Chapter 337: Assassination
Chapter 337: Assassination
A week later.
A tall man stood in the corner by the exit of Zurich Airport, seemingly waiting for the return of his lover.
This man had long blond hair, which was slicked back with cream and there was a ghost of a smile flitting at the corner of his mouth, which gave him the air of a medieval British aristocrat.
The girls and ladies who came and went at the airport would inadvertently look over, their gazes attempting to linger on the man’s face for a few more seconds.
This was not to blame them. After all, it was human nature to yearn for beauty and this blond man in front of them would score highly in terms of temperament and image.
In the crowd, the blond man with a warm smile swept his eyes past each passenger who had walked out of the airport. Everyone received almost the same gaze and no one received anything extra.
No matter how one looked at it, this blond man must just be waiting for his wife or a friend.
The passengers passed by him one by one, but the blond man did not look restless at all. He did not even look at the watch on his wrist but waited with a heart full of patience.
This serious manner of his made those single women who were stunned by his appearance secretly jealous. How they wondered, what sort of woman would have such a man waiting for her?
It was a pity that this man was just a passer-by in everyone’s life after all. All they could do was just brush shoulders with this perfect man and then completely forget about the whole thing.
In this manner, about fifteen minutes passed again.
Just when batch after batch of passengers had gone through the airport, finally, a young man with Chinese features appeared in the crowd.
This young man was about 1.8 meters tall with a slender frame, but one could not make out his face clearly.
This was because he wore a duckbill cap, which shielded his entire face in shadows.
Although his face could not be discerned, there were strapping men in black suits secretly following him on all sides. Their positions suggested that they were protecting him in the middle.
The four bodyguards exuded a faint bloodthirsty aura. It was a presence that could only be emitted by people who had seen blood. It was just that ordinary people could not smell or detect this aura. Only people in the same line of work or those capable professionals who were trained and highly observant, were able to sense this.
At this time, the blond man standing at the exit of the airport had a smile on his face. As usual, he swept his gaze over the Chinese youth, without stopping at all, and then continued to scan the crowds.
Obviously, the Chinese young man was not the one he was looking for.
Therefore, the two passed each other in this manner, just like the tens of thousands of other people in this airport. Their encounter was just a coincidence and no story would be born from this.
It was not until the Chinese youth had walked away and could no longer be seen that the blond man frowned. He looked at his watch, then took out his cell phone to make a call, and then left with a look of evident disappointment.
It seemed that the person he was waiting for had not come. The other party had missed the appointment.
Next, the blond young man drove straight out of the airport in a car, went around the Zurich ring road, and after many turns, finally reached the foothills of the Alps.
After half an hour, the blond man returned to the wooden house where Wynn had been interrogated.
At this time, the two blonde women in the wooden house were fiddling with the radio on the table, and beside them, there was another blonde woman.
This blonde young woman looked extremely young. She seemed to be only about twenty years old, with tiny freckles on her face, as cute as a button.
At the present moment, the young woman was sitting on a high chair at one side, her long and fair legs dangling and swaying, full of seductive youth and vitality.
This young woman was like a ripe juicy peach.
“Annie, why did you come?”
When the blond youth saw the girl, he frowned at once. “Your father may request to see you at any time, and now you should be getting ready.”
“I’m ready, Brother Fisher.”
The girl chuckled with a look of indifference.
Seeing this, the blond man could only purse his lips, revealing a helpless expression.
“Alright, if you guys want to flirt, I suggest that you go out.”
One of the blonde women who were playing with the radio turned her head, looking expectant. “Fisher, you said you want to observe the man up close before he dies. What’s the result? Have you seen him?”
“I’ve seen him.”
Fisher could not help but chortle when he heard these words. He folded his arms and leaned lazily on the door frame. “Although the Chinese man’s looks were a bit obscured, he truly has a unique presence...”
“Unique presence?”
The girl called Annie appeared to be curious. “I’ve also seen him. He came to my house to invite my dad, but I didn’t know who he was at the time. I only know that my dad refused his invitation in the end.”
“This indicates that your father still carries some weight in the eyes of that man.”
Fisher nodded. “This is why we pretended to kidnap you and forced your father to invite that man to Switzerland. However, after seeing this man today, I realized that he’s indeed a genius. Because despite my mastery of behavioral psychology, I found that I couldn’t see through him.”
“Not even you can see through him?”
Annie looked astonished. “Brother Fisher, are you thinking too highly of this guy? When I first saw him, I only thought he was very ordinary.”
“That’s the truth.”
Fisher frowned when he heard these words. “Annie, don’t underestimate our enemy. He was able to start from scratch and individually create a force with an influence comparable to a world-class pharmaceutical company. How can he be that simple? I’m afraid that his capabilities won’t be much more inferior to mine.”
“Fine, I know!”
Annie snorted twice and then retorted again. “Anyway, now that he has come to Switzerland, he’s already dead meat. Brother Fisher, just wait for good news from us!”
“I hope so.”
Fischer nodded. Indeed, although the other party had brought bodyguards, in the face of the joint funding of multiple consortia, coupled with the secret support of the European government, Fisher really could not imagine how the man named Chen Chen would possibly be able to survive.
Thinking of this, Fisher turned his head and looked at a picture of a young Chinese man in the wooden house.
In the photo, the young man’s expression seemed ominous. His eyes were as deep as bottomless pools and there was a dark glint in them.
As he gazed at this legendary young man, a glimmer of jealousy flashed in Fisher’s eyes, and then he chuckled softly. “Even if you have the strongest ability, being able to unite a dozen financial groups to protect yourself, even if you have a talent that is capable of developing a potion that would change the world, it’s a pity that ultimately, you’re in our way.
“Since you’re in our way, you must be prepared to be thoroughly crushed to death by us...”
At this moment, there was a rhythmic beeping sound coming from the radio transceiver that the blonde woman was using.
This kind of sound was very familiar to anyone who had watched a movie. Everyone knew what it was called. However, when hearing this sound, everyone including Fisher and Annie looked up in pure excitement as they listened in silence.
After a while, one of the blonde women recovered from her excitement and said loudly, “The message from Team B says that the target has rented a five-star presidential suite in Caesars Hotel, but they didn’t stay there. Instead, after renting the suite, they’ve headed directly to Samuel’s house!”
“In that case, let’s begin the plan.”
A cruel smile curled up at the corner of Fisher’s mouth. “Let the operating team be divided into four groups. The first group shall lie in wait outside Samuel’s house and be ready for any opportunity to kill him in one strike!
“The second group shall wait to ambush him in the hotel as a standby, in case the first group has an accident and the plan is canceled.
“The third group, as agreed, is lying in ambush near the embassy of Mainland China. If the assassination fails, he’ll go to the embassy to seek asylum. This group is to intercept and kill him just as he’s about to arrive at the embassy, and prevent him from entering as far as they can...
“As for the last group, let them wait inside the embassy. Don’t worry, the officials there will turn a blind eye...”
After finishing all the arrangements, Fisher secretly sighed. Although it was not the first time he was giving orders, this was the first time he was attempting to control a person’s life in his own hands.
He must admit that this feeling was pretty good.
“Brother Fisher, my father...”
Just then, Annie reminded in a low voice, “Please try not to bring any harm to my father’s life.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t guarantee that.”
Fisher shook his head and said sternly, “You care about your father’s life, then do you care about the lives of my subordinates? Perhaps if they held back even the slightest, it’d cause someone to die in action. Have you ever considered that, if this mission fails because we’re looking out for your father, then you and I both have sinned against the entire world...”
“In that case... Alright.”
Hearing these words, Annie had to lower her head, somewhat dejected. “Then please go all out, Brother Fisher. I think my father should understand the painful struggles his daughter had to endure!”
“That’s more like it.”
Fisher rubbed Annie’s head and suddenly the girl blushed all over. She could not help turning around and running away.
A cold smirk appeared on Fisher’s face when Annie had left. He nodded at the two blonde women, then turned and left the wooden house.
This time, he wanted to appreciate the death of his prey up close...
...
An hour later, when Fisher appeared near Samuel’s villa in his limited-edition car with all electronic equipment removed, he had found the most comfortable position, propped his legs up, and reclined his seat halfway down.
At this time, there was already a hand-held walkie-talkie in front of him and the walkie-talkie continuously crackled as it provided updates marred by static.
“The first group is already in place, the sniper is ready...
“The target is found. The target is currently located in the living room of Samuel’s house. The two parties seem to be talking.
“Sniper is in position. The shot may be taken at any time...
“The detonation team is in place and one hundred kilograms of explosives have been placed in Samuel’s home. If the sniper fails, the explosives will be detonated and the villa will be destroyed directly before the situation becomes irredeemable...”
“The pursuit group is in place. If the opponent escapes by chance, the pursuit group will take to the road to chase and kill the target as far as possible!”
This is only the first group. Fisher has considered all the possibilities. The only flaw was that the government itself could not assist him directly.
Although the European government was eager for Chen Chen to die, they could not possibly take action personally. After all, even the walls have ears. If this news was leaked out, the impact on the reputation of the entire European Continent would far exceed the threat posed by Chen Chen.
Therefore, the only help that the European Continent’s government could provide was to facilitate the activities of the “White Embers” as much as possible.
Currently, after everyone was in place, someone on the intercom started asking Fisher, “Sir, shall we start now?
“Let’s start!”
Fisher pressed the voice button and gave the final order.
Immediately, within a few seconds, Fisher heard a thunderous explosion not far from the front left of him!
It was the sound of a Remington sniper rifle.
“Is it done?”
At the same time he heard the gunshots, Fisher fixed his eyes on the distant villa, waiting for the next update in the situation.
However, the only update Fisher got was the sniper’s quietly relieved voice, saying, “I’ve successfully hit the target’s head. If there’s no mistake, the opponent should be dead.”
“Dead?”
Fisher was astounded when he heard this.
He had even prepared for the failure of the first set of actions. After all, the other guy was not an ordinary person, but a wizard who founded a legendary pharmaceutical company.
It was just that this triumph came too abruptly. Fisher could not come to terms with it for a moment and even though that the update was fake.
“Yes, sir.”
The walkie-talkie repeated its previous statement. “I can see from the scope that the target’s brain has been completely shattered when the Remington sniper rifle fired the bullet. I’ve successfully completed the mission!”
“Very well done. Now please withdraw and leave the scene immediately.”
Seeing that the sniper was asserting this so solemnly, Fisher understood that this group of people had no reason to deceive him. Some of their lives and families were even in Fisher’s very hands. This group of killers wanted to protect themselves from punishment, so their only option was to flee the scene...
At the same time Fisher gave the order, the first group had already begun to retreat.
More than ten minutes later, ambulances and police cars came over. The police began to cordon off the scene and the ambulance brought the dead target back to the morgue.
To make sure the target had not escaped like a snake shedding its skin, Fisher simply took this opportunity to infiltrate Samuel’s house and take some blood samples.
At this time, several policemen in Samuel’s house were closely investigating. As the lowest level of the political system, they certainly did not know that the murder was related to their own higher-ups, so they were conducting the investigation conscientiously.
Fisher had also sent an insider who worked at the police station.
Something like a blood sample was easy enough to extract. After all, although the assassination scene was so bloody, this meant that there was also more blood and brain plasma on the ground. A little bit here and there would not be missed by anyone.
