176: Sizzle sizzle

Apparently, the Horse-Face Masked Man who remained at the end was likely the mastermind behind this bank robbery.

Even in such a situation, he maintained a clear mind.

From Su Yu's words, he seemed to have realized something, and a sudden thought clicked in his mind.

Since the other party was so eager to promote his air umbrella, he might as well go along with the plan and agree.

Just as Su Yu said.

The air umbrella has various functions, and if he could get it now, it might really come in handy when he makes his escape later.

Moreover, if he could get the air umbrella from this kid, without the air umbrella's protection, wouldn't the other party be at his mercy?

Damn it!

Indeed, staying with a few idiots for too long makes one susceptible to their stupidity, lowering one's IQ.

The Horse-Face Masked Man spat inwardly.

Then, he suddenly spoke.

"You, kid, didn't you keep telling me to buy your umbrella? I've agreed to buy it now, give it to me."

The unexpected words from the robber not only stunned Su Yu but also caused everyone following the robbery to freeze for a moment... The Streamer's audience.

What's going on?

He's actually going to buy it?!

No way! In this situation, the Streamer can still sell his umbrella?! And to a robber!!!

Can anything be more outrageous than this!!

...Police Command Center.

The Police Captain covered his forehead with both hands in frustration.

I knew I shouldn't have let that kid talk nonsense!

What did I say? Better safe than sorry, and this robber really went crazy.

If Su Yu really gave the air umbrella to him, wouldn't that just make it purely more difficult for the SWAT team trying to rescue the hostages?

...Brand reference, likely Xiaomi New Product Launch Event.

Lei Jun, the CEO of Brand reference, likely Xiaomi Company! Mr. Lei, known as China's Lei Busi, couldn't help but clap his hands "*pa pa pa*" at this moment.

"Good, good, good! He truly is a young hero!"

"He's calm in the face of danger, in control of the situation, and even remembers his mission, using this crisis for public relations and marketing of his umbrella!"

"This is the kind of talent our Brand reference, likely Xiaomi Company needs in the future!"

"All of you, watch carefully and learn how he dedicates himself to his work, disregarding his own safety!"

At the scene, all the staff members listened with reverence, genuinely acknowledging the Streamer named Su Yu... Bank lobby.

Su Yu's raised hand paused in mid-air.

This... can the conversation really go like this?

He had only started promoting it to buy time and disrupt the robber's state of mind; who would have thought the other party would just agree immediately.

Oh no, what should I do now?

"Hurry up, weren't you going to sell the umbrella? I agreed, so give it to me!"

The robber's mocking tone, having achieved his trick, came again, this time with a hint of mischief.

Give him the air umbrella? Naturally, he couldn't just give it away so easily; his main task was to stall for time!

So Su Yu, in a moment of quick thinking, cleared his throat and quickly replied.

"1999 yuan per umbrella, Mr. Robber, this is a small business, honest transactions, cash on delivery."

"Bullshit! I don't have money right now!"

"I'll give you one more chance to answer! Are you selling or not?! If not, I'll shoot this woman!"

Upon hearing this, the woman's crying suddenly grew louder.

Helpless, Su Yu could only quickly nod and agree.

"Selling! Why wouldn't I sell it!"

"Doing business is about making friends, Mr. Robber, even though you're in a difficult situation now, when you're out there, you rely on friends."

"The more friends you have, the more opportunities you have, wouldn't you say?"

"Please wait a moment, I'll get a new one from my bag for you."

Su Yu made a move as if to turn around and look for his black backpack.

"Cut the crap, who the hell is friends with you!"

"Let me tell you, I'm not in a difficult situation right now! I'm about to leap over the dragon's gate and become a hidden dragon and crouching phoenix!"

"Stop blabbering!"

"I don't want any new umbrella! I want the one in your hand! Hurry up and throw it over to me!"

The Horse-Face Masked Man's series of replies were spirited.

Listening closely, one could even sense his joyful tone, as if his plan of action for today was on the verge of success.

"Don't give the umbrella to that guy! If you do, the Streamer will be in danger!"

"Exactly, exactly, you definitely can't give it!"

"Without the air umbrella's protection, what about the Streamer's safety! Streamer, you absolutely cannot be foolish and agree to him in a moment of impulse!"

"Just stall for two more minutes! Just two more minutes and the police will arrive! Then all problems can be solved!"

At this critical juncture, somehow, Su Yu inadvertently glanced at the bullet comments in the live stream, and the fans' words instantly made him hesitate.

Indeed, if he gave the umbrella in his hand to the robber, what would happen to him, stripped of the air umbrella's protection?

At a time like this, he couldn't possibly trust the robber to be righteous and keep his word, could he?

"Hurry up! If you stall any longer, I'll shoot!"

Bang!

With another gunshot, a large hole had already been blasted into the ceiling by the robber's firearm!

Clearly, his patience was also running out.

Gritting his teeth, a hint of hidden determination appeared in Su Yu's eyes. Without further hesitation, he fiddled with the small electronic screen in his left hand, then directly threw it in the direction of the robber.

Click!

The crisp sound of the electronic screen hitting the ground rang out.

A distance of seven or eight meters didn't damage the small screen in the slightest.

Seeing that the other party had actually thrown over the remote control device that controlled the air umbrella, the Horse-Face Masked Man's ugly face beneath the mask immediately lit up with joy.

He was indeed still a greenhorn.

Ultimately, he couldn't resist his repeated threats and threw over his only reliance, the air umbrella.

At this point, no one could stop his next plan.

The Horse-Face Masked Man quickly walked up to the small electronic screen and excitedly picked up the item from the ground.

"How do you use this thing? Tell me quickly!"

After throwing out the small electronic screen in his hand, Su Yu had already hidden back behind the sofa. At this moment, his voice came from behind.

"Long press the screen for three seconds to activate the device!"

"Then find a small lightning bolt icon in the function options, hold the side with the circular contact hole, and click the switch to activate the air umbrella!"

The Horse-Face Masked Man looked at the small screen in his hand and, without hesitation, followed Su Yu's steps one by one.

Long press the screen for three seconds.

After activating the device, find the small lightning bolt icon in the function options.

Hold the circular contact hole with your hand, then click the switch!

Zzzzzzzzz!

The next second, a powerful current suddenly surged from the circular contact hole!

The Horse-Face Masked Man was instantly electrocuted, his body convulsing, and with a thud, he fell straight down!
