Finally.

After searching for a while, the three of them finally found an oxyacetylene gas cutting machine in an advertising shop.

One steel cylinder of liquid acetylene and one steel cylinder of liquid oxygen. Lin Xian and Big Face Cat carried them in two trips and finally got the two heavy tanks of liquefied gas onto the van.

CC took the gas hose and spray gun and also stole three welding masks from the shop next door to ensure they could see the flame position clearly when cutting, so as not to burn their retinas.

"I got the lighter too. Everything's ready."

Lin Xian looked at his watch; they had wasted too much time.

"Let's go, to the bank!"

He, Big Face Cat, and CC got back into the van.

Fastened their seatbelts.

Everything was going smoothly.

Boom—

The shaking van started again.

On the way, Lin Xian specifically instructed Big Face Cat:

"Brother Face, since there's no money in the bank vault anyway, don't be in a hurry to purge the family and double-cross us. Spare your three little brothers a way out."

"We can't lift these two big steel cylinders by ourselves. We have to rely on your little brothers to help transport them."

Big Face Cat nodded and silently turned the steering wheel:

"I've already arranged this. Don't worry."

"But don't tell them there's no money in the vault first. Those three are only interested in profit. If they know there's no money inside… they definitely won't risk going with us."

"You just take care of your plan. I have my own way to deal with those three."

…

Soon, the van arrived at the familiar bank entrance.

Lin Xian looked at his watch. It was almost noon. They had wasted too much time looking for equipment.

Opening the car door, three masked lackeys were already waiting next to the car.

Two of the lackeys carried the acetylene tank, Big Face Cat and another lackey carried the oxygen tank, Lin Xian held three welding masks in his left hand, and carried the spray gun and hose in his right hand. CC was lightly armed, carrying a small computer to crack the password.

The group of six, ready, stood at the bank entrance.

"Go!"

Big Face Cat waved his hand.

The hastily formed rabble walked into the bank in a mighty manner.

All the way smoothly, the six arrived at the bank vault door, looking at the silver password door flashing with a ghostly light.

The three masked lackeys rubbed their hands excitedly:

"After this job, I can go back to my hometown and get married!"

"Brother Face, have you arranged a way out for Sister-in-law? Are we still staying in the country?"

"Are you two stupid? Whether it's gold bars or cash, we have to find a way to launder it! But I've already found a way. I'll help you transfer the assets then."

Lin Xian looked at the three lackeys, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Still thinking about Sister-in-law!

Each and every one of them harbored ulterior motives… This team of Big Face Cat's is too difficult to lead.

But he could only blame Big Face Cat, as the leader, for not setting a good example. The upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked.

Big Face Cat smiled and walked forward.

He rubbed the face of the masked man in the middle, then put his arms around the shoulders of the remaining two lackeys, hugging the three together:

"You three have suffered with me in this life."

"If there is a next life, let's not do this kind of life-risking business. At that time, let's wander the streets without worries, not thinking so much, just living a muddled life."

"Just like when we were young… fighting and making trouble, collecting protection fees, it's good to be a street hooligan."

The three lackeys were moved to tears, hugging their boss tightly.

"Alright, you three, move these two gas tanks to the wall and stand them up. After this job, let's celebrate!"

Big Face Cat laughed heartily, pushing the three towards the wall:

"The good days are yet to come! Hahahaha!"

Bang!!

Bang!!

Bang!!

Just as the three lackeys turned around—

Big Face Cat instantly drew a gun from his waist! Firing three shots in a row at the three men's heads!

Thud, thud, thud…

As three blood flowers exploded, three silent corpses fell straight to the ground. Their eyes were dull, and blood gushed out.

Click!

CC took a step back, raised her gun, pointing it at Big Face Cat, her whole body tense, her eyes alert.

"Easy, relax a little."

Big Face Cat spun the gun and reinserted it into his waist.

Then he tore off the mask on his face and threw it on the ground.

He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case.

Held it in his lips.

After lighting it with a lighter, he exhaled a thick cloud of smoke:

"Every family has its rules. I'm just teaching my little brothers a lesson. It doesn't affect our plan."

CC did not completely lower her guard.

She just lowered the muzzle of her gun a little, turning her head to look at Lin Xian.

Lin Xian waved his hand:

"It's okay, CC, you go crack the password door. It's hard for an honest official to judge family affairs. His purging of the family has nothing to do with us."

CC stayed where she was, saying nothing.

After a few seconds, she also put away her gun and picked up the small computer to crack the password door.

Lin Xian looked at Big Face Cat, who was puffing smoke.

He kicked the corpse next to his feet:

"Have you always been so ruthless since you were a child? Or did it start when your daughter had the accident?"

"I don't remember…"

Big Face Cat bit his cigarette butt, grinning:

"But I wasn't like this when I was young. Those three weren't like this when they were young either."

He pointed to the three corpses on the ground, sighed, and exhaled a dense cloud of smoke:

"We used to be in the same village. We were all good brothers. Those three followed me. Although they didn't necessarily do many good things, at least they weren't evil at heart."

"But after coming out to make a living… people's hearts have changed, and the team is not easy to lead. When there's no money, they're all good brothers, but when there's money, they're all ill-intentioned, each with their own plans."

"But…"

Big Face Cat paused and looked at Lin Xian, saying:

"Perhaps you're right. If my daughter hadn't died, I might not have come to this point."

"If my daughter were still alive, I definitely wouldn't be doing these things that involve killing and arson that could cost me my head. I still want to live a few more years, make something of myself, and say a few words at my daughter's parents' meeting."

"But, there are no so many ifs… My life is like this, and I can't change it. If I can avenge my daughter, I will have no regrets even if I die."

…

Lin Xian watched Big Face Cat put out his cigarette butt, saying nothing.

[Life will change.]

When Professor Xu Yun publishes his paper, Hibernation Technology will start hundreds of years in advance. Whether it is reality or the future trajectory, earth-shaking changes will inevitably occur.

At that time, under the influence of the space-time butterfly effect…

It's not just Big Face Cat's life.

CC's life, the life of everyone in the square, the future 600 years later, the entire dream world will be brand new, becoming completely different from what it is now.

Will Big Face Cat still be a bandit at that time?

Is CC still stubbornly opening the safe?

Are the Otto brothers still dueling in the square as always?

Everything is unknown.

But everything will eventually change.

…

Di di.

The password door made two crisp sounds.

Then with a click, the indicator light on the combination lock turned from red to green, and the heavy silver combination door opened in response.

CC turned her head and looked at the two:

"The door is open!"
