Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 580 A Farce with Much Ado but Little Action
As Lin Yuan expected, the cell phone in his palm rang.

Lin Yuan leaned against the wall of the unfinished building, holding a throwing knife in one hand and answering the phone with the other, without forgetting to look up at the window above his head.

"Lin Yuan, are you okay?" Betty's anxious voice came from the phone.

"It's okay, I'm out of danger. But the problem now is that those killers are a bit tricky, and I don't know how to deal with them."

Lin Yuan briefly described his current situation.

Now he had no idea how many killers were in the building, nor what weapons and equipment they had. It was obviously not wise to rush in rashly.

"In Los Angeles, the security force of our Adams Family is relatively weak. So I contacted the FBI field office in Los Angeles. The person in charge is an old friend of mine. He has already sent people to you as soon as possible." Betty said.

"No, it's too dangerous. Tell them not to rush in." Lin Yuan said, "The killer has at least Javelin anti-tank missiles, MK19 grenade launchers, and sniper rifles. If they approach rashly, the lives of those FBI agents may be in danger."

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Betty was silent for a moment.

She didn't expect that this assassination would be so fierce, and Lin Yuan was able to remain safe and sound in such a situation. He is truly a little superman.

As Lin Yuan said, the killer had weapons like Javelin missiles with a killing range of more than 2500 meters. If the FBI agents approached rashly, they would likely suffer heavy losses.

At that time, the whole situation will become a complete escalation and will no longer be able to be suppressed, and will become international news that will shock the world.

Obviously, Lin Yuan did not want the whole world to know about his assassination.

I don’t want fans around the world to discuss how he destroyed the Javelin missile with his own flesh. That’s too unbelievable.

Therefore, this matter must be handled in a low-key manner.

But the problem now is that it is not difficult to kill those killers, but it is not easy to deal with it in a low-key manner.

At least it is difficult for the FBI to deal with them. After all, the killers have military weapons in their hands, and only by sending out the army can they be taken down more easily.

But here in North America, if you want to mobilize the military to attack, you need authorization from Congress.

Not to mention the series of troublesome procedures such as congressional authorization and voting, even if this matter can be done, it will inevitably cause a huge uproar.

"Lin Yuan, how do you want me to help you?" Betty asked. She believed that Lin Yuan already had an idea.

"Although I didn't rush directly into the abandoned building, as long as I was guarding the grounds, they couldn't escape." Lin Yuan said, "Please contact the FBI and help me block the surrounding roads to prevent them from driving away and to prevent onlookers from entering."

"No problem, I'll contact them right away. What else?" Betty asked.

"That's all. I'll deal with the rest as the situation demands." Lin Yuan kept his head raised, staring at the row of glassless windows above his head.

He already knew the killer was on the 8th floor, but it was equally important whether there were people on other floors.

Lin Yuan needs to wait for the killers in the building to take action. Only if they continue to act can Lin Yuan obtain more information.

……

……

At this time, the 8th floor of the abandoned building.

The empty floor has no room divisions in the middle except for the walls on all sides. There are only a few load-bearing pillars, and the view is quite clear.

There were nine militants in total, holding weapons and standing guard in scattered positions.

The leader was an Asian man in his forties, wearing tactical camouflage uniform. He was pacing back and forth anxiously.
I didn't expect that the assassination operation that I thought was a sure thing would end up in such a dilemma.

Strictly speaking, the assassination has failed, and they should evacuate as soon as possible.

But where can we evacuate to?
This is America, not Japan controlled by the Mitsui family. They won't be able to escape far before they are caught.

What's more, Lin Yuan had just rushed downstairs. Although they had not confirmed his location, as long as Lin Yuan was guarding downstairs, it would be difficult for them to even escape by car.

Thinking of this, the team leader named Hinata Gangwu became even more irritated. He punched the wall hard and shouted angrily in Japanese:
"Damn it! Didn't they say he's still seriously injured? He looked so energetic just now, does he look like someone who's injured? Those bastards who provided the information! If I can get back safely, I'll definitely kill them."

Hearing the team leader's angry roar, a team member helplessly replied in Japanese, "Even if Lin Yuan wasn't injured, the skills he displayed just now were too inhuman, wasn't it? When he used the throwing knife to prematurely detonate the javelin missile, I even had the illusion that I was watching one of his action movies."

Hearing this, everyone present recalled the scene just now:
Lin Yuan was able to accurately grasp the time difference and shoot out two flying knives at different positions, hitting the two warheads of the Javelin missile respectively.

Although they didn't know that the time window was only 0.15 seconds long, it didn't affect their worldview being completely shattered:
Can the Javelin missile be defended in this way?

It would be better not to develop explosive reactive armor for tanks in the future, and there is no need to desperately stack steel plates for armor thickness. Just take Lin Yuan on the tank. Human reactive armor is actually the ultimate answer?

It seems that there is no need to argue about the world's most advanced tank anymore. The conclusion has been reached, that is, the tank Lin Yuan is riding is the most powerful tank. It's really outrageous.

"It's outrageous. The howitzer missed and the bullet was deflected. If I hadn't experienced it myself, if someone dared to tell me such a thing, I would definitely call him crazy." Another team member continued.

"If it weren't for Mr. Mitsui's great kindness to us, we would have to repay him with our lives. Otherwise, we really don't want to be enemies with Mr. Lin Yuan."

"I just didn't expect that even with all the weapons we used, we still couldn't do anything to Lin Yuan. He even trapped us in this building, and we're stuck in a dilemma."

Hearing the discussions of his teammates, Hinata Gangwu became even more annoyed.

As the former bodyguard captain of Mitsui Shigeo, his family has benefited greatly from the Mitsui family for generations.

But a few months ago, Shigeo Mitsui was poisoned by dimethylmercury under his protection.

Hinata Gangwu looked at his master, who was lying on the sickbed, wailing in pain day and night, but he didn't even know how he was poisoned, let alone who to take revenge on.

All this made Hinata Gangwu feel extremely humiliated.

If Lin Yuan had not hinted through channels that it was him who did it, Mitsui Shigeo would not have known who had done it to him until his death.

So when Mitsui Shigeo held his hand tightly before his death and asked him to avenge him, Hinata Kotake agreed without saying a word.

The master is humiliated and the servant dies, not to mention that the master's death was so humiliating. Hinata Komu should have committed seppuku to apologize, but now he has a chance to atone for his sins.

But with the death of his master, he lost almost all the resources he could mobilize and became unable to move forward.

Hinata Gangwu was even prepared to assassinate Lin Yuan with only guns.

Originally, he planned to take advantage of Lin Yuan's visit to Tokyo to participate in the Second Kendo Tournament and the New Judo Tournament to assassinate him.

After all, for such an important sporting event, how could Lin Yuan, as the main creator, not come in person?

But Lin Yuan really didn't come, but handed over the control of the event to his assistant, which made Hinata Gangwu very uncomfortable.

This means that if he wants to assassinate Lin Yuan, he must come to the United States.

It is already difficult to carry out assassinations within Japanese territory, and the difficulty is directly raised to several levels in terms of equipment and intelligence in the United States.

This made Hyuga Komu very desperate for a time, and he was even ready to give up the assassination and commit seppuku to apologize.

But he did not expect that various forces would extend an olive branch to him, allowing him and his team members not only to obtain military weapons and equipment, but also to help him transport them to the United States, and even provide him with Lin Yuan's itinerary information.

This made him overjoyed. He didn't expect that the conditions for assassination in North America would be even better than in Japan!
Before the assassination operation began, Hinata Gangwu once thought that such careful preparations were even a bit redundant, after all, the target Lin Yuan was still injured.

Even if he was not injured, facing this equipment that could threaten the regular army, could Lin Yuan still escape?

But the reality is so absurd and unreasonable. They are the ones who are trapped in the building at this moment?

He and his eight subordinates were all elite soldiers serving in the army. Unexpectedly, even though they were equipped with the most advanced individual weapons and equipment, they were still helpless against Lin Yuan.

"Have you found Lin Yuan's location?" Hinata Gangwu roared in dissatisfaction.

After Lin Yuan rushed downstairs, he disappeared.

Not wanting to reveal their position and being killed by the flying knife, the team members were using the glass mirror sticking out of the window to search for Lin Yuan's location downstairs.

"Found it! Due east, at 3 o'clock." A team member shouted.

Immediately, two team members, holding assault rifles, leaned out of the window and searched for Lin Yuan.

But... the downstairs is empty...

There was no sign of Lin Yuan at all.

"Baga! Where are the people? Are you seeing things?"

The team member was hit hard on the head.

"I clearly saw it just now. Maybe he ran away." The team member said aggrievedly.

"Team leader! Lin Yuan appeared in the south direction, at the 6 o'clock position!" another team member shouted.

After hearing the report, Hinata Kouwu and his team immediately ran to the south window and carefully looked out.

Still nothing...

"idiot!"

"Hai!"

The two consecutive mistakes did not make Hinata Gangwu more furious, but instead calmed him down.

Hinata Gangwu was very clear about the abilities of his subordinates. If it was possible that one person was dazzled, it was almost impossible for two people in a row to be dazzled.

There is only one conclusion: Lin Yuan deliberately exposed his position to them.

But when they gathered together, Lin Yuan had already moved to another location.

Although they are now on the 8th floor, they seem to have a better view.

However, Lin Yuan's superb flying knife skills made them dare only use glass mirrors to observe him indirectly.

This makes the efficiency of the investigation very low, so it is very easy for Lin Yuan to lead them around in circles and there is no way to do anything to him.

Hinata Gangwu guessed Lin Yuan's intention, but there was nothing he could do.

When Lin Yuan approached the downstairs, weapons such as the Javelin missiles, MK19 grenade launchers, and sniper rifles became useless.

The only weapons they could rely on were assault rifles, submachine guns and grenades.

Hinata Gangwu had obtained Lin Yuan's past battle analysis. He knew that Lin Yuan once climbed the outer wall to bypass the booby trap set by Kane, a former Navy SEAL, and unexpectedly broke in from the rear, thus achieving a surprise victory.

Therefore, Hinata Gangwu believes that Lin Yuan will replicate his previous successful tactics, and this is the only tactic he can use.

After all, there are more than 1 booby traps densely arranged in the stairs from the 8st floor to the 50th floor, and many of them are even chain booby traps.

Lin Yuan couldn't come up the stairs, so he could only climb up from the outside of the abandoned building. He had no other choice.

Hinata Gangwu was determined not to give Lin Yuan a chance to replicate his success. He even wanted to seize the opportunity when Lin Yuan climbed the stairs and beat him to pieces in mid-air while he was unable to move.

Now, the most important thing is to find Lin Yuan’s location.

So, Hinata Gangwu raised his hand and shouted, "Abandon the search for Lin Yuan and implement Plan B."

Under his instructions, all team members performed their duties and put their ears to the walls and the ground in all directions.

Everyone is responsible for their own area, and there is no crowding between them, but there are no blind spots.

As long as Lin Yuan starts climbing the stairs, there will be noise.

Then they can find the direction Lin Yuan is climbing.

Hinata Gangwu himself lay on the wall facing due north, with his ear pressed tightly against the wall.

In his opinion, Lin Yuan's most likely climbing direction was due west.

Because there are the fewest windows here, climbing up from here can minimize the risk.

At this time, Hinata Gangwu was fully focused and his mind was highly concentrated. Any sound coming from the wall could not escape his ears.

Time passes by minute by minute, and it seems especially long in this tense moment.

Maybe four or five minutes passed?
But he still didn't hear any sound.

Hinata Gangwu looked at his other teammates with some confusion.

Seeing the captain's gaze, the other team members who were lying on the wall listening to the sound also shook their heads helplessly. They also found nothing.

Isn’t Lin Yuan planning to climb the stairs?
A thought flashed through Hyuga Gangwu's mind:
Lin Yuan had no intention of taking any risks. He just wanted to stay downstairs and not give them a chance to escape.

When the reinforcements arrived, these nine people naturally surrendered.

To be honest, this is the possibility that Hinata Gangwu fears the most.

He didn't know that Lin Yuan didn't want to make a big deal out of this, so he had to deal with them first before the law enforcement agencies arrived and the media was alerted.

Therefore, based on common sense, Hinata Gangwu would easily come to the conclusion: trapping them in the building and then capturing them slowly would be the lowest risk.

This made Hinata Gangwu a little desperate. If this was true, not only would they fail to complete the mission, but they would be caught in a trap.

But this thought was quickly driven out of Hinata Gangwu's mind.

Because if Lin Yuan wanted to do this, he didn't need to stay downstairs and keep changing positions to confuse them. It would be enough to just guard their cars.

Lin Yuan will definitely take care of them himself!

This is the conclusion Hinata Gangwu came to after looking at Lin Yuan's past battle records.

So why doesn't he climb the stairs yet?
There was only one answer left: he was going to paralyze them.

When they relax their vigilance and think that he will not climb the stairs, Lin Yuan will seize the short window of time when they relax and climb up quickly.

So, Hinata Gangwu continued to press his ear against the wall and gave orders: "Don't be paralyzed by Lin Yuan, continue monitoring."

Another two minutes passed, and still no sound of anyone climbing the stairs was heard.

But Hinata Gangwu was not anxious, he believed that his prediction must be accurate.

As long as he found Lin Yuan's position of climbing the stairs, he and his teammates would immediately form a dense firepower network with the submachine guns in their hands, and shoot Lin Yuan in mid-air into a sieve.

At long distances, a submachine gun cannot compare to an assault rifle, but at such a close distance, with the Thompson submachine gun firing rate of 800 rounds per minute, Hinata Gangwu didn't believe that Lin Yuan could still use a throwing knife to split the bullets one by one.

If he could do this, then Lin Yuan was not a human being, but a god!

At this moment, there was a slight tremor in the floor.

Lin Yuan finally started climbing the stairs!

Hinata Gangwu felt ecstatic: the cunning prey had finally taken the bait.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and told himself not to be impulsive and not to scare Lin Yuan away.

Lin Yuan has just started climbing the stairs and hasn't climbed very high yet.

If he were to take action immediately, Lin Yuan might just jump off the building and hide again.

Then he will never have such a good chance to kill Lin Yuan again.

After waiting for about 10 seconds, Hinata Gangwu estimated that with Lin Yuan's climbing speed, he should have reached the 4th floor.

This position was exactly the height where Lin Yuan was in a dilemma, so Hinata Gangwu prepared to close the net.

"Forward and reverse, 8 o'clock position, ready for action in 5 seconds, please reply when you receive the order!" Hinata Gangwu said.

"..."

There was silence.

"Please reply!"

"..."

“Why don’t you reply?”

Hinata Gangwu climbed up from the wall in frustration and turned to look at his teammates.

The scene before him made his heart suddenly contract:

He saw that his eight teammates had all been knocked to the ground and were lying on the ground in deep sleep.

Lin Yuan was standing in the middle, looking at him with a smile on his face.

This smile is too familiar to Hinata Gangwu, who is also a fan of Lin Yuan's movies.

In the movie, every time Lin Yuan beats his opponent, this kind of smile appears on his face.

"How is this possible? Lin Yuan, where did you come from? Do you really know magic?" Hinata Gangwu yelled.

At this time, Hinata Gangwu had entered a state of madness.

His teammates were knocked down one by one without his knowledge, which made Hinata Gangwu fall into despair. At this time, there was only one thought in his mind: Even if he loses, he can't lose in an unclear way?

We have been monitoring Lin Yuan, but how did he suddenly appear?
"Since you're asking so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you." Lin Yuan said with a smile, "But when I ask you questions later, you have to answer them honestly. That's only fair."

Lin Yuan pointed to the stairwell and said, "I came up from there."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"You mean those dozens of booby traps in the hallway? I dodged them all. It was no problem at all."

"..."

"Now you need some sweet sleep, I'll see you later."

"Crack!"

Lin Yuan rushed to Hinata Gangwude in one step and cut the back of his neck with a knife.

Hinata Gangwu didn't even try to dodge. He felt a black screen in front of his eyes and passed out.

After finishing everything, Lin Yuan clapped his hands and took out his phone: "Let the FBI come in and help me prepare the interrogation room. I need to find out the whole story as soon as possible."

"Okay, the staff will be here soon."

Looking at the Japanese killers lying on the ground with their limbs spread out, Lin Yuan had already guessed their identities. The only uncertainty was who was involved in today's assassination, which would be revealed through interrogation later.

To be honest, today's raid went much more smoothly than he expected. He had originally thought it would be a tough battle, and he was even prepared to face the muzzle of a submachine gun.

But he didn't expect that these were a group of Japanese people who were too methodical and rigid in their work. They actually thought he would climb up the outer wall?
Lin Yuan would not choose to climb the outer wall foolishly, especially when the enemy already has a deep understanding of him.

When he raided Kane before, he did not choose to go through the corridor full of booby traps. This would leave an impression on the killer, which is:
Lin Yuan couldn't solve the problem of facing the booby trap. He was helpless last time, so the killers believed that he would not take the stairs.

In addition, the difficulty and density of the booby traps in the corridor this time are indeed far higher than the traps set by Kane.

Therefore, Hinata Kouwu and his team members had no control over the corridor.

In their opinion, even if Lin Yuan did not climb up the stairs from the outer wall, but chose to take the stairs for a sudden decision, he would definitely trigger the booby trap.

Then the sound of the explosion is the best warning.

But they would never have imagined that Lin Yuan’s strength had changed a lot. With the blessing of two great talents, what was a mere thunder array?
His consciousness was like the ultimate AI under the control of a supercomputer. He quickly found the booby trap, figured out how to deal with it, and completed the evasive action without any mistakes.

Lin Yuan went straight up from the first floor to the eighth floor without even any gap. It took him less than 5 minutes to reach Hinata Gangwude's side.

When he arrived at the eighth floor, he saw nine killers, some of whom were lying on the ground, and some were clinging to the wall. Their strange movements were full of comedy.

All their attention was focused on trying to catch the sound of him climbing the outer wall, and some even closed their eyes.

This made Lin Yuan's raid much easier, and he ended the farce almost effortlessly.

At this time, Lin Yuan had already tied up each of their hands and feet with restraints.

Then he counted the equipment in front of him:
5 sets of Javelin anti-tank missiles.

1 set of MK19 grenade launcher.

3 Barrett sniper rifles.

8 Thompson submachine guns.

……

These equipments are not easy to obtain. Even the FBI does not have equipment with such powerful firepower.

This is definitely not something that these Japanese killers in front of us can do. There must be more powerful forces behind it.

Lin Yuan began to look forward to what kind of answer the interrogation would give him.
