Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 1784 - 1785: The Tense Assassination Incident
The next day at noon, after hosting a state official, Ailock was sitting in his car heading towards his residence.
Ahead, police cars paved the way, and escort cars surrounded Ailockโs car in the middle. ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ท๐๐ซ๐๐ก.๐๐ธ๐ถ
In the car, Ailock was contemplating Xiang Yuโs words: if Rolaff truly was part of the rebel forces, perhaps he should confront him.
After all, Rolaff already held a national leadership position; could he really be aiming to overthrow him?
"Boom!"
Just as Ailock was lost in thought, a sudden explosion outside shook the entire car.
Unaware, Ailockโs head struck the glass directly.
"Protect the leader!" shouted someone outside.
Ailock nearly passed out from the hit but shook his head and peered outside as his guards were already positioned around him.
Sporadic gunfire echoed from the surroundings.
Bullets struck Ailockโs vehicle, emitting a piercing sound of metal collision.
Ailockโs car was specially modified, impervious to ordinary bullets.
"Assassin spotted, call for support."
"Squad one, move in."
Chaos erupted outside, leaving Ailock uneasy as he nervously watched outside.
But it was clear staying inside the car was safest.
"Rocket launcher, take him down quickly."
Someone suddenly screamed, pointing to a distant building where a man aimed a rocket towards them.
"Shoot, take him down," ordered Ailock.
The guards opened fire at the building far away, hitting the man on top, causing him to fall backwards.
The rocket fired off into the sky.
Ailock witnessed the scene from within the car, breaking into a cold sweat.
Although his car was bulletproof, the rocketโs power was too greatโif it hit the car, it could mean his end.
After the rocket threat was eliminated, a tense silence fell over the area as everyone scanned the surroundings.
No one could afford to be careless now, for Ailockโs safety was at stake.
Ailock was an important figure; if assassinated, their country would plunge into chaos instantly.
Political parties might seize the opportunity for power battles, and rebels could use the chance to attack.
The guard detail surrounded Ailockโs car for a whole ten minutes until his rescue team arrived, alleviating their nerves slightly.
Above, several helicopters hovered, vigilantly monitoring the area.
Three armored vehicles arrived, escorting Ailock into one before departing.
Inside the armored vehicle, Ailock finally exhaled, drenched in sweat.
Meanwhile, Rolaff paced his office nervously.
"Who ordered this action? Damn it, weโre not ready yet!" shouted Rolaff.
His secretary received a call, exchanged a few words, and hung up.
Approaching Rolaff, the secretary whispered, "Sir, latest updates indicate it wasnโt our people behind this assassination."
"What?" cried Rolaff.
Indeed, Rolaff intended to assassinate Ailock, having planned meticulously for the opportunity.
Once his military position stabilized, then it was time to eliminate Ailock, but the timing wasnโt ripe yet.
"If it wasnโt us, then who was it?" Rolaff calmed down abruptly.
With Ailock being a key figure, there were likely many desiring his demise, but openly attempting like this was rare.
"Tell them to watch the situation closely and report immediately if anything arises," Rolaff ordered anxiously.
The secretary, witnessing his bossโs rare demeanor, nodded quickly and went aside to make a call.
Across the city, police and troops relentlessly searched; some interrogated people, while others reviewed surveillance tapes.
The city was enveloped in a tense atmosphere.
In the outskirts, a business car parked by the roadside.
Wu Jing and Xiao Xuan sat inside, nervously glancing behind.
"Why isnโt Zhuzi back yet?" Wu Jing spoke worriedly.
"I saw him leave first; logically, he should have arrived by now," replied Xiao Xuan, frowning.
As they waited tensely, an SUV sped their way.
"Here he comes," Xiao Xuan spotted Tie Zhuziโs vehicle.
Tie Zhuzi pulled up beside their car and excitedly jumped into Wu Jingโs car.
"Why are you so late?" Wu Jing asked, unable to resist glancing back.
"Donโt worry, no one followed. The car was slow, hence the delay," Tie Zhuzi chuckled.
Wu Jing and Xiao Xuan exchanged looks and helplessly shook their heads.
Familiar with Tie Zhuzi, they knew exactly what he was up to.
As Tie Zhuzi joined them, they smelled perfume on him, confirming their suspicions.
"Blow up the car, letโs go," Wu Jing said.
Tie Zhuzi nodded, jumped into the SUV, started it up, turned it around, and then returned to Wu Jingโs car.
After driving a few hundred meters, the SUV exploded.
The trio left leisurely.
In Ailockโs secret room, Xiang Yu lay asleep, awakened by noises outside.
Ailock entered, looking utterly frustrated and inexplicably angry.
"Chief, what happened?" Xiang Yu asked quickly, standing up.
Ailock didnโt conceal, recounting the incident.
"Did they capture the assassin?" Xiang Yu inquired.
Ailock sighed and shook his head, "The situation was chaotic; there was no time to catch anyone."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Who do you think orchestrated this, Chief?"
Ailock shook his head, then glanced at Xiang Yu, "Do you suspect Rolaff?"
Xiang Yu chuckled, "I didnโt say that, but whether or not, you could personally call him and ask?"
"Meaning?" Ailock inquired.
After speaking, Ailock understood and nodded, "Let me ponder this further."
They exchanged idle chatter before Ailock departed.
Back in his office, Ailock paced before suddenly saying, "Someone, bring Rolaff to me. Tell him we have matters to discuss."
The secretary overheard and promptly grabbed the phone.
Meanwhile, Rolaff sipped tea in his office, keeping a close eye on the aftermath of the assassination attempt.
His secretary approached, "Chief, Number One requests to see you."
