Chapter 9: Encountering an Emergency
Lin Shi waited in the lobby for a while, and a woman with a certain charm and wearing a uniform came out.
He glanced at the badge on the woman's chest: Account Manager, Chu Xiaodie.
"Are you Mr. Lin?" Chu Xiaodie smiled appropriately and said politely, "Please follow me."
Lin Shi nodded and followed Chu Xiaodie to the VIP window.
Chu Xiaodie first explained the purchase process of physical gold bars to Lin Shi.
When buying physical gold, if the gold price does not rise by more than a dozen yuan, it is equivalent to a loss.
This is because there are additional processing fees and service fees to be added during the purchase.
But Lin Shi is not buying gold for investment, and a loss of a dozen yuan is not a big problem for him.
"I have already understood. Let's go through the procedures now."
Selecting specifications, opening an account, and filling out forms.
Apart from the customer manager's gaze, which made Lin Shi a bit uncomfortable, the rest of the steps went smoothly.
Lin Shi's deposit of 25.4 million, at today's instant international gold price of 412/g, after deducting the processing and service fees, can purchase 59 bars of 1000g gold.
The 1000g was chosen by Lin Shi himself; since he was going to sell them back anyway, there was no need to choose any particular style.
A 1000g bar is also more convenient for upgrading, only two are needed to upgrade to the next level of space.
After purchasing the gold bars, one can choose to store them in the bank or take them home.
Naturally, Lin Shi's request was to take them home.
Chu Xiaodie counted out 59 gold bars from the vault.
Laying them out one by one on the counter.
Her gaze towards Lin Shi also became increasingly eager.
Being able to invest so much in gold, Lin Shi is definitely her big client.
Thinking of the commission equivalent to two months' salary that she would get from completing this order, Chu Xiaodie found the young man in front of her more and more pleasing to the eye.
Lin Shi averted his gaze to look elsewhere.
When he brings the replicated gold bars back tomorrow, this woman will probably want to swallow him whole.
Scanning the bank's lobby, Lin Shi's gaze suddenly focused.
He noticed that four people in the crowd were a bit off.
These four were dressed normally and seemingly casually sitting in different parts of the bank, waiting in line.
Even the bank security guards couldn't see anything unusual.
But Lin Shi had lived through the death piles of the apocalypse; in the eight years of the apocalypse, he had seen many villains and killed countless people.
He could immediately tell that these four people had a murderous aura!
In this era of peace, how could ordinary people have a murderous aura?!
Could it be?
If he doesn't come, then nothing happens, but as soon as he comes, he encounters a bank robbery?
Lin Shi silently recalled whether there was any news of bank robbery in Hai City before the apocalypse in his previous life, but he couldn't remember any after thinking for a while.
Has some butterfly effect occurred since he came back?
Seems to be feeling Lin Shi's gaze, one of them turned his head, and Lin Shi quickly turned back his gaze.
Hai City is one of the safest cities in Xia Country, and as the largest bank in Hai City, someone actually dares to rob here.
These people are either extremely vicious or have a hole in their brain.
Lin Shi believes it's the former through the murderous aura on the four people.
At this moment, Lin Shi is sitting in front of the VIP counter, several meters away from the ordinary counter, with obstructions, and others cannot see what is on his counter.
Lin Shi quickly whispered to Chu Xiaodie, who was still counting the gold:
"Wait, I won't buy it today."
He doesn't know when these four people came in, and he was very conspicuous with his suitcase before, and he came to the VIP counter, maybe he has already been targeted!
This is all his wealth and life; if it is really robbed, he would have nowhere to cry.
"What?!" Chu Xiaodie thought she had heard wrong.
"I said, I won't buy it for now. I'll come back another day to buy," Lin Shi lowered his voice: "I suspect someone is going to rob the bank."
However, when Chu Xiaodie heard that Lin Shi was not buying, she immediately felt that Lin Shi was making fun of her, after messing around for a long time, the gold bars are all taken out, and he tells me he's not buying?
Her commission is gone?
As for Lin Shi's claim that someone is robbing the bank, that's really a joke.
This is the head office of Xian Guo Bank, and no villain has ever dared to rob here.
Chu Xiaodie was very angry, and her voice also increased:
"Sir, your transaction has been successful, and the transaction amount has been deducted. If you want to return it..."
"Return it!"
Lin Shi interrupted the rest of Chu Xiaodie's words; he now hopes that this account manager will put the gold bars away quickly.
Chu Xiaodie was so angry that her face turned blue.
She did not take the gold bars back but wanted to continue arguing with Lin Shi.
"Mr. Lin, these gold bars are already yours. If you want to return them, it is equivalent to letting the gold bars go through the repurchase process, and you will lose the processing fee and service fee."
Lin Shi's focus changed: "You mean, if it is robbed now, it's not mine?"
At this time, the security guard also noticed something and came over.
VIP windows usually deal with large transactions, and seeing someone suddenly approaching there, the security guard subconsciously became alert.
The security guard walked to the bald man in front and blocked his way:
"Hello, that side is trading, please line up behind."
The bald man showed an apologetic expression, seemingly about to bow to apologize.
Lin Shi's pupils shrank abruptly.
A black pistol quickly emerged from the bald man's pocket, aimed at the security guard's abdomen, and there was a "bang" of a gunshot.
The security guard fell to the ground in disbelief, blood gushing from his abdomen, staining the uniform that should have been clean and tidy.
The next second, the other three villains also pulled out their pistols!
They each fired a shot at the security guards who were taking out their electric batons.
The sound of gunfire and screams filled the entire lobby.
Then came the piercing alarm.
A bank worker sitting at the counter pressed the alarm at the first time.
And Lin Shi's gaze met with the bald man's.
Seeing the greed and murderous intent in the bald man's eyes, Lin Shi directly squatted on the ground.
He put his hands on his head, moving himself to the corner.
If you ask him what to do when encountering danger, Lin Shi would tell you with certainty, fight if you can win, run if you can't fight, and submit if you can't run.
They have four guns, and he is unarmed.
Stand up? Don't be ridiculous, isn't it better to be alive?
