96. Bank robbery
It was Saturday, Su Zhen found that he didn't have much cash on his body, and he was going to go to the bank to withdraw some money, although credit cards can be used in most cases in the United States, but he still needs to bring some cash with him, especially a small amount of cash. When you need to tip, if you don't have a small amount of cash, you can find it extremely embarrassing.
This is a typical small town bank, because it is really small~~ The appearance is a very ordinary Western-style house, not the kind of building in the city, if it is not for the sign of the bank at the door, you would never think that this will be a bank, its scale is not even comparable to the branch offices of many banks in China.
Su Zhen walked into the bank, a look, there are only two windows, at this moment there are still five or six people queuing up to handle the business, there is no calling machine this year, deposits and withdrawals can only be queued up, if you want to open an account or a loan, you need to go to the other side and the customer representative one-on-one interview, the window is not able to handle, in fact, do not think that the United States is very developed in this regard, in fact, even ten years later, the United States, still use the way of personal queuing, and there is no call system, and the various financial systems are very ancient, On the contrary, it is the reason that the country has benefited from the late start of the financial industry, and all kinds of advanced equipment have been used.
And the U.S. bank's fee system is also very pitiful, let's just say the bank card, and the domestic debit card generally has an annual fee of 10 yuan, while the debit card in the United States hehe, that is a monthly management fee, the minimum is five dollars per month, and the maximum is $25 (excluding the basic savings account for students under the age of 18, but that also charges a monthly management fee of $1). In addition, debit cards generally have a minimum deposit amount, if you can't reach the required deposit amount, sorry, the management fee will be greatly increased.
Just as Su Zhen was waiting for the party, the bank door was opened with a bang, and two people rushed in and shouted "Don't move, rob, squat."
For a while, the people in the bank were stunned, the robber saw that everyone in the bank was still standing stupidly, and immediately fired a shot into the sky, all of them squatted down in a panic, Su Zhen also squatted on the side with his head held honestly like everyone else, he was still very self-aware, under normal circumstances, it was not difficult for him to put down the two of them, but the other party had a gun, he didn't think he could be faster than a bullet, he could only sigh that he was unlucky, this kind of thing can be touched by himself, it seems that he can buy lottery tickets.
After squatting, Su Zhen had time to carefully observe the two robbers (why are these two words so awkward), judging from the body shape, both of them should be relatively young, one of them has a gun in his hand, and the other is holding two machetes, both of them are wearing masks. The one with the gun patrolled the hostages, while the other with a knife ran to the counter and threatened the staff with money.
The staff honestly put the money in their pockets, the whole robbery process was very fast, and the two were ready to leave after they succeeded, but when the two passed one of the hostages, the hostage suddenly burst out, and directly shot down the gun in the hands of the robber with the gun with a whip leg, and then knocked it out with an elbow blow, and the other robber reacted and raised the knife to cut over, but the other party lightly let go, he cut an air, the other party grabbed his hand holding the knife, a reverse twist, he immediately rolled on the ground in pain, howling, The knife was thrown aside, and the whole process was very clean and neat, without any mud and water, obviously military style.
Mark was a former Navy SEAL, and he was proficient in grappling and shooting, even in the highly skilled Navy SEALs. However, after retiring from the army, he did not live well, the various skills he learned in the army were useless after retiring, and he couldn't even find a decent job, and finally got a job as a plainclothes security guard in a bank in Harvard Town with the help of a friend, responsible for patrolling the halls, helping to maintain order, and assisting customers in difficulty.
Although he is a security guard, he does not have any law enforcement rights, and naturally he cannot carry weapons, so the work rules particularly emphasize that if there is a gangster robbery or the like, he should call the police in time.
Mark is very satisfied with this job, and his usual work is also serious and responsible, which has been well received by his boss and customers.
The days passed like this, until today, when something big finally happened to the bank, and on this day Mark was patrolling the hall as usual, when two armed gangsters rushed in and robbed. Mark was also mixed in with the customers and was forced to squat, but he was very calm, judging from the situation where the two gangsters trembled slightly, the two were obviously novices, very nervous, and only one had a gun in his hand, so Mark had a bottom in his heart and decided to subdue the two gangsters with his own hands, as long as the one with the gun in his hand was solved, the one with the knife was not a threat at all.
So just as the two gangsters were about to escape, the moment they passed Mark, Mark made a move, and so the above happened.
Several customers in the hall were stunned, and when they came back to their senses, the two gangsters were already rolling on the ground, and only Su Zhen saw everything that had happened.
Soon the hall burst into applause, and the customers applauded Mark's courage and athleticism.
After that, it's the police, just like in the movie, the police are always the last to come out and clean up the mess, the police take the gangsters away, and they also make a note of everyone in the bank, and Mark goes to the police station together as an important witness.
Su Zhen originally wanted to go up and get to know this righteous and courageous hero, but his eyes were very hot and the other party stretched out his hand, after all, he himself was just a wild man, and there was no comparison with a professional like the other party, but the other party went to the police station together, Su Zhen had to give up, took the money and went back.
But it doesn't end there.
When Mark went to work in the bank as usual the next day, patrolling the halls, what was thrilling yesterday in the eyes of ordinary people was nothing more than pediatrics in his eyes, and when he was on a mission in the army before, what wind and waves had not been seen? There are several lives in his hands, so he naturally doesn't care too much about this kind of small scene, but the admiring eyes of several female staff in the hall still make him a little fluttery.
Just when he felt good about himself, the manager of the branch appeared in front of him, you must know that the manager of this branch rarely appears in the hall, and when he saw the manager walking towards him, he hurriedly greeted the other party.
The manager asked Mark to lie down in his office, and Mark was moved, and it seemed that it had something to do with yesterday's events, so he followed.
Upon arriving at the manager's office, the manager motioned for Mark to sit down, and when Mark sat down, the manager handed him an envelope.
Mark was overjoyed when he saw the envelope, thinking that it was because he had subdued the gangsters and protected the bank's property yesterday, and the bank had given him a bonus.
But when Mark opened the envelope, he saw that it was not what he had imagined, it was not cash, but something he could never have imagined.
