Hilton Hotel.
Rachel happily counted the banknotes in her hand inside her room.
Earlier, when she went downstairs to eat, she was suddenly stopped by a strongly built young man.
Rachel originally thought the other party was just like other men, wanting to hit on her and go on a date.
But unexpectedly, after giving her 1000 U.S. dollars, the man began asking her about Rosalie and her son Mark.
Rachel saw that the other party seemed to be a gangster and appeared to harbor malicious intent toward Rosalie.
However, Rachel still told the man everything she knew, including the fact that Rosalie had hired a top bodyguard team.
She had been wishing for Rosalie to have bad luck anyway, so naturally, she would not conceal anything from the man.
While counting the money, Rachel secretly looked forward to something happening to Rosalie and her son.
Early the next morning, the security team sent by Bell Film Company finally arrived.
This security team had more than a dozen people, all equipped with firearms.
But whether in terms of equipment or personal quality, they were far inferior to the security squad by Rosalie’s side.
Seeing these people arrive, Caleb finally felt at ease.
“Director, why did the company suddenly send so many security personnel?”
The other actors sensed something was wrong at this moment.
Yesterday Caleb gave them a day off for no reason, and today the company sent so many security personnel; no matter how one looked at it, there was a problem.
“Our crew has been targeted by a local gang…”
This time Caleb no longer concealed it and told everyone about the Black Fire Gang targeting their crew.
“Hiss! The gangs in New York are simply too lawless!”
“I heard before that New York is very chaotic, and tourists frequently disappear for no reason. I didn’t expect that so many people in our crew are actually not safe either!”
“…”
Hearing this, the crew members were suddenly startled.
Fortunately, the security sent by Bell Film Company had arrived, so they did not fall into panic.
Some people also looked at Rosalie, who was being closely protected by two female bodyguards.
Only then did they realize that Rosalie must have received this news long ago, otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to suddenly hire a top bodyguard team at a high price.
“Now we head to the set, normal filming today!”
Caleb announced to everyone.
Under the escort of the security personnel, the crew members immediately left the hotel and drove to the set.
This time, Rosalie and Mark did not sit in the same car as the rest of the crew.
They sat in a bulletproof car arranged by Universal Security and proceeded together with the crew’s vehicles.
“Boss, I saw the crew members leave the hotel and they are heading to the set! However, Bell Film Company sent over a dozen more guards, and now they are moving together with the crew!”
On an apartment building not far away, Damir was watching the crew leave by car with binoculars while reporting the situation to Derek.
“Damn it! Our plan must have been leaked!”
Derek cursed fiercely, his expression gloomy.
Now he no longer held any delusions, understanding that the crew must have learned about his intention to target them.
“Damir, you idiot, it must be that you were discovered by the crew members while monitoring them!”
“Then… Boss, should we still execute our plan?”
Damir was scolded so badly he couldn’t raise his head, and in the end, could only sheepishly ask.
Derek’s expression shifted, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “The plan cannot stop! You continue to keep an eye on them for me. If we can find an opportunity, we will act immediately! If we can’t find one, we must act even if we have to create an opportunity!”
Now it was impossible for him to give up, otherwise, the consequences of offending Epstein were not something the Black Fire Gang could bear.
After entering the set, the film company’s security isolated the surrounding hundreds of extras from the crew to prevent ill-intentioned people from mixing among the extras.
Faith, by Rosalie’s side, arranged for two of her subordinate snipers to occupy two commanding heights around the set.
After everything was arranged properly, Caleb announced the start of filming.
For the next few days, the crew’s filming went smoothly, and everything seemed to return to calm.
But Alice discovered through the drone that the people staking out the crew had never disappeared; instead, there were even more of them!
This was enough to show that the Black Fire Gang had not given up their plan against the crew, and might even be more urgent.
While making Mark vigilant, every night he would also continue to use hacking techniques to search for crime evidence of the Black Fire Gang.
The arrest of the gang leader named Horse last time did indeed arouse the vigilance of the Black Fire Gang.
But the Black Fire Gang had too many illegal industries, generating astonishing profits every day, and these gangsters could not leave money unearned.
During their transactions, they had already been as cautious as possible.
But under Mark’s pervasive network intrusion, one human trafficking case, two drug trafficking cases, and two violent assault cases against women were still recorded.
“Unfortunately, there are still many places without the internet that are darkness I cannot reach.”
“Perhaps after accumulating enough capital, I can build a smartphone factory and create smartphones ahead of time. By then, I will have my eyes all over the World…”
Mark made up his mind secretly in his heart.
Afterwards, he had Alice send the crime footage he captured to the nearest Police station.
South Lake Neighborhood Police Station.
Thompson’s email inbox once again received crime videos of Black Fire Gang members.
Without any hesitation, after obtaining the arrest warrant, he once again dispatched his subordinate Police officers to make arrests!
Thompson knew that this was someone secretly using him as a knife to deal with the Black Fire Gang.
But as long as the crime evidence provided by the other party was true and valid, everything else was not important!
Over so many years, quite a few Police officers had lost their lives in the open and covert struggles with the Black Fire Gang, and Thompson had long hated this malignant tumor of the Black Fire Gang to the core.
As long as they could be eradicated, he didn’t mind being this knife.
Thompson had previously also notified the network expert in the Police station, trying to have him find the person who anonymously sent the email.
But the other party’s network technical level was very high, and the Police station’s network expert simply couldn’t track the person, so Thompson could only give up in the end.
Black Fire Company Building.
Upon learning that more than a dozen more gang members had been arrested by the Police, Derek angrily overturned the desk in his office!
“Damn it! How could the Police get the news so accurately? There must be a mole inside our gang, and the other party’s status in the gang is not low! Find him for me, I want to chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!”
Derek gave orders to his subordinate leaders with a chilling voice.
Previously, he wanted to let the company’s legal department bail out those arrested members, but the Police station refused bail on the grounds of major case details and conclusive evidence.
Now that so many people had been caught, some black industries under the Black Fire Gang were gradually beginning to experience problems.
This made Derek somewhat flustered and exasperated, and the capture plan originally targeting Mark had to be delayed.
Right at this moment, an anonymous call came in.
Seeing this call, Derek’s expression changed, and he instantly reined in all his anger.
“Sir?”
Derek’s voice became respectful.
“It’s me! How is the matter I asked you to do last time going now?”
A deep man’s voice came from the mobile phone.
“This, recently the gang has encountered some trouble, so…”
Derek stammered, wanting to explain.
“You don’t need to explain to me!”
The man on the other side of the phone impatiently interrupted him: “Mr. Epstein is having a gathering in a week, and he wants to entertain a guest of distinguished status. This boy named Mark is the best gift for that guest! If you cannot deliver the person within a week, you will bear Mr. Epstein’s wrath at that time!”
“Yes, yes, I will definitely do my best to handle this matter well within a week.”
Derek could only nod and agree helplessly.
Seeming to hear Derek’s lack of confidence, the voice on the other side paused slightly and said: “How about this… In a couple of days, I will send someone over to help you. I believe with his help, capturing this little boy named Mark will be much easier.”
“Yes, thank you, sir.”
Derek thanked him verbally, but in his heart, he thought otherwise.
Although the Black Fire Gang had encountered some trouble recently, once fully mobilized, they still had one to two hundred brothers who could hold guns.
The other party was just sending one person over, what use could that be?
The next two days were calm and tranquil, and the crew filming did not encounter any trouble.
Caleb and the crew members gradually relaxed their vigilance.
They felt that the Black Fire Gang might have seen that the crew had security and didn’t dare to come and provoke them again.
Even the dozen or so security personnel from Bell Film Company became lax, often taking time to chat and laugh with the crew’s actresses.
On the contrary, the bodyguards beside Rosalie and Mark would plan routes in advance every time they went out, rehearsing how to respond after encountering various crises.
After arriving at the set, they would also meticulously complete all arrangements.
In terms of professionalism, they completely crushed those security guards from Bell Film Company.
“You really get what you pay for, these two million U.S. dollars were spent worthily!”
Mark was very satisfied with the performance of these bodyguards.
Of course, he himself had never relaxed his vigilance.
A drone was always monitoring the nearby situation above Mark, and his messenger bag always contained two modified stun guns of his own.
This day, after finishing the last scene, just as Caleb was about to call it a day, the extras on the periphery suddenly rioted.
“Damn capitalists! We extras are also human, the wages they give are too low!”
“That’s right! Working such long hours every day, they only give us 80 dollars? We want a raise!”
“…”
Under the instigation of someone with ulterior motives, the surrounding hundreds of extras quickly grew angry and began pushing and surging toward the crew.
“Security, hurry up and stop them for me!”
Seeing this scene, Caleb was greatly shocked and hurriedly shouted at the surrounding security.
The filming equipment on the set was extremely expensive.
Once damaged, not only would the company suffer huge losses, but it would also affect subsequent filming.
