When Jon spoke, he looked at him with an unusually fierce expression, and Sunny trembled.

Jon, the way you acted today was too terrifying.

Even if Sunny did not want to cooperate with this drill, he could only do as he was told in order to avoid Jon’s revenge in the future.

Sunny nodded heavily as he looked at Jon.

“Very good!”

“As long as you listen to me, you’ll be able to suffer less.”

Jon sneered and patted Sunny’s shoulder.

After saying that, Jon directly took down the shotgun that he had been holding in his hand and placed it on Sunny’s shoulder.

…

At the same time.

In the bank lobby.

After seeing Sunny leave, the negotiator hurriedly took out his phone which was under his thigh.

Right now, his hand was handcuffed to the chair by Jon.

His free right hand could still move easily.

Taking out his cell phone, the negotiator did not hesitate and quickly dialed the sheriff’s number.

…

In the temporary command room.

The sheriff, who had just made a thorough plan, suddenly had his cell phone rung in his pocket.

He took out his cell phone and had a look. When he saw the caller ID, the sheriff was stunned.

“Shh!”

The sheriff made a silent gesture to everyone before he picked up the call.

When the negotiator called, the sheriff’s first reaction was a call from the robber, Jon.

After all, the negotiator was now tied up by Jon.

“Hello?”

After picking up the phone, the sheriff pressed the loudspeaker button and put the phone on the table.

“Sheriff, it’s me!”

“Listen to me, the robber have taken all the hostages except me to the offices in the office area.”

“Only me and the robber is left in the lobby.”

“The robber usually sit on the floor in the middle of the lobby.”

“He said that he would start killing the hostages in ten minutes. Now might be the best time to attack!”

After the call was connected, the negotiator explained the current situation in as concise Chinese as possible.

Hearing the voice of the negotiator on the other end, everyone in the temporary command room was slightly stunned.

However, the phone was hung up again before they could respond.

Everyone in the temporary command room was silent.

They had not thought of attacking forcefully after a failed raid.

It was mainly because…

All the hostages and robber in the bank were dressed the same. They could not even determine the location of the robber.

Even if they attacked forcefully, they would not be able to find the robber accurately. There was also a high possibility of accidentally injuring the hostages.

But now, the robber had actually locked the hostages up in the office.

Only he and the negotiator were left in the bank lobby. Wasn’t this giving the police officers a chance to attack?

“Captain, what shall we do now? Do we take the offensive?”

The SWAT team leader stood behind the sheriff and asked.

His five brothers had died in the surprise attack. At this moment, the SWAT team leader was feeling aggrieved.

Now that there was such a chance to kill the robber, he really did not want to let it go.

The sheriff fell into silence and did not speak.

“Captain, this may be a rare opportunity!”

“After all, if the robber escaped in a car, then the difficulty of our capture would undoubtedly be much greater.”

The other police officer at the side saw the silence of the sheriff and also opened his mouth to remind him.

After all, the opportunity would disappear in the blink of an eye and he had to seize it immediately!

“Do you think that the cunning, cautious, and highly intelligent criminal, Jon, will really create such a good opportunity for us to attack?”

“It’s like a flaw was revealed in a perfect plan and it was placed in front of us.”

The sheriff patted his left arm with his right hand, looked at the photo of Jon on the wall in the command room and said slowly.

The sheriff frowned deeply.

This opportunity did not seem as simple as he thought.

“Maybe Jon was confused?”

“After all, as time passes, the robber will feel more and more stressed. There will always be a flaw.”

The SWAT team leader was silent for two seconds before he spoke.

No one made a plan without a single flaw. Maybe this was Jon’s carelessness.

“Organize the SWAT team and attack in two minutes!”

“The robber is sitting on the floor in the middle of the bank lobby. The robber is extremely brutal and have heavy weapons in his hands. If the robber show any signs of resistance, kill him immediately.”

The sheriff took a deep breath and gave the order.

This was indeed a great opportunity.

If they didn’t seize it, they might not have such a good opportunity in the future.

There were only six minutes left in the half-hour time set by the robber. The policemen didn’t have much time left!

“Yes!”

The moment the sheriff’s order was given, the policemen in the command room and the SWAT team leader responded.

They hurriedly began to prepare for the assault.

The director sat in the command room without saying a word and his face was expressionless.

As a judge, he was indeed fair and impartial as he did not participate in any decisions made by the police.

As soon as the negotiator hung up the phone, the sound of footsteps came from the other side of the office.

The negotiator, Ah Ji, quickly put away his phone.

The door of the office was opened.

A figure wearing a military green windbreaker, a black cap, a mask, and a shotgun appeared.

He slowly walked toward the center of the bank lobby.

With his head lowered, he walked a little unnaturally. There was a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead under the cap.

However…

The negotiator in the bank and a few dead policemen did not seem to notice anything unusual.

They sat silently in the bank lobby.

Looking at the robber sitting quietly in the middle of the bank lobby, the negotiator could not help but sigh in relief as if Jon did not notice that he had made a call.

What he did not know was that the robber in his eyes was not Jon.

It was the lobby manager, Sunny, whose hand was wrapped by Jon’s tape and whose mouth was sealed.

Sunny, on the other hand, was very obedient.

According to what Jon said, he didn’t make any movements. He just quietly walked to the center of the lobby and sat down.

Because they were about the same size and dressed exactly the same.

No one would think that the robber had been replaced.

At this time, the real robber, Jon, was in the toilet.

Inside the bathroom was a black backpack with $3 million in it.

Next to the backpack was a set of SWAT uniforms.
