Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1228 Doubts Arise

Guo Ming anxiously dialed the bank's number repeatedly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. The same formulaic response came from the other end: "The account freeze is a police order; we have no authority to handle it..."

"The police?" Guo Ming's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the microphone. He frantically searched his contacts, his fingers swiping wildly across the screen, trying to find someone who could resolve this crisis.

Outside the finance office, Lambowman watched everything through the glass window, a cold smile playing on his lips. He turned and left, his leather shoes clicking softly on the marble floor.

Back in his office, after reflecting on what had just happened, he suddenly sat up straight, startling Shao Zhilang who was sitting next to him.

"what happened?"

Lan Bowen took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Mr. Dong has become suspicious of us."

Shao Zhilang wasn't stupid. After a moment's thought, he immediately understood: "Was it the time the bank froze his account that made him suspicious?"

“That’s right.” Lan Bowen nodded, his gaze growing serious. “If it were me, I would also be suspicious. Mr. Dong… appears gentle on the surface, but in reality, he has an extremely strong desire for control. Demao Group is slipping out of his control.”

Upon hearing this, Shao Zhilang frowned. He was not in a high-level position at Demao Company, so he did not know about Mr. Dong's existence and knew even less about him.

"It can't be that bad. I have my suspicions, but it hasn't come to this point, has it?"

“For him, out-of-control pieces should be replaced.” Lan Bowen walked to the window and looked down at the endless stream of cars below. “Unable to identify the traitor, he replaced the entire management team. Although the losses were heavy, it was indeed in line with his style.”

"For him, replacing the leaders of the Demao Group, which has fallen out of his control, is the best option."

"So there's a high probability that we will be attacked, but we don't know what kind of attack it will be."

"Hiss!" Shao Zhilang exclaimed in surprise, "You mean he's going to replace all the top executives at Demao Group?"

Shao Zhilang took a deep breath, various methods flashing through his mind. Finally, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "If he wants us dead, let's see if he has the ability. Right now, you are the strongest in the company, and I also have a group of people under my command. As long as we unite, we are not without the ability to resist."

"And most importantly, I don't believe that Mr. Dong would use the company's power. If he did, who would dare to work for him in the future? So he will only use some hidden power, or pay someone to kill us."

"In that case!" Shao Zhilang sneered, "then it's not certain who will die!"

Lan Bowen didn't answer immediately. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You're right, but we still need to tell Liu Sir first. With the police as a backup, we'll have enough leeway no matter what happens to us."

Shao Zhilang's expression was somewhat stiff; he still hadn't quite shaken off his identity. However, he understood that Ah Lan was right, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Lan Bowen immediately took out his phone and sent Liu Jianming a Kang's password text message. Since he was already used to it and needed time to get used to the new password, he didn't change it.

After receiving the message, Liu Jianming frowned. That Mr. Dong was quite ruthless, always wanting to reshuffle the deck. Han Chen hadn't done that, but this was also related to the difference in strength between the two sides.

After all, Han Chen only has a few people under his command, while that Mr. Dong has many people and a lot of money, so it's not surprising that he would have the idea of ​​a one-size-fits-all approach.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and dialed Qiu Gang'ao.

"Ah Ao, are you free these next few days? If not, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

A moment later, Liu Jianming sent a Kang's cipher text message to Lan Bowen.

Upon seeing the message, Lan Bowen's tense shoulders finally relaxed a little, and Shao Zhilang next to him asked anxiously, "What does it say?"

"Inspector Liu contacted a team of elite members from the Major Crimes Unit to help us. He told us to call them if we needed support, and they would arrive within five minutes. In addition, he also warned us to be careful of bombs. Assassins can have time to resist, but with bombs, no one has time to save them."

Shao Zhilang immediately understood: "I'll instruct my men to be careful, especially in the cars. If there's a bomb planted there, there'll be no chance of survival."

The two immediately contacted their subordinates to inspect and guard their vehicle 24 hours a day.

"Let's go for a drink tonight and discuss whether we can take advantage of this opportunity to catch that Mr. Dong. He's been hiding all this time, we have to find him, otherwise we won't be able to sleep peacefully anymore."

“Yes, no problem.” Lan Bowen nodded. “By the way, secretly collect some things; these things can be counted as credit in the end.”

"Understood!" Shao Zhilang gave an OK sign and turned to leave.

On the other side, Guo Ming, who had contacted many people but had not achieved any results, was furious.

"Lan Bowen, you bastard, you deliberately ruined the transfer, causing Mr. Dong to blame me. You must die! You have to die!"

......

As evening fell, Lan Bowen and his men arrived at the company's underground parking lot when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a gunman emerging from behind a pillar in the distance, pointing a gun at him. His mind raced with alarm, and he shouted, "Watch out!"

After shouting, he suddenly grabbed his assistant, Ah Ying, and together they dodged to the side.

The next second, several bullets hit the wall behind him.

Immediately afterward, his men began to fight back, but even more assassins emerged from the surrounding area.

"Clap clap clap!"

The sound of bullets hitting each other kept Lambowen from even raising his head, as the assassins were all focused on him.

Ah Ying was also trained, and under these circumstances, she quickly covered Lambowman's retreat.

But under the assassins' overwhelming firepower, their retreat was extremely difficult.

At the critical moment, familiar gunshots rang out from the side. Shao Zhilang and his men arrived, accurately firing down several assassins.

Shao Zhilang shouted loudly, "Ah Lan, don't worry, I'm here!"

He was currently holding a gun, killing assassins one by one.

Upon hearing the shouts, Lan Bowen smiled knowingly and shouted back, "You little rascal, you're so late! You'll have to be punished with three drinks later."

He believed that Shao Zhilang would come to his aid because they were brothers!

While firing, Shao Zhilang shouted, "No problem, we must drink to our hearts' content tonight!"

Lan Bowen and his men began to fight back. Surrounded by the two sides, all the assassins were wiped out. Amidst the smoke and fire, the two men smiled at each other, their years of brotherhood unspoken.
