The sharp friction between tires and the ground, fierce gunfire, and the roar of explosions came from the speakers of the small-screen TV, which seemed somewhat distorted and weird, followed by the host's smooth voice-over, "The above is the latest news from our station
From the video data, we can see..."
Turning down the volume, Chu Tangge and his party looked dazed in the small dark room, filled with smoke, strong smell of potion, and the bandages were basically all stained.
"Shooting in downtown, rocket launchers... Polar Glacier is completely crazy!"
"Don't forget there are heavy machine guns. Aren't they crazy a long time ago...Brother Chu, you were talking about the guy in the sports car before, right? This shooting skill is exaggerated..."
"Yeah, it's like a movie, with special effects added. A person is in a car, holding both guns at the same time, firing from all directions, and he actually hits the target. This is unscientific!"
"And this car skill, have you noticed that when the submachine gun fired, the centrifugal force was so strong that one tire floated, and it was still drifting on a straight line. No matter what you think, I am convinced anyway..."
The picture on the screen was not very clear, and the angle was not good. It was probably captured by a surveillance camera in some distance. Only a few cars could be seen in a surrounding posture, and the fiery red sports car in the center was spinning as if out of control.
Dots of fire were looming... Putting aside the fierce gunfire, this looked more like an accident scene, with nothing special about it.
But this is for ordinary people. For professionals, the scattered and blurry images are enough to put them in their shoes. Coupled with a certain amount of mental reasoning, they can roughly understand the situation at the scene. As for the gunman in the out-of-control sports car
, the marksmanship and driving skills displayed under absolute adversity, I have to say, shocked the group of people in front of the TV.
They know very well that those operations that look cool and cool actually represent absolute confidence and scene control!
Chu Dange, who was sitting in the front row, did not participate in the discussion. He just stared at the TV screen and smoked incessantly. When the video material was played, he began to wave people away, "It's time to leave. Let's go back to rest and recuperate...Nan Song
, bring me a blanket, I’ll rest here tonight.”
"Here?" The man named Nan Song was stunned when he heard the words, and then he realized what he was talking about and smiled, "Brother Chu, you are the most seriously injured. You haven't had time to rest since you got off the plane yesterday. Take a shower and go back to the house and lie down.
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on this place. If there is any latest situation, I will wake you up as soon as possible."
Chu Dange waved his hand: "No, I can't sleep until I see the result."
"Huh? Brother Chu, do you think something else will happen next?"
"Of course!" He nodded without hesitation. After a pause, Chu Dange looked up at the puzzled team members and raised his eyebrows. "You all think this is over?"
"Otherwise?" All the team members looked at each other in confusion. Finally, Nan Song scratched his head and replied, "People were also saved, and the other party suffered heavy casualties. Is it possible that this successful operation has a follow-up? It's unlikely, according to the
According to the analysis of intelligence data, the 70 or 80 elite gunmen are almost the same forces as Polar Glacier and several other organizations in the Ancient European Alliance. At this stage, most of the forces that can be gathered in Los Angeles, if they want to take action, they will have to mobilize people from Europe.
Come here, we won’t be here for a while.”
Chu Dange opened his mouth, shook his head and murmured: "What I'm worried about is not the follow-up actions on the polar glaciers..."
"Then who else..." His eyes fell on the TV screen, and he saw a wanted portrait of a person sitting in a car whose upper body was obviously taken by street surveillance. It was blurry and only the blond hair, aquiline nose and other notable features could be roughly seen.
, was stunned, and asked tentatively in disbelief, "He...him?"
"Yeah." He sighed and nodded, "You don't know very well, but this person has never been a master of trouble. Moreover, he has a criminal record and successful experience in fighting an organization alone..."
"..."
※※※
The dark night, dim street lights, and slightly empty and desolate roads.
Next to the road is a small automatic gas station, still located in Los Angeles, but already out of the city. Not far away is a 24-hour convenience store. Several cars are parked in front of the door. The warm and soft atmosphere emanates from the store and the hanging door.
The light dissipates the darkness of the night within a certain range, and the sight of it can't help but make people feel a little warm.
As a result, it attracted a lot of passer-by business.
For example, a police car was turning in from a crossing without its lights on, but the black and white lines of the car still made Xie Wei's heart beat faster a few times while sitting in the car, and she subconsciously looked away, but then she calmed down.
Come down, because what she is sitting in is not a red sports car that is riddled with holes, but an ordinary taxi. There is no reason for it to be investigated.
But after a moment, she couldn't help but become nervous. She lay with her curvy upper body in front of the window, holding her breath and looking at the convenience store not far away. A blond foreign man wearing a baseball cap and a paper bag in his hand walked out the door after shopping.
, happened to bump into two policemen who had parked their cars and entered the store, and they hit each other, and both sides were stunned.
Immediately, the two policemen moved out of the way, and the blond man nodded as if to express his gratitude. The two parties briefly chatted for a few words, and the atmosphere was good. Then they passed each other, the blond man left with his bag, and the two policemen pushed open the door and entered the store.
"Huh..." Inside the car, Xie Wei let out a long sigh of relief. She sat back in the passenger seat and looked at the blond man in the rearview mirror walking over. He first put the paper bag on the roof of the car, took away the gas nozzle and put it back to its original position.
Then I picked up the paper bag, opened the driver's side door, and got in with the cool night breeze.
Opening the paper bag, he took out a cup and handed it over, "Sorry, I forgot to ask you what flavor you like, so I'd like a cup of mocha."
"Uh, thank you." Xie Wei was slightly startled, but when she came to her senses, she didn't hesitate to be polite. She pursed her lips, nodded in thanks, and reached out to take the coffee cup.
"You're welcome, don't you like it?" Tang Chao looked sideways and took out another cup from the bag, "There is also espresso, but it's a bit bitter. You can drink this cup if you like."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mocha is usually made of one-third espresso and two-thirds milk foam, with a little chocolate syrup added, because there are chocolate and
Due to the milk, the overall taste will be sweeter, which is more suitable for women to drink.
This is why Tang Chao handed over the mocha first, but in fact he knew that the other party didn't like drinking mocha. Xie Wei's taste was a bit strong, or a bit pure, and she liked the original bitter taste of coffee, and espresso could satisfy this very well.
point.
Just as they were about to exchange, they saw Xie Wei hugging Mocha, shaking her head with a smile: "Don't bother, you picked well, I like Mocha."
"Uh..." This time it was Tang Chao's turn to be stunned and blinked inexplicably. Did I remember it wrong? It's impossible. We drank together several times and it was obvious... On the surface, he said, "Oh."
That's good, it seems I'm lucky, hehe, hehe..."
He laughed a few times, put the coffee in the cup holder next to the gear, and started the car.
"What did you just say to them?"
"Um?"
"Those two policemen."
"Oh, it's nothing, just chatting about the weather and complaining about the Dodgers team... The baseball team I'm wearing is the one on my hat. They are Dodgers fans. The team's record has been relatively bad recently. They are very distressed. I comforted them a few words."
While driving the taxi away from the gas station, Tang Chao replied casually.
Xie Wei nodded lightly, with a calm expression. She seemed calm, but her inner thoughts were not like that. She had only seen this kind of scene in which the police and criminals didn't know each other, passed each other and even talked and laughed. She had only seen it in movies and TV shows before.
, the feeling is not too strong. Now that it is actually being staged and witnessing the whole process with my own eyes, it is a somewhat different and exciting experience.
Of course, this was just a small episode. Looking at the gas station and convenience store fading away in the rearview mirror, Xie Wei hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Can you tell me what happened? And
Piqiu, the others, and you happened to show up in Los Angeles..." After a pause, seeing Tang Chao's expression move slightly, he added, "If it's inconvenient, then..."
"It's okay, I should explain." To be honest, Tang Chao was actually a little hesitant. When he went to buy coffee just now, he left the choice to the other party. If Xie Wei left when he came back, there would be no need to mention it again, but Xie Wei
He didn't leave, but even asked, then...it's okay to talk, there are some things that really need to be explained.
After thinking for a while, he organized his words, "Generally speaking, this incident was an accident. There were many elements of chance and coincidence in it. To put it simply, there was a big shot who was about to die soon, and he took a fancy to your junior, that is, the one named
Girl Tang Xiaotang’s heart is the key to his survival, so we sent someone to kidnap her..."
"Ralph?" Xie Wei connected the clues in an instant, and was inevitably angry, "No wonder Tangdou said before that the old man looked at her strangely, so that's the problem!"
Nodding slightly, Tang Chao said calmly: "His full name is Ralph Lane. He is a high-level member of a certain, um, mafia-like force in Europe. He is also a member of an underground organization..."
"Mafia? Member of the underground organization?" Xie Wei couldn't help being stunned when she heard this. These things were undoubtedly far away from her life and difficult to understand, so she asked bluntly, "Is he very powerful?"
"To a certain extent, yes, especially in Europe, the energy that can be mobilized is extremely wide." After a pause, looking at Xie Wei who couldn't help but look uneasy and worried, Tang Chao said with relief, "But don't worry, he
I won't be able to survive for a few days, but if I don't survive tonight, I might not have the chance to set foot on European soil again."
The tone was light, but there was an undoubted affirmation. Xie Wei heard it. Although she was still a little confused, she didn't ask any more questions and listened to Tang Chao say again, "As for those people you mentioned on Ball... I don't know them."
, but you have seen their organization members in China, and you have seen them too.”
Xie Wei was not surprised by this. In fact, she had already suspected it, but Pi Qiu had been unwilling to say anything, and it was difficult for her to press him. Now that she heard Tang Chao's statement, she couldn't help but pursed her lips: "It was the little boy in the mountains last year.
Temple and the gang that appeared in the bank robbery a few months ago, I remember one with the surname Zong, one with the surname Gao, who seems to be the captain, and Tangdou's classmate, the boy named Ren Buping?"
"Yes, they all come from a special department in the country, similar in nature to national security, but the business scope is different. The name is Kyushu Uprising. The people you see on the ball are the overseas members of Kyushu Uprising."
After frowning and clarifying the relationship, Xie Wei looked hesitant, "Then they secretly protected us this time because of domestic instructions..." She shook her head in denial, which didn't make sense. Although she was born in the Xie family, she was still a senior leader of a state-owned bank.
, can be regarded as a person of status, but Xie Wei feels that she is quite far away from the level of the rise of Kyushu she just heard about. Excluding this point, and talking about personal relationships, she recalled the past dealings with Zong Qing, Gao Changfeng and others, but only a few
We only met two or three times, and there was no friendship at all.
"Well...the problem actually lies with me."
Xie Wei, who was thinking hard, turned her head in astonishment. Tang Chao smiled bitterly and spread his hands apologetically, "My relationship with the rise of Kyushu is rather complicated. To use an inappropriate analogy, it is the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Shuibo Liangshan. They have always wanted to recruit me.
But I am used to being free-spirited, so I didn’t agree..."
After thinking about it for a while, he found that this analogy was indeed inappropriate. He had never planned to rebel. He was a good citizen, but he had already said it, and the truth was pretty much the same, so he didn't care and continued,
"The initial attack on the small temple in the mountain probably made them misunderstand the relationship between you and me. They couldn't find me, so they had to start from your side. Then I helped them a few times, probably because I didn't want to
I owe you a favor, so I pay special attention to you, including this overseas protection..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In short, I'm sorry, although subjectively I didn't have this intention, but from an objective fact, it was me who dragged you into this chaotic world.
." Facing Xie Wei's blank gaze, he sincerely nodded and apologized.
In fact, the above statement is not entirely true, there is a lot of concealment, and there are also many misleading elements, but the Tang Dynasty's intention to apologize is indeed real.
Looking at Xie Wei's several dangers, including the small temple in the mountains, the bank robbery, including Han Jinshi who he nipped in the bud, and this time, although each time it was fate and mostly chance, but in the final analysis it was...
The trouble he caused spread out, causing Xie Wei to become a fish in the pond.
What's worse is that the Tang Dynasty can't guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future. It's okay these few times, but it just accidentally involves Xie Wei, so will it fall directly on her next time? This is unpredictable
, just like someone from Kyushu Rising stole Xie Wei’s butterfly brooch not long ago, this kind of thing...
To put it bluntly, this is why, in the eyes of outsiders such as Zong Qing, the Tang Dynasty had a bad temper. They would kill at every turn to eradicate the roots. Looking at it from another perspective, this is not a kind of fear...
Under the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.
Tang Chao, who has been a man for two generations, knows very well what the underground world is like. It is easy to step in, but difficult to get out cleanly. It is basically impossible. What he can do now is to hide his identity and protect the people he cares about.
To ensure safety, maintain the current ordinary life, and nip the threat in the bud. As for whether it will cause any bigger trouble, that is really beyond his control.
Is it sad? No, that’s what killers are!
After exhaling and avoiding Xie Wei's gaze, Tang Chao said softly, "The reason why I am telling you this today is because in the eyes of some people, my connection with you is no longer a misunderstanding, but an established fact.
Surveillance protection similar to this one actually exists in China, and it may always be with you in the future, for a long, long time... Therefore, I feel it is necessary to tell you."
The car was speeding and there was silence for a long time. Xie Wei suddenly turned her head and looked: "So, are you reminding me now?"
"That's right. Besides, I also want to know what you think. If you feel uncomfortable, I will come forward to talk to Kyushu Uprising and ask them to withdraw..."
After interrupting with a strong wave of his hand, Xie Wei took a determined look: "What do you think I should think now?"
"I'm very sorry……"
"Why are you sorry?" Xie Wei spread her hands, "After what you said, it seems that I have a few invisible bodyguards, very powerful ones, and I don't have to pay them a salary. Isn't this a good thing?"
