Chapter 618: Chapter 0619: You’re Pressing on Me There

The men in the black stocking masks entered incredibly quickly, and many customers conducting their business inside the bank were unable to react in time.

By the time they did react, they saw the security guards lying in pools of blood, and suddenly, the cries and screams of women, children, and men rang out. While a small portion of the customers managed to escape, the rest who hadn’t had the chance to flee watched as the gate at the entrance of the Industrial and Commercial Bank was pulled down.

Xia Jing had just come over to the bank to reconcile her accounts today when, unexpectedly, she encountered robbers attacking the bank.

This kind of incident was something she had only seen in TV dramas and movies; she had never encountered it in reality.

Seeing those guards shot and lying in blood, Xia Jing was so scared that she stood frozen in place, not daring to move.

"Everyone get down!"

The leader of the robbers shouted.

Xia Jing hurriedly bent over and crouched down. In the midst of the chaotic crowd, she moved around for a while and, unexpectedly, she ran into that strange young man again.

Ye Qiu!

Xia Jing really hadn’t expected to run into Ye Qiu here.

However, unlike the other ordinary people or business owners who were scared out of their wits, with some even soiling themselves, Xia Jing noticed that only Ye Qiu remained very calm, his expression seeming no different from usual.

For some reason, upon seeing Ye Qiu, the fear and horror that Xia Jing felt subsided a great deal.

Crouching on the ground, Xia Jing slowly moved towards where Ye Qiu was.

Ye Qiu only occasionally glanced at the robbers threatening the female tellers for money.

Because one of the female tellers had been shot and was lying there, alive or dead unknown, the other tellers hurriedly took out cash and placed it on the counter.

"The money belongs to the state, but your lives are your own. If you don’t want to die, get the money out faster!"

The hoarse voice of the lead robber commanded.

Ye Qiu could tell that these robbers seemed to have planned everything. Their heads were covered with black stocking masks, revealing only two dark eyes, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.

And they had worn gloves from the moment they arrived, clearly not wanting to leave fingerprints.

Most importantly, Ye Qiu noticed that their speech was all hoarse.

Clearly, they were deliberately altering their voices so they wouldn’t leave evidence for the police to track them down.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu smelled a perfume; at first, he thought it was some kind of fragrance, but when he turned around, it was actually Xia Jing, the married woman he had encountered at ’Saint Paris’ high-end beauty salon.

Ye Qiu didn’t know her name, but Shen Yueru had told him not to get involved with this kind of woman.

Ye Qiu also felt that this married woman wasn’t simple; while she was very beautiful, she seemed to be more than just an ordinary housewife in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, he had now run into her here, and she was continuously moving closer to him.

Ye Qiu didn’t say anything; he had already crouched down.

In situations like this, if he were like other hot-blooded young men who would stand up, that would simply be a one-way ticket to death; Ye Qiu wasn’t foolish to that extent.

Even if he was very capable, now was not the time to stand out and take action.

"Ye, Mr. Ye."

Xia Jing whispered.

Ye Qiu remained silent.

Xia Jing continued, "Are you here to conduct business at the bank too?"

Coming to the bank was not for business, then was it to rob money like those thieves?

Ye Qiu thought Xia Jing was really making idle talk.

However, he found that the faint scent emanating from Xia Jing was very pleasant, and so was the smell of her hair. He wasn’t sure if Xia Jing was very close, but now Ye Qiu could even feel her skin.

But still, Ye Qiu remained silent.

"Hurry up!"

"Do you want to die?"

A robber fired a shot into the ceiling and then cursed at the female teller.

The female teller hastily took out all the cash from beneath the counter, her voice almost breaking into sobs as she said, "The money, I’ve taken out all the money."

"Good for you!"

Several robbers picked up the sacks they had prepared beforehand and began stuffing stacks of hundred-yuan bills into them. After filling several sacks and knowing that police officers would soon arrive, they prepared to leave. But unexpectedly, the police had already been dispatched.

"Boss, a bunch of cops have shown up outside, and we can’t get out now, what do we do?"

They had already taken the large sum of cash at the fastest speed possible and planned on leaving Jinling district. They had many ways to escape from Jinling.

But they hadn’t anticipated the police arriving so quickly.

The outside must have already been surrounded by local law enforcement officers, making a safe exit now seemingly impossible.

"What to do? Don’t we have a lot of hostages here?"

The lead robber said.

He had just had the gate shut down precisely to prevent the police from suddenly entering or all the hostages escaping.

Now with so many hostages inside, the police outside certainly wouldn’t dare to come in; after all, the lives of these hostages were valuable.

"Round up those hostages who are dressed in fashionable and trendy clothes!"

The boss of the robbers ordered.

Soon, a large number of robbers looked over to the jostling crowd inside. Among the hostages, it was evident who had money and who didn’t at a glance.

After all, in the eyes of the robbers, only the lives of wealthy people were worth any money.

Xia Jing had been sticking close to Ye Qiu out of fear of the robbers, so she and Ye Qiu had been getting closer and closer. Added to that, when the other ordinary people, frantic with fear, squeezed past, it brought Ye Qiu and Xia Jing even closer together.

Normally, the bank’s lobby was quite spacious, but as the robbers had made all the customers crouch down and, out of fear, they had huddled together involuntarily, resembling animals huddled for warmth in the cold winter.

Right now, these ordinary people were purely out of fear, feeling a stronger sense of safety by sticking together.

A stunningly beautiful married woman was just so close to Ye Qiu.

"You’re squeezing me."
