Wednesday, northeast of the Federation, Pennsylvania. As one of the original thirteen states of the Federation, Pennsylvania has been known for religious freedom and political democracy since its establishment, exerting significant influence in North America. Also, because many important chapters in the short history of the Federation were written in Pennsylvania, and with the state being located right in the middle of the thirteen, it played a central role at the beginning of the Federation's independence, thus earning the nickname "The Keystone State." At ten in the morning, Luo An led a special investigation team to Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania. In the quickly moving eight MPVs, Mona held a laptop displaying a photo of a white-haired elderly man to everyone, introducing: "Based on the information provided by that manager, as well as data from the FBI's internal database, we can confirm that this wealthy businessman named Chris Modi is the founder of the 'Skull Blossom' Assassin organization." Next to Mona, NSA female agent Iris tapped a few keys on the keyboard, then continued: "Modi Norman, 62 years old this year, according to the NSA's database, he is an immigrant to the Federation. He earned his first fortune through buying and selling used cars when he was young, then started his own company, with businesses spread across the Federation. His wife died early and he only has one daughter. Judging purely by the text, there's nothing suspicious about Modi Norman, but his economic situation is a bit too 'normal', this man is definitely not simple." Mona rolled her eyes slightly, and seeing this, Reesi chuckled, while Michelle reached out to pat her lightly. Sitting in the front passenger seat, Luo An nodded. As soon as he heard "Modi" in the name, he knew the man was not to be taken lightly, and asked loudly: "Michelle, how's the situation with the local SWAT team?" Michelle immediately replied: "We can start the operation at any time!" "Good, have them move out now!" Luo An patted the driver Winslow and said: "Turn left at the intersection ahead, we're going straight to Mr. Modi's house!" Winslow nodded firmly, the red light turned green, and the MPV immediately turned left and sped away. Ten minutes later, on the outskirts of a villa area in Harrisburg, the MPV and two SWAT troop transport vehicles successfully rendezvoused. After a brief introduction of identities and changing into their gear, Luo An turned to look at Mona sitting in the vehicle, typing rapidly on the keyboard with furrowed brows: "Sorry, Luo An, there's a problem with the surveillance in this area. It's possible that they've been physically tampered with, I can't find anything." Even the best hackers need power and ethernet connections. Physical tampering is always the most effective and also the method that leaves Mona the most helpless. Luo An's expression remained unchanged as he turned and commanded: "Winslow, Reesi, lead one team from the left to encircle, I will lead another team from the right, move swiftly. If there is any resistance, shoot to kill!" The agents and SWAT team members responded in unison, quickly formulating a plan of action and immediately moved toward the target villa. This was a very large villa, with not only a central large house but also extensive lawns, trees around, and even a swimming pool nearly as big as the villa itself. As the team reached the edge of the villa and was advancing, Luo An's complexion suddenly changed, and he fiercely raised his fist to signal for everyone to stop. The SWAT team members promptly halted their advance, carefully surveying the elevations around them but found nothing, looking at Luo An with confusion. Luo An carefully took a few steps forward, bent down to part the low shrubbery outside the villa, and a thin tripwire appeared before the SWAT team members' eyes. A trace of surprise flashed in the SWAT team members' eyes, they looked at Luo An with some astonishment as he carefully circumvented the tripwire and the booby trap at its end, then pressed his communicator and whispered: "Reesi, Winslow, proceed with caution on your side, there are booby traps around the villa." On the other side of the villa, Winslow and Reesi's expressions turned severe, they slowed their advance and carefully observed the shrubbery, indeed finding several booby traps. Winslow, Reesi, and all the SWAT team members heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at each other, and saw the sense of relief in each other's eyes. Both teams quickly surrounded the villa, and once they confirmed they had reached their positions, Luo An immediately pressed his communicator and commanded: "Begin the operation!" As the voice fell, no one responded, two SWAT tactical teams simultaneously charged out, the lead member holding a riot shield, followed closely behind by a host of team members, moving swiftly towards the central big house. "FBI! Open The Door!" "Drop your weapons! Drop your weapons!" As the villa's front door swung open, SWAT members immediately saw several guys in the living room holding pistols. While loudly shouting warnings, upon seeing that the opposition was still preparing to shoot, SWAT members did not hesitate to pull their triggers. "Put your hands up! Raise them!" "Drop your weapons! Get on the ground!" Gunshots, shouts, pleas for mercy, and screams instantly filled the villa's first floor. Luo An paid no attention to those people and gestured to follow the other SWAT members quickly toward the second and third floors. Not a soul was present in any of the second-floor rooms. Suddenly, gunshots came from the third floor, and the communicator also echoed the high-pitched calls of the SWAT members: "There are enemies on the third floor! They're shooting! Be careful! Be careful!" Winslow and Reesi's expressions tightened, and they quickly hurried up the stairs. Just as they reached the stairwell, a flurry of bullets suddenly rained down, causing Winslow, Reesi, and several SWAT members to immediately turn back for cover. Luo An, trailing at the rear, was calm, patting Winslow on the thigh and saying coolly: Winslow was startled for a moment but quickly stepped aside. Luo An pulled out two shock grenades from his waist and threw them towards the opposite wall. The two shock grenades rebounded off the wall and flew in a graceful arc towards the source of the gunshots. The next second, a blinding flash and deafening sound erupted, the fierce gunfire instantly ceased, Winslow and Reesi smiled broadly and swiftly rose, leading SWAT members towards the innermost room. "Get down! Get down!" Luo An followed at a leisurely pace into the room, and upon entering, he was met by the strong scent of blood. Following the smell, he turned his head and saw an elderly white man dressed in a fine suit with a gunshot wound to the forehead, eyes wide open in death, lying in a pool of blood. The face of the elderly white man was indeed Modi Norman, but he wasn't killed by the SWAT team. Luo An frowned slightly and turned to look at nearby SWAT members who were firmly pinning down three struggling men and one woman. Luo An waved his hand, and the three men and one woman were immediately pulled up from the ground by SWAT members. One of the women glared at Luo An and said sharply: ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net Luo An chuckled and asked: Luo An suddenly understood. A female NSA agent, Iris, had once mentioned that Modi Norman's wife had died young, he had not remarried for many years, and only had one daughter. That daughter's name was Sofia Norman. Just as Luo An was about to continue speaking, he suddenly noticed a handgun on the ground beside him. Reesi picked up the handgun and handed it to Luo An, whispering: "It was taken from this woman's hand just now." Luo An nodded, examined the handgun carefully, and then turned back to look at Modi Norman's corpse with the bullet wound on his forehead. His mouth curled into a smile. Winslow and Reesi by his side also noticed Luo An's action. After scrutinizing for a few seconds, their expressions shifted, looking at Sofia in shock: "You killed your father?!" Sofia sneered and did not answer, instead repeating to Luo An: "Let me go, or you will die."
