170: These days, it's impossible for anyone to rob a bank anymore.

Lei Jun glanced at his research director's expression, which was as he expected.

He understood Engineer Liu's temperament too well.

Witnessing a function he had never imagined was like discovering a new continent for a tech fanatic; that unparalleled attraction could make him abandon everything.

Lei Jun pulled out his phone and checked the time. It was 1:40 PM, Beijing time.

There were still twenty minutes until the new product launch.

Alright, since the press conference hadn't started yet, he would accompany this tech fanatic and see what other peculiar features the legendary black tech multi-functional air umbrella possessed.

Live stream room.

Su Yu slowly left the bank lobby, strolling leisurely towards the rain.

When he stepped outside into the rain-drenched environment, an invisible air umbrella once again completely isolated the rain. This further confirmed that the air umbrella was not just the Streamer's self-promotion, but a real product that had been made and displayed before everyone.

"Sister, you walked too fast just now. How was it? Did you get caught in the rain?"

Su Yu walked up to the woman and asked with a concerned smile.

"Fortunately, I put the air umbrella on you in advance, otherwise the rain came too suddenly, and even if you had an umbrella in your hand, you probably wouldn't have reacted in time."

The woman stared blankly at the young man with a smile on his lips.

"You just said umbrella? What umbrella? Why didn't I see an umbrella?!"

"Oops, I'm sorry, I put it on you to try without your permission."

"Here, it's this multi-functional air umbrella! If it weren't for it, sister, you might have been completely drenched by this heavy rain just now."

Saying that, Su Yu pointed to the small electronic screen clipped to his cuff, and then pointed to the collar at the back of the woman's neck.

The woman looked over belatedly.

She saw that at some point, a small electronic screen had also appeared on her clothing.

This thing looked inconspicuous, and she didn't feel anything even when it was on. If Su Yu hadn't pointed it out, the woman wouldn't have noticed it even then.

The woman took off the small electronic screen from her collar and held it in her palm, examining it carefully.

Although she didn't quite believe that such a small electronic screen could shield her from the stormy winds and heavy rain, the moment she held the small item, its high-quality texture and delicate appearance certainly indicated it was not a cheap item.

The woman even felt that this small gadget was more finely crafted than her latest model of fruit phone.

She held the small screen in her palm, moving it away from her body as if conducting an experiment. But as soon as she moved it a little, raindrops flowing along the edge of the air umbrella instantly fell onto her shoulder, soaking it.

The woman's eyes lit up!

Hmm? This small screen really seemed to be the source of the invisible air umbrella above her head; as the small screen moved, the rain-shielding area also moved with it.

But, could such a magical air umbrella truly exist in this world?

"Is this the umbrella you mentioned earlier, the one for a thousand yuan?"

The woman asked curiously, looking at the small screen in her hand.

"But why can't it be seen?"

Su Yu patiently explained.

"Because the principle of this air umbrella is based on an air control suite, and the components used are all manifestations of controlled gas. Air, naturally, cannot be seen or touched."

The woman became interested.

"Besides being invisible and intangible, does this air umbrella have any other functions?"

"Of course it does, but there are too many functions to explain all at once. If you are interested and want to know more, why don't we sit over here, and I'll tell you slowly."

"Anyway, it's pouring rain outside right now, so we might as well wait until the rain lessens before leaving."

Su Yu continued to persuade her.

The woman looked at the torrential rain outside the air umbrella, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, following Su Yu back into the bank.

And at this very moment, lightning flashed and thunder roared!

A cash transport vehicle sped through the curtain of rain, roaring out.

The four large characters "Jindun Escort" were spray-painted in neat, serious gold on the green paint of the vehicle. The cash transport vehicle's tires skidded on the wet ground due to sudden braking, emitting a piercing screech.

Su Yu and the woman's attention were almost simultaneously drawn by the sound from behind them.

And the audience in the live stream room were also startled, everyone's gaze followed Su Yu's camera and silently looked at the cash transport vehicle parked by the roadside not far away.

In such heavy rain, a cash transport vehicle still arrived at the bank.

It could only be said that today's weather was indeed unpredictable.

Helplessly, even the cash transport vehicle could only bite the bullet and complete its mission first.

The vehicle stopped steadily by the roadside, and the side sliding door opened, revealing four people emerging from inside. Two of them were fully armed, their bulletproof vests and helmets protecting them completely.

Guns in hand, their gazes were vigilant.

Even with the pouring rain, as soon as they exited the vehicle, they maintained their immediate awareness, observing all directions and constantly paying attention to their surroundings.

"Good heavens, they have to deliver and withdraw money even in this heavy rain, these Brothers are truly dedicated!"

"Actually, I've always been curious, are the guns in their hands real guns?"

"Who cares what kind of gun it is, these days a gun in hand is just for show, to scare people. Maybe these guns are just loaded with blanks, nothing else."

"Exactly, is it possible that someone these days would be so brainless as to act like in TV shows, driving a broken Jinbei van, carrying an earth fire gun (shotgun), and openly robbing a bank during cash transport?! They must be missing a screw or two!"

"Hmm? Jinbei? Is the Brother upstairs talking about that white van over there?"

Seeing this, everyone subconsciously followed Su Yu's first-person camera view.

They saw that less than fifty meters from the bank entrance, in the heavy rain, the Jinbei van started with a sputtering sound like an old man coughing.

Thump-thump-thump-thump—

As the sound suddenly erupted, under the dark sky, only one of the two front headlights illuminated, the other flickered a few times with a sputtering sound, and ultimately did not light up.

A few seconds later.

After the other two security personnel from the cash transport vehicle left the vehicle, carrying heavy safes, the white Jinbei van let out a roar, suddenly accelerated, and started moving! Its target was directly towards the cash transport vehicle!

The Jinbei van was very fast, and large and small raindrops hit the vehicle with a pattering sound.

In less than six seconds, the vehicle was already only about five meters away from the cash transport vehicle.

And at this moment, the side door of the white Jinbei van suddenly opened!

Three people wearing animal masks quickly jumped out of the vehicle, and the three earth fire guns (shotguns) in their hands were aimed at the two fully armed cash escort security personnel the moment they landed.
