'll translate as: "Through the vault's size and the release concentration and speed of liquid nitrogen," Keep as is.

The lethal threshold can be calculated.

Translation: "One can calculate the lethal threshold."

Liquid nitrogen release stage:

Translation: "In other words, after 10 minutes, Lin Dongfan and Lao Ba will reach the lethal threshold! By then, even if we open the door and get them out, sending them to the hospital will be too late."

Translation: "\"You ignorant thing, heaven has a path you refuse to take, hell has no gate yet you insist on barging in. \""

"You don't even open your eyes to see—those bigwigs from Haishan's official and business circles, who wouldn't want to kill you? Today I'm sacrificing a pair of glasses, gaining a great merit, which is more than worth it!"

"You don't even open your eyes to see—those bigwigs from Haishan's official and business circles, who wouldn't want to kill you? Today I'm sacrificing a pair of glasses, gaining a great merit, which is more than worth it!"

Manager Qian was so excited he forgot the pain in his eyes.

He dragged a chair over, sat cross-legged in front of the monitor, lit a cigarette contentedly, and waited silently for Lin Dongfan and Lao Ba inside the vault to freeze into corpses.

Translation: "He dragged over a chair, sat cross-legged before the monitor, lit a cigarette contentedly, and waited silently for Lin Dongfan and Lao Ba inside the vault to freeze into corpses."

Zheng Qingxuan hurried over and shouted, "Open the door!" The six bodyguards stationed at the bank entrance, who were Lin Dongfan's men, also followed her inside.

Translation: "\"How did you get here so fast? \" The Manager raised his wrist to look at his watch, smiling incredulously: \"I thought you'd need at least ten or more minutes to arrive. \""

Manager Qian was left stunned by her outburst, unable to understand what mood this young lady was in.

Translation: "The Manager was left dumbfounded by her shouting, unable to understand what tantrum this young lady was throwing."

I have eliminated a major disaster for the Zheng family.

We need to figure who is speaking. Likely Zheng Qingxuan? Actually line 26 appears after line 25, maybe Zheng Qingxuan speaking: "I have removed a major calamity for your Zheng Family." We'll translate: "\"I have eliminated a major calamity for your Zheng Family. \""

Is that also wrong?

Translation: "Is that also wrong?"

Filled with doubts, Manager Qian dared not ask further, hastily shut off the liquid nitrogen valve, then went to open the vault's metal door.

Translation: "The Manager, full of doubts, dared not ask further, hurriedly shut off the liquid nitrogen valve, then went to open the vault's metal door."

There were two alert bodyguards.

Translation: "There were two quick-witted bodyguards."

They quickly took off their black suits and draped them over the shivering Lin Dongfan and Lao Ba.

Translation: "They hurriedly took off their black suits and draped them over the shivering Lin Dongfan and Lao Ba."

"Fortunately, I was just verifying assets in the bank lobby; I got the call and rushed over. If I had been a few minutes later, I could only have sent you to the crematorium."

Translation: "Zheng Qingxuan laughed and cried: \"Fortunately, I was just verifying assets in the bank hall earlier; I got the call and rushed over. If I had been a few minutes late, I could only have sent you to the crematorium. \""

"Thank... thank you... ah-choo!"

Translation: "\"Tha… thanks… ah‑choo! …\""

This terrifying, earth-shattering sneeze seemed to expel most of the cold poison from his body, causing Lin Dongfan's vitality to surge straight upward.

Hearing this, Manager Qian's face turned pale with shock.

Translation: "He hurriedly grabbed Zheng Qingxuan's arm: \"Miss Zheng, what is this?! I've been helping your Zheng Family, why are you now aiding outsiders…\""

Translation: "Zheng Qingxuan flung his arm away angrily, seeing no need to explain further to a clown."

Translation: "The Manager had no chance to struggle; the next second he was shoved into the vault by the bodyguards, his pleading voice frantic and moving: \"Boss Fan, I was wrong, please don't do this to me, I'll die…\""

When the heavy metal door shut, Manager Qian's voice could no longer be heard.

Translation: "As the heavy metal door shut, the Manager's voice could no longer be heard."

Zheng Qingxuan helped Lin Dongfan to Manager Qian's office and gave him a cup of hot water; under the warm flow, his temperature and pulse gradually returned to normal.

Lin Dongfan ordered the vault opened and had Manager Qian dragged out.

At that point, Manager Qian was frozen stiff, unable even to blink his eyes, like a wide-eyed statue covered in white frost.

Translation: "By then the Manager was frozen stiff, unable even to blink his eyes, like a wide‑eyed statue, his whole body coated in white frost."

Translation: "Zheng Qingxuan worriedly reminded Lin Dongfan: \"Boss Fan, if we cause a death, the trouble will be huge; you'd better hand him over to Chen Shaokang. \""

Upon hearing this, Lao Ba, standing nearby, smiled without saying a word.

Translation: "Hearing this, Lao Ba, standing beside him, smiled without speaking."

He thought this young lady seemed quite smart, yet she still hadn't seen through Fan Ye's true identity; in front of the bureau chief, Chen Shaokang was merely a lowly errand runner.

Translation: "He thought this little miss looked quite smart, yet still hadn't seen through Fan Ye's true identity; in front of the bureau chief, Chen Shaokang was merely a menial sidekick."

"The list and ledger in safe number 8 are fake; they've been swapped."

There seems to be missing punctuation; but translate as: "\"The list and ledger in safe No. 8 are fake, they've been switched. \"" We'll keep the double period maybe but translate: "\"The list and ledger in safe No. 8 are fake, they've been switched. \""

Lin Dongfan threw the documents heavily onto the table.

Translation: "Lin Dongfan threw the documents heavily onto the table."

Translation: "He also ordered his subordinate bodyguards: \"Go fetch several buckets of hot water to give that surnamed Money bastard a hot bath, to melt the frost. \""

Okay.

The escort detail withdrew upon receiving orders.

Lin Dongfan smiled and asked Zheng Qingxuan, "Fairy sister, the upcoming scene might be a bit unsuitable for minors; do you want to step aside?"

"Please, don't act rashly, okay?" Zheng Qingxuan frowned worriedly: "I know you want to quickly obtain the dividend list ledger of the Sea God Foundation, and you want to topple Guo Lichun, but you can't act recklessly. You're just a businessman, not a law enforcement officer. If you use private punishment, you're basically handing Guo Lichun a handle. Can't you consider the consequences? How could such a smart person do something so foolish?"

"Beautifully said, heartwarming."

Lin Dongfan gazed at the worried Zheng Qingxuan with a smile; the so-called kindness and rationality were probably just like her—she seemed to have nothing called "hatred" in her heart.

Really unbelievable!

Really just like a fairy!

Lin Dongfan laughed incredulously: "Everything is because of my intervention, which led to your Zheng family ending up like this. Your father and brother have both been arrested; they might even face the death penalty. You not only don't hate me, but you even care about me—are you the legendary Holy Mother reincarnated?"

Whenever family matters were mentioned, Zheng Qingxuan's worries piled up.

She replied, laughing and crying at once: "Who said I don't hate you? But hate is hate; I can't just stand by and watch you do illegal things."

"You don't want me to die?" Lin Dongfan asked curiously.

After a moment of thought, Zheng Qingxuan gave a bitter smile and shook her head: "My father and brother's situation isn't your fault; they broke the law first."

"You've really moved me; could I hug you? A hug is also a repayment—I mainly want to repay your kindness, since you just saved my life."

Saying this, Lin Dongfan opened his arms toward Zheng Qing.

Zheng Qingxuan looked embarrassed: "This……"

"Repaying kindness with a hug—that's my principle as a person."

Before Zheng Qingxuan could react, Lin Dongfan had already pulled her into a tight embrace.

In an instant, Zheng Qingxuan's mind went blank, her body stiff like wood, unmoving! Who am I? Where am I? Have I gone foolish?

Beside him, Lao Ba also broke out in a black line, sighing inwardly: "Just shameless! Sister-in-law, if you don't rein in your husband, your family will really gain another ninth concubine..."
