Chapter 909
"Boom~~~~"
"Rat-tat-tat~~~~~"
Dense "da da da" fully automatic shooting sounds came from all directions, mixed with the "boom" of fragmentation grenade explosions.
The 18th floor instantly became a battlefield of fierce fighting.
Immediately after,
Boom~~~
The floor-to-ceiling window on the 18th floor was instantly shattered, and transparent glass fragments fell like a rainstorm, hitting the sidewalk and splashing fine dregs.
"Quick, hide inside!" The bookstore owner dragged an old man passing by into the store.
Many residents opposite the building peeked out from the door frame, only to see grey-white gunpowder smoke constantly pouring out of the 18th-floor window.
Suddenly, a black shadow slid down by rope, but just as it reached the 12th floor, the security team below swept a "da da" burst of fire, and the black shadow screamed, let go, and smashed heavily into the green belt downstairs, the AR-15 rifle in his hand flying out several meters away.
And downstairs, a KTVU television reporter recorded the scene of the gunfight.
The exchange of fire lasted for a full ten minutes before it gradually stopped, and the gunpowder smoke drifted down along the cracks of the building.
After it stopped,
Passersby poked their heads out one after another.
"Finished fighting?"
"Won."
"What exactly happened?"
Soon, in the eyes of the citizens and under the photography of the television station, the security team carried out 8 corpses and came out of the building.
8 "assassins," all shot dead.
And at this time,
Upstairs,
The Umbrella security team was checking the room where the "assassins" were.
The smell of gunpowder was rich, overturned folding tables and broken coffee cups were scattered on the ground, a map marking the route lay on the ground, and the "Umbrella Company—Chinatown" path outlined by a red marker was still clearly visible.
And an encrypted walkie-talkie.
"It's a military-grade encrypted channel, not something ordinary forces can use."
"Captain, there's a discovery here!" Team member Jones found half a burnt note in the pile of shredded paper, the edges still carrying the charred black of flame burning, and the remaining handwriting could be identified as
"Targeting Umbrella Properties..."
"Send these pieces of evidence back to the headquarters technical section immediately..."
"Then, check the identities of those 8 people..."
Soon, KTVU television station began to report this news.
"Dear viewers, good evening everyone, this is KTVU news special broadcast, I am anchor Anna."
"This afternoon, two vicious attacks against Umbrella Properties occurred one after another in Los Angeles."
"Half an hour ago, Mr. Li Fu, Chairman of Umbrella Properties, encountered a remote sniper attack at the company entrance. Fortunately, he retreated back to the building in time and was not seriously injured."
The video was a recording that clearly recorded the loud "bang" sound, after which the utility pole was hit with a big hole, and Following Xiao Fu retreated back to the building at high speed under the cover of bodyguards.
"Then 10 minutes later, the Umbrella security team discovered the armed elements who intended to assassinate Mr. Li Fu on the 18th floor of the 179 office building on his way home from work, and the two sides had a fierce gunfight..."
Then the video switched to the battle scene on the 18th floor.
Explosion sounds, gunshots, falling glass...
"In the end, the Umbrella security team shot dead 8 armed elements..."
The lens captured several security team members carrying corpses downstairs.
"The materials and objects left at the gunfight scene have been sent for appraisal, and the identity verification of the 8 armed elements is also progressing synchronously..."
"However, preliminary data proves that this group of armed elements might come from the Republican Party..."
Finally,
The television reporter began to "can't help but reflect":
"From street sniping to office building ambush, who is directing it?"
"Who exactly did Umbrella Properties offend behind the scenes?"
"Is it related to the recent contradictory political situation?"
"Also, the evidence at the scene seems to point to the Republican Party, could it be..."
With KTVU's report, the entire US media was directly excited to the point of collapse.
Holy shit, big news!
They followed up one after another!
So major television stations urgently interrupted regular programs to insert breaking news, and a public opinion war surrounding "the mastermind behind the attack" suddenly broke out.
Television stations in the Democratic camp shouted for the first time: The Republican Party is trapped and fighting, the Bush administration is suspected of planning the assassination, trying to cover up the impeachment scandal!
The Republican camp countered: This is a carefully designed frame-up! Seeing that the impeachment investigation lacks solid evidence, the Democratic Party did not hesitate to use the safety of the people's lives as a gamble, planning the attack while framing the Republican Party, attempting to incite public opinion and harvest votes. Simply as evil as a demon!
The eyes of the whole United States were attracted.
It even moved the eyes of the world.
White House.
"Fuck!"
"Boom~~~"
Bush was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"What the hell is going on?!"
Bush's roar echoed in the room, staring dead at the secretary standing in front of the table,
"Was it you? Was it you who contacted those private security companies behind my back, wanting to kill that Li Fu!"
He thought the secretary had proposed it.
The secretary hurriedly said: "Mr. President, absolutely not me! It was rejected by you last time, how could I act without authorization!"
"And, I am loyal to you, how could I do such a thing that harms you!"
Bush also felt that the secretary would not betray him; after all, they were a community of interests.
Therefore!
It was the Democratic Party!
"It must be the Democratic Party! They planned the attack and then framed all the evidence on us!"
"They want everyone to believe that it was me who, in order to retaliate against Umbrella Properties and divert the pressure of impeachment, committed the murder!"
"This is a frame-up! It's a trap!"
Bush felt too wronged!
Really damn pot falling from the sky!
He closed his eyes in despair.
This group of people playing politics, their hearts are really dirty!
Bush suddenly looked at the secretary: "Arrange immediately—tomorrow morning at ten, hold a press conference in the White House Rose Garden! I want to speak to the whole United States myself and clarify this matter!"
Secretary: "Ah..."
He really wanted to say, my president, your press conference last time was exposed, does anyone believe your speech this time?
But he didn't dare to say this.
On the Los Angeles side, Umbrella Properties' actions were faster.
That night,
Following Xiao Fu took advantage of this heat to hold a press conference.
It was not easy to create such a battle, so how could he not take the opportunity to collect some interest.
