The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chakupa is not a large city, with a permanent population of tens of thousands, which can only support one housekeeping company.

Inside the New England Home Services office, the boss, Johnson, put down the phone and looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.

He said, "It was a call from the film crew."

All of this was within Williams' expectations, because before he came, he had specifically learned about the situation of the manor. If the crew wanted to film there, they would have to do a thorough cleaning.

Otherwise, a dirty, dusty environment is simply not suitable for filming.

Before going to Washington, Williams had worked in Hollywood and was quite familiar with Hollywood production crews.

Hollywood has its own rules of operation. Even though director Eric Ethan is special, the crew, from producer Tom Cruise to set designers and prop masters, are all traditional Hollywood staff.

These people would never clean the filming location themselves; they would definitely have to hire a professional company to provide the service.

New York is more than 50 miles from Chacopa, so it's not a good idea to hire a company in New York, considering both time and distance.

So, when Williams learned that the film crew was coming to Sillari's house to shoot, he rushed to Chakopa City early, found the only housekeeping service company, and used his strong financial power to reach a cooperation agreement with them.

Johnson said, "My men are going over there soon to thoroughly clean up the estate."

In fact, Williams approached him for other reasons as well. On the one hand, Chacopa was the only professional housekeeping service company in the city, and on the other hand, the company had previously provided services to the Richardtons and was quite familiar with the estate.

Johnson added, "Let me state upfront that I have never met you. Any problems that arose were the responsibility of the hiring staff and have nothing to do with the company."

This person has some intelligence, but when faced with a large sum of money, his intelligence is truly limited.

Williams laughed and said, "Your people don't need to do anything. Just bring my people into the crew, and the rest is none of your business."

“No problem,” Johnson readily agreed, then asked, “What about the promised final payment?”

Williams said, "The money will be yours as soon as my men get into the manor."

Johnson nodded, quickly went downstairs, found the deputy in charge of the task, and gave him a few important instructions.

Soon, four professional housekeeping service cleaning vehicles set off from the company and headed straight for the famous manor on the outskirts of the city.

Williams' driver, who was driving an inconspicuous Toyota, followed behind the convoy and watched it enter the estate. After waiting for a while, he called Williams.

Inside the New England Home Services company, Williams hung up the phone and sent a text message.

Johnson was quickly informed by the finance manager and said with a smile, "Next time you need any more services, be sure to come to us."

“Yes, I will.” Williams stood up to take his leave.

After going downstairs, he quickly got into a car and instructed the driver, "Leave immediately."

Williams knew all too well what kind of background that production crew had, and there would definitely be no next time he would work with that idiot upstairs.

The key issue is that the other party might have to close down this time.

After leaving Chakpa, they arrived at a busy intersection. Williams got out of the car, switched to another vehicle, removed his wig, fake beard, and other disguises, and burned them to ashes on the spot.

The car sped away.

The car drove to a nearby predominantly Black neighborhood, and the driver quickly changed the license plates.

That afternoon, a group of black men stole the car and then changed its appearance. Even when the local police came, they couldn't find out exactly where it went.

At Chakopa Manor, the cleaning staff looked very professional and quickly got to work after entering the manor.

During the break, several people went to the car to get tools and arrived at the parking area of ​​the manor.

"Everyone on set is busy, nobody's paying attention here." Two of them looked around carefully and whispered, "Hurry up."

The other person said, "I'm fine too."

Two other people took out tools from their bags, selected two luxury vans with high chassis, and crawled under the chassis.

The others should keep watch carefully.

When they were cleaning the room before, these people had carefully observed that Leonardo would get into the Cadillac that he used to rest.

The Mercedes next to the Cadillac looks like director Eric Ethan's car.

If we take action against these two, especially director Eric, the production will definitely have to stop.

The two men who crawled under the car picked up their tools and got busy tampering with the brakes.

This group of people were all carefully selected by Williams. The two men in the car had worked as car mechanics for many years and knew how to make a car run normally at first, but cause brake failure once it went too fast.

The crew filmed in Chakpat but lived in New York, and would definitely take the highway on their way back.

It was quiet all around, and no one was paying attention.

Everything went exceptionally smoothly.

However, they did not notice that hidden cameras on two nearby trailers had already captured their actions.

The small drones that were originally flying high also lowered their altitude slightly.

The camera under the fuselage also quietly turned to look at them.

Upon hearing the voice in his earpiece, Leonardo's bodyguards immediately entered the garden area to protect him.

Almost simultaneously, Tom Cruise and Eric Ethan, who were discussing their work, also noticed several security guards disguised as ordinary crew members suddenly approaching them.

Tom Cruise was far more perceptive in this regard than Eric, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

A security guard replied, "Someone broke in, and the supervisor is handling it."

The film crew's security chief, Yero, came from the Butterfly Club and was far more professional in this area than they were.

Tom Cruise and Eric cooperated with the security personnel and did not do anything unnecessary.

Inside a large trailer in the parking lot, footage captured by a miniature drone was transmitted clearly and accurately to the main display screen.

Ceballos looked at Hierro and asked, "Boss, should we take action? It's not difficult to capture them."

Hiero was a capable manager at the Butterfly Company. He rejected his subordinates' suggestions and gave the order: "Don't take any action. Keep an eye on them. We need to find out who's behind them."

The command was transmitted to all the security personnel on the film crew via wireless headsets.

Outside, the security guards, disguised as crew members, moved silently, using their respective tasks as cover.

There were also people who infiltrated the set design and props teams, who followed their apparent superiors into the villa and secretly placed miniature surveillance cameras.

On the roof of the villa, two security personnel, crouching down, launched two more drones, taking advantage of the cover provided by the tall trees.

On the security trailer, the surveillance footage kept changing on several screens. Apart from the two vehicles, everything else was normal, and nothing unusual had happened.

Hierro gave reminders to several key members of the crew, such as the male and female leads, the director, and the producer, and the crew maintained a normal work rhythm. With such a crew filming in Washington and New York, how could Hawke not send people to protect them?
Hiero waited for many days and finally a table of delicious food arrived, but he knew very well that the food on the table was not important; the chef who cooked it was the real target.

On the monitor screen, two people crawled out from under the car, exchanged glances with the lookout, took tools from their cleaning cart, and walked towards the villa.

Hiero saw it clearly and ordered, "Don't touch those two cars. Pretend you didn't find anything."

Only a few people in the production crew knew about it, most of whom were highly trained security personnel from the Butterfly Company.

The others were several high-ranking members of the production team.

These people have worked in Hollywood for many years and encountered countless messes, so they are quite shrewd.

The film crew was operating normally, just like the cleaning staff seemed perfectly normal.

Hierro then informed Los Angeles.

The news quickly reached Hawke's office.

Hawke considered for a moment and said to Edward, "Tell Yero to handle it his way. If you can catch the person behind it, that would be best. If not, don't let these bastards get away."

“They dared to target our crew, so they should be prepared to pay the price.” Edward understood and said, “Butterfly Company has a lot of manpower over there, and they’re equipped with the latest miniature silent drones. Tracking these people will be a piece of cake.”

Hawke said, "It's not easy to catch the person behind it all."

If the other party isn't stupid, they won't meet with those who actually do the work again.

Inside Chakupa Estate, people from the New England Company emerged from the villa one after another, each carrying their own tools. They were all covered in dust and looked like they had done a lot of work.

The group walked together and, as they entered the parking lot, veered slightly toward the side of the convoy.

One of them said, "The marks I secretly made on the ground are still there, it's obvious no one has checked the car."

The other person also lowered his voice: "The stones I placed haven't been moved. If you want to crawl under that car, you'll definitely hit the stones on both sides."

The group exchanged a glance, realizing they had it in the bag this time.

They boarded one of the cleaning vehicles and followed at the back of the convoy as they exited the manor.

The two people sitting at the very back kept staring out the rear window, watching to see if any other vehicles were following behind.

They have undergone a period of training and possess a certain level of anti-tracking capabilities.

The driver asked, "Is there anything unusual?"

“No,” one of them replied. “There are no cars coming out from over there, and we don’t have any tails behind us.”

Another person said, "There are very few vehicles here. Let's wait and observe further ahead."

After merging onto the main road and driving for a while longer, the observer reiterated, "I can confirm that there is absolutely no tail following behind."

As the car passed an intersection, the number of vehicles on the road gradually increased.

However, the two people observing behind them were able to confirm that there was no tail.

These people put aside their last bit of worry, and smiles appeared on their faces. The leader said, "Alright, as arranged, after we change cars, we'll go directly to Osning, and from there we'll fly to Canada to enjoy our vacation."

Someone nearby said, "It's a pity there's no wine. We should have a drink to celebrate."

"Who said there's no alcohol?" The guy behind him seemed to conjure a bottle of tequila and a paper cup from his bag as if by magic.

The driver steadied the car, and the four guys in the back handed out paper cups, poured half a cup of wine into each of them, and even handed one cup to the driver's side.

The five of them toasted in celebration.

This job was easy and paid well.

Above the highway, out of sight of the naked eye, a small drone had followed the manor all the way here.

In a minivan that drove out of the town of Chapakor from behind, someone opened the side window and placed a drone on the roof.

The drone quickly took off and caught up with the vehicle a kilometer away.

Inside the vehicle, someone picked up a walkie-talkie and said, "Number Three, slow down. Number One will take your place."

The van sped up and overtook an SUV, but still maintained a safe distance from the cleaning vehicle in front.

The cleaning truck suddenly turned at an intersection, broke away from the original convoy, and drove into an open-air parking lot.

The five people quickly got out of the car, switched to another sedan, and drove away. They carefully observed the surroundings again before finally feeling completely at ease.

The car left the city of Chapak and headed northwest.

They had already booked their plane tickets and would be leaving tonight.

Fearing he might be reassigned, Hierro remained on set, directing operations via radio while simultaneously sending updates to Los Angeles.

Although that group had left the New England team, they were still closely connected to the company.

Hiero instructed people to compile the video evidence. If it was appropriate through official channels, he would report it to the FBI; if not, he could handle it privately.

The five vehicles that were tracking them followed them all the way to the northern city of Osnin.

Militang, who was in charge there, sent word that the target had not made contact with anyone else along the way, had arrived in Osning, and was on his way to the airport, where he was very likely to leave by plane.

This isn't Los Angeles, it's New York State.

The flight is uncertain, the destination is unknown, and once the target boards the plane, it will be difficult to track.

Hierro made a quick decision and ordered, "Choose a suitable location and capture all five of them! When Cuevas left, I made him take the crew's costumes and props with him."

This biographical film involves the FBI's investigation into a series of illegal activities by Hillary Clinton, so the production team naturally prepared realistic FBI blue field uniforms, as well as props and identification documents for filming.

The FBI is the most frequently impersonated agency in the United States, with at least several hundred impersonation incidents every year.

On the other side, Militang received instructions and immediately took out his tablet, connected it to the Starlink system, and had a reconnaissance drone launched to explore the area ahead based on the electronic map and Starlink coordinates. They quickly determined a suitable location.

Several cars sped along, overtook the target vehicle, and arrived at a section of road with very little traffic. They put on full FBI field uniforms and set up a roadblock, as if checking passing vehicles.

A few minutes later, the car pulled up and, seeing the FBI field agent carrying an automatic rifle, obediently stopped.

Militao used the pretext of checking a wanted criminal to order people to open the car doors and trunk.

These guys didn't think this had anything to do with them because, according to the timeline, the film crew hadn't finished get off work yet.

"Don't move, FBI, let me see your hands!"

By the time a gun is pointed at your head, it's too late. (End of Chapter)
