Chapter 407: Unexplained Attack
The project VIP is called Linda, a tainted witness who has changed her name and surname to live in seclusion in a small town in Chicago. A week ago, Linda was attacked and saved her life by timely medical treatment. The bailiff in charge of Linda confirmed that Linda's information was leaked. Linda is now of no value. The prosecutor needs to hold a hearing to understand the case. Only when it is confirmed that Linda was retaliated will the witness protection mechanism be activated again and Linda will be given a new identity.

Linda will be discharged from the hospital in five days. The local police department is currently responsible for her safety. Once she is discharged, the police department will not focus on her security issues. After being discharged, Linda still has 7-10 days before the hearing. The Duanmu Group's project guarantees Linda's safety for 7-10 days.

In this project, because Cui Jian and Duanmu are both Americans, they can carry their guns concealed through the arrangement of New York security. Concealed carry means that the gun can be hidden. Cui Jian and Duanmu both have gun licenses, and in some states, they can carry rifles on their backs and wander around the streets.

As for the relationship between Linda and the Knights, Duanmu did not answer this question because Cui Jian and Gui Yi did not join the Knights.

Duanmu said: "The imaginary enemy is the famous American white gang: the Somali gang."

Cui Jiandao: "There are not many people, they are very brutal, and they are not mainstream."

Xueying asked curiously, "What is non-mainstream? Does the Bai Gang also have non-mainstream?"

Cui Jian replied: "Generally, American white gangs disdain robbery and theft, but Somali gangs have a large business in robbery and theft. Most white gangs generally do not attack ordinary people, let alone kill them. Somali gangs are different. They basically leave no one alive when they break into houses and rob. They also like to steal weapons and flour from other white gangs. Their methods can be said to be very brutal."

Cui Jiandao: "Compared to other white gangs, the Somali gang has limited combat power and no brains. This is not what I said, but the white gangs have a unified understanding. With a large number of Africans, they could have developed, but they were always calculated by other white gangs, and infighting often occurred."

Cui Jian: "I remember such an incident. A member of the White Gang knocked out the wife of the No. 3 leader of the Somali Gang and put her on the bed of the No. 2 leader. When the No. 2 leader woke up, he recognized the woman but still forced her to have sex with him. His reason was that the woman came to him on her own initiative. When the No. 3 leader heard the news, he took two Desert Eagles and led his men to fight with the No. 2 leader's men, killing seven people. In the end, their leader made a decision: No. 3 leader could sleep with No. 2 leader's wife once. They happily accepted the ruling and thought it was quite fair."

After Cui Jian finished speaking, he remembered Xueying standing beside him, and his old face turned red.

Xueying was speechless when she saw this, and said, "Uncle, I am an adult, I can listen."

Cui Jian was even more embarrassed: "Shut up."

Duanmu said: "If it's okay, we will go to Chicago the day after tomorrow."

After chatting for a while, the waiter announced that dinner was ready.

The four of them sat down to eat. Xueying asked most of the questions and everyone answered them. Duanmu answered less, Cui Jian made up stories, and only Guiyi took Xueying's questions seriously.

Cui Jian asked Gui Yi a question: "When your child graduates from high school, he can obviously go to a local 985 university, but in order to be away from you, he would rather choose an ordinary first-class university far away. What would you do?"

Gui Yi replied: "We can reason with him. We can also promise him that we will just treat him as if he is studying in another province."

Cui Jian asked: "He doesn't listen?"

Gui Yi: “No way?”

Cui Jian then said, "The second question is, at lunch time, your high school child comes home from school and you are ready to eat, but your child ignores you and goes straight back to his room. You call him to eat, but he says he doesn't want to eat. What would you do?"

Gui Yi: "No way? Maybe he's unhappy about something at school? I'll knock on the door and go in to talk to him."

Cui Jian: "But he doesn't want to communicate with you. The more you talk, the more annoyed he gets. He starts yelling at you and doesn't want you to care."

Gui Yi: "Then I will contact the teacher and classmates to ask what happened."

Xueying narrowed her eyes at Cui Jian and replied to Gui Yi: "If you do this, he will hate you even more because you are embarrassing him."

Gui Yi asked: "What should we do then?"

Xueying gave the standard answer: "Ignore him and let him adjust himself."

Gui Yi: "But I still have classes in the afternoon."

Xueying: "Eating is not important."

Gui Yi: "How can I attend class if I'm hungry in the afternoon if I don't eat?"

Xueying narrowed her eyes at Guiyi and said, "Moms like you are probably the most annoying. We just want some space to be alone and think about something, but you keep asking us to do trivial things. What will happen if we skip a meal? Which child is not overnourished now?"

Gui Yi looked at Cui Jian: "What if your child is like this?"

Cui Jian: "If he doesn't want to eat, then don't eat. I provided food and supplies, and was willing to talk to him. I just fulfilled my obligations."

Duanmu said: "But your attitude will make your wife point the finger at you. The child is not wrong, you are not wrong, the only one who is wrong is you."

Xueying was dissatisfied: "Let's not discuss this issue. There is a huge generation gap between us, not to mention children and parents. Let's continue talking about the League Cup." She glared at Cui Jian.

After dinner, the hotel staff cleared the dishes, Guiyi and Xueying went to the second floor to sing karaoke, and Cui Jian and Duanmu made tea and chatted downstairs. Duanmu wanted to add two more team members, and more importantly, recruit a hacker. In the battle of the church, Cui Jian and the other two had very little knowledge of radio. They were limited to basic applications of mobile phones, computers and radios, and did not understand the principles.

The waiter asked Duanmu to sign, and after he signed, the waiter and the chefs left in the hotel van.

Duanmu said: "There are three candidates. One is Yiyi, who is very skilled and has good skills, but she is arrogant and it is not easy to convince her. One is Ye Rannuo, who is not bad and a good person, but since she used to be Feidi's subordinate, I can't trust her completely. The third candidate is Hailan, who is average in skills but loyal and reliable."

Cui Jian said: "Hai Lan, right?"

Duanmu asked: "Why?"

Cui Jian replied: "She is beautiful."

Duanmu raised his middle finger.

The doorbell rang, Duanmu walked to the video doorbell, saw the waiter, and asked, "What's up?"

The waiter said, "Sir, I need you to sign again."

Duanmu opened the small door of the main gate, and the waiter walked through the main gate and walked towards the villa. Duanmu waited at the door, and Cui Jian took the tea and stood up to look at the decorations. Duanmu suddenly said, "Don't move."

Cui Jian thought someone was talking to him, so he turned around and saw the waiter standing in the middle without moving. Duanmu was holding the gun in his right hand and looking at the waiter. The atmosphere became very strange.

Duanmu said: "Take a few steps."

The waiter was very obedient and took a few steps towards the door. His eyes met Duanmu's. Duanmu pulled out his gun and said, "Get down."

Bullets flew from the small door, and the waiter fell to the ground and died. Bullets kept flying from the main door. The sound of gunfire was not loud, but the bullets were very dense. Duanmu squatted down immediately. Logically, the bullets should have penetrated the door and the wall, and turned Duanmu into a hornet's nest. But Duanmu was a rich man, and the walls and the door were made of bulletproof materials.

The next second, the alarm sounded and someone invaded the villa.

Cui Jian quickly went to the small door of the kitchen and looked out. Three or four dark shadows climbed over the south wall. Cui Jian pulled out his gun, shot down one of them and left immediately. Then the bullet hit the back door.

Cui Jian shouted: "Silent submachine guns and pistols."

Duanmu said: "There is no signal on the phone."

Cui Jian: "Will someone call the police?"

Duanmu: "Believe me, it won't happen. What's going on?" He opened the window, and two gunmen shot first. Duanmu could only dodge to the side.

Cui Jian: "Go upstairs."

Duanmu ran towards the stairs. Cui Jian came out of the kitchen. Two gunmen in black masks rushed into the villa and ran towards the stairs. Cui Jian shot them dead with continuous shots from the side.

Duanmu entered the karaoke room. Two girls were still singing loudly. Duanmu shot the monitor. Xueying was stunned, while Guiyi drew his gun. Duanmu grabbed Xueying by the back of her collar, ran to the elevator, swiped his card, and the elevator went up from the basement. Then the power system was cut off, and the whole room fell into darkness.

Duanmu Villa is located at the end of this road. Usually, no one passes by except people jogging or walking.

A police car with flashing lights stopped outside the gate of Duanmu's house. There were several cars parked in Duanmu's backyard and on the left side. The black hooded men stepped on the roofs of the cars, climbed over the wall, and entered the villa. In the process, they kept triggering the alarm, but the network was disconnected, and the alarm information could not be transmitted to the security company.

A uniformed policeman stood beside the police car, with his back to the villa, waving his hand, asking an elderly man who was about to approach the villa to leave. The elderly man turned around and walked back. He smiled with satisfaction only after the elderly man disappeared around the corner. Then his smile froze, as a bullet pierced the back of his head.

His accomplices in the police car immediately checked on him and dragged his body into the police car.

In the darkness on the third floor, Cui Jian fired several shots at the police car. As for whether he killed anyone, I don't know. I'll leave it to fate. Cui Jian's actions were also counterattacked by the gangsters who controlled the villa. There was no bulletproof material on the third floor, and ordinary glass was used. Fortunately, Cui Jian ran away after shooting and was not shot.

Cui Jian walked down the stairs in two or three steps and reached the second floor, where Gui Yi was waiting.

Hearing the noise downstairs, Gui Yi stepped on the high-intensity flashlight, and the bright light made it impossible for the two criminals to hide. Although the night vision device can be disconnected immediately when encountering strong light, the strong light flashlight is not something the eyes can withstand. Gui Yi took the opportunity to lean forward and shoot, shooting one person in the head. The other person rolled down the stairs on his own initiative, and was only shot in the left leg by Gui Yi.

Gui Yi leaned on the left side of the stairs. Cui Jian leaned on the right side of the stairs and asked, "Are you done?"

Duanmu's voice came from a room: "Give me some time." He was looking for the key, the key to the safe on the third floor where people could hide. Using safes as safe houses was a feature of the Knights.

Gui Yi and the other two were all thinking about one question: Who are these people? Who are they targeting?
At this time, a dark figure climbed to the second floor, sucked the glass with a suction cup, turned around, and cut off a large piece of glass silently. The dark figure got into the window, landed silently, pulled out the pistol from his waist, walked to the door, opened the door, and saw the stairs. But Cui Jian and Gui Yi were blocked by the green plants and the corner, and could only see Gui Yi's hand on the left holding out the phone.

The shadow pushed the door open and came out. Suddenly, he felt a strong wind coming from behind. He turned around and saw a baseball bat. The baseball bat hit the shadow's head. The shadow held the door frame with one hand and tried to stand up. He shivered twice and finally fell to the ground. Cui Jian shone the flashlight over and saw Xueying holding the baseball bat in both hands and breathing heavily.

Cui Jian walked over and grabbed Xueying away. He really grabbed Xueying by the abdomen with his right hand, lifted her up, threw her into the room and closed the door. Cui Jian went back, took off the criminal's night vision goggles, put them on, pulled up the mask, and found that it was Xiao Hei. He reached out and took away the dagger that Xiao Hei was carrying, and stabbed him in the heart.

After doing all this, the criminals on the first floor began to attack, using stun grenades to clear the way, and rushed up in groups of two. Gui Yi used a strong flashlight to guard the staircase. Cui Jian patrolled the corridor. Sure enough, another criminal entered the room on the second floor through the big hole left by Xiao Hei. Cui Jian stood aside and waited for him to get out of the door and broke his neck.

Cui Jian took off the night vision goggles and threw them to Gui Yi. Gui Yi put them on and adjusted them, and Cui Jian took over the stairs. The glass at the end of the corridor cracked, and Cui Jian immediately went to the end of the corridor. As soon as he dodged out of the right angle, he found the gangster who was ready to attack. It was obvious that he deliberately broke the glass after he was ready.

Fortunately, Cui Jian had rich combat experience, and he was as fast as a turtle, stretching his head and retracting it, so the gangster's two shots all missed. Cui Jian already knew that the other party had no cover, so he stretched out his pistol and fired a few bullets at the gangster's position, and when he heard the movement, he leaned forward and fired another shot.

Cui Jian did not go to the window to check the situation, that position was too dangerous. But now everywhere is dangerous, although Gui Yi can guard the staircase, the criminals not only attack from the staircase, but also from the end of the corridor, every room window.

Under such difficult circumstances, Duanmu finally gave good news: "Found it."

Cui Jian opened the door without saying anything, took Xueying out and headed for the third floor. Gui Yi followed behind, and the three of them successfully reached the study room on the third floor.

Duanmu had already opened the safe and said, "Go in."

Cui Jian handed Xueying to Gui Yi. Gui Yi didn't say anything and helped Xueying into the safe. Cui Jian was guarding the door of the room. When he heard the noise, he fired two shots at random, and the footsteps disappeared instantly.

At this moment, Cui Jian discovered a strong light penetrating the exhaust fan and hitting the wall. Based on Cui Jian's understanding of the terrain, the source of the strong light should be at the meteorological observatory, about 300 meters away. Cui Jian asked, "Is it Morse code?" It doesn't seem like it.

Duanmu also noticed it, looked at it for a while, and said: "Light language, binary Morse code. Enemy, police, unknown, safe house sinking, don't trust anyone."

Cui Jian shot and killed a warrior, and said, "Go in quickly."

Duanmu said: "You go in."

Cui Jian: “What?”

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up."

Cui Jian didn't bother to waste time with him, and walked over quickly, got into the safe, closed the door, and locked it according to the instructions behind the door. Duanmu threw two stun grenades at the door, pulled the bookcase, got into the small secret room, and closed the bookcase.

A few seconds later, the criminals broke into the study room with stun grenades. There was no one in the study room of more than 40 square meters. The most conspicuous thing was the large safe covering an area of ​​12 square meters.

A gangster wearing a black and red mask walked into the study room with a pistol in hand. He saw the safe at first sight, and suddenly countless horses ran through his heart. The second time he saw it, he saw a strong light shining on the wall. He put away the night vision goggles and was about to see more clearly when the strong light suddenly disappeared.

After checking the safe, a gangster reported: "Boss, it's the Caesar series of Adamant. It's cut-proof, bullet-proof, explosion-proof, drill-proof, double-locked, mechanical combination lock and mechanical key are indispensable."

The black and red masked criminal: "Can't open it?"

The criminal replied: "No one can open it."

The black and red gangster walked out of the door, and everyone made way for him. The black and red gangster turned off the mobile signal interference and made a phone call: "The target escaped into the vault."

"The police will be here soon. You have three minutes to evacuate."

Black and red gangster: "Retreat."
