50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 611 The Four Heavenly Kings Take Their Place
At the scene of the crime, the man who fell, Dong Guisen, was caught on the spot by the police. A few days later, he confessed to the involvement of Chen Qili and another man, Wu Dun.

The assassination attempt quickly caused a huge uproar, and the FBI was ordered to intervene in the investigation.

At this time, Chen Qili and Wu Dun, who had been abandoned, had returned to Sun Moon Lake, but they were arrested a few days later.

Upon receiving the news, Chang Anle, who was in San Francisco, kept his promise and immediately released the recording he had to the public.

The FBI then used technological surveillance methods to quickly obtain useful intelligence. These surveillance methods referred to the "Long Line Building" in New York.

There is a mysterious skyscraper at 33 Thomas Street in the heart of Manhattan, New York. The entire building has no windows, and its design is quite anti-human.

The building has extremely tight security measures, and anyone who wants to enter or leave the building must undergo strict checks.

Furthermore, the building is said to be the most robust in the world, capable of withstanding a nuclear blast, making it resemble a giant fortress standing in the center of the city.

The building is nominally the long-distance telephone building of America Telephone & Telegraph Company (AT&T), and it is said to be full of cables and computers, serving as AT&T's communications data center.

But privately it also has another name, Titanpointe, which is the name of a top-secret surveillance program of the American National Security Agency (NSA).

This is actually a secret NSA surveillance base where they access AT&T's communications backbone network to eavesdrop on global phone calls, faxes, and internet data.

Its surveillance network spans the globe and covers the United Nations, international financial institutions, and allied countries.

The FBI has used high-tech methods across departments, and naturally, they have obtained a lot of useful information.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and half a month later, Wang Xiling, Chen Qili, Wu Dun, and others were sentenced to life imprisonment.

Chang Anle, who was in the United States, didn't fare well either; not long after, he was imprisoned for a minor offense.

Thus, this farce came to an end. Some people were disgraced and their authority collapsed, while others reaped what they sowed.

In short, this was a chaotic and messy affair, and Sun Zhiwei detailed the cause and effect of the incident in his subsequent report.

After receiving the report, Xu Yimin was also relieved that he had sent Sun Zhiwei to investigate. Otherwise, if they had been implicated, they would have lost face big time.

The original "Jiangnan case" had been delayed for several years, but now that Sun Zhiwei has made a slight change, the progress has been accelerated.

However, it took half a year for the case to be concluded. Sun Zhiwei knew the outcome in advance, so he naturally didn't have the time to waste on this matter.

Therefore, after the incident, he first gave his family a reply and then promised to provide a detailed report once the case was resolved.

Therefore, Xu Yimin received the incident report six months later.

During this time, Sun Zhiwei had already returned to Washington.

Although he was away for a short time, when he returned he found that his home had changed a lot. The biggest change was that four bodyguards, two men and two women, had moved in.

Their names are Dong Haoyang, Zhu Hongfei, Zhao Wanting, and Du Qiaoqiao.

Team leader Dong Haoyang used to be a squad leader. He was tall and burly, skilled in close combat, but he was the most meticulous of the four. He designed all the guard plans.

Zhu Hongfei is a technical talent; he is proficient in operating even computers, which are relatively rare these days, and excels in long-range sniping and mechanical operations. What surprised Sun Zhiwei was that he had actually trained at the special forces training base in Qingdao for six months and was one of the few trainees at the base to graduate with high marks.

The training base near my father-in-law's place in Qingdao has become quite famous in the military over the years.

Because many of the courses that Sun Zhiwei designed for them back then were prepared for himself, which can be said to be completely beyond the curriculum.

Back then, Sun Zhiwei rushed through many things to save time. For example, he would memorize the various aircraft flight theory courses after reading them once, and then go straight to the actual training on the plane.

Ordinary students don't have this ability; it would take them three months just to memorize the driving manual.

There are also various on-the-fly piloting opportunities. Sun Zhiwei can switch to a different aircraft every week, which is recognized by his coach and is also his talent.

When ordinary students came to learn later, the instructors dared not let them fly directly; otherwise, no matter how many planes there were, they wouldn't be enough to keep them from crashing.

Why do pilots have to study for many years and only be able to specialize in one or two main areas, such as flying helicopters versus transport planes and fighter jets? The difference is too great.

Especially with fighter jets, the high-speed overload is something many people's bodies simply cannot adapt to. This has nothing to do with physical strength; it's entirely a matter of whether an individual's brain can handle it.

Just like acrophobia, you might call it an illness since there's no cure, but it's actually hereditary. Some people are born with a fear of heights, while others aren't.

And that "Foolproof Single-Person Submarine Operation Procedure"—if it weren't for Sun Zhiwei's father-in-law's guarantee, who would dare give Sun Zhiwei a submarine for training?

However, the base did not cancel those courses, but retained them as special programs. The instructors responsible for training the trainees often used these special programs to intimidate the new trainees.

According to later trainees, those courses were not meant for humans; it would take at least 10 years to complete all the Level A courses.

However, there really was an anonymous record in the training base, showing that someone had actually passed all the Level A courses in six months, which made the later trainees start to doubt themselves.

Therefore, to graduate with high marks from these instructors, one must have performed exceptionally well, at the very least passing courses such as solo submarine piloting.

That's why Sun Zhiwei was so surprised by Zhu Hongfei's resume.

The other two girls, Zhao Wanting, are skilled in close protection, while Du Qiaoqiao is skilled in medical care.

Despite their gentle names and pretty faces, their complexion, though not fair, is due to years of training.

Among the four, these two women were the most fierce, and Dong Haoyang and Zhu Hongfei were often left speechless by their barbs.

From Tong Jiajia, Sun Zhiwei learned about the background of the four bodyguards; they were all from the security bureau, which was quite unbelievable.

He himself never felt that his rank was that high. After all, in the capital city, even a street director was only at the twelfth or thirteenth level.

He didn't think he was that important, even though he had provided a lot of equipment for his family, because he had never received any positive feedback.

He doesn't even know if his contributions over the years have improved the technological equipment at home.

Because the equipment displayed at this anniversary celebration was exactly the same as the history he remembered, he began to doubt whether what he was doing was actually effective.
