Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1190: Alarming the Snake

Even with bulletproof vests, there was still a huge gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides. The police squad was completely overwhelmed and could not lift their heads. Moreover, the bulletproof vests could only protect the torso, not the head, hands, feet, and limbs.

As the fighting continued, the police squad suffered increasingly heavy casualties.

At this critical moment, Peng Yixing arrived with his men. He was originally the King of Guns, but because he had no opponents, his strength had reached a bottleneck. It wasn't until he met Hua Sheng that he realized there were always people more skilled than him.

Under Watson's guidance, his marksmanship, which had reached a plateau, was further improved.

Today, Peng Yixing's title of "King of Shooting" is not only known within the shooting community, but also throughout the entire Hong Kong Island Police Force.

And this was all thanks to his own superb marksmanship.

Upon arriving at the scene, he immediately opened fire on the bandits. However, after the first shot hit their torso and he realized they were wearing bulletproof vests, he fired every subsequent shot with his head held high.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

With the sound of gunfire, two bandits fell to the ground, and the others quickly took cover behind cover.

Upon hearing the gunshot, the squad leader, who had been shot in the arm, immediately realized that backup had arrived. He forced himself to endure the pain and said, "Hold on, everyone, backup has arrived."

Meanwhile, the person in charge of the gang quickly contacted the person behind them.

After a moment of silence, the person behind could only helplessly say:

"...Let's retreat!"

There's nothing we can do about it. In this situation, it's unlikely we can safely take them away. If we're trying to silence them, the guards who have been arrested will definitely tell us everything.

If we retreat, we can gamble that these people won't speak up, although the probability is very low, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Upon receiving the order, the tactical bandit squad quickly began their withdrawal.

Seeing this, Peng Yixing did not lead his men to chase after them. Instead, he came to the side of the escort team and, seeing that some of them were dead and others were injured, quickly shouted, "Has the ambulance arrived yet? Urge them to hurry up. There are people here who are seriously injured."

After the ambulance arrived and took away the injured police officer, Peng Yixing personally led a team to escort the relevant personnel to the police station.

Watson quickly received the news and said, "Ren, this method of luring the snake out of its hole has worked. These guards are indeed problematic. Check the accounts of these family members. Also, inform those guards about this matter."

"At this point, I imagine many people would not be able to hold on any longer."

"Hurry up, I want to see who's behind this!"

As he said this, he took a drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled. Surrounded by smoke, his face appeared extremely cold.

To be honest, he already had a guess about who it was. After all, there are only two people who can control the Major Crimes Unit. However, he didn't want to reveal it before he had evidence. In this kind of situation, you have to catch the thief red-handed to shut everyone up.

Chen Yongren understood Hua Sheng's meaning perfectly and immediately stood at attention, shouting, "Yes, Sir!"

After thinking for a moment, Hua Sheng called his assistant and said, "Notify Li Wenbin, He Wenzhan, Kuang Zhili... to have a meeting in an hour regarding the attack on the family members of the Major Crimes Unit guards."

The purpose of doing this was to alert the enemy. He was unsure whether Li Wenbin was involved, so he planned to try this method.

Following the notification from the deputy director's assistant, everyone quickly received the news.

Li Wenbin personally went to Kuang Zhili's office, pushed open the door and said in a deep voice, "You've received the notification, haven't you? The family members of the Major Crimes Unit's guards have been attacked. Regardless of whether the attackers' purpose was to kidnap or silence them, it means one thing: someone from the Major Crimes Unit is involved."

As he spoke, he looked at Kwong Chi-lap with a cold gaze, awaiting the other's reply.

Kwong Chi-lap was inwardly panicking, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Officer Lee, we can't be sure yet. Maybe it's just a smoke bomb used by the bandits."

Li Wenbin scoffed, "How many years have you been a policeman? How can you say something like that? Isn't this kind of thing easy to investigate? Why use a smokescreen? And send out assassins in broad daylight?"

"You told me to trust the brothers in the Major Crimes Unit, and I believed you. Now that this has happened, how am I and Inspector Wah supposed to explain this? How am I supposed to explain this to the entire police force?"

At this moment, Kwong Chi-lap's face was extremely ugly. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how. The other party was his superior and backer. How could he refute in this situation?

Li Wenbin sighed: "After this incident, you probably won't be able to keep your position as head of the Major Crimes Unit. You must understand the importance of this position very well. If I hadn't sided with Inspector Hua, you probably would have been transferred from this position long ago."

"But don't worry, I won't abandon you. After all, we're brothers."

"I can give you two options: one is to become the chief of a district police station, and the other is to become the deputy chief of a regional police station. After that, when the chief of the regional police station retires, you can smoothly take over."

"Of course, if I am able to take over from Inspector Wah after he takes office, I will transfer you back."

After speaking, Li Wenbin quietly looked at Kuang Zhili, waiting for his decision.

This is a huge incident. The collusion between the police and criminals led to the death of a suspect, which is far more serious than the last time a killer sneaked in and killed a suspect.

At this time, he was unaware that Kwong Chi-lap was the mastermind behind the major crimes unit, and was still considering Kwong Chi-lap's future.

Kuang Zhili clenched his teeth, his face extremely pale, unable to utter a single word. He was in a state of utter confusion. It seemed that he had been given two choices, but if the guards exposed him, he would be truly doomed, with no future in sight, and even his survival would be uncertain.

Although Hong Kong Island no longer has the death penalty, there are still many ways to kill someone, especially for those in high positions.

You don't even need to lift a finger. Once you get inside the prison and the inmates find out you're a police officer, you can imagine how difficult it will be for them, especially since some of the people in the prison are people that Kwong Chi-lap personally arrested.

Once they get to prison, they probably won't need any special care; they'll be made to wish they were dead.

Looking at Kuang Zhili's grim face, Li Wenbin sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "In this situation, we can only lie low for now. Think it over carefully, and tell me your decision. I will plead with Inspector Hua."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, and everything he said was recorded by the listening team led by Liu Jianming.
