The camera was covered.
The live stream was pitch black.
The netizens couldn't see anything.
They could only hear the sound of water flowing from the bathroom.
The netizens were all complaining that Xu Mo was eating alone.
Not only did he not share the meat with them,
but he also didn't let them have a sip of the soup?
Isn't this a bit unreasonable?
"Brothers, I'm done."
"?? What are you talking about? Done with what?"
"Bro, you're awesome, you can even get off to this??"
...
In the bathroom.
Xu Mo, Yang Jingxuan, and Zhou Qiaoqiao were huddled together.
They spoke very softly.
There was also the sound of running water in the bathroom.
So the netizens in the live stream and the program team couldn't hear their discussion.
"Are you trying to feint to the east but attack the west?" Yang Jingxuan looked at Xu Mo and said, "You're saying you want to rob the cash transport vehicle, but you actually intend to rob the gold bars in the bank?"
Xu Mo nodded.
"I don't quite trust the program team. They won't just stand by and watch me take things that are worth more than they expected. As soon as they find out about this, in order to control the budget, they will definitely inform the investigation team. Of course I won't rob the cash transport vehicle. I'm just saying that for the program team to hear!"
"If they think I want to rob the cash transport vehicle, they will definitely focus their efforts there. This will make them neglect the bank side, which will be good for our next operation to rob the gold bars."
"Also, robbing cash is too troublesome. Taking too much is also inconvenient to carry. Gold bars are more practical. A 1,000 gram gold bar..."
Saying this, Xu Mo paused and gestured with his hand.
"Is just this big. I checked the price of investment gold bars today. It's over 380 yuan per gram."
"A 1,000 gram gold bar is worth over 380,000 yuan. Compared to cash, gold of the same value takes up less space and is worth more and easier to carry."
"The program team didn't transfer cash to trick us, did they? Fine, I won't rob cash anymore. I'll rob something more valuable, gold bars!"
"What if... the program team transferred both the cash and the gold bars?", Zhou Qiaoqiao asked.
"It's possible," Xu Mo nodded. "Can't you just hack into the surveillance system to see if the gold bars are still there or not? The bank must keep the gold bars in a monitored location to ensure security."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiaoqiao suddenly felt enlightened.
"I'll go get my computer."
Zhou Qiaoqiao took off her shoes.
She tiptoed on the floor without making a sound, and brought in the computer from outside into the bathroom.
She placed the computer on the sink.
And started operating it.
Soon, she hacked into a bank's surveillance system.
"The gold bars really haven't been moved!", Zhou Qiaoqiao excitedly pointed at the computer screen.
Xu Mo also breathed a sigh of relief after glancing at the computer screen.
It looks like the program team really did overlook this.
They only transferred the cash reserves in the bank.
As for the gold bars, they were completely untouched.
Since the gold bars were still there, what Xu Mo had to think about next was how to rob the gold bars from the bank and get away safely.
Just then, Yang Jingxuan tugged at the corner of Xu Mo's clothes.
"I suddenly thought that to sell the gold bars from the bank, you'd need to take the certificates too. And the program team didn't say you're allowed to rob gold bars either. What if they don't honor it, what then?"
It has to be said.
Although Yang Jingxuan was a hostage, she had really opened up possibilities.
How was this like a hostage?
She was practically the robber's dear cotton-padded jacket.
A hostage who wholeheartedly thinks for the robber is not easy to find!
Just as Yang Jingxuan finished speaking, Xu Mo calmly said.
"The program team also didn't say robbing gold bars was not allowed. I only have one agreement with the program team, and that is, no matter how much I take, it's mine to keep."
"So the matter of the bank gold bar certificates will definitely be handled by the program team."
"Also, robbing cash is robbing, and robbing gold bars is also robbing. In any case it's robbing the bank. What's the difference between robbing cash or gold bars? As long as it's taken from the bank, it's mine."
Yang Jingxuan fell silent for two seconds, then became excited.
"...Why don't we rob two tellers to be your wives?"
Xu Mo: "???"
Zhou Qiaoqiao: "???"
Well now.
This hostage was suggesting the robber kidnap two tellers to be his wives!?
Those who knew would know Yang Jingxuan was a hostage.
Those who didn't know would think she was one of the robbers!
After all, what hostage would excitedly suggest to the robber that he kidnap two more people?
This was really bizarre, bizarreness opening the door for more bizarreness, all the way to maximun bizarreness!
Of course, Xu Mo had no plans to rob any tellers.
In his opinion, gold bars were more practical.
However, he didn't plan to rob too many either.
He figured taking a few would be about right.
"A 1,000 gram gold bar isn't too big. We don't need to take too many, just 30-50 is good enough," said Xu Mo.
The bank's investment gold bars were about 380 yuan per gram.
A 1,000 gram bar was worth 380,000 yuan.
Ten bars was 3.8 million yuan.
Thirty bars was 11.4 million yuan.
Fifty bars was 19 million yuan!
How much does 19 million yuan in cash weigh?
437 kilograms!
Just the weight alone was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Not to mention the 19 million yuan in cash would take up a sizable volume and be hard to carry.
The same value in gold at 19 million yuan
would be far more preferable.
The weight would only be 100 kilograms, and the volume very small.
No matter how one calculates it, it's much better than robbing cash!
...
As Xu Mo expected.
After thinking it over for a long time, Song Yixue finally decided to call the investigation team.
In preparation to defend against Xu Mo these days.
Most of the banks in Hangzhou didn't have much cash reserves in their vaults.
The cash these banks needed daily was transported over by an armored cash transport vehicle.
So on this cash transport vehicle, there was a good amount of money.
If Xu Mo really robbed this cash transport vehicle, the program team would lose big.
"Beep... Beep... Beep..."
The call quickly connected.
Song Yixue got straight to the point.
"Hello, Team Leader Han? Xu Mo next plans to rob the cash transport vehicle."
On the other end of the call, Han Fei was stunned.
His expression was a bit unnatural.
What's the meaning of this?
Calling to inform against Xu Mo, do they feel we don't have the capability to catch him? Although it's true they've never managed to catch Xu Mo.
But directly calling to inform, isn't that a bit too insulting!?
Isn't this openly looking down on people?
Just as Han Fei was brewing anger.
Song Yixue spoke again.
"Team Leader Han, don't misunderstand, I don't mean to belittle your team. I just want to ask you for a favor. Don't let Xu Mo rob the cash transport vehicle. Our program team's funding can't handle that kind of loss..." If he really manages to rob the vehicle, what then?"
"Also, the transport staff in the vehicle are armed. They'll surely use excessive force. If Xu Mo gets injured, that's not good either... So, don't you think, for Xu Mo's safety, and considering our program team's funding, maybe your investigation team could stop Xu Mo?"
