Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

The store manager slowly collapsed, his eyes filled with disbelief! Seeing this, the other employees no longer cared about the money; they all ran inside and hid. Even the two remaining customers followed suit, hiding in a corner.

Bai Baoshan, carrying his travel bag, quickly ran outside and saw the escort vehicle approaching from a distance.

However, Bai Baoshan only looked for two seconds before turning around and running away. Now that the guns had been fired and the police were arriving soon, there was no time left to rob the armored truck.

When the escort vehicle arrived at the store entrance, several employees ran out of the store with panicked expressions.

"What's going on? Why are you running away?" The security team leader grabbed a waiter and asked with a curious look on his face.

"Someone's dead! Someone's dead!" the waiter kept repeating.

"What happened? Who died? Say something!" The team leader asked loudly, looking at the waiter who was already terrified and at a loss.

"The manager is dead, shot dead! The money was stolen!" the waiter stammered.

Upon hearing this, the squad leader immediately abandoned the waiter and ran towards the store. "You guys get in the car and stay inside!" he shouted as he ran. The guards obeyed, got into the car, and closed the doors.

The squad leader walked into the clothing store and saw a red background wall behind the counter. The store manager was huddled behind the counter, with three bullet holes in his body oozing blood. The travel bag containing the money was indeed missing.

"Headquarters, this is the third escort team! I'm at Fuchengmen Second Store, and there's been a robbery! The robbers stole today's sales revenue and shot and killed the store manager, Li Cui!" The team leader picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the situation directly to the headquarters located in the clothing wholesale market.

"Secure the scene now and call the police! Don't rush back!" A woman's voice came from the front desk.

"Okay! What about the money in our car?" the squad leader asked.

"How much is the fare on the bus?" the operator asked.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!" the squad leader said.

"Put the money in the armored truck's safe and lock it. Follow the police's instructions. The company has a contingency plan, so don't worry, shift leader. As long as you follow the rules, the company won't hold your shift responsible if anything goes wrong! I'll go report this to the manager now!" the operator said.

"Okay!" the squad leader replied calmly.

Actually, when the escort company was first established, Zhao Cheng gave Xiao Suizi and the others a suggestion: in case of an emergency, the safety of the personnel should be the priority. As for the situation of money, each escort vehicle has a safe, which is usually not locked. In case of special circumstances, the money is put in, and then the escort personnel are no longer responsible. If the bandits are capable, whether they drive away the vehicle or open the safe, the company will not hold the escort personnel responsible.

Although nothing major has happened in the past two years, with only a few newcomers locking their money out of the safe due to nervousness, this is the first time we've encountered a robbery.

Although none of them had experienced anything like this before, these escorts were all locals who had retired from the military or armed police, so this small incident was not enough to throw them off balance.

The squad leader quickly stepped out of the store and said to his men in the armored truck, "Level 2 emergency plan!"

Although the security guards were somewhat taken aback, they obediently threw the five travel bags from the vehicle into the safe inside and locked it. They didn't know the combination to the safe and could only open it after returning to the company.

After the money was loaded, all the guards except the driver got off the vehicle and stood guard around it, waiting for the police to arrive.

Meanwhile, Bai Baoshan hid his gun inside his trench coat, grabbed a bag, and headed into the alley. Following his pre-planned route, the number of people along the way gradually decreased until he reached a dead end.

Here, Bai Baoshan took off his trench coat, put the gun into a pile of construction debris in the corner of the alley, took out a set of clothes from the pile, quickly changed into them, wrapped the gun in the clothes, and then put it back in the same spot.

He took out scissors and cut the bag into pieces, then put the money directly into his pocket. This garment was specially made; it not only had several pockets on the outside but also several pockets sewn inside.

It's easy to carry 50,000 to 60,000 yuan on your person. After packing the money, Bai Baoshan stuffed the travel bag into the pile of garbage.

The gun was useless. Bai Baoshan robbed this money to buy a new gun. He also knew that since he had used a gun in the city today, his first priority was to run away, otherwise he might be trapped in Beiping by the police!

After getting ready, Bai Baoshan walked out of the alley and, after a few more minutes, came directly to the main road. He got into a car and gave an address.

"Master, let's go to Taoranting Park in the north!" Bai Baoshan said.

"Sit tight, we're off now!" The driver didn't hesitate at all and drove off.

The clothing store was now cordoned off by police. "Chief, isn't this a bit serious? Aren't you going to report this to the station?" a policeman asked curiously as he surveyed the scene.

"Do you think I'm stupid? This is Beiping! A robbery with a gun in the street, what kind of case is that? Can someone like you or me handle it? And don't you know the background of this store?" the police chief said in a low voice.

"What's the background of this shop? I've never heard of it before," the young policeman asked, somewhat puzzled.

"This store is part of a chain in Beiping! It's owned by the Zhao family!" the director said, looking around.

"Which Zhao? Brother-in-law, just say it! Why are you playing riddles with me?" the young policeman said anxiously.

"What brother-in-law? You should use his title when you're working! Besides, your sister and I are only engaged, we're not married yet! Don't talk nonsense!" the station chief quickly whispered a warning.

"Understood, Chief! But which Zhao family is it?" The young policeman didn't care and asked the chief directly.

"The Zhao family from the military! Which other Zhao family could it be!" the director said.

"A street-cleaning tiger?" the young policeman said.

"Wow, you know quite a lot, huh?" the director said, somewhat surprised.

"Chief, did my sister tell you? Our family used to live in Luogu Lane?" the young policeman said.

"How so?" the director asked curiously.

"That person used to live in No. 95 Nanluoguxiang! We grew up hearing the legends about him!" the young policeman said with a smile.

"Alright, look how proud you are! Since you know that, then you should keep your mouth shut!" the director said sternly.
