Chapter 144: There's a mole, the deal is terminated (4K)

"Fuck! Who just fired that shot?!"

Both the LAPD and the FBI made ample preparations for this operation and deployed snipers.

So when the fast food restaurant window was smashed from the outside, Bradford instinctively assumed that one of their men had fired the shot.

After questioning them, it was discovered that neither the LADP nor the FBI snipers had fired their weapons.

"Bastards! Who else could it be but you?"

Bradford initially thought someone was lying, but by then Sean had already noticed something was amiss by observing the situation inside the fast food restaurant.

"No, it might be a sniper that Adams himself arranged!"

"What?"

As Bradford was still in surprise, he heard police sirens coming from afar.

The siren sounded so familiar; Bradford had heard it countless times.

"What the hell! Who's blaring the sirens again?!"

Jane listened intently for a few seconds and also noticed something was wrong.

"Officer Bradford, the sirens seem to be coming from a distance, and it doesn't sound like one of your men!"

The people in Bradford had already laid an ambush. Even if they were to sound sirens, the sound would be very close, not coming from a distance.

Bradford, realizing what was happening, stared wide-eyed at Sean and Jane.

"Whose person could that be?"

This question left Sean speechless.

"Bradford, you actually asked me?"

The answer was soon revealed.

Colin Sullivan stepped out of the police car with a triumphant air, holding a megaphone in his hand.

Adams had already retreated back into the fast food restaurant; the police cars arrived too quickly for him to get into his own car and escape.

If you try to escape on foot, the fast food restaurant is on a suburban highway, surrounded by only a few bungalows, with nowhere to hide.

It was safer to go back to the fast food restaurant, since Adams didn't even have a gun or any contraband, so it wouldn't matter if the police caught him.

"Listen up, you inside! You are surrounded by the LAPD! Drop your weapons immediately!"

With another muffled thud, the megaphone in Colin's hand was blown to pieces.

This situation terrified the LAPD officers who had just arrived; they hadn't expected the perpetrators to be so brazen.

"Hide! Hide!"

Colin quickly used the police car as cover; if the sniper could blow out the megaphone in his hand, he could also blow out his head.

Bradford punched the wall; he and Sean were actually hiding in a bungalow near the fast food restaurant.

If Adams had run this way just now, it would have been like walking into a trap.

"We can't wait any longer! Agent Arthur, I'm ready to enter!"

Sean nodded, without refusing.

"Jane, you'll be working with Officer Bradford."

"Sir, what about you?"

"I need to find that sniper first!"

"Sir, it's so dark around us, it's extremely dangerous!"

"We must search for the danger; we can't let that sniper hide in the shadows! Let our snipers find this guy first!"

Just then, Jane's phone rang.

"Jane, it's me."

Jane recognized Rosen's voice immediately.

"Is there something you need?"

"Are you looking for a sniper?"

"Did you spot the sniper?"

"Yes, on the GG sign at the intersection 300 meters away, there was a damn black guy. It took me ages to find him."

Jane's expression immediately turned strange.

Although Rosen's words were racially discriminatory, they also revealed that he had indeed gone to great lengths to find the sniper.

Some Black people, when dressed in black, are completely invisible in low light.

Unless you open your mouth, you will see two rows of big white teeth floating in the air.

Jane told Sean about it, and Sean immediately took Jane's phone and questioned Rosen directly.

"Is there any way to deal with that sniper?"

"No way! There's no cover within 100 meters of that 'GG' sign. He'll spot me the moment I peek out!"

"Okay, I'll have FBI and LAPD snipers distract the sniper, and you figure out how to take him out, okay?"

Sean was clearly very wary of this sniper, and went so far as to transfer snipers from the FBI and LAPD to eliminate this mysterious sniper first.

Come to think of it, someone who can accurately hit an arm and a megaphone from 300 meters away is definitely not an ordinary sniper.

While not as dramatic as Swifa's previous 500-meter sniper shot that hit a pistol, it wasn't far off.

Moreover, this sniper might be able to do something similar to Svefa, but there are only a few suitable sniping spots nearby.

The GG sign was in the most concealed spot; if Rosen hadn't been wearing hostile sunglasses, it's hard to say whether he would have been able to see the guy at all.

However, while the hostile sunglasses allowed him to see people, they further impaired Rosen's vision at night, causing him to nearly trip several times.

How many snipers do you have?

"Six, there are six police sniper rifles in total."

"Okay! I can give it a try!"

Please!

After hanging up the phone, Sean looked up at Bradford.

"The sniper has been dealt with; we're moving in immediately!"

At this point, the fast food restaurant was in complete chaos.

"Fuck! What are the LAPD members doing here? There must be an undercover agent who leaked information!"

Frank spoke first, delivering a perfect "villain accusing first" speech to clear himself of suspicion.

Upon hearing this, the gang members present all began to doubt the people around them.

"Jace, did you do this?!"

"I think it's you!"

"Fuck! Who leaked this information?"

Adams couldn't help but shout at them.

"Enough! You're still arguing at a time like this, why don't you just put your hands up and surrender to the police!"

The dozens of gang members present all fell silent.

"I think most of you here have some criminal record, so in a situation like this, you should unite and work together to find a way to break out! Or do you want to surrender?"

Oscar immediately agreed with Adams.

"Mr. Byrne is right! Let's figure out how to get out of the police's encirclement first, and we'll deal with anything else later!"

However, some people have raised questions.

"But we're already surrounded, where can we run to?"

Frank immediately offered a suggestion.

"We can create chaos, then break out in different directions simultaneously. Whether we get out or not is up to fate!"

These words tempted the other gang members. There were nearly a hundred gang members present, and if they broke through together, they might be able to escape with more than half of them.

Oscar nodded.

"Alright! Let's start the countdown, then rush out together!"

The gang members inside the fast food restaurant were unaware of the changes happening outside, but even if they had known, they would still have to take the plunge.

"Colin Sullivan? What are you doing here?"

After Bradford and his men entered the stadium, he immediately noticed that the police officer leading the group was Colin.

Colin is one of the fastest-rising police stars in the LAPD in recent years and has a considerable reputation within the department.

Colin’s pupils dilated dramatically when he saw Bradford and Sean.

"That's what I wanted to ask you too!"

The guy was hiding behind the police car door, talking to Bradford while simultaneously reaching into his pocket to blindly send messages on his phone.

"We received intelligence from an undercover agent, so we launched a joint operation to arrest the Byrne gang members. What about you?"

"I also received a report that someone saw an illegal assembly here, so I brought people over to investigate!"

This explanation made Bradford suspicious; he felt things couldn't be that simple.

However, in front of a large audience, Bradford couldn't very well refute his own people in front of the FBI.

Just then, the lights in the fast food restaurant suddenly went out.

Sean immediately realized something was wrong.

"Oh no! They're definitely trying to break out! Everyone be careful!"

Sean and Bradford's men had just entered the area and hadn't even completed the encirclement, but the people inside the fast food restaurant had already rushed out.

The gang didn't fire their guns; they just split up and rushed out.

As long as gang members don't draw their guns, it's inconvenient for the LAPD and FBI to fire.

Without firing their guns, the LAPD and FBI can only use a small number of stun guns and close combat to deal with these gang members, making it less likely that they can catch them.

What's more, there were snipers firing from a distance.

Snipers in the distance shattered the lights of several police cars, severely disrupting the operations of the LAPD and FBI.

"Ignore the sniper, turn on the searchlights!"

Sean ordered the prepared spotlights to be turned on, instantly illuminating the area around the fast food restaurant as if it were daytime.

The gang members who had just escaped were all blinded by the dazzling light.

The surrounding area was filled with blinding white light, making it impossible to see anything, let alone escape.

The LAPD and FBI immediately swarmed in and began arresting people, easily capturing the gang members who had tried to break through.

This situation caused Colin's face to darken.

However, after careful observation, Billy discovered that Frank was not among the arrested gang members.

Sean noticed this as well.

"Why are they all just low-level thugs? Where are Adams Byrne, Frank Castro, and Oscar Kyle?"

It's clear that these key figures are still in the fast food restaurant.

Jane looked at the dark, empty fast food restaurant with some worry.

"Sir, could they be planning to ambush us?"

Sean remained remarkably calm.

"They wouldn't do something so stupid unless they're insane! Let the SWAT team handle it!"

After all, the crimes of illegal assembly and illegal possession of firearms are not the same as assaulting a police officer, so none of the gang members who rushed out dared to fire a shot.

On the one hand, they were afraid that the police would empty their magazines, and on the other hand, they didn't want to be charged with assaulting a police officer.

Fully armed SWAT team members were ready and entered the fast food restaurant from all directions at Sean's command.

A few minutes later, news came from inside that shocked Sean and Bradford.

"Sir, there's no one inside!"

"This is impossible! I clearly saw those guys enter the fast food restaurant, and we surrounded them completely. How could they not be here? Can they teleport?"

Bradford punched the roof of the police car.

Everyone looked extremely uncomfortable, except for Colin, who quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Jane thought of a possibility.

"Sir, could there be a secret passage in this restaurant?"

Sean was suddenly startled; it seemed that such a possibility really existed!

Meanwhile, the sniper battle has reached a fever pitch.

Although the silencers made the battle less noticeable, it was still much more exciting than the fight at the fast food restaurant.

The mysterious sniper on the GG sign was locked onto by FBI and LAPD snipers after firing several shots.

The two sides began a long-range exchange of blows, with Rosen lying on the ground like a war correspondent, observing the situation and looking for an opportunity to strike.

Surprisingly, the mysterious sniper won against six other guns with only one gun.

If Jane hadn't sent Rosen a message about this, he wouldn't have believed that all six snipers from the FBI and LAPD had been wiped out.

Fortunately, there were no fatalities; most of the casualties were shoulder injuries that rendered them unable to continue fighting.

This shows that the mysterious sniper was not only an excellent marksman, but also very restrained, showing no intention of killing anyone from beginning to end.

Rosen could only continue to lie on the roadside and observe, not daring to show his face.

Fortunately, after lying prone for a short while, the mysterious sniper on the GG sign came down, seemingly preparing to evacuate.

And coincidentally, the direction this guy retreated from was exactly in Rosen's direction.

In the darkness, Rosen used the arc of light he saw through his hostile sunglasses to pinpoint the mysterious sniper's location.

When the mysterious sniper entered the attack range, Rosen suddenly pulled out a Taser and launched an attack.

The Taser fired two electrodes that hit the mysterious sniper's body, but the sniper reacted very quickly, tearing off the wires at top speed, preventing the electric shock from lasting long.

Moreover, the guy's clothes were quite thick, which limited the effect of the electric shock.

Well, Tasers aren't foolproof. When the target is wearing thick clothing or the electrodes are hooked onto insulating materials, the electric shock effect is greatly reduced or even nonexistent.

However, the Taser in Rosen's hand still had some effect, causing the mysterious sniper's body to be temporarily paralyzed.

Rosen quickly pulled out his G18 and aimed it at the mysterious sniper.

"Don't move! Put the gun down and let me see your hands!"

Because of his paralysis, the mysterious sniper had missed the best opportunity to counterattack and could only obediently listen to Rosen, dropping the sniper rifle he was holding to the ground.

"How long have you been hiding here?"

"You don't need to know!"

Rosen cautiously approached the mysterious sniper. He noticed that the man was wearing night vision goggles, a piece of equipment that not everyone could possess.

This made Rosen realize that he might have caught a big fish.

Although this big fish is certainly not as famous as Adams Byrne in the public eye.

However, this mysterious sniper was extremely valuable to the FBI.

As a result, Rosen became even more cautious.

After getting behind the mysterious sniper and making himself invisible, Rosen began searching him.

After confiscating two pistols and two knives from the mysterious sniper, no identification was found.

Rosen took out a rope, preparing to tie the other person up.

Just then, Rosen felt a pricking sensation and instinctively crouched down.

The next second, a bullet flew past the spot where Rosen had just been standing.

There's another sniper?
