i think he stored the key in TPM, if i don't store it in TPM is my drive can be decrypted?

That's not what happened.

The Bitlocker key is stored in the TPM module. When TPM is disabled, Windows will ask for the recovery key. When TPM is re-enabled the computer will boot normally again.

Bitlocker is very secure and can't be bypassed so easily in the way you think.

The default configuration for Bitlocker is that you need a TPM to use it. You can configure Windows to allow Bitlocker without the use of a TPM, but that won't affect currently encrypted partitions, if Windows will even allow you to change the configuration by that point.
