Chapter 969 Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune
After Chen Feng took an online car-hailing ride into Los Angeles, he felt a vague sense of discomfort and crisis, which made him have the urge to leave immediately.
He guessed that he was probably being targeted.
As for who is targeting him, the most suspicious person is definitely Molly's cousin.
Sure enough, if people from these big families really want to take action, they are totally unreasonable.
Normally, if he, a foreigner from a foreign country, comes to America, he really has no ability to resist if the other party really wants to attack him.
But Chen Feng is still very confident in his super luck and confident that God will continue to protect him.
Of course, even if he knew there was danger, he still had to avoid it.
After all, you can't joke with your personal safety, let alone gamble with your life.
So, Chen Feng suddenly said to the online ride-hailing driver: "I don't want to go to XX Hotel. Please turn left."
"Sorry, sir, I followed the route agreed by the system and cannot deviate from the route."
The online ride-hailing driver was very principled and refused Chen Feng's request.
Chen Feng didn't embarrass him and said, "Well, you keep driving first. When we get to the hotel, I will complete your order, but I won't get out of the car. You have to keep driving for me."
Just as the online ride-hailing driver was about to refuse, Chen Feng already took out a hundred dollars and handed it to him. He immediately swallowed his refusal and took the dollar bill with his free hand, and said happily: "Okay.
,gentlemen."
The car continued to follow its original route, and in about ten minutes it arrived at the destination that Chen Feng originally set on the taxi app, which was the four-star hotel where he stayed last time.
But now he felt unsafe, so of course he didn't want to get off the bus so soon.
"Keep going."
Chen Feng said to the driver.
"Sir, where are you going?" the driver asked with some confusion.
Chen Feng had just been deliberately observing whether there were any cars following behind. After more than ten minutes of observation, it seemed that no cars were following. Therefore, all he could think of was the leakage of mobile phone positioning and taxi-hailing APPs.
Chen Feng prefers mobile phone positioning because it is the most direct and best way to monitor and locate specific targets in the information age. This is how relevant law enforcement agencies and some hackers monitor and locate specific targets.
With the Lampson family's background and strength, they can fully mobilize the power of black and white, and it is not difficult to track him with a mobile phone.
Therefore, the best thing to do is to throw away the mobile phone or throw away the mobile phone card.
But Chen Feng obviously didn't want to throw away his mobile phone and mobile phone card. If he threw it away, how would he use it to communicate with the outside world?
As for turning off the phone, it is basically useless. It may be useful to remove the phone card, but he will not be able to use the phone for the time being.
After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Feng turned off his phone and removed the phone card.
Then, he had time to answer the driver's question: "Let's go to USC."
After saying that, Chen Feng handed over another Franklin card.
The driver quickly took it again and said happily: "Okay, sir."
At this time, the sense of danger that Chen Feng had always felt was still there, but it had been reduced a lot. Especially as the driver changed roads several times, the initial sense of danger became weaker and weaker.
This made Chen Feng's originally tense mood finally relax.
At the same time, Bratton, who had been tracking Chen Feng with two people through mobile phone positioning, was confused because the moving red dot on the tracking display suddenly disappeared.
His first suspicion was whether the tracking device was broken, but he thought it was impossible. This was a military product and could not be broken so easily.
The second suspicion is that the target person they were tracking had an accident and his phone was destroyed.
As for the third possible suspicion: the target person turned off his phone and took out the phone card, which in his opinion was the lowest probability.
Because he felt that it was impossible for Chen Feng to find out that he was being tracked. After all, he was still seven or eight kilometers away from Chen Feng.
"Try it and see if the instrument is broken."
Bratton handed the instrument to his subordinate, who knew these electronic instruments better.
After the subordinate took it, he tested it and reported: "There is nothing wrong with this instrument."
After Bratton paused for a moment, he immediately ordered the other man driving the car: "Turn on the siren and rush to the place where the target disappeared as quickly as possible."
"Yes, boss."
The siren sounded immediately, and the Audi car, which was originally disguised as an ordinary person's car, immediately began to accelerate and drove towards the place where the red dot disappeared at a fast speed.
A few minutes later, the car arrived at a street intersection not far from the hotel.
There are no traces of a recent traffic accident here.
Therefore, if nothing happened to the target person, then it is very likely that something happened to the target person’s cell phone.
Bratton thought so.
As for Chen Feng, who discovered something was wrong and turned off his phone and removed the SIM card, Bratton didn't believe it.
After all, according to the information investigated, Chen Feng is just an ordinary person. He may have a little money, but he is an ordinary person with a little money, and it is impossible for him to be so alert.
Unless someone on their side leaks it to Chen Feng, this possibility is extremely slim.
After all, Chen Feng is a genuine member of the Dragon Kingdom. He is completely unfamiliar with the place here. How can he have connections with them? Let alone know the people on their side.
"Go and adjust the surveillance here and check the whereabouts of that red Chevrolet."
Bratton ordered again.
They had already determined that Chen Feng came to Los Angeles via an online taxi. As for the license plate number of the online taxi, as police officers, of course they had already found it.
"Yes, sir."
The subordinate who was not driving immediately took out a tablet computer and started operating it. It didn't take long to call up the monitoring of this section of the road. After some comparison and identification, it was basically confirmed that Chen Feng had never gotten off the online car-hailing car.
.
"Did he find something wrong and turn off his phone and remove the SIM card?"
Now that Bratton thought about this possibility, he felt a little unbelievable.
"How did he find out?"
While Bratton was full of doubts, he then asked his men to continue to retrieve the surveillance video, and soon located the online car-hailing car, and saw that the target person had indeed never gotten out of the online-hailing car.
So, Brinton asked his men to target the online ride-hailing car and start tracking the online ride-hailing car.
At the same time, the sense of crisis lingering in Chen Feng's heart suddenly became stronger again, which meant that the other party had found him again.
Chen Feng cursed secretly and immediately said to the driver: "Take me to the busiest shopping mall nearby."
"Ah, sir, aren't you going to the University of Southern California?" the driver asked in surprise.
"Yes, I won't go for the time being."
"Okay, sir, although I'm not very familiar with this place, I also know that there is a very busy shopping mall nearby. I will take you there."
A few minutes later, the door of the online car-hailing car opened. Chen Feng quickly got out of the car and plunged into this bustling large shopping mall.
He quickly bought a set of winter casual clothes in a clothing store and also bought a woolen hat.
Ten minutes later, he changed into this new set of clothes from the toilet cubicle, and then walked directly to the underground parking lot.
He wandered around the underground parking lot casually.
Soon a blue Buick drove up from the front. Chen Feng immediately raised his hand and waved left and right at the car. He happened to hold two Franklins in his hand.
Sure enough, this trick is used all over the world, and the other party immediately braked hard and stopped the car.
"What are you doing?" There was a thin, fair young man in the car, wearing glasses and looking quite polite.
"My car broke down, can you take me out?"
"Of course, but where are you going?"
"You can go wherever you want, and I'll get off the bus with you. If you agree, these two hundred dollars will be yours?"
The other party was also very happy, "OK, you can get in the car."
Chen Feng immediately went over to open the door and got in the car. The car quickly restarted and took Chen Feng out of the underground parking lot of this large shopping mall.
The other party was very talkative and took the initiative to introduce himself as Jerry, the owner of a handicraft store in the shopping mall. He said that the business in the store was not bad, and he even gave Chen Feng a good sales pitch.
Chen Feng listened for the time being and dealt with it one after another.
Almost an hour later, Jerry drove his car and stopped in front of a villa.
"Hi, buddy, this is my girlfriend's house. She just had a small party with some friends today. Are you interested in going in and joining in the fun?" Jerry invited enthusiastically.
"Thank you, no, I still have things to do." Chen Feng declined politely.
"Man, I don't know what happened to you, but it's definitely not the car that broke down." Jerry said with sympathy as if he had seen through everything, "If you are having a conflict with your girlfriend or wife, you can try
Follow me to meet a few new friends and relax."
"No need. See you next time."
Chen Feng didn't want to chat with him any more here, because the lingering sense of crisis in his heart still existed. Although it didn't deepen much, it didn't decrease significantly either.
This made Chen Feng feel very uncomfortable. Did he have to leave Los Angeles?
…
After trying to clear the way with sirens and speeding, Bratton finally blocked the ride-hailing car.
Originally, according to the original plan, Bratton would not have contacted the target person so early, let alone arrest him directly.
If you want to frame someone, you have to pay attention to the occasion and evidence.
There was also an online ride-hailing driver in the car. Could it be that the driver was also framed?
But now he feels that Chen Feng is too careless and will have many nightmares at night. The sooner he is arrested, the better.
Therefore, he didn't care about too many details and planned to arrest him first.
But his calculations were undoubtedly wrong. After he tried his best to successfully intercept the online ride-hailing car, he discovered that the target mission was no longer in the car.
This was so fucked up that he immediately cursed.
After asking the confused online ride-hailing driver, I found out that Chen Feng got off the bus at a large shopping mall almost half an hour ago.
The three people on Bratton's side couldn't help but curse after hearing this.
They had no choice but to go to the large shopping mall first, then find the person in charge, and ask to see today's surveillance video on the grounds of a police investigation.
Then, the three of them began to search for Chen Feng in these surveillance cameras.
There are too many people in this mall. It is not easy for them to accurately find Chen Feng from the numerous surveillance videos and then determine his final whereabouts.
But they were professionals after all and had already had experience in this area. After working for more than half an hour, they finally determined that Chen Feng had left with a blue Buick in the underground parking lot.
Finally finding clues again, Bratton was very happy. He felt that he would be able to catch him this time.
The three of them came out of the administrative office area on the third floor of the shopping mall and walked into the elevator together. Bratton gave the order and said: "Next, we will divide into two groups. Jason and I will go together. William, you will drive to me with the tracking equipment."
Chase, if you catch him, arrest him directly, just find any reason."
William asked with some confusion: "Boss, what are you and Jason doing together?"
Bratton smiled and said: "Let's just drive a car and arrest people who are closely related to this guy. This is just in case."
Bratton has obtained Chen Feng's personal life information, including information about Brina.
If Chen Feng can't catch him or is escaped by him, he can definitely use this Brina to force him to submit.
William then nodded somewhat suddenly.
Jason suddenly asked in surprise: "Why doesn't this elevator move?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole elevator suddenly trembled, and the three people in the elevator all trembled in their hearts.
"What's going on?" Bratton asked with a pale face.
What answered him was that the elevator suddenly shook again, and then they felt themselves flying up, with their feet off the ground, but the elevator suddenly dropped.
The three people in the elevator, including Bratton, couldn't help but scream.
Then there was a bang, and the elevator dropped vertically from the third floor to the second underground floor. Everyone in the mall could feel the huge vibration of the heavy object falling to the ground.
…
Just when Chen Feng was thinking about running away from Los Angeles, the feeling of being with him just now suddenly disappeared.
This surprised Chen Feng, but he was also quite surprised.
Why did it suddenly disappear?
Chen Feng couldn't figure it out, so he didn't go into it further.
He was lucky enough to catch a taxi on the side of the road.
You know, it's not easy to hail a taxi here in Los Angeles, especially in a slightly remote place.
"Go to USC."
After getting in the car again, Chen Feng felt much better.
After all, he was looking for Brina and planned to give her a surprise. Chen Feng would definitely keep his word.
…
Robert received news from the police below that when Bratton and two of his men went to the mall to perform a mission, the elevator in the mall suddenly failed and plummeted from the third floor to the first floor. Bratton and the other three were seriously injured on the spot and fell into a coma.
Unfortunately, one of the other two men died on the spot, and the other was seriously injured and unconscious.
In other words, not only did Bratton fail to do what he was told, but he himself and two subordinates even lost their lives.
The more Robert thought about it, the angrier he became. If Bratton were here, he really wanted to strangle him to death.
How can you do this? I just asked you to capture an ordinary person, but in the end, one person on your side was killed and two were seriously injured, and the entire army was wiped out.
