"It's so cool! This is the car of my dreams!"

"Its bulletproof performance is comparable to that of a military armored vehicle!"

"Its off-road capability is much stronger, isn't it? It can just drive straight up Barricade that are over a meter high!"

"Didn't anyone notice how incredibly skilled the driver was? Those two wheel swerves were perfectly timed, it was a stroke of genius!"

"The driver was even more audacious. He stood still under the barrage of fire from five automatic rifles until all the enemies were gathered together, then drove off like a mole-smashing machine, crushing six of them in one go! A mass wipe! The driver was the real final boss!"

"I wish I had a car like that! I'd dare drive right through gang shootouts, bullets 'bang bang bang' hitting the windows, my girlfriend would go crazy with excitement!"

"Great idea from upstairs! You can just stop right in the middle of the battlefield and 'bang bang bang' from both inside and outside!"

"That's a great idea! I'd like to try it too!"

Where can I buy this car?

"Same question! I definitely need to buy one!"

"What movie is this clip from?"

"Impossible! How could a movie show two completely identical scenes, just from different camera angles, and a five-minute-long surveillance video? Unless the director is crazy!"

"It's definitely not a movie! It's too realistic. The entire video is filmed in one continuous shot, without any signs of special effects. It's absolutely real surveillance footage!"

"We'll know for sure when we see the news tomorrow! If it's true, this attack will definitely be on the front page!"

"That's right, but the car owner ran over six ground squirrels. Will he go to jail?"

"Definitely! I'm a lawyer, and according to California law, lethal force cannot be used in self-defense unless the other party is currently or is about to use lethal force against you; or the other party is currently or is about to cause you serious bodily harm. Even in the above situations, if the perpetrator can escape An Ran by running away, then lethal force is not allowed, unless the perpetrator was at their residence or workplace at the time. Judging from the video, although the driver was attacked with lethal force, the high-performance bulletproof SUV allowed him to easily cross the Barricade and escape An Ran. Therefore, unless he was at his residence or workplace at the time, he is exempt from the 'duty to flee,' and only then can legitimate self-defense be established. Otherwise, his actions would constitute murder. And judging from the video, it's clearly a tree-lined road, so the driver is probably dead!"

"I'm a secret agent! The driver is my colleague. We have a license to kill; killing is not illegal!"

"Such a powerful car, it could really be a secret agent's vehicle!"

I wonder how many people searched for information about this car after watching the video, wanting to know which company it was from, or which movie it was the car of.

Many people have also discussed this incident, and the vast majority agree with the view of the person who claimed to be a lawyer, "While it's fun to play 'whack-a-mole,' a few years in prison is inevitable."

Others speculated about the car owner's identity: agent, assassin, tycoon, race car driver. Netizens' imaginations were fully unleashed, and to some extent, their guesses were all correct. In the Iron Man world, Chen Mo is indeed an agent, and the most powerful agent leader at that. As for the other identities, they all fit. Although Chen Mo is not a professional race car driver, if he really participated in F1, he would definitely be the Champion.

In fact, Chen Mo really did have plans to enter F1, but not to compete himself; instead, he would form an F1 team!

Since Chen Mo has already decided to establish his own power in the real world and is not prepared to remain completely behind the scenes, he will inevitably appear in front of the public.

This is the real world, his foundation. Chen Mo doesn't want to completely hide himself, like Howard Stark, always remaining behind the scenes.

With his current strength and power, he has absolutely no need to be secretive or hide. He can stand boldly in the sunlight and openly build his own power base.

He has completely resolved the issue of his identity. His current identity is not entirely fabricated, but rather modified based on the identity of a missing Chinese orphan. No matter how you investigate, there are no flaws. As for the source of the precious jewelry and antiques that Chen Mo auctioned, every year many people in the United States find treasures buried in the ground or hidden in caves while exploring, traveling, or even taking a walk. The United States does not have the concept of huge amounts of property with unknown sources. Whoever finds the unclaimed property owns it!

Chen Mo doesn't even need to explain the origin of these treasures to anyone, because that's his privacy. As long as no one can prove that these things belong to him, then they all belong to Chen Mo.

Therefore, Chen Mo didn't need to worry about his identity being exposed. Back on the deserted island, because he still looked somewhat similar to his previous appearance, if someone saw him, it would inevitably lead to associations and arouse suspicion.

He has no connection to the plane crash now, and there is no link between them. Even if someone notices that he looks similar to "Chen Mo", they will only think it is a coincidence. After all, there are too many people in the world who look alike. The Black Chen standing here and the Chen Mo of that time can only be said to look somewhat alike, but their physique and temperament are completely different.

Even his classmates or the police officers who handled the case back then would only mutter that he looked somewhat similar when they saw him.

Therefore, his identity is no longer an issue. Chen Mo can confidently appear in public. Since that's the case, why should he be secretive? If Chen Mo wants to be a star, there's no problem with that.

On the contrary, if he keeps a low profile, it will arouse suspicion when noticed by those with ulterior motives, who may suspect that he has a guilty conscience or some unspeakable secret.

Instead of doing that, it's better to take the initiative and be high-profile, but of course, being high-profile must be within reasonable limits.

For example, now that Chen Mo has been attacked by several armed men at his doorstep, it would be perfectly normal for him to post the surveillance video of the incident online.

Under United States. law, if someone illegally enters without permission and poses a serious threat to the homeowner's personal safety, the homeowner has the right to launch a self-defense attack and kill the intruder.

This law originates from the "Castle Clause" of medieval Europe law, which originally meant that a man's house was his Castle; he had the right to use violence (including lethal force, such as shooting) against intruders.

However, to prevent abuse of this right, this clause is now subject to strict restrictions.
