The Secret to Picking Up Girls

However, if the bandits were caught and the safety of the hostages guaranteed, not only would he have no responsibility, but he would also receive praise from his superiors. But Ji Xiaofeng also knew that while this ideal was good, it was extremely difficult.

"Secretary, I think this risk is worth taking. If these bandits eventually escape, they will continue to harm society elsewhere. So, if possible, we must take on this responsibility," Mayor Tao Ruolan said to Ji Xiaofeng with righteous indignation.

Ji Xiaofeng glanced at Tao Ruolan, admiring her courage. Despite being a woman, she could step forward at crucial moments. He knew that if something really went wrong this time, the mayor would bear the primary responsibility, while the secretary in charge of ideology would have a much smaller responsibility.

"Okay... Qin Tian, this time, I will give you a death order. This mission is only allowed to succeed, not to fail. If you succeed, I will give you a great reward. If you fail, I won't say it, but you know what the consequences will be." Ji Xiaofeng's expression turned serious as he solemnly said to Qin Tian.

At that moment, Qin Tian also felt immense pressure on his shoulders.

Just then, Xu Guozhong, the bank president beside him, suddenly exclaimed in surprise, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

"What's going on?" Ji Xiaofeng's expression changed.

The others quickly went behind Xu Guozhong, and seeing his shocked expression as he stared at the computer, they knew something terrible had happened.

"Secretary, Mayor, these people have successfully broken through the bank's defense layer. This is the most advanced international security program, with a total of nine layers of password locks. Now they have broken through the seventh layer. They are geniuses!" Xu Guozhong shook his head, his face full of admiration.

"Then, President Xu, how much time do you think it will take for them to break through the remaining two password locks?" Qin Tian asked Xu Guozhong with a solemn expression.

"I just told Director Qin that the further you go into these nine layers of defense, the more difficult it is to break through each layer compared to the previous one. But based on the time it took for that person to break through the first seven layers, I don't think it will take them much longer to break through the last two layers. If they really open the underground vault by then, the consequences will be unimaginable. Once the gold reserves flow into the market, the impact on the outside world will be terrible," Xu Guozhong couldn't help but reveal a trace of worry.

"Then how much time do you think it will take for them to break through the last two layers?" Qin Tian asked Xu Guozhong.

Xu Guozhong thought carefully for a moment, then nodded to Qin Tian and said, "I estimate that, based on their previous speed, it should take a maximum of one hour."

"Okay... then strive to break through within this one hour," Qin Tian said to himself with a serious expression.

Just then, a police officer outside walked in hurriedly.

Liu Chenggong frowned and asked the police officer, "What's going on?"

"Director, the bandits are demanding that our people withdraw three miles away. If they find a police officer, they will immediately kill a hostage. Every police officer they see, they will kill one hostage," the police officer said with a solemn expression.
