"Mr. Zhou, please insert the exclusive key into the lock hole!"

The staff member said politely.

Zhou Baichuan quickly took out a special key, inserted it into a lock hole in the round metal door, and turned the key.

Later, the staff member took out a special key that he kept and inserted it into the lock hole.

He and Zhou Baichuan passed the retinal examination and underwent fingerprint verification in front of a retinal detector.

After a series of complicated operations, the huge round metal door finally opened slowly.

The fat man was a little excited at the thought of seeing a large pile of glittering gold bricks immediately.

"Brother Moo, I'm a little excited!"

"Hehe, calm down! Wait for my brother to buy those gold bricks, and give you a few to play with!"

Ye Hao said with a smile.

"Wocao, Brother Hao, you're not kidding me, are you?"

The fat man's eyes widened suddenly.

"What are you teasing you for? Last time you helped me make a lot of money in the stock market, didn't I promise you to reward you well?"

"Wocao, are you really going to give me gold bricks?"

"Of course!"

"Long live Brother Trench!"

The fat man cheered excitedly.

Zhou Baichuan heard the conversation between the two on the side, and was secretly surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Ye Hao twice.

The gold bricks in the vault are all 25 kilograms of large gold bricks, and one piece is worth nearly 9 million yuan. With such a valuable gold brick, this Ye Dong actually casually said that he would give away a few, which is too bold, right?

If Zhou Baichuan hadn't known that Ye Hao was a very rich man, he wouldn't have believed it if he was killed, what Ye Hao just said was true.

Zhou Baichuan took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and said to Ye Hao and the fat man with a smile,

"Ye Dong, Mr. Zhu, inside is the vault where the gold bricks are stored, please come with me!"

With that, he stepped into the vault.

However, as soon as one of his feet entered the vault, he suddenly froze there.

"Oh my God!"

Zhou Baichuan shouted, and his body trembled violently.

"What's wrong, Mr. Zhou?"

Ye Hao didn't know what was going on, so he asked in the back.

"The gold bricks are gone! the gold bricks are gone!"

Zhou Baichuan screamed in horror.

"What?!"

Ye Hao and the fat man were both stunned.

Soon, Ye Hao and the fat man both entered the vault. The staff member outside the door, after hearing Zhou Baichuan's exclamation, also ran into the vault in a panic.

"Oh my God, how can this be?!"

When the staff member saw the inside of the vault, he froze.

The vault was empty, and there was nothing left except for a few wooden shelves scattered on the ground.

Not a single gold brick can be seen!

Ye Hao and the fat man were also surprised when they saw this situation.

"Mr. Zhou, what's going on? Didn't you say that there are two or three hundred gold bricks in the vault? Why haven't we seen any of them?"

Ye Hao frowned.

"That's right, Mr. Zhou, where are the gold bricks you said?"

The fat man also shouted in astonishment.

Zhou Baichuan's face was extremely pale, and his body kept trembling. He didn't seem to hear Ye Hao and the fat man's words at all, just stared blankly at the empty vault.

The staff member next to him was also frightened and stupid.

After a few seconds, Zhou Baichuan seemed to come back to his senses, and yelled angrily at the staff member,

"Where did the gold bricks go?!"

"Mr. Zhou, I don't know! This morning, I went to the vault for a routine inspection, and those gold bricks are still there!"

The staff member was so anxious that he was about to cry.

"Who else has been in the vault today besides you?!"

Zhou Baichuan asked sharply.

"No one else has ever come in but me!"

"How is this possible? How could so many gold bricks suddenly disappear?!"

"I don't know!"

The staff cried.

"Bastard, why are you still standing stupidly? Hurry up and sound the alarm!"

Zhou Baichuan scolded.

"Oh, yes, yes!"

The staff member ran out of the vault in a panic and sounded the siren in the hall outside.

A screeching siren sounded, followed by a muffled thud outside.

Zhou Baichuan frowned tightly and said to Ye Hao seriously,

"Ye Dong, I'm very sorry, maybe you can't leave here for the time being!"

"Mr. Zhou, what do you mean by that?"

Ye Hao asked.

"More than two billion gold bricks stored in the vault have disappeared, and we have sounded the alarm, and the security doors from the fifth basement to the third basement have all been locked. No one can leave until the police get here!"

"No one can leave?!"

"Yes, not only you, but all the staff here can't leave!"

"Mr. Zhou, I also feel sorry that your gold is missing, but this matter has nothing to do with us, right?"

"It's supposed to be none of your business, but unfortunately, you've been caught up in it too. Don't worry, when the police arrive and figure out the situation, you can go!"

Zhou Baichuan said apologetically.

"Then they have to investigate for a while and a half, is it that we can't leave all the time?"

Ye Hao frowned.

"I'm so sorry, that's the case!"

Zhou Baichuan was very embarrassed.

"How's that going to happen? I've got something urgent to do!"

Ye Hao said dissatisfiedly.

He could understand why Zhou Baichuan did this, but he couldn't afford to spend this time.

His heroic mission was not yet complete, and now there were less than five hours left. According to the current situation, gold will definitely not be able to be bought, if he has been trapped here and can't spend the remaining 1.8 billion as soon as possible, then it will be a big trouble!

He's going to die here!

The fat man also cried out dissatisfiedly on the side,

"Mr. Zhou, we came in with you, before you found out that the gold was missing, we didn't even know where the vault was, whether there was gold in it! This matter has nothing to do with us at all, you should let us leave first!"

"I'm so sorry! I know, this should have nothing to do with you, but now the security doors outside are all locked, and the elevator can't run, even if I want to let you go, I can't do it! Not to mention you, even myself, I can't get out of here!"

Zhou Baichuan smiled bitterly.

After Ye Hao heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter.

He thought for a moment, then asked,

"When will the police arrive?"

"Under normal circumstances, it should be there within ten minutes!, however, they may need to understand the situation thoroughly before letting you go!"

"That means we won't be able to leave this place for at least three or four hours?"

"Yes!"
