Chapter 1121 Bat: Shouldn't you get off my back?
Chapter 1121 Bat: Shouldn't you get off my back?
“I am her firstborn son! Those days were the best time of my life... We lived for thirty years in the mirror of the sixth dimension, just her and me, mother and son…”
"Calm down, Li Chengfeng. When you and your mother were in the sixth dimension, time had no meaning at all."
"...After she found me, she took me out of the FBI's exploitation and kept me by her side. We spent a long time together, and for thirty years, she only cared about and raised me."
"Uh, the FBI is exploiting you? You should at least have a conscience when you speak..."
“Our bond is stronger than that of my other sons, because none of them have spent as much time with her as I have!”
"That's right, my mother and her other three sons were practically fighting tooth and nail."
"Thirty years is not a long time. I think... compared to thirty thousand years, thirty years is just the time it takes for a heartbeat to pass..."
"That's enough, I think I already know what you're going to say next..."
"Thirty years, oh thirty years! Iris, oh iris! Ophiuchus, oh Ophiuchus! Quack! Mother! I really love you so much!"
"I've had enough of you mother-obsessed bastards!" Bruce felt the hairs on his body stand on end. "After that tongue-twisting, I feel like my Batmobile is filthy!"
"Waaah... Waaah... Yaya... Hehehehe!"
Watching Li Chengfeng being forced to memorize tongue twisters by his mother and children's overbearing affection, Bat sighed deeply.
Even if he were cured, he'd still be drooling over it.
However, Li Chengfeng was not Horus, that bald, father-obsessed, and patriarchal man. After venting his anger, he gradually returned to normal.
Then they placed the gift boxes that had spilled out of the crack on the back seat of the Batmobile.
“Mother has really prepared everything. Not only Jormungandr, Sephiroth, and John Lee, but also Rosemary, Lori, Trish, and Raven... Oh, and Bart and Wind, plus your bunch of chirping little birds…” Li Chengfeng looked at the gift boxes one after another and curled his lips. “Tsk, sometimes the love between grandparents and grandchildren is really unreasonable.”
Seeing that Li Chengfeng had completely calmed down, Bruce increased the car's speed, constantly weaving through traffic.
Even in broad daylight, there are quite a few cars on the road in Gotham City.
Bruce can move freely even without using the power of a six-dimensional being.
Just like he always did every day before.
Gotham Bank doesn't just have one branch; besides the main branch located in an old building, there are many branches in various parts of Gotham.
After all, if everyone in a city crowds into one bank to conduct business, it's bound to be packed to the brim.
So even though it was the sixth robbery this month, the bank that issued the alarm was actually being robbed for the first time.
When the Batmobile stopped not far from the bank, the birds had already reached the roof of Gotham Bank's fourth branch.
Bruce fired a grappling hook from the passageway next to the bank, and Li Chengfeng jumped onto his back without hesitation.
"Can't you just fly up there yourself?"
"You said we shouldn't use our abilities to prevent unexpected situations," Li Chengfeng said with a grin. "Oh dear, I'm just a beautiful girl with no strength to even kill a chicken. What am I supposed to do in a den of dragons and tigers like Gotham City?"
"What should I do? Salad!"
Bruce, whose tone and manner of speaking were increasingly resembling Li Chengfeng's, rolled his eyes.
Then the grappling hook tightened, bringing Li Chengfeng to the rooftop of the bank.
"Have you thoroughly investigated the internal situation?"
“Well, I was just about to tell you…” As the oldest bird in the Bat family, Dick Grayson was quite prestigious, and the Robins were happy to follow his orders. “The troublemakers and the orphans have already been investigated. These people are not native to Gotham… or rather, they are a group of idiots who just moved to Gotham and are trying to integrate into the local customs.”
“Idiot…do you really need to use such a descriptive term? They are criminals no matter what.” Bruce glanced at Dick, then held out his hand. “Let me see the scene.”
“By their nature, they are indeed criminals,” Jason Todd muttered, “but judging from their behavior, the idiots are already quite civilized…they are just a bunch of morons.”
“Jason, you need to calm down… You need to understand that while Gotham has many criminals, apart from the top bastards, the vast majority of criminals… from your perspective, are just idiots.” Bruce sighed, then looked at the surveillance screen, his eyes widening instantly. “Wait, wait, why is Tim in there!? And why is he being held hostage!?”
“It’s all because our third son is so unlucky,” Dick sighed. “Tim was supposed to go to a meeting, but then he remembered that the group had a loan agreement to sign with Gotham Bank’s fourth branch… Oh, don’t worry, it’s us who are lending money to Gotham Bank… Since it’s on the way, we decided to take care of it all at once.”
"And so our poor Tim was caught by Shui Lingling like that?" Li Chengfeng peered down from Bruce's shoulder. "But how come he got the treatment that no one else got... being tied to a chair alone?"
"Because one of the robbers was an employee of Wayne Enterprises...of course he knew the president."
"So, while robbing the bank, they also planned to kidnap and extort money from the Wayne Group?"
"Yes, one billion US dollars, in cash."
"Haha... a billion US dollars." Li Chengfeng chuckled twice. "What else can I say besides 6? Two of bamboo, I think you're right, these guys are just a bunch of idiots... That's a whole ten tons of banknotes! What did they use to carry it away? Their backpacks!?"
The birds all shrugged.
Let alone Li Chengfeng.
They were also puzzled.
This was basically the dumbest robber they had ever encountered in their vigilante careers.
"Alright, now that the situation is clear, let's get moving!" Bruce put away the surveillance video and began to give orders. "Nightwing and Red Hood, you two go in through the back door and check Tim's condition... Damian, uh, Robin, you and Orphan go in through the right-side ventilation shaft. I need you to be able to deal with the highest threat at any time... The troublemakers and Batgirl, take control of all the security systems inside Gotham Bank and trap them... In short, the first priority is to ensure the safety of the hostages!"
"clear."
The birds answered in unison and immediately took action.
Their agile skills and professional actions are in no way inferior to the best graduates of the FBI Academy.
"Tsk, you really hit the jackpot."
"Let's put these things aside for now..."
Bruce's hoarse voice, typical of someone with late-stage throat cancer, reappeared, and he turned to give Li Chengfeng a look that suggested "the bat doesn't approve."
"...Shouldn't you get off my back?"
