Chapter 487 Are we safe?
"Are we safe?"
"It's safe!"
As the sound of gunfire faded away, the car drove into the downtown area. Quentin leaned over the rear window to peek, and when he saw that no killer was catching up with him, he let out a breath and collapsed on the seat, exhausted.
"Want a drink?"
Link poured two glasses of red wine and pushed one over.
Quentin grabbed the wine glass with both hands, tilted his head back and gulped it down. Because he drank too quickly, he choked and coughed repeatedly, and his fat donkey face turned red.
"Slow down! We are safe now, you don't need to be so nervous."
Link swirled his glass and took a sip.
"Don't be nervous? We were almost killed, just a little bit, a bullet passed by here, I almost got my head blown up, almost got my head blown up, and you tell me not to be nervous?"
Quentin was incoherent, with an expression of uncontrollable fear and excitement on his face, which were typical symptoms of excessive adrenaline secretion.
"It's just a piece of broken glass, not a bullet."
"It was a bullet, a sniper bullet. I saw it with my own eyes. The bullet whizzed towards me, less than a centimeter away from my head, and almost blew off my skull. I can still clearly remember the smell of gunpowder from the bullet."
Quentin touched the right side of his scalp, his eyes dazed, as if he was recalling the thrilling moment before.
Link smiled and didn't argue with Quentin.
Compared to glass fragments, being grazed by a bullet on the scalp seems more thrilling and more topical. Quentin will probably talk about this incident often at future gatherings. This is an unforgettable event for him, and Link doesn't want to ruin Quentin's imagination.
"Link, you've got me in trouble."
After a while, Quentin said with resentment on his face.
"I hurt you? I was the one who dragged you out of the cafe."
"You saved me, that's a fact, I don't deny it, but I was also implicated by you. If it weren't for you, how could we have been shot while drinking coffee? Oh, and we were just hit by a rocket. It's crazy. Is this Los Angeles?"
Quentin patted his chest with lingering fear and moved his butt away from him. "It's too dangerous to sit next to you. I could die if I'm not careful. Link, I told you not to start a film company, but you didn't listen."
Quentin kept on rambling on, repeating the same words all the time. Link yawned as he listened. He told the driver, Don, to drive faster.
More than ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of Quentin's apartment, but Quentin didn't dare to get out of the car alone, nor did he want Link to accompany him, to prevent him from being attacked by the killer again. Link had to arrange for Hong Youfu to take Quentin back to the apartment.
Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!
The phone rang and Link opened the cover to answer it.
Wallace told him on the phone that this phishing operation was a great success. Blackwater Defense Company and the Los Angeles police worked together to kill 18 criminals on the scene and arrested 34 people, 15 of whom were elites in the killer industry.
In this operation, they killed more than a dozen people and dealt a heavy blow to many branches of killer organizations in the United States.
Hearing that these killers were elites, Link had some doubts.
In the movies before, those powerful killers could often kill their way through a street by themselves, and even pick up girls while killing people. But today, the performance of this group of elite killers was too poor. Even dozens of people joined forces and couldn't break through his defense. Can such strength be considered elite? If he became a killer, he might become the king of killers.
Link told Wallace to continue the interrogation and try to find information about the employer from the killer or the killer organization. Rather than killing the killer, the most urgent task was to find the employer as soon as possible and eliminate all threats.
Wallace said he understood and they would use special methods to interrogate these killers.
After hanging up the phone, Link drove back to the villa halfway up the mountain and instructed Bob and He Tiejun to send more people to patrol around the manor.
Although dozens of killers and accomplices were killed in this operation, they are not safe. There must be some who have escaped and are lurking around.
If you are careless, the killers will take advantage of you.
"This guy is really cautious!"
In a car in the distance, the scarred killer put down his binoculars and sighed helplessly.
After experiencing this incident, he thought Link would let down his guard and start celebrating his victory recklessly, but unfortunately Link did not do so. He continued to strengthen his guard and did not give the killer a chance to strike.
The scarface killer took out his cell phone to contact his agent and told him what happened in Los Angeles today.
His agent told him to withdraw from Los Angeles first. Link is a ruthless person, so don't provoke him for the time being.
The scar-faced killer hung up the phone, started the car and left.
——
Shortly after the shooting on Hollywood Boulevard, the news quickly broke out in major media outlets.
Various media outlets quickly sent people to the scene to film and interview spectators and passers-by, as well as the Los Angeles Police Department, to inquire about the course of events and their outcome.
Less than an hour after the incident, mainstream American television news channels began broadcasting this fresh and hot news.
ABC News Channel reported that Hollywood tycoon and the world's fourth richest man, Mark Link, was shot again on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. This shooting was on a large scale, and it is reported that hundreds of people were involved in the action against Mark Link.
The weapons used include rocket launchers, sniper rifles, semi-automatic rifles, etc.
After the attack, Link's bodyguard team took immediate action and, with the assistance of the Los Angeles police, repelled all terrorists in ten minutes.
Afterwards, the police found the bodies of six terrorists at the scene, more than 50 people were arrested, and only two bystanders were slightly injured.
The report of FOX News Channel was slightly different, claiming that Link accepted the invitation of director Quentin to meet at an Italian cafe to discuss the script, and after receiving the news, the killer quickly rushed to the scene to assassinate Link.
Director Link and Quentin escaped danger safely under the protection of bodyguards and police. Afterwards, the police found the bodies of eight attackers at the scene and arrested 52 people. The Los Angeles police are investigating the identities of these people.
Turner TV News Channel stated that "this assassination and the last red carpet assassination are both extensions of competition in the film industry," and that "competition in the Hollywood film industry has become fierce." They advocated healthy and orderly competition among film companies and opposed violence and extreme means.
Other TV and radio stations also broadcast the news, interpreting the violent attack from various angles.
After the relevant news was broadcast, Link's phone became a hotline again, and relatives, friends and partners called to ask about his safety and whether he was injured.
After Link responded to several phone calls, he sent a text message to tell everyone that he was fine and had escaped any danger.
"It's too dangerous outside. Honey, don't go out recently."
After watching the news, Michelle Pfeiffer hugged his arms and looked horrified.
"Link, stay at home with us for the time being. If you want to go out, you have to wait until the police catch the real culprit behind this."
Liu Xiaoli, Monica, Sandra Bullock and others also persuaded him.
"Link, if you want to pick up girls, just bring them back. You don't have to go out and pick them up yourself. Otherwise, we can go out and pick them up for you."
Sophia joked.
"Don't talk nonsense, and don't be nervous."
Link explained to them that this violent attack was not a sudden incident, but a planned special operation.
According to Blackwater's investigation, his employer raised his offer to $1 million after the red carpet shooting in August.
In order to earn the money, many killers gathered in Los Angeles from all over the world and tried to kill him many times.
After Link returned from Asia, he could clearly sense that the number of malicious eyes around him was increasing.
In order to get rid of these rats lurking in the shadows, he invested $1 million and joined forces with the Los Angeles police and Blackwater Defense Company to use himself as bait in an attempt to eliminate the violent elements lurking around.
It turned out that the operation was very successful and many killer organizations suffered heavy losses in this operation.
After defeating these violent elements, other people who want to murder him will also be frightened, and some will give up because of this incident. Even if they are unwilling to give up, they will be more cautious the next time they take action.
At the same time, after catching these killers, they can make deals with the killers or organizations in exchange for information about their employers.
If the deal goes through, the next step is to find an employer and resolve all hidden dangers in one fell swoop.
Without someone aiming a sniper rifle at him all day, he can focus on making movies.
"But this is too risky. Next time you want to implement the plan, find a substitute so you don't have to go in person."
Liu Xiaoli, Monica and others leaned on him, feeling the solid and reliable sense of security from him.
"I know. It's enough to do this once."
Link hugged several of his girlfriends and kissed them.
Before it got dark, the lights in the master bedroom of Villa No. 1 were turned on, and the ambiguous sounds of playfulness drifted away with the wind. The grass, green plants and starlight outside the window were excited all night long in the melodious singing.
