"Sapphire Star" was the name of the gambling cruise that Bordel would soon board. It implied that the sea was a sapphire, and this cruise ship was the star and star of the sea.
Although he had already decided to kill Bordel on the cruise ship, Jiang Cheng still planned to make a trip to his residence first. If there was an opportunity, he would finish him off. To prevent any future troubles, he would use that sniper rifle! Although the chances of that happening weren't high, if this guy was so careless, he would have long since died at the hands of another assassin.
Jiang Cheng pulled back with all his might, and after confirming that it really wouldn't budge, he nodded in satisfaction and pressed the blue button. The thin rope quickly began to retract, albeit at a slower speed than when it was shot. After about 30 seconds, it was completely retracted into the belt, and the entire belt returned to its original state.
Although the thin rope in the belt was only about as thick as a fishing line, it was actually quite sturdy. It could instantly pull up to 500 kilograms, and it would be no problem for it to carry two or three people at the same time.
After getting everything ready, Jiang Cheng packed up the rest of the things and put them in the cabinet in the guest room. Then he lay down on the bed and prepared to rest. Looking at the sky outside the window, it was still a long way from midnight, and he would only take action after midnight.
The day the Sapphire Star would arrive on the high seas outside England was the day after tomorrow. This luxury cruise ship belonged to the Las Vegas Casino in America, and it sailed on the high seas of various countries all year round, transporting the world's richest people to Las Vegas to gamble. Of course, there were some side shows on the ship, with all kinds of gambling games for entertainment. Bordel would take his personal ship to the high seas at the port and transfer to the Sapphire Star.
Before he entered the Sapphire Star, Jiang Cheng didn't intend to waste this time. He closed his eyes and lay on the bed, his mind churning as he made plans for the operation after midnight.
After a good night's sleep, it was just past midnight. Without the need for an alarm clock, Jiang Cheng immediately jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom. After a round of scrubbing, letting the cold water soak his face and stimulating his consciousness, he turned around and took out a black leather suitcase from the cabinet in the room, ready to take action.
About 20 minutes after leaving the hotel, Jiang Cheng arrived at the manor Bordel had booked in London. It occupied about 1,000 hectares of land and was surrounded by a steel wall that forbade anyone from entering.
Jiang Cheng glanced at the top of these steel fences and knew that more than one-third of the top was connected to high-voltage electricity. It was actually very simple. It was because there was a beetle lying on top of the fence, wanting to rest on it for a while. It had long been charred by the electricity, and if one looked closely, one could only see the outline of the beetle.
Let's just stay outside for now! Jiang Cheng made up his mind. It wasn't that he couldn't get in, but he was worried about alerting the enemy. The outermost fence was connected to high-voltage electricity. Who knew if there were other traps inside? In addition, there were bodyguards around, so there was no need to take the risk.
If it was just sniping, it was enough to do it from the outside! He just needed to find a place with a good view. Jiang Cheng scanned the surroundings and suddenly saw a tree in the distance. He immediately ran over, but just as he reached the bottom of the tree, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Bordel had actually installed a mechanism on the tree!
There were two or three people on the branches scanning the surroundings, and the angle of view was constantly changing. Clearly, someone was sitting in a room somewhere in the villa, monitoring the situation.
Looks like this location won't work, Jiang Cheng thought as he stood in the surveillance's blind spot. He turned to look around, but other than a few big trees, there were no other buildings nearby. It really wasn't easy to find a high vantage point. As for those big trees, he wasn't interested in checking them out. They were most likely installed with surveillance cameras, just like the ones here.
Suddenly, Jiang Cheng's gaze fell on a street lamp by the side of the road. He immediately ran over, but before he reached it, he slowed down. After careful inspection, he found that there was also a surveillance camera on the street lamp, but it was monitoring the road below and couldn't cover the entire area. There was an opportunity!
Jiang Cheng circled to the camera's blind spot and came to the underbrush under the street lamp. He opened his black leather suitcase and took out the parts of a sniper rifle to assemble. Soon, a complete light sniper rifle appeared.
Putting the sniper rifle's strap around his neck, Jiang Cheng began to climb the street lamp. He was as agile as a monkey, and with a few leaps, he was on top of the street lamp. Clamping the lamp between his legs, he took out a pair of military binoculars from his waist bag and looked in the direction of Bordel's villa. This pair of binoculars was relatively new and could clearly see a person's appearance within 3,000 meters. The focal length could be zoomed in and out, and it could even focus on a person's face. It also had a night light function that could be turned on and off at will.
Not to mention the situation over there, if seen with the naked eye, the villa in the distance seemed very small, but through the window of the military telescope, one could feel its size and grandeur. It was not inferior to the villa where Palad Bartel lived.
At that moment, there was a team of about 60 people patrolling outside the villa. The swaying of figures affected Jiang Cheng's vision of what was going on inside the villa to a large extent. He also discovered with a wry smile that the windows of Bordel's villa were the type that couldn't be seen from the outside, but could be seen from the inside. This made it impossible for him to accurately shoot.
Jiang Cheng turned on the military binoculars' night vision mode. Immediately, the crowd on the other side of the villa turned into orange phantoms, and the people inside the villa could also see them. However, such a field of vision couldn't meet the requirements for a sniper. When the people inside the villa walked to the window, perhaps they could gamble on their luck.
Could it be … the only assassin who managed to survive had used this method to kill two people and then quickly left? Jiang Cheng secretly guessed.
After thinking about it, Jiang Cheng jumped down from the lamppost. He had a plan in mind for this operation. Relying on luck to succeed wasn't his style. Besides, the people Bordel had arranged over there were likely to be bait. Rather than gambling on luck, it was better to wait here and give Bordel a fatal blow when he went out!
After Jiang Cheng made up his mind, he looked for a hidden spot and hid in the landscaped trees. From the outside, it would be difficult to discover that someone was hiding there, so he quietly waited.
One hour … two hours … time slowly passed. Jiang Cheng still held the military binoculars, motionless like a mountain as he quietly waited.
What kind of assassin was the most terrifying in this world? Someone with superb assassination skills? Someone extremely intelligent? No, none of them! The truly terrifying ones were those with patience. They could endure loneliness and wait for a split second before revealing their fangs and piercing the opponent's throat!
Jiang Cheng was such a person! He was like a lone tiger, quietly lying on the ground, waiting for his prey to appear. No matter how long he waited, he could maintain a calm state of mind that was neither arrogant nor rash.
Gradually … the sky slowly brightened. Bordel never left the villa at night. This disgusting coward really treasured his life!
Jiang Cheng prepared to leave. He wasn't going to make a move until he had the right opportunity. Once he did, he would take his life!
Without attracting anyone's attention, Jiang Cheng retreated from the flower beds on the outskirts of the villa and then squatted down in the distance to wait for an opportunity. However, he did not find one. In the end, he could only leave and return to the hotel. After eating something, he began to sleep. After waiting the night before, he decided to change his plans. Bordel would not come out at night, so he would wait during the day tomorrow to see if there was an opportunity.
Jiang Cheng rested for the night. At six o 'clock the next morning, he went to Bordel's villa to find a suitable place to hide and waited quietly. Finally, after noon, Bordel walked out of the villa with his men. But when he saw what was inside, his brows furrowed even more.
Bordel had brought more than 60 bodyguards with him when he went out, and these bodyguards surrounded him from both sides. With so many heads moving, it was impossible to see who was Bordel from afar. In such a situation, the best way was to snipe from a high vantage point, but the surrounding land was a wasteland, so how could there be any tall buildings? In the end, Jiang Cheng had no choice but to wait for Bordel to get into the car and shoot at his seat!
Jiang Cheng's sniping skills were very accurate. The gun immediately hit the black car's window 300 meters away, causing the bodyguards to panic. They all pulled out their guns and looked around.
Through the sniper rifle's scope, Jiang Cheng saw that the shot hadn't even pierced through the car's window. It had indeed hit, but it hadn't pierced through. The security level of such a car might be even higher than that of the British president! Moreover, the group of bodyguards was being commanded by a leader to pounce on him at a very fast speed!
It's time to leave! Jiang Cheng frowned as he thought.
The sniping operation had failed!
Through this encounter, Jiang Cheng finally understood that if he wanted to assassinate Bordel, he had to get close to him. Only when he was close enough could he take action. Otherwise, it was destined to be futile. As the head of Britain's number one underworld family, all his security measures must be in place. Otherwise, he would have been killed by others over the years!
Jiang Cheng quickly left before the bodyguards caught up.
After returning to the hotel, Jiang Cheng immediately checked out. There was no need to stay here any longer. The Sapphire Star luxury gambling cruise would arrive in British international waters that evening. He already knew the exact location, so he had to hurry and set up an ambush in advance. As for the Sapphire Star boarding ticket and invitation, he didn't have either, so he could only use his own methods to sneak in.
