Lin Xian pulled back the elastic band and put on the mask.
From now on, he was the expert on passwords. He had to intercept Fat Cat before the real password expert, CC, showed up...
He looked towards where Fat Cat had parked.
Sure enough, there was a chubby figure looking around, wearing the familiar Rhine Cat mask.
He approached, "Fat Cat!"
"Huh?"
Fat Cat turned in surprise! Seeing the Ultraman mask on Lin Xian's face, he asked in confusion, "How did you know my name? I didn't tell..."
"Listen, Fat Cat."
Lin Xian approached quickly, "Not only do I know your name, but I also know that you're planning to kill everyone and keep the money for yourself!"
"I'm not!"
"But in reality, that password expert has deceived you! There's no money in the bank vault, you've just been used."
"Who are you!"
Seeing Ultraman approaching aggressively, Fat Cat panicked! He reached for his waist with his right hand—
Snap!
A hand pressed against the gun at his waist!
Ultraman pressed against Rhine Cat, Lin Xian stared at Fat Cat's flustered eyes:
"If you want to avenge your daughter, then listen to me. I know where there's money in this city!"
"You know about my daughter too!?"
Fat Cat was completely dumbfounded! He stuttered!
Swoosh.
Lin Xian directly took Fat Cat's gun from his waist and put it in his pocket:
"Get in the car!"
...
The van drove on the highway, Fat Cat looked at the rearview mirror, stealing glances at Ultraman beside him.
"Brother..."
Fat Cat swallowed hard:
"What's going on exactly? You better make it clear! Are you really a password expert?"
"I'm not."
"Then what the hell are you—" Fat Cat's anger flared!
"But I can help you get the money to avenge your daughter."
"Brother, tell me." Fat Cat focused on driving.
"The password expert you've been in contact with, did she tell you there's a lot of money in the bank vault?"
"Yeah, she said there are gold bricks!"
"She lied to you. There's not a single cent inside. The vault is full of safes, she just used you to breach the bank's security. Once you're of no use, she'll probably kill you."
"Just saying this, I still can't trust you?" Fat Cat shrugged.
"I'm here to save you, Fat Cat. You'll understand everything when we get into the vault later. See for yourself if there's any money."
"Why did you save me?"
Fat Cat turned to look at Lin Xian.
Lin Xian let out a breath, rubbing his nose through the mask:
"It's not exactly saving you. I have my own motives. I hope you'll listen to me when the time comes and help me deal with CC. Ah... CC, that's the name of the real password expert."
"But I have two questions!" Fat Cat raised his hand.
"Go ahead."
"If there's no real password expert, how are we supposed to get into the bank vault?"
"Don't worry." Lin Xian smiled slightly, "I'm more of an expert than the expert. It'll only take me 10 seconds."
"That's so awesome!" Fat Cat broke into a smile again, his voice cracking once more, "And, I don't care how you know about my daughter... But when you say you can help me get the money to avenge her, is that true?"
Lin Xian nodded:
"Yeah, there are actually many places in this city where you can get money, lots of money, jewelry, gold bars, much safer and more efficient than robbing a bank."
"I've been around this city for a long time, I know how to get these things, without much risk. But..."
Lin Xian looked at his watch:
"But it's definitely too late today. We can only go tomorrow."
"Hey! What's one more day!"
Fat Cat laughed and turned the steering wheel:
"Tomorrow is fine! Today I'll listen to you, you're my big brother! Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it!"
... In no time, they arrived at their destination.
The van parked on the side of the road, opposite the bank, where a black-clad henchman was fiddling with the door.
Fat Cat pointed outside:
"My guy has the bank door unlocked, let's go!"
"Hold on."
Lin Xian grabbed Fat Cat, not letting him get out of the car:
"There's actually something I've been curious about."
"What's that?"
"Your daughter's situation."
Lin Xian looked up at Fat Cat, who turned his head away.
"I only know that your daughter died when she was six, murdered by someone..." Lin Xian said softly, "Can you tell me who killed her? I don't quite understand why someone would specifically target a six-year-old girl?"
Fat Cat kept looking out the window, not speaking.
He took a cigarette from the pack, lit it with a lighter.
The advantage of a big face is that you can smoke with a mask on.
"I know this must be painful for you, Big Face," Lin Xian continued to persuade, "But you really might as well tell me."
"You've seen all kinds of things in this city, I know a lot," Lin Xian said, "I know that the password expert deceived you, I know there's no money in the bank vault, and I also know about your daughter's situation. Maybe I really can help you! I mean... not just in terms of money."
The van was filled with smoke, like a fairyland.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with telling you."
Fat Cat took a deep drag on his cigarette, flicked off the ash.
He pointed to the clock on the car dashboard:
"But it seems we're running out of time."
"No problem, just tell me!"
Lin Xian wasn't going to let the duck fly away once he had it in hand. He promised:
"Don't worry, Big Face, I've robbed this bank several times before, I know the place like the back of my hand! Whatever time you lose, I'll make it up to you later!"
"But these are all things from many years ago..."
Fat Cat sighed, his head lowered, a hint of melancholy on the Rhine Cat mask:
"At the time, my father, you probably won't believe it... despite my appearance, my father was a famous mathematician, he even won the Fields Medal."
"At that time, I was working outside, and my daughter usually stayed at my father's house. One night, she suddenly had a fever and seizures, my father carried her and rushed to the hospital. But then..."
Fat Cat's voice trembled a bit:
"But then... they got into a car accident, a truck ran them both over... ran over them..."
Fat Cat couldn't continue, took a few puffs of his cigarette, paused:
"Later, I investigated for a long time and found out that it wasn't just an accidental car accident! It was murder! It was a premeditated murder!"
"Their target was just to kill my father, my daughter got caught up in it. I don't know why... my father was just a bookworm, he never offended anyone!"
Lin Xian patted Fat Cat's shoulder:
"Who wanted to kill your father? When you say 'they'... that shouldn't be just one person, right?"
"It's an organization."
Fat Cat exhaled a cloud of smoke:
"It's a very mysterious organization, so mysterious that there's no trace of it anywhere. I've been investigating for so long, but apart from a name, I can't find anything else!"
"The name of this organization is..."
Fat Cat crushed the cigarette butt, gritting his teeth:
"The Genius Club!"
