The Troubled Bank

"Liu Di, where did you go?"

"President Yan went out just now, and we couldn't find the driver!"

Zhao Qianqian stood in the doorway with her hands on her hips and her brows tightly furrowed. "So President Yan punished you by making you go on a date with me tonight!"

"Date my ass."

Liu Di smiled helplessly, walked around Zhao Qianqian, and headed straight into Yan Qingwen's office.

"Liu Di, you left your post during working hours. This month's bonus is deducted."

Yan Qingwen sat behind her desk with a cold expression, gently wiping her palms.

On the coat rack beside her.

Hung a white lab coat covered in bloodstains, still swaying faintly.

"Miss Yan, did you just go out and kill someone?"

Liu Di chuckled.

Luckily, he knew Yan Qingwen's identity.

Otherwise, the sight before him could easily have made Yan Qingwen seem like an office serial killer.

"I just went to Grandpa Tuo's place and helped him perform a few surgeries."

As Yan Qingwen spoke, she gently set down the wet wipe in her hand.

Only then did Liu Di notice that her hands were trembling slightly.

It was probably caused by extreme mental strain and excessive exhaustion.

Liu Di paused slightly.

This girl was actually kind-hearted by nature!

"Liu Di, take a look at this list."

Yan Qingwen pushed a document on the desk toward him.

Liu Di stepped forward and glanced over it.

The list was filled with medical supplies, including standard disinfectants, medicines, and some commonly used medical equipment!

"I just made this list. These are all things Grandpa Tuo's hospital urgently needs right now."

"Since Grandpa Tuo doesn't think much of our Yingzhi Group, I'll donate these things to him in my own name."

Yan Qingwen lowered her gaze slightly and continued, "But Grandpa Tuo doesn't seem to like me much. Liu Di, find time tomorrow to deliver these things to him."

So that was it!

Liu Di nodded in sudden understanding.

He could not help but think more highly of Yan Qingwen.

"You don't understand Grandpa Tuo. His stance is actually especially easy to sway."

Liu Di scratched his head and smiled. "Next time you go, just bring him a few bottles of good liquor. He might even take you in as his goddaughter!"

With that, Liu Di picked up a pen and wrote at the bottom of the list: Niulanshan Erguotou, 3 cases!

Yan Qingwen stared blankly into space.

She vaguely recalled that when Liu Di had first met Grandpa Tuo last time, the old man's first words had been: "Little Liu Di, why didn't you bring me any liquor?"

Could Grandpa Tuo be a little old man who loved drinking?

Make a note of that!

After instructing Zhao Qianqian to prepare the items on the list.

Yan Qingwen briskly picked up her handbag. "Liu Di, come to the bank with me!"

"What are we going to the bank for?"

"What else? To withdraw money, obviously!"

"You're a grown woman. Do you still need to withdraw money in person?"

"Isn't it all because of you!"

Near the Yingzhi Group office building, outside Sea City Commercial Bank.

5:20 p.m.

Inside a box truck marked "North Wind Logistics."

An elderly man sat in the cargo compartment with a faint smile on his lips, watching rows of surveillance monitors.

The screens displayed surveillance footage from the bank across the street!

The elderly man was at least seventy years old, his hair and brows snow-white.

Yet he sat with his back straight, carrying an extraordinary aura, his body as sturdy as that of a man in his thirties or forties!

"Instructor, ten more minutes. Once the bank officially closes and the civilians leave, our exercise can begin!"

Behind the old man stood a towering, respectful man.

His skin was dark, and his muscles bulged all over his body. One of his arms alone was almost as thick as an ordinary person's thigh!

Standing in the over-two-meter-high cargo compartment, the man's head nearly touched the ceiling!

The old man chuckled, looking utterly relaxed.

"That old Duan Hua, at his age, is still so competitive. Instead of properly running his Sea City Super Police Team, he insists on having his men compete with mine?"

"And he even had to come up with such a lousy idea—simulating a bank robbery?"

The towering man behind him could not help shaking his head. "Instructor, forgive me for speaking frankly, but Commander Duan Hua's men are completely no match for our team members!"

"Of course I know that."

The sturdy old man smiled faintly, looking very proud. "But Old Ghost Duan and I have been comrades-in-arms for decades. I can't exactly refuse to give him face, can I?"

"So the moment I got his call, I hurried over to Sea City!"

"But... to leave Old Ghost Duan some dignity, I only brought a few rookie soldiers who were just selected into the group this time, so Old Duan won't lose too badly!"

As he spoke, the old man could not help snickering mischievously, like a naughty old child!

The towering man shook his head slightly as well.

That was right.

This time, they had indeed only brought a few new team members who had not received any training.

The new members' strength was indeed vastly different from that of the official members.

But they were not rookies!

They were top experts personally selected by the instructor from units all across the country!

Each one could take on a hundred enemies and had survived countless battles!

They were commonly known as Kings of Soldiers!

And.

The sturdy old man who called these sharp blades of the military, these ace warriors who were gods of war, "rookies."

Was none other than a member of China's most secret special operations force—Heavenly Net!

The new instructor of the Tian Luo Group, codename: Black Mountain!

The tower-like man was the only official Tian Luo Group member who had accompanied Black Mountain to Sea City this time.

Captain of Tian Luo Team A—codename Grizzly!

The "rookies" they spoke of were Heavenly Net reserve members who had already passed selection, chosen one in ten thousand!

Grizzly pointed at several spots on the screens, where several "civilians" were sitting or standing.

"Instructor, the six rookies are already in position."

"Once the bank closes, Commander Duan's men will also arrive. The rookies will disguise themselves as robbers and launch their attack."

"If our men successfully take the money away, we win."

"If our people are stopped, they win."

Grizzly paused, then added, "Everything has been coordinated with the bank. There definitely won't be any casualties, so don't worry."

"Mm, not bad."

Black Mountain nodded slightly, unable to hide the expectant look on his face.

It was his first time taking part in this kind of exercise.

His men had changed into civilian clothes and disguised themselves as bank customers.

Meanwhile, the other side's special operations soldiers knew nothing, and under their superior's arrangements, had gone to the bank to conduct business.

On one side were Tian Luo Group rookies pretending to be robbers!

On the other was the Sea City Super Police Team, which had supposedly stumbled upon a bank robbery!

They were locked in a direct confrontation!

It looked like a chance encounter, but it was actually a deliberately arranged combat exercise!

"Old Ghost Duan is far too confident! He's bound to lose!"

"Haha, just thinking about it is entertaining!"

Black Mountain leaned back in his chair and laughed. "Grizzly, let's sit back and watch the show!"
