Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Bandits
"Excessive?" Ling Feng sneered, "I donât think anything was excessive. Just now there was a mosquito on Zheng Xinyiâs face, and all I did was help her swat it away! Isnât that right, Classmate Zheng Xinyi?"
Under Ling Fengâs gaze, Zheng Xinyi couldnât help but shiver and said hesitantly, "I... yes, thatâs what happened!"
Xiao Peng frowned. He didnât understand why Zheng Xinyi would react like that. Could it be that she was being blackmailed by this boy? However, Xiao Peng had now shifted his focus to Liu Tingyu, so he no longer cared much about Zheng Xinyi.
"Slick talker, youâll never amount to anything!" Xiao Peng said indifferently, "A little thug who hits women, I canât imagine how he became a friend of Classmate Liu! By the way, Classmate Liu, petty men are not worth befriending!"
As he spoke, Xiao Pengâs eyes flickered with disdain, then he comforted Zheng Xinyi, wrapping his arm around her waist, "Come on, Brother Xiao will buy you the latest LoveFone smartphone."
"Ling Feng, you were impulsive just now!" Worry flashed across Liu Tingyuâs face, "This Xiao Peng is probably not an ordinary person. What if he takes his anger out on you..."
Ling Feng said indifferently, "Who asked for Zheng Xinyiâs mouth to be so foul? If I hear her bad-mouth you again, Iâll continue to slap her!"
A touch of gratitude appeared on Liu Tingyuâs face, "Why trouble yourself over her? Besides, Iâve long regarded her as nothing more than a buzzing fly; no matter how she blabbers, it wonât change any facts!"
On the other side, Xiao Peng was picking out a smartphone for Zheng Xinyi but noticed that Liu Tingyu wasnât paying attention to them, which made him anxious.
It seemed Liu Tingyu wasnât the kind of girl who could be easily wooed. Faced with a girl who wasnât materialistic, Xiao Peng was at a loss for how to approach her for a moment!
"But itâs precisely such girls who are more captivating!" Xiao Peng gazed fondly at Liu Tingyuâs figure.
"Brother Xiao, how about this one?" Zheng Xinyi held up a pink LoveFone in her hand and said, "The new model with high specs, and itâs less than ten thousand."
"If you like it, just buy it!" Xiao Peng took out his phone, "Iâll make a call, you just swipe your card!"
...
Upon Liu Tingyuâs insistence, Ling Feng ended up buying just an ordinary Huaxing G20 phone. Fortunately, he could use his Swiss bank card here, otherwise, he really would have needed to make a trip to the bank first.
Having reissued her original card, Liu Tingyu first stored Ling Fengâs mobile number.
"Letâs go, letâs head to the bank now!" said Liu Tingyu cheerfully.
They arrived at Huaxia Bank, and a friendly staff member came up to greet them, "Hello there, may I know what service you require?"
"A deposit!" Ling Feng said flatly.
"To make a deposit, please take a number here!" the staff member offered warmly.
Ling Feng glanced at the people sitting and filling the chairs, his brows furrowing at the thought of how long the wait could be.
"Wait, the amount Iâm depositing is quite large; can I use the VIP channel?" Ling Feng asked.
"A large amount?" The female staff member blinked in surprise, "For our Huaxia VIP service, you need to deposit at least one million."
Ling Feng smiled faintly, "One million, huh? Thatâs no problem!"
"Then let me arrange the VIP service for you!"
...
As Ling Feng and Liu Tingyu disappeared into the VIP room, Xiao Peng and Zheng Xinyi appeared inside the bank.
"Brother Xiao, there are so many people today, why are we at the bank?" Zheng Xinyi asked with some confusion, "I was planning to check out the latest fashion collections!"
Xiao Peng said, "I need to use some money these days, so today Iâm going to withdraw some in advance. You wait here for a bit, Iâll go out and make a call!"
Zheng Xinyi fiddled with her newly bought iPhone and nodded.
After leaving the bank, Xiao Peng made a call, "Howâs the preparation coming along?"
"Donât worry, big brother. Weâre already lying in ambush near the bank! As soon as that Pretty Boy comes out, our brothers will give him a warm welcome. We definitely wonât disappoint you!"
"Remember, donât hurt the girl with him," Xiao Peng said indifferently. "I want her to know that society isnât that simple. I want to make that little punk think twice."
Xiao Peng had a simple plan: to have his men beat up Ling Feng thoroughly and then, at the right moment, to appear as the hero who saves the beauty! Although it was a cliché, the contrast would surely make Liu Tingyu realize that only with power and money could one truly stand firm in society!
Meanwhile, in the VIP room, Ling Feng opened the suitcase, and stacks of crisp US Dollars nearly dazzled the staff around him!
"Convert all this money into Huaxia currency!" Ling Feng said, "Ting Yu, whereâs your Huaxia Bank card? Let me borrow it."
Liu Tingyu handed it over with a puzzled look.
Ling Feng gave the bank card to the staff member, "Deposit all this money into this card!"
"What!" Liu Tingyu exclaimed in surprise. "Ling Feng, how can you...?"
"You know I havenât gotten my ID card yet!" Ling Feng said. "First put it in your card, and when I get my ID and bank card, you can transfer it to me, please help me out!"
"This..." Liu Tingyu was amused and a little exasperated. A suitcase full of US Dollars, converted into Huaxia currency, amounted to several million!
"Arenât you afraid Iâll run away with the money?" Liu Tingyu flatly refused. "The amount is too large. I still think..."
"Ting Yu!" Ling Feng interrupted her, saying, "Iâm just using your card to deposit the money! Donât you trust your own integrity?"
A surge of emotion flashed in Liu Tingyuâs eyes. Ling Fengâs unconditional trust shook her heart.
"Hmph, you bad guy! If you bully me in the future, I will not return the money!" Liu Tingyu said with a playful tone.
Ling Feng slapped his forehead, "Darn, doesnât this give you leverage over me? What a blunder!"
Over a million US Dollars, converted into Huaxia currency, was a whopping eight million!
The staff member handling Ling Fengâs transaction was also beaming with joy; with just Ling Fengâs transaction alone, there was a handsome commission!
"Letâs go, the money is deposited. Letâs go have lunch!" Ling Feng tossed the bank card back to Liu Tingyu and stretched lazily.
Liu Tingyu clumsily caught the bank card. This was an eight-million-card! Honestly, she had never seen so much money in her life!
No sooner had they stepped out of the VIP room than Xiao Peng saw Liu Tingyu and Ling Feng, "I was finally waiting for you guys!"
But at that moment, there was a loud clang as the bankâs main door burst open, and four men dressed in black with masks on their faces rushed in: "This is a robbery, everybody get the fuck down!"
After a brief moment of shock, people realized that the bank was being robbed!
"Ah!" Someone cried out in fear, and the bankâs security rushed over quickly.
Bang! A gunshot rang out, and the thigh of the security guard at the forefront was shot.
The lead robber said coldly, "The money belongs to the state, but your lives are your own. If you want to die, Iâll grant your wish!"
