Chapter 242 Assassination Attempt



After being reminded by Shen Dong, the driver immediately stepped on the gas and sped forward, repeatedly asking, "What on earth happened?"

Shen Dong said calmly, "The sound just now came from two sniper rifles. Someone is trying to kill me. Their target should be the car's fuel tank. If the fuel tank is hit, everyone in the car will be wiped out."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard's expression changed drastically, and he sped up the car even more.

Seeing that something was wrong, Li Jie, Tian Yangsheng, and the others behind them immediately told the driver to follow them.

After about two minutes, Shen Dong no longer sensed any danger, and then he asked the driver to pull the car over to the side of the road.

Li Jie and the others quickly got out of the car and asked, "Brother Dong, what happened?"

Shen Dong pointed to the gun port at the back of the car and said, "Someone wants to kill me."

Li Jie frowned, examined the two bullet holes, and said, "It's a sniper rifle that only special forces soldiers in the United States can equip."

Song Zihao said, "We have no grudges against anyone in the United States, so who would want to assassinate us?"

A cold glint flashed in Shen Dong's eyes as he said, "We have no enemies in the United States, but that doesn't mean we're safe. Those in Hong Kong who want us dead can bribe local gangs to assassinate us if they're willing to pay."

Song Zihao nodded and said, "It's possible... no, it's the most likely possibility. Brother Dong, who do you think is most likely to do this?"

Several figures immediately flashed through Shen Dong's mind, including Lian Haolong, Uncle Ben with white hair, and Jiang Tiansheng.

These three are the most likely to take action, but Shen Dong couldn't quite figure out who they were.

Shen Dong said, "They missed this time, but they'll definitely try again. Maybe this is just their first wave, and the next wave will come soon. Hehe, the assassins' target is me. You don't need to protect me. Just protect Xin Xin, Qiu Ti, and Yong En."

Li Jie frowned and said, "Brother Dong, let me stay by your side."

Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me. With kung fu at my level, no one can hurt me, whether it's a gun or a knife, as long as it's not a lethal weapon. If the other side uses a lethal weapon, even if all of you are around me, we'll all die together. Do you understand what I mean?"

Everyone nodded and said in unison, "Understood."

Shen Dong had the three women sit in the back car, with Li Jie, Feng Yuxiu, and Xiahou Wu protecting them respectively, while he, Tian Yangsheng, and Song Zihao sat in the original car.

The three women knew that this was a critical moment, and they did exactly what Shen Dong said, being very obedient.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the hotel, and Shen Dong sensed danger again.

He told everyone else not to move, and he and Tian Yangsheng got out of the car and walked towards the hotel lobby.

As soon as he entered, Shen Dong focused his attention on the two security guards.

"Ah Sheng, there's something wrong with these two security guards," Shen Dong said softly.

Tian Yangsheng nodded and said, "Understood."

The two pretended not to notice and walked towards the elevator.

The two security guards exchanged a glance and simultaneously called out, "Wait a minute."

Shen Dong and Tian Yangsheng ignored them and continued walking forward.

"Stop!"

The two security guards immediately drew their guns and started firing at Chen Dong while shouting "stop".

"Bang bang bang bang"

The surrounding guests were startled and screamed as they ran in all directions.

Shen Dong moved extremely fast, and before they could even fire, he had already taken cover behind a pillar.

Tian Yangsheng raised his right hand and threw a flying knife, which hit one of the security guards in the arm. Then he dodged and hid behind another pillar.

Ignoring his companion's screams, the security guard rushed frantically toward the pillar where Chen Dong was.

"They're really courting death!"

Shen Dong sneered, stepped out from the other side of the pillar, and flicked his finger, sending a small steel ball hitting the security guard in the thigh.

"ah."

The security guard screamed, clutched his leg, and collapsed to the ground.

Shen Dong picked up the gun, pointed it at his head, and said, "Who sent you?"

The security guard just screamed and said nothing.

Just then, two policemen, seemingly having heard the gunshots, rushed in, pointing their guns at Chen Dong and shouting, "Put down your guns!"

No, these two people aren't police officers.

Shen Dong's expression changed, and he immediately realized that these two guys were likely in cahoots with the two security guards, so he reacted quickly.

"Bang"

"Bang"

Two shots were fired in quick succession, the bullets hitting their wrists. Both policemen dropped their guns to the ground, bleeding profusely.

"You dare to assault a police officer."

One of the policemen clutched his arm and shouted.

Shen Dong walked up to the policeman and sneered, "Who sent you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Stop pretending. You and these two security guards are all here to kill me. I'd like to know who's behind you?"

"We are police officers, not gangsters."

"We'll find out soon enough whether they're police or not."

After the front desk called the police, Shen Dong felt that the Four Seasons Hotel was not safe, so he asked Song Zihao to book a room at another hotel.

"Brother Dong, are you alright?" Qiu asked, holding Shen Dong's hand.

The other two women were also looking at him with concern.

Shen Dong laughed and said, "It's just a small matter, nothing to worry about."

After calming the three women down, the police arrived.

The leader was a white man in his thirties, with a cold expression, a breezy walk, and an imposing presence.

"I'm NYPD officer Johnson. Who called the police? And why do you have a gun?" Johnson asked, looking at Shen Dong.

Before coming to the United States, Shen Dong had already acquired English skills from the system. He said, "My name is Shen Dong, and I'm from Hong Kong Island. I was attacked by these two security guards as soon as I entered the hotel lobby. After a while, these two men claimed to be police officers and pointed their guns at me as well. Mr. Johnson, I'd like to know if they are actually police officers?"

Johnson turned to look at the two men, frowning, and said, "I don't know them."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "It seems my guess was correct. Besides, I was also assassinated by a sniper on my way back. Heh, it seems the security situation in New York isn't very good."

Johnson said angrily, "New York has the best security in the entire United States. Mr. Shen, you need to come with me to the police station to make a statement."

Shen Dong said, "Mr. Johnson, don't worry, I will go to the police station with you after my lawyer arrives."

Johnson nodded and said, "Okay."
