Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: The Abused Grant Ward

Grant had memorized the information of all the security guards in the community in advance, but Li Chuan's subordinates were equally capable; they had also memorized the information of all residents in the community before taking up their posts as security guards today.

Any stranger entering the community would be under close surveillance by Li Chuan's subordinates, especially those entering at night or approaching Li Chuan's room.

Even if a delivery person stood at the door of Li Chuan's house during the day, there would be at least three or more sniper rifles aimed at his head from different angles.

Upon seeing a car not listed in the community's resident data appear at the community entrance, the two security guards immediately became vigilant, feigning sleep while secretly observing the car owner and the vehicle.

"Received. Team One, proceed to the parking lot for tracking and surveillance. Sniper Number Two, prepare!"

Hearing the reminder from the walkie-talkie, Li San quickly located the Chevrolet, which was about to arrive at the parking lot, through the entire community's surveillance system.

Entering the community at this hour, and not being a permanent resident, was very suspicious.

"Should we inform the boss?"

A subordinate beside him asked.

Li San shook his head:

"Not yet. We haven't confirmed if he's an enemy. It could also be a friend or relative of a resident in the community who has come to visit."

After speaking, he thought for a moment and then pressed the walkie-talkie:

"Team One, attention: if the target's objective is Building Eight, where the boss lives, then take him down and interrogate him in advance."

Regarding the boss's safety, his philosophy was to rather kill the wrong person than let an enemy go. Once the other party intended to enter Building Eight, where the boss lived, it could pose a threat to the boss's safety.

At that point, regardless of whether he was a relative or friend of a community resident, he should be taken down first.

If a subsequent investigation proved it was a mistake, they would simply apologize and offer more money.

"Teams Two and Three, be ready for support at all times. Sniper Number Two, if the enemy resists fiercely, shoot to kill immediately."

"Received!"

Crisp replies came through the walkie-talkie.

At this moment, Grant, who had just parked his car and was pulling a large box out of it, suddenly felt his hair stand on end, and a very ominous feeling surged within him.

Years of Agent infiltration experience told him that he was already being monitored, and possibly even targeted by a sniper.

"This Li Chuan is definitely not simple!"

Grant's body merely paused for a moment before he continued walking as if nothing had happened, showing no abnormalities whatsoever on his exterior. His acting could be described as Shadow Emperor level.

By now, he fully understood that the two security guards he had just seen were definitely Li Chuan's bodyguards in disguise, and the people secretly monitoring and aiming at him now must also be Li Chuan's bodyguards.

Such strict and cautious protection was rare, even among the World's top billionaires.

"Good thing I also came prepared."

As a top Agent who always perfectly completed his missions, Grant's mind was also extremely meticulous.

After sensing the anomaly, he did not go to the building where Li Chuan lived, but instead went to the building next door to Li Chuan's, took the elevator to the top floor, took out a key, opened the door, and walked into a room.

This was the apartment of a single career woman who lived alone, was quite open-minded, and enjoyed going to bars to party. She often brought men back for relations. Today, as soon as she got off work, she was secretly knocked out by Grant, who took her keys.

However, he knew that he had to act quickly; if the other party was cautious enough, they would soon discover the problem.

"Brother San, he entered Building Nine, twenty-fifth floor, Lei Di Li Galia's apartment."

Hearing the report from the walkie-talkie, Li San frowned, quickly recalled Lei Di Li's information in his mind, and then couldn't help but murmur:

"Could it be someone Lei Di Li had relations with coming to find her tonight?"

After thinking for a moment, he instructed the subordinate next to him:

"Quick, pull up a full day's surveillance footage for me. See if Lei Di Li has returned since she left this morning."

"It will take two minutes."

The subordinate entered Lei Di Li's facial data into the computer, then imported a day's worth of community surveillance footage, and quickly scanned it using the intelligent system.

If it relied on humans to watch, even with fast-forward, it would take several hours to watch a full day of surveillance. However, Li Chuan knew the power of technology deeply and equipped his bodyguard team with the most expensive and advanced equipment.

Approximately two minutes later, the subordinate reported:

"Lei Di Li left the community at 8:30 AM and has not returned since."

"Not good! Team One, immediately enter the house and apprehend the target. Teams Two and Three, go upstairs for support, try to capture him alive. All snipers, prepare! If the target enters the cordon, shoot to kill immediately!"

Today was Monday. Lei Di Li usually went to bars to party from Friday to Sunday. Moreover, even if she went out to party, it was not normal for this man to come over when she wasn't here.

With so many suspicious points, there was no need to consider anything further.

However, to prevent unnecessary trouble caused by gunshots, it was best not to use guns unless the situation was particularly dangerous; this was something the boss had specifically instructed in advance.

Because Li Chuan felt that if a gun was used and the matter escalated, it would affect Wanda's normal life.

Of course, if the opponent had already entered the cordon and began to pose a threat to Wanda's safety, then there was no need to worry so much; simply shoot to kill.

"So fast? Looks like I need to retreat for now!"

Grant, who had just changed into a night suit and was about to use a grappling gun to hook onto Building Eight opposite, then quietly slide over to abduct Li Chuan, heard the sound of the door being rammed open and sighed inwardly.

He thought the other party would take at least half an hour to react, but it had only been two minutes.

Even if he were to go and tie up the target now, it would be impossible to take him out of the community under such tight protection. He could only retreat for now and act another time.

He redirected the grappling gun, shooting it towards the building on the left, closer to the outside of the community. After securing it, he turned to face the two community security guards who had already broken through the door.

He had to deal with these two security guards to make a safe escape; otherwise, if the line was cut halfway through sliding, he would be laughed to death.

With his skill, he could take down these two guys in two seconds.

"F***, these two grunts are so good!"

Grant clutched his bruised eye, bent over, and took a while to recover before putting on his tool bag and sliding down the rope.

He did take down the two security guards, but it wasn't in two seconds; it took thirty seconds. He was also afraid of reinforcements coming up from behind, so he gritted his teeth, endured several blows, and barely managed to take them down using skill.

In his judgment, the combat abilities of these two security guards were considered excellent even among S.H.I.E.L.D.'s professional action specialists, and among mercenaries and bodyguards outside, they were the elite of the elite.

Sliding to the adjacent building and landing on the balcony, he quickly took out a fast-descent device from his backpack and set it up. In less than ten seconds, he had already descended to the ground floor and turned to run towards the community wall.

Outside that wall was a street, and a car he had prepared for his retreat was parked by the roadside.

However, when he reached the wall, he found a man as strong as a bear, dressed in a security guard uniform, already standing there.
