Living in North America, working from 9 to 5

Chapter 194: City Chase! Team Wiped Out!

What Maggie said to Roy tonight shocked him greatly, no less than when he learned Jacob's true identity from Vanessa.

It turns out...it turns out that my family is a family of spies...

Although Roy was greatly shocked in his heart, it did not show on his face. He is now calmer than he was a few months ago.

After all, we've heard all kinds of outrageous things.

At the same time, Roy suddenly remembered what Vanessa once said to him: the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

Maggie's words cannot be fully believed without verification, but we cannot disbelieve them either. After all, what she said makes sense and there are no logical loopholes.

Just as Roy was about to ask Maggie why she told him so much, a bodyguard in a suit ran up to Roy and Maggie and said in a hurried voice, "The Department of Homeland Security is here."

Hearing this, Maggie quickly let go of Roy's hand, and without even saying goodbye, she ran straight towards the backstage.

The door of the concert hall was thrown open, and several special agents wearing helmets, bulletproof vests, with the letters DHS on their chests and backs, and holding M4 assault rifles, rushed into the concert hall.

Seeing this, two security guards stepped forward and tried to stop them, but were knocked to the ground by the other party's gun butt. Then, the black muzzle of the gun was pressed against the two security guards' heads.

Following these DHS agents into the concert hall were several people in black suits, including both white and black people.

The suited man who led the team scanned the concert hall and saw the back of the woman who flashed by and disappeared towards the backstage. He then shouted, "Over there, chase her!"

A large number of DHS agents quickly rushed to the place where the woman disappeared, and several DHS agents in black suits also chased after her.

The man in a suit leading the team shouted loudly in the concert hall:

"DHS is investigating the case, and I hope everyone will cooperate!"

A large number of DHS armed special agents who came in later quickly took control of the entire concert hall, and the wealthy elites all looked at the man in a suit who led the team with strange eyes.

The man in the suit kept his eyes on Roy. There was no other reason, just because everyone standing on the dance floor was a man and a woman, but there were two men standing next to Roy, without a female companion, and a woman had just escaped...

The man in the suit walked up to Roy, and Roy saw the ID hanging on his chest: DHS, Smith Anderson.

Roy knew this person. Mahone had once mentioned the DHS leader of the joint investigation team on the explosion of the Phinox board of directors.

Looking Roy up and down, Smith said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere."

"Really?" Roy smiled.

"Please show me your ID," Smith said.

Roy slowly lifted the hem of his suit, allowing Smith to see his inner pocket, then he took out his ID from inside his pocket and handed it to Smith.

Smith took the ID and looked at it, then frowned slightly: "Roy von Weizsäcker, NYPD Brooklyn Police Department."

"Hmm~"

"I know you, the star patrolman of the NYPD." Smith looked up into Roy's eyes. "Captain Roy, I'm curious. Half of the people who come here to play are from New York's upper class elite. What are you, a deputy patrolman, doing here?"

Smith's suspicion is not unreasonable. Roy is just an ordinary patrolman in the police station. Even if his position is deputy captain, he should not be here. Those who can play here must be rich or noble.

Judging from the spending power alone, an NYPD officer certainly doesn't have that ability. If he came with others, it would also be very suspicious. Which elite boss would find an ordinary patrolman to come to such a place.

Before Roy could speak, a familiar voice came into his ears. He turned his head and saw Bostan walking towards him.

"Commissioner Smith, this Mr. Roy is my distinguished guest. His girlfriend just went to the bathroom." Bostan stopped in front of Roy and Smith and said, "Aren't you DHS a little too rude? You've scared all the guests here."

While Bostan was explaining for Roy, he also threatened Smith a little. For Bostan, who was in the elite circle, Smith's level was a little bit low.

Smith naturally knew who Bostan was. When he just broke in, he also saw many Wall Street tycoons in the concert hall, and even state legislators were having fun here.

If there were only one or two big shots, Smith might not be afraid, but there were a group of people in the concert hall. If these people were to trip him up at the same time, not to mention him as a DHS commissioner, even the director would have to think twice.

Smith retracted his sharp gaze and smiled: "Mr. Bostan, I'm very sorry. I have no choice. You must know that such a big thing has happened. We are just following orders."

"Of course I know..." Bostan said with a smile, "Senator Thompson was assassinated."

Smith smiled and said, "Now that you know, you should understand that the president has personally signed the order. Now all law enforcement agencies in New York are searching for the killer. We received a tip that a suspicious person has appeared here."

At this moment, Selena appeared in the concert hall. When she walked towards Roy, she was suddenly stopped by someone from DHS.

Bostan looked back and quickly reminded: "Commissioner Smith, your people are stopping Ms. Irina."

Hearing this, Smith turned his head and looked. He knew Irina, and then he ordered loudly: “That is Ms. Irina, don’t stop her.”

When the subordinates heard the order from their superior, they immediately let them go.

Serena came to Roy's side and looked at Commissioner Smith with a smile: "This is my boyfriend, what happened?"

Hearing Irina's words, Smith looked down, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: “Since this gentleman is Ms. Irina’s boyfriend, it must be a misunderstanding.”

With that, Commissioner Smith returned the certificate to Roy.

At the same time, the voice of Commissioner Smith's men came through his headset:
"Sir, we found the target, oh no, ahhh, help, help, help, please..."

Before the communication was cut off, gunshots were heard in the headset.

"damn it……"

Commissioner Smith cursed under his breath, then ordered his men who remained in the concert hall to rush to support, and he himself quickly ran towards the backstage.

A large number of fully armed DHS special agents followed closely behind.

Roy looked towards the backstage with a worried look on his face.

Bostan said: "Sorry, I'll go see what's going on."

Roy and Serena nodded together.

After Bostan left, Selina whispered to Roy, "What? Are you worried about her? Don't worry, they can't catch M-HOUND."

"M-HOUND?" Roy was stunned.

Selina whispered, "That woman is a sniper from the Hellhound Force, codenamed M-HOUND. The reason I fought with her just now was to see how strong she is. Don't think I did it because of you."

Roy: "..."

Selina whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The Cerberus Force is New Hope's ace special forces. You know, the predecessor of New Hope. It can be said that this secret force was formed to deal with us."

Roy nodded thoughtfully.

the other side.

Commissioner Smith pulled out his pistol, ran through the backstage, through the kitchen, through one corridor, and into another, and gunshots were heard.

bang bang bang-

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Commissioner Smith shouted.

Several DHS Secret Service agents rushed to the front.

After opening a door, Smith saw five DHS agents lying on the ground, their lives unknown. His men rushed forward to check on them.

The next moment, the subordinate turned around and shook his head at his superior.

"Chase!"

"Yes!"

There was another sound of gunfire from the front.

Maggie ran forward and kneed a DHS agent in the jaw. His body flipped in the air and he fell to the ground with a thud.

He picked up the man's M4 assault rifle and fired forward. The dense rain of bullets poured on the wall, forcing the DHS special agents behind the wall to not dare to show their heads.

Mike threw away the pistol in his hand, pulled out the pistol from the waist of the special agent, walked forward and shot, helping Maggie to suppress her.

The two men came to the door, one on the left and one on the right, nodded to each other, then rushed into the door, crossed positions, and opened fire.

The two DHS agents who had just been pinned behind the door were shot several times in the chest and face and fell to the ground and died.

at this time,

Commissioner Smith caught up.

He saw Maggie's back again.

Just as he was about to rush through the corridor, a stun grenade was thrown over from the opposite side. Seeing this, he quickly jumped back. The next second, he suddenly felt dizzy.

By the time the dizziness wore off and the supporting special forces rushed over, the opponent had already disappeared.

Smith kicked the wall fiercely and yelled, "Damn it!"

The headset calls:

"Sir, there is a secret office over here and there is a woman in it."

"Wait for me!" Smith pressed the headset communication button.

When Smith arrived at the office, he saw Vanessa and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's you, the French intelligence businessman. It seems that you are related to this matter."

Vanessa sat on the sofa calmly, picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and then said: "I am a shareholder here. Isn't it normal for me to be here?"

"How do you explain the killer's appearance here?" "What killer? How come I don't know about him?"

"That woman just now was the assassin who killed Senator Thompson. Don't tell me it's a coincidence that she showed up in your territory."

Commissioner Smith stared into Vanessa's eyes.

Vanessa smiled and said, "The VK Club has a nightclub in front and a concert hall in the back. Thousands of people come and go every day, and anyone can come and have fun. How would I know that among these thousands of people is the murderer who killed Senator Thompson?"

"I now suspect that you provided them with a hiding place. Please come back with us for investigation." Commissioner Smith gestured to invite them. "Please come."

Vanessa knew she couldn't resist in this situation, so she stood up.

The DHS agent produced handcuffs.

Vanessa said coldly: "What does this mean? Do you really treat me as a criminal?"

Commissioner Smith raised his hand and said, “No need!”

In this way, Vanessa was trapped by more than 20 DHS agents and taken away.

Roy saw this scene.

Serena whispered, "Why? You want to save her?"

Roy narrowed his eyes slightly and gave an affirmative answer.

Vanessa was escorted by DHS special agents into a Chevrolet Suburban. After Smith got in, a convoy of five SUVs drove away quickly.

Roy opened the driver's door of the Lincoln Navigator and got in quickly, followed by Selena who got in the passenger seat.

Step on the accelerator and the Navigator rushes out.

Serena buckled up and asked, "How are you going to save her?"

Seeing the convoy ahead turn left, Roy immediately turned into an alley, ready to take a shortcut: "Is 47 nearby?"

Serena nodded: "He's here."

"Wait, let him take people to cover our retreat."

"OK!" Selina took out her encrypted phone and dialed. After fully communicating with Bald 47, she hung up the phone.

"The weapons bag at the back!" Roy reminded.

Selina unbuckled her seat belt, crawled to the back, pulled out the weapon bag from the trunk, opened it, and began to check the guns.

He reached out to take the gangster hood handed to him by Selena, took off his coat while driving, and put on the black hooded jacket he had prepared in advance.

Selena also changed her clothes in the back seat.

Smith had seen both of them before. If he took action wearing the same clothes as before, he would definitely be recognized by Smith.

Step on the accelerator deeply and the Navigator's engine will emit a huge roar.

[Violent Driving: Driving Skills +1]

Crossing the alley, Roy saw the DHS convoy again.

Continue into another alley.

In the dark alley, the off-road vehicle was running rampant, knocking over trash cans, knocking down homeless people's tents, and crashing through the barbed wire blocking the road. The vehicle rubbed against the wall, causing sparks to fly.

Exit the alley and merge onto the main road.

Roy drove quickly towards the intersection.

According to mental calculations, they will meet at the intersection ahead.

Sure enough, the lead vehicle of the DHS convoy appeared in Roy's field of vision. He stepped on the accelerator and shouted, "Watch out for collision!"

Selena, who was wearing a hood in the back seat, quickly fastened her seat belt.

Commissioner Smith, who was in the third car in the convoy, noticed a black SUV approaching quickly from the side.

Just before the collision, he yelled, "Be careful!"

boom--

The SUV driven by Roy hit the main driver's door of the third car directly. The next second, the Chevrolet Suburban overturned and rolled until it hit a private car and stopped.

The Saab class off-road vehicle is designed with the passenger side close to the ground and the driver's side facing the sky, with steam coming out of the engine compartment.

Roy's situation was not much better. The front hood of the Navigator was bulging, the headlights were all broken, several pieces of the bumper fell off, and the airbag exploded.

Thanks to sufficient preparation, Roy was not seriously injured. He turned around to quickly look at Selina and found that she was not injured either. He then immediately picked up the M4 assault rifle, kicked open the car door, got out and fired a volley of bullets at the DHS SUV parked on the left.

Chug tug tug tug——

In an instant, countless bullet holes appeared on the trunk of the DHS SUV.

[Using a rifle: Rifle proficiency +1]

Selina did not get out of the car, but instead shot at the DHS vehicle on the other side from inside the car.

The DHS agent quickly opened the car door and got out.

However, at this moment, support from Organization No. 47 arrived. Several masked agents of the organization leaned out from the glass on both sides of the vehicle and used submachine guns and rifles to launch a fierce fire suppression attack on the DHS vehicle.

In an instant, several DHS agents were knocked down.

Roy walked and shot until he came to the overturned SUV and climbed up. Through the broken glass, he saw Vanessa, who was bleeding from the head and a little dazed. He squatted down, reached out and grabbed Vanessa's wrist and pulled her out of the car.

Vanessa gradually regained consciousness and murmured, "I knew you would come to save me..."

Roy didn't say anything and jumped off the overturned SUV holding Vanessa.

At the same time, Commissioner Smith gradually woke up. He first looked at the back row and found that his two men were all unconscious and Vanessa was missing.

He pulled out his pistol, unbuckled his seat belt, struggled to stand up in the narrow space inside the car, kicked open the shattered front windshield, and crawled out.

Roy put Vanessa on the ground, put his left arm around Vanessa's waist, threw the M4 assault rifle behind him with his right hand, took out a grenade from his pocket, bit open the safety ring with his mouth, and threw it back handsomely.

The grenade was thrown accurately into the off-road vehicle.

[Precision Throwing: Throwing Proficiency +1]

Commissioner Smith, who had just climbed out of the SUV, heard a sound behind him. He turned around and saw a grenade with the safety pin already popped off.

He quickly crawled away...

boom--

There was an explosion!
The off-road vehicle's fuel tank was ignited and a raging fire broke out at the scene.

The gunfire gradually stopped.

Roy helped Vanessa into the car.

Serena pulled Vanessa into the car.

He quickly entered the cab, shifted gears, and stepped on the accelerator. While the water in the tank had not yet leaked out and the engine had not yet overheated, Roy drove the damaged Navigator away from the scene quickly.

The special forces team that came to support also evacuated quickly.

The entire attack took no more than two minutes.

When the patrol car from the Queens Police Department arrived here, all they saw were bodies and car debris scattered all over the ground.

A large number of NYPD Queens Police Station patrol cars were dispatched, and even helicopters appeared in the sky.

After receiving the order, Ma Hong quickly organized personnel to reinforce the team.

At the same time, Selina received a call from Bald 47. She looked at Roy and said, "Go into the Andes underground parking lot in front. He has prepared a new car for us."

Roy drove the steaming Lincoln Navigator into the Andes underground parking lot and quickly found the Ford pickup truck left behind by the agent with the help of a telephone call.

Selena helped Vanessa get into the pickup truck first.

Roy found C4 explosives in the weapon bag, inserted the timer connected to the electric detonator into the C4 explosives, adjusted the explosion time to 2 minutes, started it, and put it in the car.

He then drove the Ford pickup truck out of the underground parking lot.

Shortly after they left, a violent explosion occurred in the parking lot.

The Ford pickup turned right onto Main Street and merged into the traffic. Along the way, dozens of Queens Police patrol cars with sirens blaring passed Roy and drove in the opposite direction.

The helicopters in the sky were circling aimlessly.

"Where are we going?" Selena asked.

"Safe house!"
