Tie Tou did not dare to be negligent at this moment. He quickly contacted all his subordinates whom he could reach and ordered them to find out the movements of the Chen Long family as quickly as possible.
Time passed quickly, and ten minutes went by in a flash. Fortunately, Tie Tou had not wasted the money he had spent on these people. There were one or two capable individuals among them. In the last five seconds of the ten minutes, after categorizing and summarizing the movements of the Chen Long family, they transmitted the information to Tie Tou.
"Your Majesty, I've found out. The movements of the Chen Long family are all here."
Taking the fax document from Tie Tou, Bai Qi began to read.
Coincidentally, two days ago, Chen Long received an invitation from an academy to travel to a castle in Europe for archaeological research. The plane had just landed at this time. Even if he took a taxi home, it would take at least half an hour. As for his father, he had been invited by Nick Fury to help train the unruly qi masters in S.H.I.E.L.D. Currently, only Xiao Yu and Telu were guarding the antique shop. This was a godsend opportunity for Bai Qi.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? Should we attack the antique shop directly?"
Seeing Bai Qi put down the fax, Tie Tou immediately stepped forward and said, with an air of having dedicated himself to Bai Qi's cause.
Bai Qi glanced disdainfully at Tie Tou and said, "No, you and your useless subordinates are no match for her. I will handle it myself. As for you, I want you to gather all your forces and intercept Chen Long with all your might to prevent him from returning to the antique shop."
Hearing Bai Qi's words, Tie Tou quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will surely capture Chen Long bound hand and foot and present him to you."
Looking at Tie Tou's arrogant demeanor, Bai Qi thought to himself, "With those rotten tomatoes and stinky bird eggs you call subordinates, you think you can capture Chen Long?"
However, on the surface, Bai Qi encouraged him by saying, "Very good. But I don't want to hear just empty promises. So, get moving immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As Tie Tou made call after call, the entire underworld of New York City was mobilized.
At this time, Chen Long had just finished his archaeological research and disembarked from the plane with two teachers from the academy.
The three of them collected their checked luggage and walked out of the airport to the parking lot. The blonde male teacher looked at Chen Long, who was preparing to take a taxi home, and patted his shoulder, saying, "Professor Chen, let me give you a ride home. Look, my car is parked right there."
He gestured towards an expensive luxury car parked in the lot. To be honest, Chen Long had seen many good cars in his life, but he had never ridden in one. However, out of politeness, Chen Long still declined, saying, "No need. It would be too much trouble for you. I'll just take a taxi back."
"Don't be like that."
As soon as Chen Long finished speaking, the female teacher next to him grabbed his arm and said, "Professor Chen, there are a few aspects of the castle that I don't quite understand. It would be good to discuss them on the way."
"Yes, Professor Chen, please don't refuse."
Seeing their sincere invitations, Chen Long awkwardly scratched the back of his head and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble. Wait here, I'll go get the car."
Just as the male teacher walked to the luxury car and reached for the door handle.
Boom!
A huge explosion sounded, and then the male teacher's luxury car flew five or six meters into the air amidst the soaring flames. The unlucky male teacher was swallowed by the explosion, dying an inescapable death.
Such a massive explosion naturally attracted the attention of Chen Long and the remaining female teacher.
"Oh! My god! Billy! No!"
It was evident that the female teacher and the unfortunate male teacher had an unusual relationship. Seeing him engulfed by the explosion, her eyes turned red, and she rushed towards him disregarding everything. Fortunately, Chen Long reacted quickly and pulled the female teacher back. After all, at this level of explosion, anyone standing nearby was bound to die, and who knew if there would be a secondary explosion.
As expected, twenty seconds after the first explosion, the luxury car, engulfed in flames, suffered a secondary explosion. Fortunately, the two of them had not gotten close, or they would have certainly died.
"What on earth is going on? Did Bill owe anyone anything?"
The two consecutive explosions were clearly aimed at killing Bill, and the second explosion even intended to take everyone around him with him. The method was vicious and outrageous.
"No, Bill was a good person. He was known as a kind and honest person both in school and in his personal life. He never made enemies."
Chen Long frowned, took out his phone, and dialed 911, saying, "Regardless of anything, let's call the police first and let them handle this."
"Hello, this is 911. How can I help you?"
"Hello, we are at the New York Airport. Here..."
Just as Chen Long was about to report the situation to the police, a bullet shot towards him, hitting his phone by chance.
Having spent some time in S.H.I.E.L.D. and Sector 13, Chen Long was at least experienced, if not battle-hardened. Upon being shot at, his body reacted before his mind could even process it. He pulled the female teacher behind a car for cover.
Then, five armed thugs emerged from the direction the bullet came from. Without a word, they opened fire on the car the two were hiding behind, closing in on them while shooting.
The intense gunfire made it impossible for them to raise their heads.
The female teacher had only recently immigrated to America and had never witnessed such a scene. Five fully armed thugs, showing no regard for public order, were attacking them with firearms in broad daylight.
Under the barrage of intense fire, the female teacher could no longer bear it. She broke free from Chen Long's grasp and ran backward without looking back.
If she hadn't run, relying on the car for cover might not have led to her death. But now, her entire upper body was exposed to the five thugs, and she was shot numerous times by the bullets from behind.
These five thugs were Tie Tou's subordinates. Their target was very clear: to kill Chen Long. Whether it was bombing the male teacher's car or shooting the female teacher, it was all secondary.
They had initially intended to detonate the luxury car and kill Chen Long, but surprisingly, Chen Long did not follow up. Then, they thought Chen Long would approach out of curiosity, so they prepared a secondary explosion. But who would have thought that Chen Long would be so sharp and not fall for their trap.
Unable to do anything, the repeated failures made the five men lose their patience, and they resorted to shooting Chen Long in broad daylight.
Just as they were getting closer to the car where Chen Long was hiding, a few discordant gunshots came from another direction. One of the thugs fell to the ground.
