Chapter 135 Targeted Robbery

Chapter 136 Targeted Robbery

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

The gang leader spoke to Zhang Qixian in fluent Chinese.

Zhou Xin's expression hardened, and he immediately realized that this group of people were after Zhang Qixian!

Zhang Qixian clearly realized this as well, and frowned, asking, "You know me?"

The bandit leader laughed heartily: "Which famous entrepreneur in Southeast China doesn't I know?"

"What exactly do you want?" Zhang Qixian remained calm and went straight to the point.

"As expected of a worldly and sophisticated entrepreneur, he remains so calm even in this situation."

The gang leader pointed a gun at his head and said, "It's simple. We know your company's overseas account recently received a payment of twenty million US dollars. Please lend us this money!"

Zhang Qixian's expression changed drastically. How did these people know so much?

He immediately realized that there must be an inside agent of this group in his company's overseas business division!

It seems these guys had been plotting against me all along; their target from the start was the money in my account.

Zhou Xin quickly deduced this conclusion from the robbers' conversation: the robbers had been planning this for a long time, just waiting for Zhang Qixian to go to the United States.

As for the other people in the restaurant, they were simply collateral damage.

Zhang Qixian remained silent and did not take any immediate action.

This sum of money represents almost all of the company's revenue from its US operations over the past five years. It is crucial to the survival of the company's overseas business and even its future.

If he were to lose this money, he would undoubtedly suffer a severe blow, even shaking his foundations, and risking a broken financial chain and bankruptcy.

"Mr. Zhang, it seems you're hesitant. My companions don't have much patience."

The gang leader then pressed the gun against his head again.

Zhang Qixian frowned. He was usually decisive and efficient, but at this moment he was finding it difficult to make a decision.

Seeing that he remained motionless, the robber was about to make a move when his eyes suddenly lit up and he saw Zhang Jianing squatting next to Zhang Qixian.

"Is this young lady your daughter? I just saw you two arguing. She's really beautiful, and a mixed-race beauty at that."

In an instant, Zhang Jianing felt the lecherous gazes of the robbers all directed at her, which frightened her so much that she clung even closer to Zhou Xin.

"Don't touch her!" Zhang Qixian's face turned ashen, his previous composure gone.

"If you waste any more time, I think we wouldn't mind raping you while we're at it!"

The bandit leader didn't seem as eager as his men; his goal was still to force Zhang Qixian to submit.

"Okay, I promise you, you won't touch her!"

Zhang Qixian knew there was no way to salvage the situation; if it dragged on any longer, his daughter might really be insulted by these people.

"That's more like it! I can tell you're a good father!"

The robber leader took out the equipment in his hand and gestured for Zhang Qi to operate it first.

Zhou Xin had been calmly observing everything around him, while secretly memorizing the position of each robber.

At that moment, six armed robbers surrounded them, including the robber leader, and one of the robbers happened to be standing next to him.

The robber was carrying a rifle, but also had a pistol tucked into his waistband.

And that pistol was within Zhou Xin's reach!

However, this pistol only has seven bullets, which is not enough to take down all the robbers present at once.

The robbers clearly thought they had the whole situation under control and were completely unprepared, their attention entirely focused on Zhang Qixian.

Although Zhou Xin was a little nervous, he had already made up his mind.

These guys aren't guaranteed to let them go after they succeed.

Moreover, he had clearly seen several robbers looking at Zhang Jianing with predatory eyes. Once Zhang Qixian completed his operation, they might act recklessly without any restraint.

The only option is to fight tooth and nail!

This situation is very similar to that of the drug den in the South American jungle, but there are even more enemies and the situation is even more dangerous.

At this moment, Zhang Qixian had already logged into his account as instructed by the robbers, preparing to complete the purchase of bearer gold bar certificates.

The gang leader kept a close eye on Zhang Qixian's phone, while the other robbers waited casually for the ordeal to end.

Zhou Xin took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, put his left arm around Zhang Jianing beside him, and drew the pistol from the robber's waist with lightning speed with his right hand.

Bang bang bang bang!

Six shots were fired in quick succession, and the six robbers surrounding them fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the robber's gun had bullets, but only six bullets were loaded.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. It wasn't until the sixth robber fell that the other robbers reacted and began firing at the crowd as if by reflex.

Zhou Xin grabbed Zhang Jianing and rolled to the side of another fallen robber, where he drew his gun again.

At this moment, as the robbers opened fire, the crowd screamed and scattered, with people falling to the ground, shot one after another.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhou Xin fired again!

"Damn it, there he is!"

After dealing with three more robbers, the remaining four finally realized the source of the attack and began firing at Zhou Xin.

But Zhou Xin was prepared. He grabbed Zhang Jianing and rolled around, hiding behind a piano stand on the sidelines.

Bullets rained down on the piano table, even making the piano make a sound.

Zhang Jianing held Zhou Xin tightly, her face turning pale with fright.

"Lie here and don't move!"

After Zhou Xin finished speaking, he shoved Zhang Jianing aside, leaned out from behind the piano, and fired four more shots.

One shot, one kill; clean and efficient!

At this point, the robbers upstairs have been completely dealt with.

However, several robbers who were keeping watch downstairs heard the unusual activity upstairs and rushed up.

Zhou Xin's gun only had one bullet left.

Therefore, he can no longer hide and must take the initiative.

The few people who weren't shot by the robbers had clearly lost their minds and were desperately heading towards the stairwell.

Their figures had barely disappeared at the stairwell when cries and gunshots rang out again.

Clearly, the robbers downstairs had already reached the stairs.

The people rushing downstairs slowed their ascent slightly, and Zhou Xin seized the opportunity to pick up a gun again after leaving the piano stand.

He raised his gun and aimed at the stairwell, and as soon as the lead robber showed his head, he fired a shot.

The robber who was shot in the head fell backward, accompanied by a rolling sound, presumably the robbers behind him were also tumbled down the stairs.

"Uncle Zhang, quick, hide with Ningning!"

Zhou Xin spoke calmly and composedly to Zhang Qixian.

After the robbers fired their guns, Zhang Qixian didn't run away in panic like the others. Instead, he tackled Jia Liang, who was about to get up and run away, and made him lie on the ground.

Clearly, he still retained his rationality, knowing that running around would only make him a target for attack.

Upon hearing Zhou Xin's instructions, Zhang Qixian did not hesitate and immediately pulled the terrified Jia Liang behind the piano table.

Zhang Jianing made way for them, while covering her mouth and nose in disgust.

A stench assaulted the nostrils; it turned out that Jia Liang had been so frightened that he had soiled himself.
