Chapter 38 Ex-Girlfriend
[Ding dong! Hint, mission triggered.]
[Punish Evil and Eliminate Wickedness!]
[Mission Description: Vicious robbers live by robbing banks, gaining without labor, stained with blood, cruel and ruthless. Eliminate or capture them, by any means necessary!]
[Mission Reward: Spatial Ring (100 cubic meters)!]
Mo Fei's heart stirred, and he asked Mindy, "Mindy, are you confident you can wipe them all out?"
Mindy gave Mo Fei a strange look, said nothing, but counted the number of robbers, observed their respective positions, and calculated silently in her mind.
"There are eight of them, but looking at them, they don't seem to have undergone special training. Taking them out isn't a problem. But there are too many people here, making it easy to injure bystanders, and there are many surveillance cameras, so it's easy to be filmed."
"If we ignore them, they will at most take the money and leave; they shouldn't kill anyone."
"Is that so!" Mo Fei was a little regretful.
It seemed he wouldn't be able to get this mission's reward.
No matter how tempting the reward from the System was, he couldn't risk his only sister.
The experience of dealing with that Daoist priest was still vivid in Mo Fei's mind.
Nothing was more important than his and Mindy's safety.
Some of the robbers were guarding the hostages, while others were stuffing money. These people cooperated very well, clearly seasoned professionals.
"Brother, look at that woman." Mindy suddenly pointed to a mature beauty in OL professional attire to Mo Fei's front left.
"What's wrong?" Mo Fei casually turned his head.
"Isn't that one of your ex-girlfriends? What was her name? It seems to be Mei…"
"May-Parker!" Memories of that mature beauty suddenly flooded Mo Fei's mind.
She was a fashion designer, in her thirties, mature, beautiful, astute, capable, gentle, and considerate. She was an ex-girlfriend Mo Fei had once been very fond of.
Her husband had died of cancer two years ago, leaving her with a 17-year-old nephew who was still in high school.
Mo Fei had dated her about a year ago.
Mo Fei was 25, May-Parker was 33. The age difference was only 8 years, which was nothing.
Europeans and Americans don't care about age differences in relationships; sibling romances are a piece of cake!
You know, Churchill's political rival for Prime Minister even married his mother!
French President Macron, with his handsome appearance, has a wife 24 years older than him, who was his teacher.
Mo Fei and May-Parker's 8-year age gap was nothing!
Mo Fei also very much liked May-Parker's maturity and gentleness at the time, and they dated for two months.
In the end, they broke up peacefully.
As for the reason… it's a simple story: I just liked you and wanted to date you, but you wanted to marry me… such is the most helpless emotion in the world… but they remained friends.
Mo Fei and Mindy both saw May-Parker, but she didn't see Mindy and Mo Fei.
She was very scared, hiding in a corner, trembling slightly.
These bank robbers were indeed seasoned professionals; they only cared about money and didn't kill anyone. After emptying the bank's money, they abandoned Mo Fei and the other hostages and fled.
The money was already safely in their pockets; now all they needed to worry about was how to escape the Police's pursuit.
Everyone in the bank lobby breathed a sigh of relief.
But God played a joke on them.
As soon as the group of robbers walked out of the bank, several sharp gunshots rang out from outside.
Mindy's ears twitched: "That's the sound of a Glock 19. It should be the New York City Police Department."
"How could these Police arrive so quickly?" Mo Fei said, utterly incredulous.
According to the usual timeline, the Police should arrive at the scene within 10-15 minutes of the incident.
Mo Fei estimated that the bank robbers had taken less than 8 minutes.
The New York City Police Department NYPD was superhuman today.
Mo Fei hadn't expected it, and the bank robbers certainly hadn't, so they were caught off guard instantly.
One person was wounded.
"Boss, the Police are here, what do we do?"
"Go back!" The robber boss made a snap decision: "Grab some hostages!"
The eight robbers rushed back into the bank.
Coincidentally, the person chosen by the robbers as a hostage… was May-Parker.
Mo Fei's expression immediately turned ugly.
Even though they had broken up, in Mo Fei's heart, May-Parker was still his best friend. She was kind, generous, gentle, and considerate—a very good woman.
Such a good woman shouldn't suffer any misfortune.
And judging by the System's evaluation of these robbers—stained with blood, cruel and ruthless—would May-Parker fare well in their hands?
He must save her!
"Hey!" Mo Fei thought for a moment, then nudged Mo Youqian on the other side: "Care to help out?"
"No help!" Mo Youqian first shook his head like a rattle-drum, then stared at Mo Fei with ill intent: "Unless you agree to one condition of mine!"
"Aren't you an Elder of Kunlun? How can you do something as despicable as taking advantage of a favor?" Mo Fei rolled his eyes.
He knew this old rogue would seize the opportunity to make an unreasonable demand.
"No matter what you say, if you don't agree to my condition, I won't make a move!" Mo Youqian was like an old scoundrel, utterly shameless. Who could do anything to this stubborn old man?
"Brother, do you really want to save her? There's still a chance." Mindy suppressed the slight displeasure in her heart.
Mo Fei looked at Mindy.
Mindy leaned into Mo Fei's ear and whispered the plan.
"I understand." Mo Fei nodded.
"I'll reiterate, if they shoot as soon as you stand up, all you need to do is quickly crouch down. Don't worry about anything else." Mindy said solemnly.
She could shoot down other people's bullets to ensure Mo Fei's life safety, but she couldn't protect Mo Fei completely in a chaotic situation.
So she only had that one chance for Mo Fei!
"Got it!" Mo Fei smiled and ruffled Mindy's head again, then boldly stood up from under the table.
"Hmph!" Mindy loaded her pistol while grumbling under her breath: "Brother, you run into your ex-girlfriends everywhere. It's really awkward for me as your sister! When will you ever change your philandering ways?!"
A burly robber wearing black stockings held May-Parker by the neck with one hand and pointed a gun at May-Parker's temple with the other, roaring at the Police outside the door: "We have dozens of hostages here! If you don't want them to die, you'd better do as we say! Otherwise, I'll shoot one person every minute! Starting with this woman!"
"Hi!" Mo Fei raised his hands, a smile on his face, and stood up.
"What are you doing? Get back down and squat! Or I'll shoot!"
Mo Fei's sudden movement set off alarm bells in the robbers' minds, and two gun barrels shifted towards Mo Fei.
"Um… my girlfriend is pregnant. Can I take her place as your hostage?" Mo Fei pointed at May-Parker and asked cautiously.
