Blue and white panties can’t conquer a bank!

In the center of the bank hall, a man with a black stocking pulled over his head brandished a black pistol.

After discharging a shot into the ceiling, he aimed the weapon at the bank tellers behind the counter and bellowed, “Robbery! Everyone, hands up!”

On either side of him stood two other accomplices, each gripping a pistol, their weapons trained on the remaining customers to prevent any sudden movements.

Under duress, the employees and customers throughout the hall promptly raised their hands.

The Class Monitor, Cheng Tianxiong, and I stood by the ATM. Cheng Tianxiong had already released his grip on my collar.

We remained there, equally paralyzed by fear.

They held guns, after all.

Although our current position wasn’t far from the main entrance, making an escape feasible, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t open fire, which would lead to a truly miserable fate. Consequently, we were left with no choice but to stand rooted to the spot.

However, my attention was drawn to one of the robbers.

No, not for any other reason, but perhaps due to either a severe lack of funding or an inexplicable shortage of proper stockings, this person had a blue and white pair of panties pulled directly over their head!

Indeed, a blue and white pair of panties! It stretched from the top of their head all the way down to above their mouth!

‘Are you here to be funny? Why would you wear panties to rob a bank? The customers next to you are visibly struggling to stifle their amusement because of those panties on your head!’

‘Stop it! Blue and white panties aren’t meant to be used like that! Go back and put on a stocking, then come back! If blue and white panty enthusiasts saw this, do you know what would happen?’

My inner tirade went unheeded. The leading robber, observing no resistance, nodded to another stocking-clad man behind him.

That robber immediately stepped forward to address the customers.

“Hey! All of you, squat against the wall! Hands behind your heads! Yes, just like that. As long as you do as we say, we won’t do anything to you.”

The customers nodded repeatedly, not daring to offer the slightest resistance. They all put their hands behind their heads and moved towards the nearest corner of the wall.

The robber offered a faint smile. Suddenly, he noticed us still standing by the ATM.

He gestured threateningly and shouted, “You students over there! Come here! Same as them, hands behind your heads, against the wall!”

Cheng Tianxiong and I exchanged glances with the Class Monitor. She hesitated for a moment, then spoke, “Listen to them.”

‘Ah, a testament to her future role as a police officer. So calm at a critical moment. Most girls would probably be crying in fear by now.’

The Class Monitor led the way towards the bank hall wall. Cheng Tianxiong followed closely behind.

I looked back, intending to call Queen Lan to follow, only to discover she had already vanished without a trace.

After a brief moment of thought, I understood. ‘That woman must have used invisibility magic to escape first!’

‘Damn that treacherous woman!’

“Hey! You, the one with glasses over there! What are you doing standing still! Do you want to die?!”

The stocking-clad man, seeing my lack of movement, pointed his gun at me and snapped with force.

I swiftly caught up to the Class Monitor and squatted against the wall with them.

There was no time to worry about Queen Lan now. If we simply remained still and avoided drawing the robbers’ attention, we should remain unharmed.

The leading stocking-clad man, satisfied that the customers were handled, turned his head towards the tellers behind the bank counter and called out to the pantsu man.

The pantsu man immediately stepped forward, placed a sack on the counter, and pointed his gun at one of the tellers.

“Take out all the money and put it in here.”

The teller, with a gun pointed at them, dared not resist and could only meekly comply.

Yet, whether it was due to the pantsu man’s comical headgear, the teller’s expression was remarkably strange, a mixture of wanting to cry and wanting to laugh.

‘Seriously, Pantsu Man, go change back into a stocking before you rob us! You’re ruining the rare serious atmosphere of a robbery with those panties!’

“Others, you all get the money too!”

The pantsu man seemed oblivious to the teller’s peculiar expression and continued to address the other employees.

The employees nodded and all began to busy themselves moving money out of the vault.

At this moment, the bank was enveloped in silence, save for the rustling sound of money being moved and packed.

I seized the opportunity to observe the situation in the hall.

All the customers were now gathered in the corners of the bank, hugging their heads.

In our corner, besides me, the Class Monitor, and Cheng Tianxiong, there was also a middle-aged uncle and a girl who looked like a student, just like us.

However, she didn’t appear to be from our school, wearing another school’s uniform, trembling in the corner, her eyes red as if she was on the verge of tears.

I then turned my attention to the customers on the opposite side. There were more people there than on our side, approximately nine individuals. Many looked bitter, sitting on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

“Eh?”

Just then, an unexpected person caught my eye. Ji Qianluo’s butler, Lin Yi, was surprisingly among the customers opposite me.

He was still sitting in a “schoolboy” posture, his face utterly calm and distinct from the expressions of the surrounding customers, as if the bank robbery was merely a casual social mixer between stockings and panties in his eyes.

Butler Lin Yi seemed to have noticed me too, and subtly turned his head to look in my direction.

I quickly averted my gaze.

‘Confound it, Butler Lin Yi, you truly hadn’t left the bank after all!’
