Chapter 514 - 298: Overnight Wealth
In the robbery incident this time, aside from the delivery driver sinking into a certain degree of panic, those surrounding whether they were escorting personnel or the armed police who rushed over upon hearing the news, most harbored an attitude of seeking accomplishment.
For those in their profession, how could they earn their stripes if they never encountered any incidents?
Moreover, though this band of people seemed to have around a dozen individuals, prepared quite thoroughly, they still seriously underestimated the level of importance given to this operation.
Aside from the initial homemade bomb that caused light injuries to the guards in the few front vehicles, the rest of their weapons were essentially unable to pose a threat to the fully armed military police.
Driven by this mentality, it led them to not pay much attention to Li Ang, who joined midway, focusing more of their efforts on preventing the individuals from escaping.
After all, in their view, no matter how Li Ang thrashed around, he was ultimately not going to escape. They might as well capture those who were actively trying to flee first.
Thus, a very peculiar situation unfolded at the scene, where the armed police arriving later were all busy capturing the fleeing robbers, while Li Ang, who was persistently working on opening the boxes to take goods, received little attention.
The leader of these people had already cursed the armed police’s entire families in his heart. He truly couldn’t understand why, even with a robust man on the scene and in the midst of a robbery, they ignored him, instead of chasing those who stopped and planned to escape. Wasn’t protecting the transported goods their primary task?
Of course, Li Ang was delighted to see this happen. He completely ignored the police who were sternly shouting at him to stop his actions, approached the hole that had been melted by the upfront group, and disregarding the metal edge still glowing red with high heat, dove in like "a fish into water" straight through the hole.
In such a short span, the searing heat wouldn’t harm Li Ang, but the unfortunate part was due to his posture; parts of his clothing under both armpits got burned by the red-hot alloy, forming two large holes. Paired with his slightly curled and burned hair, his whole aura instantly changed.
