The three months given by the Doctor is an ideal three months.
He now experiences severe stomach pain even from drinking water, and the only thing he's done all day is eat two bites of wontons this morning.
Given this situation, he might not last more than half a month.
Standing up again, Ling Yi's gaze hardened once more.
He didn't want to die, and since he had a chance, he had to seize it.
Before we knew it, it was around 1:30 PM.
The Baihai City Great Agriculture Bank was rather deserted at the moment. Apart from the security guards and a few staff members, there was only an elderly man with an IV drip.
The old man had been sitting in the bank for almost two hours; clearly, he wasn't there to conduct any business.
Under normal circumstances, the bank security guards would probably have already persuaded him to leave.
But this old man was no ordinary person; almost everyone in Baihai City knew him.
Ling Yi, the founder of the Ling Group, is worth billions. Even if he's just relaxing at the bank, or even throwing a party there, they'd still have to greet him with smiles.
Intravenous infusion was the only way Ling Yi could think of to replenish nutrients; he also had two bottles of Putao and one bottle of saline solution beside him.
Salt water can replenish water and salt, Putao can help him restore his strength.
This method worked well; at least, his face looks much better now, and he has regained some strength.
Suddenly, the bank's revolving doors were pushed open with tremendous force, and several masked men carrying pistols rushed into the bank.
"Bang!" The leader fired a shot into the ceiling.
"Everyone, cover your heads and get down on the ground! We're robbing you!"
Unsurprisingly, faced with real robbers and death, the bank staff were very cooperative; even the two security guards obediently lay on the ground, trembling.
Resist? Don't be ridiculous, they have guns.
The gang leader nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to say something, an old man stood up, first pulled out the IV from his arm, then moved his slightly sore arm a little before walking towards the bank's entrance.
"Hey, old man, do you want to die?" one of them shouted.
"I have stomach cancer and don't have many days left to live. You can kill me; it'll save me the trouble." Ling Yi didn't even glance at him and continued walking towards the door.
The man raised his gun to fire, but was stopped by the gang leader.
"Don't you Taoist Venerable?!" Although he said that, his voice was full of mockery.
"Besides, we happen to need someone to inform the inspectors; otherwise, it's no fun performing a one-man show."
After saying that, the bandit leader looked at Ling Yi and laughed loudly, saying, "Old man, when you go out and see the inspectors, just tell them we want Android 12's people and goods."
"You should talk to the inspectors yourselves."
Ling Yi spoke calmly and slowly. After arriving at the bank entrance, Ling Yi reached out and pulled down the roller shutter door inside the bank with a clatter.
After the roller shutter door had completely closed, Ling Yi stomped on it forcefully, as if to make sure it was properly closed.
Everyone stared at the old man in bewilderment, completely unaware of what was going on.
What happened next was even more baffling: the old man actually dialed the police right in front of the robbers.
"Heh heh, interesting!" The bandit leader, after regaining his senses, couldn't help but chuckle sinisterly, but he didn't stop them.
"Hello, is this the inspector? I'm at the Great Agriculture Bank in Baihai City. There's been a robbery here... Young man, how can you talk like that? Do you think I, an old man, would dare to joke about something this serious?"
"Do you know what the consequences would be if these robbers escaped because of your delay?"
"Why are you apologizing to me? Contact your superiors immediately and send out the police."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Yi looked at the group of robbers and said, "Young people these days are getting more and more frivolous."
The bandit leader was now somewhat confused; he had a feeling that the old man was provoking them.
"Old man, are you really not afraid of dying?"
"What are you saying? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Whether I'm afraid of death or not is unimportant. What's important is that you're going to die!" the bandit leader said sinisterly, then raised his pistol and pointed it directly at Ling Yi's head.
Ling Yi remained calm as he continued walking towards the bandit leader, and to everyone's astonishment, he willingly placed his head against the muzzle of a gun.
"Come on, fire!"
For some reason, the gang leader felt a chill run down his spine at that moment.
Was he afraid to fire? Of course not, but today's robbery was extremely important. If he killed the old man now, it might provoke the inspectors to take extreme measures.
Their goal today is to negotiate with the inspectors, not to provoke them from the outset.
The previous attempts had achieved the desired results, and the inspectors had seen their determination, which was enough.
"I..." Just as he was about to say something, a scene that stunned everyone appeared.
The gun that the robber had been holding suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, a pistol appeared in Ling Yi's hand.
No one saw how this happened.
As if by magic, the gun in the robber's hand instantly transferred to Ling Yi's hand.
The bandit leader reacted extremely quickly; he was stunned for less than a second before a perfect countermeasure was already in his mind.
He had to dodge the gun barrel with lightning speed in the next instant, while simultaneously reaching out to snatch the gun from Ling Yi's hand.
The other person was, after all, just an old man; his reaction speed couldn't possibly keep up with his.
But while his reaction was quick, Ling Yi's was even faster.
To be precise, the moment Ling Yi snatched the gun, he had already anticipated the robber's next move.
No matter how fast the robbers are, they can't outrun advance prediction.
The gun was pressed directly against the robber's head.
In the blink of an eye, the roles were reversed, and Ling Yi completed a series of Limit maneuvers.
The whole process took only a few seconds; before anyone had a chance to react, it was all over.
At this moment, the way everyone, from the robbers to the bank staff, looked at Ling Yi Changes dramatically.
Taking a deep breath, the bandit leader tried to calm himself down. He knew he had met a master; this old man was no ordinary person.
"You're too scared to shoot."
"I never use a gun." To everyone's bewilderment, Ling Yi shoved the gun into the hand of the robber leader.
This move left the bank employees dumbfounded. They had clearly taken the initiative, so why did they return the gun?
Has such a favorable situation just vanished like that?
The robber leader paused for another second, then quickly retreated, sneering, "Whoever you are, you're too arrogant. Shoot him, kill him."
Now that they knew the other party was no ordinary person, the bandit leader dared not continue playing along. No matter who this old guy was, once he was dead, he was nothing.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of gunshots rang out.
Ling Yi pretended to make a few slow movements of Twisted Waist, swaying his hips, tilting his head, and raising his hand, which looked extremely awkward and uncoordinated.
But it was these very movements that allowed him to "dodge" all the bullets.
At least that's how it appears to others.
Only Ling Yi himself knows the truth, just like when he used the Infinite Backpack to take the gun from the robber leader and then put it in his own hands.
Ling Yi used the bug-like feature of the Infinite Backpack to collect all the bullets.
The creator of this cheat system probably didn't anticipate that Ling Yi would use the Infinite Backpack in this way.
The gunfire quickly stopped.
At that moment, all the robbers felt a chill run down their spines and their scalps tingle!
These scenes, which seemed to only appear in movies, were unfolding before their very eyes, making them question the meaning of life.
"Who exactly are you?" The gang leader could no longer remain calm and shouted.
"My name is Ling Yi, and I'm a detective at the Ling Detective Agency."
Ling Yi took the opportunity to promote himself.
"A detective? Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not joking, I'm serious. You're just unlucky," Ling Yi said as he walked towards the nearest robber.
The robber almost instinctively took two steps back.
"If you hadn't run into me, it would have been fine. There are so many bad people in the world, I wouldn't have bothered with them. But you shouldn't have caused trouble in North Leaf Province, and you definitely shouldn't have appeared in Baihai City."
Ling Yi continued walking towards the robber. Perhaps feeling that retreating like this was somewhat shameful, the robber actually adopted a Fighting stance.
Ling Yi also extended his right hand and raised his palm, as if he were about to use his seemingly frail hand to strike someone.
The robbers were clearly outsiders; they were unaware of Ling Yi's identity.
However, the bank employees all knew who Ling Yi was, and some of the smart ones already knew why Ling Yi had taken action.
Ling Feng is Ling Yi's son and the top official in North Leaf Province.
Ling Yi likely intervened to help his son resolve his troubles.
This guy is the real hidden Big Shot, the true expert!
If this news gets out, it will definitely cause a sensation.
Ling Yi's composure put immense pressure on the robber. Seeing the aged hand so close to him, the robber roared and clenched his fist, slamming it towards Ling Yi's hand.
But the next moment, the robber's body flickered strangely, and then he collapsed at Ling Yi's feet.
This scene is extremely bizarre and defies common sense.
It was like watching a movie and suddenly losing a few frames of video. The robber's fist had just touched Ling Yi's palm, then paused for a moment, and the next second, it appeared at Ling Yi's feet.
At this point, Ling Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He successfully exploited the Infinite Backpack bug again.
Ling Yi remained outwardly calm and indifferent, not even glancing at the dead robber at his feet, and walked towards the other robber.
At this moment, even if Ling Yi did nothing, he still brought an extremely terrifying sense of oppression to the robbers.
Ling Yi's methods are truly bizarre.
"Name who's backing you, then turn yourselves in." Ling Yi's voice sounded like a suggestion, but to everyone else, it was an unquestionable order.
The robber leader knew he had encountered a master today, a peerless master who could even dodge bullets.
He had absolutely no chance to resist this terrifying, monstrous being.
