As for the eldest brother, who had always been revered as a deity, he now stood there, motionless as if someone had immobilized his acupuncture points.

What left Fourth Brother dumbfounded was the fact that everyone inside the bank lay on the ground, daring not to move, except for a youth who looked rather unremarkable, casually sitting there with his legs crossed and squinting his eyes, staring intently at him.

"This..."

Seeing this, Fourth Brother was shocked. As the sound of police sirens grew closer outside, he became so frantic that he could not concern himself with his comrades and started to run out.

"Heh, since you've come in, there's no need to leave so hastily, right?" Fourth Brother tried to flee in panic, but suddenly he heard a cold laugh from the youth behind him.

Whoosh!

Immediately after, a fierce whooshing sound sped towards him, as Ling Zhenfei casually threw a stool next to him, knocking Fourth Brother down at the doorway.

No sooner had Fourth Brother been knocked unconscious than several police cars arrived outside. Dozens of fully armed SWAT officers jumped out with guns and surrounded the bank securely.

"Don't move, police! You're surrounded, drop your weapons and raise your hands to surrender!" A heroic policewoman shouted into a megaphone at the people inside the bank.

However, no matter how long she shouted, there was no response from inside the bank.

The policewoman took a distant look at the interior of the bank, unable to comprehend the situation, then issued commands to the SWAT team around her to encircle and enter from all sides.

"Hey, Police Sister, stop shouting, the robbers are all asleep; come on in!" Just as the policewoman was about to lead her team to seal off the bank, she heard a lazy voice from inside.

What's the situation?

Hearing this voice, which was quite out of sync with the tense atmosphere, the policewoman felt bewildered. She quickly exchanged glances with the SWAT officers, finding that everyone was equally puzzled.

The robbers are all asleep? What does this mean?

This policewoman was Han Lian, the captain of the city police's SWAT team. She had received the alert and quickly led a team to the scene. Little did she know she would encounter this situation upon arrival!

Han Lian was still quite young. Although she hadn't been in the force for long, she had been counted among the elite at the police academy.

She was quick-thinking and agile, efficient and organized in her work. Yet faced with the current situation, Han Lian was completely baffled.

"Captain, what should we do?" A SWAT officer peeked into the bank, asking Han Lian in a puzzled voice.

"Stay alert, I'll go in and have a look!" Han Lian also looked into the bank and after giving an order, she walked towards the lobby with two SWAT officers.

Upon entering the bank and seeing the robbers knocked to the ground, Han Lian could hardly believe her eyes.

Seeing that each of the robbers had a gun, Han Lian knew they were violent criminals. However, three or four ferocious robbers had been silently taken down. Who could have such formidable skills?

"Take them all away!" Seeing that the robbers were all subdued, Han Lian sighed in relief and waved to the incoming SWAT officers.

"Old sir, who subdued them? Can you tell me exactly what happened?"

Han Lian glanced around the bank lobby but did not find anyone with a heroic demeanor. She then helped up the elderly security guard.

"It was... that young man... Hey, where did he go?"

The elderly security guard had clearly seen how Ling Zhenfei had come to his aid and swiftly subdued the robbers. He instantly nodded and pointed to where Ling Zhenfei had been sitting.

However...

He had clearly seen Ling Zhenfei sitting there firmly, but now, as he looked up, Ling Zhenfei's figure was nowhere to be seen in the entire bank lobby.

What's going on? How could a person just disappear into thin air?

At that moment, not only was the old security guard harboring such doubts, but the rest of the customers and staff who had reacted were also utterly confused.

Who had subdued the robbers?

Seeing everyone's astonished expressions, Han Lian was too stunned to describe her own feelings.

She had just been the first to lead her team rushing in, and she hadn't seen anyone leave the bank. Moreover, there was no back door in the bank...

"Look, the hero... outside!" Just as Han Lian was shocked, she saw someone shouting and pointing towards the door.

Han Lian quickly looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a young figure swiftly passing by, hopping into a taxi, and speeding away...

"Captain, should we chase after him?" The SWAT team, too, was amazed at the person's speed and looked at Han Lian for instructions.

"No need, since the person doesn't want to be recognized, we shouldn't insist!"

But Han Lian held back the SWAT officers, her eyes capturing the swiftly disappearing figure as if it were a replayed film.

Actually, she knew there was no need for her to pursue; once they accessed the bank's video recordings, they would be able to identify the anonymous hero.

...

Ling Zhenfei fled the bank as if escaping, looking at the money in his bag that he hadn't had time to deposit and could only bitterly smile in silence.

Having always lived frugally, visits to the bank were rare for him. Yet today, when he finally took a bag of money to deposit, he encountered robbers.

To encounter robbers was one thing, but he couldn't help intervening and ended up throwing them off completely.

Ling Zhenfei didn't want to be bothered by the police, even if the policewoman was attractive.

Since the money couldn't be deposited, Ling Zhenfei decided not to deposit it at all and took a taxi straight back to the village entrance.

Returning to the village, Ling Zhenfei didn't even stop at his own home but directly ran towards He Lingxiu's house.

In the courtyard of the He Family, He Lingxiu was brewing medicine for her father following the prescription Ling Zhenfei had provided.

Even while brewing medicine, she sat anxiously, her brows furrowed in worry.

She was worried about Ling Zhenfei, having made several trips to the Ling Family's home. But according to Zhou Yun, Ling Zhenfei had gone to the city and hadn't returned yet.

After all, the $110,000 she owed was a huge sum for any family in the village. To expect Brother Afei to gather such an amount so quickly was indeed asking too much of him.

"Axiu, brewing medicine requires careful attention to the heat. If you burn the fire so high, even if you don't overcook the herbs, you'll lose their medicinal properties,"

Just as He Lingxiu was worriedly brewing the medicine, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.

Ah!

Upon hearing this voice, He Lingxiu's spirits lifted instantly, and she quickly turned and threw herself into the arms of the newcomer: "Brother Afei, you're back!"

The person who entered was Ling Zhenfei.

He composed himself, striving to suppress the urges that he shouldn't have, while comforting He Lingxiu.

"Brother Afei, you're back? Is it really... Brother Afei, don't worry about the money, I'll figure it out myself..."

He Lingxiu suppressed her excitement, looking affectionately at Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei's quick return, in He Lingxiu's eyes, surely meant he hadn't raised the money. However, not wanting to embarrass Ling Zhenfei, she deliberately kept her tone light.
