19: The old witch paid in gold! (Joya is sure)

“Phew!”

The pressure was released.

Walking out of the subway station.

Polaris was in a joyful mood, still wanting more.

“It really feels different, my heart is beating so fast right now.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Joa, who was walking in front, reached out and covered her mouth.

“Shh!”

Turning his head, Joa warned Polaris with a serious expression.

Then he pointed outside.

Even when nothing unusual was happening, it was rare to see pedestrians in Los Santos late at night.

Only homeless people, gang members, and other criminals would wander around in the dead of night.

Of course, some NPCs with urgent matters were not excluded.

However, today, after the bank robbery that shocked the entire Los Santos had just occurred.

On the road, besides the Police cars patrolling with sirens blaring, even the homeless had all disappeared.

“Lower your voice, there are many patrolling Police cars outside right now.”

Hearing this, Polaris leaned close to Joa and looked out, just in time to see a Police car speeding past on the highway.

Judging by the direction, it should be heading towards the Pacific Bank.

Seeing these Police completely unaware that they were being played, the corner of Polaris’s mouth curved upwards.

“Hehe, now the entire Los Santos has boiled over.”

Ignoring Polaris’s words, Joa was now thinking about where to go.

The getaway vehicle definitely couldn't be driven anymore.

But now there were Police cars passing by from time to time outside.

It would probably be dawn by the time they sneaked all the way back to their home more than ten kilometers away.

Seeing Joa silent and not responding to her words, Polaris couldn't help but ask.

“So, are we going home now? Or finding a place to camp?”

“Camping? Haha, You’re quite humorous, maybe we can try it later.”

“But now I have a better place to go.”

When planning the escape route, Joa deliberately chose the opposite direction from his new home.

Consider defeat before considering victory.

This subway station was just one of the exits Joa had planned in advance.

“A better place to go? Where?”

Hearing this, Joa smiled and turned to look at the confused Polaris, then reached out and pointed to the embassy a few hundred meters away.

“There.”

“Rabbit Embassy?”

“Exactly!”

Looking at Joa with surprise, Polaris’s mind was a bit muddled.

She didn’t understand why a robber would run to the Rabbit Embassy.

Could it be that Joa was still a spy or an undercover agent in this World?

Breaking out in a cold sweat from her own thoughts, Polaris, with a shocked expression, was about to say something when she immediately realized.

Whether he was a robber or a spy, it didn't matter to her.

She wasn't from this World.

And even in the World where she grew up, it didn't matter if Joa was a spy.

After all, America, no matter which World, had never loved her.

There was only targeting, capture, exclusion, and discrimination.

The only one who loved her was Joa...

While carefully sneaking into the Rabbit Embassy, following Joa in front of her.

Polaris recalled the time she had spent with Joa.

‘He should love me… right?’

Like many people in their first love, Polaris experienced the feeling of gains and losses for the first time.

“Hey! Be careful!”

“Why are You suddenly a bit distracted?”

“You almost fell just now.”

Hearing Joa’s voice, Polaris came back to her senses and found herself being held in the arms of the person who had made her so restless.

Following Joa’s gaze to the patrolling Rabbit Soldiers in the courtyard.

Polaris exhaled lightly, suppressed the emotions in her heart, and smiled.

“Phew! I’m fine,”

“Have we arrived?”

Looking at Polaris with some helplessness, Joa shook his head and chuckled.

“I really admire your big heart.”

“We are sneaking into the Rabbit Embassy, can You even get distracted at a time like this?”

“Hurry in, it’ll be bad if someone finds us.”

With that, Joa pushed open the window on the second floor of the Rabbit Embassy in front of him.

Immediately, the two quietly slipped into the second-floor corridor of the embassy.

At this moment.

In the bedroom.

Li Hua was staring blankly at the live broadcast on the television.

He couldn't snap out of it for a long time.

What did he hear?

There was no one in the bank?

Tens of tons of gold in the vault were also gone?

Was this seeing a ghost?

‘How did that young man do it?’

‘Did he bribe the bank executives?’

‘No! That’s not right!’

‘The bank vault is inspected every day, it’s impossible to transport it out beforehand!’

‘To steal the gold, it could only be after everyone left work tonight.’

‘But how… how was this done?’

Just as Li Hua was racking his brain.

The bedroom door was gently knocked.

“Who is it!”

“Is that Da Yong?”

He suddenly turned to look at the door.

Li Hua ran quickly to the bedside table with a solemn expression, took out a pistol from it, and aimed it at the door.

‘What’s going on? Da Yong should be on duty at this time!’

‘Could it be that the U.S. side wants to use tonight’s robbery to install listening devices in the embassy again?’

“Comrade! It’s me!”

This standard Chinese, this endearing address.

‘It’s that kid!’

Hastily putting down the gun, Li Hua took two steps at a time, jogging to open the door.

“How did You escape…”

Before he could finish speaking, Li Hua saw Polaris beside Joa and paused unconsciously.

But there was no time to think too much, out of respect for Joa’s address of 'Comrade'.

Li Hua chose to trust Joa, then stepped back two paces, letting the two into the bedroom.

The reason they didn't go to the living room was because Li Hua knew very well that the fewer people who knew about what Joa was doing, the better.

Even the East University soldiers on duty at the embassy were to be kept in the dark as much as possible.

Entering the bedroom.

Seeing the extremely chaotic scene at the Pacific Bank entrance on the live TV broadcast.

Joa and Polaris exchanged a smile.

Seeing this, Li Hua pondered for a moment, then spoke.

“Little Comrade, this matter… was it really You… You two who did it?”

Hearing this, Joa’s face showed a half-smile.

‘His attitude has clearly changed.’

“What matter are You referring to? The robbery broadcast on TV?”

“Comrade, You must speak with evidence, You can’t slander me.”

“With my fragile little body, how would I dare to rob a bank?”

“At most, I’d only dare to find a way to get back the gold that the old hag paid out back then.”

Saying that, Joa raised his hand.

The next moment.

A rectangular gold bar appeared in Joa’s palm.

Seeing Joa conjure something out of thin air, Li Hua stared at the gold bar with wide eyes.

For a long time.

Li Hua, who had managed to clear his thoughts, looked at Joa with a complex gaze.

This was not the first time the other party had surprised him tonight.

“If I remember correctly, what the old hag compensated was all White silver, right?”

Hearing this, Joa’s expression was serious.

“How could that be! The old hag paid out gold at the time! Absolutely!”

Looking at Joa, Li Hua smiled knowingly.

“Hahaha, yes, that’s right, it was gold!”
