Chapter 617: Chapter 618: Encountering a Bank Robbery

If a girl became distant and aloof in front of Ye Qiu, then he would become even more distant and aloof. Since Liu Xia insisted on moving out.

Ye Qiu didn’t bother to pay attention to her.

"Mom, she’s just a friend, don’t overthink it."

Ye Qiu said.

Chen Fang smiled but didn’t say anything. She had seen Liu Xia’s eyes red and swollen this morning when she looked at her, clearly crying a lot last night. Her eyes must have been swollen when she woke up this morning.

Chen Fang didn’t know what had happened between Liu Xia and Ye Qiu, but she couldn’t interfere. She knew that Ye Qiu was much smarter than she was.

"Mom, I have something to do, so I’ll be going out now. You should stay home and rest today, no need to go to the restaurant."

Ye Qiu took his household registration and ID card and headed to the real estate agency where Advisor Luo worked. When he arrived at the shop’s entrance, Advisor Luo was already waiting for him early in the morning.

"Mr. Ye, you finally came."

However, what Advisor Luo didn’t expect was that the two pretty girls didn’t come with Ye Qiu today.

"I want to pay the full house payment in one go today and then go handle the tax. You take care of the rest for me."

"Sure, Mr. Ye."

Now that Ye Qiu was there, Advisor Luo called the property owner.

About half an hour later, the property owner came with the original title deed. After Ye Qiu reviewed it and saw that there were no problems, they discussed the price. Since they wouldn’t need a bank loan, paying in full meant the total price would be a bit lower.

With Advisor Luo’s mediation, the owner agreed to knock off five hundred thousand.

Then the three of them signed a tripartite contract and went to the property management bureau to handle the tax and registration. Ye Qiu paid a portion of the down payment, and the remainder would be paid to the owner after receiving the new title deed in a week.

Even like that, it was still several months faster than getting a mortgage.

Coming out of the property management bureau, Advisor Luo said, "Mr. Ye, the houses you asked me to find last night, I’ve found a few. But the ones between one and two million are either very old or very small, all two-bedroom units."

Originally, Ye Qiu wanted to buy a large house worth four to five million for Liu Daqing and his wife, but he was afraid they would be like Liu Xia and wouldn’t accept it.

So, he settled for an ordinary one.

Of course, a two-bedroom unit would suffice since, in his mind, Liu Lingxiu would eventually live at Peach Blossom Spring Villa anyway.

"A two-bedroom unit will do!"

Ye Qiu said.

"Shall we look at it now?"

Ye Qiu checked the time and saw that it was still early. He was about to go see the house with Advisor Luo but then thought that since it was for Liu Daqing and his wife, they needed to agree on it.

"Forget it. In a few days, when my elders have time, I’ll go with them to see it as I plan to buy it for them to live in."

"Sure, Mr. Ye, I’ll look for others in the meantime. Maybe there’s something better."

When Ye Qiu drove Advisor Luo back to the real estate agency entrance, he had already paid the three percent commission fee, naturally making Advisor Luo very happy and willing to handle all the other paperwork for Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu realized he had no cash in his pocket and needed to withdraw a few tens of thousands from the bank. Although using a card for expenses was convenient, many times cash was still better.

Ye Qiu drove to a nearby Industrial and Commercial Bank.

When he arrived at the bank, he found that it was just after 10 a.m., and the bank was crowded both inside and out.

After struggling to find a parking spot and parking his car, he grabbed his wallet and headed into the bank’s counter.

He had intended to use the ATM but found that it had a withdrawal limit of only twenty thousand, not enough for his expenses. So, he went to the counter to withdraw seventy or eighty thousand in one go.

Ye Qiu’s bank card was issued in Jiangbei. If he were there, he wouldn’t have had to queue; he could have gone straight to the VIP room and the bank staff would have handled his request.

But this was Jiangnan, so Ye Qiu had to take a number and wait in the lobby.

While playing on his phone, Ye Qiu noticed a group of armed guards getting out of a cash transport vehicle carrying two large boxes of money.

This was one of the larger branches in Jiangnan, with many people withdrawing money every day, so guards would deliver cash daily.

This was normal, as it happened every day.

But Ye Qiu suddenly sensed a dangerous atmosphere.

Looking up, he saw a van with license plates stop right in front of the bank, and a group of people with something like black stockings over their heads jumped out and rushed into the bank.

The security guard at the bank entrance sensed something was amiss and was about to shout when one of the men with a black stocking over his head shot at him.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and the security guard fell, blood gushing from his chest, quickly soaking his uniform red.

The two armed guards inside the bank heard the gunshot and were about to fire when the men with black stockings shot at them.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two gunshots, the guards were hit in the chest. Although they didn’t fall, their guns dropped.

The men with black stockings then shot the guards in the legs, causing them to fall, screaming in pain.

The other two guards carrying the money, seeing the situation, tried to run into the bank, but the men in black stockings opened fire once more.

"Bang!"

...

After several more shots, the guards fell in puddles of blood, and one of the men with a black stocking over his head took the two large boxes of cash.

But to Ye Qiu’s surprise, instead of fleeing with the cash worth at least tens of millions, the men lowered the bank’s security gate and approached the counter.

Seeing the pale-faced female teller, he said, "Hand over all the cash."

One female teller, either frozen in fear or unwilling to hand over the money, was shot in the chest by the man with the black stocking.

"Quickly hand over the money, or this will be your fate!"

The man shouted in a raspy voice.
