Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

Because the night was so quiet, even with a silencer, the gunshots still sounded like tiny cracks in the air.

The 7.62mm steel-core bullet shot out from the muzzle, leaving an almost invisible trail in the night.

Then, within a second of pulling the trigger, Uriel spotted two more small targets through the night vision scope.

"puff!"

"puff!"

Without hesitation, he fired two shots at the two newly appeared locations, then quickly slid down from the tree where he was hiding and evacuated along the pre-planned safe route.

……

The scene shifts to inside the villa, where an intelligence officer is reporting the latest situation to Li Huangtai.

After listening to the report, Li Huangtai first frowned, then relaxed and said to the intelligence officer, "Understood. You did a good job. Stay vigilant."

"yes!"

The reporter responded respectfully, and seeing no further instructions, slowly left the room.

"Alright, it's getting late, everyone should get some rest tonight."

Human nature is always full of contradictions; the calmer the moment, the more uneasy Li Huangtai felt.

In recent days, the Li family has taken unprecedented precautions.

From the air, every corner of the Li family mansion can be seen—the gate, courtyard, garden, and even the rooftop—are guarded by vigilant guards who keep a close watch on any potential threat.

"Okay, Daddy!"

"Good night!"

The brothers Li Zeju and Li Zekai responded one after the other;

The little superman, who always felt that his father was making a mountain out of a molehill, was the first to stand up, waved his hand, and prepared to return to his room.

"Splash!"

At that very moment, the sound of shattering glass rang out, and a bullet suddenly pierced through the window and headed straight for Li Huangtai, striking his vital area before he could even react.

"No!"

"Huangtai!"

"Daddy."

"Help!"

......

Zhuang Mingyue, who was standing to the side, was stunned by this sudden change and was immediately on the verge of emotional collapse.

Overwhelmed with grief, she clutched at Li Huangtai's bleeding wound, trying to stop the flow.

On the other side, after a brief moment of shock, the eldest son, Zeju, quickly turned around, wanting to rush to his father to make sure he was safe.

The youngest son, however, was completely overwhelmed by fear. His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, helplessly calling for help.

However, everything happened too fast. Before the sound of shattering glass had completely faded, two more bullets pierced through the window, hitting Ze Ju and Ze Kai respectively.

"There's a sniper!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Doctor! Call a doctor quickly!"

These words were shouted almost simultaneously by several security personnel, who immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and called for a family doctor to come to the rescue.

At the same time, the security system of the entire villa area was fully activated, with some personnel strengthening the perimeter security and others rushing into the living room to carry out the rescue.

When everyone saw Li Huangtai and his two sons lying in pools of blood, their expressions changed drastically. They immediately began on-site rescue efforts, while simultaneously calling the police and an ambulance.

"Waaaaah..."

"Beep beep beep..."

The quiet night was suddenly broken by the piercing sound of police sirens and ambulance wailing.

Many residents who had already fallen asleep were awakened by the sudden noise. They opened their windows and witnessed police cars escorting several ambulances as they sped away.

Many people immediately realized that something extraordinary must have happened, and that the important figures involved were no ordinary people; otherwise, there would have been no police escort.

While ordinary citizens were still speculating and wondering, the entire political and business community in Hong Kong was already shocked by the news.

News quickly spread that Li Huangtai, the owner of Changjiang Stone Industry, and his family had been ambushed and their fate was unknown.

The situation immediately became chaotic!

Everyone sensed that a storm was about to break!

Although the core of the incident was just a wealthy Chinese businessman, the Hong Kong British government attached great importance to it because it was at a critical juncture in history.

During this sensitive period, any destabilizing factor could trigger greater turmoil.

If the Chinese government uses this as a pretext to issue a public statement questioning England's ability to maintain Hong Kong's stability and prosperity, and takes further action...

Many people hoped that no member of the Li Huangtai family would die, because there was a world of difference between serious injury and death.

Wealthy Chinese families have stepped up their security measures overnight to prevent their safety from being threatened in this uncertain situation.

387 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island, was originally a nearly completed hotel project, but it was purchased and renovated by Xinhua News Agency in the 1960s, becoming the headquarters of Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch.

The Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch not only served as the news agency of the national news agency stationed in Hong Kong, but was also one of the highest representative agencies of the Chinese government in Hong Kong, responsible for direct liaison with the Hong Kong British government.

The current first president is Lin Dan, who took office in 1978, and the second president, Yue Dingzhi, also took office in the same year.

Within ten minutes of the incident involving Li Huangtai's family, Lin Dan had already received an urgent notification from intelligence personnel.

He immediately summoned Yue Dingzhi and other high-ranking personnel, and instructed intelligence officers to continue to follow up and ensure that information could be fed back in a timely manner.

At this moment, in the conference room of Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch, filled with smoke, Lin Dan and Yue Dingzhi each lit a cigarette, their brows furrowed.

They all knew the importance of this matter.

"Now that this has happened, we must come up with a solution as soon as possible and decide on our next steps."

Lin Dan sat at the head of the conference table and spoke in a heavy tone.

Yue Dingzhi, sitting to Lin Dan's left, took a drag of his cigarette and calmly analyzed, "We must immediately negotiate with the Hong Kong British government, demanding a thorough investigation into this incident and guaranteeing that similar incidents will not happen again..."

"President Yue, excuse me for interrupting, but I have some relevant intelligence to report."

Just as Yue Dingzhi was giving his opinion, the middle-aged man sitting to Lin Dan's right suddenly spoke up, attracting everyone's attention.

The man, named Gao Dong, was the head of intelligence work in the Hong Kong area, reporting directly to the leadership of the Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch, and ranked third within the agency.

"President Gao, please speak."

Yue Dingzhi was abruptly interrupted, but he did not show any displeasure. He simply nodded politely, signaling Gao Dong to continue.

Gao Dong cleared his throat and said with a serious expression, "According to our intelligence, before the attack on the Li Huangtai family, there was a conflict involving the American Getty family on the streets of Causeway Bay."

Because the incident was related to the Getty family, we conducted an in-depth investigation afterward and discovered that the mastermind behind it might be connected to the young master of the Li family...
