Meanwhile, Youpan Hu and Kang Jinglong obediently handed over their phones, the cash in their wallets, and their digital cameras as well. In Youpan Hu's eyes, all of it would eventually be returned to him, so he had not even deleted the photos on his phone.
The photos on his phone were selfies he had taken while out visiting prostitutes. He did not care in the slightest; he simply did not believe these men would dare touch his belongings.
At last, the robbers reached the very last row of seats, where Wei Zhao and the others were sitting.
"Your turn. Hurry up and hand over your cash and anything else of value!" By this point, the robbers were growing impatient. The sooner they finished, the sooner they could move on to robbing the passengers in the other buses.
With traffic at a standstill, they could rob people as they pleased. The police cars could not get through, and once this opportunity passed, it would be gone for good.
"Oh, all right." Wei Zhao obediently took out his phone and wallet. Han Jingyi, meanwhile, pulled a stack of banknotes and a tablet computer from her backpack. She did not carry a wallet.
Han Jingyi glanced at Wei Zhao. Seeing that he had not objected, she simply tossed the tablet, her iPhone, and the stack of banknotes into Robber Number Two's woven sack.
Just as Wei Zhao was about to put his phone and wallet into the sack, Robber Number Two stopped him.
"You can keep the phone." Robber Number Two glanced at the device in Wei Zhao's hand. It was an older model that had been on the market for quite some time and was not worth much.
"Oh... all right..." Wei Zhao nodded and casually tossed his wallet into the woven sack. Robber Number Two stared in surprise. Wei Zhao did not even want the wallet? He had simply thrown that in as well?
After tossing it in, Wei Zhao slowly withdrew his hand from the sack and put away the phone he had been holding.
"You lot!" Robber Number Two turned his attention to Wang Xinyan and the others.
"All right..." Wang Xinyan, Bai Weituo, and He Meiyue did as they were told, placing their phones and cash into the robber's woven sack. They had already removed their SIM cards and memory cards, however, so they did not particularly mind losing the phones.
After robbing the last few passengers, Robber Number Two seemed to feel that the haul was disappointingly small. He had not expected the entire bus to be filled with students; they had thought it was a tour bus. If it had been a tour group, those tourists would have been carrying a great deal of money. They might have made off with several hundred thousand yuan. But now, all they had was a few tens of thousands in total, and it left him deeply dissatisfied.
His gaze swept over Wei Zhao, Wang Xinyan, and the others before finally settling on the red cord around Wang Xinyan's neck. He frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of necklace are you wearing? Take it off and give it to me!"
"Ah!" Wang Xinyan froze. She had never expected that, after finishing the robbery, Robber Number Two would still refuse to let her go and would set his sights on the necklace she wore. But that necklace was something she absolutely could not simply remove and hand over. Her face tense and pale, she shook her head and said cautiously, "This... is only an ordinary jade pendant. It is not worth anything. It is not worth much money..."
"Take it off! Didn't you hear me?" Robber Number Two had not expected Wang Xinyan to defy him. But the more she resisted, the more convinced he became that the jade pendant was valuable. If it were worthless, would she be guarding it so carefully?
"I... it really is not worth anything. It just has some sentimental value..." Wang Xinyan hesitated before explaining.
