At the end of the workday, Gao Guang had a peaceful first day. But the highlight of the day was receiving his salary. Starting a business is difficult, and working alone is not easy. The most practical problem was that the salary was deposited into the company account, and Gao Guang didn't know how to withdraw the money. He felt helpless and confused, so he had to withdraw cash from his personal account and the remaining $20,000 in savings to pay himself.

Later, Gao Guang wanted to ask Grant for his opinion on buying a cost-effective rifle, but he gave up the idea. Every circle has a hierarchy of disdain. If you use a semi-automatic rifle, you will be looked down upon by those who use automatic rifles. If you use low-end and cheap products, those who use high-end products will naturally feel superior.

The rifle itself is not that expensive, but the accessories on the rifle are. A grip costs hundreds of dollars, a magazine costs over a hundred, and a good sight can cost thousands of dollars. Therefore, modifying a rifle may not necessarily improve its performance, but it can cost a lot of money.

Gao Guang didn't want to show off, so he decided to buy an ordinary mass-produced rifle. But as a military enthusiast, he still had some requirements. Gao Guang's pursuit was to at least get an HK416 or SCAR, which couldn't be any lower in terms of grade. He was determined not to modify or replace any parts, keeping the rifle in its original state.

Then Gao Guang went to his familiar shooting club. Under the strong recommendation of the salesperson, he first chose a civilian AR15 from the Big Snake, worth $1,500. Later, when he found out that he could purchase a fully automatic military version rifle in the company's name, he immediately switched to the military M4 automatic version, which didn't cost much more, only $5,500.

Originally, choosing an M4 was enough, but when he found out that there was a military version of the HK416, Gao Guang slightly increased his budget and switched to the HK416, which only cost $8,000, a friend's price.

What? You said the military only pays $1,500 for the HK416, and it's only sold for $4,000 on the civilian market?

Are you kidding? Do gun shops do charity work?

In the current market, buying a fully automatic military version HK416, even in stock, has doubled in price. Gao Guang wouldn't have been able to buy it for $80,000 if he didn't have a company that could legally purchase the military version HK416.After some sincere advice from the salesperson, Gao Guang decisively abandoned the heavy 255-gram steel magazine from the HK factory and switched to Magpul's PMAG polymer magazine, a lightweight, full-automatic, enhanced custom version that wasn't expensive, only a hundred dollars each, but don't mention the original price, because it's now in short supply.

You can't just use one magazine, you need to bring at least five or six at a time, and don't you keep some spares at home? That's a minimum of ten.

After buying the magazines, you can't just carry them in your hands, so you need a chest-mounted ammunition pouch for when you're in combat.

The gun is already so good, why embarrass yourself by buying the cheapest one? You have to get the best.

After changing the magazines, the grip remains the same, but you have to put on a sight. You don't need an optical sight, but you have to put on a red dot sight. Can you fight without it?

And if you're going to put on a sight, it can't just be a red dot, you have to go for a holographic sight.

An EOtech EXPS3-4, not expensive, only seven hundred dollars.

In the end, Gao Guang didn't turn his HK416 into a Christmas tree, he just added a few things, but his company account balance wasn't enough to pay for it, so he paid a five-thousand-dollar deposit and arranged to pick it up the next day.

The next day, Gao Guang worked another day and got another seven thousand dollars, and then he got his rifle, which cost a total of twelve thousand dollars, which was a bit painful to pay for.

On the third day, Gao Guang went to work with his new rifle.

But as a military enthusiast, he had to have some pursuit.

Actually, Gao Guang really wanted to show off his new gun, but Mike had already seen him fiddling with it all night, and Grant...well, he couldn't say anything nice.

"You bought a gun, huh? No way! You bought this gun too? Haven't you been ripped off enough?"

Gao Guang's face immediately turned ugly, but he decided to endure it, so he steadfastly changed into his tactical gear in the locker room, put on his bulletproof vest, and then put on the new combat vest he had just bought.

Grant only uses a normal civilian AR15, at most two thousand dollars, with no accessories on the gun, and a Glock 17, a very common pistol that he's seen too much of.

So Grant must be jealous, for sure.

After getting dressed and standing in the assigned area, Grant was still sour grapes."There are really idiots who spend a high price to buy this gun. It's not that the gun is bad, it's just that the cost performance is too low, you know? This gun is too expensive in the civilian market. If you need a military version of a fully automatic rifle, you have too many choices. Why do you have to buy HK, which is famous for being expensive?"

Grant shook his head and talked endlessly. He could easily give ten examples of cost-effective guns, but at this moment, Mike suddenly said, "Only poor people talk about cost performance."

"What did you say?"

Grant paused for a moment, then he was surprised and said, "What did you just say?"

Mike looked at the area he was responsible for and said deeply, "Only poor people talk about cost performance. Rich people only ask if it's good or not. Only poor people make choices. Rich people say they want it all..."

Although Gao Guang was not a rich person, at this moment, he felt that Mike was cute.

"Enough!"

Grant angrily shouted, "Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this. It's a stupid behavior."

Mike smiled slightly and said, "You are smarter than rich people and you understand more than the boss. Well, as long as you are happy."

It was the first time Gao Guang saw Grant speechless, and the first time he saw Grant unable to respond to being retorted.

After thinking for a long time, Grant finally said, "You speak as if you are very rich. Do you understand the life of rich people?"

Mike raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, saying, "At least I had the possibility of becoming a star, so I understand. You don't."

Grant was defeated. He was just talkative, but not good at arguing. Just as he was trying to find a reason to refute Mike, Sam's voice suddenly came through the earpiece.

"There is a situation outside the gate. Observe it."

As soon as there was a situation, everyone immediately stopped arguing.

After a while, someone reported on the walkie-talkie, "Two people are running towards us, wearing tight sportswear, without weapons on them. One male and one female, under 30 years old, coming from west to east, no other suspicious persons. Over."

The person guarding the gate quickly reported the observation results. Since there were only two runners, and they were both wearing tight sportswear, there should be no problem.

But Sam immediately said, "Take a picture of them as a record. I want to see if they live nearby."

The residents of Beverly Hills are either rich or wealthy, and it's much easier to determine the identity of runners than in other communities.

Gao Guang couldn't help but whisper to Grant, "Is everything okay? I think this situation is normal, right?"Grant whispered, "It's not normal, definitely not normal. This is the mountaintop, there are only a few households nearby, and it's 9 a.m. If it's a normal morning jog, don't you think this time is a bit late? And FBI cars park outside every day. If they were real neighbors, they should have known something was off here. Would they even run here if they wanted to jog? Most importantly, who lives around here? Would they run outdoors like ordinary people?"

Mike couldn't help but say, "Rich people also choose to run outdoors. It's normal."

Grant finally found the opportunity to strike back and said coldly, "If you really became a big star, you wouldn't say such stupid things."

At this point, Gao Guang also felt that Grant was right. If there was one suspicious point in an incident, it might still be considered normal, but if there were two or more suspicious points, it could be determined as abnormal. If there were three suspicious points, there was no need to say anything. Preparing for battle was definitely not wrong.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

Gao Guang lowered his voice and carefully observed the direction of the cliff he was responsible for. After confirming that there were no abnormal situations, he said to Grant, "What do you think is going on?"

Grant sighed lightly and said, "Surveillance, it must be surveillance. This is Beverly Hills. If someone approaches openly for surveillance, no one can do anything to them."

Just then, Sam's voice rang out again on the walkie-talkie.

"After comparing the photos, it was confirmed that the two runners are not local residents. Team 2, follow them and see where they end up. Note: if there is no threat, do not intercept or question them. FBI will take care of it."

The atmosphere did become tense, but Gao Guang and his team couldn't see what was happening on the road, and he wouldn't know about the developments unless they were reported on the walkie-talkie.

After waiting quietly for a while without any follow-up reports, Gao Guang's heart couldn't be put down. But he didn't have the qualifications to ask Sam what had happened.

Just as Gao Guang was getting anxious, Grant suddenly said, "Unmanned aerial vehicle! Boss, report the situation. A UAV is approaching us from the south!"

Gao Guang looked up but didn't see the UAV. However, he didn't hesitate to grip the communication device on his ear and whispered, "Team 5, report. UAV approaching from the south."

Grant pointed to the sky and said, "It's about 300 meters high, visible to the naked eye, not a small micro drone, and it's still approaching us. This must be a reconnaissance aircraft!"Gao Guang immediately repeated Grant's words, and then Sam immediately said, "Received, I'll be there soon, keep watch."

The atmosphere in the air reconnaissance finally became truly tense.
