Chapter 555: Chapter 257 Trump Tower_3 Chapter 555: Chapter 257 Trump Tower_3 Yan Fei observed the progress of the armored army and noticed that at every fork in the road, they would disperse some of their forces to blockade the area. Despite that, the size of their main forces did not seem to diminish even with the constant spreading out of their personnel.
Yan Fei knew the US Forces intended to forcibly close off the main thoroughfares of Las Vegas and search the city for his tracks. When he had ridden his motorcycle into the city, he discovered that there were surveillance cameras by the roadside. Although the number of cameras could not compare to those on the streets in China, they were basically capable of capturing clear images of people and vehicles passing by. It was because of these cameras that Yan Fei never thought he could completely evade the pursuit of the American soldiers.
Sure enough, as time passed, the pace of the American advance grew faster. Eventually, they even reached the central area of the Gambling City. This place was brimming with casinos and represented the most bustling district of Las Vegas.
The army encircled the entire area, preventing anyone from leaving. It was the wee hours of the morning, and everyone was embroiled in overnight battles within the casinos. Even if they were tired or sleepy, they would rest in the rooms provided by the casinos. Thus, there were hardly any people going out, and everyone was unaware they were inside a massive encirclement. Those who did go out were subjected to strict checks by the encircling American soldiers before being allowed to leave.
After enclosing the area, the American soldiers began to launch strikes in all directions, preparing to enter the various casinos to search for suspicious individuals. Seeing the soldiers brazenly entering the casinos, Yan Fei felt he had miscalculated. He had originally thought that since this was the United States mainland, the American soldiers would show some reverence for their fellow citizens. He did not expect they would be as rough as their operations overseas, apparently unconcerned about whether they were violating domestic laws.
However, the casinos were not pushovers. Their management personnel immediately took a stand, preventing the US Forces from entering the casinos and scaring their guests. Soon, both sides began calling for help. The US Forces wanted to obtain authorization from senior officials to forcibly enter the casinos, while the casinos sought pressure from their powerful backers to prevent the military soldiers from entering their premises. They wanted to avoid giving the impression that their casinos were unsafe, fearing it would deter people from visiting in the future.
Yan Fei also realized that the situation was looking grim. If the casinos were to back down and allow the American soldiers into the casinos to search, it would only be a matter of time before they found him there. Even if the soldiers couldn't enter this particular room, the security personnel for the senior officials would definitely come in to hurry their boss to evacuate because the area was unsafe. If those security personnel entered the room, they would immediately realize something was amiss and expose the whereabouts of Yan Fei and Yang Qi.
Yan Fei had to create some trouble for the American soldiers to delay their entry into the casinos. Otherwise, if they were to search without any care, they would eventually find Yan Fei and Yang Qi. But how could he block the soldiers from their search?
Yan Fei continued to scan his surroundings, and when he saw a yellow building not far ahead and made out the English letters on it, an idea suddenly struck him.
The building bore five English letters — “TRUMP.” It seemed this building belonged to the current President of the United States, a signature asset in Las Vegas. Having discovered that the building belonged to the President of the United States, an immediate plan formed in Yan Fei's mind.
