Chapter 107 Reckless maneuvers, a brazen showdown, and a step-by-step harrowing plan (part 2)
Meanwhile, a Porsche valued at over a million emerged from the shopping mall’s underground garage exit. Executing a sharp drift, it seamlessly merged onto the main road, quickly surpassing other vehicles.
A smile crossed Wang Yun’s face. He had meticulously planned this route in advance, including the car switch. Finding a car in a shopping mall’s garage and making a quick change was all part of his strategy.
Once on the road, Wang Yun maintained a brisk pace of 60 kilometers per hour through the bustling city streets. This was quite a fast speed for such an environment. The car swiftly made its way to the second target in just under ten minutes.
“Keep going,” Wang Yun grinned, popping a piece of gum into his mouth. He parked the car to the side and confidently walked towards another Nancheng Bank branch. He fixed his gaze forward and blew a bubble.
Whoosh!
Behind him, Brother Hu and the team, armed and menacing, cigarettes dangling from their lips, exuded a fierce outlaw aura as they followed Wang Yun into the bank.
Bang! Bang!
“Nobody move! Hand over all the money, or you’re all dead!” Brother Hu bellowed as they entered.
This time, their operation was smoother than before. A single shot took out the security guard, then the rolling shutter door was slammed shut with a loud command.
The bank employees were initially taken aback but quickly gathered their wits. The bank manager, with hands raised, yelled out in response, “Don’t shoot, please! We’ll give you the money, just don’t hurt our customers or our staff!”
“Then hurry up and bring the money! If we don’t have a million in two minutes, you’re all ‘dead’!” Brother Hu’s face was a mask of cold fury as he thundered his demand.
“Yes, yes!”
“Hurry, give them the money!”
The Nancheng Bank staff sprang into action, cooperating to gather the cash. Wang Yun watched with a sly smile. He checked the time, anticipating that the program inspection team would soon make a move.
“Boss, we’ve got it!”
Five minutes later, Brother Hu approached Wang Yun, a large bag of money in hand, his face beaming with a victorious smile.
“Let’s go,” Wang Yun said with a smile. The group swiftly opened the rolling shutter door and headed out.
“Onto the next one.”
They climbed into the car and immediately drove off.

“Big Brother and his team are so audacious. They blatantly robbed banks in such a direct way, brutal manner?”
“Is this happening abroad? Is this Gotham City? They’re unbelievably brazen!”
“Big Brother must be taking revenge on Nancheng Bank. Haha, they’ve already robbed two of their branches. Incredible!”
“They’re the epitome of peerless bandit, so fierce!”
Viewers in the live stream were filled with astonishment as they watched Wang Yun rob another bank. It was such audacity. Robbing banks one after another in broad daylight.
“Are they really this daring? Unchecked and unbridled! Seriously, is this Gotham City?”
As Wang Yun and his team departed, this branch of Nancheng Bank also immediately reported the incident to the program task force.
“We’ve received an alert. Nancheng Bank on Qingshan Road was raided by Wang Yun and his team, with a loss of around one million, and a security guard was shot dead.”
The program task force quickly received another update from Nancheng Bank.
“Nancheng Bank on Qingshan Road? Did Wang Yun and his group enter a garage and switch cars?” Wu Yaoming’s expression turned grim as he processed the news.
“Yes, they switched to a Porsche,” Ames confirmed, monitoring the situation closely.
“This man swiftly robbed two banks with such audacity. Is he challenging us?” Kolyev spoke with a frosty demeanor. “It’s not just about revenge against Nancheng Bank, is he trying to insult us too?”
Then, from the communicator came Sniper’s voice, “Captains, Wang Yun and his gang targeting Nancheng Bank suggests a pattern. Let’s identify their next likely target and quickly move in. It takes them a few minutes from entering a bank to leaving with the cash. These minutes are enough for us to find a sniping spot and take them down.”
“Alright, keep track of their Porsche. Also, if they move out of surveillance range, lock down the traffic in that area and monitor the road. Use the cameras to identify the people inside the car,” Wu Mingyu instantly responded to Sniper’s suggestion and issued a command.
“This operation is in the hands of the Snipers and Sky Eagles. Let the Sky Eagles hold back and let the Snipers position themselves first. Currently, Wang Yun probably doesn’t know we have snipers on our side. We have the advantage of surprise,” Wu Yaoming said, his eyes flashing with resolve.
Kolyev nodded in agreement.
“Everyone, stay focused on the surveillance. We need to anticipate Wang Yun’s next move,” Wu Mingyu declared, his eyes shining with icy determination. “Does he truly believe he can run rampant in Nancheng? Act without consequences? Does he think we are powerless against him?”
The five Captains, at this moment, felt a mix of anger and intense resolve. Their brazen crimes were a clear sign of disrespect. Such arrogance was unbearable.
“Yes, Captain,” the staff members promptly responded, their eyes fixed on the Porsche on the surveillance feed.
“We’re hacking into all shopping mall parking lot cameras, aiming to lock down their location completely,” a member of the Red Hacker Alliance informed.
The captains nodded in agreement. On the monitors, the Porsche was seen speeding and soon entered another parking lot.
“Wang Yun and his team have entered the parking lot. Keep a sharp eye on which car they switch to,” Wang Yue instructed, focusing intently on the monitors.
“Here they come, they’ve switched cars to this Bentley,” Wu Mingyu quickly said, observing a car exiting and noting the vague figures inside.
“He’s heading south. About four kilometers away, there’s a Nancheng Bank branch on Yunxi Road. I’d say there’s a 70% chance that’s their next target,” Wu Mingyu speculated, recalling the geographic layout of Nancheng Bank’s branches.
“Understood, we’re en route to the Yunxi Road branch at top speed,” came the response from the Sniper team over the communicator. “Please check the surveillance around the Yunxi Road branch for any suitable sniping vantage points.”
“No problem. We’re pulling up surveillance around the Nancheng Bank branch on Yunxi Road now,” came the swift reply.
Orders were rapidly relayed within the program task force, everyone working in unison towards their goal.
Simultaneously, the program inspection teams raced in their vehicles, but their speed was limited by the bustling city traffic. Despite this, Wang Yun’s car continued to move swiftly.
The snipers, however, on motorcycles, were able to keep pace. In the city’s tight streets, motorcycles held an edge.
Inside the Bentley, Wang Yun drove with intensity. Five minutes later, he smirked and suddenly changed course.
“Huh? Captain, Wang Yun has unexpectedly changed direction. He’s not heading towards the Yunxi Road branch anymore,” a staff member monitoring Wang Yun’s vehicle reported back to the task force.
“Changed directions?” Ying Yuezi, observing the situation, mused, “Makes sense. Wang Yun is clever. He probably realized we were tracking him, so he’s leading us on a wild goose chase. He’s taken a different route now. If I’m not mistaken, he might be heading to the Jiuyunli branch.”
“Sniper team, Wang Yun has altered his course. He could be heading towards the Jiuyunli branch,” Wu Mingyu quickly informed the snipers.
“Got it,” came the prompt reply from the sniper team.
“Additionally, let’s deploy people to other Nancheng Bank branches as a precaution,” Kolyev suggested.
“Agreed. Let’s position our people at all other branches ahead of time,” Wu Mingyu concurred, nodding.
Wang Yun’s car had to be followed, and other bank branches should be preemptively secured.

“Wow, is Big Brother really taking on the program inspection team today?”
“This is a direct confrontation. The task force is in pursuit, while Big Brother keeps shifting his targets. Epic!”
“It’s a thrilling game of wits and courage. Also, Big Brother’s driving skills are amazing, aren’t they?”
“I wish I could drive like that too!”
In the live stream, all the viewers watched this duel unfold, their eyes brimming with excitement. It was a clash of intellect and a race of speed.
Wang Yun switched routes and suddenly accelerated. He had memorized this road and knew it was relatively smooth. His speed shot up to around ninety as he sped forward.
“His target is the Jiuyunli branch of Nancheng Bank. Quick, head over there. They should reach it in about one minute and thirty seconds,” Wu Mingyu announced within the program task force, having pinpointed Wang Yun’s next destination.
“We’ll be there in three minutes,” replied the Sniper brothers.
“We will reach the airspace above the area in two minutes,” added Sky Eagles.

At the Jiuyunli branch of Nancheng Bank, a Bentley parked at the entrance. Wang Yun, sitting in the driver’s seat, gazed at the computer screen before him and hit the space bar, initiating his next move.
They emerged from the car, their gaze fixed on the Nancheng Bank branch. Striding forward with an audacious gait, Wang Yun approached the bank’s entrance. He paused, eyeing a surveillance camera mounted on the wall.
A sly smirk curled on his lips as he said a silent message, “You’re too slow.”
With that, he spat out his chewing gum, skillfully flicking it with a flick of his finger in a display of his masterful knife-throwing skills. The gum landed squarely on the camera lens, obscuring its view.
“Go inside,” he instructed.
In the next instant, Wang Yun signaled to Brother Hu and the others, then swiftly made his way toward a nearby tall building.
Brother Hu and the team nodded, entering the bank as gunshots rang out. The robbery had begun.
Meanwhile, Wang Yun adeptly dodged the field of view of all nearby surveillance cameras and approached the entrance of a multi-story building, stepping inside with purpose.
“The fish should take the bait now,” he murmured to himself in the elevator.
His actions today, every move he made, were all calculated for one purpose: to draw out the snipers. To bait them.
