Chapter 473: Chapter 469: Encountering an Ambush
After finishing the meal, Lin Mu left the restaurant with Zhou Xun, and they drove towards their homes as the sky had darkened. Thus, the Bugatti Veyron drove on the deserted road where few people appeared at night. This road, leading to the neighborhood of Lin Mu’s villa, was an unavoidable path home!
Lin Mu drove the car and slowly stopped because not far ahead, two large trees had fallen horizontally in the middle of the road, blocking the way forward; it was impossible for the car to get through!
"What’s going on? There’s been no wind or rain, how could there be trees falling in the road?" Zhou Xun, sitting in the passenger seat, asked puzzled.
Out of instinctive reaction, Lin Mu quickly understood what was happening!
"Someone deliberately blocked the road, haha!" Lin Mu laughed and said.
"Someone deliberately blocked the road? Who’s so mean?" Zhou Xun asked.
"I don’t know who it is, but they’re probably targeting us, be careful!"
Lin Mu said, observing the movements on both sides of the road. There were no streetlights on either side, pitch black, and nothing could be discerned at all, plus the opposition came prepared, it would not be easy to discover them!
"Superstar, roll up the car windows!" Lin Mu said.
The windows were covered in thick black film, so rolling them up would make it impossible to see inside from the outside! Zhou Xun nodded and rolled up the windows. Then Lin Mu took out his cell phone, as the situation was still unclear, he naturally needed to be cautious.
After taking out the phone, Lin Mu called Earth Wolf.
"Hey, boss, what’s up!"
"Earth Wolf, bring a few people to the road opposite my house immediately; I have a matter to deal with," Lin Mu said directly.
"Boss, what’s the matter?" Earth Wolf asked.
"It’s hard to explain in a few words, just come over first!" Lin Mu said.
"Okay, boss, I’ll bring people right away!" responded Earth Wolf.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu observed the surroundings, worried that there might be shooters around. Lin Mu looked at Zhou Xun, "Superstar, go to the back of the car, try to crouch down!"
Zhou Xun nodded and crawled from the passenger seat to the back seat of the car.
"Brother Lin, what should we do now?" Zhou Xun asked, a bit worried from the back seat.
"Don’t worry, I’ve already called Earth Wolf, wait a moment, and he will come to assist us soon!" Lin Mu said.
Lin Mu was also unaware of the situation around the road, so naturally, he would not easily leave the car. If there were hidden snipers, getting out of the car would likely make him a living target!
Lin Mu simply leaned the car seat back, lying directly on the seat, to prevent being shot through the glass by the opponent. If they had a skilled sniper, doing such a thing wouldn’t be difficult, so Lin Mu was even more cautious!
Meanwhile, in the grass on the hill by the road, two dark figures were moving nonstop, keeping a tight watch on Lin Mu’s car. There were two guys hiding in the grass, precisely two snipers, one called Left Army, the other Right Army, two usually well-coordinated shooting experts. Their task was to deal with Lin Mu from two hundred meters away.
"Hehe, this guy is quite cunning, turning off the car and the lights, not making a sound!"
"Right Army, don’t rush, wait for the opportunity. This is their inevitable path; if they want to go home, they have to move the tree first. We’ll act when they get out of the car!" said Left Army to Right Army.
Left Army had a sniper rifle nestled under his arm, aiming precisely at the direction of Lin Mu’s car! Left Army and Right Army hid not far from the road, closely monitoring the car, while Lin Mu made no movement, just hiding inside the car, leading to a standoff between both sides!
The surrounding was silent, without a sound. Ten minutes later, a sudden strong light shone over, as Earth Wolf drove a large Range Rover next to Lin Mu’s car!
Behind Earth Wolf’s vehicle, several Jinbei vans arrived, surrounding Lin Mu’s car, and after the vans stopped, a dozen men in black T-shirts got out, forming a human wall around Lin Mu’s car, while other guards spread out to search in all directions!
Earth Wolf swaggered as he opened the car door, "Boss, what’s going on?"
"There are snipers around, trying to assassinate me!" Lin Mu said, with his sharp Seventh Sense, he had long sensed the dense killing intent on the road, and he could even perceive that there was more than one opponent.
"Who are they?" asked Earth Wolf.
"Not clear, there are more than one, so be cautious!" Lin Mu said.
Earth Wolf nodded, got out of the car, and began leading people to search!
"Right Army, let’s withdraw first, they’re here to search!" Left Army, holding the sniper rifle, observed the surroundings and said.
Left Army’s position was on a small hill not far from the roadside, about two hundred meters from the road, while Right Army’s position was much closer, just about fifty meters!
After getting the hint from Left Army, Right Army got up and turned to run back.
"Who’s there?" a sharp-eyed underling spotted a moving shadow on the sidelines and shouted.
The shout immediately caught the attention of the people around, and they all began to chase Right Army.
"Bang! Bang!" Two shots, the silenced sniper rifles directly hit the legs of the two leading Special Bodyguards, who fell to the ground crying out in pain!
"They have sniper rifles, everyone stop chasing!" Earth Wolf gestured to stop them.
All the security guards promptly stopped, and the silhouette of Right Army quickly disappeared into the night, with Earth Wolf waving his hand to lead them back. At this moment, Lin Mu came out of the car with a cigarette.
"Boss, the person escaped, two brothers were hit by bullets, the opponent has sniper rifles and is positioned on high ground, pursuing them would mean casualties, it seems their marksmanship is excellent!" reported Earth Wolf.
"Got it, send the two brothers to the hospital first!" Lin Mu said.
Earth Wolf nodded, arranging for some people to send the injured guards to the hospital, while others moved the trees blocking the road away!
"Boss, who do you think did this?" Earth Wolf asked.
Lin Mu shook his head, he wasn’t sure now. If it was Chen Shiwei, Lin Mu doubted he’d move against him so soon, and if not Chen Shiwei, then who could it be?
The opposite side even used sniper rifles, seemingly intending to kill with one shot directly! The fact they used guns indicated a desire not to reveal their identity, or were they afraid Lin Mu would find out something? This puzzled Lin Mu, what was the opponent’s purpose in wanting to kill him!
