Empire of Shadows

Chapter 559 Ambush [666+17]

In the early morning, a man was driving his car from home. Not long after he started, as he was about to enter the Starlight District, he suddenly saw several people wearing hard hats blocking the road.

One of them was waving a signal baton with a small red and white wooden pole and a red flag, which was very eye-catching.

"Sorry, sir, we are dealing with a problem with the sewer manhole cover, so this area is temporarily closed."

The man in the car glanced at the open sewer manhole. He shook his head slightly, "You can put the cover back on when you don't need to go in and out!"

He even made a closing gesture with his hand—the wrist of his right hand pressed on the back of his left hand, and then his right hand made a downward pressing motion, looking like a closed clamp.

However, the worker who stopped him explained with a smile, "We will soon be chiseling the ground and building a wall around it, so sorry, we can't let you pass."

The man in the car looked at the other party for a while, and after confirming that there was no room for negotiation, he sighed, "Okay, can you tell me how long you will be working?"

"Probably two days, sir."

"Two days!" The man in the car raised his voice a little. "You are making many people have to adjust their schedules because of this. That's really not good."

"But fortunately, it's only two days. I hope your speed is as fast as you say!"

As he spoke, he turned to look behind the car. At a little after six in the morning, there were already some cars on Jinguang City Avenue, but not many.

In addition, this place was obviously turning into a small construction site, so those cars slowed down when they got here.

"What's going on?"

"I should really complain about you guys for doing this on such an important day!"

Some people cursed a few words in dissatisfaction, but still turned and left.

Soon, a truck came, and workers unloaded some roadblocks and temporary fences from the truck. They also unloaded a sewer manhole cover and some construction materials.

In fact, their job was to block the two roads leading from the Bay Area to the Keane family manor.

William had many friends in City Hall. Originally, those friends were just ordinary friends, but after he became a city councilor, those friends became enthusiastic friends.

He just made a phone call, and the matter was quickly settled—

First, someone called to say that the sewer manhole covers in these two blocks always made a clanging sound at certain times, which affected their sleep, and they hoped that City Hall could replace the manhole covers in these two places.

According to the normal procedure, the operator would at most send two workers to the scene to observe.

If it did clang when cars ran over it, then they would replace it.

But if it didn't clang, at least not when they checked, then they would report the truth.

Federal society is also a society of human relationships, and now, whether it clangs or not, it will be replaced with a new manhole cover.

Replacing a manhole cover is not a simple matter. First, the asphalt around the manhole cover needs to be removed, then the manhole cover needs to be disassembled, then the new one needs to be installed, then the asphalt needs to be re-laid, and then it needs to be compacted.

Later, one or two construction machines will be piled up here, and it is normal to block the entire road.

Jinguang City is very big, and many things happen every day. No one will think that the fact that someone is working on construction in a certain place at the same time has anything to do with a conspiracy.

Including these workers themselves, they don't think they are part of a conspiracy, because they are just doing ordinary work.

Lance personally confirmed that the two roads were completely blocked before starting the operation.

At a little after seven o'clock that night, a large number of cars drove from the Empire District towards the Keane family's manor. They did not avoid anyone's gaze, as if Lance couldn't wait to stand on the Keane family's corpses and enjoy the sweetest victory!

People observing in secret immediately reported this matter. Hearing that Lance's people were already on the road, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, he dialed Bandi's phone number.

"Lance's people are already on the road. When are you coming over?"

Bandi would not come to the scene in person. He was very afraid of death.

After people have higher social status, power, and wealth, they become more afraid of death than ordinary people. "I know, I have already arranged for people to go over. You have to believe me, Feigal, we are partners!"

Feigal didn't know what to say. He remained silent for a few seconds, then sighed heavily, "I hope you don't deceive me. On this matter, I await your good news!"

With that, he hung up the phone, and then called those cadres who had already hidden outside the city, asking them to bring people back quickly and attack Lance's men from the side.

Then, he made a phone call to the Tita family, asking them to come and help no matter what, and to completely annihilate Lance's main force tonight.

The wind was a bit strong at night, whistling, and there were very few people on the street.

Whenever there was a continuous gang fight, there would be far fewer people on the street.

Without people, the dim lights and empty streets would seem depressing. The occasional flickering and incomplete neon lights made a crackling sound, as if telling someone about the loneliness at this time.

One car after another suddenly appeared at the street corner and quickly drove towards the north of the city center.

The lead car in the convoy had already driven this road in the past two days. Originally, their plan was to take another road, but that road was blocked, so this became the only road they could take to reach their destination in a short time.

These cars were very fast, whizzing past the alley entrance. A few wild cats hiding in the shadows of the alley entrance were frightened by them and hid in the sewer, not daring to come out.

Some intense gunfire suddenly came from the sky above the city in the distance. Shi Dong, who was sitting in the lead car, looked a little serious, "They have already started fighting. We need to speed up."

The driver nodded and pressed the accelerator even lower. The car body obviously shook slightly, but the speed did increase.

He sat in the back seat smoking a cigarette. After defeating Lance's main force this time, they would infiltrate the port area and try to take over the port area.

During this period, Bandi was also discussing another issue with Gaoli. They planned to divide the Koda family into two.

One part would be led by Bandi, which is the part he has laundered.

The other part would be led by Gaoli, which is the gray part, but unlike now, they would re-establish the business and model of the gang.

In the past, no one would challenge them, and they were not afraid of challenges, but with the collapse of the five major families, people lost their due respect.

If they maintained the status quo, the entire family would fall into a passive position like now.

They actually had the ability to solve the problem from the beginning, but it was just because it was inconvenient to take action that small troubles turned into big troubles.

This time, Bandi made up his mind to split the family. Although his power might be affected, as long as the family became stronger, he was willing to accept this influence.

As soon as he thought that he was about to become the number two figure in the Koda family's gang forces, a smile appeared on Shi Dong's face.

No matter how much he admired Fleming, respected him, and respected Bandi, he could not be the true heir of the Koda family.

But now, he was the true heir, although he could only inherit half.

Thinking of this, his eyes were full of joy. He felt that Lance was a good person, because all of this started because of Lance!

He couldn't wait to see Lance. He leaned back in the back seat, crossed his legs, and used his toes to lift the back of the driver's seat, "Faster."

The speed of the vehicle increased a little, and the vehicles behind would naturally follow closely and accelerate.

But what they didn't know was that a few tire-bursting devices were waiting for them five hundred meters away.

The tire-bursting device shouldn't have appeared at this time, but it was not complicated in itself. While Lance asked Lawyer Robben to register the patent, he asked the gunsmith to make a few.

It wasn't complicated. As long as there were suitable materials, a large pile could be made quickly.

The dark gray tire-bursting device was invisible on the road at night. Even with headlights, it might not be visible, let alone that their attention might not be on the road now.

As the distance got closer and closer, the surroundings became quieter and quieter.

When two headlights appeared at the street corner, the people hiding around breathed a sigh of relief.

The distance of five hundred meters was actually just a blink of an eye for a car that was already very fast.

Shi Dong was still smoking a cigarette and thinking about what to do next when suddenly he felt a force forcing him to panicked grab the back of the front seat to resist the force being applied to him!

He even squinted his eyes!

The car that had its tires blown out instantly lost control. Losing control on the street could only result in crashing into the storefront on the side of the road.

With a loud noise, the vehicle crashed into the window of a store on the side of the road.

The cars following it also suffered, and the four cars behind that couldn't brake in time also lost control and crashed into the side of the road.

At this time, the cars behind barely managed to brake and did not repeat the same mistake.

One by one, people with bloodied heads fell out of the cars on the side of the road. The violent impact also damaged their sense of balance, and they looked at the road in a daze.

"There's something here!"

Someone spotted the tire spikes laid out on the road. When Shi Dong's henchman, supporting another man's arm, looked at the tire spikes, he jolted as if struck by lightning!

There's an ambush!

This definitely wasn't the result of some brat carelessly tossing something aside; this was a trap!

Before he could rush to Shi Dong's side, intense gunfire erupted all around. They were ambushed!
