Teacher Li, who was sitting on the sofa and listening to the radio, was reminded by his henchmen and noticed the Mercedes-Benz car heading towards the yacht.

He just raised his head to take a look, then shrank back and continued to lie on the sofa bed to recover.

Teacher Li dared to guarantee with his own life that the Eight-Faced Buddha would not be on this Mercedes-Benz car. He had been following the Eight-Faced Buddha for a long time and was already very familiar with this guy's little movements.

The Eight-Faced Buddha has a little habit. No matter what he does, he likes to release a little smoke bomb to see if there are any greedy fish that will take the bait.

As an insider, Mr. Li knew, of course, that the area near the dock today was full of cops, all of whom were his comrades. However, he could do nothing but pray to God, hoping that his comrades were not crazy and would not directly confiscate the car. As for the rest, he could do nothing.

Fortunately, the Mercedes-Benz car had a smooth journey and stopped in front of the yacht.

"Master Li, has Grandpa arrived?"

"Do you want to hang the ladder out again?"

All the thugs stood up, flicked their cigarette butts and threw them onto the sea. The leader, the Fire Turtle, quickly started to ask.

"Whether it's Brother Buddha or not, we have to hang the ladder out. There's still plenty of time. Why rush?"

"Crazy line!"

Teacher Li, who was lying on the sofa bed, adjusted his position to make himself more comfortable, and then spoke casually.

"I'll go now."

The Fire Turtle, anxious to perform in front of the Eight-Faced Buddha, quickly ran to the stern of the boat and lowered the folding ladder to let the people in the car get on.

Teacher Li picked up the Buddhist beads made of authentic old mine imperial green jadeite on his wrist and began to rub them, watching the changes.

The door of the Mercedes-Benz car that attracted everyone's attention opened, but the person who got out was indeed not the Eight-Faced Buddha, but a middle-aged man in a black suit, carrying a small suitcase in his hand.

The man in the Mercedes-Benz car carried a small suitcase and walked towards the yacht's folding ladder. He did not get on the yacht. He just said that the small suitcase in his hand was what the Eight-Faced Buddha wanted, and handed it to the confused Fire Turtle.

Fire Turtle watched the middle-aged man in a suit leave, and hurriedly carried the small suitcase onto the boat. He returned to Teacher Li and reported to Teacher Li word for word what the middle-aged man in a suit who delivered the suitcase had said.

Pulling his sunglasses down a little, Teacher Li looked at the small suitcase in front of him and waved his hand indifferently: "Put this suitcase in the safe. This is Brother Fo's stuff, don't let anyone touch it."

"If Brother Fo knew that someone had touched his things, he would definitely cut off this idiot's hands and throw them into the Mei River to feed the crocodiles."

"The time Brother Fo ordered has come. Put away the ladder and let the captain start the boat."

"I've been itching to play a few rounds of Pai Gow recently. Fire Turtle. There should be a deck of Pai Gow on the boat. As long as the boat starts moving, everything will be fine. We can reach the high seas in fifteen minutes. Even the cops can't do anything to us."

Hearing Teacher Li's order, Huogui hurriedly carried the small suitcase into the cabin and locked the suitcase in the safe. Pai Gow is a must on yachts in Hong Kong, even on the foreigners' yachts.

While people on the yacht were preparing to start playing cards, Guo Guohao, Lan Xin and others on the shore were in great distress.

When he saw the Mercedes-Benz car leaving, Guo Guohao immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and prepared to ask his men to detain both the car and the person for interrogation.

But Lan Xin saw this and quickly shook his head to stop Guo Guohao's action, saying, "This Mercedes-Benz is the VIP car of the Peninsula Hotel. As long as you are a guest in the Presidential Suite or the King's Suite, you can use it free of charge. It is available 24 hours a day."

"Even if we detain the person, we have to release him in the end, otherwise it might alert the enemy."

"In a few days, I will send someone to find out the details of this driver and investigate whether the driver who delivered the suitcase is suspicious."

"The most important thing today is to catch the Eight-Faced Buddha. As long as you catch the Eight-Faced Buddha, you, Mr. Guo, will become famous and your promotion is just around the corner."

After hearing what Lan Xin said, Guo Guohao had no choice but to put down the walkie-talkie in his hand. He really couldn't alert the enemy now. Besides, the Peninsula Hotel was the largest intelligence trading station in Asia, although the McDowell family was not directly involved.

But all the major intelligence brokers would spend three times the price to purchase a long room at the Peninsula Hotel. It is said that the Japanese devils once spent one hundred large yellow croakers to buy intelligence about the Z Fleet of the British Malay Naval Base in a long room at the Peninsula Hotel.

The result was that the flagship of the Z Fleet, the battleship HMS Prince of Wales and the battleship HMS Repulse, were sunk, and 840 officers and soldiers on board were buried in the sea. The British Asiatic Fleet no longer posed a threat to the Japanese devils' operations on the Malay Peninsula, and could not pose any threat to the Japanese devils' landing on the Malay Peninsula.

Guo Guohao is a weak man and cannot afford to play such a big game. He can only remain silent and leave it to the intelligence department to handle.

"Buzz."

The whistle sounded, signaling the yacht to leave the harbor.

Hearing the sound, Guo Guohao quickly picked up the telescope in front of his chest and continued to observe the situation on the yacht.

The crew on the yacht had already removed the ropes and folded up the folding ladder, ready for the long journey.

"Don't move! Get the yacht off the shore and wait until it's out to sea before you do anything."

"Notify our brothers in the water police and be ready to set off at any time."

After issuing the order, Guo Guohao looked at Lan Xin and said helplessly, "Mr. Lan, we are unlucky this time. The Eight-Faced Buddha did not show up. It seems that we can only arrest Mr. Li this time."

"Oh my god! I thought I could catch a big fish this time, but it turned out to be nothing."

Hearing Guo Guohao's complaints, Lan Xin smiled and replied, "It's a great achievement for everyone to catch Teacher Li. I heard that Guo Sir's men solved two major cases this morning."

"If we can arrest Mr. Li, it will be a triple blessing."

"Congratulations!"

"We should have some information. The yacht hasn't sailed very far. Once it sails three nautical miles, we'll get on the helicopter and catch Mr. Li."

Seeing the guy from the Intelligence Department standing at the door of the observation room, Lan Xin grabbed the Hong Wanyan on the table and walked out of the observation room.

"What's going on? What information do you want to report?"

Lan Xin lit a cigarette for himself first, and seeing that there was no one around, he quickly asked.

"Brother Xin, Wusheng from the Security Bureau is here and he wants to see you."

The guy from the intelligence department looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he started to report.

Wusheng is here?!
Lan Xin quickly buttoned up his shirt and put on his suit jacket before letting his men lead the way. Wu Sheng from the Security Bureau did not enter the office building at the dock. He sat in his Jaguar sedan and got out when he saw Lan Xin arrive. He took the initiative to walk towards Lan Xin, extended his hand, smiled and said hello: "Mr. Lan, long time no see."

"What's Da Lan doing lately? He doesn't even go back to Hong Kong to play golf, but stays in Australia all day. I heard he made a beautiful birdie in the Amateur Open and won a gold-plated club!"

"Oh my god! Da Lan's luck is as good as ever. I really envy him."

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wu! My boss has not been able to play for the past six months. He learned to surf from young people and broke his leg. He is now recovering in Australia."

After shaking hands with Wu Sheng, Lan Xin very helplessly answered why his boss had not shown up recently.

Wu Sheng was also stunned for a moment, and laughed out loud at Lan Xin's explanation. Then he pointed to the side and asked Lan Xin to follow him. When they reached a deserted place, he said, "I have received accurate information that the Eight-Faced Buddha will board the yacht. If you can take care of the Eight-Faced Buddha, it will be a great achievement."

"But if you want to let Mr. Li go, our Security Bureau has a partnership with Mr. Li. We are very useful to him. Don't touch him."

"This is an order signed by the Chief of Security. The Chief Justice and the Speaker of the Attorney General's Council have signed it. Brother One, Sharpeson, has also signed the appendix."

"The most important thing is that the Governor and the Chief Secretary have put their seals on it, which guarantees that no one will cause trouble to you afterwards."

After making his words clear, Wu Sheng took out an envelope from the inside of his suit and handed it to Lan Xin.

When Lan Xin heard that Teacher Li was going to be given a chance to live, he immediately realized that Teacher Li was most likely the needle planted by the Security Bureau next to the Eight-Faced Buddha.

But he didn't say anything, nor did he try to be smart and tell the story. He just quietly opened the envelope and took out the order document inside. There were indeed signatures of the big shots that Wu Sheng had mentioned, not one missing, which meant that this was the final decision.

"Would it be too deliberate for me to blatantly let the water go?"

"The contraband gang is not a gangster. They have a very keen sense of smell. If they notice something is wrong, Teacher Li will be unable to move forward."

After thinking it over again and again, Lan Xin decided to express his concerns. After all, this was no joke. If the money was released in public, there would definitely be problems. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

"You are more professional than Da Lan, but you are more cautious than Da Lan."

"But the Hong Kong River is no longer the Hong Kong River of more than a decade ago. This time, no one from the Organized Crime and Triads, the military uniforms, the Flying Tigers, or the Marine Police will board the ship. The Intelligence Department will only send one representative, and that's you."

"Teacher Li will take care of the Eight-Faced Buddha and his minions. You just need to take the Eight-Faced Buddha's men away."

"As for the reason for the announcement, I have also thought of it, that is, there is no operation to capture the Eight-Faced Buddha, you are here to capture Da Fei, and the Public Relations Department of the police force will also announce to the public that you have seized a large number of thieves."

"This is an order!"

Wu Sheng took out a new order from the inside of his suit and handed it to Lan Xin.

Seeing the new order, Lan Xin quickly took it and read it carefully. After seeing the signature and seal on it were correct, he nodded.

Disciplined forces are disciplined forces, and legal orders must be obeyed.

"Ah Xin, your intelligence department did a great job this time. Very good. The two collective commendations are for you to appease your subordinates."

"As for you personally, I have also made preparations. I have also obtained two copies of the Legion Service Medal for you. Guo Guohao is a power-hungry person. He will definitely not be willing to give up the duck that is already in his mouth. You tell him that he has a copy of the Legion Service Medal."

"Even if this punk has great dissatisfaction, he will be willing to cooperate when he sees the Legion Service Medal. If he doesn't believe it, tell him that this is what his boss Shapison said."

"I have a meeting, so I'll leave first. You guys get busy!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Eight-Faced Buddha has appeared."

Wu Sheng glanced at the guy from the Intelligence Department who ran out of the office building and asked Lan Xin to do his thing first. He got into the Jaguar and left the dock.

Watching the Jaguar drive away, Lan Xin took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one for himself, then looked at the two command documents in his hand and shook his head helplessly.

"Brother Hao, after the yacht sailed two nautical miles, a large speedboat appeared with three people sitting on it. Their faces were not clear. Sir Guo said that there was a high possibility that there was an eight-faced Buddha on the speedboat. He asked Brother Hao to go back."

After hearing the report from his men, Lan Xin nodded, put the two orders into his pocket, and turned to go upstairs.

"Mr. Lan, this eight-faced Buddha is really cunning! He actually chose to board the ship at sea."

"We were right not to take action. Once the big speedboat leaves, we can send out a helicopter and order the patrol boat to handcuff everyone on the boat."

"You also know that Bamianfo, this loser, is a housewrecker. He sells five or six tons of goods to Hong Kong every year. At least a thousand people fall in love with Miss Bai because of him every year."

"If we catch him this time, we will definitely take this idiot to the target practice!"

Guo Guohao said excitedly, picked up the cigarette box on the table, lit a cigarette for himself, and suppressed his joy.

"Congratulations, Sir Guo. But the people from the Security Bureau have just arrived. The person above is indeed the Eight-Faced Buddha. But before taking action, Sir Guo, please take a look at these two orders."

Lan Xin reached out to close the door of the observation room, then handed the two orders in his pocket to Guo Guohao.

When Guo Guohao heard the word "Security Bureau", his brows suddenly frowned, and then he read the two orders carefully.

"Mr. Guo, the credit for this is still yours. The Security Bureau helped you get the Legion of Service Medal. Sharpeson can guarantee it."

"I will go on board alone, bring down the Eight-Faced Buddha, and then let Teacher Li leave."

Lan Xin refilled himself with another cigarette. He had not expected that Teacher Li was actually the needle planted by the Security Bureau next to the Eight-Faced Buddha.

There is no problem with the signatures or seals on these two orders.

When he heard that his merit would not be taken away by others, he would also receive the Legion of Service Medal, and the Eight-Faced Buddha would not escape justice, he thought it was a win-win-win situation. Guo Guohao had no reason to refuse. He simply nodded and said that everything would be done according to the requirements of the Security Bureau.

Lan Xin was stunned for a moment, then smiled. The Security Bureau was really good at judging people. Guo Guohao was indeed a bureaucrat-obsessed person.

"Everyone, wait until the big speedboat leaves and the yacht is ten miles away, then set off immediately."

Guo Guohao put away the two orders as evidence for future lawsuits, and then issued the combat orders.
