The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 159: Secret Operations on Oscar Night
The next morning, Campos received a message from his informant and immediately fed it back to Hawke.

After hearing this, Hawke asked Caroline, "How old is Will Smith's son?"

"Jaden Smith?" Caroline recalled: "He seems to have been born in 1998 and is less than five years old now."

There was one thing she didn't dare ask: Was Hawke planning to target the child?
But on second thought, it seems that my boss has a higher bottom line than most people in Hollywood.

Hawke said nothing more, for the information he had received from Campos was not ordinary.

A while ago, Sean Combs organized a party to entertain the Zippertons, and Will Smith and his wife brought their son to attend.

Hawke automatically blocked Sean Combs' party.

The Zipperton couple, especially the woman named Hillary, are extremely vicious.

As March approaches and the Oscars ceremony draws closer, the focus of all media in Los Angeles has shifted to the Oscars.

Even the paparazzi active throughout Los Angeles have abandoned the ordinary targets and changed their subjects to stars or directors who have received heavyweight nominations.

Will Smith, who has slammed his Oscar nominations, was not on the list of Oscar presenters.

The Smiths will also not attend the Oscars ceremony in protest.

Hughes Aircraft Plant, set of "I, Robot".

A Mexican named Domingo waited for more than half a month before finally seeing Will Smith and Bridget Moynahan show up at the crew for rehearsal.

He was a temporary set builder who spent a lot of money to get into the set builder team.

Most importantly, Domingo's carpentry skills are up to the mark.

Nearing the lunch break, Domingo spotted Will Smith and Bridget Moynahan coming out of the rehearsal space together and walking towards the area where the trailers were parked on the set.

He carried a large tool bag on his back and left the group of his companions to have lunch, using the excuse of going to the toilet.

There were many people on the set at that moment, but Domingo was not in a hurry. He turned into the toilet on the side, entered a partition, took out a small camera from his bag, adjusted the lens, turned it on, and put it back into his bag.

When he came out, he looked around and seeing that no one was paying attention, he headed straight into the trailer parking area.

The Hughes Aircraft Plant had long been transformed into the largest film and television shooting area in the Los Angeles area, and the huge factory building was just right for converting into a studio.

However, due to the inherent lack of supporting facilities, we have to rely heavily on trailers to solve the problem.

There are more than twenty RVs of various types parked here.

Domingo had already found the spot and got in between the RVs. He quickly found the one reserved for the heroine and discovered that all the curtains of the RV were open and there was no one in the car.

He then found the protagonist's RV nearby. The curtains in the car were closed tightly. Only from a certain angle could one see that a curtain on the rear side was not closed tightly.

This is where Domingo had tampered with the scene some time ago. It is not easy to notice, and from the angle he chose, he can also shoot inside the car.

Not only the hero's car, he also sneaked into the heroine's car.

Domingo quickly found a good angle and after a quick observation he discovered that there were two people in the car. He immediately took out his camera, hid behind an RV, quietly extended the lens, quickly made adjustments, and filmed the situation in the car.

Those two people were doing something between a man and a woman.

Because of the posture at the moment, I can't take a picture of her face.

After waiting for a while, the two men changed their posture and the camera captured their faces at the same time.

Domingo remembered his boss's instructions and did not take more pictures. He took back the camera and checked it. After making sure there was no problem, he immediately turned it off and hid it in his bag, then quickly left the area.

He called his boss as he headed to the restaurant.

Arriving at the restaurant, Domingo and his co-workers had a normal meal. After the meal, there was still some time before work started, so a few of them went out for a walk.

During this time, he went to a convenience store to buy cigarettes, met Carlos, and quietly handed the camera bag to him.

Carlos drove away immediately.

By the afternoon, Edward had obtained the filmed video and delivered it to Hawke's desk.

Hawke watched it carefully. Although the video was not very clear because the camera was secretly shooting through the gap in the curtains, it was enough to see the faces of Will Smith and Bridget Moynahan, as well as what they were doing.

It took more than half a month from the time the task was assigned to the task before we initially achieved our goal.

Caroline came over and asked, "Send it now?"

"No, wait a little longer." Hawke looked at Edward: "Have they been discovered?"

Edward specifically asked: "No."

Hawke put away the storage disk and said to Caroline, "Someone will come to sell this video before the end of the get off work day. You go to meet them in person and buy it at the normal price."

Caroline understood: "Okay."

Not long after, a Mexican woman came to Twitter to sell news videos, and Caroline received her personally.

Hawke called Campos again and asked him to be patient and not to rush.

It would be best if we could get a video of Will Smith being gay, but if not, the existing videos are eye-catching enough.

…………

On March 2003, 3, the 23th Academy Awards ceremony was held on time at the Kodak Theater.

This attracted attention from all over the United States.

Especially media reporters.

On such a special day, even paparazzi will gather at places related to the Oscars.

For example, the theater on the Walk of Fame, the hotel that hosts the Oscars night, the burger restaurant that celebrities like to visit, etc.

Stars who have nothing to do with the Oscars will be automatically ignored.

In Calabasas, Los Angeles, a mansion called Dream Castle occupies an entire hill.

This is Will Smith's home.

There is only one main road leading up the mountain. In the museum parking lot near the intersection, Campos and Garcia have been waiting with a few people for nearly a month, changing cars, shifts and clothes.

During this time, they saw their target Duane Martin visiting the Smith family's mansion, but they couldn't follow him because it would easily alert others.

The sky gradually darkened and the surroundings became unusually quiet.

In the past, paparazzi always gathered here.

Those guys disappeared without a trace tonight, all chasing Oscar.

On a Chevrolet, Campos woke up the dozing Garcia and said, "A car is coming down."

Garcia stood up, picked up the telescope and looked over there. The bright headlights made it difficult for him to see the front of the car: "There are two cars."

Campos picked up the intercom: "Everyone, get ready to go."

The personnel in the other three vehicles arrived quickly.

Campos had money and could get legal status, so he attracted a lot of Mexicans.

Among them are former Mexican policemen who were forced to cross the border by traffickers, and guys whose families were killed by traffickers while fleeing.

Campos watched for a moment as the cars got closer. He said to Garcia, "I'll follow the one in front, and you lead the others to follow the one behind. Remember, don't alarm anyone if there's no good opportunity to take a photo."

Garcia immediately got off the car with his bag on his back and moved to another car.

A man came over and sat in the passenger seat.

The previous car came down the hill and turned onto the main road.

Campos stayed in the car the whole time and remembered the vehicles coming in and out very clearly. The Smith family had no guests during these days.

He waited a moment and followed.

There was another car behind, cross-tracking with the Chevrolet.

Another car coming down the mountain was Jada Smith's Porsche, and Garcia and his men chased after it.

Will Smith drove to the vicinity of Lake Balboa Park.

The person driving the car was his assistant and playmate Bilal.

There are many single-family houses separated by walls.

Will Smith's good friend Duane Martin lives in this area.

He has children at home, so it's not convenient to ask Duan to go there, and he doesn't dare to go to a hotel or other places. So he took the opportunity to go to Duan's house on Oscar night.

The street is very quiet, with the Lake Balboa Park which is under renovation on one side and sparsely populated houses on the other.

Will Smith made a phone call and asked Bilal to park the car at the door. He looked around in the car, then put on the hood of his sweatshirt and quietly got out of the car.

He told Pilar: "Stay outside."

Bilal nodded: "I will wait for you to come out."

Will Smith got out of the car, walked to the door, input his fingerprint, and went in quickly.

The wall blocks out prying eyes from outside.

Duan was waiting for him at the door.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, a black Ford passed by the gate without stopping and continued to drive forward.

Pilar looked over and saw Ford turning the corner ahead, then lowered his head to adjust the radio to listen to news about the Oscars.

Then he rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.

A Mexican in the black Ford picked up the intercom and said, "Boss, there's a car parked in front of the target house with people in it. Don't go straight over there."

"Got it." The Chevrolet was parked far away on the side of the intersection.

Juan, a young man in his twenties, was sitting in the passenger seat and was a little anxious: "What should we do?"

"You wait in the car." Campos got out of the car, pretended to be an ordinary pedestrian, walked to the intersection and looked over there.

He exchanged experiences with two veteran photographers, Hawke and Edward, and first went to look at the lampposts. This was not a main road, and the lampposts were short and not very suitable.

It’s better not to mention the green trees on the roadside.

Campos looked at the park that was being renovated and found an area that could be used. Not too far from the target house, there stood an old-fashioned water tower.

It looks like this landscape was left here specially.

Campos went back, and he and Juan each put on their bags, and said, "Follow me, and don't make any noise."

The two men climbed over the park fence, crouched down and ran towards the house, and soon arrived under the water tower.

There was a metal ladder in the water tower. Campos climbed up first. After reaching the upper level of the water tower, he confirmed that the target house could be seen from here.

He waved to Juan below, and Juan immediately followed.

The two men squatted on the metal support frame of the water tower. Campos took out the camera, put it on his shoulder, turned it on and looked toward the house.

There were lights on in several of the house's large windows, but no one was visible.

Juan also opened his bag, took out his SLR camera, installed a telephoto lens, and looked back and forth for a suitable shooting angle.

Through the camera, the two could see the interior layout of the house, but there was no one there.

Campos glanced at the cars parked outside the courtyard and said softly, "Keep calm, don't worry."

Juan nodded repeatedly.

There was a steel frame under their feet, and it was very uncomfortable to squat on it, but the two men tried their best to endure it.

This wait lasted a long time.

Finally, two dark-skinned men appeared.
