669: Chapter 658: Got Set Up 669: Chapter 658: Got Set Up The tranquil Rose Manor was disrupted as a helicopter slowly ascended, its rotors’ sound echoing in the air for a long time.
Standing under the helipad, Ah Yu looked up at the departing helicopter, watching it grow distant, a feeling of unease inexplicably rising in his heart.
A bright light twinkled in the sky, trailing a long tail of fire, the ball of light extremely dazzling, very noticeable even under the sun.
The long tail of fire connected with the forest, and within the radar and pilot’s line of sight, it had appeared.
“Damn, we’ve been locked on!”
The pilot, looking at the incoming Poison Sting missile, broke into a sweat on his forehead.
“This is Migratory Bird Three, we are under attack, we are under attack, repeat, we are under attack!”
The helicopter pilot yelled loudly, while the co-pilot beside him swiftly maneuvered, and with a thud, countless, a burst of light emitted from both ends of the helicopter, a pair of flares shot out in all directions, trailing smoke.
Under the pilot’s control, the helicopter made evasive maneuvers, trying to avoid the Poison Sting missile.
Boom!
A fireball erupted in the sky, the helicopter’s body shaking; although the Poison Sting missile veered off course due to the flares, the helicopter was still affected by the blast wave.
“Migratory Bird Three calling for help, Migratory Bird Three calling for help!”
The helicopter was already somewhat out of control and looked likely to crash directly into the wheat field.
Inside the manor, numerous black-clad bodyguards donned their combat suits, carrying weapons to take high ground; Ah Yu, in the courtyard, watched the swaying aircraft, his expression extremely grave.
It had all happened too fast.
It was only half an hour after Chen Fengnan had instructed them to prepare, and already the hidden enemies had struck.
As the helicopter gradually stabilized, many, including the pilot, let out a sigh of relief; but just when the pilot was about to cheer, within the forest, another bright light rose, another Poison Sting missile targeting the helicopter.
The pilot’s face darkened, and he muttered in despair, “It’s over…”
The flares had been used up, and the helicopter could not avoid the incoming Poison Sting missile.
Boom!
The helicopter was enveloped in flames before crashing down, with dark smoke rising, signaling the enemy’s assault had begun, and everyone within the manor was on high alert.
“Damn it, when did they get here?” Ah Lei ran out, climbing up to the rooftop to look at the burning wreckage in the wheat field, his face filled with rage.
They had been aware of the impending enemy attack and had been making a series of preparations for the past half hour, but still, it was too late.
The very reason the helicopter had taken off was to patrol the surroundings, the fuel tank had been filled, but this flight turned out to be its last.
There were no survivors on the entire helicopter, and in the forest around them, the enemy lurked within.
Boom, boom, boom—
Like a herd of wild horses galloping across the plains, a convoy of Humvees burst out of the forest, each topped with a sleek, gleaming Browning heavy machine gun.
Rat-a-tat-tat—
Almost simultaneously, dozens of heavy machine guns opened fire, long tongues of flame spitting from atop the Humvees, as a hail of bullets poured down on Rose Manor.
“Find cover!”
When Alei saw that group of Humvees coming out, his complexion changed, and he immediately yelled to those around him.
Bang bang bang, bullets struck the walls of the manor, like the beating of a drum.
In the underground control room, numerous precision instruments lined the space, and more than a dozen people were seated in front of computers; the moment the Humvees appeared, Alei pressed the red button in front of him.
Steel walls rose up around the manor.
In just a few seconds, Rose Manor had become a fortress, impregnable with its iron walls.
The battle was about to erupt, gunfire was incessant, just like a raging storm.
One after another, logistics staff inside the manor moved boxes of ammunition from the underground arsenal, even including shoulder-launched rockets in the mix.
Seeing the manor wrapped in steel, dozens of Humvee vehicles stopped about fifty meters away in the wheat fields, forming a long battle line.
Countless fully armed men in black dismounted, using the Humvees as cover to lay down suppressive fire on the manor.
“Who the hell are they?”
All Ayu wanted to know now was who these people were; for the moment, the manor was not in danger, and ordinary means of attack couldn’t possibly threaten them.
Taking advantage of a momentary lull by the enemy, Ayu made his way to the first line of defense, looking at the people outside, trying to discern their organization from their attire and gear.
Unfortunately, whether it was the fully-armed men in black or the Humvees, there were no obvious flags or emblems—nothing to identify them by.
For the time being, Ayu could not figure out which power these people represented.
“The visitors mean no good; our movements are completely exposed.
I’m afraid they’ve had their eye on us ever since we set foot on European soil.”
Alei, observing the long battle line formed by the Humvees, a serious look flashed in his eyes.
This incident, in Alei’s view, was definitely not some unexpected situation but rather a long-planned one.
Choosing to strike in Europe demonstrated that the group had been well-prepared and knew their whereabouts like the back of their hand.
This manor was very secluded, with no other members of the Chen Financial Conglomerate ever visiting, and it had only been established for three months.
Chen Fengnan selected this location to meet with partners, also with the thought of inviting friends over to see the beautiful manor he had crafted.
“It seems someone has long intended to deal with Mr.
Chen.
With such a display of force, do they just want to wage war?
Luckily, when we were building this place, we took this into account.”
Alei, watching more Humvees continuously emerge from the woods, sighed.
“Is this…
being besieged on all sides?” Alei sneered, seeing the grand scale of the enemy’s formation; it reminded him of expressions like ‘surrounded on all sides’ and ‘ambushed from every direction’.
“Thinking of making a move on us in Europe, these people are cautious enough,” Ayu said from the side.
If this were in Huaxia, the other side definitely would not have created such a huge scene that resembled a major battle.
Huaxia wouldn’t allow any force to act this way; the title of a ‘no-go zone for mercenaries’ wasn’t just for show.
Those powers could only engage in minor actions in Huaxia, but it was different elsewhere.
If this were in Africa, the opponent’s frenzy would be unimaginable.
“When can our support get here?”
“At the earliest, an hour from now.
But before that, I’ll ask Mr.
Chen if he wants to contact the SAS for help,” said Ayu, before turning and walking towards the study.
