Change of Plans!
Moreover, after the gunfire ended, several more loud explosions were heard. This company not only had machine guns, but also bombs!
This was completely different from their original plan. If the company had weapons such as machine guns and grenades, then ambushing their boss at the company gate would be suicidal!
The assassin immediately packed his things and left the S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company. The place was too dangerous; who knew if they would just idly shoot machine guns at the bushes?
Subsequently, the assassin's agent contacted Eddicott and explained the situation. They stated that his previous request to kill the target in front of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company. was too risky and therefore unacceptable.
Eddicott was taken aback at first, but then he realized what was happening after a moment's thought: they were conducting a bulletproof test! Could it be that they had actually succeeded in building that bulletproof off-road vehicle that had failed before?!
Although he didn't want to believe it, this was the most reasonable explanation. Otherwise, gunshots would not have rang out in the company for no reason and lasted for a whole minute. Based on his understanding of the company, this was definitely a test of the bulletproof performance of the armored car!
That bulletproof off-road vehicle is most likely already built!
This unexpected turn of events forced Eddicott to change his plans; he had originally intended to kill Chen Mo at the entrance of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company.
Chen Mo kicked him out of the company, and he wanted Chen Mo to die at the gate of his own company!
However, it seems unlikely now. Since the company has machine guns, grenades, and other powerful firearms and weapons, if they were to take action at the company gate, it would be fine if they could quickly and efficiently deal with Chen Mo. But if something unexpected happens and it takes some time, the security department is very likely to come to their aid with these firearms and weapons. The risks involved are simply too great.
Moreover, after learning that there were heavy weapons inside the company, the assassin was no longer willing to risk killing Chen Mo at the company gate, so Eddicott had to move the ambush location to the gate of Chen Mo's manor.
Chen Mo's usual routine is limited to the company and the manor. Cars frequently pass by on the highway, making it inconvenient to take action, and the company gate is too dangerous, so he can only choose the manor.
Moreover, Eddicott considered that the bulletproof SUV was most likely already manufactured, so Chen Mo would very likely switch to driving the bulletproof car manufactured by his own company to and from work. This would make the assassination much more difficult, and the original plan to send an assassin to ambush and shoot him would definitely not work.
It has to be said that Eddicott's hatred for Chen Mo was really deep. In order to take revenge on Chen Mo, Eddicott went so far as to hire four more assassins.
These assassins weren't top-tier; they were just the most ordinary and cheapest kind. He couldn't afford to hire truly top-tier assassins.
However, Chen Mo is not some political figure with a large number of bodyguards protecting him. Although he is a very wealthy man, he has no sense of security at all. He usually rides a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Even if he now has a bulletproof car, he can just replace it with a more powerful weapon!
He was involved in the design of this bulletproof off-road vehicle, although he didn't pay much attention to it, he still remembered the basic performance data.
This vehicle's bulletproof performance meets the VR7 safety standard, capable of withstanding attacks from weapons such as AK47s and grenades.
However, this resistance is not absolute defense. These attacks can still damage the Bulletproof Armor. It's just that the Bulletproof Armor installed in the vehicle is not just one layer, but a multi-layer bulletproof structure composed of special alloys, bulletproof ceramics and other high-strength bulletproof materials.
Nevertheless, the same spot on a bulletproof car can only withstand a few attacks before being penetrated, especially the most vulnerable bulletproof glass. However, because it is almost impossible for the enemy to hit the same spot on the bulletproof car repeatedly, the bulletproof car can withstand fierce attacks or even machine gun fire for several minutes.
Just like the assassin lurking in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company heard gunfire lasting for a minute, during which the entire body of the car should have been attacked by nearly a thousand bullets, but given the accuracy and dispersion of machine guns, it is virtually impossible to hit the same spot repeatedly. And even if the other armored parts, apart from the bulletproof glass, were attacked two or three times, they could withstand it.
Eddicott had a deep understanding of the bulletproof capabilities of armored vehicles, as well as their weaknesses, and naturally knew how to deal with them.
If they can find a way to force the armored vehicle to stop and prevent Chen Mo from escaping, then the armored SUV will become a turtle shell that can only passively take hits. Then, they only need to use automatic rifles to launch targeted and continuous attacks on the bulletproof glass. The bulletproof glass in the driver's seat will be pierced by a few dozen rifle bullets at most, and then Chen Mo will only have one way out: death!
Relying on his knowledge of the bulletproof off-road vehicle he had personally helped design, the confident Eddicott had the original assassin continue to lurk outside the S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company, monitoring Chen Mo's movements and providing backup, while he himself simply went to Chen Mo's manor with four other assassins.
Now that the location had been changed to a safer place, inside the manor where there was no one else around, Eddicott couldn't resist the urge to kill Chen Mo himself to vent his anger!
Although the manor had a sturdy iron gate, the wooden fences on both sides were of no use in keeping out people with malicious intent.
After easily scaling the more than one-meter-high ranch fence, they entered the estate and chose the tree-lined path leading through the wooded wall after entering the gate, making preparations in advance.
Everything proceeded according to his plan. As he expected, Chen Mo did leave the company in a new type of bulletproof SUV. They also successfully used the tall and thick trees on both sides of the road to trap Chen Mo, making it impossible for him to escape.
The rest seemed simple; they just needed to smash open the turtle shell as planned.
When Eddicott first saw the car, he noticed that it looked different from the armored SUV he remembered. It was no longer bulky and heavy, but instead looked very dynamic and sleek, and didn't seem to be an armored vehicle at all.
Eddicott didn't take it seriously at first. Judging from the vehicle's appearance, it didn't seem to have much protection. Did they remove all the Bulletproof Armor to reduce the vehicle's weight?
That's certainly very possible, but it would be better if it weren't an armored car, which would save them a lot of trouble.
But what happened next caught him off guard. Just as their attack began and a few bullets hit the bulletproof glass of the car windows, panels suddenly rose up, protecting all the windows and tires.
