My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1186 - 1087: Phantom Strikes! Borrowing the Tiger’s Might!
The night was deep.
The lights of the Wu Family courtyard in Genlong Village stood out conspicuously in the dark.
But getting close was too dangerous.
A few hundred meters away in a straight line lay Genlong Village’s desolate hills.
Overgrown with weeds and abundant in trees, it was an ideal spot for hiding.
In the darkness.
Two agents with Asian heritage, indistinguishable from the locals, clad in camouflage gear and equipped with professional espionage devices, were lurking right there.
The Star Federation was a diverse nation, with people of various skin colors and ethnic races making up its population.
More than a hundred years ago, a large number of Chinese laborers went there to build the Pacific Railway, and even more immigrants from Dongzhou Continent and Nanhui Continent went to seek their fortunes, on top of the indigenous population...
So, the Star Federation had no shortage of ’New Continent’ people with yellow skin and black eyes.
The intelligence agencies of the Star Federation were well aware of this.
It would draw too much attention if they sent golden-haired, blue-eyed Westerners to carry out spy missions in the New Continent.
Especially inland, where foreigners were rare to see, not to mention carrying out missions, but being the center of attention wherever they went.
Therefore, the intelligence bureau of the New Continent in the Star Federation was entirely staffed with people of Asian descent.
The intelligence departments focusing on different countries mainly employed descendants of immigrants from those countries, the more ordinary their appearance the better, faces that wouldn’t stand out in the crowd, blending seamlessly while walking down the streets.
For example, agents sent to a particular country were naturally the descendants of immigrants from that country who had settled in the Star Federation, ensuring perfect integration in terms of appearance, culture, traditions, and so on.
Today.
The two agents hidden in these hills had ancestors from the southeastern coast, who went to build railways and dig for gold, settling there and continuing their lineage.
In their generation, they had little sense of belonging, and their thoughts had long since changed, especially after specialized brainwashing training, they were even more devotedly loyal to the Star Federation.
People like them were abundant in the military forces of the Star Federation, serving in campaigns to the south and north with outstanding military achievements, with many holding not insignificant positions.
And tonight.
Their mission was to keep a close watch and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Wu Jie.
A Kill Order was not to be taken lightly.
The last time a Kill Order was issued was against Ladan who orchestrated a plane crash into a building, resulting in a horrific loss of life.
After years of relentless efforts, even with various extremist armed forces offering protection, Ladan was eventually taken out.
As for Wu Jie...
His death was inevitable; it was just a matter of sooner or later, but of course, not tonight.
After careful observation, the agents realised that the Wu Family courtyard was easy to defend but hard to assault.
High walls, tight security.
Even without the guards of Old Mr. Tang, dealing with the highly alert Dugao Dog ’Da Huang’ was no easy feat.
But the two were not impatient; it took a full ten years to take out the notorious terrorist leader Ladan.
The Kill Order for Wu Jie had been issued for less than a day; what was there to rush?
Moreover, compared to Ladan, Wu Jie was evidently easier to deal with.
Because Ladan had unpredictable movements, resided in regions with treacherous terrain, sparse population, and could simply hide in any cave, making it difficult to find him, not to mention his numerous subordinates and a multitude of hidden bases.
In contrast.
What about Wu Jie?
He only had two residences, the Tianyuan Haoting Community, and his old home in Genlong Village.
The places he often frequented were nothing but the headquarters and major subsidiaries of Tanglong Industrial Group, recently mostly in the Science Research City.
His movements were more controllable, which significantly reduced the difficulty factor in taking him out.
The only thing to wait for was the right moment.
Getting close was very difficult; the only option was to find a way to make a long-range shot.
But Wu Jie and Tang Xiao were picked up by the security bureau’s motorcade when they returned home in the afternoon.
From getting out of the car to entering the courtyard, they were constantly under guard, making it impossible for accurate long-range sniping.
And their house had many rooms, and was fitted with especially thick bulletproof glass for privacy, as well as infrared radiation protection.
Thus, the two had no hope of making a precise kill shot at Wu Jie from several hundred meters away.
How could they snipe when they didn’t even know which room he was in?
Of course.
Lying in ambush and keeping watch here was not without gains.
At the very least, they could report back to headquarters that Wu Jie and his wife were at the old home.
"Damn it, if only we could precision bomb this place!"
"Exactly, just this building alone, a hundred-pound bomb would flatten it!"
"Too bad, who dares to send a stealth bomber, penetrate deep inland to bomb this place? That would definitely provoke a war between two countries!"
"Sigh, let’s just take turns resting! They are definitely not going out tonight!"
...
As the two were muttering in secret.
Suddenly a ding-ding sound rang out.
It was an alarm!
Of course, while in hiding, the agents naturally had laid out defensive alarm devices around.
Actually, it was just digging some traps and hanging bells on tripwires.
They dared not use landmines; if it were wild chickens, hares, wild boars, and the like setting them off, causing an explosion, wouldn’t that blow their cover?
Upon hearing the sound, both agents immediately drew their silenced pistols.
Although silencers don’t completely eliminate noise, in these wild hills and ridges, they could significantly reduce the sound of gunfire, lowering the risk of exposure.
In addition, both were equipped with night-vision goggles.
Even in the darkness, they were not utterly blind.
However...
The two stood up, crouching, back to back, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.
"Eh, there’s nothing there! Was it just the wind just now?"
"The heck with the wind! I think it was a hare!"
No sooner had the voice fallen than a rustling sound was heard.
There were sounds, but no sign of any people or animals.
The two immediately fired in the direction of the noise.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
Both shot three times, using a spread fire method, with a significant gap between each shot.
