Chapter 7: Disaster Upon Leaving the Factory

“Mo Mo, I really don’t know what happened. The lock was perfectly fine, but Su Yan just got out!”

Song Xue found Su Mo’s classroom, and the two girls huddled together, their expressions looking terrible.

Especially when Song Xue saw the red, swollen cheek on Su Mo’s face, she was incredibly shocked.

“Could it be that she can fly?” Su Mo was annoyed, and her tone was naturally unpleasant.

But who would have thought that after hearing this, Song Xue’s eyes would tremble violently.

“I think that blind girl is not quite right…”

Even though she couldn’t see, her walking wasn’t affected in the slightest. Aside from her, did no one else find that terrifying?

Su Mo looked at her horrified expression and really didn’t want to admit that Su Yan had any superior qualities.

Just as she was about to retort, she saw Su Yan walking toward the school gate.

She was moving very fast, as if she had some urgent business.

Song Xue followed her gaze, and the strange feeling in her heart grew even stronger when she saw Su Yan.

“Class is about to start, where is she going?”

Su Mo couldn’t answer Song Xue’s question.

The two of them just watched, wide-eyed, as the blindfolded Su Yan left the school with long, swift strides.

Savings Bank.

There were many people handling business. Su Jianguo and the accountant took a number and sat to the side to wait.

Time passed bit by bit, and just as it was about to be their turn, something unusual happened at the front counter.

First, the bank staff suddenly showed expressions of terror, then sat stiffly at their stations, unable to move.

Su Jianguo, who was checking the time, was poked by the accountant beside him.

He was slightly stunned, and just as he was about to ask what was wrong, he saw a layer of cold sweat break out on the accountant’s forehead; the man seemed incredibly tense.

“Robbery! Don’t move! Everyone get down!”

Before he could react, a ferocious shout completely shattered the order of the savings bank.

At least seven or eight depositors, including Su Jianguo, instantly fell into chaos.

The robbers, who had been lurking in the crowd, all pulled out knives at once. The one in front of the counter was even holding a gun!

The chaotic, fearful screams lasted only two or three seconds before everyone, held hostage by the robbers, huddled together with their heads in their hands.

Su Jianguo was also frightened, but compared to the panic of the others, he was clearly much calmer.

His position wasn’t far from the door, but the entrance was blocked by two robbers.

Fighting them head-on was definitely not an option. After weighing the pros and cons, he had to temporarily abandon any plans of resistance.

“Put all the money in this bag! Don’t try any tricks, or I’ll blow your brains out!”

No one dared to resist the brutality of the robbers, so the bank staff could only comply.

On Su Jianguo’s side, there was also a robber holding a black bag, making them hand over their money and valuables one by one.

Many people were trembling with fear; there was no desire left to resist.

“Hurry up!”

The robber urged them impatiently, clearly keeping an eye on the time.

When it reached Su Jianguo, he handed over his watch and money, but he didn’t expect the robber to spot the chain hanging around his neck at a glance.

“Hand over the necklace too!”

The knife gleamed coldly in front of him.

Su Jianguo’s expression changed, and he instinctively covered the necklace inside his clothes with his hand.

“This isn’t anything valuable, please show some mercy.”

Seeing him refuse, the robber’s expression turned even more vicious, and he slapped him across the face.

Everyone thought Su Jianguo wouldn’t risk his life against a robber for a necklace, but to their surprise, he fought back.

Man and robber wrestled together; Su Jianguo’s goal was very clear: to rush out!

The situation spiraled out of control.

*Bang!*

A deafening gunshot rang out, and accompanied by a terrified scream, a woman fell into a pool of blood, dying with her eyes wide open.

Su Jianguo’s heart trembled violently. No matter how bold he was, seeing this scene with his own eyes made him tremble completely. He lost the ability to resist and was fiercely trampled to the ground by the robbers.

The robber who fired the gun had a ferocious face. Just as he was about to shout for a retreat while carrying the bag full of money, the police patrolling the street outside quickly surrounded the place because of the gunshot.

The lead robber immediately grabbed the woman closest to him, pressing the muzzle of his gun against her head.

The others understood immediately upon seeing this, and Su Jianguo was dragged up to become one of the hostages.

The street, which had been crowded with onlookers, cleared out in fear as the robbers emerged, everyone terrified that they would be taken hostage if they didn’t run fast enough.

“Don’t move! You are surrounded! Drop your weapons and surrender!”

Su Jianguo recognized the familiar voice; even without looking, he knew who was leading the team, and his heart sank to his throat.

Su Yao stood at the very front, his face so gloomy it could drip water as he faced the gang of robbers.

That such a heinous robbery case could happen within his jurisdiction was a direct affront to his principles.

However, when he saw that Su Jianguo was among the hostages, his emotions instantly flared.

He didn’t dare look at Su Jianguo for even a second longer, fearing the robbers would notice something and use even more extreme measures against him.

“Back off, or I’ll kill them!” the lead robber shouted at the top of his lungs, ready to pull the trigger at any second.

Although Su Yao was desperate to save them, he could only follow the other party’s demands, not daring to make any further moves.

Watching the robbers walk away with the hostages, the air all around seemed to freeze.

“Don’t follow us, or they all die!”

The robber left behind a threat and gradually increased the distance between them and Su Yao.

Only after retreating beyond the range of police fire did the robbers start to run quickly.

“Pursue!” Su Yao gave the order and was the first to rush out.

Su Jianguo was half-dragged and half-pulled into a small alley. He realized that this group of robbers had clearly planned their escape route; the moment they shook off the police, they split into three groups and fled in different directions.

And he was unluckily held by the lead robber and two burly men.

These desperate criminals would likely kill them to silence them once they were out of the city.

He wasn’t afraid of death, but he had only just brought his daughter back, and he hadn’t even fulfilled his responsibilities as a father for a single day.

He suddenly felt some regret for not listening to Su Yan. If only he hadn’t left the factory today.

“Keep moving, or I’ll blow your head off!”

Noticing his hesitation, the threat became even more severe.

This alley was extremely remote, without even a passerby. As long as they got outside, there would be people waiting to pick them up, and they would be able to escape successfully.

Just as they were less than a few dozen meters away, a sudden gust of wind whipped through the alley.

The wind came so strangely that before anyone could react, their eyes were blinded by the sand and dust.
