After everyone reported the incident, the Lakefront Business District Public Security Bureau responded very quickly; within less than three minutes, two Floating Airships arrived at the scene, carrying dozens of Sheriffs to cordon off the area around the bank.

Subsequent support teams and medical personnel soon arrived as well, and the scene was completely controlled by the Public Security Bureau.

However, the perpetrators acted so swiftly, their vehicle was suspected to be equipped with multiple license plates, color-changing car film, electronic countermeasure units, and other means of escape, making all the street surveillance cameras unable to capture their trail.

The most critical issue was that, due to the complete paralysis of the bank’s system, the internal camera database of the bank also collapsed, hindering direct observation of the scene, which added to the difficulty of cracking the case.

Outside the bank, the witnesses of the robbery were being questioned by the Sheriffs.

A cybernetic doctor was helping Ou Chenyu with a check-up; he first stitched up the gunshot wound and then connected a reader to the interface on Ou Chenyu’s body.

The cybernetic doctor looked at the list displayed on the screen showing the model of the cybernetic parts, and marveled: “Bro, your cybernetic parts are impressive!”

“Stringently Managed Level 2 light carbon steel skeleton, Stringently Managed Level 1 artificial powered heart, military Level 3 raptor-style spinal nerve center…”

“And this PMK overclocked power core, it’s top-grade military Level 1! Even the people from the Anti-Violence Fourth Section use this stuff! You’re amazing!”

Ou Chenyu smiled at him: “You’re too kind.”

At this time, a few Sheriffs walked over, and the leader stopped when he saw Ou Chenyu, examined him for a moment, then reacted: “You’re… the captain of Tiger Teeth Mercenaries, Ou Chenyu?”

Ou Chenyu nodded: “That’s right.”

“Pleasure to meet you.” The Sheriff shook hands with him and said, “I heard from eyewitnesses that you were very brave at the time, stepping forward to engage the culprits.”

Ou Chenyu said helplessly: “I’m ashamed; I was afraid of harming innocents, so I didn’t dare to go all out in the fight, letting them escape. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help.”

The Sheriff comforted him: “No, no, no, it’s not your fault. Restraint in that situation was the right thing, otherwise, it would be troublesome if others were injured. You don’t need to feel guilty. We will also apply for a bravery medal for you afterward.”

After speaking, he took out a notebook and asked: “May I conduct a routine inquiry? We would like to gain some insight from you.”

Ou Chenyu: “Of course, please go ahead.”

Sheriff: “What were you doing when the robbery happened?”

Ou Chenyu: “I was at the counter withdrawing money.”

Sheriff: “I heard that during your withdrawal operation, the bank system suddenly encountered issues and went into paralysis?”

Ou Chenyu: “It seems something like that happened; the teller was talking about some kind of garble; I don’t understand computers, so I didn’t quite get it.”

Sheriff: “Oh… can we see the key you used at the time?”

“Sure.” Ou Chenyu took out a disc-shaped bank key from his pocket.

The Sheriff brought over bank staff and inserted it into a portable card reader.

After inspection, no issues were found, so they returned it: “Thank you for cooperating.”

The Sheriff continued questioning for about ten more minutes. After finishing his questions, he politely said: “We have a general understanding of the scene; you can leave now. If there are any questions, we will contact you.”

“Alright, thanks for your hard work.” Ou Chenyu said goodbye to the Sheriff and the cybernetic doctor, and drove away.

He returned to Tiger Base, where everything was as usual, and nothing seemed out of place.

Everyone warmly greeted the captain as they saw him, and he nodded back to each one.

Ou Chenyu went to the activity room to find Xiaotian You, and the two exchanged glances and naturally headed towards the garage.

Tiger Base’s garage has several sections, most of which are used for storing club’s shared vehicles or personal vehicles for their own Mercenaries.

There is also a small part of the garage, which is only accessible to the management.

Ou Chenyu and Xiaotian You walked into a dedicated underground garage where a dozen core-position Tiger Teeth Mercenaries were guarding; they nodded to greet the captain and their gazes seemed very profound.

They saw several large refrigerated trucks parked in the garage; these were the kind you would casually spot on the roads, specifically for transporting fresh produce.

Xiaotian You pressed the control button, and the rear compartment of the refrigerated truck slowly opened.

Cold air didn’t rush out from the truck’s compartment; what was stored inside wasn’t frozen seafood…

But a bunch of cars!

Xiaotian You and the others drove the cars off the truck and took out a dozen storage bags from inside.

Ou Chenyu abruptly opened the storage bags, and dazzling golden light illuminated his face, revealing every detail.

The Mercenaries’ eyes all shone with intense greed.

Ou Chenyu, sharing the same expression, asked: “How much is there in total?”

Xiaotian You was so excited his breathing intensified: “Altogether it’s roughly one ton, worth about 500 million at market price. Even if sold cheaply to black-market sellers, it should fetch 300 to 400 million.”

While enjoying a plentiful harvest, Ou Chenyu remained rational, asking in a deep voice: “Are we absolutely sure we’ve lost all the tails?”

Xiaotian You replied with certainty: “Yes, we completely lost them; our speed was so fast, we changed license plates and car film color multiple times en route, and there were no surveillance cameras where we switched into the refrigerated trucks; it’s impossible for anyone to track us here.”

Ou Chenyu nodded and looked at the surrounding dozen Mercenaries, speaking earnestly: “You are all brothers I trust, everyone gets a share of this money. The captain won’t treat you unfairly.”

“But remember, keep your mouths shut and never mention this money’s origin to anyone, not even your parents.”

The Mercenaries laughed: “Captain, we’re not kids; we understand these basic rules.”

One Mercenary joked halfway: “With that virus, what can’t we get? Why be Mercenaries anymore? Let’s switch to being professional robbers instead.”
