Chapter 82: Gentleman's Demeanor
That young mother looked at Xiao Lin in disbelief, not expecting that the young man had only lightly touched him, and she hadn't even reacted yet, letting the baby who was still crying fall asleep. This... could it be the acupoint technique from Chinese martial arts? The young woman wanted to thank him, but in this kind of environment, if you didn't want to die, you could only obediently follow the robbers' instructions.
Xiao Lin looked very frightened, following closely behind the young mother and other hostages as they walked towards the corner of the wall. At this moment, Xiao Lin saw Tongtong standing in front, her small face pale with fear, having never experienced anything like this before.
At the moment when Xiao Lin came in, Tongtong saw Xiao Lin and couldn't help but blame herself. If she hadn't insisted on entering this bank, she wouldn't have encountered such a situation. What Tongtong couldn't understand was why Dr. Xiao had to come in? Based on the time the bandit entered, it was several minutes after her own entry. At that time, Dr. Xiao should still be outside and could see the bandit entering, so why did he rush in rashly?
When the gunshot rang out, Tongtong almost shouted out loud, and even had an impulse to rush up, her heart hanging in her throat. If Dr. Xiao was shot and killed by the bandits like this, Tongtong didn't know if she would spend the rest of her life in guilt and self-blame.
Fortunately, Xiao Lin seemed to be scared and immediately fell to the ground, rolling over to a young mother's side, apparently not being hit, Tiantian's hanging heart slightly put down.
Xiao Lin's subtle actions and the look in her eyes happened to fall into Tongtong's line of sight. Next, the young mother loosened her grip on the baby in her arms, and the crying infant not only stopped crying but also fell asleep. At this moment, Tongtong was even more shocked by Xiao Lin.
Is Dr. Xiao here by himself? And did he already know about the bank robbery before entering? Moreover, Tiantian is even more certain that Dr. Xiao was not scared to the ground by the robbers on the scene, but rather fell to the ground because he sensed danger.
Tongtong didn't expect that the handsome and intimidating Dr. Xiao would be a highly skilled person with such a kind, brave, and selfless heart. Even knowing that there was a robbery happening in the bank, with robbers wielding powerful firearms, he still dared to come in. Tongtong didn't know why, but her heart slowly calmed down, and she began to blindly admire Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin had been paying attention to the movements of those bandits, and was even more convinced of his idea from earlier when he was outside the door. These bandits were not here to rob the bank, but had some other purpose. If they were here to rob the bank, at this moment, not a single one of them would be going after the money, but instead were just standing guard in the lobby.
Xiao Lian's heart moved, looking at this formation, it seemed that the opposite side was not just these six people. Otherwise, what does it mean to stand still now? It is known that even if a car accident occurs outside and severely congests traffic, in Huaxia, administrative power is omnipresent. At this critical moment, mobilizing administrative power is inevitable.
According to Xiao Lin's estimation, even if the outside caused a traffic jam, for the Yanjing Special Police Team, it would only be delayed for three to five minutes. Since the other party has not immediately implemented the robbery, their purpose is probably not that, so they don't worry about being surrounded from the outside.
Not only did Xiao Lin think so, but many of the hostages also thought so. These robbers were not here to rob a bank, they had another purpose.
Xiao Lin observed everything in the field, with his hands in his pockets, holding three silver needles. The opponents were divided into five positions, and it was clear that they were strictly trained warriors. Xiao Lin did not have the confidence to kill them all at once. At best, he could only kill three people. If there was another Longyun team member cooperating with him, then Xiao Lin would be confident.
"The meeting room on the fourth floor has been found, but there are many people inside now, do we need to provide support?" The leader of the eagle gang said in a low voice, others couldn't hear what he was saying, but Xiao Lin heard it clearly.
"It's not just these people, it seems the other side has made detailed plans and arranged for personnel inside the bank. It doesn't look like they'll be short-handed! However, if the other side withdraws one or two members, I might have a chance to make a move!" Xiao Lin thought to himself, actually hoping the other side would send more people over.
When the leader said this, Xiao Lin suddenly heard a sound of knocking from the room on the right side of the first floor hall. The sound was getting louder and louder, even shaking the floor here.
The leader heard the sound of footsteps and immediately said, "Alright, the BOSS has arrived. I'll send No. 4 and No. 5 to assist you. Hopefully, you can get everything done before the BOSS appears on the fourth floor; otherwise, you're on your own!" Then, the leader turned to the hijacker following him and said, "No. 5, go with No. 4 to provide support! It seems like they're encountering some resistance over there!"
Two people withdrew, the noise in the room on the right side calmed down after a loud bang, and then a chaotic footsteps came from inside.
"Three people!" Xiao Lin judged: "And they are all masters!" Xiao Lin was secretly surprised, the three people who came up from the underground of the room on the right side, their footsteps were much lighter, and it was possible that they were also practitioners. From the sound of their footsteps, they would absolutely not be ordinary people.
The door opened, and the first to walk out was a young man in his thirties. Judging from his appearance, he looked more like a European or American, with a tall and sturdy build, at least over 1.9 meters in height. He wore a tight-fitting leather jacket that perfectly showcased his robust muscles. His sharp eyebrows and hawk-like nose outlined his unruly face.
Behind him were two burly men with masked faces, each holding a lightweight machine gun. Although they were called lightweight, the weight of each one was absolutely over 20 kilograms, but in their hands, it seemed like a toy gun, holding the gun with one hand, looking effortless.
Xiao Lin's heart sank, and he thought of the fierce battle a few months ago in the Middle East, where he encountered a fanatical religious organization led by a man in his 40s who looked almost identical to this young giant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm, we mean no harm to you or the bank's money. I'm just here to ask someone for a favor!" The young man smiled slightly, revealing a gentle smile, looking like a true gentleman!
