Plot Twists

The armored bank truck I was assigned to was forced to stop when five people wearing black masks suddenly rushed out and started smashing the windows. I was about to hit the alarm when I realized one of them was my fiancée. Laughing, she raised a water gun and started spraying the bulletproof glass. "Hello, everyone! Our Valentine's Day bank robbery scene is about to begin! Once my boyfriend gets scared and hands over the keys, we'll tell him it was all a Valentine's Day surprise!" Her mother stood outside the window, knocking on the glass with a smile. "Callum, Yvonne wants to test whether you care more about her or money this Valentine's Day. Just play along. Get out and calm her down." At first, I planned to treat it as a private dispute. If I opened the door and dragged her away, the company would probably only dock part of my bonus. But just as my hand touched the door switch, a line of text suddenly appeared before my eyes. [Don't open the door. In your previous life, this was how she got you killed.] I froze. A flood of memories suddenly rushed into my mind. In my previous life, I broke the rules and opened the armored door just to calm her down. In the end, I lost my job and faced a huge lawsuit. She broke up with me because she thought I was too poor. I was torn apart online, branded the clown who couldn't stop simping for his girlfriend. In the end, I was driven to despair and committed suicide. Now, my fiancée was still laughing outside and banging on the glass. I pulled back the bolt on my tactical rifle. "We're under an armed attack by unknown suspects. Possible armored truck robbery. Everyone, load your weapons and prepare to use deadly force!"

Chapter 1

"Callum, you're not seriously going to make me stand out here forever, are you?"

"Open the door!" The five people behind her started shouting too.

Some sprayed the windows with water guns. Others used their phones to record the license plate.

I slowly pulled my hand back, grabbed the tactical rifle, and racked the bolt.

The driver, George Critchlow, glanced at me.

He understood at once and pressed the lock button on the center console. "Deadbolts. Lock everything down!"

The entire armored truck instantly sealed shut.

I picked up the radio and calmly said, "Control, this is Armored Unit Three. We're being blocked by unknown people at the Valentine's Day celebration. They may be armed and are refusing to leave the area."

The warning lights on the roof came on at the same time, followed by a sharp siren.

Red and blue lights flashed across the bulletproof windows.

The crowd taking pictures on the side of the road quickly backed away.

The five people in masks who had been laughing just moments ago also froze.

They were only holding water guns, but once the alarm went off, they no longer dared to take the risk.

Yvonne Levy froze. "Callum, have you lost your mind?"

I pressed the truck's loudspeaker. "Everyone in front of the vehicle, step away immediately. This is an armed bank transport vehicle. No one is allowed to approach or touch the vehicle or its doors. I repeat, step away immediately."

Her face grew darker. "I was preparing a Valentine's Day surprise for you! Do you have any idea how embarrassing you've made me look in front of everyone?"

I looked at her. "Back up."

But she suddenly aimed the water gun at the window. "Didn't you say I'm the person you care about most? Then prove it! You have two choices. Open the door or admit that you only care about money!"

The comments appeared in front of my eyes again.

[She's trying to force you to open the door.]

[Someone is approaching from the rear side of the truck. Don't get out.]

[In your previous life, this was the moment she sent you into a deadly trap.]

I was already completely disheartened.

I picked up the radio and directly requested backup. "The people at the scene continue to approach. Requesting SWAT assistance."

Yvonne finally panicked. "Callum, you actually called the cops?"

I pushed the tactical rifle into firing position. "Why not?"

When Frida Levy, Yvonne's mother, heard the sirens in the distance, she hurried over to Yvonne and lowered her voice. "Tell them to put everything away. If the cops really show up, we're done for!"Yvonne was still stubborn. She refused to admit defeat in front of the livestream camera, so she shouted at the truck. "Callum, turn off the alarm right now!""I'm carrying out an armored transport assignment.""I'm your fiancée!""That has nothing to do with how I handle this situation."My answer made her face turn bright red with anger.Frida quickly walked to the front of the truck and smiled at me. "Callum, I know you take your job seriously, but these young people were just playing around. They got a little carried away, that's all. Turn off the alarm, and Yvonne won't cause any more trouble. Let's all take a step back."I pressed the loudspeaker. "Approaching an armored vehicle with a weapon, blocking its path, or filming inside the vehicle can all create a serious security risk. Do

Once the SWAT team sealed off the intersection, the entire street went quiet.The crowd was evacuated, and the stores quickly pulled down their metal shutters.The SWAT commander walked to the front of the truck and motioned for me to report.I held down the radio. "No one inside the armored vehicle is injured. The deadbolts are fully locked. There are eight people outside. Five of them were holding what appeared to be firearms, but we have confirmed they are plastic water guns. There is also a tall man acting suspiciously. He keeps moving toward the rear of the truck, and he appears to have something hidden near his right waist and abdomen."The commander nodded. "Can we rule out a prank?""No. Until we've searched everyone and checked their belongings, we have to treat this as a high-risk situation."As soon as Frida heard that, she rushed to the edge of the police line. "Officer, this is really just a joke between a couple! That man is my daughter's fiancé, and the people inside the

"Didn't you tell me to find a few actors?""I only told you to find actors!""These actors were also arranged by Howard's company. How is that my fault?""You knew he runs an overseas security business. How could his people possibly be ordinary actors?"The two of them were getting more and more nervous.Taking advantage of their argument, the man in black slowly took a step backward.A SWAT officer immediately grabbed his shoulder. "Don't move!"The man's body instantly went stiff.Another officer moved in from the side and reached toward his right waist. "Please cooperate with the search."The man in black said nothing. He kept his head down, as if trying hard to control his emotions.But in the next second, he suddenly slammed his body into the riot shield in front of him.Bang!The officer holding the shield stumbled back half a step.At the same time, the man in black reached his right hand inside his jacket."He's reaching for something! Control his right hand!" I shouted.I tig

The entire scene suddenly fell silent.A black service pistol lay on the ground beside the blue water guns.The magazine was still full, and the safety was already off.The SWAT officer closest to it quickly kicked the gun away to a safe area.Two other officers held the man in black down and cuffed his hands behind his back.He still tried to struggle, but an officer pressed a knee against his upper back. "Don't move! Fight back again, and we'll take you down!"The man in black finally stopped resisting, but his eyes remained fixed on the gun.The commander put on a pair of gloves and crouched down to inspect it.He removed the magazine, revealing a full row of bullets.Then he pulled back the slide, and a round dropped onto the ground. "Confirmed. It's a real service pistol. Full magazine, and there's a round in the chamber!"The actors who had been insisting that everything was just a prop fell completely silent.One person's hands began to shake so badly that he dropped his water g

Tony shouted with his hands cuffed behind his back. "This has nothing to do with me! Howard was the one who arranged for these people to come!"Yvonne suddenly lunged at him. "So you really do know Howard! You took his money and brought these people here?"The SWAT officers stopped her, but Tony was furious. "Wasn't it you who kept pushing Callum to open the door? You said that if he didn't, you'd post the video and get him fired! I was only helping you plan it!""You're lying!"The two of them started attacking each other with their words right there in front of everyone.Frida rushed to the front of the armored truck and cried out to me. "Callum, please help Yvonne explain! She only wanted to surprise you. She didn't know about the gun, and she had no idea there would be a bomb!"Yvonne looked at me with pleading eyes. "Callum, I really didn't know! Please tell the police we're getting married soon. I would never hurt you!"Just a few minutes ago, she had forced me to open the door t

When Tony saw that the chat history had been exposed, he panicked. "This isn't what you think! That 10,000 dollars was a promotional fee. I had no idea he planned to rob the armored truck!"The investigator asked coldly, "Promote what?"Tony didn't know how to answer.Yvonne suddenly lunged at him. "Why didn't you tell me you took the money? You knew Howard wasn't just some ordinary businessman!"Tony was just as desperate. "Didn't you tell me to contact him? You said regular actors wouldn't be convincing enough, so you wanted people who could take control of the situation! I only wanted to make a video and earn some money. How was I supposed to know he'd bring a gun and a bomb?"The two of them started arguing even more fiercely.Frida, who was hiding against the wall, no longer dared to claim that I had deliberately set them up.Meanwhile, the technicians continued recovering data from Tony's phone.A few minutes later, they played a deleted voice recording.Howard's deep, rough voic

The case hadn't even been made public yet, but the internet was already in an uproar.The secretly recorded video was reposted by countless accounts.The headlines were just as outrageous."Valentine's Surprise Turns Deadly—Guard Boyfriend Refuses to Save Fiancée""Cash Truck Outweighs Eight Years of Love""Fiancée Pleads, Boyfriend Holds Gun"The people who edited the video knew exactly what they were doing.They kept only the clips of Yvonne crying and banging on the window, Frida begging me with her hands clasped together, and the few seconds when I raised my tactical rifle and ordered everyone to back away.Everything else was deleted.The parts where they blocked the truck, banged on the windows, filmed inside the vehicle, and where the man in black was found with a real gun and explosives were all cut out.The comments quickly went out of control.[His girlfriend just wanted a little romance. Did he really have to ruin her life?][Using a company-issued gun to show off. Men like

The results of the case were released over the next few months.Howard and his group were charged with armed robbery, illegal possession of explosives.Their original plan was to use the livestream to make the situation look like a lovers' argument.The moment I opened the truck door, the man in black would take control of the driver's cabin while the others outside would move the cash.If I refused to open the door, they would detonate the device and force the armored truck to stop in a blind spot.Yvonne's job was to pressure me into breaking the rules.Tony oversaw the livestream and buying time.The water guns were meant to make everyone lower their guard.Tony kept insisting that he didn't know the full plan.But the 10,000-dollar transfer and the chat history were enough to prove that he knew Howard wanted the armored truck to remain there for ten minutes and still chose to help.He was arrested and formally charged.His account was permanently banned, and the MCN agency he worke
