Chapter 009: The hotel is attacked
At half past four in the afternoon, Yang Fan and his entourage arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Istanbul.
Zeid's room is one of the suites on the 16th floor, and Kevin, Bruce, Natalie, and Younas are on the same floor as Zeyd's so that they can keep an eye on him.
Durant is also on this floor, which is specifically requested by Zeid.
In order not to overly reveal their tracks, the rest of Group B spread out to other floors.
It was just before moving in, Yang Fan and all the people in Group B were waiting in the hall on the first floor, and Kevin and Bruce went to Zaid's room to check first. After confirming that there were no problems, Natalie and Younas led Zayd to his room.
After everything was settled, everyone came to Yang Fan's room.
Parker turned on the laptop, the screen showed the surveillance of the hotel and the surrounding area, Kevin and Bruce carefully observed, and after a few words of exchange between the two, Kevin said: "From the current point of view, everything is normal!" But there is a troublesome thing, Durant said that Zeid has a habit of never eating in a hotel room anymore, he must go to a restaurant! So, I'm afraid we need to pay attention to one more location. ”
Yang Fan looked at his watch and said, "There is still half an hour until dinner." Sir, you take Peter Pan to the hotel first, and try to book a quiet restaurant, where we have eaten for the past three days. The four of you and Durant will dine with Zeyd, and we'll be on guard nearby. ”
"Okay, no problem. I don't think the other party would be able to do it today, even if they wanted to. After all, we have just arrived, and the other party must also familiarize ourselves with our security situation first. Kevin said.
"It stands to reason that this should be the case, and we can't let our guard down!" Sokolov said: "Let's all carry a pistol with you!" Penumbra, you can't relax for a moment! Make sure that the hotel and surroundings are under your surveillance! ”
"Understood!"
At half past six, everyone came to the western restaurant on the third floor.
This is the place chosen by Kevin and Bruce, they have already come here to scout in advance, this western restaurant has fewer people, and there is a VIP restaurant. It is an ideal place with a good environment, a hidden location, and not easy to be attacked.
Kevin and Bruce have already chartered the VIP restaurant and went inside in advance to do a full inspection to confirm that there are no problems.
At dinner time, everyone accompanied Zeid to dine. Kevin and Bruce walked in front, followed by Zeyd, followed by Natalie, Younas, and Durant, with five people surrounding Zeid in the middle.
Yang Fan and the rest of Group B followed behind them, preparing to dine in the hall on the third floor.
Bob, Nick, and five other bodyguards dine in their rooms, waiting for Durant's orders!
The restaurant is large and can accommodate about 100 people. However, the consumption of Western restaurants is relatively high, dinner time has arrived, and there are more restaurants to choose from near the hotel, so there are more than a dozen people scattered in the Western restaurant.
Yang Fan carefully observed these people, it seemed that they were all tourists and business people from different countries, and there was nothing special about them. However, they have not let their guard down in the slightest.
The dinner process was very calm and nothing unusual happened. But just as Zeid finished his meal and was about to leave the VIP restaurant, three people sitting at a table in the hall more than ten meters away from the VIP restaurant suddenly stood up.
One of them picked up the knife on the table and threw it at Zeid.
Yang Fan was shocked. Although the table knife was not a weapon, the way it used was very skillful, and it was obviously a master who was proficient in hidden weapons. The knife flew straight towards Zaid at great speed, and if he was shot, he would surely die.
Kevin's eyes were quick and he immediately blocked Zaid behind him, and Bruce reached out and grabbed the knife directly and threw it to the ground.
When everyone was about to draw their guns, a grenade had already rolled at the feet of Bruce and the others, and at the same time that the man threw the throwing knife, the person on his left threw the grenade almost at the same time.
Bruce yelled, "Watch out for grenades! ”
Kevin immediately pinned Zeid to the ground and pressed him down with Durant.
With a "boom", the grenade exploded, which was actually a flash shock bomb.
While everyone was lying down and looking for shelter, the three people jumped directly from the restaurant to the first floor and escaped through the three exits of the hotel.
They move extremely fast, and they are obviously the best of the masters. Yang Fan didn't want to miss this opportunity, and he was also worried about the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
He shouted, "Sir, you four continue to stay here to protect Zeyd, the police should be there soon, don't cause a riot, and don't reveal your identity." The rest of the people, immediately pursue those three people! Penumbra, tell us where they are fleeing! ”
"I'll call someone to help you chase you too!" Durant stood up and shouted.
Parker said over the radio, "Boss, they escaped from three directions, all of them very fast, I can't track them through surveillance!" ”
"Sure enough, it's a master!" Yang Fan said: "We are divided into three groups to pursue, the Grim Reaper and my group, the Blood Eagle and the Bullseye group, and the Hurricane, Dulong, and Tiger Zi group. Remember, if you can't track it, don't force it. In less than an hour, no matter what the outcome, return to the hotel immediately! ”
"Understood!" Three groups of people rushed out of the three exits of the hotel and pursued them along the street.
Parker could only tell them the direction in which the trio had fled, and the surveillance range he could see was limited, and there was no way to tell them the exact route of pursuit. The three groups of people can only be tracked according to their own judgment.
Yang Fan and Ali chased along the street for a distance, but did not find any trace of each other.
The hotel is located in the heart of Istanbul, where the bustling terrain is so complex that it is almost impossible to chase down two masters without any hints.
Parker said on the radio: "Boss, Durant also chased out with those 7 bodyguards. They are also chasing in three directions, right behind the three of you! ”
"It's useless! Let them go back and assist Sir in protecting Zayd! Yang Fan said.
"Okay, understood. I'm going to contact Durant! ”
Yang Fan and Ali chased for about a kilometer, and the environment of the street became more complicated, with some shops and alleys on both sides of the street, and Parker never gave any more hints.
The two stopped in front of a T-junction, observing the surrounding situation, unable to confirm the direction of further pursuit.
Ali said: "Boss, we are more than 30 seconds behind them. With their skills, we can't catch up! ”
"That's right, those three are the best of the best! Never leave us a trace! ”
Ali thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I think something is wrong. Judging by their skills, it stands to reason that such a low-level assassination operation should not be formulated.
If they had known that we were here, with today's arrangement, the chances of an assassination success would have been basically zero! They also used flashbangs, which were clearly designed to grab our attention and get out of the way. ”
Yang Fan nodded silently and said in a low voice: "I also thought of it, so I let the four of them stay in case they fall for each other's calculations!" Forget it, just in case, let's go back! ”
"Good!"
Just as the two were about to leave, a figure flashed through the street next to them.
Both of them were keenly aware of the figure, and Ali asked, "Boss, what should I do?" It seems to be deliberately leading us to chase! ”
"Chase!"
Yang Fan said on the radio: "Penumbra, the Grim Reaper and I have found a clue and are pursuing!" In order to prevent the other party from deliberately luring us away, you immediately send the other two groups back to the hotel to protect Zayd! ”
"Roger! I'm going to contact Jazz and Hurricane right away. Boss, be careful! ”
Yang Fan knew that this was deliberately guided by the other party, but he still wanted to see what the other party wanted to do. Even if the other party has any calculations, he and Ali are fully capable of dealing with any unexpected situation, and transferring the rest of the people in Group B back to the hotel can also ensure the safety of Zaid, and they can chase with confidence.
Yang Fan and Ali have been following the figure in front, the people in front of them are shuttling between the streets, their movements are very fast, and they are clean, if it weren't for the fact that Yang Fan and Ali's skills are at the top level, others would have been thrown away by him long ago.
The three of them kept a distance of more than ten meters, Yang Fan and Ali couldn't catch up with the person in front for a while, and that person definitely couldn't get rid of them.
Finally, they chased down a very remote alley, and there were fewer and fewer forks in the road ahead, which was not like the route chosen by the escapees. Yang Fan felt a little strange and motioned for Ali to slow down, and the two took out their pistols and continued to search.
Ali said, "Boss, something is wrong. There are no people in this alley, and there seems to be a dead end ahead! But there is only one person on the other side, does he have the confidence to kill both of us at the same time? ”
"Or maybe it was intentionally luring us here! We'll find out right away! As he spoke, Yang Fan's hand had already been placed on the holster.
The two slowly walked to the mouth of the alley, and when they were about to rush in together, someone inside spoke first: "Don't be impulsive, I'm a red fox!" ”
"Red fox?"
Both of them were shocked, the man's voice was indeed a red fox. But the two did not dare to be careless at all, and they did not fully expose themselves, but hid on both sides of the alley.
Ali asked, "How do you prove that you are the Red Fox?" You're a master, what if you want to confuse us with the voice of the red fox? ”
The man inside replied, "Hello, Death, I know it's you." At that time in South Africa, it was still Group B that I advise you to join! Have you forgotten? ”
Ali nodded to Yang Fan, this matter was indeed only known to him and Red Fox.
Yang Fan also put away the gun and came to the alley with Ali. The red fox was standing in the alley, holding a human skin mask in his hand, and a shallow smile on his emaciated face.
"Red Fox, is it really you? What are you doing? Yang Fan asked with a puzzled expression.
The red fox smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, we're not here to kill Zaid. If you were to kill him, you wouldn't have made such a clumsy operation today. ”
Ali said lightly: "Red fox, long time no see!" I didn't expect our second meeting to be this way. ”
The red fox pointed at Yang Fan and said, "Actually, the second time I met him, it was also in this way, and I was used to it." Congratulations, I knew you were going to join Group B, and only Group B could be worthy of you! ”
Yang Fan waved his hand and said, "Okay, Red Fox." You always surprise me every time you show up! Say, what's the purpose of going to great lengths to bring us here? ”
The red fox took a few steps forward, came to Yang Fan and Ali, and whispered, "I'm here for Zaid this time, but you don't have to worry!" Because our goal is not to kill him, but to spy on him! ”
