Chapter 538: Let's Cooperate

The moment the main door was opened, two security guards holding M1 Carbine rifles rushed out, their muzzles pointed straight at the chests of the masked individuals outside—

In a flash, He Yuzhu flicked his wrists, and two streaks of cold light tore through the air!

"Puff, puff!"

The Flying Knives precisely nailed into the guards' throats; the two men reached out to touch their wounds, only to find they no longer had the strength to raise their rifles, their bodies still pushed forward by inertia to stumble a few steps before collapsing heavily to the ground.

The two masked individuals in the corner stood stunned, their eyes wide beneath their masks, clearly not having expected anyone to step in and help.

But before they could react, dense footsteps came from the basement again—four security guards rushed into the lobby with rifles raised!

"Hide!"

He Yuzhu shouted, and the two masked individuals immediately rolled into the corner, raising their hands to pull the triggers of their Pistols.

Bullets whistled and flew across the bank lobby, sparks splashing against the marble pillars.

The four security guards had nowhere to hide and were taken down by the two masked individuals in the blink of an eye.

A large masked man quickly rushed into the settlement room, pointed his gun at a Manager, and barked: "Open the safe immediately and put all the money in the bag! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

The Manager's hands trembled, and the key failed to align with the keyhole several times.

He Yuzhu did not look at them; he picked up an M1 Carbine and headed toward the vault.

The masked individuals had already opened fire, and the security guards and Police would likely arrive soon. He Yuzhu no longer had any reservations; he saw two guards aiming their rifles at him.

"Da-da-da!"

He Yuzhu fired faster than them, and the two security guards fell into a pool of blood on the spot.

He continued downstairs, and two more security guards rushed to meet him, only to be cleanly and efficiently dealt with by him as well.

He rushed to the entrance of the vault, only to see that the main door was a heavy alloy door that required two keys to be opened simultaneously.

He focused his mind, and with a thought, the entire door vanished instantly, taken into his space.

The second door was even thicker, and the locking mechanism was more complex, but to He Yuzhu, it was not difficult at all.

In just a few seconds, he swaggered into the vault.

The vault was covered in infrared beams; the moment He Yuzhu entered, a piercing alarm sounded abruptly.

He Yuzhu found it annoying and simply took all the alarm devices into his space.

The sight inside the vault made his breath hitch for a moment—

Rows of stainless steel shelves were filled with gold bricks, glowing with a dazzling, golden light in the dim illumination.

With a wave of his hand, all the gold, along with the stainless steel shelves, was completely cleared away.

He Yuzhu quickly returned upstairs and found that the main door was no longer passable; the two masked individuals were in a fierce firefight with security personnel who had rushed in from the main entrance.

Bullets flew everywhere, and the customers conducting business were all lying in the corners, not daring to breathe.

"Damn it..."

He Yuzhu did not stop for a second and ran directly up the stairs.

Seeing this, the two masked individuals subconsciously followed He Yuzhu upstairs.

Outside the window, the sound of sirens approached from afar, becoming clearer and clearer.

Behind them, several security guards were chasing the three of them upstairs.

He Yuzhu quickly threw out three Hand Grenades.

Boom—!

Several security personnel who were chasing closely were blown away on the spot.

The remaining people no longer dared to pursue them rashly.

The three of them rushed to the top floor, and He Yuzhu used a discarded water storage tank to pin down the only door.

This was a high-rise building of over twenty floors, and the wind on the roof was very strong.

The two masked individuals looked at He Yuzhu from afar, panting heavily, their eyes full of despair—they felt this was a dead end.

He Yuzhu patrolled the roof for a circle and looked at another building ten meters away; that building was slightly shorter than this one, and the distance between the buildings was no more than ten meters, but to the two masked individuals, it was a chasm.

He Yuzhu unhurriedly pulled a Rope with a hook from his backpack, swung it in his hand, and threw it out with a "whoosh"—

The iron hook cut through the air and firmly caught the railing on the opposite roof.

"Help us! We'll split the money with you!" the masked woman shouted at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu only nodded and took out three sliding hooks: "Follow me."

He hooked on first and slid down, his figure tracing an arc between the buildings, landing steadily on the opposite platform.

The other two followed closely behind, the Rope pulled taut in the wind.

As soon as He Yuzhu landed, he quickly took out another long Rope, a full sixty meters long, tied one end to a sturdy concrete pillar, threw the other end straight down the building, and immediately grabbed the rope to slide down rapidly.

The two masked individuals were completely stunned by He Yuzhu's actions; they hadn't expected him to be able to pull so many tools out of one backpack.

Below was an old parking lot with few cars parked inside.

He Yuzhu headed straight for a brand-new Chevrolet sedan, poked a wire into the car window, hooked and pulled, and the car door opened with a click.

Ignition, start, all in one go.

The two masked individuals had just landed and rushed over, stumbling: "Give us a ride! We'll give you money!" the woman's voice carried a plea.

He Yuzhu pushed open the passenger door: "Get in!"

The Chevrolet roared out of the parking lot, speeding along Fifth Avenue.

Outside the car window, the high-rises of Manhattan flashed backward rapidly, and the sound of sirens was still ringing all around.

He Yuzhu turned into several narrow alleys in succession, crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, and finally drove into a group of abandoned warehouses in the dock area, parking the car in a dilapidated factory.

The three of them got out of the car, and the masked young man and woman finally pulled off their masks—they were two East Europe faces in their early twenties, with high-bridged noses and deep eye sockets.

"Thank you." The young woman took a deep breath and said in accented English, "The money, we keep our word, we'll split half with you."

As she spoke, she opened the cloth bag and poured out stacks of US banknotes, which must have been hundreds of thousands of dollars.

He Yuzhu only took a stack, about ten thousand US dollars: "I have enough with this; it's not easy for you either."

"You... aren't short on money?" the man asked with a face full of surprise.

"I'm not short on Xiao Qian," He Yuzhu smiled, "Where are you two from?"

"We came from Su Guo," the woman's eyes dimmed, "My father was a gymnast; after participating in the Olympics back then, he stayed here to teach. I worked at this bank, but because my parents are from Su Guo, they fired me during this investigation. So, I came over with my boyfriend, wanting to take the money that should have been mine!"

He Yuzhu laughed: "You have quite a personality."

The woman reached out her hand: "My name is Nina, and he is Vasili."

"My name is Xiao He," He Yuzhu raised his hand and shook hers.

Nina suddenly looked up, her gray-blue eyes staring intently at him: "Are you also planning to rob this bank today?"

He Yuzhu smiled: "They owe me money too, quite a lot of it, so I am also here to collect."

"With your help, we could rob any bank without a problem! Why don't we work together?" a glimmer flashed in Nina's eyes as she said eagerly.

He Yuzhu nodded.

The sea breeze lifted Nina's light golden hair, brushing it across her cheeks.

He Yuzhu looked at her and said with a smile: "We can plan it out properly and pull off another job."

Nina also smiled, her eyes full of excitement, "I'll listen to you."
