Lighthouse Country, Miami.
Grant slipped while taking a shower, hit his head on the edge of the bathtub and fell unconscious. By the ti people found him, he had lost too much blood and died.
There were so many deaths like this one that no one suspected anything unusual. What was unusual, however, was that the will Grant deposited at a certain law firm was missing.
The only ones who knew about the will were the law firm and the notary, but the notary got involved in the dispute among Grant’s heirs, so the law firm decisively played dead and stayed out of it, while the notary was only too happy to do the sa.
As a result, Grant’s subordinates split into three factions, and within a short period, they fought like cats and dogs.
For ten days, gunfire was almost continuous in certain areas. Of course, Lu Zheng would never admit that he had slightly affected so people’s emotions.
Then, after all the heirs had shot each other, and the other big shots in Miami had entered the scene, everyone realized that most of Grant’s assets had mysteriously disappeared after his death, leaving only a few real estates and a large amount of debt.
This ant that Grant’s Purple Sun Group had gone bankrupt, and with no one to inherit it, the bank loans beca a pile of bad debts.
At this ti, the CIA was too busy dealing with its own eight billion US dollars and a leak of black accounts to pay attention to or be concerned about Grant’s accidental death and the ensuing chaos.
Of course, all of this was later on. Initially, Lu Zheng had set a trap, pocketed nearly a billion US dollars, and then left early without following up on the aftermath.
...
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Having just finished his business, Lu Zheng was enjoying an authentic Arican beef burger at a Burger King when he saw a few police officers across the street stop a pickup truck, and after a brief exchange, they pulled out their guns and started shooting wildly at the driver’s seat.
Lu Zheng, "..."
At the sound of gunshots, everyone inside the burger joint showed a look of panic; so ran to the back kitchen, so crawled under tables, but most just hit the ground.
The familiarity of it was heartbreaking.
Only Lu Zheng remained indifferent, watching with great interest through the window.
He had always seen such situations on the news and videos, but today was the first ti he witnessed a live police operation in the Lighthouse Country, and sure enough, they drew their guns at the slightest provocation, and...
Emptied the magazine!
The officers fully emptied their magazines, firing dozens of shots and turning the pickup’s driver’s seat into a sieve before putting away their guns and calling for backup and an ambulance.
Two officers guarded the scene, two maintained order, while two others, laughing and chatting, headed toward the burger joint, seemingly intent on getting sothing to eat.
Seeing the custors inside looking towards them with lingering fear, the two officers chuckled, "It’s okay folks, it was a junkie who overdosed and tried to assault us. We’ve taken him out. You’re safe now."
"Good!"
"Thank God!"
"Thank you!"
The whites said this, while a few black people getting up off the floor cast them strange looks, clearly not buying the police’s story.
"Qiao, over there!"
"Hmm?"
The addressed officer turned, following his partner’s gaze to see an unfamiliar Asian calmly eating a burger, watching the grim scene outside with interest.
"He’s very composed."
"Not like a typical Asian; a typical Asian would wet their pants by now."
"A foreign tourist? Or... a spy?"
"A bit obvious, huh? Could also be a journalist or sothing."
"Don’t know, let’s ask, could be another achievent."
The two officers abandoned their plan to buy burgers and approached Lu Zheng from both sides.
At that mont, in the Lighthouse Country, Lu Zheng certainly would not reveal his true appearance, so he used an Illusion Technique to make himself look like Yuan Jing, ensuring he wouldn’t be exposed.
Seeing the two officers approaching, Lu Zheng’s eyes flashed, puzzled at how eating a al could attract such attention.
"Sir, please show us your identification."
One officer said, while the other placed his hand on the holster at his back.
Identification? Where would Lu Zheng get identification?
Unbelievably, even watching the excitent could lead to trouble. Lu Zheng could only reply, "I didn’t bring it."
"Didn’t bring it?"
Not only the second officer, but the first also reached for his gun, "Then please co with us to the station."
"I’m not going." Lu Zheng frowned slightly, asking flatly, "What cri have I committed? Why do I have to go to the station with you?"
Can Lighthouse Country police just take anyone back to the station?
Lu Zheng frowned slightly, exuding an aura of authority, confidence, and presence, the kind that cos from having killed before and standing at the top of the food chain.
However, this only made the two officers see him as an even greater threat, and in the next mont, both handguns were pointed at Lu Zheng.
"Stand up!"
"Hands on your head!"
"Squat down!"
"Co out slowly!"
The two officers shouted several conflicting commands, looking angrily at Lu Zheng, their bodies tense.
Damn it, in Lighthouse Country, only whites are the masters; when did Asians get to be so arrogant? Aren’t Asians supposed to be submissive and ek?
"We now suspect you’re involved in a robbery, co with us!"
In the restaurant, seeing the officers suddenly brandishing their guns and losing their temper, patrons fled before shots could be fired, while several workers hid in the back kitchen, poking their heads out to watch the drama.
Facing two gun barrels, Lu Zheng remained unfazed, instead taking the last bite of his burger and wiping his mouth, taunting, "Is this how Lighthouse Country police work?"
Raising his eyebrows, he gave them an eagle-eyed stare, and in the next mont, the two officers, instinctively tightening, pulled their triggers.
"Bang bang bang!"
Of course they missed, as Lu Zheng instantly flipped the table to block the bullets, then casually pushed, sending the two officers plumting backward.
Then, moving like a fish, he covered a three-step distance, erging from the side of the table to snatch the officers’ guns, lightly knocking each on the back of the head with the butt, infusing True Qi to disperse their Divine Souls.
Vegetative state x2!
At the sound of gunfire, screams ca from the back kitchen, and with a "bang," the door slamd shut.
Outside on the street, officers who had just seen the custors pouring out, intrigued, heard the gunfire and witnessed the scene through the windows.
Draw weapons! Find cover! Call for backup!
When the opponents are unard, Lighthouse Country police are fearless. But as soon as they saw Lu Zheng take down two officers and seize two guns, they instantly cowered.
Lu Zheng glanced at the guns, twirled one around his finger, then looked up at the officers hiding behind cover outside.
"Seen enough Hollywood cop-and-robber gunfights; shall we give it a whirl?"
