Chapter 60: Both Sides Are Taking Action
Frederiks Residence, the most exclusive and affluent area in Clermont.
Eric Frederick picked up the phone and asked casually.
"How did he perform?"
Director Jeremy Jonathan answered respectfully on the other end of the phone.
"Damian performed very well and has a real talent for producing."
"I hope it's as you say."
Jeremy suddenly asked a question expressing his concern.
"Mr. Frederick, will Ethan Lee find out about us and retaliate against me, after all, your company invested in my movie?"
"Don't worry, he's just a low-ranking policeman, and he doesn't have many days left to live."
"Really? Then I'm relieved."
After hanging up the phone, Eric Frederick gave a meaningful smile.
"Serena, your first enemy will soon join you in death, and I will find the second one sooner or later."
Eric Frederick's plan was very simple: to use every means to drive Ethan to Lano, a dangerous place that was neither a city with few police officers nor a desert that blocked smuggling routes.
He has already informed the drug cartel whose smuggling route was destroyed by Li Yisen three months ago that once Li Yisen arrives at the desert town with few people, he will definitely die and no one will know.
No, based on his understanding of drug dealers, Lee Ethan's body would probably be beheaded and displayed to prove that his group was not to be trifled with.
"I'm going to slowly torture you to death, Ethan Lee."
It was because he lost control of the gray market business that he allowed his mediocre son to try his hand at filmmaking, and Jeremy just happened to be a good director candidate.
.
At an open-air film set north of Hollywood, Los Angeles, Jeremy Jonathan put away his phone and looked at the slovenly man next to him, Damian Frederick, the only son of Eric Frederick.
"Damian, I think your father might have guessed something."
"So what if you guessed it? Anyway, the old man can't do anything to me. I should thank you for arranging a supporting role for Elsa. She was much more proactive and enthusiastic last night."
The two men exchanged knowing smiles; of course, a fifth or sixth-tier female celebrity would go crazy.
Damian suddenly pointed to the lead actress who was filming, a stunningly beautiful woman with shoulder-length blonde hair. If Ethan Lee were here, he would definitely recognize her as his former neighbor, Nicole Watts.
"I like this, is it possible to get my hands on it?"
"It's a bit tricky. Nicole Watts' recent art film grossed $1.2 million, and her agent is known for being strict. But if you're willing to spend the money, it might be worth a try."
"Hehe, I happen to have plenty of money."
While the two were chatting and laughing, a drone was pointing its camera at them from the sky in the distance. Although the distance was more than 500 meters, making the image unclear, it was still possible to make out who was who.
The drone was being controlled by Ethan Lee, who was on vacation back in Los Angeles and hadn't returned his rented apartment for convenience.
There are many restrictions on drones in Hollywood, with many no-fly zones. For example, Universal Studios and some major film studios have radar monitoring. Generally, an alarm will be triggered if a flying object enters within 500 meters, and private security teams and police will arrive quickly.
The Klin drone weighs over 10 kilograms, which is far superior to those smaller drones that weigh only three or four kilograms. He didn't want the first military drone to be destroyed.
Lee Esen finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the screen. He had searched for three days to finally find the other party's location. After all, there are so many Hollywood film sets, it would be difficult to find them without inside information, and he dared not get too close.
Now that the location is confirmed, only the filming time is yet to be determined. If it's a day shift, we'll start tomorrow; if it's a night shift, we'll start tonight, but we'll need to find cover.
As for why they didn't cause trouble for Frederick first, it was simply because they couldn't find an opportunity; security was too tight.
.
At the Falling Star Music Bar, an unknown band is performing. Ethan Li, a customer, fiddles with his glass while searching for his target.
Ideally, they should be young and easy to fool, and have an average appearance, so that it won't be too difficult.
Just as Li Yisen found his target and was about to take action, an uninvited figure suddenly sat down next to him, and a faint fragrance wafted over.
"You don't mind if I sit here, do you, Officer Ethan?"
Li Yisen turned his head and saw a mature and beautiful woman looking at him with a smile on her lips.
The newcomer had long, platinum-gold wavy hair that flowed down to her waist like molten platinum. Her mature and charming face was framed by gold-rimmed glasses, and her gray-blue eyes revealed a hazy quality through the lenses.
She has a curvaceous figure, and her long legs, clad in black stockings, are both slender and voluptuous.
The bodycon skirt accentuates a perfect silhouette, full and alluring.
The woman in front of Li Yisen gave him the first impression of being a mature and lazy older sister.
Do you know me?
"Of course, I've seen it a few times on the Los Angeles News."
The woman leaned on the bar counter, her head resting on her arm, and asked softly.
Would you mind buying me a drink?
Lee Ethan did not refuse, and after carefully examining the other party, he confirmed that the other party did not have any weapons.
The woman introduced herself, swirling her wine glass.
Freya Larson, a doctor.
Larson?
Surnames containing "Sen" may originate from Scandinavian immigrants, such as Kaia's Anderson, as well as Jørgensen, Eriksen, and the like.
While introducing himself, Lee Ethan asked someone to check if Freya Larson was lying.
"Ethan Lee."
"Can you tell me your police story?"
"Of course, no problem."
As Ethan Li described the story with a filter-like quality, Freya listened with increasing rapt attention, and the atmosphere between the two became ambiguous.
After a few rounds of drinks, the woman named Freya Larson was already drunk. Gone was the mature and charming woman she had been when they first met; now she was more like a cutie, slapping the bar with her hands.
"My awful father keeps pressuring me to get married, all this talk of a perfect match, pshaw! He never marries himself. He says I'm old, but I'll never get old, don't you think?"
"Yes, yes, may you always be young and beautiful."
Freya suddenly grabbed the man's collar.
"Little one, do you not believe me? Do you want your big sister to prove it to you?"
Li Yisen looked down and saw the snow-white skin beneath the collar, and that intoxicatingly alluring face.
.
Not long after, in the apartment that Li Yisen rented.
A beautiful figure had shed all her defenses, with only black stockings and the last piece of fabric holding up the defenses, the rest of her equipment scattered all over the ground.
As Li Yisen was feeling the contours of the undulating mountains, he was suddenly pinned down by a drunken woman, mainly because he didn't resist.
Freya gave a mischievous smile.
"I am the one in control."
.
At midnight, Li Yisen opened his eyes and looked at the woman next to him. She had delicate features and skin like jade. When she was asleep, she looked like an elf. He never expected that she would be so fierce when she went crazy.
After what just happened, the female doctor won't wake up before morning because he added something to her drink.
"Feel sorry."
He had no choice but to resort to this drastic measure to prove his alibi, hoping the other party wouldn't find out.
Li Yisen opened the window and jumped to the adjacent building, which was only 1 meter away, and then descended to the first floor via the external escape staircase.
No one noticed them along the way, no surveillance cameras captured it, there was only one masked person.
Soon, the drone flew over the edge of Hollywood again, its camera firmly locked onto the brightly lit filming location.
On a rooftop several hundred meters away, Li Yisen set up a sniper rifle on the edge; it was a Barrett (civilian version).
