Playing Along with Their Scheme!
Their attack had barely begun when, after only a few bullets had struck the bulletproof glass in the driver's cab, all the windows and tires of the vehicle were suddenly protected by protective barriers that popped out.
Their subsequent attacks caused minimal damage to the barrier, only chipping the paint and leaving some shallow bullet holes.
It turns out that Chen Mo not only didn't remove the bulletproof function, but actually enhanced it!
Before he could even think about how he had solved the problem of insufficient engine power, Eddicott frowned deeply as he looked at the armored car, which, despite being riddled with bullet holes from the four gunmen's attack, remained sturdy and showed no signs of being breached.
"Stop!"
After observing for a while, Eddicott shouted at the four men.
He shouted several times before the four gunmen, amidst the deafening gunfire, heard him and stopped their attack, looking at their employer.
Looking at the bullet holes scattered across the body of the bulletproof SUV, Eddicott couldn't help but sigh, "You get what you pay for!"
They had clearly agreed to focus their attacks on the car windows, but these guys were still firing indiscriminately at the entire car body. I don't know if they were bad at shooting or just plain stupid. They dared to call themselves assassins; they were just a bunch of ordinary gangster gunmen. But considering their price, Eddicott tolerated it.
"That won't do! Let's all get around to the front of the car and concentrate our firepower on the windshield!"
If these low-level assassins continue their aimless attacks, they probably won't be able to kill Chen Mo even by nightfall. It's better to concentrate everyone together, creating the largest attack area, which is also where Chen Mo will have the least chance to dodge – the windshield. With the firepower of the five of them, it shouldn't take long to break through the outer armor. At that point, Chen Mo won't even have anywhere to hide; he'll only face certain death!
The employer spoke up, and their previous attack had indeed been ineffective. Concentrating their efforts to fall together was a good strategy. As instructed, the assassins circled around to the front of the car, to the spot where the two large trees had fallen.
Although the vehicle had remained stationary since the attack, they still moved a few meters behind a large tree for safety.
These two large trees are several decades old, with a height of over ten meters and a trunk diameter of seventy to eighty centimeters. Their dense canopies supported the upper parts of the trees after they fell to the ground. The two trees fell from opposite sides of the asphalt road and intersected to form an X-shaped Barricade, which served as a greater obstacle than simply fallen logs. The lowest point was at the center of the X where the two trees intersected, but it was still nearly one meter high.
Eddicott and his four gunmen took up this position, so that the two trees would block Chen Mo's path to escape without hindering their firing.
Even after they raised their guns again and launched a fierce attack on the windshield of the SUV, which was blocked by special alloy armor, Chen Mo inside the vehicle still did not make any move. He neither drove out to try to break free nor turned to dodge. This saved Eddicott and his men a lot of trouble; they could just stand there and keep firing.
Five automatic rifles unleashed a torrent of bullets, quickly riddling the windshield armor with bullet holes. After several minutes, the continuous barrage of thousands of bullets had caused significant deformation in many areas. Eddicott's previously gloomy face finally broke into a smile of excitement and madness.
I believe that soon their Bulletproof Armor will be torn apart, and then Chen Mo's death will be imminent!
Chen Mo, however, showed no sign of panic. He simply sat relaxed in the car, calmly watching the screen on the windshield, as if waiting for something.
On the inside screen of his windshield, five men wielding automatic rifles were clearly visible at the intersection of two tree trunks ahead, firing wildly at him. Eddicott Cote's ferocious face was particularly clearly captured in the video.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., did you record it all?"
"Yes, boss! The Knight's camera and the hidden cameras installed in the woods on both sides are all working properly, and everything that happened has been recorded and preserved."
"Very good!"
Chen Mo nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
What propaganda could be more convincing than a real attack?
That's right!
Today's attack was actually part of Chen Mo's plan. Ever since Eddicott was driven away, Chen Mo had J.A.R.V.I.S. monitor his location and movements.
That day in the company conference room, Chen Mo, through his keen perception and expertise in psychology, deduced that Eddicott was a vindictive person. Based on the information J.A.R.V.I.S. had gathered about him, Chen Mo concluded that Edith would most likely retaliate against him.
Although Eddicott couldn't possibly harm him with his strength, it's not the theft itself that's worrisome, but the thief's ambition. He himself wasn't afraid, but he still had the estate, the company, and the employees. To be on the safe side, he would never allow anyone who harbored deep malice towards him and would be detrimental to him to continue living!
So Chen Mo had J.A.R.V.I.S. keep an eye on him and keep track of his every move. Originally, it was just in case, to prepare to find an opportunity to kill him later. Unexpectedly, he couldn't wait any longer and began to take revenge on Chen Mo. He directly hired an assassin to ambush and kill him at the company gate.
Just as the bulletproof off-road vehicle was about to be produced, Chen Mo decided to turn the tables and came up with a way to kill two birds with one stone.
J.A.R.V.I.S. had been monitoring the assassin's movements. When the assassin infiltrated the vicinity of the company to scout the area, Chen Mo took the opportunity to start a bulletproof test on the Knight SUV, deliberately alerting the assassin and forcing them to change their plans and move the ambush location to Chen Mo's manor.
Given Eddicott's understanding of the company's situation, he would definitely guess that the armored off-road vehicle had been manufactured. Therefore, he would increase manpower and use more powerful weapons that could penetrate ordinary armored vehicles. In this way, Chen Mo could use the Knight SUV and the cameras installed in the manor to record the entire attack process for propaganda purposes.
Based on Chen Mo's understanding of Eddicott's personality, given his vindictive, ruthless, and obsessive nature, after the attack location was changed to a more secluded and secure manor, he was very likely to personally come to the scene to retaliate against Chen Mo.
In this way, Chen Mo can take the opportunity to eliminate this hidden danger.
Eddicott has already started retaliating against him. If we don't get rid of him immediately, are we going to keep him around for the holidays?
