My days as a landlord in Gotham
Chapter 102 This Tenant... Frivolous!
(land)
Like all metropolitan cities, the city center is generally where the poor live, while the more suburban, the richer people gather.
As the head of Gotham's four major families, the Wayne family lived in Bristol County, which was close to Gotham City but separated from the city center by the Queens River.
The area of Wayne Manor occupies about one-third of the area of Bristol County. If the Goodwin Airport, which basically serves the Wayne family, is included, then two-thirds of the land in Bristol County is It is the property of the Wayne family.
The value of these lands alone is enough to keep the Wayne family from worrying about lack of money for generations. You must know that Bristol County is the place with the best scenery in the suburbs of Gotham City, so many rich people choose to settle here .
Also here is the "Gotham-Metropolis-New York City Freeway"
Gotham City's access point, and is only across the Liberty River from Gotham County, where Gotham International Airport is located.
Since it is the residence of the Wayne family, when the Gotham City Rail Transit was built, there was naturally a subway line leading to it.
In the words of the citizens of Gotham City, Bristol County is the Platinum District of Gotham City.
Across the Queens Bridge is the boundary of Bristol County. Compared with the gray concrete forest in the urban area of Gotham City, the greening of Bristol County is obviously much better.
Coupled with the occasional hills, Li Lei and others have a feeling of being close to nature.
Come down from Queens Bridge, then turn into West Bank Road, and finally reach the south entrance of Wayne Manor from Brunswick Road.
There are two roads at the south entrance of Wayne Manor, and Li Lei chose the one on the east side.
Although the entire plain in front of him and the hills in the distance belong to Wayne Manor, Li Lei knows that there are still different names within the Wayne family.
The entire estate is known as "The Stately Manor of Wayne"
(Stately Wayne Manor)
Because the ancestors of the Wayne family were nobles conferred by the Queen of England, this land is the fief of the Wayne family.
However, as the United States became an independent country during the War of Independence, outsiders generally used "Wayne Manor" except for the way the Wayne family still called it.
And the building in the very center of Wayne Manor was also awarded the "Wayne House" because of the Wayne family's past glory.
(Wayne Mansion)
After all, only noble residences can use the title of "Fu".
this suffix.
The entire Wayne Mansion is mainly designed in the Tudor style, but at the same time it is a mixture of the European court design and the Renaissance design style.
The characteristic of Tudor-style British architecture is that the shape is concave and convex, and at the same time, it pursues the balance between left and right.
Li Lei's black tiger stopped at the fountain in front of the Wayne Mansion, where he had been waiting for Li Lei's butler, Fu, to have his servants drive Li Lei's black tiger to the parking area.
For Li Lei, Ah Fu has always had a good impression, so he said very happily: "Mr. Li was able to take the time to come here to attend the dinner of the Wayne family, which really makes the Wayne mansion flourish."
Following the three-stage staircase, everyone came to the Wayne Mansion.
Similar to all the palace-style buildings of the year, the gate of Wayne Mansion is actually raised one level above the ground, and at the same time, it can only be walked up through two steps on the left and right.
Ah Fu led Li Lei and others into the Wayne Mansion from the stairs on the right. The main hall of the Wayne Mansion was very high, with several chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
Compared with the previous visits to Wayne Mansion, Wayne Mansion has been thoroughly cleaned and renovated recently.
With the current income of the Wayne Group, A Fu naturally does not need to save money for Bruce, so the entire renovation is completely restored according to the style of the year, and the materials used are naturally expensive.
But such a resplendent style didn't look particularly abrupt, and it didn't have that kind of local arrogance at all.
"The young master is waiting for Mr. Li in the study."
Ah Fu said, "I will show Mr. Hamada around the Wayne Mansion.
You haven't been here since the last time Wayne House started to be restored.
Now the entire Wayne Mansion has been renovated, not only repairing the previous damage, but also adding a lot of current equipment.
By the way, the Wayne Art Investment Fund under the Wayne Group has recently purchased a lot of oil paintings and artworks, I will take you to have a look. "
For the Wayne family, Ah Fu can't help but show off.
Hamada Hiroshi, Jason and Adam followed Ah Fu to visit the Wayne Mansion, while Li Lei came to Bruce's study familiarly.
Now Bruce's study still retains a strong British court style, but it has also added a lot of modern office equipment.
Li Lei guessed that Bruce and Afu took advantage of this opportunity to renovate the Wayne Manor to renovate and expand the bat cave under the Wayne Manor.
Li Lei didn't try to expose them either. Although he and Bruce had a good relationship, they were not family members, so he kept the secret of the basement from Bruce, and Bruce also kept the secret of the Batcave from him.
"Are you really planning to adopt two children?"
Li Lei said straight to the point, "Do you have some hidden illness?"
Although Li Lei knew that Bruce should train Robin first, but Li Lei would not show his foresight in front of Bruce.
"You should be able to guess my purpose, Ray, you just played it."
Bruce said coldly.
"You also know that my current status is very dangerous. I don't want to die without leaving an heir to the Wayne family."
"Then you can give birth to one yourself."
Li Lei said nonchalantly, "There should not be hundreds of thousands of women in the United States who are willing to bear children for you, but there must be 10,000+, right?
You can sign an agreement to protect your property and parental rights. "
"I don't want to talk about it. Since I plan to adopt two children, I will take good care of them and train them."
Bruce said, "Actually, the main purpose of my coming to you is about the 'scarecrow' that appeared in Gotham City recently."
"Does the scarecrow have anything to do with you?"
Li Lei looked at Bruce in puzzlement.
According to the setting of DC Comics, the reason why the Scarecrow caused a bloody storm in Gotham City is purely to avenge the bullying he received in school when he was a child.
It can be said that if Batman hadn't taken the initiative to find the Scarecrow, then the Scarecrow and Batman would be two parallel lines.
However, Batman's pursuit of Scarecrow and Batman's defense of Gotham City attracted the attack of Scarecrow, but his attack power is relatively limited, and he is not Batman's life and death enemy.
But this is not a pure comic world after all, it is estimated that the timeline has changed.
"Because the Wayne Group launched the 'Gotham Revival Project', and the first major project of this plan is to rebuild the Rouge Corner."
Bruce said lightly.
When Li Lei heard this plan, he knew why Bruce said that he provoked the Scarecrow, because although Bruce's plan was indeed conducive to the revival of Gotham, it offended too many people.
Carmine Point is the first commercial wharf since the opening of Gotham City, and it is still known as the "berthing yard" today.
The form exists, but most of the cargo terminals have been closed.
However, Rouge Point and Gotham City International Airport are only separated by the North River, and the two places are connected not only by expressways, but also by intra-city railways, so it can be developed into an international port integrating air and sea.
But the problem is that the shipping industry in Gotham City has now been mainly transferred from Uptown Island, where Rouge Point is located, to Downtown Island. Except for the Navy Commander Wharf on Sandy Hook Island, which is a military port, the other three major All docks belong.
The Falcone family, an Italian-American family, controlled the largest freight terminal in Gotham City, the Burnley Freight Terminal (located on the East River side of Lower City Island); Queens River side of City Island)
In addition, there is the Shell Bay area on Midtown Island controlled by the Copperpot family where the Penguin is located.
If the Rouge Point is to be rebuilt, it will mean taking more than half of the business of the other three freight terminals.
At the same time, Rouge Point is now one of several famous slums in Gotham City, where too many poor people live.
As long as the scarecrow spreads a little fear gas here, it will cause enough trouble for Batman to drink a pot.
Originally, the order of the rouge corner was maintained by major gangsters and underworld families. Now that Bruce wants to touch their cheese, they are naturally willing to push the scarecrow.
It can be said that the rapid rise of Scarecrow in Gotham City is also related to the indulgence of other underground forces in Gotham City.
"Although your revival plan is an ambitious plan that is beneficial to Gotham's development, your development of the Rouge Corner is a bit too hasty."
Li Lei knew Bruce's inexplicable affection for Gotham City, and his obsession with surpassing his father.
But Bruce's father's reconstruction of Gotham City was based on the accumulation of several generations of the Wayne family, and at the same time, he also obtained the support of another family of the four major families, the Kane family, through marriage.
And at that time, Gotham City was on the verge of dying, and the underground forces also knew that if no one saved Gotham, it meant that everyone's jobs would be lost.
That's why when Bruce's father Thomas started to rebuild Gotham City, he could get the support of so many people, and Thomas was very smart not to touch the interests of any vested interests.
He saved Gotham City's economy through the two major projects of rail transit and underground pipelines that are not occupied by any interest groups, so whether it is official forces or underground forces, they have provided help to Thomas' super project.
But now Bruce ain't got rid of Playboy
Therefore, both the political and business circles think that Bruce's recovery plan is a straw bag plan, and it is estimated that there are almost no people who are willing to join.
With the death of Bruce's mother, Martha, it was impossible for the Kane family to continue to support the Wayne family unconditionally, so Bruce lost the most powerful support.
Finally, and most importantly, Bruce has extended his tentacles to the shipping industry where various interest groups are intertwined, and intends to get involved in a complex rouge corner of the underground forces.
Li Lei felt that it was Bruce's luck that those interest groups did not send anyone to assassinate Bruce.
After Bruce listened to Li Lei's analysis, he was silent for a long time.
"I originally thought that as long as it is a good thing, there should be many people to do it together.
I think I still overestimate human nature, or the humanity of the citizens of Gotham City. "
Li Lei could only sneer at Bruce's words, which were so full of the glory of the Virgin Mary: "Everything in the world is for profit, does Mr. Wayne think that you are purely trying to revive Gotham's economy in the future?
Rouge Corner can be said to be the place with the lowest land price on Uptown Island. If Wayne Group enters the market at this time and revitalizes Rouge Corner, then the real estate company under Wayne Group may become one of the top ten real estate companies in the United States. ?
There is no discussion of Wayne Group's future earnings in the shipping market, logistics market, and business development.
It can be said that as long as the Wayne Group really manages the rouge horn, your Wayne family will have the most stable source of income in the next 50 years.
But Mr. Wayne doesn't think, why can only your family swallow such a big piece of fat alone?
And in order to prepare this piece of fat for you, you have to smash other people's jobs. Why does Mr. Wayne think there is support?
To do things in this real society, we more or less have to violate the interests of others to obtain our own interests.
But the worst way to play this game is 'zero-sum', and the highest way to play is 'win-win'.
If Mr. Wayne can unite the most interest groups behind you, as your father, Mr. Thomas Wayne, does Mr. Wayne think anyone else can stand in the way of your plan?
If I were you, I should think about how to keep my core interests, and then use other interests to win over the most powerful interest groups to become my helpers.
Mr. Wayne, I think you should discuss it with your directors. "
In a sense, Li Lei is in favor of Bruce's "Gotham revival plan"
Yes, but the current Bruce is not good at business, and he is doing things entirely with his own blood.
Li Lei can only say that thanks to the old Mr. Wayne leaving behind a group of loyal and capable courtiers, otherwise the Wayne Group might really be destroyed in the hands of Bruce Wayne.
"I will discuss this with the board again."
Bruce's tone was very steady, probably he really accepted Li Lei's suggestion.
"I'll take you to see the two children I adopted."
Bruce didn't want to dwell on the embarrassing topic just now.
Since Bruce doesn't want to talk about this topic anymore, Li Lei won't try to persuade him anymore, he knows his position very well.
In terms of business, the two are just partners. If Li Lei intervenes too much, it may arouse the hostility of the Wayne Group's board of directors.
What's more, even if the Wayne Group really collapsed, the pharmaceutical company still belonged to Li Lei.
And even if Bruce sells the shares of the pharmaceutical company, according to the contract, Li Lei has the right of first repurchase, so Li Lei is not worried that his fundamental interests will be hurt.
Bruce took Li Lei to the other end of the second floor, "This is the study room I used when my father was still there, but I didn't seem to study hard at that time, so my father felt very headache."
When pushing the door open, Bruce seemed to think of something, so he said something like this.
He pushed open the door without waiting for Li Lei's reply.
Compared with the main study of the Wayne family, this secondary study for cultivating the next generation did not follow the flashy and luxurious decoration style of the British court, but followed the simple style of the Renaissance.
At the same time, the colors in this room are also richer, making it look more lively.
When Li Lei followed Bruce into this room, there were two teenagers sitting in front of the two small desks in the room, or in other words, one was probably a high school student, while the other was a primary school student.
Bruce introduced the names of these two people. The teenager who looked like a high school student was Dick Grayson, the first generation Robin and later Nightwing; and the other elementary school student was Tim Drake, the future third generation Luo Bin and later Red Robin.
But now they are still very restrained and shy teenagers. After all, for them, the living conditions provided by the Wayne family make them seem to have risen from hell to heaven overnight.
Even if they don't understand what it means to be an adopted son of the Wayne family, they may as well understand from the respectful and jealous eyes of the servants in Wayne Manor that their current situation is envied by many people but cannot be obtained.
Compared with the children who grew up in the greenhouse, these children who grew up in the orphanage understand what the human heart is, not to mention that this is an orphanage in Gotham.
Based on the data that Li Lei knew, not to mention that all the orphanages in Gotham City had some dirty transactions, but [-]% of the orphanages should have such dirty things happening.
But if these two children can appear in front of the current head of the Wayne family, then at least they will not be involved in those things.
Otherwise, once the adopted son of the Wayne family or even the future heir of the Wayne family is involved in an unclear transaction, it will not only be a shame to the Wayne family, but also a shame to the entire upper class of Gotham.
"This is Li Lei, Mr. Li.
You can call him 'Mr. Li' or 'Uncle Li'. "
Bruce found Li Lei two nephews without notifying Li Lei at all.
But Li Lei can also understand Bruce's psychology. From the time he embarked on the road of vigilante guarding Gotham City secretly as Batman, Bruce never regarded himself as a "living person" at all.
Although Bruce also knew that Li Lei also acted as a half vigilante in Gotham City, he knew that Li Lei was not the kind of person who sacrificed his life for Gotham City, so Li Lei would become the guardian of the Wayne family after his sacrifice. Or, to protect her two adopted sons from growing up.
In order to allow his adopted son and Li Lei to establish a close relationship since they were young, Bruce's tone was also very gentle.
"If you have any questions and you are not around, you can ask Ah Fu or Uncle Li for help.
Ah Fu and Uncle Li are the most trustworthy people for me and you, I hope you will remember this. "
When Bruce said that he and Ah Fu were listed as the most trusted people, Li Lei's heart still fluctuated greatly.
In fact, Li Lei has no real friends in this world. Benjamin and Benjamin obtained friendship through inheriting the identity of the original owner. Although they did not reject Li Lei, Li Lei couldn't fully accept them deep in his heart; Hamada Although Hong turned an enemy into a friend, the relationship between the two became a bit delicate because of the entourage contract; in Jason's case, Li Lei regarded him more as his junior.
Bruce is the only friend he has made, but because of Li Lei's instinctive rejection of this world, he also rejects Bruce's friendship.
But what Li Lei didn't expect was that even though he was so withdrawn from the world, Bruce still regarded him as a friend.
Li Lei remembers that someone once said that the basic manifestation of a social person's survival in society is his various interpersonal relationships.
Because Li Lei was worried that he might be wiped out by the system or simply kicked out of this dimension at any time, Li Lei never dared to make his interpersonal relationship too complicated.
But now it seems that the degree of integration into this world is getting deeper and deeper.
However, compared to the beginning, Li Lei does not exclude himself from integrating into this society.
After listening to Bruce's introduction, Li Lei remembered that he should ask these two nephews for gifts.
So he took out two beautifully wrapped boxes from his pocket and handed them to Dick and Tim respectively.
"Because it's the first time we met, I don't know what you like, so I have to give you gifts according to our Chinese customs."
Because he had asked Ah Fu a long time ago, Li Lei knew the year of birth of Dick and Tim, and after calculating their zodiac signs, Li Lei exchanged the corresponding golden zodiac bone pendants from the system mall.
After all, for Chinese people, most of the meeting gifts for their nephews and nephews are mainly goldware.
Dick and Tim looked at Bruce, and after seeing Bruce's nod, they took Li Lei's gift.
Different from the customs of the Easterners, Westerners generally open the gift as soon as they receive it.
The two children then opened Li Lei's gift box and saw the gold pendants of different animals. They looked at Li Lei with some doubts.
Li Lei explained with a smile: "These two animals represent the patron saints of the year you were born.
According to the customs of the Chinese people, they will protect your safety. "
Of course Bruce doesn't care about the price of the two gold pendants, but Bruce still likes the meaning behind the gift very much.
After all, Bruce at this moment has no complete plan to train the two children to become his assistants, and in the original book, Dick also knew that Bruce was Batman by accident, so he chose to become Robin and become Batman's assistant .
But now Bruce is training the two of them as the future heirs of the Wayne family, so Bruce really cares about safety.
He told the two children to accept Li Lei's gift, and then thanked Li Lei.
Not long after Li Lei delivered the gift, Ah Fu notified Bruce and the others that the dinner party was ready.
So Bruce led everyone to the restaurant.
For Wayne Manor, there are several restaurants.
In addition to the large banquet hall and small banquet hall for guests, the rest is the salon for the hostess and the smoking room for the host.
Of course, there is also the main dining room dedicated to entertaining the whole family, which is usually the place where the Wayne family gathers for dinner or entertains special friends.
Ah Fu chose this place as the venue for the dinner, obviously agreeing that Li Lei and the others are important friends of the Wayne family.
When Li Lei and the others rushed to the restaurant, Hamada Hiroshi and others had already arrived.
Li Lei also introduced the people on his side to Bruce, Dick, and Tim.
Especially Adam, Li Lei said that he is the child of his distant relatives.
Bruce didn't have much interest in these details, so he didn't ask any more questions after listening to the introduction.
At the banquet, Li Lei sat at one end with Bruce and Hiroshi Hamada; while Dick and Tim sat at the other end with Jason and Adam.
Because the two sides were separated by flowers, the four children's side naturally gradually became lively.
For the lively children, Ah Fu, who was standing beside him, showed a gratified smile.
Although Bruce is a "strict father"
But he would not choose to destroy the children's friendly communication at this time.
As coffee and desserts were served one after another, the dinner party came to an end.
Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi followed Bruce to the smoking room. At this time, red wine and some snacks were served in the smoking room; while the four children were sent by A Fu to the game room next to the smoking room. For a family like the En family, it is perfectly normal to set up a special room for the children to play games.
Although Bruce didn't know what children like to play nowadays, Ah Fu bought all the game consoles on the market and games suitable for their age group.
After having friendship at the dinner table, the four children quickly paired up and started playing games in the game room, and Ah Fu also ordered people to bring juice and snacks.
In the smoking room, Bruce puts his "Gotham revival plan" to rest
and "Scarecrow"
I also talked about it with Hamada Hiroshi, and also brought Li Lei's analysis.
"It is true that I was reckless in this plan, and it is also because of my plan that it has brought more unstable factors to the entire Gotham City.
It is therefore my duty to catch the Scarecrow and hand him over to the police to deal with him. "
Bruce said, "I hope that if one day you catch him before me, please be sure to hand him over to me."
"Mr. Wayne, do you still trust the Gotham police and prosecutors?"
Hamada Hiroshi looked at Bruce with some surprise.
Unlike Li Lei, Li Lei is still half a member of the judicial system, and Li Lei is a good citizen who abides by the law on earth, so even if Li Lei knows that the Gotham Police Department is a place full of filth, but He hasn't completely lost faith in the Gotham Police.
But Hamada Hiroshi is different. He was born in Claw, and he doesn't have any affection or respect for the Gotham Police.
"The bad guys have to be dealt with by the justice system.
Even if he is a bad guy, the one who will sentence him to death will be the judge, not you or me. "
Bruce said, "If we take someone's life, even if his hands are covered with someone else's blood, then our position of justice is completely lost.
We are not qualified to deprive anyone of their lives. Once we replace the judicial system to try and punish others, then what is the difference between us and those villains?
Whether based on good intentions or malice, if we kill, we kill, no different than a willful murderer. "
Li Lei knows that Bruce is the general of all superheroes who "never kill"
The existence with the most thorough implementation of the principle, and even the observance of this principle is somewhat "Holy Mother"
The.
Therefore, Li Lei knew that there was no point in entanglement on this issue, because Bruce and Hiroshi Hamada would fall into an embarrassing situation where neither could convince the other.
"Bruce, we promise you."
Li Lei said before Hamada Hiroshi, "If we encounter the Scarecrow before you, as long as he has no intention of harming us, then we can arrest him in a non-lethal way and hand him over to you.
But if his defiance threatens our lives, or if he escapes justice, then we use lethal weapons. "
After hearing Li Lei's assurance, Bruce frowned.
But Bruce also knew that this might be the biggest promise Li Lei could give.
So he didn't ask Li Lei to continue to promise anything.
The three chatted about other topics in the smoking room, and the time on the clock reached ten o'clock in the evening.
Bruce looked at the time and said, "Are you staying with me tonight?
I just heard from Ah Fu that the precipitation is getting bigger and bigger now.
At the same time, without knowing what happened, the Gotham Power Plant suddenly tripped.
The entire Gotham City is now short of power, and some street lights have gone out due to tripping accidents.
If you plan to get it by car at this time, it is very unsafe.
Anyway, I have enough bedrooms here, you can stay overnight as you like. "
After discussing with Hamada Hiroshi for a while, Li Lei agreed to stay.
Now Bruce and the two children mainly live in several bedrooms on the west side of Wayne House, while A Fu arranges Li Lei and others in several bedrooms on the east side.
After Li Lei and the others settled down, they each took a bath and fell asleep.
And as everyone fell asleep, Ah Fu also began to turn off the lighting facilities in Wayne Manor.
When the originally brightly lit Wayne Manor gradually extinguished all the decorative lights and most of the lighting lights, only the street lamps on the road and a few small lights in the mansion remained in the whole manor.
At the same time, the security team hired by Wayne Manor began to patrol the manor.
Due to the huge size of the manor, night patrols were mainly concentrated on several main roads and the vicinity of Wayne Mansion.
Most of the security guards believe that under their own strict monitoring, no flies should be able to fly in.
But just when the security guards thought Wayne Manor was safe and sound, groups of men in black suddenly appeared in several places in Wayne Manor.
Before the security guards had time to activate the alarm, they lost their lives.
Soon, these men in black occupied the security room and the power room.
After they cleared out all the security guards and cut off the power, they began to attack Wayne House.
According to their intelligence, after clearing out these security guards, there is only one old butler and two young children in the Wayne Mansion, and that Bruce is just a playboy, completely unable to pose a threat to this group of mercenaries .
According to the mission they received, their goal is to assassinate Bruce, and all those who hinder this operation can be cleaned up.
But just when these mercenaries entered the Wayne Mansion very confidently, Li Lei and Hiroshi Hamada had already hid at the stairs on the west side of the third floor with guns, while Jason was ordered to protect Adam, Dick and Tim.
And when Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi started to act, Bruce had already woken up.
When he saw Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi who were already holding weapons, he couldn't help reminding: "If a gun is used, I can't explain it to the police.
Can we use non-lethal weapons as much as possible? "
Li Lei handed the picture of the black tiger taken by the drone to Bruce, while Hamada Hiroshi said sarcastically: "They are fully armed mercenaries, and when they surrounded and entered here, they have already captured you All the security guards were killed.
These mercenaries were all cold-blooded animals. Not only did they kill the security guards who were performing their missions, they even executed the security guards who put down their weapons and surrendered in the security room.
Mr. Wayne, do you still plan to talk about humanity and mercy to them?
It's your choice whether you want to go hand to hand with them, I wouldn't put the rest of us in danger. "
Seeing that Bruce could not persuade Li Lei and Hiroshi Hamada, he also gave up continuing to lobby.
Although Bruce now believes in the "principle of not killing"
But it hasn't reached the later stage where he not only believes in himself but also forces everyone around him to believe in it, and even organizes Jason, who is the second-generation Robin, to avenge the clown.
The current Bruce is at most acting as a reminder to Li Lei, but as for Li Lei's willingness to obey, Bruce has not forced anything.
But it seemed that he didn't want to see Li Lei and the two of them using lethal weapons, so he quietly lurked back and hid in the dark of the stairs on the left.
Perhaps because the ostensible security measures at Wayne Manor had just broken through so smoothly, this group of mercenaries had gotten a little carried away.
Little did they know that the real security measures of Wayne Manor had already locked them in, and their every move had long been in the eyes of Ah Fu, the old housekeeper of Wayne Manor.
At this time, Ah Fu was cleaning the sniper gun in his hand, and then adjusted the night vision goggles.
And the black tiger on Li Lei's side also dispatched drones to hide in several key locations. Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi's glasses already had their images on them.
The glasses of the two can not only receive the images sent by Heihu, but also have their own night vision and infrared detection functions.
Just when the group of mercenaries had just stepped up the stairs on the second floor, several muffled muffled gunshots shot the heads of several mercenaries walking in front.
After the headshot happened, the mercenary team became a little messy, but they didn't dare to shoot right away.
Because Wayne Manor is next to Gotham City's high-end residential area, and the people who live here are either rich or expensive.
Therefore, the Gotham Police Department has worked very hard to protect this place. Once the fire is exchanged, it will definitely attract the attention of the Gotham Police Department.
Although the behind-the-scenes of this group of mercenaries assured that the police would not arrive in such a timely manner, if the police really arrived and found such a serious exchange of fire here, then SWAT and the National Guard would definitely be dispatched.
If the SWAT and the National Guard arrive, then with the strength of these mercenaries, there is no guarantee that they will be able to retreat smoothly.
Once he was captured, he might be executed if he couldn't make it to court.
While these mercenaries were still hesitating, Ah Fu, who was hiding in the dark, fired a few more shots, and several mercenaries burst out their brains and blood together on the spot, and then they couldn't wait to go to hell to join their partners up.
Ah Fu's marksmanship naturally aroused the fear and panic of the mercenaries, and then they all pulled the triggers in their hands.
After listening for a while, Li Lei knew that it was the sound of an AK47 gun.
As the most classic machine gun in the history of human weapons, AK47 has become the weapon of choice for many mercenaries due to its high cost performance and high durability.
Shooting aimlessly in the dark is actually a very scary thing. Not only may you shoot your teammates directly, but the ricochets will also shoot at everyone irregularly.
Fortunately, this group of mercenaries fired randomly from the first floor to the second floor, and Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi, who were hiding in the dark on the third floor, would not be affected.
But Li Lei silently lit a candle for the decoration of the Wayne Mansion, and at the same time felt heartbroken for the insurance company that undertook the property insurance of the Wayne Mansion.
After a burst of random shooting, Li Lei heard Heihu say in the headset: "Master, I have already called the police.
But so far, Gotham Police have done nothing. "
After hearing Heihu's report, Li Lei felt that the assassination of Bruce this time might not be that simple.
This is not just the revenge of ordinary underworld forces, but also involves many prominent figures in Gotham City.
It seems that someone is not only dissatisfied that Bruce moved their cheese, but now not only wants revenge on Bruce, but also plans to swallow the Wayne family whole.
Regarding the ambitions of these people, Li Lei can only lament how good their appetite is.
"Let's not hide here and watch the show, in case Ah Fu is really hurt or no one is good."
Hamada Hiroshi said in the headset.
Li Lei agreed, and then made a tactical gesture for Hamada Hiroshi to cover him, and he was going to cause some trouble for those mercenaries.
Li Lei had a lot of smoke bombs in his backpack, so under the cover of Hamada Hiroshi, he went to the corner of the stairs from the third floor to the second floor, took out the smoke bombs and threw them down.
Li Lei didn't dare to use shock|shock|bomb, after all, if this thing didn't have special armor, it would be affected.
As for the smoke | fog | bombs, Li Lei believes that Ah Fu should have a response
Like all metropolitan cities, the city center is generally where the poor live, while the more suburban, the richer people gather.
As the head of Gotham's four major families, the Wayne family lived in Bristol County, which was close to Gotham City but separated from the city center by the Queens River.
The area of Wayne Manor occupies about one-third of the area of Bristol County. If the Goodwin Airport, which basically serves the Wayne family, is included, then two-thirds of the land in Bristol County is It is the property of the Wayne family.
The value of these lands alone is enough to keep the Wayne family from worrying about lack of money for generations. You must know that Bristol County is the place with the best scenery in the suburbs of Gotham City, so many rich people choose to settle here .
Also here is the "Gotham-Metropolis-New York City Freeway"
Gotham City's access point, and is only across the Liberty River from Gotham County, where Gotham International Airport is located.
Since it is the residence of the Wayne family, when the Gotham City Rail Transit was built, there was naturally a subway line leading to it.
In the words of the citizens of Gotham City, Bristol County is the Platinum District of Gotham City.
Across the Queens Bridge is the boundary of Bristol County. Compared with the gray concrete forest in the urban area of Gotham City, the greening of Bristol County is obviously much better.
Coupled with the occasional hills, Li Lei and others have a feeling of being close to nature.
Come down from Queens Bridge, then turn into West Bank Road, and finally reach the south entrance of Wayne Manor from Brunswick Road.
There are two roads at the south entrance of Wayne Manor, and Li Lei chose the one on the east side.
Although the entire plain in front of him and the hills in the distance belong to Wayne Manor, Li Lei knows that there are still different names within the Wayne family.
The entire estate is known as "The Stately Manor of Wayne"
(Stately Wayne Manor)
Because the ancestors of the Wayne family were nobles conferred by the Queen of England, this land is the fief of the Wayne family.
However, as the United States became an independent country during the War of Independence, outsiders generally used "Wayne Manor" except for the way the Wayne family still called it.
And the building in the very center of Wayne Manor was also awarded the "Wayne House" because of the Wayne family's past glory.
(Wayne Mansion)
After all, only noble residences can use the title of "Fu".
this suffix.
The entire Wayne Mansion is mainly designed in the Tudor style, but at the same time it is a mixture of the European court design and the Renaissance design style.
The characteristic of Tudor-style British architecture is that the shape is concave and convex, and at the same time, it pursues the balance between left and right.
Li Lei's black tiger stopped at the fountain in front of the Wayne Mansion, where he had been waiting for Li Lei's butler, Fu, to have his servants drive Li Lei's black tiger to the parking area.
For Li Lei, Ah Fu has always had a good impression, so he said very happily: "Mr. Li was able to take the time to come here to attend the dinner of the Wayne family, which really makes the Wayne mansion flourish."
Following the three-stage staircase, everyone came to the Wayne Mansion.
Similar to all the palace-style buildings of the year, the gate of Wayne Mansion is actually raised one level above the ground, and at the same time, it can only be walked up through two steps on the left and right.
Ah Fu led Li Lei and others into the Wayne Mansion from the stairs on the right. The main hall of the Wayne Mansion was very high, with several chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
Compared with the previous visits to Wayne Mansion, Wayne Mansion has been thoroughly cleaned and renovated recently.
With the current income of the Wayne Group, A Fu naturally does not need to save money for Bruce, so the entire renovation is completely restored according to the style of the year, and the materials used are naturally expensive.
But such a resplendent style didn't look particularly abrupt, and it didn't have that kind of local arrogance at all.
"The young master is waiting for Mr. Li in the study."
Ah Fu said, "I will show Mr. Hamada around the Wayne Mansion.
You haven't been here since the last time Wayne House started to be restored.
Now the entire Wayne Mansion has been renovated, not only repairing the previous damage, but also adding a lot of current equipment.
By the way, the Wayne Art Investment Fund under the Wayne Group has recently purchased a lot of oil paintings and artworks, I will take you to have a look. "
For the Wayne family, Ah Fu can't help but show off.
Hamada Hiroshi, Jason and Adam followed Ah Fu to visit the Wayne Mansion, while Li Lei came to Bruce's study familiarly.
Now Bruce's study still retains a strong British court style, but it has also added a lot of modern office equipment.
Li Lei guessed that Bruce and Afu took advantage of this opportunity to renovate the Wayne Manor to renovate and expand the bat cave under the Wayne Manor.
Li Lei didn't try to expose them either. Although he and Bruce had a good relationship, they were not family members, so he kept the secret of the basement from Bruce, and Bruce also kept the secret of the Batcave from him.
"Are you really planning to adopt two children?"
Li Lei said straight to the point, "Do you have some hidden illness?"
Although Li Lei knew that Bruce should train Robin first, but Li Lei would not show his foresight in front of Bruce.
"You should be able to guess my purpose, Ray, you just played it."
Bruce said coldly.
"You also know that my current status is very dangerous. I don't want to die without leaving an heir to the Wayne family."
"Then you can give birth to one yourself."
Li Lei said nonchalantly, "There should not be hundreds of thousands of women in the United States who are willing to bear children for you, but there must be 10,000+, right?
You can sign an agreement to protect your property and parental rights. "
"I don't want to talk about it. Since I plan to adopt two children, I will take good care of them and train them."
Bruce said, "Actually, the main purpose of my coming to you is about the 'scarecrow' that appeared in Gotham City recently."
"Does the scarecrow have anything to do with you?"
Li Lei looked at Bruce in puzzlement.
According to the setting of DC Comics, the reason why the Scarecrow caused a bloody storm in Gotham City is purely to avenge the bullying he received in school when he was a child.
It can be said that if Batman hadn't taken the initiative to find the Scarecrow, then the Scarecrow and Batman would be two parallel lines.
However, Batman's pursuit of Scarecrow and Batman's defense of Gotham City attracted the attack of Scarecrow, but his attack power is relatively limited, and he is not Batman's life and death enemy.
But this is not a pure comic world after all, it is estimated that the timeline has changed.
"Because the Wayne Group launched the 'Gotham Revival Project', and the first major project of this plan is to rebuild the Rouge Corner."
Bruce said lightly.
When Li Lei heard this plan, he knew why Bruce said that he provoked the Scarecrow, because although Bruce's plan was indeed conducive to the revival of Gotham, it offended too many people.
Carmine Point is the first commercial wharf since the opening of Gotham City, and it is still known as the "berthing yard" today.
The form exists, but most of the cargo terminals have been closed.
However, Rouge Point and Gotham City International Airport are only separated by the North River, and the two places are connected not only by expressways, but also by intra-city railways, so it can be developed into an international port integrating air and sea.
But the problem is that the shipping industry in Gotham City has now been mainly transferred from Uptown Island, where Rouge Point is located, to Downtown Island. Except for the Navy Commander Wharf on Sandy Hook Island, which is a military port, the other three major All docks belong.
The Falcone family, an Italian-American family, controlled the largest freight terminal in Gotham City, the Burnley Freight Terminal (located on the East River side of Lower City Island); Queens River side of City Island)
In addition, there is the Shell Bay area on Midtown Island controlled by the Copperpot family where the Penguin is located.
If the Rouge Point is to be rebuilt, it will mean taking more than half of the business of the other three freight terminals.
At the same time, Rouge Point is now one of several famous slums in Gotham City, where too many poor people live.
As long as the scarecrow spreads a little fear gas here, it will cause enough trouble for Batman to drink a pot.
Originally, the order of the rouge corner was maintained by major gangsters and underworld families. Now that Bruce wants to touch their cheese, they are naturally willing to push the scarecrow.
It can be said that the rapid rise of Scarecrow in Gotham City is also related to the indulgence of other underground forces in Gotham City.
"Although your revival plan is an ambitious plan that is beneficial to Gotham's development, your development of the Rouge Corner is a bit too hasty."
Li Lei knew Bruce's inexplicable affection for Gotham City, and his obsession with surpassing his father.
But Bruce's father's reconstruction of Gotham City was based on the accumulation of several generations of the Wayne family, and at the same time, he also obtained the support of another family of the four major families, the Kane family, through marriage.
And at that time, Gotham City was on the verge of dying, and the underground forces also knew that if no one saved Gotham, it meant that everyone's jobs would be lost.
That's why when Bruce's father Thomas started to rebuild Gotham City, he could get the support of so many people, and Thomas was very smart not to touch the interests of any vested interests.
He saved Gotham City's economy through the two major projects of rail transit and underground pipelines that are not occupied by any interest groups, so whether it is official forces or underground forces, they have provided help to Thomas' super project.
But now Bruce ain't got rid of Playboy
Therefore, both the political and business circles think that Bruce's recovery plan is a straw bag plan, and it is estimated that there are almost no people who are willing to join.
With the death of Bruce's mother, Martha, it was impossible for the Kane family to continue to support the Wayne family unconditionally, so Bruce lost the most powerful support.
Finally, and most importantly, Bruce has extended his tentacles to the shipping industry where various interest groups are intertwined, and intends to get involved in a complex rouge corner of the underground forces.
Li Lei felt that it was Bruce's luck that those interest groups did not send anyone to assassinate Bruce.
After Bruce listened to Li Lei's analysis, he was silent for a long time.
"I originally thought that as long as it is a good thing, there should be many people to do it together.
I think I still overestimate human nature, or the humanity of the citizens of Gotham City. "
Li Lei could only sneer at Bruce's words, which were so full of the glory of the Virgin Mary: "Everything in the world is for profit, does Mr. Wayne think that you are purely trying to revive Gotham's economy in the future?
Rouge Corner can be said to be the place with the lowest land price on Uptown Island. If Wayne Group enters the market at this time and revitalizes Rouge Corner, then the real estate company under Wayne Group may become one of the top ten real estate companies in the United States. ?
There is no discussion of Wayne Group's future earnings in the shipping market, logistics market, and business development.
It can be said that as long as the Wayne Group really manages the rouge horn, your Wayne family will have the most stable source of income in the next 50 years.
But Mr. Wayne doesn't think, why can only your family swallow such a big piece of fat alone?
And in order to prepare this piece of fat for you, you have to smash other people's jobs. Why does Mr. Wayne think there is support?
To do things in this real society, we more or less have to violate the interests of others to obtain our own interests.
But the worst way to play this game is 'zero-sum', and the highest way to play is 'win-win'.
If Mr. Wayne can unite the most interest groups behind you, as your father, Mr. Thomas Wayne, does Mr. Wayne think anyone else can stand in the way of your plan?
If I were you, I should think about how to keep my core interests, and then use other interests to win over the most powerful interest groups to become my helpers.
Mr. Wayne, I think you should discuss it with your directors. "
In a sense, Li Lei is in favor of Bruce's "Gotham revival plan"
Yes, but the current Bruce is not good at business, and he is doing things entirely with his own blood.
Li Lei can only say that thanks to the old Mr. Wayne leaving behind a group of loyal and capable courtiers, otherwise the Wayne Group might really be destroyed in the hands of Bruce Wayne.
"I will discuss this with the board again."
Bruce's tone was very steady, probably he really accepted Li Lei's suggestion.
"I'll take you to see the two children I adopted."
Bruce didn't want to dwell on the embarrassing topic just now.
Since Bruce doesn't want to talk about this topic anymore, Li Lei won't try to persuade him anymore, he knows his position very well.
In terms of business, the two are just partners. If Li Lei intervenes too much, it may arouse the hostility of the Wayne Group's board of directors.
What's more, even if the Wayne Group really collapsed, the pharmaceutical company still belonged to Li Lei.
And even if Bruce sells the shares of the pharmaceutical company, according to the contract, Li Lei has the right of first repurchase, so Li Lei is not worried that his fundamental interests will be hurt.
Bruce took Li Lei to the other end of the second floor, "This is the study room I used when my father was still there, but I didn't seem to study hard at that time, so my father felt very headache."
When pushing the door open, Bruce seemed to think of something, so he said something like this.
He pushed open the door without waiting for Li Lei's reply.
Compared with the main study of the Wayne family, this secondary study for cultivating the next generation did not follow the flashy and luxurious decoration style of the British court, but followed the simple style of the Renaissance.
At the same time, the colors in this room are also richer, making it look more lively.
When Li Lei followed Bruce into this room, there were two teenagers sitting in front of the two small desks in the room, or in other words, one was probably a high school student, while the other was a primary school student.
Bruce introduced the names of these two people. The teenager who looked like a high school student was Dick Grayson, the first generation Robin and later Nightwing; and the other elementary school student was Tim Drake, the future third generation Luo Bin and later Red Robin.
But now they are still very restrained and shy teenagers. After all, for them, the living conditions provided by the Wayne family make them seem to have risen from hell to heaven overnight.
Even if they don't understand what it means to be an adopted son of the Wayne family, they may as well understand from the respectful and jealous eyes of the servants in Wayne Manor that their current situation is envied by many people but cannot be obtained.
Compared with the children who grew up in the greenhouse, these children who grew up in the orphanage understand what the human heart is, not to mention that this is an orphanage in Gotham.
Based on the data that Li Lei knew, not to mention that all the orphanages in Gotham City had some dirty transactions, but [-]% of the orphanages should have such dirty things happening.
But if these two children can appear in front of the current head of the Wayne family, then at least they will not be involved in those things.
Otherwise, once the adopted son of the Wayne family or even the future heir of the Wayne family is involved in an unclear transaction, it will not only be a shame to the Wayne family, but also a shame to the entire upper class of Gotham.
"This is Li Lei, Mr. Li.
You can call him 'Mr. Li' or 'Uncle Li'. "
Bruce found Li Lei two nephews without notifying Li Lei at all.
But Li Lei can also understand Bruce's psychology. From the time he embarked on the road of vigilante guarding Gotham City secretly as Batman, Bruce never regarded himself as a "living person" at all.
Although Bruce also knew that Li Lei also acted as a half vigilante in Gotham City, he knew that Li Lei was not the kind of person who sacrificed his life for Gotham City, so Li Lei would become the guardian of the Wayne family after his sacrifice. Or, to protect her two adopted sons from growing up.
In order to allow his adopted son and Li Lei to establish a close relationship since they were young, Bruce's tone was also very gentle.
"If you have any questions and you are not around, you can ask Ah Fu or Uncle Li for help.
Ah Fu and Uncle Li are the most trustworthy people for me and you, I hope you will remember this. "
When Bruce said that he and Ah Fu were listed as the most trusted people, Li Lei's heart still fluctuated greatly.
In fact, Li Lei has no real friends in this world. Benjamin and Benjamin obtained friendship through inheriting the identity of the original owner. Although they did not reject Li Lei, Li Lei couldn't fully accept them deep in his heart; Hamada Although Hong turned an enemy into a friend, the relationship between the two became a bit delicate because of the entourage contract; in Jason's case, Li Lei regarded him more as his junior.
Bruce is the only friend he has made, but because of Li Lei's instinctive rejection of this world, he also rejects Bruce's friendship.
But what Li Lei didn't expect was that even though he was so withdrawn from the world, Bruce still regarded him as a friend.
Li Lei remembers that someone once said that the basic manifestation of a social person's survival in society is his various interpersonal relationships.
Because Li Lei was worried that he might be wiped out by the system or simply kicked out of this dimension at any time, Li Lei never dared to make his interpersonal relationship too complicated.
But now it seems that the degree of integration into this world is getting deeper and deeper.
However, compared to the beginning, Li Lei does not exclude himself from integrating into this society.
After listening to Bruce's introduction, Li Lei remembered that he should ask these two nephews for gifts.
So he took out two beautifully wrapped boxes from his pocket and handed them to Dick and Tim respectively.
"Because it's the first time we met, I don't know what you like, so I have to give you gifts according to our Chinese customs."
Because he had asked Ah Fu a long time ago, Li Lei knew the year of birth of Dick and Tim, and after calculating their zodiac signs, Li Lei exchanged the corresponding golden zodiac bone pendants from the system mall.
After all, for Chinese people, most of the meeting gifts for their nephews and nephews are mainly goldware.
Dick and Tim looked at Bruce, and after seeing Bruce's nod, they took Li Lei's gift.
Different from the customs of the Easterners, Westerners generally open the gift as soon as they receive it.
The two children then opened Li Lei's gift box and saw the gold pendants of different animals. They looked at Li Lei with some doubts.
Li Lei explained with a smile: "These two animals represent the patron saints of the year you were born.
According to the customs of the Chinese people, they will protect your safety. "
Of course Bruce doesn't care about the price of the two gold pendants, but Bruce still likes the meaning behind the gift very much.
After all, Bruce at this moment has no complete plan to train the two children to become his assistants, and in the original book, Dick also knew that Bruce was Batman by accident, so he chose to become Robin and become Batman's assistant .
But now Bruce is training the two of them as the future heirs of the Wayne family, so Bruce really cares about safety.
He told the two children to accept Li Lei's gift, and then thanked Li Lei.
Not long after Li Lei delivered the gift, Ah Fu notified Bruce and the others that the dinner party was ready.
So Bruce led everyone to the restaurant.
For Wayne Manor, there are several restaurants.
In addition to the large banquet hall and small banquet hall for guests, the rest is the salon for the hostess and the smoking room for the host.
Of course, there is also the main dining room dedicated to entertaining the whole family, which is usually the place where the Wayne family gathers for dinner or entertains special friends.
Ah Fu chose this place as the venue for the dinner, obviously agreeing that Li Lei and the others are important friends of the Wayne family.
When Li Lei and the others rushed to the restaurant, Hamada Hiroshi and others had already arrived.
Li Lei also introduced the people on his side to Bruce, Dick, and Tim.
Especially Adam, Li Lei said that he is the child of his distant relatives.
Bruce didn't have much interest in these details, so he didn't ask any more questions after listening to the introduction.
At the banquet, Li Lei sat at one end with Bruce and Hiroshi Hamada; while Dick and Tim sat at the other end with Jason and Adam.
Because the two sides were separated by flowers, the four children's side naturally gradually became lively.
For the lively children, Ah Fu, who was standing beside him, showed a gratified smile.
Although Bruce is a "strict father"
But he would not choose to destroy the children's friendly communication at this time.
As coffee and desserts were served one after another, the dinner party came to an end.
Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi followed Bruce to the smoking room. At this time, red wine and some snacks were served in the smoking room; while the four children were sent by A Fu to the game room next to the smoking room. For a family like the En family, it is perfectly normal to set up a special room for the children to play games.
Although Bruce didn't know what children like to play nowadays, Ah Fu bought all the game consoles on the market and games suitable for their age group.
After having friendship at the dinner table, the four children quickly paired up and started playing games in the game room, and Ah Fu also ordered people to bring juice and snacks.
In the smoking room, Bruce puts his "Gotham revival plan" to rest
and "Scarecrow"
I also talked about it with Hamada Hiroshi, and also brought Li Lei's analysis.
"It is true that I was reckless in this plan, and it is also because of my plan that it has brought more unstable factors to the entire Gotham City.
It is therefore my duty to catch the Scarecrow and hand him over to the police to deal with him. "
Bruce said, "I hope that if one day you catch him before me, please be sure to hand him over to me."
"Mr. Wayne, do you still trust the Gotham police and prosecutors?"
Hamada Hiroshi looked at Bruce with some surprise.
Unlike Li Lei, Li Lei is still half a member of the judicial system, and Li Lei is a good citizen who abides by the law on earth, so even if Li Lei knows that the Gotham Police Department is a place full of filth, but He hasn't completely lost faith in the Gotham Police.
But Hamada Hiroshi is different. He was born in Claw, and he doesn't have any affection or respect for the Gotham Police.
"The bad guys have to be dealt with by the justice system.
Even if he is a bad guy, the one who will sentence him to death will be the judge, not you or me. "
Bruce said, "If we take someone's life, even if his hands are covered with someone else's blood, then our position of justice is completely lost.
We are not qualified to deprive anyone of their lives. Once we replace the judicial system to try and punish others, then what is the difference between us and those villains?
Whether based on good intentions or malice, if we kill, we kill, no different than a willful murderer. "
Li Lei knows that Bruce is the general of all superheroes who "never kill"
The existence with the most thorough implementation of the principle, and even the observance of this principle is somewhat "Holy Mother"
The.
Therefore, Li Lei knew that there was no point in entanglement on this issue, because Bruce and Hiroshi Hamada would fall into an embarrassing situation where neither could convince the other.
"Bruce, we promise you."
Li Lei said before Hamada Hiroshi, "If we encounter the Scarecrow before you, as long as he has no intention of harming us, then we can arrest him in a non-lethal way and hand him over to you.
But if his defiance threatens our lives, or if he escapes justice, then we use lethal weapons. "
After hearing Li Lei's assurance, Bruce frowned.
But Bruce also knew that this might be the biggest promise Li Lei could give.
So he didn't ask Li Lei to continue to promise anything.
The three chatted about other topics in the smoking room, and the time on the clock reached ten o'clock in the evening.
Bruce looked at the time and said, "Are you staying with me tonight?
I just heard from Ah Fu that the precipitation is getting bigger and bigger now.
At the same time, without knowing what happened, the Gotham Power Plant suddenly tripped.
The entire Gotham City is now short of power, and some street lights have gone out due to tripping accidents.
If you plan to get it by car at this time, it is very unsafe.
Anyway, I have enough bedrooms here, you can stay overnight as you like. "
After discussing with Hamada Hiroshi for a while, Li Lei agreed to stay.
Now Bruce and the two children mainly live in several bedrooms on the west side of Wayne House, while A Fu arranges Li Lei and others in several bedrooms on the east side.
After Li Lei and the others settled down, they each took a bath and fell asleep.
And as everyone fell asleep, Ah Fu also began to turn off the lighting facilities in Wayne Manor.
When the originally brightly lit Wayne Manor gradually extinguished all the decorative lights and most of the lighting lights, only the street lamps on the road and a few small lights in the mansion remained in the whole manor.
At the same time, the security team hired by Wayne Manor began to patrol the manor.
Due to the huge size of the manor, night patrols were mainly concentrated on several main roads and the vicinity of Wayne Mansion.
Most of the security guards believe that under their own strict monitoring, no flies should be able to fly in.
But just when the security guards thought Wayne Manor was safe and sound, groups of men in black suddenly appeared in several places in Wayne Manor.
Before the security guards had time to activate the alarm, they lost their lives.
Soon, these men in black occupied the security room and the power room.
After they cleared out all the security guards and cut off the power, they began to attack Wayne House.
According to their intelligence, after clearing out these security guards, there is only one old butler and two young children in the Wayne Mansion, and that Bruce is just a playboy, completely unable to pose a threat to this group of mercenaries .
According to the mission they received, their goal is to assassinate Bruce, and all those who hinder this operation can be cleaned up.
But just when these mercenaries entered the Wayne Mansion very confidently, Li Lei and Hiroshi Hamada had already hid at the stairs on the west side of the third floor with guns, while Jason was ordered to protect Adam, Dick and Tim.
And when Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi started to act, Bruce had already woken up.
When he saw Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi who were already holding weapons, he couldn't help reminding: "If a gun is used, I can't explain it to the police.
Can we use non-lethal weapons as much as possible? "
Li Lei handed the picture of the black tiger taken by the drone to Bruce, while Hamada Hiroshi said sarcastically: "They are fully armed mercenaries, and when they surrounded and entered here, they have already captured you All the security guards were killed.
These mercenaries were all cold-blooded animals. Not only did they kill the security guards who were performing their missions, they even executed the security guards who put down their weapons and surrendered in the security room.
Mr. Wayne, do you still plan to talk about humanity and mercy to them?
It's your choice whether you want to go hand to hand with them, I wouldn't put the rest of us in danger. "
Seeing that Bruce could not persuade Li Lei and Hiroshi Hamada, he also gave up continuing to lobby.
Although Bruce now believes in the "principle of not killing"
But it hasn't reached the later stage where he not only believes in himself but also forces everyone around him to believe in it, and even organizes Jason, who is the second-generation Robin, to avenge the clown.
The current Bruce is at most acting as a reminder to Li Lei, but as for Li Lei's willingness to obey, Bruce has not forced anything.
But it seemed that he didn't want to see Li Lei and the two of them using lethal weapons, so he quietly lurked back and hid in the dark of the stairs on the left.
Perhaps because the ostensible security measures at Wayne Manor had just broken through so smoothly, this group of mercenaries had gotten a little carried away.
Little did they know that the real security measures of Wayne Manor had already locked them in, and their every move had long been in the eyes of Ah Fu, the old housekeeper of Wayne Manor.
At this time, Ah Fu was cleaning the sniper gun in his hand, and then adjusted the night vision goggles.
And the black tiger on Li Lei's side also dispatched drones to hide in several key locations. Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi's glasses already had their images on them.
The glasses of the two can not only receive the images sent by Heihu, but also have their own night vision and infrared detection functions.
Just when the group of mercenaries had just stepped up the stairs on the second floor, several muffled muffled gunshots shot the heads of several mercenaries walking in front.
After the headshot happened, the mercenary team became a little messy, but they didn't dare to shoot right away.
Because Wayne Manor is next to Gotham City's high-end residential area, and the people who live here are either rich or expensive.
Therefore, the Gotham Police Department has worked very hard to protect this place. Once the fire is exchanged, it will definitely attract the attention of the Gotham Police Department.
Although the behind-the-scenes of this group of mercenaries assured that the police would not arrive in such a timely manner, if the police really arrived and found such a serious exchange of fire here, then SWAT and the National Guard would definitely be dispatched.
If the SWAT and the National Guard arrive, then with the strength of these mercenaries, there is no guarantee that they will be able to retreat smoothly.
Once he was captured, he might be executed if he couldn't make it to court.
While these mercenaries were still hesitating, Ah Fu, who was hiding in the dark, fired a few more shots, and several mercenaries burst out their brains and blood together on the spot, and then they couldn't wait to go to hell to join their partners up.
Ah Fu's marksmanship naturally aroused the fear and panic of the mercenaries, and then they all pulled the triggers in their hands.
After listening for a while, Li Lei knew that it was the sound of an AK47 gun.
As the most classic machine gun in the history of human weapons, AK47 has become the weapon of choice for many mercenaries due to its high cost performance and high durability.
Shooting aimlessly in the dark is actually a very scary thing. Not only may you shoot your teammates directly, but the ricochets will also shoot at everyone irregularly.
Fortunately, this group of mercenaries fired randomly from the first floor to the second floor, and Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi, who were hiding in the dark on the third floor, would not be affected.
But Li Lei silently lit a candle for the decoration of the Wayne Mansion, and at the same time felt heartbroken for the insurance company that undertook the property insurance of the Wayne Mansion.
After a burst of random shooting, Li Lei heard Heihu say in the headset: "Master, I have already called the police.
But so far, Gotham Police have done nothing. "
After hearing Heihu's report, Li Lei felt that the assassination of Bruce this time might not be that simple.
This is not just the revenge of ordinary underworld forces, but also involves many prominent figures in Gotham City.
It seems that someone is not only dissatisfied that Bruce moved their cheese, but now not only wants revenge on Bruce, but also plans to swallow the Wayne family whole.
Regarding the ambitions of these people, Li Lei can only lament how good their appetite is.
"Let's not hide here and watch the show, in case Ah Fu is really hurt or no one is good."
Hamada Hiroshi said in the headset.
Li Lei agreed, and then made a tactical gesture for Hamada Hiroshi to cover him, and he was going to cause some trouble for those mercenaries.
Li Lei had a lot of smoke bombs in his backpack, so under the cover of Hamada Hiroshi, he went to the corner of the stairs from the third floor to the second floor, took out the smoke bombs and threw them down.
Li Lei didn't dare to use shock|shock|bomb, after all, if this thing didn't have special armor, it would be affected.
As for the smoke | fog | bombs, Li Lei believes that Ah Fu should have a response
