Han Fei was a bit puzzled.
Recently, the number of cases had suddenly increased!
He didn't know why...
After all, including today, he had only been back in Ram City for two days.
Who would have thought that these two days would be non-stop work.
There were people using excavators to dig up ATMs, others tampering with barbecue seasoning, and now a bank robbery?
This crime rate... why was it shooting up so quickly?
And all of this seemed to happen after Xu Mo came to the police station...
Thinking of this, Han Fei couldn't help but glance at Xu Mo.
He wondered if this guy had the legendary "Conan syndrome".
Of course, Han Fei didn't have time to ponder this now. He had to get to the scene immediately, without a second's delay.
"Xu Mo, we've got work to do. Stop practicing and come with me."
Meanwhile.
At the bank.
"Hurry up! I want money! Give me all the money, or I'll stab him!" The agitated robber had a fruit knife pressed against the Lobby Manager's throat, forcing the teller to hand over the money.
"I know, please calm down. We're getting the money for you right now!" The teller tried to soothe the robber's emotions while retrieving the money.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with short hair, wearing a black jacket, was standing opposite the robber with his hands raised, attempting to communicate with him.
He was the police's Negotiation Expert.
Coincidentally, he happened to be in the bank when the robbery occurred.
As a Negotiation Expert, he knew how to communicate with robbers.
He felt it was his duty to step up at this moment and save ordinary people from danger!
Negotiating with robbers was his specialty.
He believed that by revealing his identity as a Negotiation Expert and stating that he could represent the police, he could make the robber lower his guard, or even give up the idea of hurting people.
"Sir, hello, I am..."
However, to the Negotiation Expert's surprise, the robber didn't wait for him to finish speaking before taking action.
The robber immediately withdrew the knife from the Lobby Manager's throat and, without a word, slashed across the Negotiation Expert's chest.
"Hello my ass! Did I ask you to speak?"
Fortunately, thanks to the protection of the ribs, the robber only slashed once instead of stabbing, so the vital organs like the heart were not harmed.
Only the outermost layer of skin and flesh was cut open.
Of course, while there was no life-threatening danger,
Bleeding and pain were inevitable.
The blood flowed quickly, soon soaking through the Negotiation Expert's clothes.
After losing a large amount of blood, the Negotiation Expert's lips began to turn pale, his body shaking uncontrollably. He soon went into shock and fainted, collapsing to the ground.
After slashing the Negotiation Expert, the robber immediately pulled back the bloodied knife and continued to point it at the Lobby Manager's throat, then shouted:
"Don't think I won't kill someone. Hurry up and get me the money! Otherwise, I'll kill you all!"
Seeing how deranged this robber was, actually daring to use his knife, the bank staff were all terrified.
Some of the more timid ones had already gone weak at the knees, unable to move even if they wanted to.
The few braver ones quickly moved the money they had taken out earlier to the counter and placed it on the ground.
"Brother, we've brought out the money for you..."
"Pack it up properly! Find something to put it in! How the hell am I supposed to carry it like this?" the robber yelled.
Hearing this, the teller went to find a large travel bag and packed the money from the ground into it.
After filling it up, they zipped it closed: "It's packed."
The robber greedily licked his lips, looking at the large travel bag full of money on the ground.
"If you had cooperated like this from the start, it would have been so much easier, damn it."
With that, he immediately released the Lobby Manager and went to grab the travel bag from the ground.
He picked up the bag and was about to run out.
However, at that moment, the police cars arrived.
Several police vehicles immediately surrounded the bank entrance, blocking any escape route.
Countless officers stepped out of the cars.
At this point, the robber hadn't managed to run out of the bank doors yet.
Seeing the officers arrive, he immediately put down the travel bag and turned to take the Lobby Manager hostage again.
There was no way he could escape now.
The officers who had come to handle the bank robbery outside definitely had guns. If he went out now, it would be like asking for death.
Taking a hostage and negotiating with the police was the best solution.
After all, that's how it always happens in TV dramas...
The Lobby Manager, who had just been released, hadn't had time to run away before being taken hostage again.
Feeling the cold touch on his neck again, he felt so bitter inside.
Couldn't this guy take someone else hostage?
Why did he always target him?
Outside the bank.
Han Fei had just stepped out of the police car when he heard the robber's voice from inside.
"Listen up, all you cops outside! Don't try anything funny, or this knife of mine won't be just for show!"
"We won't do anything rash. Don't get excited. Let's talk this out. You can state your conditions, and we'll try our best to meet them. Just don't hurt anyone, alright? How about we send in a Negotiation Expert to hear your demands?" Han Fei shouted back through a megaphone, responding to the robber.
"Hurry up, my patience is running out."
Hearing this, Han Fei took out his phone and started calling the police Negotiation Expert.
However, the call wasn't going through.
At the same time, a ringtone started playing inside the bank...
Han Fei looked into the bank and was stunned.
The Negotiation Expert he was trying to reach was lying in a pool of blood!
What a coincidence!
Han Fei put down his phone, his face grave.
"This is bad... The person lying on the ground is the Negotiation Expert. The robber has stabbed him."
After thinking for two seconds, Han Fei decided to negotiate with the robber himself.
"I'll go in and talk to the robber. You all wait out here."
As soon as he said this, Chen Ke objected: "No, Captain Han, this robber is too volatile. It's dangerous. He's already injured one person. Who knows what he might do if you go in there."
"It's fine, I can handle it. Besides, as you said, this robber is emotionally unstable. If I don't go in, he's more likely to hurt someone else," Han Fei said.
Then he turned to the SWAT Team Leader.
"Are the snipers in position?"
"They're ready."
"Good. I'll leave it to you then. I'm going in now. If the robber does anything out of line, open fire. We can't let him hurt anyone else."
"Alright..." The SWAT Team Leader had just agreed when he suddenly called out to stop Han Fei: "Wait!"
The reason was that the Sniper's voice came through the wireless earpiece.
A moment later, the SWAT Team Leader looked at Han Fei: "The robber seems to have guessed that we have snipers. He's almost completely hidden behind the hostage. The angle isn't good for a clean shot. We can't stop him from hurting people."
"Captain Han, how about... let me try?" Xu Mo suddenly spoke up from the side.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh.
